Congrats to Kathi for LOTW with her patriotic tag. She made this for the RR challenge this month and it is a perfect tag to celebrate the Fourth. I love how she created the rays on her tag and that ribbon is perfect. Love little stars on the ribbon. Great combination of products, Kathi.

Congrats to Stephanie for LOTW.

The RR this month is actually a tag challenge. Look at this patriotic tag Stephanie created.


Great idea with the ribbon. And, that vintage ephemera is perfect.

It's Saturday!!!

Time for another tutorial.

I am always up for a new, unique way to make cards so here's a card tutorial for you.
This card has some folds and edge punching to make it different. And, the card stands on it's own.





Here's the video tutorial for you.

It's Sunday!

That means it's time to look through all the gorgeous work you have made and choose a layout of the week. Remember each layout of the week is in the running for layout of the month.

AND, each layout of the month is in the running for layout of the year!
Layout of the year is a special honor that comes with some special perks.

So, what are you waiting for?
Show us what you've got.

Congrats, to Hanne for this double pager. I can remember when that was the only way I scrapped. Now, I never think to do it. I want to try it again. How about you?

Great design that showcases all the wonderful pictures that Hanne is known to scrap. I live the banners and the flower clusters scattered around.


Great work, Hanne!

It's my turn to post a Swirlydoos Saturday Tutorial, and I decided to turn an empty wine bottle into a piece of decor, using the Finnabair method of layers on layers
This is a great way to use your embellishment odds and ends, as well as some of the mists that you've accumulated through the years.

Some closeups...
