Look at them Grow Scrapbook page

Using the ideas in the flowers over the fence card, I then created a scrapbook page.

Here I choose to color a sky background using a sponge and Baja Breeze Classic Ink.

For my lettering I used my Big Shot with the Naturally Serif Decorative die and Go Go Boots Alphabet sizzlit dies. A must have!

Then you cut letters in any color you choose and you won't run out of vowels. Just cut more.

I layered pieces to give more dimensional look.

Flowers over the fence

Last night while over at Lorries, stamping into the wee hours. Debbie shows me a card. It was one her sister sent her a while ago. It had retired stamps on it, but it was a great idea that totally inspired me. 

I looked around the room and saw the perfect set to use. Best Wishes & More.

The fence is created using stamping a piece of Creamy Caramel card stock with the Sanded Background stamp using Close to Cocoa Classic Ink then punch out the smaller tag punch and sponge around the edge using Close to Cocoa Classic Ink. 

I LOvE it! Just totally neat. 

Thanks Debbie and your sister, too for sending it to you!

How did I make my weaved basket from paper?

Several have asked how I made my basket.
Well, I used a quick simple technique to get the weave started.

First I placed 4 strips

  
 

then 4 more 

then 3 more

and finally I only had to weave the last 3. 

Pushing them all into the center. 

Flip it over. Take a piece of 3 1/4" square to cover the centers and make it easier to fold the strips up. 

Now you are ready to start weaving strips around the box.

I adhered each corner before turning to the next side this will give it strength.

After doing 4 strips high

I then cut off any excess paper on the top so I could place 4 Scallop envelope together as a box inside by basket. To finish off this basket I used a 3/4" strip folded in half to go around the top edge. Add the rest of your embellishments (ribbon, brads etc). 

Happy Crafting

To Have and to Hold

Here is a simple wedding card using the To Have and to Hold Stamp Set. 

I stamped the image on Whisper White with Basic Brown classic ink because it is waterproof and allows me to water color with out the image bleeding. 

Using Very Vanilla craft ink, Close to Cocoa and Sage Shadow classic ink I was able to color in the image.
