It's getting closer and closer to Valentine's Day. Last year I was a slacker and didn't even make my husband a card. (Bad wife!) This year I wanted to make sure that he got a card. This paper collection (BoBunny Serenade) lends itself to non-frilly valentine cards and projects. My husband loves anything I make for him, but I try not to make stuff that's pink and frilly, especially since he tends to take them to work and leave them on his desk for all to admire.</div>

This card is a design from the Silhouette Online Store (<a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=72544" target="_blank">Design ID: 72544</a>). It is a 5x7 double bi-fold card. I cut the card base and the cupid out of black cardstock. I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the point on the end of the arrow is a piece of heart shaped bling. </div>

The card base was in two pieces that needed to be adhered together. I used 1/8" Scor-Tape for that. After I inked all the paper edges with Black Soot Distress Ink, I used the 1/4" Scor-Tape to adhere the rest of my patterned paper to the card base.</div>

Since this paper is heavily patterned, there is no way that I would be able to write on the inside. I used one of the 3x4 pieces from the cut-apart page to give me a place to write a love note to my husband.<br />

<br />
Since this IS a Valentine's card, I thought this "All you need is Love" sticker from the sticker sheet was appropriate. I originally had it on the front of the card but it got lost in all the patterns. Next I tried it on the back of the card, sort of like my own little "hallmark," but finally decided to put it on the back of the heart on the inside of the card.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I started out by checking my local Goodwill for a picture frame. Since I was only interested in the frame, I didn't really care about the {ugly} picture inside it. It only cost me $3.54, which was WAY cheaper than going to the store and buying a wooden picture frame. The inside dimensions of my frame are 15"x19". </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, I tore up pieces of Tim Holtz Tissue Paper and used Mod Podge to adhere it collage-style to the frame. After all the layers were dry I added two more coats of Mod Podge as a protective sealer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, the fun stuff! I searched my Silhouette library for love and valentine themed images. I cut them in a variety of sizes. I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink.</span><br />

Since we live in an apartment and don't like to put a bunch of holes in the wall, we used Command Picture Hangars to hang this frame. The Command strips hold 16 pounds and this frame doesn't weigh nearly that much, so I'm confident that it will hang on the wall just fine.</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, here is the finished project. I stapled cotton crochet thread across the back so that I could hang my die cuts using mini clothespins. When I change out the die cuts for spring, I will probably change out the twine for wire. I don't like how loose the twine got after I started hanging stuff from it. At any rate, I enjoyed making this frame and I sure do thank you for making it all the way to the end with all these pictures. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are half way through January and LOVE is in the air...well, at least it has been in all the stores since December 26th! I have several love themed projects to share with you this month for my Design Team Projects for Country Craft Creations. This month I got a fabulous package with BoBunny Serenade Paper, Brads, Layered Chipboard Stickers, and Noteworthy (die-cuts). You can check out the video below to see what came in my January DT Package. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my first project I made this "Key to My Heart" canvas. I used a 12x12 flat panel canvas that I picked up from my local craft store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started out by using Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Aged Mahogany to color the edges of the canvas. Note to self: BAD idea...the stain NEVER dried!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I trimmed 1/4" off all sides of my base paper. I inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and used Mod Podge to adhere it to the canvas. As you can see, the Distress Stain just smeared all over the place. When I was finished, I decided to cover the stain (what was left of it!) and just paint the edges with black acrylic paint. That also helped to hide the fact that my paper was not on there exactly straight. Oops! </div>

<br />
I snipped a piece from the cut apart page and added it to the bottom corner of the canvas. One of the brads from the collection makes a perfect flower center. To use it, I simply broke the legs off the back of the brad and then adhered it down with Beacon 3-in-1 glue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In the upper right hand corner I used a die-cut from the Noteworthy package. It was actually 4 circles long, but I cut one of them off. I added another matching brad.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This patchwork heart is actually a portion of a card from the Silhouette Store (<a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=72184" target="_blank">Design ID 72184</a>). It was designed to be a 5x7 card. I used only the heart portion and enlarged it to fit my 12x12 canvas. I picked 6 pieces of patterned paper to make up my patchwork heart. One of the great things about using a paper collection is that all the papers already go together. I know that I can pick any of them and they will work together. After I cut out the pieces, I inked all the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and then used Mod Podge to adhere it to the canvas.<br />
<br />

<br />
Instead of using the paper key that came with the card, I used a metal key that I picked up from the dollar bin at Michael's. It was already painted a cream color and was slightly distressed. The only thing I did to it was add a couple of Prima flowers and a matching brad from the collection. I adhered the key to the canvas with Beacon 3-in-1. This is my go-to adhesive for adhering chunky metal embellishments.<br />

Right now I have my canvas on the end table in my living room. I'm thinking about getting a 12x12 frame and hanging it in my bedroom after Valentine's Day, that way I can enjoy it all year.<br />

These tags actually came in my October DT Package from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tammyscountrycraftcreations?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Country Craft Creations</a> and I'm finally getting around to using them. The package comes with 6 tags and a ring to bind them. I decided to use 5 of them individually to make a nativity scene and use them as a Christmas decoration.<br />

I purchased this Full Nativity (<a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=70556" target="_blank">Design ID 70556</a>) from the Silhouette Online Store last week and knew it would be perfect for this project. I like to design my projects in Design Studio that way I can make sure my die cuts are going to be the right size. To start off this project, I drew 5 rectangles with rounded corners. I sized them 2.5"x3", which is the size of the ATC tags and I filled them with a kraft color to mimic the G45 tags. I really like the silhouette look so I'm going to cut everything out of black cardstock. The pieces that will hang over the edge (stable, star, and angel), I will cut twice and layer them so they will be more sturdy.<br />

<br />
The first step was to use a stencil (TH Dot Fade Layering Stencil) and gold embossing paste to add "stars" to the tops of my tags. I thought I had gold embossing paste, but it turns out that I didn't....so I made my own! I used white Studio 490 Embossing Paste and added gold acrylic paint to it until I got the desired color.<br />

<br />
After the embossing paste dried, I adhered the die cuts with Scotch Quick Dry glue. I added pop dots behind some of them for added dimension. After they were completed, I used ornament hangers to hang the tags on a garland.<br />

In this video, I'll show you my finished base pages for my December Daily. I have found that if I make my pages ahead of time, I'm more likely to get my book completed in a timely manner....like in January. My book from last year just got completed about 2 months ago because I made the pages whenever I had the time. The "junk journal/smashbook" type of book worked well for me in 2012, so I thought I would try that style again with this year's album.</span></span><br />

The only other paper I used is kraft cardstock. I know that if I limit my supplies, I'll be happier and more likely to finish my project. I added transparencies from an old K&Co ephemera package I found in my stash and some Basic Grey letters and numbers that I picked up on clearance a few months ago. I used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink to ink all the edges.</span></span></span><br />

I'm back with another Design Team Project for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tammyscountrycraftcreations" target="_blank">Country Craft Creations in Hooper</a>. My November DT box included the 12x12 "Make it Merry" Collection from October Afternoon. I was all prepared to start my December Daily using another paper collection, but when I found out I was getting this in my DT box, I immediately changed my mind! I love the vintage colors of this paper collection.<br />
<br />

<br />
Over the last several years of doing a December Daily I have come to the conclusion that I get the project completed in a timely manner IF I have my base pages already made before the holidays roll around. The first two years I had received a mini album and a "junk journal" already made for me. All I had to do was add my pictures. Those albums were completed by the end of January. My December Daily for 2013 was just finished in August of 2014....just a little bit late! My hopes this year are to have my base pages completed by the end of November and since this is my DT project for this month, I stand a pretty good chance! LOL I also decided to make it easier on myself by limiting my supplies. I used only this paper collection and kraft cardstock. I chose one color of ink (TH Distress Ink, Vintage Photo) and I have already pulled my embellishments from my stash and collected them all in a bag. I'm going to store everything together so that when it's time to work on this, I can just "grab and go" and hopefully get all the pictures and journaling in the book by the end of January.<br />
<br />
I started my project by using the "Make a Countdown" paper. I cut the numbers apart and embellished each one for a page in my December Daily.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I
have another Design Team project for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tammyscountrycraftcreations" target="_blank">Country Craft Creations in Hooper</a>
featuring Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar. When I pick up my stepdaughter from
school, I have to have a sign with her last name and grade. For the last 3
years I have just used a sheet of copy paper up in the dash. How boring is
that?!? Surely with all my paper crafting skills I can come up with something a
*little* bit better. Well, two months into the school year I finally created a
better sign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used a door hanger template from the Silhouette Online Store (<a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=32617" target="_blank">Design ID 32617</a>) as the base for my sign and cut 2 pieces out of Stampin’ Up cardstock. SU cardstock is very sturdy and this will need to hold up all year. The color doesn’t really matter since you can’t see it, especially if you ink the edges. Speaking of ink…I realized when I was about half way done with this project that I had not inked any of the edges. *sigh* Oh well….Back to the project….I cut 2 pieces from the G45 paper. Because this sign needs to last for the remainder of the school year, I adhered all the layers together with Mod Podge and added a coat to the front and back for protection and durability.</span></div>

photos at home and cut them with a white border. I used Scor Tape to adhere the
pictures to the post card. I used Wild Orchid Craft flowers to create the same
flower cluster that is on the sign and added 2 of the chipboard pieces for
additional embellishments.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm excited to announce that I am on a Design Team for a new business, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tammyscountrycraftcreations" target="_blank">Country Craft Creations in Hooper</a>. <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> Country Craft Creations is</span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> an online scrapbooking supply store that sells at wholesale prices, or very close to it. It’s a great way to make scrapbooking affordable for everyone! Country Craft Creations specializes in Graphic 45, Basic Grey, and Marion Smith paper lines. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">My box for October included G45 Bohemian Bazaar paper collection. I'm very excited to work with that this month. I absolutely LOVE using G45 paper collections.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">My stepdaughter and I went to a birthday party a few weeks ago. I took the opportunity to dive right in to this paper collection and make a card. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I used </span><a href="http://operationwritehome.org/sketch-challenge-240/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;" target="_blank">OWH Sketch 240</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> for the card and used black cardstock (Recollections brand) for additional layers. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I think the black cardstock really accentuates the bright colors of the paper. I inked all the edges with Distress Ink (Black Soot). I traded out a piece of patterned paper for two of the border stickers (cut down to fit the front of my card) from the Cardstock Sticker Sheet. I used ScorTape to adhere one of the chipboard tags to the front of the card and tied a bow with vintage seam binding. The sentiment is from a stamp set from the $1 bin at JoAnn's. </span><br />

Next, I picked </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">a few (ok, 11) pictures from the party. I did a bit of resizing and printed them at home. I trimmed them, leaving a white border so I didn't have to add photo mats. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I knew that I wanted to use the Cardstock Stickers to spell out "BDAY FUN", but I didn't know what paper I wanted to use in that slot. A tip I saw online said to adhere your stickers to a piece of wax paper, that way you can see how they fit in the area. Doing that, I could place different pieces of paper under the stickers to see which paper went the best with the stickers. This way, I didn't ruin any paper or the stickers. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">The next step is to pick out the patterned paper for the rest of the photo pockets. I also added one of the Chipboard tags.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">After picking out the paper, I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and adhered the photos. I used ScorTape to adhere the "Fun Money" card to the layout. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Now it's time for the fun stuff--embellishments! I put all of the photos in the pockets then placed my embellishments on the outside for a "test drive" to see how everything looked. You can see that I used several different embellishments: a few of the Chipboard tags, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">paper flowers, b</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ling, flat back pearls, homemade enamel dots, and twine. I also added a couple of Silhouette cut files. A little bit of journaling will finish up these two layouts. </span></div>

Wow…long
time, no post! I guess I took a spring and summer break from crafting. I’m
happy to be back in the craft room (aka the dining room table) and creating
fabulous projects. Today I have a Design Team Submission for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tammyscountrycraftcreations" target="_blank">Country Craft Creations</a>. She has an online scrapbooking supply store where she sells at
wholesale prices or just above. It’s a great way to make scrapbooking
affordable for everyone!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I chose to
use BasicGrey Herbs & Honey 6x6 paper pad and also the Diecuts &
Transparencies pack. I started with a few cards. I love to use 6x6 paper pads
for cards and mini albums. Everything already goes together and I don’t have to
worry about whether or not the papers match. The patterns are the same as in
the larger pads, but the smaller scale is perfect for cards.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The steps to create this canvas were pretty simple. First I spritzed the canvas with water. Next I sprayed each color, one a time. Between each layer of color I spritzed it with water and blotted with a paper towel. After all the colors were applied, I spritzed it again with water to give the canvas a watercolor look. After the ink dried I applied a layer of ModPodge. I placed the transparencies and covered with another layer of ModPodge. The MP acts as a glue to keep the transparencies in place and also gives the canvas a glossy finish that will protect it from dust and fingerprints.</div>

I love being able to pick out my own paper and embellishments and build the album from scratch. The only problem--how do I bind it? Sure, you can punch holes and use ribbon or binder rings OR you can use a Bind-It-All and get a professional looking o-wire binding.<br />
<br />
The BIA is an easy machine to use and would be a great addition to your craft room if you like to make mini albums, too. It's not too big, as you can see from the graphic below, it fits in your hand and it weighs about 3 pounds. Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3wyKdEb5qw">this YT video</a> for a great introduction to the machine.<br />

<br />
Need a cover for your album? Don't worry, you can get Cover-Alls. They are chipboard covers available in a variety of sizes, colors, and spine styles. Cover-Alls are a good choice if you don't want to make your own chipboard cover. Check out the video below to see a junk-journal that I made using a Cover-All.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Also available are page protectors, pre-cut pages, acrylic pages, clipboard wood pages, chipboard covers, and o-wires in a variety of colors and sizes. The Bind-It-All makes it possible to make albums in all different sizes, from a mini-mini at 4" to a regular 12" album. You are no longer limited to the standard size albums you find in the store.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been a long time since I participated in swaps at <a href="http://yourpaperpantry.ning.com/" target="_blank">Your Paper Pantry</a>. I decided to jump in during the month of February and participate in the "Artsy Fartsy Ticket Swap." The theme was Birthday. The ticket and cupcake are both files from the Silhouette store. I embossed the ticket with the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used Spun Sugar and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks on the cupcake. The cupcake was attached to the ticket with dimensional foam and I added Glossy Accents on top of the sprinkles.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Welcome back for another LWD Showcase. As you may recall, I used Canvas Corp mini canvas rounds to create a couple <a href="http://deannascraftsandcreations.blogspot.com/2014/01/lone-wolf-designs-design-team-showcase.html" target="_blank">cards</a> last month. Well, did you know that Canvas Corp has other products besides canvas? They carry several different designs of cardstock, canvases, hardware, ATC cards, envelopes, and so much more! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Today, I used a sheet of postcards and altered them for a swap in one of my favorite crafty Facebook groups, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thescrapcafe/" target="_blank">The Scrap Cafe</a>. You get 6 (4x6) postcards on a 12x12 sheet. I cut 4 postcards and used my Paper Distresser to really rough up the edges of each postcard. </span></span></span></div>

<br />
I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I also used Vintage Photo to stamp my sentiment (from the Mini Muse set) and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.<br />

<br />
Next, I used Vintage Photo to add a little bit of color to my lace. I just pounced it on with the Ink Blending Tool.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added a stick pin from my stash, some pearl strands, and a paper flower. I inked the edges of the flower with Vintage Photo.</div>

Here is a picture of all 4 of the cards I made. Obviously, these are not made to go in the mail, unless in a well padded envelope. These can be used as a page in a mini album, an embellishment on the top of an altered box, or simply display it on a shelf with other travel memorabilia.<br />

Today I'm a guest designer on the <a href="http://scraps-2-treasures.blogspot.com/2014/02/meet-me-monday-deanna-catron-goen.html?showComment=1392685858748#c4685668386885533755" target="_blank">Scraps to Treasures</a> blog. Here, we use our scraps to make fabulous projects. This week, we were to use pink and/or red in our project. I created this super cute card. Using a pile of pink and tan scraps. Since they are scraps, I don't know the brands, except for the tag...it is from a piece of Cosmo Cricket cut-aparts. The flowers are Recollections and the doily is Wilton brand.<br />

Happy Valentine's Day!! Now, I don't have a valentine project to share, but I do have a Vintage project to share. This week, the challenge over at <a href="http://creativecraftcottage.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Creative Craft Cottage</a> is Vintage. I created this vintage/shabby chic banner for our booth at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cbdsw.artisanmarketplace" target="_blank">Chinaberry Dreams Soapworks & Gifts Artisan Marketplace</a>. <br />

The banner shape is from the Silhouette Store (I believe it was a To/From tag). I cut them at just under 4x6 so that I could maximize the number of shapes I could get from a 12x12 sheet of paper. The shadow is Recollections Kraft cardstock and the front layer is made with the Basic Grey Fiction collection. I love making a project with paper from a paper collection. Everything already matches! I used paper flowers from my stash and the flat back pearls are a combination of Want2Scrap and StampinUp. The banners are threaded along some jute that I picked up from the Dollar Tree.<br />

Here is a photo of our *nearly* finished booth. We are going to add some curtains around the walls and some greenery to finish it off. <a href="http://fashionedinfaith.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tami</a>, <a href="http://www.lonewolfdesignsllc.com/" target="_blank">Kris</a>, and I are looking forward to selling our handmade items and supplies and even teaching a few classes. If you live in the Midlands of South Carolina, we would love it if you would stop by our booth and sign up for a class!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm going on a Weekend Scrapbook Retreat with some friends at the end of March. I plan on winning the prize for getting the most pages completed. (There IS a prize for that, right, Tami?!?) In order to do that I need to be super organized. Cropper Hopper to the rescue! These 12x12 paper organizers are a great tool for organizing your papers and products, whether you are going to a crop or just using them on your shelves at home. If you have the vertical paper holders (also by Cropper Hopper) these are a perfect fit. You can fit over 100 sheets of paper in one organizer! I like that I can put an entire 12x12 pad of paper inside and the paper doesn't get bent. The organizers are a heavy duty plastic. You have to put the organizer together as it comes flat, but assembly is easy. It folds open with lock tab closures and it stays together even with a LOT of items inside. There is a handy-dandy carrying handle at the top and even a place to label the contents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pros:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Very sturdy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Holds over 100 sheets of paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Has a handle and a space for labeling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Con:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Assembly" required, but it's super easy, takes less than 30 seconds</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2012, we went on a family trip to a gem mine in North Carolina. I have yet to scrap these pictures...but I have everything all together in a paper organizer. I have a paper pad, a package of cardstock, several packages of embellishments, and even the pictures. When I *finally* get around to scrapping this trip I won't need to go looking all over the place for what I need since I have everything stored together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">These paper organizers are great for storing other supplies, too. I use them for storing my rub-ons, vellum quotes, baby quotes, Coluzzle cutting system, etc. They are also great for storing themed items like wedding and travel. </span>I also use them to store pages that are in progress or pages that I have completed but don't have a home in a scrapbook yet.<br />

That way they will all be the same size and since the Cropper Hopper brand has a flat bottom, they will stand up better in my cube.</td></tr>

I have a project share with a file from <a href="http://berrycutedesigns.com/" target="_blank">Berry Cute Designs</a> to submit another sample for their Design Team Call. I was looking through the files when this cute <a href="http://www.berrycutedesigns.com/category_20/Kitchen.htm" target="_blank">Little Girl Baker</a> from the Kitchen Files caught my eye. I knew it would be perfect for the Thanksgiving pictures from last year. I haven't even scrapped 2012 yet and here I am making a scrapbook page for 2013. LOL My stepdaughter, Sarah, is 7 and loves to help out in the kitchen. This year I let her help me make a pumpkin pie and a chocolate brownie pie to take with us to my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner.<br />
<br />
My scrapbook page is 12x12 and will hold 8 (2x3) pictures and my journaling, which I will do on the computer. I only used the girl from the set. It also includes cookies, a rolling pin, and pot holders. I cut the little girl at about 6 inches and inked all the edges before assembly. The title and the little girl are attached to the layout with foam dots for dimension.<br />
<br />

I created my own title "baking pies" using the font BaaBookHmkBold. I grouped the words together and then sized them so the word "baking" is about 3.5 inches. I ungrouped them and added the offset. Confession: As I was inking the letters, I lost one of the dots for the "i" so I used some clear bling.<br />
<br />

I attached the chef hat with foam dots to add dimension. Since I didn't have any silver paper, I colored the mixing bowl with a silver Sharpie marker before I removed it from the mat. As a finishing touch, I added Glossy Accents to the facial features and the shoes. I also added a few pieces of clear bling to the bottom left corner to go with the bling used in the title. Oh, and the hair bows--the ones that came in the file were impossibly tiny. I used some twine from my stash and just tied them in a knot around the ponytails.<br />

One of my crafty goals this year is to be a member of a Design Team that will allow me to use my Silhouette on a more regular basis. I recently joined a Facebook Group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/254999351342247/" target="_blank">Everything Silhouette & SD Craft Room</a> and there was a Design Team Call for <a href="http://berrycutedesigns.com/" target="_blank">Berry Cute Designs</a> posted in that group. Lucky Me!<br />
<br />
I received this cute "<a href="http://www.berrycutedesigns.com/category_65/Valentines-Day.htm" target="_blank">Hersey Kiss Bears</a>" file to make a project. Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I decided to make Valentine Bags for my kids. I used Core'dinations Cardstock for all the cuts and inked all the edges with the following Distress Inks: Gathered Twigs, Vintage Photo, Antique Linen (eyes), and Barn Door (bow on girl bear). I used Black Soot Distress Ink on all the black cardstock and also on the silver wrapper. The bears were assembled with Scotch Quick Dry. It's my favorite wet adhesive for cardstock.<br />
<br />
First up is Sarah's bag. It's pink and sparkly and has flowers--just about everything she loves! The bag is actually from one of her Christmas gifts. It's pulling double duty for Valentine's Day and then I'm sure she's going to cut it up and put it in her SMASHbook. The heart doily is from the Dollar Tree and I used Spun Sugar Distress Ink to color it. I used my SU! Blender Pen to add Bundled Sage, Shaded Lilac, and Festive Berries Distress Inks to the flowers and stems. I used Beacon 3-in-1 to glue the doily to the bag. Since the front of the bag is glitter, I wanted to make sure the doily was adhered well.<br />

<br />
The small pink flowers are from the dollar bin at Michael's. I used the Beacon to adhere those, as well.<br />

<br />
I didn't have any silver paper, so I used grey. Before I removed it from the mat I used a silver Sharpie to color it. I cut 2 of each of the wrapper and the flag and attached them with foam tape to add some dimension. The sentiment strip across the bottom is from Echo Park "Head Over Heels" Collection. The paper flowers and stick pin are from my stash.<br />
<br />

<br />
Instead of cutting the pink heart that came with the collection, I added a pink heart gem. Sarah will appreciate the detail. She loves bling! A couple of the eyelashes kind of shredded when I cut them, so I pulled the rest of them apart and made them fluffy. I think it adds a nice bit of interest to her eyes. The finishing touch is Glossy Accents on the eyes and nose.<br />

David's bag is much more plain. He's 12 years old...and a boy...and all he cares about is the chocolate that will be on the inside of the bag! LOL I used a brown lunch bag for the base and used Festive Berries to color the doily. The bear was inked and assembled in the same way as the girl bear.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #232323; font-family: inherit;">Welcome back for my first LWD Design Team Showcase of 2014. Make sure you check out the <a href="http://www.lonewolfdesignsllc.com/" target="_blank">The Lone Wolf Designs LLC blog</a> every week as we have added a new weekly treat: Tool Review Tuesday. For my product review this week I have chosen these cute round canvas minis and made 2 cards. The circles are approximately 3" in diameter, so even though they are "mini," they are still a nice size to work with. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #232323;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I started by inking the embossed hearts and the
edges of the card with Victorian Velvet. I also inked the cardboard and the
canvas circle. The flowers were on a tag
that I received in a swap. I carefully took them off and then glued them to the
canvas. I received a whole jar of those heart embellishments about a year ago
from my friend Katie. When I first got them I was SURE I would NEVER use them,
but I have actually used half the jar! They are great little embellishments.
Oh, and the heart stick pin (my last one!) and metal sticker came from fellow DT member Tami.
I used Beacon 3-in-1 to adhere everything to the card. I find that it works the
best when attaching something other than paper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #232323;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The canvas
minis come as 2 layers that are sewn together. For this card, I took the
circles apart. Now I have twice as many! After cutting my paper to size I used
the Tonic Paper Distresser to distress the edges. Note to self: Next time think
TWICE about distressing paper…cardstock is SO much easier! I inked all the
edges with Vintage Photo and then assembled the layers using my ATG. Before
inking the edges of the canvas I used my fingernails to unravel the edges a
bit. I also inked the paper flowers. I used Beacon 3-in-1 to adhere the canvas
and the flowers to the front of the card. The metal embellishment has foam tape
on the back, but I find the adhesive on those to be less than satisfactory. I
ran a line of Beacon across the bottom of the foam tape, too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the swaps I joined in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/519516954756625/" target="_blank">Creative Swappers Facebook Group</a> was to create a Ladybug, Dragonfly, or Butterfly. I chose a ladybug and a dragonfly. The images came from the Silhouette Store and I used Core'dinations cardstock for all the cuts. They are cut somewhere between. I think ink adds a nice finishing touch to any project so I inked all the edges with coordinating colors of Distress Inks. I added Glossy Accents to the antennae and dots on the lady bug and Crackle Accents to the wings of the dragonfly. </div>

It's time for another challenge over at <a href="http://creativecraftcottage.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Creative Craft Cottage</a>. The challenge this time is to use fabric or felt on your project. I picked up a package of black and white fabric flowers (Crate Paper "On Trend") from a local discount store about a week ago and I knew they would be perfect for this challenge. I also knew that I wanted to use my new Studio 490 Black Embossing Paste. I have had it for about a month and had not even opened it yet! As I was looking through my meager collection of spray inks (I only have 5!) I decided pink would go great with the black paste. I grabbed a #8 tag and sprayed it with Dylusions Ink Spray in Bubble Gum Pink then used a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil (Rays) with the black embossing paste to add some texture to the tag.<br />

<br />
Next I started working on the flower arrangement at the bottom. I layered black mesh bling, a small piece of lace that I colored with the Dylusions Bubble Gum Pink spray ink, and some black flat back pearl trim (all from my stash). Behind the flower I used Petaloo Feathers in cream. The smaller stick pins are Petaloo and the large one (with the black and white heart) I received in a swap.<br />

<br />
I sprayed the butterfly with the Dylusions and let it sit over night then wiped off the excess. It is hard to tell in the picture, but some of the pink did stay on the metal. I wasn't sure if it would or not, so it was a happy surprise. I used Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Picket Fence to highlight a few areas of the butterfly. It helps to tone down the metal and also to tie it in to the white flower at the bottom. I added a butterfly trail with a piece of Want2Scrap bling.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Happy New Year!
I can't believe another year has come and gone. Boy, the older I get, the
faster they seem to go! For the New Year, the LWD Design Team has added an
extra post each week. Tuesday is now "Tool Review Tuesday" and each
week, one of us will review a tool or storage/organization solution. I'm up
first and I chose the Zutter Bow-it-All. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">With the Bow-it-All, you get a perfect bow, every single time.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> I don't know about you, but
I STRUGGLE when it comes to making bows. Some people are born with the bow
making gene...I was not. LOL Before I show you my *horrible* bow; let’s take a
look at what comes in the box. The board allows you to make itty-bitty
1/2" bows all the way up to large 9" bows. There is a full color
instruction book and a pair of pink handled scissors. There is even a zippered
storage case to keep it all together.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">All the pegs are stored “on-board”

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">You can use ANY ribbon--wide, narrow, wired, no wire, satin, grosgrain, anything! Here's a sample of what I used.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So, here’s my bow. It’s ok, but
the loops aren’t even. The ribbon has a dull side and a shiny side and you can
see both sides in my loops and in the tail.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This is my first attempt with
the Bow-it-All. I made a 3” single loop bow. I think I did pretty well!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Well, I'm not sure what happened to the picture! It was a good bow, though!}</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Next is a 4” triple loop bow.
This one went much faster and I think that I have that “locking-C” knot down now. Check out <a href="http://www.binditall.com/BowitAll.html" target="_blank">these</a> videos on the Zutter website to learn about the "locking-C" and see demos on how to make other bows.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One more big bow and then on to
some tiny ones…This is triple loop double bow with a 3” back bow and 2” front

adorable! I made single loop, double loop, and triple loop bows. These will be
perfect on a card or a scrapbook page. I'm fairly certain Sarah is going to confiscate these for her SMASHbook. She was quite taken with them!</span><br />

I can't believe that it has already been a month and it's time for another challenge over at <a href="http://creativecraftcottage.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Creative Craft Cottage</a>. I got to pick the theme this month and I chose Texture. There are so many ways to add texture to your cards or projects. One of my new favorite ways to add texture is with embossing paste. I recently acquired some Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi Translucent Embossing Paste. It was so much fun to use. It adds great texture and allows the background to show through.<br />
<br />
I started with a #8 Tag and the "3 Fresh Flowers" stencil by Wendy Vecchi and used Distress Inks (Shaded Lilac, Mustard Seed, Forest Moss) and a blending tool to stencil one of the flowers on the tag. I placed the stencil back on the tag and spread the embossing paste on top.<br />

I did not smooth the surface so the ridges and bumps add some extra texture.<br />

My next tag is a #10 tag that I cut down to 7". First I sprayed the tag with some water and then added 3 colors of Dylusions Ink Spray (London Blue, Vibrant Turquoise, Bubblegum Pink). For the texture I used the translucent embossing paste and the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Layering Stencil.<br />

The focal image is an ATC that I received in a swap last year. I'm trying hard to use things from my stash instead of making new embellishments or buying them.<div>

One of the November Card Swaps I joined this month in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/157486381069507/" target="_blank">Luv2Swap Facebook Group</a> was to make a card with washi tape accents.<br />
<br />
I also combined it with a challenge (in the same FB group) to use this sketch:<br />

I thought the flags on the side were perfect for the washi tape.<br />
