Guess what? I've got some of my projects in the Dinotalk Scrapbook Invitational contest. Could you take a moment and vote for me or one of the other participants? We are competing to win $100 gift card for us and $100 gift card for the charity of our choice. Many of you know that my oldest son has autism. If I win, I would donate my prize to the Autism Family Network. It is an organization that provides support and help to families and friends of people with autism. I can't tell ... more » -
Do you live in a place that celebrates May Day? In our neck of the woods, we make May baskets. They are small and usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someone's doorstep. The kids love ringing the doorbell and running away. Here are some of the projects we've made in the past few years. This was one of my favorite May Day projects. We made a cone out of scrapbook paper and filled it with pixie sticks. We made the pixie sticks look like flowers by adding some punched sca... more » -
A couple of years ago today, we had a play date at my house and I let the kids go wild making beads out of my junk mail. You can use different materials to make these beads as fancy as you'd like. We used some glossy paper that I had on hand. Think about using scrapbook paper rolled up and finished with a clear lacquer and then mixed with glass beads for a funky bracelet or bookmark. Maybe I should try that... Supplies: junk mail (magazine paper, brochures, etc...) toothpicks (we cou... more » -
We had a big birthday weekend. My daughter celebrated her 5th birthday. My baby. She also lost her first tooth. I'm getting some major cosmic hints that my little girl is growing up. Thanks! I get it! Way to rub it in! For her special day I wanted to make her a special card. She loves pink and sparkles (who doesn't?). I used my Cricut Wild Card cartridge to make the card and matching envelope. The designer paper was some that we had on hand when I was doing the demos... more » -
Today is my last day doing Cricut demos. I'll miss hanging out with my crafty friends and cutting stuff out on the Cricut for hours and hours a day. I won't miss the being on my feet, lugging boxes, and Costco snack bar. Over the next couple of days I'm going to show you some of the cool things I've been making. The first day I focused on making these nesting dolls using the Paisley cartridge. That cartridge has a whimsical style and involves a lot of layering. I don't mind layering... more » -
Here is a little coupon book that I made for my husband three years ago for Valentine's Day. I used a few different Stampin' Up sets to make it. I'm pretty sure they are all retired now but I'm posting this now more for the idea and less for you wanting to make an exact replica. The inside used the Create a Coupon stamp set. Each coupon has a perforation on the inside edge for easy removal. I did that using the perforation tool from the Stampin' Up cutter kit. I layered the ... more » -
Punched paper flowers were all around at CHA Winter this year. Almost every paper, punch, and scrapbooking booth had some on display. The flowers shown in the picture above were made using Punch Bunch paper punches. I love all the detail you can get in a flower using just a few different paper punches. This last picture reminded me of the hanging bouquet I made for my daughter. I may need to do another one using paper flowers! It would certainly be less expensive. ... more » -
I've given you a few sneak peaks of the projects I completed for the Dinotalk booth at CHA. Now it's time to reveal all. I altered a total of four products. All of the products come "naked". They are blank canvases ready for embellishment. Each product also has a recordable device so you can put your own audio message inside. I think my favorite one was the frame. I love how it turned out. I might be a little swayed by the fact that I used an actual picture of my family inside.... more » -
Here's another peak at one of the products I made for the Dinotalk booth at the CHA trade show. The trade show portion begins today and my samples will be on display for all to see. I will be heading over there first thing to check out their booth and snap some pictures. Today is the day where I will be running around like a crazy woman trying to report on all the cool new things that will be coming to a craft store near you. I've also got an interview set up with Kathy Ireland this... more » -
When I was demoing the Cricut last week in Michigan, I made some Christmas cards for demos. We had the Winter Woodland cartridge and it was the first time I had the chance to use it. For the Warm Winter Wishes card I used the Winter Woodland cartridge exclusively. This cards looks really cool in person. I used Winter Woodland and Storybook. I put glossy accents on the corner swirls. You also can't really tell from the picture but the paper is sparkly. This is an in-progress ph... more »
