I am loving the Falling For You collection.  I love Autumn, and the nice cool evenings.  I used the Falling For You Scrapbooking stamp, using Pewter, Goldrush and Fern Ink.  I used the leaves embossing folder on the Goldrush squares.  For some embellishments I added Bronze Sequins.

Falling For You 1Sheet Wonder 20 Card Workshop


I am so excited to be able to announce the newest 1 Sheet Wonder Workshop, Falling For You.  I absolutely love this Autumn paper collection and I hope you do too.

Here is the whole collection:



I just love the color palette, I think because I love fall, the the leaves changing colors on the trees. Each cutting guide will create 20 cards, 5 designs, with 4 of each card.  Now if your customers are beginners, you could always break this down into smaller classes, 10 cards, or 5 cards.  Making your supplies and guides stretch further.


Here are each of the cards:

Card 1

Card 2

Card 3

Card 4

Card 5

Wreath made for New Home

My mother called me up last Monday asking if I could make a Wreath for her BFF for their new home.  She wanted to give her a gift that she couldn't go and purchase herself.  So here is when it is great that you have a crafty daughter.

So Saturday my parents came into the city, and we finalized placement of all the pretty paper flowers, and then the glue gun came out.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.



About 20 minutes ago, I got a call from the new home owner, and she loves her wreath, and informed me she has already found a home for it, and has hung it up.

Colours used for greenery are, Topiary, Sweet Leaf and New Enlgand Ivy.  The flowers are Pixie, Bashful, and Colonial White cardstock.  Some of the Colonial White were inked with Pixie and Crystal Blue Ink.

The name is Heat Embossed using Gold Embossing Powder.  The wreath is wrapped in Burlap Ribbon.
