Happy weekend folks!
I was playing with scal and my cricut and made this card:
It was so easy, I used a free dingbat font called butterflies I think, selected a butterfly and clicked “blackout” and “weld” in scal, then copy and pasted it, flipped the second one and rotated it and placed then on the mat [...]

I sure do like long titles don’t I? Mother’s Day is Sunday and I thought I would share another quick gift idea with you. I bought this orchid at Wal Mart for $17, if you can believe it (just hoping I can keep it alive long enough to give it to mom;) and I thought [...]

It’s called the gesso technique and I saw a cool tutorial on Split Coast Stampers a few weeks ago. I finally got around to trying it last night. Here are the results:

When I fist started scrapping there was noting lovelier than the sheer pristine sheets of vellum lining the shelves at my local scrapbook store. In fact I routinely used my 50% off coupons to buy packs of the white vellum at JoAnns. One time I hit a great sale of 12×12 embossed vellum at 10 [...]
