It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Most of the time I am talking about what to do for others. But I want to remind you that if you don’t take care of yourself there won’t be the energy needed for others. Don’t go overboard but do make sure to not run yourself ragged.
What is your favorite way of taking care of yourself?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today is the day we take an alternative look to embossing. For this project you will want to have multiple colors of embossing powders and/or papers. The silver foil paper, copper embossing powder, and clear embossing powder were used.
For a video on how this is done please go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R2dJF-AHO8.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you ever notice the line on the newer embossing folders? This is so you can line up your card stock and make it straight. If you have older folders you might consider grabbing a sharpie and a ruler. This line has been so helpful to me.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! As you know our supplier for the 3D Embossing Folders has changed. With that comes a slightly different thickness. So you can either figure out how many pieces of card stock to shim under or you can purchase the new embossing plate.
Join me tomorrow night as I create with this new plate.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest and re-charge. Sometimes not only do you need to rest your physical body but sometimes you need to rest your mind as well. So for today I am resting all aspects and getting back to running on all cylinders.
What are your tips to re-gaining strength and sanity?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to give back or pay it forward. Have you ever walked into a room and just wanted to be near a certain person? You may not have even known the person but there was just something about them that made you have to get to know him or her.
I have a couple friends with personalities similar to the above mentioned. I find myself not wanting to go more than a day or two without talking to him or her. For me one friend just makes me feel good and another challenges me to tackle the day. Either way with either person I am motivated to be better.
Do you have someone you couldn’t live without? What makes them so special to you? How do they help you to become a better person.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I am playing with the new Daisy Lane Bundle. One card has plenty of texture and looks like a masterpiece with the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. The other is a little more abstract with its black and white composure.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Do you ever wish you could have all of your crafty items out just so you can see them? It’s easier to figure out what to create when you can see everything.
So here’s an idea for you. What if you purchased an additional catalog from me ($5) for the sole purpose of cutting it up? When you purchase an item you would cut it out of your additional catalog and place the cut out in a binder. Then when you went to create you could see everything that you have without having everything out.
Happy Crafting!
