Classy Curtain Call

Happy weekend everyone!! I hope that everyone out East is staying safe during this whole ordeal with 'Irene' - how scary!! My thoughts are with you all.

I have a few simple cards to share with you today using the elegant Curtain Call collection from Graphic 45.

Both cards are quite clean and simple but I really wanted to focus on the beautiful images in the papers themselves.

I'll be back tomorrow with a few photos and updates on my wee ones (who are all super sick right now... ugh - perfect timing with the start of school only a week or so away...) and please join me on Monday, August 29th for ZVA Creative's monthly blog hop!!

Take care

Trick or Treat Magic of Oz Style!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today I have a fun project to share with you using The Magic of Oz collection from Graphic 45. Everyone on the design team was asked to create a Trick or Treat bag for the Summer 2011 CHA show. It was so neat to see everyone's takes on their project - all very different and unique.

Here is my take on the trick or treat bag.  I love the warm, rich colours in this collection.  Lots of fussy cutting on this project with many popped out elements.

I am simply in love and addicted to all the Metal Staples from Graphic 45.  I think I use their hinges on pretty much every project I create!

I also used some of Graphic 45's newly released chipboard tags to add a little dimension.  For the metal button, I simply painted the inside a rusty colour to match the papers.  The beautiful ribbon is from May Arts.

Thank you so much for your visit today!!

Moves Like Jagger...

I am TOTALLY addicted to that new song by Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it and so do the kids!!  This is what we did tonight while waiting for our pasta to cook and for daddy to return home from work...


Gotta grin right? Best 3 and 5 year old dancers ever! LOL!! Enjoy your weekend!
