Saturday Creativity with The Project Bin!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

I am back with another installment from The Project Bin! 

I am trying to get back into the continuous habit of sending out cards...yes, I am an avid card maker and I hoard them! LOL...I start out good, and then I fizzle out - so it's a new goal of mine! This stamp is perfect for a best friend card...

I decided to have a bit of clean and simple fun with the "#bff" stamp set and some washi tape/twine :)

This set has a lot of awesome sentiments for a friendship card - extremely versatile and fun!

Here to Decorate Your House.....

Happy Saturday everyone! 

I am back with another installment from The Project Bin! I am trying to get a little stash of Halloween cards done and ready for my nieces and nephews and this set is a perfect one to help with that!!

I decided to have a bit of fun with the "Creepy Halloween" stamp set and some Distress Oxide inks and an embossing folder...I got this idea from a lady on the Coffee Blog hop and man, it's FUN! You rub your ink on your embossing folder, squirt some water on it to make it activate, then add your paper and run it through the Big Shot - done! Instant cool background!

I Love FALL (most of all)

Happy Saturday everyone! 

Autumn is definitely in the air here in central Alberta, Canada! The mornings are crisp, cool and have that "winter-is-knocking" feel to them! Our trees are turning colors and the leaves are already falling off. 

I decided to make another Fall card featuring a sentiment from our newly released set "New Leaf" from The Project Bin:

Watercolor thanks!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

This week, I am sharing a watercolor card from a kit I got from Stampin' Up! last month. I added the "thanks!" sentiment from "Autumn's Calling" set from The Project Bin:

The card base is watercolored and the kit comes with all the pieces you see here and then I stamped "thanks!" and popped it up with foam dots.

It's Always SUMMER Somewhere....

Happy Saturday everyone! I can't believe that summer is flying by so quickly - as usual! It's already July 22 and I haven't made it to the lake to sit on the beach yet and crochet or read, or just...BE :) It's so relaxing to listen to the waves and soak up a bit of sunshine!
