A Quick Card
Made up a quick card tonight to play along with Jeanette’s Color Me Monday. Nothing fancy, just quick 🙂 Wanna play along too? Here’s this week’s colors:
A New Passion
Okay, I’ll admit it…I’ve become addicted to another craft. Ragg quilts. A friend of mine has a die for cutting out the squares. Which is no doubt why I love making them so much. Because quite honestly, while I love the look of them, I can’t really picture myself painstakingly snipping each edge of each and … Read more A New Passion
Time to Play!
Found time to play along with Project Tuesday this week. Love, love, love the project for this week. So super simple and so stinkin’ cute too! Here’s my quick “One Sheet Box”: I will definitely be making a lot more of these cuties! I encourage you to try one out too! Products used: Cocoa … Read more Time to Play!
Fun with Felicity
Have you seen our gorgeous new Felicity Kit especially for National Papercrafting Month yet?? It comes with beautiful papers, stunning die-cuts and a truly versatile stamp set. Not only does the stamp set have great images (birds, flourishes, etc.) but a whole alphabet too!! While the colors featured in this kit are nothing short … Read more Fun with Felicity
True Friends
It’s that time again (well a few days late, but who’s counting?!?), time for a new Stamp of the Month. This month’s “True Friends” is truly perfecto. With frames, brackets and sentiments about friendship, you just can’t go wrong. Last night at my monthly stamp club we created this wonderful card using this set. (spoiler alert for you … Read more True Friends
A Gift for a Friend
Here is my second take at making tile coasters (this time I added a splash of color). I really loved how it turned out! I used our gorgeous Soul Mates Stamp set. I ended up making a total of 6 of them. Each month 3 of my friends and I get together for a Girls’ … Read more A Gift for a Friend
Love You Forever!
This *NEW* stamp set is just too stinkin’ cute. When I saw the new Spring Idea Book, this was the first stamp set I knew I had to have. I used the *NEW* Topstitch papers again (love ’em!) with this card. And while it was stepping out of my normal comfort zone, I did paper … Read more Love You Forever!
Happy 2010!
Tonight I got together with some friends to craft. We actually get together each month taking turns teaching each other different projects or techniques. Well, this month it was my turn 🙂 I thought what better way to start off the New Year than with a fabulous handmade dry erase board!?! The previous one I … Read more Happy 2010!
Before the New Year
and before you make your New Year Resolutions…make this dessert!! I haven’t made this in a couple years (not really sure why, just haven’t) but it is yum, yum, yummy!! Well, I guess if you like pumpkin it is 🙂 Now, I’ll admit, it’s not much to look at. But trust me…it’s delicious! GOOEY PUMPKIN … Read more Before the New Year
Playing with New Toys
Now that the hustle and bustle (and stress!) of Christmas is over, I’ve taken some time to finally play a bit more with some of the new products coming out next month. Here are a couple of projects I’ve made with the lovely new Topstitch papers. This little 3×3 card focuses on our new Soft … Read more Playing with New Toys
Reindeer Food – Our Christmas Tradition
Here is a Triangle Treat Container I made to put “Magical Reindeer Food” in for my children to spread out on the lawn tonight. A big thanks to my friend Candace for this wonderful tradition! At preschool, their teacher used oatmeal with red and green glitter. But for mine, I followed Candace’s advice and used … Read more Reindeer Food – Our Christmas Tradition
On the 11th Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me…Studio J access! Studio J is coming and boy is it FABULOUS! Since I attended CTMH’s Leadership Conference this past summer, I’m getting early access to this wonderful new scrapbooking tool. I created two 2-page layouts last night and it was super duper fast and easy. LOVE it! Here is … Read more On the 11th Day of Christmas…
On the 10th Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me…an Edge Distresser! Before this handy dandy tool, I used to use the blade of my micro-tip scissors for distressing the edges of my papers. While I still sometimes resort back to this old method, it is so much safer to use one of the 8 blades on this tool! … Read more On the 10th Day of Christmas…
On the 9th Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me…Framed-In Topcoats! These transparency-like overlays add a quick and unique look to your project in seconds. Simply use Liquid Glass to adhere them and you’re good to go. Here are a couple of examples from my Sweet Home Playgroup last month. (Sorry for the glare…no matter how I tried I kept … Read more On the 9th Day of Christmas…
On the 8th Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me…Soft Chalks! Now I’ll be honest…I hardly ever think to pull out my chalks and use them. But man, they sure can make for a really nice, soft look to a project! In my sample I used Autumn Soft Chalks to color in my adorable images from the April Stamp … Read more On the 8th Day of Christmas…
