Thanks again

First off today, talk about a wonderful blog. I often head over to Passion for Crafts by Debbie and she has a wonderful treat to share. The artwork Debbie does, is truly scrumptious and I love going over there to take a peak. So stop on by and give her some love.

Now onto some more artwork to share. Today I'm sharing a piece I created for Outlines Rubbers Stamps. I hadn't heard of these before I did some artwork for a manufacturer spotlight over at SNR. These stamps can be used for SO many things and I love that you can easily manipulate them. Here is the first one for you. I used the Inspiration Background stamp for this card and cut all the squares out, then fanned them to create a flower.



Hope you enjoyed the card and remember that I've got some blog candy to give away too. You can find the post here

Invitations class

Hi everyone and happy Sunday to you. Today I have a few projects that I did for a basic Grey class over at Scrapbook News and Review a while ago. I used the Eerie line, which I absolutely love love love. Such great colors and patterns.

These are great cards to use as invitations. Just switch things up to make it fit your needs. Let me know what you think and take a moment to wander down to SNR to take the class.

Enjoy

Hello everyone. Hope your Halloween was Spooktacular. It was great fun taking the children out for some trick or treating. We went as the spooky family. 2 witches, a vampire and a zombie lol.

Today I'm sharing with you a tag I created using my favorite cuttlebug folder and some Tim Holtz yumminess. Very different for me I think, but would love to hear your honest thoughts on it.


I used the following supplies to create the tag

7 Gypsies tag
distress ink
perfect pearls
Innovative Stamp Creations Stamp
7 gypsies stamps
swirls cuttlebug folder
big shot
mini mister
