New Cards

Cathy has been busy making new samples for the store. The cards she created using the flower kit and papers from Little Yellow Bicycle. The bingo cards are from Jenni Bowlen. I apologize for the poor photographs, but we have not had any sunshine in days, and I wanted to get something new on the blog. Anyway, the flowers just pop off the front of the cards. They would be great for a birthday or thinking of you type card, too! Everything is available from Allyscraps. Thanks for stopping by. Linda

Graphic 45 School Box

I love working with the new Graphic 45 chipboard box. And one of my favorite Graphic paper lines is the ABC Primer collection. This was a recent class at the store. We had a great response for this, so hopefully we can do another project along these lines again. You will need 6 sheets of Graphic 45 ABC Primer paper to do this, 2 of the paper with the ruler. I used the "addition/subtraction" sheet for the sides. All of the edges were inked after the paper was placed. Several of the ladies in class added a ribbon tie to theirs, placing the end of the ribbon underneath the paper on the front and back. Have a great, creative day and thanks for stopping by. Linda

Cards

We had a card class a few weeks ago at the store. It was a lot of fun, and everyone was happy with these three ideas. Products used were: Glitz Vintage Blue paper for the two blue cards, Reminisce Santa paper, kraft paper, baker's twine, and bling. The stamps for the holly leaves, post card and Merry Christmas are from Tim Holtz. We used Graphic 45 ABC Primer paper and stamps for the school days card, along with card stock. Have a great day!

We're Back!

It has been awhile, but hopefully we will be publishing on a regular basis. Today we have a mini album done with the Maya Road large tags and Fancy Pants paper. I also added two of the Maya Road mini envelopes. They are such fun to work with. All of the edges were inked with Cat's Eye Chestnut Roan, one of our favorites at the shop. If you're in the area, please stop by Allyscraps at the new location: 1217 E Main St in Plainfield, IN. The store is open Wednesday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, and Saturdays 10am to 5pm. There are samples everywhere! Cathy and I have been very busy. Thanks for stopping by. Linda
