Leap Day coupon code for Oh My Crafts

I recently bought a Silhoutte Cameo cutting machine from Oh My Crafts with their President's Day sale coupon. They sell for $269 but with the 25% coupon I got it for $212.
Now they have another great coupon sale so if anyone is interested in a big ticket item now is the time to get one quarter off. http://www.ohmycrafts.com/ Pin It

Paper Runway Magazine

I love finding pretty things surfing the web and I seem to find a lot of pretty things by designers from Australia lately.
I just found this great digital magazine http://www.paperrunway.com/pastissues.html.
Check out these adorable paper cake topper from http://www.concarta.blogspot.com/.
One of my favorite from Australia is stationary designer Cristina Re http://www.cristinare.com/,  she is also featured in Paper Runway Magazine. I used her belladonna paper to make my lovely lavender lady card.
I hope you enjoy this magazine. Pin It

You are a radishing couple

I was saving this digital card to give to Cissy and Wilk on Valentine's Day and to all my other "couple" friends. I used the cute image of the heart with wings from the Graphics Fairy. The black lace border is from Coffee Shop digital.  The image of the "radishing couple" is from a John Derian decoupage site. The font is King and Queens. Pin It

Lovely Lavender Lady Card

Another date at the Play Date Cafe, this time my inspiration is from an Australian paper designer named Cristina Re, I absolutely love her stuff, so feminine, you should check her out at cristinare.com.
I used vellum paper, the swiss dot embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot to emboss the vellum then just folded as show. Pin It

My craft room

Just wanted you to be the first to see my new craft room, sorry I look so bad but I just woke up and look like Kate Moss. HA, I wish. Next post I'll invite you all inside. Pin It

Je T' aime



While watching a You Tube video on how to make an oval box I made this box out of letter size gray cardstock. I frenchified it up using marble paper to cover and line my box, added a sheer black ribbon band around the top, used ultra thick embossing powder to make Marie Antoinette's image shine and then applied her to the top of my beautiful oval box.
I went to the Graphics Fairy and found the fleur de lis border which was used on the card; I will give this along with the box. I played around in PS and added the cupid and heart image inside the border with a font called woodcut ornaments and the font for I love you is afternoon delight.

Initial wall hanging

Once again, I went to Graphics Fairy to find this soft green background. The font is "Parchment" and I used small topaz colored gems for the corners. Pin It
