Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Using Scraps #1


I've got a lot of scraps that I felt were too large to throw away, but often turn out to be smaller than what I need for a project.  The piles have been growing & I needed to do something to pare them down.  Here's what I decided to do - use them to make pre-made embellishments.  These are hopefully just the first installment of MANY to come as I work on clearing out my scraps!  

To color these I used a combination of 3 different mediums: pastel chalks added with a brush, Inktense pencils with water for blending, and occasionally gelatos (used a couple of the metallic colors with water for cats eyes).  Below is a closeup of some of them.  The dogs and cats are stamps/dies from Stampendous.  The deer & trees are stamps/dies from Heartfelt Creations.
