Try It Tuesday~Hobby Lobby Magazine!

Hi guys!!!

For Try It Tuesday I'm going to share some projects that were published in Stamping*Stationery*And Scrapbooking (Hobby Lobby magazine) for the 2nd quarter 2014.

.

First Project I did for my mom!!!!

All of the product supplies are purchased from Hobby Lobby.  The paper used on both 

of these projects are by Paper Studio which is the Hobby Lobby brand:)

******************************

I have  received a letter from the editor and the magazine will be published  for one more quarter, which will be July 1st and that will be the last issue.  I have been with them for 3 years.  I have seen the magazine going in a different direction for sometime.  Many more advertisements than submissions by crafters/artists.  I hated to see that, so I'm  not surprised by this move.  The letter said they would doing other things to promote the products that they sale.

So another one gone~

See ya soon~

Try It Tuesday~wine bottle corks!

Hi guys!!!

I can't say I have collected these wine corks, I can't say I have saved that many from drinking the wine:):) but I can say I bought them, and not a junkin' buy either.  

Would you believe Hobby Lobby? Yes I found them there and couldn't wait to create with them.

I made some little stamps from them.  Not an original idea but fun!!!

I started with some text bubbles from Studio Calico ( just using what I have) and hot glued one to the bottom of a cork.  I pressed it down on the counter, so as the glue cooled it would adhere flat.

 I tried them out~

They worked great, just make sure you are stamping on a flat surface.  I put my cards on a board and then stamped.

So many ideas on how to make these.  You could use foam to cut out a fun shape. These would be great to make with children too.  Let me know if you make some:):)

This is a new take on 4th of July~using black and red instead of blue and red.  The paper is Paper Studio and was submitted to the Hobby Lobby magazine but was not picked up. The re-production ephemera is by 7gypsies.

My birthday LO~

 

Hi guys !!! This is a layout I did for Hobby Lobby and it was requested for publication!!! I was so excited and then so let down when I got my magazine and this layout was not in there!! Ugh~

The layout is pretty simple but I loved how I used the card hubby gave me, in the design, and was able to hide the journaling on the back of the tags that held the photos { he made dinner, too} XOXOXO

 

I'm so not deserving but loved the special attention!!!  The paper is by Paper Studio !!!

One more thing~do you see the roses, yes roses too!!!
