It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I have to say that for me the ones closest often get the brunt of me. They get me when my hair is not done. They get me when I am sweaty from the gym. They get me venting.Continue reading “Through the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly.”

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you that not re-inking is sometimes the answer. For this card I did not re-ink the stamp and just kept going until all the space was filled. It also helps that the background paper, Expressions in Ink, helped in the design. So which one do you likeContinue reading “Stamping off to create an entire card.”

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! I know in the past we have cut the Designer Series Paper in half to showcase the two sides of paper. Usually the seam has been covered by coordinating ribbon or even another scrap of paper from the same set.Continue reading “Cut it at a slant.”

It’s Technique Tuesday! I know it’s still a million degrees outside but I have hope that the Fall season is coming. Maybe to bring it a bit sooner we can all create projects with an autumn theme. Today’s technique is how to directly watercolor on to a block or stamp. In this case I usedContinue reading “Looking like fall.”

It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week! I am holding Open Day sessions. Come if you are working on a project, have questions about a product, pick up your new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure, or simply want to say hello. On Friday I will be at a new craft fair called Bazaart NightsContinue reading “Open Day, Craft Fair, and More!”

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week. I think I can safely say that most of you have a car. And I also think I can say that most of those cars have air conditioning in them. So let me ask you…if your air stopsContinue reading “Running out of air.”

Come see me TODAY at Landers’ Craft Fair from 10-2! I will have back to school favors, greeting cards, note pads, and more. Oh yes, and retired sets for less than half price. See you soon! Come see what’s new this week at Bazaart every Friday through September 3. If you would like to orderContinue reading “It’s Sale Saturday!”

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Sometimes you give back by buying lunch, returning a smile, or volunteering your time. And sometimes you give back with your time and donate cards. I recently got a message from Operation Gratitude needing cards. Please plan on stoppingContinue reading “And some days you need to create.”

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to create a card that uses the Be Dazzling 6X6 Specialty Paper. You will need a card base, mat, word die cuts, adhesive sheet, sparkly paper, spritzer, alcohol, and ink. And don’t forget the paper towels! First you fill the spritzer three quarters of theContinue reading “How to color that new paper.”

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Sometimes you have to go at a project from the back side. This specific one I stamped on vellum with Versamark Ink and then embossed with white powder on the front side. Then I grabbed some Stampin’ Blends (Freesia andContinue reading “Coloring from the back side.”
