Ribbon Wreath Card…With Instructions! WHAT WHAT?!

Good morning friends, 

It's that time again- time for a fun tutorial using my FAVORITE

ribbon from Ribbons Unlimited! 

I created this card and made this ruffly ribbons wreath by hand. 

Let me share how. :)

Cut out a 2.5-3" circle from heavy duty CutCardStock. 

 Fold Double Ruffle Kiwi ribbon and stitch around edges of card stock. 

Fold each time you go about 1/2".

 Trim out the middle of the card stock. 

Using Xyron Adhesive Dots- adhere vintage bracelet. 

(easy find from Goodwills around the USA!)

I got mine in a Gauche Alchemy Kit.

 Add embellishments to wreath. 

Using Xyron Mega Runner- adhere patterned paper to CutCardStock card base. 

 Add extra Satin ribbon and Pearls! 

 That's it! A gorgeous moment from this holiday season. 

We are getting close to Christmas and it's almost time for my break. 

I love holiday projects and it is had for me to quit! LOL

Merry Christmas friends!!

Christmas Stocking Dry Erase Countdown Board

Good morning my crafty friends, 

Just wanted to share this first step into my handmade holiday 

projects coming up. You know I love November and December

because it's the time I get to really go crazy with Christmas projects. 

Today I have a Countdown To Christmas holiday stocking

I created from Clear Scraps acrylic album, SEI papers, 

and Connie Crystal mesh/ I like how it turned out. 

 The boys love it!!!

 I am making one for each of them so they won't fight over the 

Advent Calendars this year. 

Plus it will be a great focal point for my sweet boy every morning. 

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, I for one

am happy it is long over with and ready for the week ahead!

Happy Monday friends....

Craft-astrophe Epic Fail Tale...Laugh Along

Good morning friends, 

Wow Hump Day...it still feels like Monday.

Yesterday was full of epic fails and my crafting was no different!

I had to share with you all....

So you know when you are envisioning this fantastic project that is 

amazing and wonderful and you can see the details

I mean it's just going to be wonderful....so you DIVE RIGHT IN.

Who cares if you haven't tried it before, who cares if you can't find 

your favorite pair of scissors...you are going to rock this!

You will EMBOSS, GLITTER, STENCIL! 

Use your heat gun, use every glitter in the house, use paint...this is GOING to happen.

You get in halfway and you start to doubt yourself....

oh no...what's happening?? Maybe if I add more paint!

Maybe it needs more glitter...no maybe it needs FLOWERS that don't match!

That it!!! 

Then it's too late...you have invested and now it is EPIC.

Don't feel bad, don't feel alone...it happens to the best of us...

And to think...they call me a professional *Palm- Head*

So today I sit and giggle at my horrible day yesterday

that ended with a crazy craft experience. 

From the DMV and the best license photo ever-(not even close)

to all vomit over the inside of my car door (even in the pockets) covering handmade cards.

Then my Craft-astrophe@!&^%$ LOL

Now I tried it with amazing products- the incredible Clear Scraps 

and SEI and Beacon which is why I just have to laugh.

I encourage you to sit back and laugh WITH ME today, 

dont't take your art so seriously, enjoy the amazing products, chuckle

along and remember- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! LOL

Happy Hump Day!!!

You BLOW ME Away...

Happy Friday friends,

It's been one of those weeks and I hope it ends on a high note. 

So much happening from IEP meetings to Dr app. I am ready for

some crafty fun.
