Tutorial Time - Diagonal Double Pocket Card

Man, Oh, Man! It has taken me forever to get this video uploaded to a host. For some reason YouTube would not take it last night or today. I kept getting a message that it was too big; however, it is only a little over five minutes. In fact, it is the shortest video I have ever created. YouTube has a rule that your video has to be under ten minutes, so I don't understand. After many, many, many attempts and research, I decided to try a new host.

I know some of you can't view my videos on Veoh, so I looked around and found MySpaceTV on Dawn's blog. You remember DAWN! I am always talking about her rockin' blog. Well, I signed up on my space and uploaded my video there. SO....let me know if you can't see this one. I am hoping everyone can, because YouTube doesn't like this one.

I made this card over the weekend and the instructions came out on the Weekly Inkling from SlitCoastStampers. Now, I used their instructions, but I thought it was funny that I made the card and then it was the feature written tutorial in their newsletter this week. What a coincidence?

This card is so much easier than it looks finished. You will be surprised at how quickly you can make these. Of course, they are fun too!

SMILE with pics

Hello! I decided to show you the SMILE layout with pictures. I think layouts always look better with personality. Besides the pictures, I added ribbon to the second page photo hanger.

Serendipity cards

In January, CTMH is having a spectacular promotion offering a paper pack, three sheets of punch out art and a stamp set for just $10 when you spend $60. Just think of everything you get for $10. I went over to Chris' house today to stamp and she had the cutest projects for me to work. Oh, she is my upline in my CTMH world. Here is a sneak peak of a couple of cards we made with the new Serendipity products:

The only stamp set used on this card that is not included in the Serendipity promotion is the Thanks for Everything sentiment. The background on this card was made completely with some of the stamps on this "D" sized stamp set (value $22.95). The flower is made from the cut-outs. There are three sheets of cut-outs...dutch blue, chocolate and bamboo. The glassy look in the middle of the flower are the circle window charms that are new this year.


I love the pattern paper in this pack. I know, I know...I love a lot of stamping supplies. Well, if you know me well, you know my favorite color combo is blue, brown and orange. Well, here are two of the three. Yipee! The scalloped stamp is great, because there are time when I will punch out the holes in the scallops. I think that will look awesome!


Tomorrow, I have a two-page layout we created with Serendipity. It looks so gooood! Tune in tomorrow!

Happy Stamping!
