gift workshop projects

Ok well, here are all the projects we will be offering for our Holiday Gift Workshop on December 2nd! Only $40 and you can make all these beautiful creations to give away as gifts or keep for yourself!
First is the stamped candle, I know, you saw this already but here it is again! With it are a covered matchbox and coaster.
Next is an a multi-purpose box. I say multi-purpose because it can fit a gift card, jewelry, set of greeting cards (4/14 X 5 1/2) or any other small item. This is a side view...

And a view of the top! Don't ya love this snowman! You can't tell from the picture but it is very sparkly...
Next is a set of 4 tile coasters. This snowglobe set is awesome! There is cork on the back too so you won't ruin any tabletops!

And finally, an ornament and matching envelope so you can even mail this one! Can you believe this guy used to be a regular ol' CD?! PS Also sparkly, darn camera...
So, that's it! I hope to get a lot of you to come out on December 2nd for this fun workshop! No experience or supplies necessary! Please e-mail or call for more info...

contest entry

I forgot to post this last week...it is my entry for the BBTB contest to make a card and envelope set for a child using at least one Cricut cartridge. I used Cheristmas cheer for the card and envie and the gift and I used George for the number 4. Crossing my fingers for a win, DD would love her own die cut machine!

sneak peek!

Here is a sneak peek at one of the projects we will make at our Holiday Gift workshop on December 2nd! I was so excited about how these little babies turned out! Call today and reserve your spot. Maybe I will post the other 3 projects soon.....hmmmm, maybe!

Bitten by the Bug week 2

Here is the link to the latest Bitten by the Bug challenge and my entry! I am so excited to be a guest designer this month!

Here is my actual entry again...

Now I only wish I had a bridal shower to go to! Don't forget about the great contest they are having on BBTB...you could win a new CuttleKIDS machine! TFL!

yikes!

Ok, so I know it's been a loooong time since I posted last but I was working on revamping some things....ok ok, I just didn't have anything to post! Well, in my defense, we painted literally every room in my house in a week and a half so it's not like I was sitting her doing nothing! I'm also off for another round of pain injections this weekend...but....

GOOD NEWS!

I was chosen to be a Guest Designer on one of my favorite blogs...Bitten by the Bug. It's a blog dedicated to the Cricut and all it's little family members! Check out the site for an awesome contest to win a Cuttlekids machine! Yes, it is a die cut machine for kids! How cute! You so need to add this blog to your daily haunts...Regina has such an awesome gallery and design team!
The first challenge I participated in was to use the George cartridge to make this Monogram card. I finally got to use some of my newest Basic Grey paper (Perhaps) and went for a simple look. Added SU Purely Pomegranate CS, true thyme, WW, some purplish mesh, primas, eyelets and VIOLA!

We'll be having a Stamp a Stack on October 19th, so I promise to post those up here soon. And of course, I am a guest designer for the month so I'll be getting a new challenge every week...I soooo can't wait to show you! Thanks for looking everyone! XOXO

Help for Faith (Markie'sMom)

My VSN friend Faith on SCS was having trouble posting a link for her tutorial so I figured I'd try to post it here and see if people could view it at all...who knows if it will work but we'l give it a try...
Here is her link with pictures

and directions but without pictures...

"I developed this technique about 10 years ago. I had wanted an NON-uniform look of mottled color and got this effect! Wow!This technique is very easy. You will need:5-10 sheets of Glossy Card StockSpray bottle of WATERReinkers (I used Tempting Turquoise and Close to Cocoa)Newspapers or covering for your work arearubber gloves (until you get the hang of this...!)First, SPRAY the "Base Sheet" with water.Next INK by dribbling reinkers onto the sheet..Next, SPRAY a "pressing sheet" with water.Then, SMASH the pressing sheet onto the base sheet.Use PRESSURE!Pull the sheets apart and start again with a NEW pressing sheet.SPRAY the new pressing sheet and Smash it onto the base sheet.You can do this up to 10 times and get variations on the colors. This makes AWESOME background paper!"
