Welcome to the Spellbinders and Core'dinations Blog Swap!

All this week designers for Spellbinders and Core'dinations will be presenting the unique qualities of our products and showing how they work together for divine die cut designs!

I created a Mixed Media Journal for the Blog Swap.  I absolutely love altering composition notebooks.  They are so quick and easy, and really make a unique gift.  I use them for gifts, and often find myself using them for scrapbook ideas, blog post ideas, etc.  I tape ideas, write notes and draw sketches in them.

I am completely addicted to the new Spellbinders Blossom Tags and Accents.  They worked really nicely with Core'dinations Black Magic, Color Core Cardstock, and Whitewash Collection. I also used Want2Scrap Nestabling; Tattered Angels Juneberry Wine Glimmer Mist on the ribbon and Bo Bunny Garden Girl Collection.

Here's a quick video tutorial I did  ;)

Spellbinders is offering TWO winners, drawn from the comments left on the participating Designer's blogs, each a $24.99 value die template of their choice.

Tantalizing Tattered Angels and Perfect Prima Projects

~ SNEEK PEAKS ~ 

I am so grateful to be a part of the Tattered Angels Design Team.  It's been such an amazing experience.  I get to create with no holds barred, and blog posts that are light and loaded with pictures.  I always find myself soooo inspired and the mojo flowing free when I create with Tattered Angels paints.

Here are my latest projects I have created for Tattered Angels.

I created three projects this month.  Two Scrapbook Pages and One Mixed Media Canvas Purse project.

Prima and Tattered Angels go perfectly together.  They absolutely bring out the best in each other.

I love the Prima Mistables Canvas Sheets.  They make quick work of creating a beautiful layout.

My last sneek peak includes a small canvas purse I sewed for my little girls.  Full of color.

I hope you are curious to see the full pictures of these projects and learn about about how they were made.  

Click on over to the Tattered Angels Blog to see the full images now!

Have a fabulously creative day!

Hugs

A Fall Themed Mini Clipboard

I created this mini clipboard for the Spellbinders Blog!  It's about 7x9" in size and is a perfect way to display your favorite photo for each season.

I took this photo while we were in Virgina visiting my fabulous sister Diana Dellos (who has a great blog you really need to follow as well).  That's my Arianna and Mackenzie and her Brydger.  Can't tell they are cousins can you?  Soooo cute!!

I up-cycled a mini clipboard I had and added in some recycled cardboard as well!

I love to stencil with Spellbinders die templates.  They also cut craft foil beautifully.

I sanded the metal leaf die cut for a really cool distressed look.  I also applied Tattered Angels Chandelier Glimmer Glam to add a nice sparkle to the cardboard.  I think I could just bathe in that stuff.  It is my absolute favorite!!

Please stop by the Spellbinders Blog for the complete tutorial and supply list.  Be sure to leave a comment over there as well.

Hugs and hope you have a day full of creativity!

Framed Button Monogram!

I absolutely adore Monogram projects.  They make fabulous Teacher Gifts, House Warming Gifts, Baby Shower Presents, etc.....and are great for people of all ages.

I have had this project in my head for several weeks now, but was still trying to figure out the colors, and how to get it to look how it did in my head! LOL

Here's a sneak peek of my Framed Button Monogram.

To see the entire project and a tutorial on how I created it, click on over to the Spellbinders Blog!

 Be sure to leave me a comment over there and let me know what you think.

Here is a Teacher Monogram Gift I made that you might recognize from a previous post.

This one was made with crayons!

Both projects were created using Spellbinders die templates.
