Paper & Yarn

Journaling tags

Tuesdays and Thursdays are very busy around here. No time for heavy crafting. So, no new pages to post today.

I did list a new item in the shop. Journaling tags for scrappers. They are made from card stock that has been stamped with journaling lines. I added one of my flowerlette embellishments to the top.

They are available here.

Ughhhh...

Just a very quick update regarding my absence. I have been getting two children settled into college life and a third started with homeschooling. Plus all of the usual distractions of life. It seems every week, what I planned to do and I what took priority have not been one in the same.

For instance, I have this week off from chauffeur duty (hubby is off work), so, I figured I would get a few very belated chores done around the house and...wait for it...wait for it...some new work to put in my shop. Silly me. Nope. Not gonna happen.

Anywho, I have some pictures to upload and some videos to pass along and some updates to the project to post. Next week?? Yeah, we'll see. :)

'Til then.

p.s. More baby lizard news. Hubby found one, one morning, a couple of weeks ago - in one of my yarn bins. Yikes and how'd that get there?

Flowerlette #3

Flowerlette #3 is up. It is a special kind of card. I have a lot of alphabet sets - chipboard, stickers, rub ons, etc. - that I need to use. So, I came up with this idea.

This is a custom card. First, choose your letter. The front of the card will look the same except it will show the letter you choose. Then, choose your word for the inside of the card. It can be a name or any other word, e.g. A is for Awesome! Or, you can leave the inside blank and write your own word or message.

Giveaway #1

Giveaway #1 is now active. To enter, leave a comment here. To make is interesting, answer this optional question. "Who should leave feedback first, the buyer or the seller? Or does it matter?" Please leave an e-mail address, so I can contact the winner.

No purchase required to enter, but, anyone who makes a purchase from my shop will receive 2 entries.

The drawing will take place after the 25th flowerlette is sold. Check the countdown in the right hand column. Again, no purchase necessary to enter, but, I will not draw a name until the 25th flowerlette is sold, so, I do not have an exact date of the drawing.

Now, for the goodies. I will be giving away this stamp and ink set, plus, some surprise goodies. The stamp is unused and the ink still has the wrapper on. The stamp says "destiny".

Good luck!

Flowerlette #1

I have four new cards finished which will go up in the shop this week. The first one will go up tomorrow morning (if you're reading this on Wednesday, it should already be up) It is a generic "hello" card. The flowerlette cards will be OOAK, except this one. It is a run of 150 cards I did several years ago, but, didn't sell all. I have a number of them left and will list them until they run out.

BTW, the green yarn I used was hand dyed with lemon lime koolade in my dishwasher.

The other three are a set (each sold separately) of a sentiment card; a birthday card; and what I'm calling an alphabet card. Each was made using the same ink, hand stamped patterned paper, and, of course, include a flowerlette.

I am working on my first embellishment kit which will be suitable for card making or scrapbooking. It will include a set of flowerlettes for your use, plus, a number of handmade embellishment elements from the cards in the set. The kit will include a flowerlette "daisy" like the one from card #1 above; hand stamped sentiments from the other cards in the set; a hand stamped patterned paper from the card set; a journaling tag; an element of three (to be explained, later); and more.

I will also be listing some flowerlette mini note card sets and altered moleskine journals. Stay tuned.
