I'm on a Crafty Secrets kick!
Hello! I am SO on a Crafty Secrets kick! I can't get enough!!!! Today I decided to decorate a frame backing. I bought a couple frames from the dollar store last month, and I just remembered that I had them! The frames themselves are very ugly, but who needs those?!
I decided to pull out my new Glamour Girls set and do something w/ it. This flapper girl is perfect for this!!!!
The designer paper is from the Luxury Stack by DCWV. I also used vanilla and Choc. Chip (SU!) c/s. Kaiser pearls, brown polka dot ribbon, a crystal pin, and brads complete the embellishments! Oh, and I can't forget the resin swirl from Melissa Frances that my friend Karolyn sent to me!
Happy Stamping!!!

Crafty Secrets and a SALE!!!!
Hello!!! Today I have two samples to show you from the Crafty Secrets line, also available at ABC Toys and Crafts! This is my new favorite line of stamps! I also have one of the journaling books, called Homemade, that work perfectly w/ the stamp sets!
This first card was made using the Homemade Journal and Tea and Coffee set. The swirls on the back panel are from Glamour Girls. Isn't this so cute! I was bitten by the bug and couldn't just stop at one card! I had to make something else! I was flipping through the Homemade Journal, and I found this sweet picture of a mother and daughter baking, and I decided to make a recipe card! I made mine 6x6 for no particular reason. I used the pie stamp from Kitchen Classic (Large). The recipe is a real one, from a dear friend of mine who makes the very best Chocolate Chip cookies!

Inkadinkado stamps!
Hello all! This is my first card for the ABC Toys and Crafts store! I have used two new Inkadinkado stamps: Asian Circle Flower Frame and Asian Lotus Flower. I also used Prima flowers, brown thread, brown brads, Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds inside the circle frame, a little sponging, and Certainly Celery c/s and ribbon and Close to Cocoa c/s.
The Asian Circle Flower Frame is very cool! I have a bunch of ideas for this stamp, as well as the Asian Lotus Flower. Lots of versatility w/ these stamps! Go check them out!!!!
Happy Stamping!!!
Thanks friends!
Hello! A few friends of mine that I met online have sent me (well, Elizabeth) gorgeous gifts, and I wanted to make them thank you cards. I have a few more to make, but here are a few! I decided to use the Bella Rose D.P., Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette and Ridinghood Red c.s. As well as Kiwi Kiss ribbon and Pink Pirouette ribbon. I'm surely going to miss these colors!!!! I'm buying more cardstock because these colors are just so awesome! (In my opinion, anyway!)
For this first card, I used Bella Rose d.p., pink piroutte and ridinghood red for the layers. I used my new Martha branch punch. The flower is actually a cut out from another piece of D.P. I don't have that stamp set, so I had to improvise. I forgot about my lace corners, and I thought that it would make a nice embellishment on here. To soften it up. The sentiment is SU! It's one of my favorites!
This second card uses Pink Piroutte and Choc. Chip c/s along w/ Bella Rose d.p. Pink Piroutte ribbon w/ Choc. Chip ribbon on top. The flower is from Sabrina (Making Memories) found at Michael's. Stamp is from Define Your Life (SU!)
Happy Stamping!!!
