Pretty Pinwheels

I'm on vacation so I thought I'd post a video about the Miracle Workshop on the Go. I have been using the Kraft Color-Ready Borders a lot lately (it is included in the Miracle Workshop on the Go and is also sold separately). The borders are self adhesive and using them has been a really quick way for me to add a little visual interest to my scrapbook layouts and cards. This video gives you a quick demo on how to make some pretty pinwheels. It's a nice embellishment which is 3-D but not too bulky.

Studio J Layouts -- Bella and Miracle

I just placed my March Studio J order so here are a couple of layouts from this batch.

Snail Mail

At preschool, we have different themes of the week. Recently, we had the theme of post office and mail. The kids had a blast making and receiving letters in their mail boxes. Some of them were so excited about getting mail, that they sat right in front of their mailboxes while their friends delivered their Valentine! I could certainly relate to that feeling. Haven't you ever waited by the mailbox? It got me thinking about how much fun it is to receive real handwritten letters and cards. I know that email and texting are so much faster, but don't you miss getting actual letters in the mail? I sure do! With that in mind, I made a bunch of these note cards so I can write short letters to friends when I get a chance. I sent one out to a friend from high school the other day (wow, I've known her for 25 years!). I hope she smiled when she saw it wasn't a bill!

This is another card that was inspired by a sketch from the Clean and Simple stamping blog but I changed it so much I'm not sure I should call it a variation! I like the idea of using strips of paper to create a background piece. It's a good way to use up any coordinating scraps of paper you might have leftover from other projects.

Supplies used: (C1349) Ambiance stamp set, (D1222) Tiny Typewriter Alphabet stamp set, (X7133B) Miracle Level 2 paper pack, (X5642) Cocoa cardstock, (Z2114) Cocoa stamp pad, (Z2353) Sweet Leaf marker, nestabilitiesPin It

Sneak Peek --- Miracle Paper

Here's a sneak peek at some of the paper (Miracle) that will be in the new catalog. You'll probably recognize it from a previous Constant Campaign. This card layout is another one inspired from a CTMH Idea Book. When you see the new catalog in February, it will be on page 49. The stamp sets are not new but I love that little bird in the A Tweet stamp set!

Supplies Used: (D1438) Circle of Love stamp set, (A1104) A Tweet stamp set, (X7133B) Miracle Level 2 paper pack, (Z2153) Sweet Leaf stamp pad, (Z2114) Cocoa stamp pad, (Z2103) Bamboo stamp pad, (Z2117) Crystal Blue stamp pad, (Z1327) Sparkles Blue and Green Assortment,
