A card as Easy as 1-2-3

I get to share a fun and easy as 1-2-3 card to make using products from Dies R Us.

Please check out the Dies R Us Blog to see just how easy this card is to make.

Fall Jars

Today I am sharing some jars that I decorated for table decorations for our 50^th class reunion.

I started with some small pint jars that have solar lights in them, then cut a strip of burlap to size.

Next step is to glue the burlap around the jar.

Then I took 2 different colors of twine and tied them around the burlap. I used Divine Twine Burlap in Royal Blue and then Divine Twine in bright yellow.

Next I embellished with a fall them to complete the jars. I made a total of 6 of them and love how they turned out. The twine is just what was needed to set them off.

Don't forget to check out the store at Whisker Graphics to see all the great colors of twine and other products available.

Just two colors

Sharing a card I made using the new card sketch over at Stick it Down Blog.  Please hop on over and check out all the sketches for this month and give one or all of them a try.

This month we teamed up with the challenge blog White... With One. Their color this month is elephant grey. They're using our sketches and we're using 75% white on our pages with a touch of grey. Be sure to read their rules HERE and play along with both challenges. Two for one! How fun!
