Hey All!!

Welcome to the Damask Divas October Blog Hop!

This month, we are featuring the Laughing Lola paper pack!

You should of arrived from LILLIAN'S blog, but if you did not, you can always go to the DAMASK DIVAS blog!!

For my project today, I wanted to incorporate a pattern that I found in the Originals Book that I received in my hostess kit! This book is AWESOME for when you have a creative block! I literally opened the front of the book, closed my eyes, and aimed. The card recipe that my finger landed on happened to be a 3 X 3 card (which is TOTALLY out of my comfort zone), and I decided it was time to try a new non A2 sized card! 

Here is a few pictures of what my card looks like:

My card

Up close shot of the embossing done

I just LOVE that saying! Perfect to give to a woman to cheer her up! LOL!

The recipe for my card is as follows:

~3 X 6 (Card Base) Score at 3 inches on the 6 inch side. Emboss      the card front with clear embossing powder. 

~1 X 3 strip of coordinating Laughing Lola. Ink edges in Black.

~1 1/4 X 1 1/4 square of coordinating Laughing Lola. Ink edges.

~Stamp PERFECT 10 from Paisley Perfect Pair onto the 1 1/4 inch   square (FREE in the $49 start up box!)
~1/2 x 6 inch strip cut in half for banner behind square. Ink edges.
~Adhere all pieces to card front
~Add flair buttons to front of card 

Supplies: 

~Laughing Lola Workshop on the Go Kit (GUESS WHAT..that ALSO came in my welcome kit! YEA!) G1065

~Black Ink Z2105 (In kit)

Hey All!!!

Welcome to the Back To School Blog Hop!!! 

You should of arrived at my blog from LORI'S blog, but if you did not, no worries! Just start back at LISA'S blog!!!

Today, we are celebrating going back to school! I know there was A LOT of talk about going back to school in my house the last few weeks because it was a brand new school for my little guy! He was SO excited to see which of his friends were gonna be in his class, and I  was just happy that we are walking distance to our school! But, the first day went great (I only cried a bit..lol) and my guy is now back into the swing of school!!! Here he is in his all ready for school outfit and new sneaks! He so stinking cute if you ask me!! :) 

As for me with school, I remember the highlight of going back to school was in high school with my girlfriends. We would go in extra early the first day and decorate each others lockers. We also did it for each others birthdays! We used ANYTHING we could find..wrapper paper, paper bags, toilet paper, pages from books, streamers, etc! It was ALWAYS so much fun to see what we all used! 

So, for my project today, I made a locker to bring me back to high school memories!!!

Supplies:

Silhouette Cameo

Silhouette online store 3D Locker

Recollections Paper

Jaded Blossom Lunch Box Notes 2

Cocoa Stamp Pad

Recollections Washi Tape
