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.

It’s going to be quiet around here for most of this week, as I’m working on something a little bigger than usual for you.
Enjoy the photo teaser above and I hope to see you Thursday!

Occasions Mini highlights-part 1
Posted by: | Comments
All this week, I’ll be sharing projects that I’ve prepared for a special Occasions Mini class next month. There are SO MANY amazing products in this mini catalogue, it just seemed fitting to use as many as I could for one class!
Because of the long weekend, I lost a day in my week, so I’ll be sharing 2 of the projects today:
You should know just how much I love this stamp set – Easter Blossoms- that’s why I showcased it first! I also used Springtime Vintage DSP which pairs so well with the set. I loved Lisa Young’s card layout here, and made it my own for this class.
This is a fun little box created with the Petal Cone die. Also from the mini, I used the Eat Chocolate stamp set. Thanks to Kim Sinclair, one of my new stamping friends, for the idea!
See you tomorrow with another project!
TTFN!

Leadership Gifts
Posted by: | CommentsWhat an amazing day at Leadership conference today! We were exposed to non-stop fun and excitement, which lasted about 14 hours! I’m happy to be sitting in my very quiet hotel room writing this very short post before I crash into my bed! Incidentally, our hotel room has a king sized bed in it, with one of those “sleep number” mattresses.
You know the ones, you can decide how soft or hard you want each side of the mattress to be…
Well, I picked a number out of a hat last night as I was laying there…it felt like a good choice at the time…
…this morning, my lower back was screaming at me!! I’ll choose a different number tonight and see how it goes…
…I’m just anxious to get back to my own bed with my memory foam top…
…moving on…
Here is a little something I made for Becky Roberts and Kim Sinclair, my leadership buddies this week (please excuse the bad hotel lighting for these photos):
I made them each a Trapezoid Purse and filled them with Coffee Crisp chocolate bars – they apparently don’t have these in the US.
Supplies used:
Stamps – Eat Chocolate
Paper and Ink – Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Pawsitively Prints II DSP, Chocolate Chip
Accessories – Pear Pizzazz poly-stitched ribbon, 1 3/4″circle punch, Scallop Die #2 and Big Shot, 1/8″hole punch, dimensionals
TTFN!
