Fall Dining Room







There are no words to express how touched I am by all the sweet and encouraging emails and comments I have received over the last few days.  Wow.  I wish I could personally thank each of you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  :)

Sizzix Triple Circle Flip-Its Cards

Image
I thought I would show you some cards today made with  Sizzix's Triple Circle Flip-its die set , by Stephanie Barnard. I love all the Flip-its dies , especially with their wonderfully handy layer dies that they come with them, and this Triple Circle Flip-its is a lot of fun to decorate. This card was really easy to make into traffic lights, along with the Sizzix Framelits Dies & Stamp -Cars set. I decorated this card with stamps and dies from The Stamps of Life . This card was decorated with a Sizzix tag , and Sizzix stamp . And finally, I decorated this card with snowman elements from these stamps and die sets from The Stamps of Life, and the tag and sentiment stamps from this set . Some of the products used:

New Studio/Workshop Before and After

Image
Hey everybody!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends. I spent lots of time working on my new "studio" which is in the back of our new shop that we are currently designing.  It's so nice to have a warm place to make my bread boards now instead of using the gravel carport behind our house.  I know this is nothing that exciting but I wanted to show you how it looked before I worked on it.   In a word, gross.  This place use to be a taxidermy business so there was all kinds of this and that splattered on the walls and floor.  I'm not sure what it was and I really don't want to know either, I'm just happy it's gone now.  First thing I did was pull up the floor. Then I replaced it with parquet wood floor tiles.  Next, the ick splattered cabinets had to go.  I gave them a good cleaning and coat or two of Kilz, then, another three coats of Valspar Ultra White paint in semi gloss.  I'm thinking about adding...

Karen Burniston's February Designer Challenge Cutesy Character Pull Card

Image
Karen's challenge this month is to create either a 'Cutesy' or 'Artsy' card.  I've had the idea in the back of my mind to make a Pull Card with a few of the characters peeping out, so decided to try and make a full-blown character party card!  I used the Rectangle Pull Card die, with a bunch of balloons on the front flap. (I used the balloon from the Props 2 set, with the ears trimmed off.) I used the Happy Birthday from the Happy Birthday PopUp card, for the front, with letters from the Alphabet 1 - Caps set. Inside, I added four of the Pop it Ups characters , and a string of bunting, plus some gifts (with bows from the Evergreen Pivot Card set.) The party hat and party blower are also from the Props 2 set. Most of the papers are from basic Grey's Fresh Cuts Collection 6x6 pad, and We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard 6x6 pad.  I used two of the spinner pieces (that comes in the Rectangle Pull Card set), behind Buster the Dog and Honey the Bear, so that they ...
