More Best of Birthdays

Here's the second card made with the limited edition Best of Birthdays stamp set!  This is a small 3 x 3 card done on Crumb Cake and Real Red cardstock with white embossing powder and some white gel pen stitching.  I stamped the gift and sentiment in white craft ink and embossed in white embossing powder, layered the Crumb Cake and crumbled the top layer and distressed the edges.  On a scrap piece of Real Red cardstock, I embossed and then cut out the image and glued it on the Crumb Cake.  Just a fun pop of color on a little note card!  This is still available along with the Best of Love stamp set for February.  If you are interested in hosting a workshop, I would be happy to work with you to tailor a workshop to fit with the needs of your friends and family.

Lots of birthdays to celebrate this month!

My Digital Studio video--Faux Washi Tape

Sorry it's taken me so long to post this video.  I had it mostly done a few weeks ago, but with the loss of my step-mom, everything went on the back burner.  So here is the video that some of you were asking about: how to make faux washi tape like I had on my christmas scrapbook page.

I hope you enjoy this video, I have one more to come this week, so check back often.  Thanks for watching!

Sweet Sabbath

I am especially grateful for this Sabbath Day!  It's been a very long, sad/happy week and I am looking forward to the love and warmth I feel when I am with my ward family.  The prayers offered on my family's behalf have comforted me, calmed me, and strengthened me.
I spent 4 days this week in St. George, in the farthest Southwest corner of Utah.  Every time I drive into Utah and see the beautiful red rocks and mesas I am still amazed.  All over Utah there is spectacular scenery, but in Southern Utah, you just can't deny that God created all this loveliness.  It really earns the nickname "Color Country"!  I hope you enjoy the music and scenery in this video.

Have a beautiful Sabbath!

Lots More Love

Ok, so I don't know about you, but I get bored really quick with the decorations around my house--I have to change things up occasionally.  Last year, I made my Love one Another poster and I actually had it up most of the year, at least until Halloween.  So, I decided I would do something different.  This is what I came up with...

Download

I used three digital components: Lots of Love stamp, Bunch of Backgrounds overlay, and Naturals Composition overlay.  I chose the color of the background using the HSB color picker because I was trying for a certain color of wood (teak).  It's not exact, but I think it goes pretty well with our furnishings, though I think eventually I will get a different frame. I designed it as a 5 x 7 but I printed it as a 16 x 20 poster.  I have to admit, it turned out better than I thought it would!!

Wishing you lots of love!

Valentine's is coming. Don't blow it!

Happy Groundhog Day!  Is it just me or is this a COMPLETELY useless holiday?  Seriously!!  But it reminds you that you have 12 days until Valentine's Day!  Yep, that's all, folks!  So guys, don't blow it!
You can order this great kit that should help cover a plethora of occasions.
Dude, You're Welcome!!

There's still time...
