I created the above paper layout by following the steps from Wilna Furstenberg at Studiocalico.com. She used gel paint in her tutorial but I don't have gel paint so I used what was available to me, which was, gel matte medium, and acrylic paints. The intricate die cut was created by Wilna as a freebie. ... Continue Reading →
I'm very happy to be done with writing out my resolutions. Now I just need to buy a new 3-ring binder for my 2015 Project Life. I looked at Micheal's collection of binders a week ago and almost bought one for 40% off but decided to wait. I'm going to go back and get that... Continue Reading →

I decided to make my own stickers using the Silhouette Portrait (mentioned here, here, and here.) and they turned out pretty good. Here's a tutorial on how I accomplished these stickers. What you'll need: Printer Silhouette Portrait... Continue Reading →

Last night, I plugged in the Silhouette Portrait and tried it for the first time. It was very easy to use and worked as expected. I'm going to get a lot of use out of this little tool.
Earlier this year I was looking at the Silhouette Cameo and Portrait to supplement my crafting hobby, especially the Portrait. The Portrait costs $180, which was something I didn't have. I soon started to see giveaways for the Portrait on my Facebook feed and crafting blogs I follow so I would enter in these giveaways. ... Continue Reading →
Kida went to a classmate's birthday party over the weekend and had a really great time. I made this card and had Kida sign it. I used papers and elements from some of the digital designer's I purchased from. I also used blue glitter glue and made little spots all around the yellow frame. Sketching... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday. The day is almost over though. Kida has a ballet performance in a bit here so I'm going to try to get this in before I leave. I'm trying to hype myself up for my idea of a hybrid photo album. Hybrid scrapbooks and photo albums are not new. It's been around for... Continue Reading →
