Britta's Birthday Hop :)

Happy Birthday Britta!

The girls from Young Crafters Unite along with Kelly Marie Alvarez decided to throw a surprise birthday blog hop in her honor!   Britta is so sweet, and makes really fun cards  :)  I tried to incorporated some fun elements on my card- "stitched" border, washi tape, chipboard letters, and wooden stars!

I can't wait to hop around and see what the other girls made!

Good morning!  Today the Clear and Simple Stamps design team is sharing what you can do with a simple card recipe:

• 1 button
• 2 die cuts
• 1 sentiment
• 1 image

Here's my creation:

I really love how this turned out!  The button was the only thing I was initially stumped on, but in the end I think it looks cute where it is on the cloud.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the gals:

Happy Cyber Monday!

I actually don't think I have ever done online shopping on Cyber Monday...how about you? Are the deals good?

Today, in honor of Cyber Monday, Clear and Simple Stamps has put together a great step-by-step tutorial using QR technology!  In addition, I made a project using one of the codes from CSS.  In the last photo, you can scan the code yourself to hear a special message!  If you have a smartphone or tablet you can download a QR scanner for free :)

At first, it looks like a regular ol' gift box.  But if you look on the handle....

There's a QR code!

Scan above to hear the special message, and head over to Clear and Simple Stamps to learn how to create your very own Voice Memo Gift Tag!

I hope that those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a delightful one!  Today there is a new challenge at Young Crafters Unite, and this month we are celebrating the holidays.  I made a simple and clean card loosely based off of Kristina's Day 10 card. (I'm falling behind! She's already at Day 17!).   The elements from her card that I was drawn to include the snowflake background, use of twine, and white sentiment.

The rest of the DT has some great cards too...

Hi again! Today the Clear and Simple Stamps design team members are posting Thank You cards in honor of Thanksgiving.

I recently gave the card below to my building principal- she made the most amazing fall-themed brunch for all of the teachers!  She always does really sweet things like that...I hope she never retires!

Oh gosh- I just love those leaves.  They keep finding their way onto so many of my cards!  They are my new favorite go-to set.

I can't wait to see what everyone else made!
