Double Rainbow

2009-04-20T08:22:00.001-07:00

We had this wicked rain storm one day and then out of no where it stopped and the sun started to break through just enough to create this beautiful double rainbow. I just had to get a couple pictures of it. Just too cool not to share. The pictures aren't the best but good enough to enjoy the beauty.

Crafty Secrets

2009-04-15T07:21:00.000-07:00

Crafty Secrets clear stamps are in stock now!! I absolutely love the look of these stamps. They are vintage inspired stamps created by designer Cindy Van Koll. The quality and attention to detail is incredible!!
Just take a peek at this stamp set, Fairyland

What are the benefits of using clear stamps? Well, they are really easy to use. Simply peel them off and place them on an acrylic block and you are good to go!! This allows you to mix and match and come up with your own creative images. Clear stamps are lightweight and easy to store. They are much more economic then mounted stamps.
You will find these beautiful stamps in my store now.

New Prima Flowers!

2009-04-09T12:52:00.000-07:00

So we all love Prima right?? I mean really have you met a paper crafter yet who just doesn't drool over Prima? I have been selling Prima for years now and let me tell you they have come a loooong way!! The quality is better, the flowers are prettier, even the packaging is better!!! Check out these from the Juliette Collection.

If you can believe it, these are even better looking in person!!

The Caboodle Flowers are shown here.

These flowers come in a pretty tin, and I know you can find a use for the tin once the flowers are gone!!

Take a peek at these other flowers from Prima!! Just awesome.

There are so many ways you can add to a flower. I love using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Ranger Stickles on my flowers. Try spraying different colors of Glimmer Mist on for a cool shimmery effect. You can also use Self-Adhesive Pearls by Kaiser Craft. Put a small pearl on each petal. Oooolala. What ideas can you come up with?

Happy Crafting!!
