Burlap Banner Tutorial

Okay...are you ready? As promised:
Here is a quick video tutorial on how I made my burlap banners in this post.

This is what I did with it:

I have loads of these fun abandoned windows in my shed...waiting for new life~thanks to the hubby for being in construction! I added an expired Decor Element crow at the bottom...I wish Stampin' Up! still sold vinyl :(

Please let me know if you have any questions!! See you tomorrow!

Feelin' Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is SO long overdue...but I just finished making a quick video on how to make the above fortune cookie. We made them at my last Stamp Camp for Valentine's Day and now that we are closer to St. Patrick's Day, I decided to make a 'green' one!!

These are simple to make and could be used for any holiday. They would make cute party favors, or as place settings with guests' names printed on the tags. (see video tutorial below).

I grabbed one of my older cameras to take these pictures and inside was an old memory card...as I was looking through them, I came across one that I thought I would share:

Here are my three babies playing in the front yard...look at the 'green' grass!! I can't wait for spring to arrive..it's right around the corner and I am SO excited!!

These pictures just made me smile~ from left: Aiden, Tyler and Regan (Spring 2007)

Here it's all packaged up ready for a co-worker who is moving to PA (Sherri...you will be missed terribly)!! These Kraft gift boxes come in a package of 4...they were featured in the Holiday Mini catalog and are STILL AVAILABLE!! Great for holding a jumbo cupcake, wrapped cookies and so much more!! Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks!!

Here is a close-up:

Please note: the 'good luck' stamp is available to demonstrators sold as Incentive Stamps, this one comes from the set called Fourteen Phrases (116849).

Enjoy the video~

My Second Video Tutorial!!

Yes...finally I made another video tutorial!! I can't believe that it took me as long as it did...but it's here!! Thanks so much for your patience!! In a previous post I shared with you some fabric rosette rings that I made (click here for the post). I had promised to make a video showing how, so today I pulled out our newest fabric from the Occasions Mini Catalog and went to work.

Above you will see the three designs you get from ordering our Springtime Vintage fabric (121817)...they are so much prettier in person. In addition there are some really cute ideas from Stampin' Up! that use this fabric. Click here for a PDF that you can download and use. (There are really cute ideas on there...can't wait to try them myself!!) Promise me you will not laugh...I hope to get better the more I practice...and I am already getting started on the next one!! Hint: Also uses our fabric and great for Valentine's Day gifts!! So here is a close-up picture of the ring (sorry it's a bit blurry...and that my hand is so pale and hmmm...I desperatly need a manicure!!) LOL! But otherwise...enjoy my video!!

My first video!!

As I mentioned in a previous post...quite a few days ago! I was going to upload my very first video..well the wait is over. Just don't laugh too hard at me! A special thanks to Katrina Smith (a new dear friend of mine!) I could not have done it without her. So a HUGE hug to you Katrina!! Now that I know what I'm doing, I plan on working on posting some more real soon, so stay tuned.
