I LOVE GRAPHIC 45 PAPER!

So as it goes here in the North East we have snow again. We have been very lucky and missed most of it. But last night it hit with a bang. As I was watching Pat out the window plowing, I turned to my left and there in my paper stacks was a pretty paper sticking out from Graphic 45. And oh the thoughts that went from one side of my snow filled brain to the other. Then it hit me, lets make a little wearable from this pretty paper and so I did. I went to my trusty stack of washers and pulled out the perfect size for the clock that I had my eye on in the center of the paper. It all was down hill from there. I punched, cut, burnished, glued, dried and finished off with a layer or two of Diamond Glaze. And there you go, this pretty paper will be around my neck or should I say around Morgans because she already has her eye on it.

So that is part of my paper mission this year. Add all of these beautiful papers into my everyday life. I love creating new and fun projects like this, don't you!

NEW FLY RIGHT IN KIT IS ALMOST READY TO GO!

Oh my, when I ran into this set of paper while ordering a few weeks ago I totally fell in love. The colors are so wonderful and can be used in so many ways. Here is a sneak peek at my next kit set coming out this week. I started the cover of my kit using this great little combo of items from the kit. I love have dimension on the fronts of my mini albums. The lolly made with the antique book pages really gives the dimension that I am looking for. I still can't decide between the words family or home on mine. It will happen here soon.

Above is the paper set that you will get in the kit with tons of goodies to create your own quick, easy and fabulous mini kit. Stay tuned for the video as well as the kit being posted on my sites!

Mrs. Petersons Special Valentine

Mrs. Peterson is Logan's K-Teacher. She is wonderful. Everything you would want in a 5 year old's teacher from being nice to teaching the kids how to get along. So Logan looks at me with those big eyes and says..."can you make Mrs. Peterson one of your cards?" How could I say no?

So I have been having a ball with the streamers but didn't have the right color. Now if my Glimmer Mist had arrived by now I would have just sprayed white to the color I needed. But it is not here yet. So I folded pink inside of white and it gave me a soft color once I folded it. I punched a butterfly out of these wonderful K & Co. papers and turned it over. I bent the wings and glued down only the body so it looked like it was coming right off the page. There where some little left overs from me trimming the streamers so I tucked those under the heart. Added a little gold metallic ink around the edges and there you are the cute little Valentine that I know he can hand her with pride. I love creating things!

WHOOOO LOVES YOU LIKE I DO CARD

Well Noah is home sick today so I finally got this cute little owl finished. I love owls but I didn't have a big enough one for this 6 x 6 card so I made my own from this and that. This was so easy. For instance, the feet, beak and ears are all made from a heart punch. The red scalloped area behind the main part of the body was made from two oval scalloped punches. The eyes are just various size layered punches and all edged with ink pad. For the white ruffle ares along bottom, that is a piece of crate paper(streamers) taped with double side tape and folded back and forth. The little frame stands out with foam dots and I think it all goes together pretty well.

So what do you think? I think you could change from these beautiful Cosmo Cricket papers to any other color line to make this card fit for so many occasions. Just change the wording and you are all set. A little layered paper can go a long way!

Getting Ready for The Big Sweet 16 Is A Full Time Job!

Well the race is on. Morgan is having a big 16th Birthday Party here this spring. We are both so excited. She is my oldest and only girl so we need to make it so beautiful for her. I started these pinwheels. They are so easy to make and what a great way to pull all of the the colors together. And lets face it, I have plenty of paper to make 1000 of these puppy's. Now these start out as a 6 x 6 square of paper. I am also working on 12 x 12 to hang along the banner. Mo and I already have a enormous folder of ideas from food to decorations and it is oh so exciting!
