When I first saw the Music From My Heart Stamp Set I knew it would end up on my order. There's a combination of lovely sentiments and clever imagery with hearts forming an integral part of the designs. For the more musical among us there's even the opportunity to create actual music using the five lines and selection of music notes. For today's project though I kept it very simple. MUSIC FROM MY HEART I started this project using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Thick Very ... VIEW POST
One More Step With Foil Sheet Layers
A couple of weeks ago I showed you how to create a simple birthday card using layers of Designer Series Paper. Then last week I stepped it up using a little ribbon and sparkly embellishments.

PARISIAN PATTERN I began with a pretty Pool Party pattern from the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). This particular pattern has no blossoms or French images, just an elegant design. I ... VIEW POST
Finding A Little Parisian Romance
Playing with scraps can be a lot of fun as today's project shows. With Valentine's Day approaching I had romance in mind and the Parisian Blossoms paper in my hand. PARISIAN BLOSSOMS I was immediately taken with the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). Not so much for the Eiffel Tower images, but for the flowers and champagne foil accents. I've already made a couple of projects with this paper but couldn't resist pulling it out again. First though I needed to ... VIEW POST
