Using up scraps




I always try really hard to use up as much of my paper as I can. That helps justify me buying more! Lol! So in the spirit of purging, I tried to use up the last of my Bella paper while scrapping over at Nona's last week. I used one of my most loved and used stamp set, Treasure Life as well as the Sept. SOTM, Treasures. (ha ha! "Treasure Life" and "Treasures"! how funny!) Since some of my pieces are small and random, some of the layouts are repetitive and sometimes a little odd. Case in point: The last card; not my favorite. I'm selling these at work for Breast Cancer.
Anyways, hope you like them. I'll be posting more tomorrow.
Materials: All CTMH. Bella L2pp, Treasure Life ss, Treasures ss, Card Commentary ss, chocolate, pansy purple, and hollyhock inks, creme brulee ribbon round collection, sanding kit, sponge.

Craft Fair make & take




Sorry for the delayed post. My crazy busy weekend is finally over!
So here is what I made for all the guests at the Scrapbook day craft fair last Saturday. I wanted to make something fall-y and the CTMH Grace paper along with the Flourished Blessings stamp set made a perfect combo. I taught them a couple of techniques with this. The main one teaching them how to convert a standard A2 envelope into a square one to perfectly fit their 4x4 card. I learned this cool trick from my bloggin friend Rachel. (her tutorial is buried somewhere in her blog; couldn't find it, sorry) Such a simple technique. A little liquid glass to add some shine, which was a huge hit.


I had lots of fun meeting new people. So much so that the six hours just FLEW by!


Materials: All CTMH. Grace L2pp; Flourished Blessings ss; Holiday Commentary ss; chocolate, goldrush, and honey inks; liquid glass; copper bitty brads; edge distresser; sponge; 3d dots; corner rounder. Other: Standard A2 envelope.

I {heart} candy corn


....the real and not-so-real kinds! This little candy corn border stamp is so cute! Still haven't figured out what exactly is the face in the main image though. Maybe a cat? What's your take?
Off to go play at Nona's tonight with the all the crafty girls!
