♥wow, has it been t.h.a.t long?♥

i can not believe it's been more than a month since i have posted on here.  the last couple of months are always incredibly, incredibly busy for us, but WOW a month?  i am finished with teacher appreciation gifts for hubby's amazing staff and so now i feel like i can catch up with my blog, on a regular basis.  i have missed sharing here, but with end of school year, 4 kids, traveling basketball, secretary's day, and teacher appreciation week, it just got away from me.

do you feel it too?  the build up to summer i suppose....smile

where to start when there's so much?  how about a tutorial to start with using the 

April Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits Awake My Soul?  Now, if you don't have this kit, or if you have used a lot you may be asking why a tutorial now?  well because you may have these papers OR may have fun sequins and tags, so why not?  giggle.  AND, it gives me a starting point for blogging again, a tutorial, yeah, that's it....giggle

here's the card i created with the tutorial

 

and here's a step by step picture tutorial to create this card or a similar one

 i can't wait to catch up in the blogging world.  

hugs!

Hello!  Happy April Fool's Day 

a.k.a

My Maternal Grandmother's Birthday.  

And, it is with her birthday in-mind that I created the card, tutorial and links for this year's birthday card for Grandma.  I am sharing all of these on the MME blog today and YOU can enter THIS MONTH'S FUN APRIL CHALLENGE, just hop on over for the challenge and to link YOUR project♥

 

 Supplies:Lost and Found 3:Ruby -Postcard patterned paper,Medallion patterned paper,Honeycomb patterned paper,12 x 12 chipboard, stickers ;Boy Crazy:enamel dots ;Misc: Silhouette Cameo, twine, machine stitching

 Danni says:

April Fools Day is actually my maternal grandmother's birthday, so it's fun for us to create cards to make her smile and laugh out loud. Today I thought I would share this year's card with you.

I adhered my faux $20 bill to the inside flap, when the recipient (my grandmother) opens it up, trying to remove the $20 bill, they will see the 20 bucks (of the deer persuasion) instead......April Fools (smile)!!!

For those of you who do not have a Cameo, I've added some printables for you to create your own card with your MME supplies.

For the money printable CLICK HERE
For the printable bucks CLICK HERE

And if you do own a Cameo, here is a quick tutorial:

   Fun right?  I hope she giggles, thank goodness for her GREAT sense of humor, it makes this day even more fun!

I hope you'll give the challenge a try, should be so much fun to see all the entries, I can't wait!

♥ confetti pocket tutorial ♥

Hi!  Today is my day to post over on the OA Blog and it happens to be Tuesday which means....a tutorial!  I have shared a tutorial, and hopefully answered some of the questions I've received, about how to create the confetti pockets in some of my recent projects.

 

Here are some recent projects with the confetti pockets

birthday gift card/cash holders created with OA Cakewalk Here & Now pages and embellishments

  confetti pocket gift tag created with the new OA Midway line for CHA

confetti pockets from my recent Woodlank Park mini album

The pockets are really fun and you can fill them with anything you'd like for any kind of project.  I hope you'll stop by the OA Blog to see the tutorial and post your pockets.

happy creating♥

♥ two MME tutorials ♥

good afternoon.  i had to change my "greeting" as i didn't get a chance to actually post this tutorial this morning.  i am sorry for the delay, i have one kiddo home not feeling well and i was on mommy-care.  he's resting comfortably now and hopefully i can get this posted before he wakes up.

today is my "official" first post up on the MME blog.  i was asked to share my cards, individually, and i have received several questions about the burlap heart that i thought it might help a little to put together a 5-step tutorial so you can get a "visual" of what i have tried to describe.  

you can see the 5-step burlap heart tutorial here

since i created a new burlap heart for the 5-step tutorial, i decided to go ahead and create a second part tutorial using the new burlap heart and the new MME Indie Chic--Nutmeg line of papers and embellies to create an any-occasion card for a family member

family is card

(click pics to enlarge)

here is a 4-step tutorial to embellish the burlap heart created in 

this tutorial

i used the paper, shown below, to begin layering and embellishing the burlap heart
(please click pics to see the tutorial images and instructions up-close)

 

i hope the tutorial helps to "visualize" what i have been trying to describe.  i would love to see your embellished burlap hearts if you decide to give on a try.

thank you for all your sweet notes about the cards and the heart, each one has {hugged} my heart.

hugs & so much love♥

i created a tutorial today to share a couple of ideas to use up the scraps from your kit each month. for my tutorial and cards, i used strips of pp that had been cut from other projects and not thrown away.


so let's get started

(click pics to enlarge)










here is the first card i created using these butterflies cut from the pp strips



birthday wishes card








don't throw away the negatives either, because they are really cool looking and make for fun cards


birthday wishes negative card



on this card, i used the negative that was created from die-cutting two of the butterflies.





i also had a negative from the third butterfly used in the first card and used that on this card



birthday wishes card
(yes, i have needed some birthday cards :) )







but wait!

maybe you have a fun tag die that you would like to use


easter wishes card






and the negative was just as fun with this shape too and perfect for the teacher thank you card i needed :)
