Well, my birthday is right around the corner...Like Monday!  Good Grief!  This is going to be a special one as I join the Mid-Century Club this year.  I never ever thought that I would actually be 50!  I thought I would just stop at 49 and that's how it worked...It seemed to me to be so far off, but it's here and I want to celebrate it by giving away something that I love and use all the time...

Here are the details:

Here's what I'm giving away...

My favorite tool to cut paper or chipboard...The Rotatrim 15-inch Cutter.  A $250.00 Value!  It truly cuts Heavy Weight chipboard like Butter!  Love this tool!

The Luminary House Kit- Done!

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are all are doing well and feeling happy!  It's starting to feel cooler and crisp tonight in Central Texas...which I totally love and this weather is perfect for the this post...

Tonight, I'm so excited to share a new kit that I just completed.  A fun and fast project that I call The Luminary House.

The Luminary House Kit comes in either pre-cut 2x heavy black or Kraft chipboard and an instruction sheet on how to build it.  The house can be built in about 15 to 30 minutes depending on your skill level using only some glue...I prefer Glossy Accents as my glue, as I know it works and holds wonderfully...The size is 4-1/2 x 5-inches.

The Luminary House is an awesome addition to your holiday decorations...Once built and decorated, place a tea light under the house and on the little base and DONE!  Would make a great gift too!  Just add your own paper or paint, "snow" and trees if you like...Make it yours and decorate it any way you would like...This is how I did mine using Graphic 45's Christmas Carol Paper Collection:

The Luminary House...

For the first time, I am excited that these kits will not only be available in my shop but the following stores:

Betty's Creative Studio, North Carolina

Big Mouth Scrappers, Forney, Texas

Scrapbook N' More, New Braunsfels, Texas

Scrapadabadoo.com, Marysville, Washington

Scrapbook Island Creative Escape, Los Gatos, California

The Scrapbooking Studio, Moline, Illinois 

Clipper Street Scrapbook Company, Langley, BC

Scrap Addicts, Edmonton, Alberta

Hope you give it a go!  

Thanks so much!

The World's Fair Ferris Wheel Kits and Tutorials DONE!!

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you all are having a marvelous start to this Halloween weekend.  If it's going to be rainy like it is here in Central Texas, I might have a cure for those rainy day blues....

I'm so excited to announce that I've finally finished The World's Fair Ferris Wheel tutorial!  I totally love this project.  It will always be near and dear to my heart.  I created this over three years ago as one of my pieces for the Graphic 45 Design Team Finals.  I have been asked by many when I would do a tutorial for it.  I always thought it would be one of those projects that I would just make, but I finally did it...I wrote a tutorial.

The tutorial is FULL of countless pictures and includes many templates to help you make this amazing project.  I have also kitted a few World's Fair Kits and cut extra "Ferris Wheels" to hopefully help you create the project.

Here's The World's Fair Ferris Wheel...

If you are interested in making the Ferris Wheel there are several ways to do it....

Thanks Tons!
