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:):)

Hi everyone~this is the new color palette for this weeks challenge at The Play Date Cafe. I love these four colors together ~ gold, teal, mint and lavender :):). So, so pretty together!!!  I wasn't sure about throwing the lavender in the mix but it totally worked~

Here's what I came up with~

 

 

 

I used October Afternoon, Little Yellow Bicycle and Jenni Bowlin Studio {boy silhoutte stamp} to create my layout!!

 We would love to have you play along either with a card or layout, the main thing is to use the color palette for the challenge week. You can post your entry on the PDCC blog.

Texas Wild Flowers!

Here's a fun one!! I used stamps to make the back ground on the kraft cardstock and the frame around the Texas Blue Bonnet picture is made with a round stamp that says, "Made in Texas" . The layout says it all-"Only in Texas will you find this"!!! Have a good one and do something crafty.
Come back Friday ( the 14th) I'm in a blog hop - those are always fun!!!
