AccuCut New Camping Album Die

Hi Everyone!
I'm so happy to share with you the lastest die I designed for AccuCut Craft. With Summer around the corner I thought it would be fun to create a Camping Album Die Set. Camping was one of my favorite things to do during the Summer with my family and cousins. My Uncle Al and Aunt Grace would take all of us in their Dodge Van and we would head out to Lake Tahoe and spend the weekend camping during the entire Summer. I have so many fun memories and look forward to creating new one with my husband and girls. Be sure to stop by AccuCut Craft for their 20% off all new dies that were released this May 2012 and use the code MAY by Monday, May 21, 2012. Happy shopping!

Suitcase Note Box

Hi Everyone!

I thought it would be fun to create a Suitcase Note Box for my sister. She had gone on a business trip to Hawaii this week and knew this would be perfect for her office desk. I used both my Sizzix Tim Holtz Vintage Valise and Box #3 Die to create the suitcase. I added some loose paper and stamped these gorgeous Hawaiian images from these stamps I received from my cousin that used to live in Hawaii. I finally got to use them and I love it. I wanted to give the feel of Hawaii on the front of the suitcase by incorporating bright fun colors from the G.C.D Studios Funhouse collection and created a beach theme since my sister loves the beach. I used my Fiskars cloud punches in two different sizes and added pop dots for dimension. I added some Yellow trim that I purchased from my local Hobby Lobby and some gorgeous laser cuts from Lindy Stamp Gang. The umbrella and chair are just too adorable. Of course it wouldn't be complete without some sand and seashells. I layered a lot of beautiful I Am Roses on and around Sa Crafters pink rosette. I incorporated some Pink Gardenia Curly Petals, White Roses that I sprayed with the new Lindy Stamp Gang's Nantucket Pearls Salt Water Taffy and Hawaiian Island Magical Mai Tai. I then added some Medium White Poinsettia, Foam Head White Color Stamen . This was really fun to create.

Sassy Sophie Picture Frame

Hi Everyone! Here's a picture frame I created with Sweet Nothing's Stamp Co. Sassy Sophie for Ashley's teacher. Its that time of the year to create some projects for my girls teachers as a thank you gift. I love how adorable Sophie is and how perfect she fits on the frame. I colored Sassy Sophie with my Copic markers and paper pieced her outfit with theSoul Food collection by Melody Ross. I've been into bright colors lately and love all the colors on each of the design papers. I found these adorable Shabby picture frames at my local Target and added some pink rosette trim and I Am Roses flowers. Also, I plan on adding a picture of Ashley and her teacher in the picture frame. These make really fun and cute gifts.
