Nautical Expedition Decor

For the summer, I was inspired by the Summer Mini's nautical theme for home decor. I decided to use it in the bathroom.

I punched out images from the DSP, mounted them on white card stock, and framed them for this shelf.



And I used a large portion of one of the DSP sheets to frame in 8x10. Now that's some easy art! Jeff really liked this.


Today it's feeling more like Indian Summer, and it's kinda nice! :)

Have a great day!

Scrap Kit: August $9


I don't know about you, but in the month of August I like to think it's a time to "relax" from the all excitement of summer. Enjoying the bounty of the garden, taking one last vacation, finally using my passes to Knight's Action Park (or maybe that's just me)...but you get the idea.

So this is our August layout using Petal Paisleys DSP. I liked the "gardeny" feel of the designs. And the colors are so pretty, reminds me of late summer colors.

Each picture frame is die-cut with scalloped squares, and is tied up with linen thread and a large brad.


I used the Tasteful Trim border die to make the wavy scalloped border, in a pretty and colorful floral print. I love how the white background pops on the unusual 12x12 color, River Rock. It makes the sand color take on a light green tone. I love it!

And the journal box is dry embossed with the Framed Tulips Die. It's wrapped in Olive Seam Binding and accented with the Sweet Stems Embosslit in designer paper.


I think all these elements go great together and just say "happy end of summer".


The title RELAX is cut in the Simple Alphabet dies. I am imagining writing in cursive, next to the title, "and enjoy". "Relax and Enjoy"...the rest of your summer!


If you would like a kit, contact me by Monday, August 22nd. Each kit purchased receives a punch on my punch card. 12 punches in 12 months earns $12 in free SU product! :)

Happy Weekend!

Designer Paper Share!



I have such brilliant stampers! When I let you all know about the "Buy 3, Get One Free" sale on DSP this month, some of you asked for a PAPER SHARE. What a great idea for reducing our share cost!

So here's how we will do it. We will order all the DSP listed in the sale flyer, no specialty papers. Those papers include the DSP on pages 185-186 of the catalog and one DSP in the Summer Mini:

Nautical Expedition
Paisley Petals
Beau Château
Pocketful of Posies
Domestic Goddess
Just Add Cake
Frightful Sight
Timeless Portrait
Berry Blossoms
Beyond the Garden
Well Worn
Nursery Nest
Letters to Santa
Big Top Birthday

You will get a 6x6 sampling of all these papers. That's 14 different packs, 84 6x6 pieces.

Cost will be $17 per share, that's accounting for the B3G1 free sale. If you would like TWO shares cut in 12x6", I can do that for you as well. Shipping long distance is $3.

To start off, we will have 7 spots. Then If there are another 7, we can do a second share. Deadline to sign up is Friday, August 12, but we may fill up before then so contact me quickly if you are interested.

Each share purchased will qualify for a punch on your punch card. :)

Happy Weekend!

  • Designer Series Paper ordered in Hostess free does not qualify for the promotion.
  • Specialty Designer Series Paper, Hostess Designer Series Paper, and 2011 Holiday Mini Designer Series Paper are not part of this promotion and cannot be redeemed through this offer.
