April's Crafting Addiction

A rose for a rose, but just a little one....lol

Hi, and good morning to you all. I sure hope your enjoying the flowers I have created. Today, I am sharing with you two little roses. I created these little boogers with the new raspberry ripple cardstock, don't you love that name.., okay back to the list. the fancy flower punch, hot glue, vanilla spritz, gauge wire from the craft store, and bone fold to create the curve of the flower. Let me know if you have any questions. Tutorial coming on This week. Peaches....

I can do anything with a great pair of heels

Just playing around with the My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!.  We have a new version coming out later this year that I know you digital scrapbooker's and cardmaker's will just love.  Stay tuned for more information coming soon. 

I just love shoes, what women doesn't.  Now, I want you to know that YOU CAN DO ANYTHING with anytype of shoe or no shoe, but IT CAN BE A WHOLE LOT BETTER WITH THE RIGHT PAIR OF HEELS.

2) One sheet of cork cut about 2 inches off the bottom

3) Pretty in pink cardstock cut to 2x 8 1/4

4) Lucky limeade cut to 5 1/2 x 4

5) Pretty in pink cut to 5 1/4 x 3 3/4

6) Sticky strip adheres to the back of the cork sheet and use the exacto knife to take off the red tab thing (my use of technical words).  Place sticky strip on all four sides and three in the middle.

7) Place the cork sheet closest to the edge of one side of the lucky limeade

8) Place the pretty in pink strip of paper on the side of the cork sheet

9) Then layer the other pieces of cardstock on top of the cork sheet and stamp your back ground image and use the lucky limeade marker to outline the stamped image

10) Decorate to your liking.  I used the basic pearl jewel, spritz spray,  big shot and the alphabet simple letters and spelled out NOTES and then adhered the letters with snail.
