grand-finale studio: Bring on the zippers!
http://grand-finale.blogspot.com/2012/09/bring-on-zippers.html
Friday, September 21, 2012. Bring on the zippers! It's the little things! Recently, I've been perusing patterns for purses to make for my nieces. But I got sidetracked because my youngest niece is a little too young for a purse so I decided to make her a pencil case. I found this great one. And since it's just a pencil case. why not give it a whirl? My fear is now conquered; yay me. And (bonus! All this for a simple pencil case! I actually like Rashida's much better (the fabrics she used are so cute!

Sunday, April 22, 2012. I'm finally diving into my Mocha Morning DSP (better late than never! I wanted to keep this one very simple and clean. I used some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (I'm really into using this lately) to accent the edges of the Early Espresso cardstock. I also layered it on the small strip of striped DSP on the bottom to give it some sparkle. Just a very simple, quick card. Everything is from SU! Very Vanilla, Early Espresso. Mocha Morning DSP;. Versamark, Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

Sunday, June 19, 2011. Club - March '11. Club in March. We had to skip May because of scheduling problems so I'll be back to post July's projects (I can't show them yet since some use new product we can't reveal 'til July 1st). The hostess in March requested a 2-page layout so that's what we did. I coordinated them enough that they could be used as a 2-pager but they can also be used as two 1-pagers (as I did). Both of these were based on layouts I saw in an SU! Everything is from SU! Scallop Trim Border;.

Please pardon the dust. oy! The 3 candles are new this year; they made me laugh so I had. To get them. They're a little hard to see but they're a frankenstein, a ghost, and a witch. A tip for anyone who may read this and start making a framed piece that you'll switch out. Everything is from SU! Now to get the rest...

Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Bridal Shower Place Cards and Favors and Other Various Craftiness. This is a really, really long post so you may want to grab a snack and beverage if you choose to continue. :0). My mind immediately went to SU's Tea Shoppe Stamp Set that I had just used on a card in this post. The setting for the shower was probably the most beautiful one I've ever been to. It was a gorgeous Spring day and everything pulled together perfectly. The "tea" was held inside with an adjacent out...To ti...

Sunday, February 06, 2011. My thoughts are free to go anywhere. This is just a quick post with the next in the Sister Card line-up. As I was trying to figure out what the post title would be I realized that the sentiment I used inside this latest card also applies to each and every one of you. My thoughts are free to go anywhere,. But it's surprising how often. They head in your direction. The design was inspired by. Papertrey Ink (Spring Moss) and Bazzill (white);.
