Growing Pains!

Hi everyone!  I'm sure by now you have noticed my postings have been few and far between.  I'm suffering from growing pains!  As you know, it's summer break and I have 3 children at home...all day long...............................  Between everyday tasks, 3 kids, vacations and 2 businesses I'm busy to say the least!  I'm working very hard to update things and keep you up to date on the things that may change.  For starters, my online presence is going to take a hit.  Believe it or not, being online in several areas is quite time consuming.  I will however still post videos, blog posts, Facebook posts and Pinterest findings as I'm able!  Please hang in there with me while I find my new groove!  My in person class schedule will not change.  I will still be doing my Just Cards Class as I always have.  My online classes, for now, will be removed until I can find the time to dedicate to them.  I appreciate your understanding and hope you will join me for an in person class or even take advantage of the Class by Mail option for Just Cards Classes!  Let me know if you have any questions or comments!  Email me HERE

Butterfly Frame

Are you butterflied out yet?!  Never!

This project hangs in my craft room as a decor element and I love it!

It starts with a decorative frame designed with inserts.  I measured all the spaces and then designed each block separately before placing it in it's space.  All of the designer series paper is from the English Garden pack.  I chose the colors straight from the paper!  Stampin' Up! makes coordination a breeze when you use what they've already given you.  I often start with a DSP and pull my colors from it to work with before I event start a project.

This would be a great gift for someone you love!

Butterfly Frame - BWB Video Series #7

Last, but not least!  This is my favorite of all 7 projects for one simple reason...my hubs.  Yep, I'm that lucky girl who got to marry her best friend.  Together we have 3 beautiful children and love our little family together.  This project is super easy to do and would look amazing on anyone's desk.

I found this frame at the dollar store.  It's a 5X7 clear plastic frame with a wrap around bottom.  I slide a 5" X 7" piece of Everyday Chic DSP in between the two layers of plastic.  

To create the banners, just cut out a banner using Basic Black.  Stamp your sentiment on a piece of Whisper White card stock and with the next size smaller banner, cut out your sentiment.  Layer the two and attach it to the front of your frame.  The full butterfly is cut out with Bold Butterfly Framelits and a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  Stamp your butterfly image on a piece of Whisper White and cut it out with the Butterfly Thinlits.  Add a piece of Wax paper between your image and thinlit to aid in getting it out.

Attach this piece to the top of your banner and attach your favorite picture and your done!  Ready to gift or set on your desk!!

Project Life by Stampin' Up! BWB Video Series #6

Did you know that Stampin' Up! partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins, creator of Project Life, to offer exclusive Project Life by Stampin' Up! products!  I have a space in my craft room solely dedicate to all of my Project Life goodies.  As a mom with 3 small children there are lots of moments that warrant photographs that can be documented and treasured forever!  I want my children, grandchildren and future generations to be able to touch photographs and paper that has my hand writing on it so they too can experience our life through documenting our story!

This page is done simply, which is the beauty of Project Life.  You can fancy it up any way you want, or leave it super simple.  I started with one of our 6X8 Page protectors number 03.  The 4 pockets are 3" X 4".  After stamping, punching and sliding those bits in my page was done in a jiffy!
