You've just gotta love new template time as much as I do. This release is even sweeter than the last!
See you soon...
Happy Friday! After an afternoon of meet the teacher, a late diet soda and an order list that was complete (yeah!) yesterday I got out of bed last night and tip toed into my craft room...put on a movie that I have watched about a dozen times and pulled up my paper cutter and scrap bin. I was in heaven until much after midnight. Pulled out stamps I haven't used in months...maybe even years...ribbons and trims that often go overlooked and embellishments that I may not have used before. To sum up my evening it was incredibly relaxing and look forward to a few more evenings like this.
About a year ago I picked up these felt butterfly embellishments from Joann's thinking I would use them often...this is my first. Love this shade of pink with the white felt flower. I really could spend hours in that store...walking down each aisle no less than three times making sure I didn't miss something new or ignore an idea that may have popped in my head. I guess now that the kids will be in school full-time trips to Joann's will be like this once again.
Making this a quick post today as it is time to meet our teachers! There is a bit of excitement, mixed with sadness as we prepare supplies, clothes and get ready to send them off next Monday...ok, our school is a five minute walk so I am really not too far...still. This card was made for Paper Fashion Etc. Used cherry delights and garden bingo images. Loving the cherry delights sentiments...so cute!
If you click on over to Glue Arts today you will see this little fella. Created him using Paper Smooches stamps and oh boy are they so cute! To find a step by step guide to creating this tag and more hop on over today!
Counting our days down until the start of school and what better way to welcome that day but crafting! Just putting together a few felt apples for the teacher. Felt has become one of my favorite materials at the moment and always finding new ways to work with it. Below I have created a few embellishments, adding the hand stitching as I assembled them. Came across a stock pile of felt die cuts from Fancy Pants and went to work. 
The storm clouds are rolling in for the day, the kids are off quietly playing (doesn't happen too often) and the house is screaming for a little attention. See you back tomorrow for a Glue Arts project and then on Thursday for my Paper Fashions Etc. post!
I used a variety of RRR trims and ribbons (diamond satin, pink leaves, lace, and ric rac) to "keep it clean". The stamped images come from Paper Smooches...which are so adorable!
Thank you everyone who joined in and commented on my blog for the RRR blog hop. It is always so exciting reading each and every one! Have a wonderful day!
Ideas to make these tags...Between each tag, add a vintage recipe card for extra journaling. To the jar digital image, stamp something sweet...like a few strawberries. Finally, add the kitchen clatter sentiments to each tag.
I have always been in love with My Mind's Eye. So many colors and styles...making the possibilities endless. Just sharing this card with you today for their current challenge.
For a complete list of supplies, step by step photos and to see other amazing projects check out here blog! Also, check out the Pink Persimmon blog this week for some adorable baby projects.
Had fun with this challenge and always love using Papertrey Ink products. Used a large width, scrap piece of pink grossgrain ribbon to complete this challenge and a mix of pink markers. Off to get the day started. Have a couple of projects to share with you in the next few days, one being a tutorial for Pink Persimmon. I cannot seem to be functioning this morning and hope my energy kicks in soon...please.
It's Monday and just starting to put my week plans together...which really consists of staying in, cool and enjoying two more weeks of the kids being home for the summer. Our house is feeling the wear and could use a good cleaning...which is a bit of an understatement. Just popping in to share a project I did this weekend. Mini cards and a gift box. Loving the green gingham and jute ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Have an amazing day and start to your week. Bringing something fun before the week ends and hope you will come back to share!
August is a busy birthday month for us here. I think we have about five...all in a two week period. This present die cut comes from the Doodlecharms cartridge by Provo Craft for the Expression. Super cute and perfect of this week's challenge over on the Create blog. Love these challenges and all of the amazing cards! Hope you are having a great weekend! 
Here is my card using the lovely "stick couple"...well only half of the couple...

I used Oh Baby sentiment and bingo card (just the top portion) to create this framed picture. Hope your Thursday is fabulous. Tomorrow is a new release from Whimsie Doodles and will be back to share my project with you then as well. Until tomorrow...
Thinking fall and winter at this moment. Ready to start crafting fall and winter goodies and of course the holiday music has been playing in my house the past few weeks as I am working away. Hope it is cooler where you are today. Although I would love a little rain break I am not prepared if we were to get bucket loads poured on us via a tropical system...no thanks. Here's to looking forward to the coming seasons!
