Autumn's All Around

Hi Everyone,

I completed this project for the KellyCraft Blog and I thought I would share it here with you!

I am back with another great project using the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square. I know that I have said it before, but really, I love this product! This tool is what I call my all-in-one! I have been stamping for many years and I can't tell you how many times my project is almost finished and I stamp that last image only to have it not stamp completely on my paper. How frustrating! Well, with my Get-it-Straight Laser Square not only can I line my page elements up perfectly, I can also use it to re-stamp my incomplete images. I am so in love!

This project is a fairly simple to create and sunflowers for me, always remind me of Autumn. With the stamped sunflower and a few embellishments, you have a wonderful project that you can hang on the wall or sit it on your table. And for a beautiful table centerpiece, place your frame on a table next to a vase filled with sunflowers. Now that would be very, very pretty.

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...

Creepy Halloween Card

Hi Everyone,

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I love all the decorations, food, and all of those little ghouls & goblins ringing the doorbell and screaming "Trick or Treat!" Since my kids are grown now I don't get to take them around the neighborhood with their treat bags, but with my first grandbaby due in December, I'm sure going to take her next year!!!

As I was thinking about my project for this post I was thinking about making a treat bag for my soon- to-be grandbaby but since I can't take her out until next year, I decided to make this fabulous grown up Halloween card. My Get-it-Straight Laser Square made this card a breeze to make. I loved be able to put ribbon on my card and have it straight. I have never been able to do that before!

So, let's get started and I will show you once again why you really need this great tool in your studios!!!

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...

Adorable Headband & Bracelet

Hi Everyone,

Ever since my daughter gave birth to my beautiful grandbaby my creative spirit has been focused on everything baby!  I've created frames, clothing, etc. all relating to babies and children.  This project is a perfect example of my mind set. 

When I first saw these beautiful pink beads, my first creative thought was that these would make a great project for a baby or child.  I could just picture my little granddaughter wearing this headband and bracelet.  She would look so adorable!  I can't wait to give them to her!

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...

Beautiful Beaded Bookmark

Hi Everyone,

Have you ever purchased something only to take it home, take it apart and remake it into something different?  I have, and this project is one of those times!

I first purchased this bookmark at the store one day when I was really in a hurry.  When I got home and took a closer look  at it I hated it! It had some ugly fish looking bead (at least I thought it was a fish!) on it with some other type of beads.  I thought to myself this will never do, I want something pretty to look at when I'm reading.

I solved my problem by taking it apart and adding these gorgeous sea beads from Connie Crystal.  I have been working a lot with these sea glass beads because I just can't get enough of them.

This is another very simple project, but again, creating something that is simple to make does not mean it can't be fabulous!

Thanks for joining me. Until next time...
