Thank You Nancy


This card was inspired by Nancy's beautiful cards. I just bought a new circle cutter. It's fun, I've wanted one for quite some time now. Thank you Michael's & your 50% off coupon : )

I had a helper today!





I made this card in about 5 minutes. It's funky and fun. I used a small piece of scrap paper I had laying in my scrap bin. I had a little helper today... Max, one of my furry friends. He likes to lay on my table and watch me scrap, usually falling asleep (I must be boring to watch lol I take too long to make a decision). I have a question... does anyone have any tips on how to attach vellum with glue? I usually use brads or eyelets... but I'm not sure of a product I can use to attach it without being able to see the glue... any tips?




My Mind's Eye Seasonal Block Kit







I bought this at Hobby Lobby in the clearance section for $11.99 (originally $20). It was a lot of fun to make, and super easy.

Cute Pocket Card



This is a pocket card I made yesterday. I haven't stamped anything on the insert yet, I'm not sure who I'm going to send it to just yet. Once I figure it out I will add a stamp : )

New Ribbon Storage


I wish I could take credit for this idea, but I can't... I got it from Nicole Heady's type pad blog. She has lots of inspiration for organizing (not to mention her beautiful cards & layouts). I absolutely LOVE this idea! I used to have my ribbon on dowel rods inside a photo storage box, it was nice, but my collection just wouldn't fit anymore. This is wonderful. I bought the glass penny candy jars at Walmart (for about $6 each) and got the wooden clothes pins at a Dollar Tree by my house. I bought 2 jars to begin with (one for light colors & one for dark colors). I wound the ribbon around the cloths pins and secured with a straight pin. I think they look pretty and nice and organized.
