Amazing Paper Grace

I’m back with a twist on the Circle Medallion tutorial that I put out some time ago.  I guess it never occurred to me that it would be just as easy to make it with a square or rectangle.  If you’re tired of going around in circles, here’s another frame type to add to your […]

 
Many of you remember that I removed all my ribbon off of spools and rolled it onto matboard bobbins so that I could decrease the huge storage space that rolls command.  (Check out this post to see what I mean. ) Well as I re-rolled the ribbon, I had many empty spools left over and […]

My word, I simply don’t know where to start - this is going to be a very long post, I hope you’ll hang out with me until I get to the end.   I feel like today is my birthday or anniversary — you get the idea, it’s a really special day.  Why you ask?  Well, […]

Okay, I may be getting used to this video stuff now.  I spent the day running errands and the entire evening baking goodies for my family.  Two quiches and one pineapple upside down cake later I sat down to decide what to post for Thursday.  It was so much easier for me to make a […]

How many of you purchased those small Cuttlebug embossing folders and then were disappointed that their use was limited?  Yeah, me too.  It seems that you couldn’t really bite in far enough to get the image where you wanted it and some of them have an orientation that limits their use as well.  I’ve been […]

You all have been so patient!!  Thank you for hanging in there with me.  I had a little bit of a backwards week with several days of migraines.  No, I’m fine now in fact better than ever.  Perplexed about last week though as I rarely get headaches, so they had me put down good.  I’ve […]

 
I’ve created a video tutorial to show how to make the Triangle Box shown above.  It is not a complicated box but the video does take more than several minutes. I did not know that YouTube had a 10 minute limit so the tutorial had to be broken up into two parts.  You can see […]

Oh my goodness, I did not anticipate the response to the card I posted yesterday for the Friends of Flourishes announcement.  Can I just say that I have the most wonderful readers…no, I really, really mean it!  This blog has been a blessing to me; it has really kept me engaged, optimistic and grateful.  Grateful […]

With my last post, I used distress ink applicators that I made because they fit into my stamping budget.  Yep, I can’t afford to buy handles and blender pads (Cut n’ Dry foam)  for my Distress Ink colors right now.  I love these applicators that I made tho’ - I still used the Cut n’ […]

 
I was playing around tonight with my newest petite scalloped Nestabilities and came up with a flower using the smallest oval as the petals.  After playing around with it for a while and adding layers, I finished off the flower and then didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with it.  It’s rather large, […]
