Mistletoes and Quilting

Hey Stampers! As most of you know, school started for me again. Which means, that I have to slow down on all my hobbies. However, please know that I have not forgotten about you and will continue to post! My posts may be fewer and far between, but they will still be here. Here is a recent card I made using a fun quilting technique. Feel free to give this card a shot! Sorry for the blurry picture!!

I used Mistletoe Paper for this card.

Spider, OH MY!

Remember this little guy from last halloween? He is super easy to make! You just simply punch out a scallop and 8 little strips of paper. Crinkle the legs, adhere. Then, add some eyes! What we did last year was we added a Reeces Pieces to the inside and another scallop circle on the other side. They were cute! Try it out!

Dell Rapids Annual Scrapbooking and Vendor Fair

I apologize for not posting much lately. Have you noticed that it has been super busy around here? The Annual Scrapbooking Vendor Fair was this weekend and it was TONS of fun! We did a few vendors, 4 classes, and tons more. It was quite a bit of fun! We scrapbooked from 9am until midnight, and we had so much fun! Check out a few of the pictures:

Hooligans Joy Fold Card

September 1st is creeping up on us fastly! I wanted to show you the joy fold card that I created with the new Hooligans Paper that you as a customer will be able to purchase as of next Wednesday! If you take a look, I also created a little section of a scallop punch to put my corner of my top card corner in to hold it in place. That was my make-shift instead of using velcro to hold it shut.

Card Kits

As a Consultant, My job is to try all of our products so that I am able to give my customers and friends a very accurate description of the product as well as some tips to use it. Over time, I have found myself telling my dedicated crafters when it comes to the Cardmaking Kits, I havent honestly tried them. I can't believe I hadn't tried them sooner, but HONESTLY, they are amazing! I recently ordered 2 different kits, one that was a fabulous deal, and the other was not only a fabulous deal but it also was just in time for the holiday season that is creeping up on us! Take a peak at some of the artwork that I created using the Hello Birdie Card Kit and the Around the Holidays Circle Card Kit which you can order on my website!
