What I am Reading Right Now...



Reading the book right now, honestly it started out good, then hit a slow spot for me, but now it has picked up again and I am really enjoying it.  Want to read it before the movie comes out in the spring starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson.  See trailer here.

Make It Monday Challenge - February 21

Every Monday Papertrey Inc. will feature a video challenge.  The challenge for the week of February 21 was in an awesome video by Dawn McVey to make a card where you use Scor Tape to adhere glitter to

it.  I love glitter and that and Easter so go together.  Here is my take on the card, right on the wire, but better late than never.  I love how the glitter is almost translucent over the eggs.

One More Valentine

When creating a card for my daughter, I just had to use the tag I created for the PTI challenge.  It was so pretty and made such a lovely card.  The card base whtie and the patterned paper is from Simple Valentine (Papertrey Ink).

Tag & Frame Challenge

Papertrey is at it again, offering up another amazing prize for their 4th anniversary.  Today's challenge was to create a tag that incorporates a frame of some kind!  Keeping up with my Valentine's creations this week, here is my entry.

To make my handmade flower I cut a second scalloped circle.  Using sharp scissors I started on the outside edge and cut in a spiral towards the centre.  I then started winding tighly, once again towards the centre, and left the last bit as a base to glue the flower down.  Before adding some Zip Dry, I released the flower to relax the petals, then secured the flower to the base.  A perfect addition to a Valerntine treat or bouquet of flowers.
