I Spy My Creations & Some News!

Hey there everyone! I wanted to pop in today to share some fun news with you all.

Be sure to read all the way to the end so that you don't miss out on all of the excitment.

Before I get to that, I first want to share some of my summer publications. It will never get old seeing my creations in print. I'm so excited to have projects in both the CARDS Magazine and Create Idea Book.

This is the project that is in the Create Idea Book - Stamping Magazine. This one may have came out before July, but I'm just now getting my hands on it. This project is in the - "My Favorite Stamp" section of the mag. I used my Stampin' Up stamp for these mini bags.

I also have several of my creations in the Cards Magazine - July issue.

I used a coffee filter to make the flower for this one.

This mini card set features yummy Twinery twine & Amy Tangerine products.

This one features the bicycle stamp from Hero Arts.

(Sweet Virginia Lu introduced me to their stamps & I'm hooked)

Thank you Cards & Create Magazine for featuring my projects!

And now for some FUN NEWS!!!!

I have been invited to be on the Clear Scraps design team. I will get to design with their fabulous acrylic mini albums, shapes, chipboard, and so much more. I can't wait to show you all of the fun projects that I have planned. 

And  I'm so super excited to work with an awesome group of designers that are lined up for the new term. You can meet them on the Clear Scraps blog - {Here}

Polka Dot Pockets

I love the CR84FN & Paper Issues challenges, but have not had the time to play in a while. Well...it's Saturday...so I'm playin' along today!

Fab color choices this week too. I made some Polka Dot Pockets using my fave element...canvas. It's such a natural color and adds a bit of fun texture to any design.

So what do you all have planned this weekend? I have two non-crafty friends that want me to show them how to make a scrapbook. I think I'll take them to Archivers first to load up on goodies. They will be addicted before I'm done with them...LOL

Have a Happy Weekend! 

Coffee Filters & A Punch

Most of you all know that I design for LESSology and we love to recycle & upcyle using different items that we have at home. When I saw Moxie Fab's Cool Tools Week - "The Around The House"  Challenge, I just knew I had to enter!

I used coffee filters and...

 a Stampin Up! scallop punch to create the flower on my card.

I love flowers and this was a fun & inexpensive way

to add one to the design.

I had so much fun with this challenge!

Now I've gotta go look for more stuff around the house to play with!

Supplies:

Cardstock & 1-3/4" Scallop Punch: (Stampin Up!); Patterned Paper (October Afternoon - Red Rover, Jump Rope, and Marbles); Corrugated Shape (Jillibean Soup); Button (Crate Paper); Baker's Twine (The Twinery); Misc. Supplies: (Coffee Filters)

Keep It Clean!

I'm kicking off my Monday with the Really Reasonable Ribbon - "Keep It Clean" Challenge. Your mission {if you choose} is to create a CAS card and play along with us {HERE}.

I added an October Afternoon "Helpful Sally" vintage card to the front. I love how she is helping her mommy clean the house. Don'tcha just wish all kids were this eager to clean? (smile)

I also added some beautiful RRR White Crochet Lace and a Creative Charms Red Vintage Poppy to the bottom. I think it keeps the look crisp and clean.

Now what are you waiting for?

Link up your CAS cards today. There's an AWESOME prize up for grabs. And be sure to visit the RRR Store for all of your ribbon goodies.

And be sure to pop over to the LESSology Blog today.
There's another special announcement and
