Throwback Tuesday: I love our Watercolor Pencils!

Today's Throwback Tuesday post is quite literally a throwback to one of my very most favorite cards I made last year. I thought it might be fun to dig this out and share with all of you one of my first cards I made with our Watercolor Pencils. (Actually, thinking back on it, I believe this was the very first time I used our Watercolor Pencils!)

Eeek! Here it is!

Would you look at that bright, colorful pink background!? Yep, that was the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and I used the Aqua Painter to get the watercolor effect. I used last year's Love Notes Framelits (now retired) to make my envelop and hearts. The "love" sentiment is from the Sunshine Wishes Framelits (not retired!) and it was so perfect!

I made this card for my husband last year. While the colors aren't exactly "masculine", he loved it anyway and clearly, took good care of my card---and thankfully so, as I can share it with you today!

If you haven't tried out Stampin' Up!'s watercolor pencils, you really need to! They are so much fun! In fact, I invite you to attend my Interactive Card Class on Sunday, so you can get to play with them! Click Here to register!

Hope you enjoyed a peek at a card from last year's stash and I hope to see you around soon!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12! Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!? I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement. So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like! I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12. The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month. Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception! I saw her use the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and make a pie card! It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends! PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!! So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog! So you'll be a step ahead of the new products! Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope that your week is going well! Can you believe that August is half-way over?? I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week! Eek! I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households. (Or all households, really. I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush! I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile! You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
