My stamp room and I have big plans today…please send creative festive-filled vibes for a successful play date.
I’ll report back…
I do know for sure that the above card has made the cut – I love it!! I was inspired by the ever talented and brilliant Wendy Weixler of Wickedly Wonderful Creations. Her card is here.

New Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial available today!
Posted by: | Comments
While previewing the new Summer Mini Catalogue last month, I was inspired by the new Designer Series Paper pack, Beyond the Garden, to create some beach themed items. Beach bags immediately came to mind!
I always seem to be collecting a new beach bag every year (mostly cause I can’t find the previous year’s one!) and I love the fun bright colors they all have and of course, their capacity to hold lots of items for a day outdoors. So, to stay true to the purpose of a real beach tote bag, I created these three replicas keeping space in mind.
All three totes are large and strong enough to be used as gift bags for that special summer or Hawaiian themed party:
*** Flower Rimmed Wild Wasabi tote measures 8 1/2″ wide at the top, 7″tall excluding handle (11″with handle) and is 2″ deep
*** Daffodil Delight Nautical Striped tote measures 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and is 2″ deep
*** Round Clutch Handle tote measures 7 1/2″ long, is 6″high and 1 1/2″ deep
Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial includes:
15 pages of written instructions and measurements to complete all three projects
40 step by step photos to assist you in recreating the projects
$3.99 CAD
The tutorial will be emailed to you as a PDF file following your purchase through PayPal.

Enjoy the photo teaser above and I hope to see you Thursday!

Tote Bags
Posted by: | Comments
There may not be any stamping involved in this project, but Stampin’ Up! sure provided us some great products to play with in the Occasions Mini Catalogue!
I admired all the tote bags I saw at Leadership back in January, and decided I needed to try making a few. Did you know that you could create a tote bag without cutting and carefully measuring pieces? Yes you can! You cut out scallop squares with the Big Shot and sew them together. I used the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric found on page 16. The colors in this fabric as well as the matching DSP, are delicious!
I’d love to hear if you have tried using either of the fabric offerings in the Occasions Mini. What have you used it for?
TTFN!
