Hi Everyone!!!!! OK so last night Tim was doing his laundry and the fabric softener fell on the floor and after I picked it up I thought hey I wonder if this would be a good exhaust for my card..and yes it is!!! I was so excited because I don't copy anyone's cards and so I hadn't seen this around blog land but I figure someone already came up with the idea but for today it's my idea LOL!

Hi Everyone!!!! I haven't blogged since July 9th..that's crazy but I will tell you what happened..I got a little overwhelmed with everything! swaps and gutting my house..just life and I kind of shut down and buried my head in the sand. I will be back to blogging asap, since I just got back from convention and I'm inspired to create again..I want to show you the swaps I made to swap with my team but my flight had other plans for me so I never made it on time. I was bummed and I wasn't comfortable swapping with other people so I kind of brought them home..O well! ..what do you think though? this stamp set is by far my favorite..can you tell haha..here's the ingredients: Perfect Blend #131392 Early Espresso #119686 Soho Subway #130140 Crisp Cantaloupe #131298 Antique Brads #117273 Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons #127555 1 3/4 Scallop Circle #119854 Square Lattice #119976 Have an awesome day!

Hi Everyone!!!!! I found this cute tutorial on YouTube yesterday on how to make this tissue box! isn't it adorable!? love it!!!! Last night I made two very simple cards to share.

Hi Everyone!!! I am super happy with how this card turned out! this is card #4 for my CC ..I used the wax paper resist technique. My class hasn't had an opportunity to use the Swallowtail stamp yet ..O I can't wait till they get to, that's for sure..I made 2 samples for them just to show that they can use whatever color combo they want the day of class. I also used 2 different sentiments, they can pick which one they want because this card is so versatile that it's whatever their heart desires :) ...I also used two rhinestones to give it some pretty bling . I felt that with the technique and the colors it really didn't need more than this. I hope they like it as much as I do..have an awesome 4th! be safe and eat a lot of yummy food :) here's the ingredients: Pacific Point # 126951 Gumball Green # 126861 So Saffron # 126957 Tangerine Tango # 126946 Rhinestone Jewels # 119246 Basic Black cardstock #121045 Teeny Tiny Wishes # 127802 Swallowtail # 129216 Thank You!!!
