Black Friday Week

 

Hello my crafty friends. Well I guess there is no such thing as a true "Black Friday" anymoreas I see everyone starting their sales early. So I guess that is my queue to start early as well.

I have had a blast getting crafty with some of my digital ephemera as well as Christmas stash.

I have added these four Journal books to the shop along with some of my handmade Christmas Cards. Get them while you can!

For my Black Friday event, I will be offering 50% off all of my digital images. I will run this sale for a week, and end it on the last day of the month which is November 30th. This is a great wayto stock up on some of your favorite kits.

No coupon is necessary, as my digitals have already been marked down for you.


Happy Shopping!

A Bugs Junk Journal

Hi everyone! I am excited to be participating in the new release by VectoriaDesigns. The kit is called Bugs Junk Journal and it is just beautiful!


I decided to create a traditional journal out of the kit, but there is so much more you can do with the wonderful printables.  My Journal has three signatures and I created a video to show you how to put one of those signatures together. 


You can check out my process video over on my YouTube channel and you can find this wonderful kit over at VectoriaDesigns.

This Bugs Journal is now available in my shop, so be sure to check it out.

Happy Crafting!




Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!

Hi everyone and welcome to the Coffee Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. This is a week long hop where you can add your projects to the link up which will then be available to be chosen for possible giveaways from the sponsors.


I am excited to be one of the Super Sponsors again this year. I will be giving away my latest Coffee digital set called Another Cup of Coffee. This set along with all of my digital images will be 20% off during the week of the hop May 22 - May 30. 


My inspiration team will also be sharing their projects during the hop as well as over on their YouTube channels on May 30th. 

Journal Book

I created a journal with the set and used an actual vintage milk cap for my closure. This journal will be available over in the shop, but be quick as there is only one available. 


This book has three signatures with plenty of pages for decorating or just journaling. The signatures are held in place with some elastic bands and can be replaced when they are filled.  I also left the pages loose so they can be removed to decorate as you wish then be re entered into the journal easily. 


I stuck with the brown tones for the signature covers to keep with the coffee theme.


For the back cover, I used another piece from the kit. I just love this brown page with the coffee bean plant. 

I hope you enjoy  the hop!

Born to Roam - STAMPlorations theme and sketch challenge

Hi everyone! I am back with my mid month inspiration for our them and stamp challenge over at STAMPlorations.


This time I am just using the theme of flight for my card.  


The two stamps sets I am using are Wanderlust Expressions 1 and Born to Roam. I love creating my own cards when I am planning a trip and sending them out instead of postcards when I am traveling!  These two sets make perfect cards for those occasions.

April Showers - STAMPlorations theme challenge

Hi everyone and Happy April! Wow can you believe that we are already in our 4th month of 2020? Time sure flies! Our theme for this month's STAMPlorations challenge is perfect for those Spring Cards.  


I am using both the photo prompt and theme for my first card.  This is the first time I am using some of the new stickers at STAMPlorations and I am loving them. 


The stickers don't come grungy, but I was able to get this affect by putting them on some textured cardstock, then pulling them off. As you can see it created an awesome result. This sticker set is called April Showers.  I also used the stamp set called For the Birds
