Colorful Seasons Tutorial

Posted on by

Summer is ending with this holiday weekend and you can already feel the cool morning air here in the North Georgia Mountains. The fall leaves will be falling turning and falling soon, but mean while I’m going to enjoy one last hurrah in the pool since the rain is suppose to clear out and we should have a beautiful holiday on Monday with the kids.

Today’s card is one I made using a fun Clear Block Technique with Stampin’ Spritzers. Check out my Tutorial for it below. I really love this Bundle of products and that fact that it has a coordinating suite of products – I just love creating with it and can’t wait to try out some fall cards now too!

Seaside Shore

Posted on by

The other day I ran across some wonderful cards that I set aside to share with you and totally lost track of. Do you ever do that? I always think I’ll put it someplace safe so I’ll remember, but then I can’t find it! Sigh.

The good news is I found them now, so I’ll be sharing these and other wonderful cards that I’ve received in swaps over the next few weeks.

Today’s cards use the Seaside Shore stamp set found on page 93 of the Annual Catalog. It’s filled with wonderful bold images and a fun sentiment too. Perfect as we head into the warmer months.

This first card  was done in classic Black & White and includes lots of texture. I’ve included the supply list for you below.

And how about another monochromatic card done in Bermuda Bay – so bright and vibrant!

And here is another card Sandy gave me in a different swap using the set. It is a fancy fold – I really like the way she used the patterns to show off the stamped images.

Sandy made 3 cards with totally different looks using the same set – don’t you love that?

Anna made this wonderful birthday card using the Stylized Birthday (141828) as it’s focal point.

And my final card was given to me by Mary. I love the way she used Butterfly Basics (13881/138816/137154) image for the background netting. How cool is that?

Consignment Sale ends tomorrow

As I mentioned earlier in the week our Spring Consignment Sale ends tomorrow with 1/2 price day. There are still some wonderful deals – so why not stop on in between 9 and 2 tomorrow?

Fun & Flirty Flip Flops

Posted on by

What says summer more than a new pair of flip flops? Today’s card uses our fun bold Designer Series Paper, Festive Birthday to create these fun cactus flip flops.

I’ve had several of you ask me how I created these when you saw my shoe box card HERE.

So I thought I’ve put together a video tutorial on how they are made. And I included some tips to make things easier.

Want the pattern? Well I’ve made one up just for you!

So, what kind of flip flops do you like? Plain, bright and colorful, or wild patterns? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

What’s Happening Here?

On a personal note I thought I’d share with you what is happening with all this wood my son, Johnathan and I  brought home on June 20th. (Click HERE to see that post).

June 20 2016 wood for classroom

I’m excited to say my guys are making great progress on the project… my classroom!

June 2016 Classroom storage (4)

Johnathan is always happy playing with his “toys” in the garage. (He built his garage cabinetry that you see in the background over his winter break.)

Over the weekend they finished the 12 x 12 paper storage unit.

and the base cabinet too! Wow that was fast!!!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to get painting! And you know how I dislike painting. LOL!!!

Right now, I’m trying to decide a new paint color for the classroom walls. After all, with this great cabinetry going in I need a new coat of paint, right?

I’ve got it narrowed down to two choices at this point.

classroom paint swatches

A more bold one and a safe one. I’m trying to decide how crazy I want to be LOL!!! Pool Party or Sahara Sand ???? Hmmm…. what do you think? I’ve changed my mind so many times already, but these are the two I keep coming back to since I love the Island Indigo display item I already have.

What color would you choose?
