Tag it Tuesday!

Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to another  "Tag it Tuesday!" This is my FAVORITE day because I LOVE tags!

So I took the word dies from my "You Make My Heart Smile" & I just added another 'e' to Bee so it can go w/the theme! ;) Now that I am looking at it, I TOTALLY forgot to add my tiny heart to it! Oh WELL, I am not taking another picture! lol….. I explain in my video below how I put it together!

AND I ALSO show you my new toy!!! You are going to LOVE "her!"

Trending Now Thursday ~ Wood & Lace!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Trending Now"! 

I was able to sneak in my craft room while my boys were both napping! They are still under the weather, but getting a little better! THANK YOU for your get well wishes for them! ;) 

Okay for our cards today, we have incorporated some kind of lace & wood! It didn't necessarily have to be actual "wood", some of us also used a woodgrain background as well!

For my card, I was able to wipe the dust off of my veneer wood paper I had picked up from Joann's about 4 or 5 years ago! lol…. I was holding on to it & just KNEW I would use it eventually! ;) I LOVE this stuff because this material cuts w/my dies BEAUTIFULLY! I couldn't find a link to this particular paper, but thanks to my team member Miss Nikki, found some HERE if you want to try it out! 

I LOVE this stuff because you can also heat emboss it too! I'm not sure if you can see it or not,  but I used my Grainy Wood Background stamp & heat embossed it onto that piece of veneer wood that everything is layered on top of! I used a embossing powder from WOW -Vintage Champagne & you can find it HERE!

Thrifty Thursday

GOOD MORNING my creative friends! Welcome to a brand new segment on my blog called "Thrifty Thursday"!  I was EXCITED for this one! We decided we would alternate the Thursdays in between the challenges! This is how it works, we have to make a project using "SCRAPS" that could be on our craft table or some scraps you have stashed away!  I think I cheated because I actually used a brand new yellow "jute"! oooops...Sorry! I didn't realize it until I was already done w/my card! But everything else were scraps, I promise you! lol.....

For the DAD sentiment, I added some black stickles.

 The DAD sentiment along w/the sentiment below, they are from "Here's Lookin at You" stamp set!

Here is the inside of my card! I also used some more scraps from the Teresa Collins "Now & Then" 6x6 pad along w/a scrap of Vanilla cardstock!  The sentiment from "100% Sweetness" stamp set.

Here is my video for you today!

Another great set of cards!! When you first look at them they look like there's so much too them, but when you really study them you see how simple the design is. What makes them look so great is the materials used, the color scheme, & the creativeness you put into each card! amazing job!
