Septembers SOTM

This stamp of the month for Sept. is so versatile. You can make so many things with it from dinner invitations to birthday to wedding invitations. It is also great for adding that personal touch to a special card or layout you have made for someone special.

To get your very own SOTM just make a purchase of $50 and it's yours for only $5.00.

Here is a card I made for just an everyday type of celebration. I used the new paper pack Elementals.  Don't you just love this paper?

The card is 6x6 and the colors are sorbet and lagoon. I love the color combination with a little hint of creme brulee in the ribbon.

Here is a close up of the card. There is some dry embossing going on, but its a little hard to see in the photo. The card  is taken from the wishes book and it's called "Keep It Level". With this stamp set most everyone will think Invitations, but I wanted to show how you could do more that that with it.

Happy Crafting!

Convention Crop Project

This project was so cute and very messy with all the inking/distressing.

This year at convention they held a crop for the first time. I thought hmm do I want to go to the crop or do I want to go to Disneyland during this time? Well I went to the crop...I couldn't believe how many other consultants did too! It was packed!!! We received this packet full of fun things for this cute mini book. Do you see the alphabets...those aren't chipboard...those are CORK! Aren't they cool? What is great about this alphabet is that you can color them with your markers! When you do color them leave some air drying time so they don't smear...or if you are in a big hurry heat set them.
