Monday Makes – A Beautiful Bouquet

2 Replies

Hello and welcome. I have a lovely floral card to share with you today and I have to say it was a tonne of fun making it. Just love the bundle (meaning the stamp set and dies) as I feel that the Beautiful Bouquet are really paired well together. Sometimes I look at stamp sets and dies or punches for that matter and wonder…do I need them both? Can I get away with fussy cutting or is it really necessary? Well, remember my silly thinking with the Lemon Punch? I am happy to announce that I did not make the same mistake with this set. I got the bundle and I am soooo glad I did. Check out the project for today.

Fabricate Friday – A Funky Triangle Box

2 Replies

So let me tell you a story. I have a wonderful friend named Lee. She is very helpful and she is very kind. One day she came into get her hair done and was so proud to give me a box. It was really unusual but looked amazing and she said it was from a Chocolate shoppe in Las Vegas. I was totally impressed and was excited to open it and receive a Las Vegas Chocolate. Alas, there was no chocolate…none. She had eaten it but saved me a box so I can remake it for you. I shall now console you for not having a chocolate as well. I hope your disappointment will fade as mine did when I discovered how really cool this build is. PS Lee, if you are reading this. Please don’t bring a chubby girl a chocolate box without a chocolate…this diet is killing me.

On with the show…

Wildcard Wednesday – First day!

3 Replies

Hello all and thank you so much for stopping in. Today is the first day of my new Wednesday card video series. I know a few of you will be disappointed that I am not sharing an Art Video, but it’s already August and I honestly haven’t had time this year to create in my Art Journal. Not with trying to balance career and my “jobby” here. With the start of the Email club a few months ago, and the Online card classes plus my admin work on several Facebook groups…there isn’t a lot of extra time just to play. However, I am not saying I won’t ever do another one, but for now I am filling Wednesdays up with cards! I know quite a few of you will be happy. If you enjoy Monday Makes then Wildcard Wednesday is up your alley.

I have decided to produce more content in an attempt to inspire more people more often, and to hopefully have a farther reach across the country. I don’t know if you know this but I am unable to host workshops in my home as it is too small. Many demonstrators I know have club nights and craft workshops and I am at a loss because I just can’t do it. I have 2 avenues in which to gain customers, I ask people to host the workshops in their homes or I can put a lot of content up on the inter webs in hopes to gain a nice customer base. 95% of my customers are online now and I do very much appreciate them and really try hard to earn their business. So that is my plan with this new video series. I shall endeavor to create and produce more inspiration and really work hard for those customers.

This is the card I am sharing today. It’s “art journal” inspired and I love it.
