Tuesday Inspiration

Happy Tuesday! Today we have inspiration for you from two of our designers! Nanne Harry used the Bo Bunny Cambridge (Now on Sale!) collection to create a wonderful planner and Andra Hoffman used the Basic Grey Wander collection for a simply stunning layout! Let's take a look!

Cambridge Planner by Nanne Harry

Isn't this neat and a wonderful idea? It measures 8x12 and Nanne added 5 little pockets with tag inserts for writing down a schedule or other information! I may have to lift this idea! Thanks, Nanne!

Smile by Andra Hoffman

Andra used Basic Grey Wander Papers and Element Stickers on this gorgeous layout. The Wander collection is perfect for not only travel, but also for masculine pages as Andra has shown us here. I love how Andra offset the photo a little to add interest to her layout. Nice work, Andra!

Speaking of Basic Grey, we will be carrying the new Curio and Marjolaine collections. Watch for them in the Coming Soon category shortly. Basic Grey had a shipping delay and we are not expecting the new collections until early November.

Stay-tuned for more inspiration!

Happy Crafting!

Webster's Pages Inspiration

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous and crafty weekend!

Today we have a little Webster's Pages inspiration for you from Designer Sandi Clarkson! She created two gorgeous layouts for our viewing pleasure. Take a look:

Starting School by Sandi Clarkson

This is a photo of Sandi at age 6 getting ready to start kindergarten! Sandi used the Webster's Pages Wonderfall collection for this amazing layout! I love all of the fussy-cutting Sandi did for this layout and check out those gorgeous Prima Flowers!

Picture Perfect by Sandi Clarkson

Sandi used the Webster's Pages Lullaby Lane Die-Cut for this gorgeous layout of her granddaughter. Sandi has an eye for the finer details and it really shows in this layout. I love how she used the sheer ribbon with the three smaller photos "dangling" off the ends. It reminds me of a charm bracelet.

The Picture Perfect Layout that Sandi created was for the Friday (10/15) reveal at StuckOnUSketches. They have wonderful challenges every two weeks and an amazing Design Team! Hop on over and check it out!

If you haven't seen it yet, we have the new Glitz Design collections in stock and ready to ship! And... the new Bo Bunny will be here and ready to ship on Wednesday! Quantities are limited, so make sure you are signed up for a Product Notification!

Happy Crafting!

More Halloween Inspiration and a Winner!

Greetings and Happy Friday! We have our Imaginisce Apple Cider Embellishment Winner, but first I want to share a little Halloween Inspiration from yours truly! Did you know that we have the Cosmo Cricket Matilda collection in stock? We actually are offering it as one of our Super Value Sets and it truly is a super-value!


The kit includes: 1 Matilda 6x6 Paper Pad, 1 Blackboard House Album, 1 package of Haunted Ribbon, 1 Sheet of Matilda Chipboard Elements, 1 Package of Matilda Buttons and 1 Sheet of Licorice Chipboard Alphas ALL for only $15!! It's a great way to get those last minute Halloween decorations finished!

Did you say you needed some inspiration? Check out what I made using this kit!

Matilda Large Treat Boxes





Aren't these fun? I used some plain white boxes that we receive brads in from the manufacturers! It's a great way to recycle! I covered them with Matilda papers from the 6x6 pad and embellished with all of the fun goodies included in the set! I even used the ribbon for box handles! I had plenty left so I made:

Matilda Small Treat Boxes

I used my Big Shot Pro to cut these boxes on plain black and orange papers. I used Matilda papers and embellishments to decorate the boxes! I also used stamps, alphas and bling from my stash and that fun Hero Arts Scary House stamp, too! I had more left from the kit so I made:

Matilda Happy Haunting Card

I wanted to use that cute little album, but didn't want to make a complete mini-album so I made this fun little card with a surprise inside:


Surprise! I used the brad on top to hold the two chipboard pieces together and they just slide apart. How fun and you know what? I have a lot more left over and could easily make tons more projects!

Well, I've made you wait long enough! Time for our winner! Congratulations to:

My mother-in-law works wonders with the sewing machine! She used some of the Basic Grey Origins Fabric and made a gorgeous tote for me! Take a look:

Margie used the Basic Grey Origins Fat Quarter Bundle and a pattern to make this tote. Isn't this just too much fun! She put lots of pockets on the inside for me. I love the pop of yellow against the dark green. Just wait until you see what else Margie made with Basic Grey Fabric!
