Avocado Arts ~ guest designer!!!!

Hi everyone ~ I'm so excited to be working with Avocado Arts!!!! Their stamps are adorable and have the cutest graphics!!!The name of this set is Perfect Blend and it was perfect!!!!  The stamps preformed awesome, clear and easy.  That is a perfect stamp to me!!!



The stamps are so fun and the detail is fabulous!!!  They thought of everything!!!

On this layout I used Jenni Bowlin Studio { Magpie }, the coffee paper was a perfect blend:):)

This was a quick but cute project. The stamps were perfect to embellish a coffee sleeve with.  Not only do they give you the cup but a tumbler as well!!!

This is what the set look like~

Super cute!!!!! Be sure and check out the store~tons of super cute stamp sets!!!! They also have digital cut outs for the electronic cutters~check it out HERE!!!!

I have  some awesome, exciting {several}bits of news and I will share when I get the thumbs up!!!



Cards and a book to hold them~

 

This is a project I did in Florida {Collins Group Convention}:) I just got it finished in time to give it to my mom!!!  The class was taught by Joey Otlo with Bazzill Basics.  It is a  card holder book, has pockets in it to hold cards for each month. 

 

These are the cards that I made to put in the pockets, in the book.  The first one is a pop up card using the pop up die by Sizzix and the designer Karen Burniston.

 

This is how the inside looks with the pockets pages and the print out so you can add your occasion dates that you want to send cards on {or to}. These are Christmas cards but the idea can be tweaked with All Occasion or Birthday cards.

 

See ya soon!!!!

 

 

 

Merry Christmas with Vintage Street Market~

 

Hi everyone~this is my work for Vintage Street Market this month!! I used one of the vintage fusion kits {which I love}~mixing old with new. Fabulous idea!!!

 

The papers are by Jenni Bowlin and Making Memories.  Great pairing of these two papers.

 

these are gift tags made from My Mind Eye paper. I added some brads and put them on a binder ring.  Some Twirly Twine made them ready to use as a gift!!!

 

This post will run on Dec. 25th on Vintage Street Market. I don't have the direct link { pre-setting blog} but you will see it.  All the details will be there in the post.  Have a wonderful day~yes, It's Christmas Day!!!!

Merry Christmas~well almost!!!

Hey everyone~trying to squeeze a few more Christmas projects in before Christmas:):):).
I made the trees out of JBS Wren paper and the went by the tutorial on Tim Holtz's blog.  Very cool and so fun.  I did three this year and next year I will make some more ~ soon I will have a forest of trees:):) kinda think that would be way cool!!! 

  You can see the original blog post HERE on the JBS Inspiration blog.

The Play Date Cafe #162 ~JBS sponsor!!!

 

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.

Our sponsor for this challenge is~
