Circus Time Popcorn Cart.

 I decided to remake one of my all-time favorite projects...my popcorn cart.  When I saw this Circus Party collection, by Carta Bella. I knew that I had to make a circus themed one. I used the Carta Bella Silhouette file for the big top and decorated it with die cuts.

 So, I think it's time for a party, don't you?

I Love You

I thought this card would be lovely to share with you tonight.  The colors remind me of late summer - early fall. I stamped the Berrie Panel stamp twice, and fussy cut the images to frame my sentiment, from the Grateful Flourish Sentiments set.

Back to School Mini Album

My nephew has started 4th grade, so I thought he might like a little mini-album to keep track of books to read this year.  Echo Park's Teacher's Pet collection was perfect to put this book together in no time!

Sparkly Roses

I had so much fun coloring this Rose Urn Collage image.  I stamped and heat embossed the image and then painted in colors using Twinkling H2O's.  I left the urn itself unpainted to keep the sketch qualities of the stamp in the forefront.

Here Comes Nordic Christmas!

Happy August...or in crafting circles - the time to start on all of those Christmas projects!!!  Crafter's Companion will be releaseing the Nordic Christmas Collection this Tuesday, and if you love warm, cozy Christmas images this collection will be for you.  There will be adorable stamps, embossing folders, and a fabulous CD-ROM to make your Christmas crafting even easier.  Be sure to check out the Crafter's Companion website on Tuesday (I imagine there will be some special savings on the new collection!)
