Oh, Happy Day!

This is how excited my kids and their cousins were about starting school today...

Can't wait for them to get home so I can hear all about their first day!

My Spin on the Pin {8.10.12}

Something that I love, but don't do enough of, is sewing on my cards.  I pinned THIS CARD specifically so I would remember to pull out my sewing machine. 

Here's My Spin on the Pin...

My sewing needs work!!  Those lines aren't perfect, but they'll do.

This is the perfect card to use all those scraps up on.  I love that the paper doesn't have to be matchy-matchy (is that even a word?), but inking the edges helps pull it all together.

Have a great weekend....

...and Happy Pinning!

My Spin on the Pin {8.03.12}

I recently bought the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!, and have been looking for the perfect project to use it on.  THIS CARD gave me the inspiration I needed.

Here's My Spin on the Pin...

I had to try it on a white card too...

Love, love, LOVE the chevron!!  Now that I've gotten my feet wet {so to speak} using the embossing folder, I can't wait to try making more cards with it!

I also decided to make a few cards using the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I think I'll have to try making this card with other embossing folders, just to see how it changes the look of the card. 

Have a great weekend, and Happy Pinning!
