Ribbon makes me happy!

Filed under: . — Tags: — Melissa @ 11:39 am

i found this dust ruffle in my daughters closet the other day, I went into my ribbon stash and add the purple ribbon to it. It really makes it POP. I used Aileens Fabric glue and let it dry, ironed a bit to make it permanent and it is so pretty! It makes a plain boring dust ruffle into a unique item!

Going to add some to her curtains too — Stupid me forgot to take a before picture, but you get the point :)

Hello Friend

Filed under: . — Tags: , , — Melissa @ 9:32 am

I created this card for the victoria case challenge blog.

the challenge was to use pink,orange and white. I used the skater image from VC and I put it in my image program and made it unique by adding a reflection to the skater. I made the clouds with my scallop punch and chalks. My papers are Basic Grey Mellow Line and I used my favorite Pencils and OMS to color her in.

This was alot of fun to do!

I used the new victoria case digital stamp (I sound like a commercial for victoria case don’t I?). I used my sewing machine to stitch both the outside left and around the Paper Trey Ink gorgeous Paper from the hodge podge collection.
I cant wait until tomorrow to see what victoria comes out with next! This card is for sale. Leave me a comment if your interested. :)

Victoria Case Challenge #6

Filed under: . — Tags: , , — Melissa @ 6:31 pm

I did another Victoria Case Challenge.
I love this new digi image I just bought from her, it is called The Shopper.
This challenge was to create a card using one of her images as well as Black Kraft and Red Cardstock. I dont own any Kraft, but brown came pretty close. I colored the shopper in with my prismas and OMS. I cut her out and added an extra dog and extra packages. A girl can never have enough packages! Those dogs are too darn cute, Their collars are embellished with glossy accents. The red scalloped square was embossed with my dots cuttlebug folder and that fantastic paper is from Basic Grey. I also used my ek success swiss dots punch to make that fun pattern on the black piece.
Oh I do want to mention how you all can save alot of money on sentiments! Instead of spending money why not just look through your favorite stamping company, find that just right sentiment and then get a free font from fontspace.com and then create it in word. More than likely you will find the same font they used :) That is what I did with this sentiment :)
This is one of my favorite images of Victoria Case so far. I cant wait for her new release on the 10th!
