Embellished

        Hello!! I hope you’re all having a great week! So sorry it’s taken so long to post anything new! We’ve been busy cleaning, organizing, and everything else that goes along with trying to sell our house. It’s proving to be quite the project! lol. It’s amazing how much we had that we had just forgotten about! If you’ve ordered from me, please know that it may take a day or two to get it out to you! I am doing them as fast as I can!

 I just love this sentiment from Inkadinkado. I always get Willie Nelson’s “Blue Skies” in my head when I see it. Gee…no wonder why I like it! I thought it might be fun to do something different, and fold the paper to be pleated? Is that what you’d call it!? Anyway, I used the Veranda and Pear Blossom Designer Paper from Websters Pages! I used Julia’s slot punch idea for the scallops! To get the folds, I just scored the paper every half inch? or so! Very simple, but I do like the way it turned out! Ihope you enjoy it!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! HUGS!!!

Hello! Hope you are having a great weekend! I am so excited to share another product Spotlight with you! This time I wanted to highlight Websters Pages Christmas lines, Ting-a-Ling and Winter Wonderland!! I also wanted to spotlight my designers and friends Trudee, Michele, Julia, Sherry and Jeanne! Click on their names to see what they did with the Websters Pages paper too! Thanks ladies!!

——

All Websters Pages paper is designed by the very talented Terri Conrad. The newer lines (including the Christmas) is double sided.  From the second I laid eyes on it, I was in love! lol. Michele, Trudee and I saw them at the Summer Trade show and literally stood there going “OMGOSH look at this, look at THIS!!…WOW!!!” lol!!! Really though, I could use this paper on every project I do! They have matching Rubon’s too! Another fav. of mine from Websters Pages is the Silver Snowflake Dufex Paper. This paper is thick and SUPER shiny! I Just love it! The thickness is similar to the Brushed Metallic Stampin’ Up! papers.

——

For my card, I used the Sleigh Bell and Ribbon Candy Paper. I paired it with my Lizzie Anne Designs Santa! The little postage looking thing that I cliped on came from the matching Websters rubon’s I talked about above! When I was done with this card I sprayed it with my Pearl Glimmer mist! It’s so pretty! I know you can’t tell from the picture, but my whole card looks like it’s the “Shimmery white” cardstock from Stampin’ Up!) Santa has lots of Frosted Lace stickles on him too!

——

Thank you so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful day!! Make sure to stop by tomorrow to see the winner of the contest!! HUGS!

——

WOW!!! This week FLEW by! I hope you all have fun plans for the weekend!! I wanted to share this SUPER quick and easy card I made with my Me and My big Ideas Rubon’s and jewels! These are the Retreat rubon’s! I love the bold images and the bright colors! The jewels are the Hibiscus colored ones. They are so easy to use, just peel them off and stick them on! The hardware is from We R Memory Keepers and ribbon from May Arts!

——

Hello!!! So sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted! I’ve been crazy busy this week, but hopefully I am back to my normal pace! I made this card last night using my darling new Lizzie Anne Designs snowman stamp. It’s so cute! I knew RIGHT AWAY that I had to pair it with the darling snowman paper from Figgy Pudding!! It was SOOOO hard to use it though, I hated to cut them up! lol! It’s really hard to tell, but I used my Daisy D stitches at the bottom too!

 ——

Hello!! Hope you all had a great weekend! I was a guest hostess last Saturday night for the Virtual Scrapbooking Night on Splitcoaststampers! I have to admit..I was freaked out when I was asked. I haven’t made more than 3 pages in years! I have really good intentions, but cards just take over. I thought at first I’d try to think of something really fun or different to use. Then I though, hmm…I may just want to make a page and see what happens! lol. We had taken these darling pictures in the leaves 2 weekends ago so I immediatly thought FELT! I wanted to use my new Queen and Company felt! So I did!

——

I really had a blast pulling my Creative Memories circle cutters back out! I also used my new Inkadinkado Maple Leaf Stamp! Brett kept calling this his Leaf Blanket..so dang cute!  I hope you enjoy! I really had a fun time making this! Thank you so much for stopping by!! Hugs!!

Hello!!! Happy Saturday!! Hope you all have a great weekend!! It’s time for my friends Trudee, Michele and Julia to do another Take 2!! I love doing challenges with them!! We decided to use our new Cosmo Cricket Hey Sugar paper and any Flower stamps! I used my new Garden Variety clear set by Inkadinkado! I just love it!! I cannot wait to see what they did!

——

 What I LOVE about this paper (besides the fact it’s my beloved Cosmo) is that the back of this paper is just as pretty as the “front”! It’s just gorgeous! I colored the poppy’s in Regal Rose and Sage Shadow. I masked the two, then cut the third one out and stuck it on with pop up glue dots to give it dimension. When I was finished I thought the card needed “more” so I added the little stitches on the sides! I hope you enjoy!!

——

Hello!!! It’s that time again! Another Showdown with my friend Anna!!! We thought it would be fun to try to make an Autumny stamp look a little country! I sure hope I did! Lol. I absolutely LOVE this Cornucopia by Inkadinkado! One of those I’ve wanted to buy 17 millions times at the store but finally got it about a month ago, so I was super excited to use it! For the paisley background, I stamped it in chocolate onto Creamy Caramel. Make sure to hop on over to ANNA’S to see her fantastic card!! I just love doing these showdowns with her!

Hope you all had a great Halloween! We had a great time! Brett ( my oldest ) even had fun handing out the candy when we came in! He kept looking out the window saying ” MOM!, DAD!, CUSTOMERS!!” lol!!!! SO cute! Here’s a picture of all of us. It’s the ONLY one ever of both the boys looking the same way lol. Austin wouldn’t wear his Donald Head and Brett wouldn’t wear his hat or goggles…oh well lol.
