I've got one last project for you using the Butterfly Kisses Suite. I saw an idea online using one of the wing dies from the suite to make some hearts on a card. I thought it was a pretty clever idea. I die cut nine of the wings out of our watercolor paper. Then I water colored each one in each of the nine colors I picked out. I love the rainbow look. It's so colorful and happy. These are the nine colors I used. I love stretching … [Read more...] about One Last Butterfly

Tulip Wreath
A few weeks ago when I was working on some other projects using the Tulips Suite, I die cut a bunch of the tulip flowers in different colors. I also cut out the windmill with the plans to use them on a card. Well, it turned out everything together was way too big for a card. So everything sat on my desk in a little pile until I figured out what to make with it. One of my local stores sells these 6" plain wreaths that you can decorate. I hot … [Read more...] about Tulip Wreath
July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
Independence day has come and gone for another year but I couldn't let July pass without creating a patriotic Sampler for this month. Honestly, this one was a little bit of a struggle. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to make fireworks because I really wanted fireworks in July's Sampler. I tried a couple different things, but none of them looked quite right. But I think the red and blue sparkles in the top left square are a … [Read more...] about July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
Framed Floral Squares
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing my final project (for now) using the Floral Square dies. I had an older shadowbox frame in my living room and I decided it was time to change it out. This combines both the subtle background plus a pop of color. The yellow and the red match my living room decor and paint colors. It really is a simple looking project, but I like the clean look. And when I tire of it, I can easily replace it. Do you … [Read more...] about Framed Floral Squares
Spring Sampler
The first official day of Spring was this past Saturday. And with the recent Day Light Savings time change, I'm looking forward to longer sunny days. I love that feeling of the warmth on my skin as I sit outside on my patio in the evening. Today I'm sharing my Spring Sampler which is a mix of rain, birds chirping, and flowers growing. Our Spring in SoCal usually starts out rainy. I usually don't mind the rain too much. You've got to have a … [Read more...] about Spring Sampler

I … [Read more...] about March Sampler-So Lucky
Butterfly Bouquet Part 2
I love the products in the new Butterfly Bouquet Suite and couldn't wait to use them. My first project is a home decor piece. This is a 2x4" block of wood that's about 12" long. I actually got it at a local store and then painted it white. I used the Blushing Bride metallic ribbon with a bit of the vanilla lace trim tucked just under the edge. Then I added a strip of the Natural Wood paper. This paper looks just like real wood, but it is … [Read more...] about Butterfly Bouquet Part 2
