Happily Ever After!

With Spring just around the corner, it also means the popular "wedding season" is also approaching. Here is a card made by my friend, Jan Garrett, using the "Ever After" set to make a wedding card. That set is so dainty and pretty and just the perfect touch for weddings, Valentine's Day, Anniversaries and so much more!

A Resounding Success!

We want to thank everyone, including the scrappers and vendors, who came out to our 6th Annual Scrapbooking and Stamping Day in Arkona. It was a HUGE success and everyone had a LOT of fun!

Be sure you book your spot for next year, as it sells out quickly!

Paper Daisies

Have you tried the Paper Daisies yet? They are really cool paper flowers (come in a pack of 40: 4 sizes of 10 each) and the really neat thing about them is that they are white and you can use any colour of ink or marker to colour them (either colour directly on them with marker or dip them in a mixture of ink and water, or sponge ink onto them, etc...there are tons of possibilities!).

Here is a pretty card we made using them. The colour is very faint in the photo, but we applied it by lightly dabbing it with a sponge...

Here is a closeup to show a little better view of the sponging...

Paper Tearing

Here is a card made from the beautiful new set called "Nature Walk" from the 2011 Occasion Mini Catalogue. We layered it on 4 pieces of torn paper for a very simple yet dramatic effect!

Framed Tulips

This card uses the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder called "Framed Tulips". Doesn't that add a pretty touch to the outside of the card.

Another pretty touch is the hatpin stuck through the ribbon, with pearls and beads from the "Pretties Kit".
