Finally Friday and Time to Tie One On!!!


Hello all!!! Did I grab your attention with that title??? This week our creation comes from Adriana Benitez and has she been creative!!!

Here's what she has to say about her card:

I was playing around with ribbon the weekend and was trying to come up with a "different" way to use it. I thought I'd use the wider ribbon and see if I could get it to look like a man's tie. It worked!

I think you could use this for a Father's Day card, Congrats (promotion at work?), Graduation card, etc. But here I wanted to use this Cottage Wall paper so I made a Newlywed card instead. (I was hoping the two rhinestone brads on the top right would resemble earrings....)

Oh - and my hubby deserves some kudos - he held the paper and ribbon in front of him to show me how he ties a tie since I had no clue :)

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Paper: Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry,
Orchid Opulence
Other/Tools: Clear Circle Rhinestone Brads, Ice Circle Rhinestone
Brads, Large Oval punch, Movers & Shapers Die, Old Olive 5/8" Satin
Ribbon, Big Shot

What an awesome idea Adriana!!! Need to try this out, but I have no man to help me tie it!! I'll figure it out!!

Happy Stamping!!!

Finally Friday & Slowly Winding Down!!


Hello all!! Sorry for the late post today. Time just got away from me. But how appropriate that our sample today is showing off the cute turtle from Fox & Friends??? Slow and steady wins the race right?

Anyway, you can find this adorable turtle in the Occasions mini, with 6 of his other good friends too!!! This set is just perfect for all those kids cards we never seem to have the right stamp for!

Our sample this week comes from Brenda Taylor and like all of her work, it is just wonderful!! She used many new products on this one card. The strip of designer series paper is from the delicious Sweet Pack stack and the sentiment is from Well Scripted, and all are available now!!

Supplies:

Fox and Friends and Well Scripted stamp set
Old Olive, So Saffron, Taken With Teal and Whisper White card stock
Sweet Pea stack ds paper
Old Olive ink pad

Happy Stamping!!!
