Happy Hump day! WOW, I can't believe I'm doing a post around 4pm my time! Sorry this is very TARDY! hehehehe! Well, I wanted to THANK 2 beautifully talented women who are letting me feature their projects on my blog today! The 1st Guest designer is "The Scrapbooking Queen"!!!!! My 2nd Guest designer is Miss Gaby w/"Gaby Creates"!!!! Both of these AWESOME women made 2 BEAUTIFUL cards in honor of "Breast Cancer Awareness" month! Both of these amazing women used my "Race for a Cure" stamp set for their cards! Please visit both of these ladies blogs because they have LOTS going on that YOU may want to be a part of to help support this cause!
THANK YOU to Miss Gaby AND Miss Theresa for joining me on my blog today! HAve a FABULOUS day everyone & don't forget to visit these lady's blogs & leave them some love!;) See ya all back here tomorrow for another "Throwback Thursday" challenge! xoxo's
Good Morning & HAPPY MONDAY and Happy Columbus Day!;) I'm surprised that my boys don't have today off:( Anyways, I hope all of you had a FABULOUS weekend, I know I did! Welcome to another "Monday Madness....Imagine That"! Well, usually I use my "Imagine" on Mondays.... but, I wanted to use a different pattern paper that I have had for a LONG TIME now! It is a stack by DCWV called "Lace & Linen"! WOW.....what a pretty stack this is & I thought it would be PERFECT for my"rosette pencil" I made today! When I had made my first "Rosette" project HERE I had gotten several emails/FB messages from my bloggy friends wanting to know if there was another cartridge they can use besides "Art Philosophy" to create a similar Rosette like the ones I made HERE! In my video below, I explain to you how to search using "My Cut Search" to find all the borders each cartridge has! The BEST part about this site is that you can see the actual handbook for each cartridge AND they even tell you what page it is on! HOW COOL IS THAT?!!;) You can ALSO search the word "border" using your "Gypsy Girl", but it's not as accurate as "My Cut Search"!
For all of our projects today, I wanted my design team to do something reflecting "Breast Cancer Awareness" month! So we all used my stamp set "Race For a Cure" which...if you purchase this set, $2 of the sales for each stamp set will be donated to the Susan G Komen for the cure!
In lieu of all the questions I received, I decided to do another "Rosette Pencil" using the "Accent Essential" cartridge! I wanted to do something a little different w/this pencil & I thought it came out soo PRETTY!;) I showcased it in a votive holder so you can see how ADORABLE this would look as a centerpiece for ANY occasion! I think these would ALSO look so CUTE as a party favor for a "PRincess" party..... there are soooo many possibilities & I just LOVE IT!;)
My favorite part of my pencil today is the "Tulle", I think it was just the finishing touch!;)
You can see my video HERE how exactly I made these rosettes!;)
I hope you enjoy everything that you saw here today! Please visit my designer's blogs & leave them some much deserved L-O-V-E!;) Have a FABULOUS day & I will see you all back here soon! xoxo's
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 DesignsHERE!;) 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

I have known Miss Veronica for a few years now & I was very lucky to meet her last year @ CHA AND we were even roommates!;) I have never met her Mom "in person", only through blog/internet land but all I have to say is that she is SOO VERY sweet as well! I remember when Veronica & I met up @ CHA, her Mom had given us both these CUTE little Angel charms to keep us both safe while we were in Chicago! I thought that was ADORABLE & very SWEET of her! I still have that charm on my stylus that belongs to my "Gypsy Girl"!
Here is the card Miss Veronica made! Isn't it ADORABLE!!! She used "Just a Little Note to say.." for her sentiment AND the cute banner she stamped it in is from "My One & Only" stamp set!" Thank you Miss Veronica for making such a BEAUTIFUL card!" Don't forget to hop on over to her blog so she can tell you all about that AWESOME Peachy keen stamp she used!;)

Good morning & welcome to another "Monday Madness....Imagine That;) I am SOOO SUPER EXCITED about today's projectss! Since I wasn't able to do a "Friday tip of the day" last week, I decided to squeeze that in w/today's post as well! So if you scroll down, you will see another video w/my "monday tip of the day"!;) Okay, now for my Imagine project, I used "Black & White" imagine cartridge by Teresa Collins for the patterns on my card today! I printed the music background on some red cardstock for the flowers & I printed on some kraft color cardstock w/the diamond background! For the entire rest of the card, I used the cartridge "Art Philosophy"! First of all I want to THANK Miss Melanie over @ Courtney Lane Designs for this AWESOME cartridge! If you like what you see, here is Miss Melanie's link to her BLOG & to her "Close to my Heart" website so you can order a copy for yourself! All I have to say is that I "personally" think that this is the best cartridge out today..."hands down"! You can see how it's done in the video below!;)
Here is a rose/flower by itself! I even added some glossy accents to make it look like there are rain drops on it!!! I LOVE THIS CARTRIDGE!;)
Here is my video showing you how I created my card using my NEW FAVORITE CARTRIDGE EVER...."Art Philosophy"!
Don't forget to visit my design team's blogs to leave them all some MUCH DESERVED L-O-V-E!;)
