Let Your Dreams Take Flight


Last week I received my order from Gina K Designs. I was excited to play with them, but one thing led to another and time flew by. Today I sat down to play. I wanted to use the same paper I used for the Kleenex Box and I had ribbon that I also wanted to use. The butterfly and the
sentiment are from the Take Flight setI used Tombow markers to color the butterfly and the sentiment. I cut the butterfly using my Spellbinder rectangle. The sentiment was cut using the Spellbinder Ribbon Tag Trio 2. I sponged around both the butterfly and the sentiment. The butterfly was stamped using Staz On and embossed with clear embossing powder. The butterfly and the sentiment were both stamped on water color heavy weight stock. For those who are not familiar with Gina K Designs. Her stamps are high quality, deeply cut. They are priced very reasonably. They are mounted on cling cushion ready to trim and use with acrylic blocks.
That's all for now....I hope to have time to play tomorrow....Have a great week!

Happy New Year



Happy New Year! I must say I spent New Years Eve sitting in the recliner all bundled up, sniffing, coughing and going through an entire box of Kleenex. Today, I am feeling much better. A while ago, I was looking at tutorials on http://www.stamptv.com/ Gina covered a Kleenex box. This is one of those projects that you tuck away for a rainy day. Well, today it's raining and after yesterday, I have an empty Kleenex box....Gina's tutorial is super easy to follow. I used metallic paper, rather than card stock. The card stock would have made the project more sturdy, but the paper worked well too. The paper is from a PaperPizzaz Metallic Book. The Spellbinder I used is Labels 1 and the leaf is a Cuttlebug die and embossing folder. The ribbon I purchased at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique http://paradisescrapbookboutique.typepad.com/ along with the Labels 1 die.
I'm very happy that I am on the road to a quick recovery...as is my husband. 2010 is definitely looking up! Happy New Year to one and all.
