Our ShopHop Sale Specials Dec 26 - 31 and Shabby Tea Room Samples!

Hi Everyone,  Happy Holidays & Welcome to our Splitcoast ShopHop Sale! 

Here's our Specials, plus we are sponsors for the Shabby Tea Room today.  Their DT ladies have created fabulous samples and they 2 ways to win CD # 2 and a $25.00 Gift Certificate with a great Giveaway and you can enter their challenge!

Here's a link to our Store Sale!

One free pendant & necklace will be included in orders over $20.00. They are round or square clear glass blanks and come with a silver plated bail you can glue on the back after you add an image.  DT Member Heidi Blankenship created this sample using an image and words 'Vintage Girl' from our Mini Creative Scraps.  The free necklaces are coffee brown, sagr green, white or black. Please specify in the message box when ordering if you have a preference on round or square and necklace color and we will do our best to match but necklace colors are limited to more white than others.

The bail on this sample Heidi made is slightly different but you can see how the glass has a bit of a dome shape so it seems to magnify the image.  You can use any clear glue to add images or photos. We've used Diamond Glaze, glue sticks, Zip Dry, even a glue pen around the edges works great to stick an image to the glass.  I will show more samples in my next post.

 

Look at the fabulous samples DT Member  Debbie Marcinkiewicz created below and you see all the details on her blog.  Debbie just happens to also be the Shabby Tea Room Host. 

Everyone used something from our CD # 2 Creating With Vintage Illustrations and and you have to see the great samples the other 'Shabby' ladies have created!

Melissa made a Resolution Wish Box,  she also has a Giveaway for our CD's

Sheri designed a pretty Card using pretty papers and images off CD 2

Cindy made a beautiful floral clutch purse using the purse template on CD 2

Quick Christmas Card Printable Instructions, Plus Sparkle Challenge Details & More!

Hi Everyone,    

I'm back with some Quick & Easy Christmas Card Instructions using our Christmas Creative Scraps that DT leader Vicki Chrisman designed. You can also read about (and join in) the Sparkle Challenge I'm hosting over at Splitcoast, where a $50.00 random winner will be drawn next Monday. Here is a peek at the Gallery so far.

So many of you have ordered our Christmas Scraps I thought these sheets would be great for quick card ideas. You can simply click the images a couple of time to make them jumbo and save them to a picture file.

Vicki made these cards last year before our CD # 1 Creating With Vintage with Patterns was available so she just used random red & green papers. If you own our Christmas Scraps you may likely have papers that will match.

Vicki used our on sale Snowbunnies Stamp set to decorate the envelopes and inside of her cards and stamped another card with this cute set posted below

 

Look at the way DT Member Linda Duke used White Liquid Applique on the same cute girl off the Christmas Scraps on her card below last year. It looks like Linda also stamped her background with the Christmas music stamp from our on sale Vintage Christmas Set.

Her is the cute card Vicki did with the Snowbunnies stamps. This color combo is so popular now for Christmas. It has a fresh retro appeal with the polka dots and wave.

 

Here are 2 more adorable cards DT Member Michele Kovack created last year with the same stamp set.  Hey - Michele is still in the running for the Best Blog Contest and it's now between her's and 1 other Blog. You can vote for Michele HERE

 

I also wanted to tell you about the cool digital scrapbook album DT Member Victoria Warren-Mears has been creating using our two CD's, #2 Creating with Vintage Illustrations and  #1 with Patterns. You can see more pages here on Victoria's Blog. 

Lastly a silly photo of my mum & I at a brunch celebrating Scott's & my dad's birthdays on the weekend. We all wore moustaches to tease my nephew who has grown a jumbo one and not shaving until his finals are over. Aside from the moustaches I'm amazed at how much we look alike as I get older. Good thing she is beautiful!

PS - I'm going to show you some beautiful birdy projects on my next post.

Wishing you joy & creativity
