We returned last week from a FABULOUS trip to Hawaii - Oahu and Maui specifically! Just wanted to say HOWDY!

Summertime Mantel
Howdy friends! I have been putting off getting out my Summertime Mantel decor for much too long now. Not because I don't enjoy it, but because I didn't LOVE what I had last year - so what to do.... Make something new! of. course. I am love, love, loving chevron patterns right now - and the yellow/gray color combo. So I just happened to receive some cool stuff in my monthly Scraproom kit this month (well, okay I receive really cool stuff EVERY month - but this was what I needed for my mantel!!!). Hi-ho, hi-ho its off to work I go!
Here is what I created!!!
Oh, this bottle happens to be a really EASY project! I had an empty wine bottle that was yellow AND I found this grey chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby (which was a total buy on the whim, daughter sayin' "WHY do you need to buy that?" me responding - "cuz I like it" kind of find!). Happy dance! I just wrapped a piece around it, tied some twine and made a sunburst flower out of paper. Cute, no?
Oh, and after looking at the mantel for a few days, I decided to add something else - but I don't have a photo of it yet. I'll be back to share that later, m'kay?!

It"s Been Awhile
Howdy friends! Goodness me, I have not been on here in quite some time. Unfortunately I have not had the mojo flowing to do much of anything crafty, but I'm slowly getting it back. End of the school year is just a week away, and we've been crazy busy with all kinds of stuff!
Here's a quick card I made using the Make It Monday video series from Papertrey Ink. Sometimes when I'm in a rut, I know I can go there and get some inspiration! This week was a great way to use some scraps that I've been collecting.

For the first time in awhile, I did not "title" the card since I wanted to be able to use it for whatever I needed to. Turns out, I need a birthday card! But wouldn't this be great for a "Thank You" or a "Just Because" type card?
Thanks for coming over today!
Supplies:
Cardstock - Select White, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink)
Patterned Paper - my paper stash (various companies)
Stamps - Delightful Dahlia (Papertrey Ink)

Ink - Hibiscus (Papertrey Ink); Chestnut (ColorBox)

Fab Friends and "Fab"ric Shoes
Howdy friends! Its gorgeous here today and luckily I will get to spend time outside watching my son play rugby today. Wanted to share 2 things with you today - so I'll try to make it short and sweet :)
First up - Fab Friend cards! PTI's Make It Monday Challenge this week is about Layering. I first made a basic one layer card, then I stepped it up and made a multi-layer card using the same basic layout. Very cute idea - it was fun to take it to the next level.
Next up - "Fab"ric Shoes! I'm super excited about these - I've recently seen on Pinterest using fabric to update your shoes. I've had these shoes for about 2 years and they've been in my to donate pile for about 6 months. Just didn't love them anymore - that is until I learned you could Mod Podge fabric on them and give them a new life!!!!! As you can see, I've only done one shoe so I could show you the before and after. Its super quick and didn't cost me a dime since I had the fabric, shoes, and Mod Podge already - SCORE! I'm also planning on making some cute shoe clip flowers to go with them - making several colors to go with whatever outfit I'm wearing that day! Check these babies out:
EEK! Now this next picture might scare you a bit - I know, I need a bit of sunshine on these legs of mine... :0)

Another Birthday Card
Howdy friends! Its been awhile since I've done anything in my studio - and shared anything. I've been busy doing stuff - just haven't made the time to get it up here! So - Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday challenge this week is to use leaf die cuts to make a flower. I pondered this one a bit since I don't have many dies - much less leaf ones. Funny enough, when I perused the dies, I came across the Delighful Dahlias dies! Lo and behold, it had leaf dies! 2 sizes! So I cut them out in 2 sizes and 2 colors then got busy creating a flower.
ttfn!

A Birthday Card
So, I have been collecting Copic Markers over the past year and have been using them off and on, very basic like. I don't really know how to use them very well yet, but I'm intrigued when I see someone who has used them to beautifully color images. I want to do that too!
When I come across a tutorial using Copics, I jump on board to learn. This week, PTI happens to have a Make It Monday challenge that incorporates Copics - Graduated Backgrounds! Let me tell ya - super easy...
I have a friend from church to send this card to. I am so excited that this came out exactly the way I envisioned it - I hope she likes it!
Well, that's all for now. I'm in the middle of reinventing this baby:
