Brides Magazing Submission

Just a few days ago Mom called me to ask me if I wanted to enter a call for submissions for CHA members. The call was for wedding 'things' and if selected your work would be published in a fall issue of Brides magazine. Well of course I jumped on this opportunity!!! I agreed to use products that she sells on her website and in turn she would use them on her blog to promote the products! The pictures below show what I came up with.

Thanks Mom for all your help and input, and for all of your great tools, papers and embellishments!!!

Inspired By Nature!!!

That fabulous man in the Big Brown Truck came to my house today (ok well actually my mom's house, but I snuck over there while she was out and snaffoo'd the box) and inside the box he delivered was 5 new stamp sets!!!

This one is by far my fave so far..... I have made 3 cards and counting...

Here is a picture of one of my cards, I can see that I will now be addicted to the watercolour wonder crayons too!!

You can make your own 'Inside-out Scallop Squares' with it! Here's how:

Cut a square of cardstock - this one is 2 3/4" square.
Insert it into the scallop punch until you hit the back stopping edge, making sure the sides are even.
***Match up the edges of your card stock with the silver scallops or the grid marks on the lower area of the punch.
Punch once & turn it around to punch all 4 sides.
Easy, huh?

Here is what you get with different sized squares.

The first one started out as a 2 1/8" square. The punch removes the outside flat edge so you get a 1 1/2" finished scallop square.
Hint: Our 1 1/4" square punch fits perfect inside this one.

The other two start out as either 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" squares. The punch leaves the outer straight edge on it, making a nice border.



I borrowed this from another blog!!! Check out her blog here: http://www.flowerbug.typepad.com/

It Starts.....

Last week I decided to start selling my hand made projects via the internet. I heard about this great website called Etsy, a place where you can go to buy and sell hand made products!!! I have found some amazing finds on their myself, and decided that it was the place for me when it comes to selling MY hand made items!!! So now I am in the process of trying to add all of my great stuff, and getting the word out to all my friends and family (and their friends and family....) I hope to use this blog as a creative outlet, a place to share with whomever wants to read it, my projects, ideas, and business creations!!!
