Hello Lovely

I mentioned earlier that I applied to be a convention project display stamper. I was so excited to be accepted.  Applying to stamp for convention was really outside of my comfort zone and I struggled to create samples at first. I was saddled with my former preconceived notion of what was "good enough".  In the end, I decided to bag the pressure and just made projects I like, which was so liberating.

I was asked to create samples from four stamp sets. The first set I'll feature is the "Hello Lovely" set.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog and I had a great time coming up with ideas on how to use it.  Endless possibilities, perfect for cards, pages and gift items.  LOVE it.

Here are a few of the samples I made (two photos for each,  full shot and a close up).











Card Club - May

I have a little catching up to do. I've been meaning to post our May card club projects for about two weeks.

Here are the photos of May club projects.  We mostly used product from the Mini catalog.  Swallowtail butterfly card is not as pretty in the photo as it is in real life...

Email me if you want a list of supplies or directions.




I heart projects





I really should have posted this back in February when I made this but better late than never.

Again, inspired by a Paula project (which she kind of cased from the SU catalog) I set to work to copy and made this heart.
1. I gathered up all things pink and red in my craft room.
2. Started to make all sorts of little embellishments.
3. I cut out a piece of chipboard in the heart shape I wanted.
4. Set to work arranging...   After I was pleased with the arrangement I hot glued down to to the chipboard heart.
5. pinned to cork board frame.

I took this project to my February card club because I found it showcased paper and embellishments in a different way.  Fun stuff.
