Don't Peek!

Happy TGIF to you!!! This week sure flew by! I loved having Wednesday off....and only having 4 days of work.....or in my case 3, since I had a sick day too!

I have been loving all the notepads that the Papertrey DT has been showing and decided to give this a try. I used my JustRite stamp set called Tiny Words and Borders (1 3/16), for the sentiment. I used Basic Grey paper to cover the note pad. I had a bunch of plastic snowflakes from last year's Christmas, (Yep....I don't throw anything away!), and incorporated it on the cover under the sentiment. I also added a felt snowflake that I glittered up, and placed it on top of the plastic snowflake.

I just noticed that my sentiment is slightly crooked in this pic! : )

I glued a satin ribbon all the way around so the notepad can be tied and closed.

At least in this picture you can't tell that it's a bit crooked!

If you live in the Chicagoland area, I would love for you to visit me at Craft Fancy this Saturday. They are having a Holiday Hoopla party with free Make n Takes (one done by me) and the other by, Beth Pingery, from Spellbinders. There are tons of new products and lots of sales in the store! I would love it if you could stop by! : )

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Mouse Party Continued!

I am so lovin' these sweet mouse images from Crafty Secrets! (Available today!) I had a bunch of Melissa Frances paper sitting on my desk and decided to use the pieces on my card. I colored the images with my Copics, used my Nestibilities, and inked the edges a bit to give it an old fashioned feel. I finished the card off with a pretty satin ribbon and button.

Don't forget, if you live in the Chicagoland area, you NEED to stop by Craft Fancy for their ONE year anniversary tomorrow! If you would like more info, click HERE! Hope to see you there!

Wish I were by the Ocean.....and a Grand Opening!

Last week Darlene hosted Crafty Secret's Challenge to make a "Summer" card. So what better set than to use than their Seaside set. I stamped directly on the tag and then colored the image in with my Prismas and Gamsol. I distressed the edges using Old Paper ink. The paper is also by Crafty Secrets. I sanded that down to distress it a bit. I tied some cream colored floss around the end of the tag and added this little starfish to it.

If you live anywhere near Arlington Heights, IL stop by this weekend for Craft Fancy's GRAND OPENING!! There will be Make 'n Takes and demonstrations going on both days! This store is packed with all kinds of brand new products!!! I will be helping out on Sunday, so stop on by and say, "Hello!"

Well, wish me luck......I might be getting my van back today.....keeping my fingers crossed!!! I am so tired of feeling stranded!!! (Otherwise it is a looooooooong walk to ARlington Heights! LOL)

What I Did This Weekend....

If you haven't seen Sex and the City, you NEED to! It was soooooo good! I went Friday night with my scrapbooking girlfriends. (Sharon from Dew Drop Inn Designs and my other gals who don't have blogs). It was a fun girl's night out with drinks, food, and a lot of laughs!
On Saturday, I drove up to Arlington Heights, IL to help Simone and Carol with their new store, Craft Fancy. It is opening up on June 9th. It is such a gorgeous store with tons and tons of brand new products! Check out the blog for more info! An on- line store will be opening soon......
