Jaded Blossom Guest Designer

Happy Sunday fellow crafters! 

Today I am a Guest Designer over on the Jaded Blossom blog.

 The last 2 months have been crazy and I have not had access to my crafting supplies which leads to my extremely simple project:

Here is what I used:

Jaded Blossom: Card Mat Die, Fancy Topper insert die, Winter Die, Christmas Die, Rectangle Die 1

Here is the rest of the story, LOL.  My husband and I decided to sell our house and ,y mom decided to sell her house so we could combine households.  

There were a few restrictions on the house we were looking for.  We need enough room for all of us to have a bedroom (total of 4 bedrooms), a room for my husband to have his office (he works from home), and a room big enough for a 12 foot long arm quilting machine.

We finally found a house that would work but we need to make a few modifications to fit my mom's quilting machine and all of my paper crafting supplies.  All of my crafting supplies have been packed up and only had access to an ink pad, JB Dies and JB stamps.  

I am looking forward to the day that can get back into crafting.  As always thank you for stopping by and make each day creatively crafty and stay tuned for more craftiness!

Stay Cool

Happy Tuesday fellow crafters!  Katie here from 2 CraftyKatie’s dropping in to share with you something a little different.  A few weeks ago I was at a Stampin’ Up kit class and we made different 5x7 sheets with different says.  Inspirational and encouraging.  Here is my 5x7 KDB style:

 

 When Melissa released these owls I knew I had to have them.  The heat here in California has been HOT! It was 100 degrees, in the shade, at 8pm last night.  This little 5x7 is sitting on my kitchen counter reminding me to “Stay Cool”!

Here is what I used:

Beach Fun Owls (4.6” H by 3.9” W)

Jaded Blossom: Alphabet Die, Winter Die

Thank you for stopping by.  Make each day creatively crafty and stay tuned for more craftiness!
