I've had several of you ask if I was going to be listing any Valentine's Day cards in my Etsy shop. I just thought I'd pop in and let you know that I just filled my shop with Valentine goodies. This will very likely be all that I list for this Valentine's Day!
Check out my shop HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy February! The first of the month means it's once again time for the Papertrey Ink Sr Team challenge. This month we are focusing on the Fillable Frames series. Nichole challenged each of us to pick our favorite set and die from the series and create a couple of projects using them!
I chose Fillable Frames #10. I love the classic and elegant feel this frame shape has. I've used this set a ton for lots of different projects. So many sentiments from other sets fit inside that pretty frame.
Here is the first card using Fillable Frames #10. I combined Mega Mehndi Medallion and a little creative stamping to create a fresh new doily-like image. Can you pick out the frame images in the background? I'll show you a step-by-step in a minute. ;-)
For the sentiment, I diecut two Fillable Frame #10 shapes, one from patterned paper and one from cardstock. I cut a window in the patterned paper shape using the Tea for Two label, then stamped the sentiment onto the cardstock shape. I layered them with some foam tape and the result is kind of a fun dimensional sentiment.
For my second card, I used the Fillable Frame image and diecut as my focal point. To create a larger mat for the front label I diecut a second frame and cut it in half. I seperated the halves by a strip of patterned paper to create the larger mat layer.
I used the same Mehndi Medallion image stamped behind my sentiment.
That's it for my projects today, but here are a few step-by-step shots of how I created the doilies on the first card.
Start by stamping the frame.
Stamp a second frame aligning the corners as shown with the red arrows...
Stamp a third frame nestling it between the first two. (reminds of the spirograph pictures I used to make when I was a kid!)
Finish it off by stamping this image from Mehndi Medallion which fits nicely inside the opening in the center. And that's it!
Be sure to hop around to the other team members to see what they chose as their favorite Fillable Frame set and the projects they created with it!

Hello and welcome to my last day of Fancy Pants CHA product shares! Today the new collection Soul Surfer is featured on the Fancy Pants blog. Click on over to check out the amazing summery projects the team created with this new collection.
I created a scrapbook page and a card with this new line. First up is the scrapbook page - these photos were taken of my son on the same trip as the photos from my last post. I love that they are releasing both boyish and girly summer collections.
I was chuckling when I realized that this collection matched my son's swim trunks perfectly...almost like it was made to match. So funny. I used the 12x12 printed transparency from the collection as an overlay over a large photo. It made this layout come together very quickly. I added a couple of other small photos and clusters of embellishments and I was all set!
And a card. This collection is perfect for cards as well. I'm loving the colors and patterns for boy cards especially.
Thanks for stopping by!

TGIF! I'm just popping in very quickly to share another project using one of the new Fancy Pants lines. The collection of the day is Summer Soul. You can hop on over to the Fancy Pants blog to see what the team has created using this vibrant, sun-drenched collection.
Here's a layout I made of my older daughter during our trip to the east coast a couple of summers ago..Swimming with the jellies (said in my best Crush from Nemo voice...)
The water was filled with jellyfish and the kids were really scared at first. I mean, we live in Iowa. We don't know anything about swimming in the ocean. All we've heard is that jellyfish sting. And it hurts. So they were scared. But then we saw kids catching them and holding them. They were dead and missing their tentacles. Turns out Marlin was right...Dory, the tops, the tops! Only touch the tops! Sorry...another Nemo reference. I can't help it...it's my all-time favorite kid's movie. :-) My older daughter is the most adventurous one of the bunch and it didn't take her long before she was picking them up and holding them.
I used lots of the glitter transparencies here as well as the papers and chipboard. Such fun, summer colors that make me long for some summer sunshine and afternoons at the pool!
That's all for today...thanks for stopping by!
All supplies from the Fancy Pants Summer Soul collection, available February 2012.
