Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Ideas and Tips: Fantastic New Samples, 2 Free Printable Gratitude Quotes & See Us at Scrapbook Expo Show Aug 12&13!

Hi Everyone,

I'm doing an overdue post before I leave for the Santa Clara Scrapbook Expo Show today and have everything from boxes, clocks, cards & layouts. We are driving to the show and would love to meet you if it's in your area. We also have free gifts with any purchase over $15.00.

I'm so grateful for all of your support I also have 2 free printable gifts in vintage quotes today with a 'gratitude and thankful' theme! They are out of an old 1914 calendar book (the dates were no good) but the calligraphy lettering is hand done. There will be more of of them on the CD's we are working on. Please remember our printable freebies are for personal use only. Just right click until it gets as large as possible and left click it with your mouse to save it to a picture file.

I also have some wonderful samples to show you and check out the gift boxes and clocks! First, look at this fabulous layout DT Leader Vicki Chrisman created using stamps from our Down on the Farm and Farm Chicks Stamps. You can get details HERE on Vicki's Blog

I adore the pretty card DT Member Linda Duke created using our new Vintage Silhouettes Clear Art Stamp Set. You can get the supply list and details HERE on Linda's Blog

I love the way DT Member Heidi Blankenship used the Expoxy Stickers we've been selling
over the dress form from our Sew Nice Scraps and our Material Girl Stamps

Look at this pretty card by DT Member Michele Kovack created using an image from our Love Mail Scraps with an embossing die. Love the glitter! You can get details HERE on Michele's Blog

Becca from Amazing Grace has been printing papers from our CD again and creating more beautiful card s like this one where she shrunk down the sheet music birdy page and used another sheet behind it . You can get the details HERE on Becca's Blog. I will also be posting some tutorials on using the CD soon after I get back home.

I also love this wonderful box Becca created and used the same CD paper Jan used on the clock posted farther down. It's not our sentiment stamp but you can get the full supply list HERE on Becca's Blog You have to check out how she added the little 'spools of wisdom inside.

Here is a fun box that DT Member Amy Teets created using our Alice Scraps which is perfect for a birthday gift. You can see photos and details HERE on Amys Blog

I'm in love with this clock that DT Member Jan Hennings whipped up HERE from a junk store clock she picked up. I think it's the paper she used from our CD, as it's one of my favorites. Look around your house and see what you might be able to re-vamp with some of your fav paper scraps!

DT Member Victoria Warren-Mears also made a cute clock and did her's in a retro style for the kitchen, using papers from our CD and images from our Domestic Goddess Scraps.

Debbie Marcinkiewicz has been busy creating and recently made this card using this image from our Wonderland Tea Scraps and you get the rest of the supply list and see more photos HERE at the Shabby Tea Room Challenge.

Look at this beautiful card Debbie created using our Blessing Scraps! It's no surprise she won the Pink Elephant Challenge. I love the ribbon rose she added with this image

Darlene Pavlick is hosting the Crafty Secrets Challenge this week at Splitcoast and I love here idea to case an older card for inspiration and she pick one of my fav designers - Lisa Zappa! Lisa used our Sew Special Stamps HERE on this card and stamped the 3 ladies a second time to create a row, with the sentiment.

Here is the card that Darlene created and she used our Garden Girl Stamp set and you can get the details and join in the fun HERE as today is the first day!

Ooops, I almost forgot, check out these great paper weights DT Member Julie Campbell found at the dollar store and transformed HERE using our Mini Vintage Creative Scraps!
