Card for Challenge

Thursday, April 28, 2011
We have had rain for days and days so I decided to do a cheerful card for this weeks challenge.
The new Webster Pages Ladies and Gents paper was used for the background.  My new Lattice Doily Die was cut smaller and a vine from Martha Stewart's Vine punch was use trailing up the right side.

I am testing some new Prima Flowers and thought these looked very nice on the Lattice. Birch leaves were punched as well as some butterflies which were stacked and added.    A pretty silk bow gave the card it's final touch.

Joan's Gardens #16 Weekly Tag Challenge

Tuesday, April 26, 2011
And the winner of last weeks Tag Challenge is ~~~~~Linda P.  Congratulations Linda!!!  Please view her tag here.  Thanks to everyone who joined us for last week's Challenge


My tags for this week's challenge are different than any I have done before.  I have a new line of products that I will soon be introducing called Kanban. All of these items are foiled die-cut punch-out embellishments and are gorgeous.  There are many different designs too. All items are acid and lignin free.   My Granddaughters will love these and they were sure fun to design.

I started out with Ranger's tag an added several different distressed inks to get the right color.  I also added DG3 Art Gel (shown under tools) which gives the tag a classy look to go along with the embellishments.  Then I decided which embellishments I wanted to use and how I wanted them placed on the tag.  I loved the look when I was done.What do you think?They run between  $2.50 and $3.60 per package and there are lots of different designs.





Making your Tag: You have until Sunday, May 1, 9:00 PM to enter the Tag Challenge. Anything goes. You can make whatever kind of tag you want to make, any color, use any stamp...your own thing. Then once the time ends to enter a tag, the voting will start and will last until Tuesday morning May 3, 6:00 AM.

He is Risen!

Sunday, April 24, 2011
He is Risen! 
Jesus Christ has Risen and gives us the opportunity for eternal life if we believe in Him!

John 3:16 (New International Version, ©2011) 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

What a day to celebrate and worship Him.  Jon and I wish you a blessed Easter Day and we hope you have been  able to be with your family. 

We just returned from Michigan and we had such a fantastic day.  First we went to church with our daughter and family, then to their house for a fabulous meal.  It was beautiful and the kids were able to play outside.  It sure has been a great day and I hope yours has been the same.

Tim Holtz Catalog - WOW

Friday, April 22, 2011
I am thrilled to present to you a catalog  featuring the most popular designer in our industry.- The Tim Holtz Flip City Catalog link. You will be able to view ALL of Tim's products. Of course, I am not able to stock  everything in the catalog, but I will be happy to special order it for you if I don't have it and unless it is on back order I will receive it quickly.


All you have to do is click here.  Click on the top arrow that takes you from page to page.  You can also increase the size with the plus button at the top and you can move the page around to see what you want to see  in large script by simply putting your mouse on the page and moving it to the area you want to read.
Then, once you have viewed the items you want to view, click on the minus button at the top so you can return to the full page.  If you need help, please email or call 574 656 3663 and I can walk you through it.

The retail prices are listed, but many times my prices are less than the MSRP prices.  Don't hesitate to ask.
This is such a fabulous opportunity and certainly saves time and space on my web site. 
This link will always be listed at the top of the Tim Holtz Tab on the right side where it says Tim Holtz.


I have been working each day to update the Items in the Store so everything is current and easier to find.  I am not one third of the way done, but I will get there eventualy.

I hope you enjoy this new catalog and please let me know if you would like to place an order.

Card for Challenge

Thursday, April 21, 2011
My card for this week's Challenge is very simple without a lot of embellishments on it.  I wanted the message to be the focal point as I am sending it to our Grandson who lives in Ohio.  I tried added other things, but it took away from the impact of the crosses.  Gold cardstock was used for the border and looks gorgeous, but it does not photograph well at all.

Tag Challenge

Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Olga was last weeks Tag winner with the most votes for her Tag.  Congratulations Olga.  A big thanks to everyone who joined us last week and  we hope you will join us this week for the weekly Tag Challenge.

My tag this week was lots of fun to make.  I had some new toys to play with and how fun is that!
I started out using a Rangers Tag and covered it with my new Moulin Rouge Paper by Prima.  I had already made the Camellia flower one night while watching TV with Jon, so that was ready to go.  Punches used were the Begonia, large and small Ovoid, and a medium snowflake for the base.  The lattice work is a new Lattice die by my Doily Die Company and I folded a Kiwi Doily die in half for the background of the flower.
