Today and tomorrow, Heidi and I are bringing you something new, different, and totally fun! It’s a font challenge. Here’s how it works. Each of us has created a project for you, and we are going to show it to you using 3 different fonts. My project is a layout, so I am going to [...]
Speaking only for myself (Alyssa) and Heidi (of course!), we love doing really fun and different things. We love stretching ourselves, trying things we haven’t tried before. This applies to our paper crafting as well. So today, we are bravely bringing you our latest experiment in the unusual: a layout we created together. Yes, together.
I started this layout about [...]
Today I have a few more 100% Cardstock projects for you. It is a challenge, that is for sure… but it can be done, with surprisingly fun results!
Natalie made this card using the H2o Monochromatic Family:
I made this layout using primarily the Silk Road Monochromatic Family. Remember that artsy paper tutorial from a few weeks [...]
This month we decided to REALLY challenge the Design Team. The challenge was this: to create a layout, still true to your style, using 100% Couture Cardstock! We could ink it, paint it, tear it, and gloss it. We could print on it, punch it, doodle, and scrunch. As long as the team was only [...]
As a mother, I am constantly reminded of how easy it is to lose sight of what my job is, of what I want to teach my children. It’s easy to get caught up in the 2,487 peanut butter sandwiches and the 4,869 dirty diapers and the 25,554.6 toys I have picked up. It’s is [...]
Ever think about sending a friend a “just because” gift? I have done it a few times recently and I love it. I love the joy it brings the other person, even if it is a small gift or just a card. Today, Kimberly is sharing with us a little special something that she made using My [...]
Last November, I was visiting my in-laws for Thanksgiving when I spotted this rose. Here in the Midwest, it is very uncommon to see roses still in bloom in November, so I stopped to snap a photo. The Seduction Monochromatic Family was perfect for scrapping this gem of a photo. I combined it with some [...]
This week I’m using the H2O Monochromatic Family of cardstock again and I chose to coordinate it with Cosmo Cricket’s Early Bird 6×6 paper. The image from My Favorite Things, called Chick Flick, is so fun and reminds me of movie nights with friends, with everyone dressed in their pajamas or casual clothes. That gave me the idea to try [...]
Vee is back today! This time she has a beautiful project from My Time Made Easy to share with you. She used one of their card-holder templates, the Card Catch All, and re-invented it as a photo holder! I can see myself stealing this fabulous idea and using it to hold the photos on my [...]
My card today is a little different for me but I kinda like it! For me, trying new things is half the fun of paper crafting. I am excited to be working with the H2O Monochromatic Family and I’ve used my personal favorites on my card today, Oasis and Lagoon. The are very close [...]
