Friday Tip of the Day! ~ Episode 256

HAPPY HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I thought this day would never come!;)

For today's "Tip of the Day", I decided to show you another way to use these pretty rosettes! This was my FIRST time making them & they were a lot of fun to make! I used the "Art Philosophy" cartridge for the borders. If you haven't picked up YOUR copy of the "Art Philosophy" yet, you can purchase it from Miss Melanie w/Courtney Lane Designs HERE!;) I promise you, this cart is an AWESOME one!;) Tell your hubby's now that you would like it in YOUR Christmas stocking this year!;)

Okay, is this not the perfect gift for your teacher, office staff, co-worker OR take them out of the little bucket & give them to your kids' classmates for Halloween! For the sentiment, I used "Mixed Holiday Sentiments" and I also used it w/my "Curly Label Die"! The border stamp inside of the die is from "Inspiring Words Accents" stamp set!

Here is a video for you!;

More pictures of all 3 close up! I am so happy w/how they came out!;)

Here is what the "Rosette Pencils" looks like by itself!!! I am TOTALLY going to make these for "MY" own desk!;) hehehehe!;) 

Well, I hope you enjoyed my super easy FUN tip of the day! Let me know what you think of these and will YOU being making some "Rosette Pencils/Pens"?;) Have a FABULOUS weekend & I will see you back here Monday morning! xoxo's

Imagine Nation Monday!

HAPPY MONDAY & welcome to another Imagine Nation Monday! I hope all of you had a FABULOUS weekend! I was SO HAPPY HAPPY to actually get away for a few days to Tahoe! It was LOTS of fun, but it feels GREAT to be back home! Being gone for 2 1/2 days is enough for us to be away! My boys, my hubby & I couldn't wait to see our furry babies, we missed them ALOT! Thank God my parents were here to babysit them;)

Okay, for today, I have two VERY TALENTED ladies joining me! They are: Miss Cindy & Miss Leanne!;)

Here is my card for today! I used my brand new FAVORITE imagine cart "Black & White"! OMG, the pattern paper in this cart are all BEAUTIFUL & I just KNEW this was going to become a FAVE of mine REAL QUICK!;)  What I did was cut the square pattern paper @ 3.5 in & I cut another @ 3.2 in! I used the 3.2 in one to use my die with! I got to play again w/my new die "Curly Label" for my card today! For all the sentiments I used "Inspiring Words" & for the frame stamp bordering my die is from "Inspiring Words {Accents}"! Then I added some sheer black ribbon, a button, twine & some bling to finish it off!

Here is another view of it!;)

Here is Miss Cindy's PERFECT card using "This & That"!

Here is Miss Leanne's PRETTY giftbag & she used "Encouraging Quotes" stamp set!

I hope you enjoyed what you seen here today! Don't forget to stop by Miss Cindy's & Miss Leanne's blog & leave them some love!;) I will see you all back here tomorrow for another fun Peachy Keen challenge!;) Thank you for stopping by & have a FABULOUS day my sweet friends! xoxoxo's

Imagine Nation Monday!

Happy 4th of July & welcome to another Imagine Monday!  After I had already made my card, I realized that I actually should've made a 4th of July project!! LOL....... I thought about it way too late! So for my super simple card today, I used one of my favorite imagine carts called "Vintage Papers"! This is such a fun pattern cartridge so if you are ever in a bind to make a "Manly" card, this is the cartridge for "You"!;)

Basically, I just cut out a shape that was already in the Imagine machine itself & layered it onto my favorite Kraft cardstock & a blue color cardstock all from Papertrey Ink.! For the sentiment, I used "2" stamp sets, "Inspiring Words" & "Inspiring Words {Accents}". I also used my new die "Curly Label" which I thought went absolutely perfect w/my card today!

Here is a close-up of how my sentiments look in the "Curly Label" die~! The sentiment "Hero" is from the stamp set "Inspiring Words" & the quote below it & the outline stamp is from the stamp set "Inspiring Words {Accents}" Isn't it pretty? I just LOVE it!;)

Okay, now onto my design team member Miss Cindy Lee! For her AWESOME card today, she is showcasing my stamp set called: "Encouraging Quotes"! Isn't this the PERFECT card to go w/the sentiment? I sure do think so! Check out Miss Cindy's blog HERE to see how she created this "masterpiece"!

Thank you for stopping by once again! Don't forget to check back tomorrow! I am a guest designer for Miss Ruthie & I created a SUPER "SWEET" card for her "Tacky Tuesday's challenge"! See ya back here tomorrow & stay cool out there, it's going to be another HOT ONE today! xoxoxo's
