PSA Essentials, Want2Scrap™, and Spellbinders™ All In One for Father's Day!

I was so excited to get to try PSA Essentials Stamps. I have never really tried a stamp quite like this and I was pleasantly surprised to see how super simple and clean the stamped image was. I love how well these stamps seemed to go with Want2Scrap™ products.


Of course since it is Father's Day I decided to make a Father's Day Card! My father passed away when I was young but I am bless to have a fantastic husband and father-in-law to spend the day with.


Check out all these great stamped images here. The stamp I used for this is part of the Fancy Flakes set but talk about versatile...it works perfectly here! I also used the Spellbinders™ Small Standard Circle Nestablilities™ #S4-116. They cut so cleanly and I love the little embossed edge! I added some Brown Circle Nestabling™ Circles, the 72 Count Orange Rhinestones, and Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen in Lime Green. That fits perfectly in the Spellbinders™ Nesablilites™ Die.


I hope you all had a wonderful day! Check back Thursday when I will have another project using all three of these fun companies again! Here is a little sneak!

Want2Scrap™ Curtain Call Card...

Here is my usual card disclaimer...I know I am not a card girl but...every now and again duty calls and I have to make a card. With Father's Day right around the corner it is that time. I pulled out some goodies from Want2Scrap™ and some fantastic paper from Graphic 45. I decided I wanted to make a "pretty" card that was still masculine.


I just love these papers from the Curtain Call release. The Nestabling™ Beaded Square Black Rhinestones, 72 Count Orange Rhinestones, and 72 Count Black Pearls look great together.


I love sprinkling a little glitter over the glue strips on the Nestabling™. It is such a great way to add a little POP to any project! Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to join us next week for our upcoming blog hop!

Thank You Provo Craft and lets help Joplin!!!

I am blessed to have a good life. This week has been a ton of fun and I wanted to thank Provo Craft for making it even better. A few days ago this box showed up at my door! What a fantastic surprise!! I truly appreciate their generosity and wanted to give them a very big THANK YOU for sending me a Cricut Expression, 4 cartridges and all these fun accessories for it!


Now it is my turn to give back! Nikki Sivils is collecting scrapbook products for the scrappers that have lost everything in the tornadoes that recently ravaged Joplin. I will be sending out a box...it may not bring their home back but it will put a smile on someone's face. Attached is all the information. In times like this the scrapbook world steps up and helps our fellow scrappers...lets all do what we can!

Here are all the details...


Thank you Nikki for all you are doing! You will have a box coming your way from me soon!
