Full of Miss-Chief...

As some of you may know, we have this little girl in the midst of a BUNCH OF BOYS...lol..well, she definitely can hold her own and this layout displays just that!

I used the NEW Hello Pumpkin line from CTMH which is supposed to be predominantly Halloween but as you can see in this layout, you can totally make it not so...

------------------------------------------------

Here's a close-up...

I used the Stitched Alphabet to hide the word "SCARY" on the Lagoon-colored PML to the right of the photo grid...the title is made using Erin's Hand (a NEW favorite of mine)...

And...I used the NEW Thin Cuts - Shaker Windows & Confetti to make various circles...everything else is Hello Pumpkin paper & Complements...

Here's a look at the products I used...all of which can be purchase on my website {{{here}}}

So Proud...

I absolutely LOVE doing sports layout but by the time you're finished with a kid's High School activities, you feel like you will die if you see another orange & blue page...am I right!?!?! Coupled with the fact that our 2 oldest are pretty much back-to-back High Schoolers but I LOVE how this layout came together.

It is one I made for my Extravaganza presentation this Summer in Vegas and, believe it or not, it's using HALLOWEEN paper...our NEW line, Hello Pumpkin.

Take a look and let me know what you think...

--------------------------------------------------

And...I used the NEW stamp set, So Proud of You for the "title" if you will. To make it non-Halloweeney, I covered all the black lines of the B&T with Bluebird Cardstock...believe or not, it wasn't that time-consuming...

Thanks for stopping by...keep on coming back as I share more artwork from EXTRAVAGANZA as well as some FABULOUS new artwork!

Color My Heart Color Dare #311 - Boutique Tent Card...

I was able to stow away in my craft room this weekend and get some CREATING done...one thing on my check list was create a card using the current Color My Heart Color Dare. The colors can be found in CTMH's new line, BOUTIQUE, which I have had on my table for weeks creating things with it!

I also wanted to play AGAIN with my NEW Shaker Window & Confetti Thin Cuts (LOVE these things)...the result is TWO cards with different elements, equally FUN and GORGEOUS...

-------------------------------------------

As you can see from this photo...this card doesn't 'open' and is meant to display on a desk or something. And...the Loose Sequins in Gold coupled with the start confetti that is a result of die cutting the Shaker Window & Confetti Thin Cuts makes these shaker windows mesmerizing...

---------------------------------------------

On the first card, I also used the Thin Cuts - Decorative Borders to create the tassels! The first card, I used two pieces of acetate that come with the Shaker Foam & Acetate. For the second card, I used one piece of acetate and then cut a 3x3 piece of Gold Polka Dot acetate from the Gold Fundamentals and I opted to use the Peacock Stitched Ribbon which both are currently in the CLEARANCE section of my website (GO GRAB THEM NOW...such a good deal!!!)

And...I did a video showing how to make a tent card...BUT....it's sideways...lol. I know...I know...one who does video tutorials SHOULD know how to record....hahahahahaha. Well, to my defense, I checked to make sure the video was going to record the right way...something must've happened before I started to record that changed it back. 

If you'd like to watch sideways, here you go...sooooo sorry! Also...please go check out the Color My Heart Color Dare Blog and play along with the current challenge...the colors are sooooo pretty!

Just Treats & Thin Cuts-Decorative Borders tutorial...

Happy FRIDAY-EVE...makes the day go by faster when I view days in terms of the weekend 😁

I have been LOVING the September SOTM - Just Treats - because:

            #1 it's ADORABLE...the sentiments are fun and funky!
            #2 it's VERSATILE...there are several sentiments for various occasions!
            #3 it's FABULOUSLY sized...I love that it has smaller images that can be used as well!

I have also been LOVING our NEW Thin Cuts-Decorative Borders...which led to this card AND a video tutorial!

This card also uses 'Tis the Season Paper Packet and our NEW Watercolor Impressions stamp set...

----------------------------------------------------

Here's a closeup of those tiny little images that I LOVE...can you see that tiny little double stitch around the edges...those are the Decorative Borders Thin Cuts...

----------------------------------------------

Here's a look at the inside...SUPER SIMPLE yet effective - used a zip strip and brought those CUTE little trees into the inside and added some tiny stars inked up in Canary...

----------------------------------------

My new favorite THIN CUTS...Decorative Borders

Here's the how-to video...have a GREAT weekend!

Product Challenge: Ribbon - with H2H...

Top of the morning to you...and I pray that your week is AMAZING!!!

I'm going to try and make it pretty at least by sharing a card I made for the latest H2H Challenge and it's a PRODUCT CHALLENGE featuring RIBBON!

Here's a look at my card using the new BOUTIQUE line from CTMH...

---------------------------------------

I know...you're wondering where the unique ribbon technique is...well, I used the Peacock Stitched Ribbon (in the CLEARANCE section of my website right now) as the leaves of the flower I made using the NEW Decorative Border Thin Cuts and Stitched Circles...

------------------------------------

And...I carried the ribbon over to the inside of my card with this little ribbon tab...

Thank you so much for stopping by...I hope you're inspired by this card and all the other DT Member's artwork...go check it out and play along with us before the end of the month!
