New Magnolias in at Wish On A Scrap

If you haven't gotten your new Valentine Magnolias yet head on over to the Wish On A Scrap Store. Loreen just got some new Tildas in and you have to check out the love muffin stamp....I think it's super duper cute! Also, remember that the Valentine stamps don't have to be just for Valentine's Day....you can create throughout the year with these cuties (birthdays, just because, and love cards are just a few examples)!

I decided to play with Valentine Tilda first! Miss. Tilda was colored with Copics. Copics, Tilda, and the nesties used were all purchased from Loreen over at the Wish Store.

Here's a close up of Miss. Tilda!

Now go on over to the Wish Store and order your Tilda today! :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

More Corner Punch Ideas!

Deb and I got these fun corner punches at the same time, and she is so right.....they are so much fun to play with! If you don't have them you REALLY need to contact Loreen and get some! They are so easy to use, and add that little extra to your creation!


So far, I have used the corner punches to accent the insides of my cards. Below are some of my examples!

Wishing you and your family a splendid holiday season! May your 2009 be creative, successful, and inky!

Doesn't This Month's Kit Rock?

Can I just tell you, every month I say, "WOW, this is the best kit Loreen has EVER put together..." but this month, she's blown me away. The October Wish on a Scrap kit is by far the best kit I've seen for this month.

So I thought I'd share my first creation with it. Sorry that the pictures are a little dark, I took them at 11:30pm and there wasn't much light. But you can see what I made. It's a card holder with 3 cards. The papers are just so yummy, I've been hording it like a fool!

Card 1...

Card 2...

Card 3 (and my favorite of the trio)...

And the notecard holder...

And make sure you keep checking back both here and on my blog, because I have a project I"m currently working on that (hopefully) will blow you away!

Magic Stamp - Fun with Matty's Foot

Loreen sent me another fun project to test out and give my opinion to the masses, it's called Magic Stamp and is a piece of foam that can be heated up and takes the impression of anything you want to use to create a stamp. You can use, clothes pins, buttons, crayons, flowers, etc. Really, anything you want to use for your impression.
It all sounded so fascinating that I had to try it out. And what better item to use for my test run, Matty's foot (thank goodness that I did it a few days ago, at 6 months his foot is already so big it took up the entire piece of foam!).

I then outlined his foot with a blue copic that matched the ink I used to help define his foot even better and added a few rub-ons and rain dots to complete the card.

This really neat product is available at Wish on a Scrap in an 8 pack for $8. And they are reusable, so really think about how many stamps you are getting for only $8! If you'd like to see the product itself, you can click HERE for the link to the Magic Stamp in Wish on a Scrap's store.

Happy Scrapping!

So What Can You Do With Glitter?

Well, you've already seen my cute little glittery brads. And here's the card I made for Kim's PIF Card Challenge adding a touch of glitter just to create some fun shimmer and shine on her trick or treat bucket as well as the circle up top!

So why not create some glittery embellishments?

These two little guys were so easy to create, and you can really make them with any stamps you have. The bear (not sure who makes him, the box just said "Baby Scrapbooking", was colored in with my copics and then using a little glue, I sprinkled some glitter on his tummy. By the way, you can purchase BOTH glitter and copic markers with Loreen here at Wish on a Scrap. The buttony one, that was a little more complicated. The stamp set I used was Autumn Leaves - Sentiments Circles.

So if you liked my little button-type embellishment (the Sentiments Circles one), then you'll love my blog post tomorrow. It's a tutorial on how to make your own glittery buttony embellishment - or any glittery embellishment for that matter. So make sure you stop by!

Happy Scrapping!

What Amazing Add Ons!

I will be the first one to admit I wasn't sure what on earth I was going to do with the Clear Snap Fibers in Limeade from this month's add-ons. I've never really been a fiber gal, so using them was going to be a challenge for me. But then I decided it would be the perfect way to frame my bella, courtesy of one of my Design Clique friends, Kim. After using my sewing machine to do the stitching, I was able to use some clear glue and adhere the fibers. I then used a brayer to secure them and finally hand stitched my buttons onto the card. Oh and as for my coloring, it was done with copics that I bought through Wish on a Scrap. They really are a FANTASTIC investment.
Until next time...
