<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Cupcake magnets! </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw these cupcakes on the cover of a magazine and wondered what you would use them for? Just as a decoration on a plate ? So I thought what could make these cute cupcakes useful too.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I turned them in to magnets!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a1BuINKRABk/T6PsqLIia-I/AAAAAAABHyo/OBNeiUkFaKA/s1095/IMG_6347.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a1BuINKRABk/T6PsqLIia-I/AAAAAAABHyo/OBNeiUkFaKA/s320/IMG_6347.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took a small styrofoam ball cut it in half and placed it into a small candy foil liner.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I covered the ball with mod podge and glued the bakers twine around the ball to cover using a toothpick to make the coverage tight.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then added a cherry some beads and glitter for the sprinkles, then added the magnet to the back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the moment I am playing with my mixed media supplies and been creating some mini Valentine canvases....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fA7sQE87m_M/TyBd4kWzeGI/AAAAAAABHKE/lx0tOYpzm-4/s720/IMG_6042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fA7sQE87m_M/TyBd4kWzeGI/AAAAAAABHKE/lx0tOYpzm-4/s400/IMG_6042.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This canvas is 4x6 and I have used paints, rub-ons, inks, wire and fibres! I am very excited about the fibres because I haven't used them in a long time, and now have a new interest in them.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9vlc2_sCWu0/TyBf57PuV1I/AAAAAAABHKQ/ZKQJhYxG80c/s400/IMG_6043.JPG" width="300" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The wire I used on both these canvases is rusted, I love that look! This canvas is also 4x6.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love that I start out with a idea in mind and these canvas just grow from the idea sometimes they may look like what I was thinking and other times the evolve into something else, you just keep "working" the canvas until you love it!</span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18419549890355690120noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933253132108610991.post-18974007817836444562011-12-21T08:54:00.000-06:002014-03-11T13:13:46.040-05:00Mailbox Update!<img alt="Image" height="299" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Gs5L3x2tQIQ/TvDWTD2C5iI/AAAAAAABG9c/bzqzGlqU2Qg/w447-h336-k/IMG_5973.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border: none; color: #323d4f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="400" /><br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was happy with my mailboxes for the girls, but really did want them to have a stand. I could not find the stand I was looking for...until I was in Homesence!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">These are the updated mailboxes...with stands...that looked like the ones I had in my mind...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">Here is where my story gets amazing....I didn't even have to paint these....I know they are the PERFECT color and can you believe the ONLY colors they had?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">This is where I started.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">This is what I ended up with.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">The girls knew about the Advent bags I made them the previous years, but I was bugging them that it would be the same...but different.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">They were very excited about December 1st....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">When they saw them they immediately "got it" ! "It's like Christmas mail but will be our Advent stuff, right?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">They have enjoyed every morning of getting up and checking out the mail. They are sooo excited to see what it is and seem to be be happy with whatever treat is inside.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I have found some really cute things this year. Pier 1 Imports have a lot of cute and interesting stocking stuffer items I got a ring that had jingle bells on it and some lip gloss and paper soap.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">The items that seems to have been the biggest hit are the Christmas Coke, they are round bottles that look like and ornament (probably because they don't get to have Coke and other time and I also planned to give them this on a Friday night when were we made pizza and watched a movie.) The other favourite was a mini flashlight! It was $1.99 LED mini flashlight and they have had hours of fun with these. I will definitely stick with these mailboxes they have been a hit!</span></span><br />

I used the StarDust pen to outline elements, and used distress ink the tags to create a "red" tag.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AY1n0sjRMkM/TqDwI7DXwrI/AAAAAAABGY8/NwYW2XfWeXs/s400/IMG_5836.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Here I used one the rusty birdhouses added some snow on the roof and some garland!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pienOQ9BPfg/TqDwQgcOTEI/AAAAAAABGZE/BM-jJbn-Zbw/s400/IMG_5838.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Here I used a little rusty snowflakes ! I sprayed the tag with pearlized mist to add a little shimmer to the tag. It is a subtle look but really looks nice.</span></div>

I have been doing a few little projects for Christmas mostly cards and started thinking about some gifts for Christmas.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br />Once I got started with these little gems I couldn't stop!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />You can alter them to suit anyone, and any theme. I did some that were Christmas themed and others that were not themed specific.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I used a variety of papers, if you like a patterned paper but the pattern is too large perhaps they have it in a 6x6 format that will work. I also used glossy accents and stickles to highlight areas of the papers. Chipboard pieces, ribbons, flowers! They possibilities are endless to what you can use on these books.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />When I covered these I used a tape runner, it's important to get the adhesive to the edge. I then cut around and sanded the edges to make them smooth. Then just alter!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I hope that this inspires you to try some altering, it can be so much fun!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Here are some of the examples I did:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Here are some more ideas for Christmas cards. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I recently bought this October Afternoon-Sidewalks line! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I was excited to use it but have been focusing on Christmas stuff.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">As I looked through this line: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I decided to take a different approach with these cards by using some paper that is not Christmas themed, but I thought would work very well.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4SioP3lFOos/TsJi1nmW5ZI/AAAAAAABGy8/krMBULhdnaU/s400/IMG_5911.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /><br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">All the papers are from the Sidewalks line, I used inked cardstock for the banner outlined with Stickles.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CHAWcherVas/TsJljVSVsSI/AAAAAAABGz0/Z8o4lXm45m0/s400/IMG_5917.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br />
<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">All the papers used in this card are from this line and I added some ribbon . I used punches for the snow border which I covered in Stickles and holly which I painted with Smooch Ink and outlined in Stickles. I also used these cute little rusty jingle bells </span><span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">In this card I used papers, little flyers and miscellany package and flower sack and from this line. I Stickled the flowers and added "Christmas" colored ribbons and embellishments.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed this challenge and it allowed me to get into my new paper purchase.</span><br />

Can you believe that I had some? I was looking through some stuff and found a package of coloured corrugated paper. I will be honest I have no clue where this came from, the package looks like from a teacher supply store. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />As I was looking through the package I came across the blue and LOVE this kind of blue with red. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />My all time favorite Christmas paper pack is Basic Grey Jovial!

Also this way you can position it on the paper to get the part of the pattern you want.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-BS2C2R5FDs0/TrmXk77Rq6I/AAAAAAABGwE/-ETvzk3rTPk/s400/IMG_5891.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I covered the outside and then the ends of the mailbox. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-w27nRfj3RZg/TrmWmq3fnQI/AAAAAAABGv8/vlA_7gciy0A/s400/IMG_5890.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />These are some things that I have put away for the "mail" they will be receiving!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-TETw99DhNbQ/Trl0h2bdqoI/AAAAAAABGu8/s8TZkAqL-4M/s400/IMG_5883.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Here are the finished "mailboxes" !

He has great dies for the sizzix and distress products that can help you create AMAZING Christmas cards. Here are some that I made.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-phyN-8EmwXE/TqDya923VRI/AAAAAAABGa4/ZP8p2yCTTEw/s400/IMG_5851.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span></span></span><br />

I did have a picture BUT it was lost from my phone during upgrades! <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />But I really love this card, I think the black against the bluey-greeny background really creates a peaceful, quiet look to the card.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ke85vVz4YOk/TqDyoE0JXPI/AAAAAAABGbM/qkImJoY1o0w/s400/IMG_5853.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tpgC-xCvt9k/TqDyuOWlH6I/AAAAAAABGbU/1n9VVsuZgog/s400/IMG_5854.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />What can I say I'm a sucker for snowmen!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />This snowman I cut out of grungeboard and (with a paint dauber)painted it. Then used distress ink and a foam pad to ink the edges. Then I used a texture fade and ran some used plastic packaging through to create the snow then highlighted certain snowflakes to sparkle. Love the way that red scarf pops out from the muted tones of the rest of the card.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dTZPSeJvaww/TqDzUxa7fSI/AAAAAAABGcA/ucQcv4l-byI/s400/IMG_5859.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I needed this die to make this card...I just love this old time feel. I also used distress powder for the tree to give it texture.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />So ready, set, go!

The invite lets the invitee know what kind of fun they are instore for! <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I will just say ...<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I have had this sleeping bag template from a magazine for around 15 years. I kept this for "the someday" I would make these for my child, for the sleepover they would want. I don't think I was even dating my husband yet... <img alt=":teehee" src="http://www.loveisinthedetails.ca/forum/images/smilies/teehee.gif" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Tee Hee" />, BUT had the birthday party planned!</span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Bczwe_TGzfs/TpotdZ3C3YI/AAAAAAABGTc/ccCmbEjT-CI/s400/IMG_5802.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Next we had supper, which after a vote, was TACO salad in a bag. Everyone loves this! <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />You take smaller bags of Doritos open them and them crush the chips then fill your bag with all the ingredients to create a taco salad. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I had the choices of taco ground beef, lettuce, tomato, black olives, green onions, sour cream Ranch dressing, salsa. Whatever you like in a taco salad. You eat it straight out of the bag which means EASY clean-up!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SqSaC2YAW1w/TpnTwHCAEiI/AAAAAAABGR0/Osr_tNM-D6I/s400/IMG_5799.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3FAMa1OBtyI/Tpot-mAFDtI/AAAAAAABGUA/yQVlYO205fY/s400/IMG_5806.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-u1Fj7kpm-fk/TpottmVHFiI/AAAAAAABGTs/4pJpE4lmDww/s400/IMG_5804.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Emma decided that she would like to have a canvas class at her party so after supper we made canvas art projects.

I was very excited and did a lot of planning when it came to this project. Part of the fun is deciding on the "theme" of your box and collecting all the little treasures that you may want to put inside. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I decided on a Halloween theme because it is coming soon, but was really torn about making one for Christmas. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fPAyIDvZumg/TpBNzjHQZoI/AAAAAAABGLg/H8e-PRsYdc0/s400/IMG_5738.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span></span></span><br />

You can also leave pieces out in order to create a larger space. There is also a clear window that you can use on your box or leave it out. If you have elements that stick out of the box, you will not need the window. If you do use the clear window make sure that you remove the protective coating on it.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px;

I set out to try...<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9_7zJBOcySw/TpW9mLlpYTI/AAAAAAABGO8/ULIDc_yvUxE/s400/IMG_5778.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span> </span></span><br />

There was certain elements that I thought about before making this so that I would be able to take it apart and reverse things. The elements on the outside of the box were adhered with velcro, making them easy to change from Halloween embellishments to Christmas. I also adhered the back two feet with velcro so they can come off and the contents flipped. Those two feet are not as solidly attached but when standing they were fine and held the box up.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;

padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />So here I reversed all the the halloween themed boxes and was left with another clean slate!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />So I decided that I would create this side a Christmas theme.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I was thinking about what the difference is between the two... </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">They both come in the same wonderful colors, but the properties of these products is different.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">So do we need to have both? OFCOURSE we do! and here is why! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;"> </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">They give different effects. You can see the stain on the left is a more solid even effect (heavier coverage), the example on the right is a softer effect (lighter coverage). </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">Which is better? Neither is better just depends on what effect you are trying to achieve.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-92Dsm-di8Qk/Totk_QB2ANI/AAAAAAABGKg/xFg_2X1QLTk/s400/IMG_5729.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">Both can be activated by water, you still get that washed effect but the stain is still darker and the ink is still lighter.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6T-vy4Jca2M/TotmjQRhawI/AAAAAAABGKk/pRuBB4Rg-Jg/s400/IMG_5730.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">The Distress Stain also is great for using on ribbon or other fabric you would like to dye, this is great because you always have the right color ribbon, flowers, canvas! You can see by the two examples the different effects on the flower ribbon.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G3ncKZMpNQQ/Touj3jj56iI/AAAAAAABGKw/OeSSoY_1KDk/s400/IMG_5731.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">You can stamp with both. The ink gives you a more defined image as opposed to the stain which is heavier and kind of "bleeds" a little. Just depends what you are looking for. Distress Inks can also be used with embossing powders where as the stains can't because they are too fluid.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FoEppnIxEb8/Toujwf7CxfI/AAAAAAABGKs/Cb5S8jEI74c/s400/IMG_5732.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">For this I used the stained background with the ink stamped image. I like the crisper image this produced.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OHvPzfcB_Mc/Tou1SLXD84I/AAAAAAABGLM/GLDrqBvY23E/s400/IMG_5736.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CSlaRzY01gM/Tou1XTFnYsI/AAAAAAABGLQ/_2NOZVVTeo8/s400/IMG_5737.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">Here is the finished product!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18419549890355690120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933253132108610991.post-18183553440371413982011-09-28T19:16:00.000-05:002013-04-11T12:50:17.636-05:00Pumpkin Patch<br />

I punched a hole in the top and bottom ends of my paper strips. Placed a brad in one end and secured it, then at the top end I pulled a knotted piece of ribbon through the punched hole at the top then secured it with a brad.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cwyLqjQPRac/ToJx11gwHAI/AAAAAAABGGI/7f8JnvJA4zY/s400/IMG_5689.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I spread The papers apart until it created a round pumpkin shape. Once both ends were secured with brads I sprayed the inside of the pumpkin orange but you could also use a double sided paper. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-color: initial; border-width: initial;"><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YWnd7YWWP1Y/ToJx7U4NZ-I/AAAAAAABGGU/wR6FN2PHw3g/s400/IMG_5691.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I thought that you could see better the finished project with the tissue paper inside, but decided that I actually liked it better with the tissue paper. I also think that with the addition of the tissue paper it would allow you to make a little bit larger if you wanted, it would give a little more support.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Hope this inspires you to create your own pumpkin patch! </span></span></div>

I have a few circle punches that are in ascending sizes.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">So this week I decided to show some of my favorite ways to use my circle punches, but these ideas could easily work with most basic shaped punches.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">In the first example I had this bold polka dot paper and punched out the red and used pop dots to raise the punched out shape. Each punched circle is covered in glossy accents and outlined in red stickles. I love this card I think it would work as a feminine or masculine card.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xjfPTNtw37c/TmV8hXY-tdI/AAAAAAABFrY/as_idmtxTl0/s400/IMG_5321.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pmZ2G1fFdB8/TmV8NPZHpFI/AAAAAAABFrY/Pkrr2qYyPSs/s400/IMG_5322.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">The second example I punched out different sized circles and created a "scallop" pattern with them. Once I added the bows and the faux stitching it also reminded me of a swag banner.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Pxt6wmZ-gdY/TmV8GgYZOWI/AAAAAAABFrY/irzn4h8OZZ0/s400/IMG_5317.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hm2mOAAZM-A/TmV8bMTh_5I/AAAAAAABFrY/jcOcEzp_qzY/s400/IMG_5324.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">The third example I created a "window" with the punch. I suspended a punched heart by stapling the heart to the sides of the circle. I made this card very simple design which I loved, but then wanted to add to it. I really like this card card both ways depending what you would be using it for.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-G2lgdq59dmU/TmV7_bK-EsI/AAAAAAABFrY/ZxLx2vzWFFc/s400/IMG_5316.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_UF7bZCPbks/TmV8VJ0FamI/AAAAAAABFrY/GasXUD3C_CE/s400/IMG_5323.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">Here is the window closer-up.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Co5WK4scQ5I/TmV74ydkLXI/AAAAAAABFrY/DnPMw3vyNjM/s400/IMG_5315.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18419549890355690120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933253132108610991.post-49109979695469352492011-08-31T09:42:00.000-05:002013-04-11T12:46:23.565-05:00Smash Products Exposed!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I used the SMASH tapes, pads, flag clips and tabs.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JT8-hIUrqKU/Tl4_qTS_QtI/AAAAAAABFJU/Y4ztkIOoBao/s400/IMG_4913.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I cut apart one of the journaling spots in the pads and used it for my title as well as journaling. I also cut the "like this" tape to use it for the sentiments, not as an adhesive to stick things down.

I know that this one will be added to.

Sometimes you have items left over from something that is not really enough for a layout but adds a nice element to a SMASH page.In this page the "doll" I made was something left over I had, I wrapped it with the twine, to create a dress! I am really loving using my paints and doodles to add to my pages. I created the background of the page with some paints and used water color crayons to doodle on the page. </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-avlvAbG4LGY/TlUrGlLdIFI/AAAAAAABFH8/YzAz6nImU9s/s400/IMG_4898.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tyZxmKJJF98/TlUrMq7-HnI/AAAAAAABFIE/_FVR5YDIe7I/s400/IMG_4899.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">In this page it was a page I had last time but has changed yet again. SMASH pages can constantly change because there always room to add something else! I love the idea of adding drawings the girls make me lots of cute pictures and they are were so proud that I would put them in my SMASH book, they were looking for just the right one! </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lEjZFPkk85c/TkHCueriLrI/AAAAAAABFBE/dAHlnleaeyM/s400/IMG_4877.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rXccIb-qUgo/TlUrVrSGmBI/AAAAAAABFIM/WOR6WL56HRA/s400/IMG_4901.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">This process never ends it's just always evolving...</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18419549890355690120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933253132108610991.post-57524339221732910252011-08-24T22:50:00.000-05:002011-11-22T21:38:56.954-06:00Smash Book Cover<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week at </span><a href="http://www.loveisinthedetails.ca/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Love is in the Details</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">This week I wanted to show you how I decorated the cover of my SMASH book.</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I really enjoyed personalizing this book! I think that with the smash books you have so many opportunities to make it your own. </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I choose the Pretty Pink book and this is what it looked like before I added my personal touch. There is a embossed pattern of the front cover of most of the books the pink has a floral pattern. </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-r99GTpITllI/TjMYVzAWP5I/AAAAAAABE2w/-F2MIupvVGY/s400/IMG_4848.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;"></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I decided to paint the flowers to really make them POP! I used the Claudine Hellmuth paints for the cover. </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">They are perfect for this because of the varying coverage you can get with this paint. Very soft and translucent good for shading and very heavy and solid for more graphic appearance just depending on how much you apply. </span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-trQ_sm7fCJE/TjS-EReBzEI/AAAAAAAAAzU/Mhy1HT3dXv0/s400/15559800673.jpg" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I then decided that it needed to be outlined in black. I always find the black outline just gives it a finished look. After outlining everything in black I then covered the outline in glossy accents and of course added some sparkle with Stickles! The glossy accents I am just loving lately in all my projects it gives it a "wet" look, awesome effect!</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EKy7OkvdTO0/Tj1Hxrn8-CI/AAAAAAABE80/fVphLaseqAM/s400/IMG_4868.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="300" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QJuZNRbeuLM/Tj1HjqkhoXI/AAAAAAABE8k/h4ZPiYHYEJI/s400/IMG_4867.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="400" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8KaveBZ4bTo/Tj1H8A7QnoI/AAAAAAABE9A/r-OfMOgzYMQ/s400/IMG_4869.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">Here is my finished cover:</span><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><img alt="Image" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6f3pYX1y6-Y/Tj1HPiUTR6I/AAAAAAABE8I/_3ttZdtMEE8/s400/IMG_4866.JPG" style="background-color: #ececec; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ececec; color: #323d4f;">I hope that you are enjoying the process of Smash and all the exciting elements to this line!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18419549890355690120noreply@blogger.com0
