WOW!!! 8 years?

I can't believe I have been blogging for 8 years.  Happy Blog-iversary to me.  

It has been a pleasure and a pain. lol

As I reflect back over the years and remember all the fun I had making cards and pages and I was so excited to share them with you.  I have been quite busy since my flood last year and I still don't have my scrap area fixed up the way I want it or even really usable yet.  Thank goodness for that giant island we put in. We use it for everything.  

I just want to say THANK YOU!!! To all of you who have kept coming back to check in and see what I have been up to.  I am sorry if I have disappointed you at times with no cards or pages. I hope you will stay with me as I really do plan on getting back to making cards and layouts.   

Happy Scrappin',

Janice

Miss You- Cardmaking kit Dress-Up Part 2 | DT by Tarina Lafollette

Hello All!

This is the second part to my card Dress-up mini series.

For this example, I'm giving the Miss You, WYW, cardmaking kit a little bit of a wardrobe change! lol

For both of these cards, I decided to switch up the papers to a few other papers from the Little Dreamer paper pack and switched up the inks to suit the new papers. Just in case you didn't notice, I also swapped the sentiments!  I figured 'Why Not?' lol

For Card 1 (above) I still wanted to use the Shimmer trim, but I didn't want to cover up the unicorn's nose lol so I moved it up a bit and dove-tailed the end. I also had the urge to move the bling on both cards. Aaand, of course, I added a few bitty sparkles.

Card #1 Recipe

For Card 2 (below), I shortened the sentiment base piece and placed the banner below it instead of on it. I aso changed up the ink to a pink color called Pixie. I only had the color in pigment inks, but it worked great! 

I love how these cards both took on a different look with such easy changes. You could also apply some of the techniques I showed in my previous post, or even do some of your favorite techniques!

Keep an eye out for my next couple posts, I'm doing a little mini series showing some of the ways you can dress up these cards while still using the Miss You cutting guide.

Miss You- Cardmaking kit Dress-Up Part 1 | DT by Tarina Lafollette

Hello Everyone!

I've been playing around with the Miss You, Workshops Your Way, cardmaking kit lately, and I thought I'd share some of the ways I've found to dress-up the cards.

For this first set of cards I used a few techniques that I like to use in my everyday crafting. We've got edge distressing, heat embossing, paper piercing, and even a bit of stitching. I also managed to sneak in a few bitty sparkles. lol

Stay tuned for the next set in my Dress-up card mini series, coming next Friday!

Here's the recipe for both cards.

Crop 4 Vets!!!

Have I mentioned that in just over a month The VFW Post 1324 Auxiliary will be hosting a Crop 4 Vets?  February 11th, from 9 am till 9 pm.  104 S. Tumwater Dr., Oregon City, OR 97045

That's right, we will be hosting a Crop 4 Vets to raise money to help more veterans.  I am so excited because this is the first of 2 Crops for this new year. That's right, we had several Croppers who couldn't attend the last one and we were asked if we could host another one so more Croppers could attend.  I hope you can join us.  We have lots of prizes too.

If you need an application or more information, please call me 503-708-6889 or email me at jwilson@bctonline.com  Click here to go to our Crop 4 Vets Facebook Event Page

Happy Scrappin',
