Pumpkin Pete is a great seasonal wall hanging, layered on burlap,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with covered chipboard, topped with a festive raffia bow and sassy sunflowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drew him from inspiration of an old party bag I was given, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a darling illustration by Beth Yarbrough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pete is printed on glossy photo paper and the whole center section is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
layered together with Mod Podge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our amazing Fall=O=Ween crop, I have several complete kits and tutorial available.</div>

I just love Halloween decorations and cards, and this one, inspired by a design on Pinterest, just caught my EYE! HAHAHAHA!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a standard A2 black top fold card, with a white lining, (it is photographed against orange). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The speech bubbles and text were done in Word, cut out and popped up on foam dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a tip... regular quick dry glue doesn't hold these eyes very well, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I used MEGA TACK Stretchable Extreme Adhesion glue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the eyes are staying put!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp your favorite sentiment inside and you're done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember,</div>

There is a video on Splitcoast Stampers on how to make the bacon. It is created with satin ribbon, alcohol markers (I used E09 and E21), and a heat gun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what is bacon without sunny side up fried eggs?</div>

Punch the yolks from yellow paper with a circle punch (I used 1 3/4 inch, but they were pretty big!), and lay them flat on a foam mat. Use a large stylus or round paint brush handle to gently roll around and around pressing them out in the center. Lay them onto Versamark and then coat with clear embossing powder and heat. Use glossy paper or photo paper to hand cut the egg white. Distress edge lightly with brown ink. Glue edges of the yolks and place on egg whites. Don't forget the pepper and salt! For salt I just dotted on white glue and it dries clear :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bon appetite!</div>

Hi, Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying for hours to share many things with you tonight,</div>

I have made my own adjustments to their designs, and I cut my paper to 4.25 x 11.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Score at 5.5. Then cut the left side (facing the card) down to 2.5 inches, leaving a 2.5 inch tall "front" on the card. The remaining piece that you have removed is 1.75 x 5.5. This will become the "right arm". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Score the "left arm end" at .25 of an inch. Then score the 1.75 x 5.5 inch piece .5 on the right end and .25 on the left end. Use double sided tape to attach the .5 inch end to the back of the card, creating the two "arms". The left arm is taller than the right, as shown in the photo below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have taken a pencil and free hand drawn the "hill". Cut with scissors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut a tab into the .25 inch scored section on each arm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Measure 2.25 inches from the left scored edge, and cut a slit for the right tab to fit into. Measure the spot, and use the tab to mark the top and bottom of the slip. Cut with craft knife.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The slit for the left arm tab is 1.25 inches from the right side, cut into the back wall of the card. Again, use the tab of the left arm as the guide for exact fit of the slip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Distress and add decorations as desired!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This birthday cake is an adaptation, because the "arms" wrap all the way from side to side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cakes have straight layers, and I wanted to be sure it looked like a beautiful cake,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with frosting inside and out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will not fit into a regular A2 envelope, as the candles add a bit of height,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the "arms" add length,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so a 5 x 7 envelope is needed...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but so worth it!</div>

At our Friday Try-Day class last week we made this card, and it was so much fun seeing how many different faces and personalities these little fellows had! I sent one right off to my Grandson T for his 12th birthday. I hope you will enjoy making them, too!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut yellow cardstock 4.25 x 11 and score at 5.5, creating a top fold. Use corner rounder on top edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Distress all around with dark yellow ink. I used Close To My Heart Creme Brulee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add a black stripe .25 inch wide across the width of the card to create the band for the goggles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make the goggles by punching a 1 3/8" circle in Tanzanite Gemstone paper by Co'ordinations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then carefully punch a 1.75 inch circle directly over the previous circle, creating a silver ring. Repeat if your Minion has two eyes :o)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Punch out the appropriate number of 1.75 inch white circles and .5 inch black circles for eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mouth is made the same way as the goggles, but a slightly "wonky" circle works best. Cut a part of the circle, and arrange the mouth as desired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using blue paper for jeans, cut two rectangles and two "straps".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rectangles are 1.5 x 2.5 and 1.25 x 1.5. The straps are .25 wide and fit to length.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Distress ink with darker blue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add stitching lines and "buttons" with black fine line marker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you will enjoy this card project! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm off to another crop!</div>

Using straight and wavy crimpers is a great way to add dimension and interest when creating a scene.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Begin with a 4 x 5.25 blue background. Emboss with small dots. (Cuttlebug Swiss Dots here).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This stamped snowman image is set upon two "hills" created by tearing a 2 x 4 rectangle diagonally. Run each piece through the wavy crimper. Turn the ends so they create overlapping hills. Secure the sides and bottom to the base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add two evergreen trees, which have been folded down the center line, and also run through the crimper. This gives them dimension and the impression of having branches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add a section of die cut fence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add the colored, stamped image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp a "Merry Christmas" sentiment on a stamped oval, which is attached with dimensional foam dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Cool Yule card is easy to reproduce with many different products on the market. </div>

I have a new love for Washi Tape! It is available just about everywhere, even Walmart, in great colors and designs. I have started a nice little collection (er, obsession) and this is a fun, easy note card in one of my favorite color combos....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut base cardstock 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5, folded at the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use corner rounder on the bottom corners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut two white pieces 4 x 5.25, also rounded on the two corners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add three strips of color coordinated washi tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp the cat first (Studio G stamp)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then stamp "hello" (Studio G)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add second white card to inside as liner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great in any color combo :o)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you will enjoy making some fun, easy cards to say"hello"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello, Anna!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday Try-Day started off with three great cards they expected and then</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the ladies got a special surprise of a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas In July Card!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Splitcoast Stampers inspired card was so much fun to make, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and they loved using the traditionally "halloween" Drippy Goo punch for the candles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's how to make one for yourself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Begin with an A2 background in red... 8.5 x 5.5 folded to 4.25 x 5.5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White 4 x 5.25 embossed with Snowflake design by Cuttlebug (Provo Craft)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Red cardstock cut to 2.75 x 3.75. Add strip of punched Drippy Goo across top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut red/white piece into three - 1 x 2.75, 1.25 x 2.75 and the remainder is 1.5 x 2.75.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use corner rounder (I used We R. Memory Keepers 1/4 Chompers) on candle edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Distress sides of candles with Vintage Photo Distress ink for depth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Layer candles to desired positions and trim bottom edges evenly. Glue together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place as single unit on card, 5.8" from the bottom of white card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Punch out four holly leaves and six branch punch pieces. Mold with ball stylus. Adhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use standard office hole punch for berries. Mold to cup shape, invert and glue in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add flames cut from flower petals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Accent with red and silver Stickles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enjoy! I'll be back with you again soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy crafting ~</div>

At long last a project that I have been dreaming has started coming together, and I am so pleased to introduce you to the first in a series of new houses in the neighborhood!<br />
<br />
I am having server issues, and can't seem to upload photos or videos ... very frustrating!.... but want you to know that I have the kits and information that I have posted on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BettySwinkBrett">facebook</a> page ready for you!<br />
<br />
The Home Sweet Home Album Series is a great book, encased in a box shaped like a house, and the first edition will be the LOVE AT HOME album that will be perfect for a first home, your home, bringing baby home, a gift for someone who is moving, or any other special event having to do with home. It is matted with Fancy Pants Hopscotch papers, and embellished with original PRINTABLES and created with windows, doors, greenery, fences, even a kitty that are all original CUTTABLES. You get the entire kit, (chipboard, cardstock, designer paper, hardware, tutorial, showcase, and cuttables!) for just $55.00 <br />
<br />
When you get your next kit, you save money, because you already have the tutorial! <br />
<br />
The next one coming out this week will be the PUPPY PALACE, which is Home Sweet Home for our precious Pups!<br />
<br />
Coming next will be the LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE, ideal for all of those wonderful school photos and capturing the memories of the classroom and childhood. <br />
<br />
Down the road are THE BEACH HOUSE, THE CLUB HOUSE, THE PLAY HOUSE, THE LITTLE MONSTERS' HAUNTED HOUSE, NANA'S HOUSE, CHRISTMAS HOUSE, and more!!<br />
<br />
Each one is created from the very same tutorial, but with a different outside treatment, paper lines, PRINTABLES and CUTTABLES!! <br />
<br />
SINCE I AM HAVING COMPUTER ISSUES (So very sorry about that!! ~ It may be the storms we are having here in FL), if you are interested, please email me at the address in the sidebar, and I will communicate with you by email, and send you a paypal invoice, and get your kit on it's way to you!<br />
<br />
Remember, you can view the video on my facebook page, and I hope to have it up on YouTube, and here soon.<br />
<br />Happy crafting !<br />

(See, even my cute bee signature has flown away ~ gremlins, I tell you!!)<br />

<div>
This month's Friday Try-Day cards featured several varied techniques, as usual, and I'll start with this trendy look of using a detailed stamp, and blocking it out to make it a silhouette.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1fayW0XbjZJD6iapQLOXUZwf_CkcUyjqE7iPzqctnlbE6dksT6UFV4DvnKxVjMdhzZPARgfCi8Wl74DV42On1SLwkVNVQTpd0OVRMg2vwTRWNHNhtyGcpuq88G4wA1rcHNwC6MEdNl0/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1fayW0XbjZJD6iapQLOXUZwf_CkcUyjqE7iPzqctnlbE6dksT6UFV4DvnKxVjMdhzZPARgfCi8Wl74DV42On1SLwkVNVQTpd0OVRMg2vwTRWNHNhtyGcpuq88G4wA1rcHNwC6MEdNl0/s320/024.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started by punching a sticky note "sun" and deciding where we wanted our horizon to be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sketch in a very light line with a permanent pen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a stencil brush and yellow ink, brush back and forth to add the yellow layer all the way across the card. Place the sun mask along the horizon in desired position.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now begin brushing in layers of orange, pink, and purple for the sky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add blues and greens for for the water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp the bird, tree and grasses. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Color in all open areas with a marker, creating the silhouettes, extending any areas to edges as necessary..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a fine line pen to add water movement lines. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add your sentiment of choice to the water area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This technique works best as a card front layer, as the marker will bleed through the cardstock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mat and add to folded card for finished card ready for presentation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This works very well with all sorts of stamped images, including ones that didn't give a good impression the first time, and can be saved this way! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed one of our Friday Try-Day projects, and will give it a TRY yourself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See you again soon with more ..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy crafting ~</div>

Who can resist a great sale? I found a super sale on the Yudu silk screen CardMaker, and have been having a lot of fun working on some cool projects.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlVrpBwKXHLAF-L6R1sLgn3zLsJw3vul4XT1zNrtC2T-ANOrIAKWoNRQNZuHxVozPGVm4VMnPQOclBKVCreb_gMdLWci7Qoxg6e9InxOT8sxp11SPfqY2gVz6ZDGy2wRoxcjXcRa5JpqU/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlVrpBwKXHLAF-L6R1sLgn3zLsJw3vul4XT1zNrtC2T-ANOrIAKWoNRQNZuHxVozPGVm4VMnPQOclBKVCreb_gMdLWci7Qoxg6e9InxOT8sxp11SPfqY2gVz6ZDGy2wRoxcjXcRa5JpqU/s320/003.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With silk screen you get crisp, clean images with extraordinary detail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Cardmaker offers pre-burned screens with images and sentiments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You squeegee ink over the screen, making as many copies of the image as you want. </div>

This image was screened with a mask, allowing use of both pink and chocolate inks.</div>

It is nice to have an organized place for all of the cards we create as we are learning all of the new techniques we try out, and those great designs we CASE from Pinterest! LOL</div>

Today I am sharing one of our Friday Try-Day cards from April, which was waiting in the box for a time, sadly, when it would be needed to cheer someone in need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Just a Little Prayer"</div>

The inside sentiment says "That God will keep you in His care".</div>

<a href="http://ifeeltheloveproject.blogspot.com/2013/06/never-forget-baby-mason.html">I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT</a> for this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This blog, and the work they do is very precious to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Madison, the teenage founder of this Non-profit organization is a talented</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
young woman with a giant heart. Since she was 16 years old she has chosen a different family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
each month that could benefit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from receiving handmade cards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month's story is of a 6 month old angel named </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Baby Mason</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who was born with special needs,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then tragically died at the hands of a drunk driver. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My card will be delivered to his grieving parents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you will take a moment to check out this website, and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
perhaps join in sending a card...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a new mission every month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lace stamp set as well as the sentiments are available from Close To My Heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lace was heat embossed in white onto pale gray cardstock,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then distressed with Sapphire Blue ink over the top. Use a paper towel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to buff the image and bring the white back to brilliance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The butterfly was cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, also from CTMH. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pearl brads are from Making Memories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mat with black, and mount on a blue card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Line with another gray insert with the sentiment stamped in blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you are inspired to do something creative today.</div>

Occasionally we come across a design that is so much fun that we want to make it over and over, and this album seems to be it for me! Last year I introduced this Mighty Mega Mini Album to you in three other designs, A Beautiful Baby (Graphic 45's Little Darling paper), a Spooky Halloween, <a href="http://bettybrett.blogspot.com/2012/10/mini-albums-and-class.html">here</a>... and in an elegant Black and White <a href="http://bettybrett.blogspot.com/2012/09/mighty-mega-mini.html">Romantic version</a>. This handy 5.5 x 6.5 size is perfect for seasonal or special occasion events, and is ideal for working with one pack of paper, such as this one from Stampin' Up. </div>

Are you ready to chase "Old Man Winter" out? How about sending some cheerful, springy tulip cards with gingham or polka dot bunnies to usher in the warmth? "Cards By The Yard" are ones that are such fun to make in multiples, and I bring you these today that will be perfect for welcoming Spring!<br />

I am using standard A2 size bases, <a href="http://bettybrett.ctmh.com/">Art Philosophy cartridge by Close to My Hear</a>t for the frame and tag, and Martha Stewart punches for the flowers and butterflies. The bunny is my design from last year's<a href="http://bettybrett.blogspot.com/search?q=decor+bunny+"> Decor Bunny Project</a> shrunk down to 1 1/2 inches.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the video on making them!<br />

How did you get your name? Are you named for someone in the family, friend, etc. Do/did you have a nickname?<br />
<br />
Describe a childhood birthday. Do you have pictures?<br />
<br />
If you could meet one person in the world, who would it be? Why?<br />
<br />
Yesterday, it was my pleasure to present a program on Preserving Our Family Stories in Venice, Florida. As part of this presentation we discussed journals, and their uses in telling our personal stories, starting family conversations, and as triggers for successful interviews with our ancestors. I have prepared a list of 50 such thought provoking prompts. If you would like to download them, the link for <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/?rvl0t3eqnctu4c5">JOURNALING JIGGLERS</a> is <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/?rvl0t3eqnctu4c5">HERE</a>. I hope they will help you get started telling YOUR story!<br />
<br />
PS Many thanks to those who were there and helped me! I fell ill, and they jumped right in and took over. Off to the doctor again tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Happy creating to all!<br />

Nothing is as feminine as beautiful lace and gorgeous roses. I am delighted to share both with you tonight. This is a card I have made for a special friend, and it features a new die I have from <a href="http://heartfeltcreations.us/">Heartfelt Creations.</a></div>

The roses are handmade from punches and Cricut cuts, with a delightful new twist. Watch for a YouTube video coming soon!</div>

It's Valentine Week, and I hope you are enjoying time with loved ones in your life.<br />
This is a CAS card that I did for my 4 year old grandson, along with about 50 mustaches<br />

I was at StampFest this past weekend, and it seems that Vellum is making a big comeback... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as if it ever really went anywhere! But there were lots of vendors using vellum in their projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Join me Tuesday evening at 8:00 for my UStream class, and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
