Making Notepads From Scraps

If you're like me, you have a lot of left-over scraps of paper after you complete a project.  Here is a short video showing what I do with the scraps I have after I've made some envelopes with my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Board.  Enjoy!

Christmas in July and a Summer Sunflower

I jump-started my Christmas cards with this one.  The stamp is by Outlines, and I used Copic and Spectrum Noir markers to color it in.  The glitter is crystal, and it's made by Stampendous.

Here's a birthday card that I made for my sister using the sunflower dies from Spellbinders.  I inked the sunflower and leaf with inks by Stampin' Up (Tangerine Tango), Palette (Sunflower), and Hero Arts (Field Greens & Cup O' Joe).  I adhered the sunflower to the left panel of the gatefold card and the leaf to the right side.  The crystal glitter is by Stampendous, and the green is a very old one from Stampin' Up.  The paper is from a 6 x 6 pad by Die Cuts With a View.  I used gold and clear sequins in the center.

Thanks for looking, and Happy 4th of July!!

Coloring Fun

This week I had a play date with my BFF, and I played with my Zig Clean Color markers, Gelatos, and Copic markers.  (Actually, I played with the Copics last night.)  Here are the results:

I haven't added any "bling" to the images yet, but I really like the way they turned out.

Wink of Stella for Le$$

I love my Wink of Stella markers.  I really do.  But let's face it:  they're expensive.  Here's a quick video showing how I get the same shimmery look using my Sakura Gelly Roll pens, which cost a lot less.  Thanks for watching.  Please subscribe if you like this video, and stop by again soon.  Thanks!
