"Grateful" Banner for home decor!



Hello friends and happy Tuesday!

My project today is a banner I created for this Thanksgiving featuring Graphic 45's Steampunk Debutante DCE and French Country paper collections. Each year, I'm thankful for the love of family, the support of friends and for my health and happiness! I created a "Grateful" banner to represent things I'm thankful for this season and always. :-)

See ya over there! ♥

Altered Printers Tray & Video Tutorial




Hello friends! 

Today I have an altered printers tray to share with you, featuring Graphic 45's Rare Oddities paper collection. It's the perfect collection for your Fall and Halloween crafting projects this season!

We had an opportunity to play with the Art-C Groove Tool this month, which I used on this project to distress the printer's tray, ink the papers and sand the chipboard pieces. What an amazing little gadget! If you are not familiar with the Groove Tool, be sure to check out my video tutorial linked below. ♥

First let me share some photos with you:

Christmas Carol Christmas cards and Tutorial!




Hello friends and happy Saturday! ♥

Run and grab your crafting supplies and a cup of coffee. I hope today's post inspires you to get started early on your handmade Christmas cards this year!

My cards feature Graphic 45's new Christmas Carol paper collection. This collection takes me back in time to my childhood days when A Christmas Carol would be playing all day long on the television, with the smell of warm apple pie in the oven and the crinkling of gift wrap from annual Christmas gift wrapping sessions with Mom.  

Here are some pictures of the cards I created. And don't go too far, I have a video tutorial for one of the cards linked below! :-)










Here is the video tutorial to help get you kicked into gear to create some Christmas cards! ♥
