How to get a vintage look.

It’s Technique Tuesday! There is an easy way to get a whitewash vintage look. Grab your white craft ink refill, an aqua painter, and a silicone mat.

Retail therapy.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today’s the day to take to rest and re-charge. Since it is Father’s Day it is hubby’s choice on what to do. So it looks like we are driving down the hill to do a little bit of shopping (new flip flops for him) and enjoy a pastrami sandwich at Sherman’s Deli.Continue reading “Retail therapy.”

Sharing with a friend.

It’s Sale Saturday! So I have to ask…what’s your favorite new product, embellishment, or color in the new catalog? Mine has to be the Pretty Peacock color.

Sometimes the dog is the one who understands the best.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to give back or pay it forward. The school year has ended and I know that I have some teachers and parents reading this.

Creating with the new washi tape.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I am playing with some brand new product from the Pressed Petals Suite. The new washi tape with petals to go is awesome!

Dimensionals as a square.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Have you put your stamps on a block and not been able to get them straight? Then use a square. I will often have a pack of dimensionals on my crafting desk. Grab them and use it for a straightContinue reading “Dimensionals as a square.”

Using negative space.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is the day I want you to think about using negative space. Negative space is when you cut something away and not keep adding more layers. This particular card doesn’t use negative space. So instead of cutting out the tree you could simply cut the tree shape out of the silverContinue reading “Using negative space.”

Sleep is a good thing.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is the day to rest and re-charge. Usually I have some ideas on what to do to break out of your routine but not today. Some days you just have to rest. It’s the end of school, just finished Tara’s (my daughter) birthday, and still getting my new project organized. IContinue reading “Sleep is a good thing.”
