Thank you Card

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA for a while, but have been extremely busy working at my new job. I love it and am glad to have found work with such a wonderful company.

This week the challange at Paper Vineyard was to use a Thank You stamp from Impression Obsession. I also used paper from the Graphic 45 Tropical Traveloque line, Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die and Tea Dye Distress Stain, Versamark Ink and clear embossing powder.
Hope you like it. If you are in the area, stop in to Paper Vineyard to check out the store. They are always getting new things in. See you soon!

Magic of Oz for Paper Vineyard

This week, our Paper Vineyard Design Team topic was the Magic of Oz with Graphic 45's new paper line of the same name. I must admit that this one scared me a bit. I just wasn't sure what to make. Well, after searching through my ever growing stash, I found a frame that I had bought at Hobby Lobby a while back. It seemed the perfect base for this project. I didn't have a picture to use in the frame, so I cut the Wicked Witch of the West from one of the papers and put her in the frame. I think it turned out pretty good. I guess I need to step out of my comfort zone more often!

And can you believe it?? 2 weeks in a row and NO Cricut! At least for the design team. I have been working on other projects though. I went to an all day crop on Saturday (Thanks Becky), and a mini book class at Paper Vineyard on Sunday (Thanks Dana). It was a great crafting weekend for me!

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think. Have a great week!!

Paper Vineyard Design Team "Let's go to the Circus!"

So the theme this week for the Paper Vineyard Design Team is
"Let's go to the Circus!"
And we were challenged to use Graphic 45 products. Well, that part was easy! Graphic 45 has a whole line of paper called Le Cirque Collection. May I say "AWESOME!"
Here is the tag that I made. I used Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to cut out the tag and then I covered it with the Graphic 45 paper. Then, I used another one of their papers that looks like it has stamps all over it, cut them apart and layered them to give dimension. The Circus Spectacular ticket was cut from another paper from this same line. I added buttons with embroidery floss (from Michaels), and some ribbon. I attached the ribbon with my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. Awesome tool by the way. I got it at Paper Vineyard on competitor coupon day. The store honors Michaels, Joanns, and Hobby Lobby coupons on the first and third Friday of the month (April 1st and 15th). Cool, huh?!

Stop in the store sometime. They have some great stuff in there that you don't find at the big, box stores. And remember to take advantage of their competitor coupon day.

Have a great week!
