Have you seen the new...

Authentique? If you haven't seen it or played with it in person yet, let me tell you - it is amazing! I love the textures, I love the colors, I love everything about it!

Here is a recent layout that I created with their Splendid collection.



I made this layout into a pocket page using their foundations paper. Here is a close up:


Their foundations paper is two sided, so that you can easily make pocket pages and other fun projects.


this line is so versatile that it works well for boy pages too.
Say Cheese layout


Adore layout



and because I love making cards, I used some of Authentiques other lines for these projects.

From the Blissful collection:

aren't the Authentique lines amazing? And did you know that Authentique is having their first ever DT call? You can read about it on their site or blog . I am trying out for their team because I love their lines so much! How about you?

Thanks for stopping by, and I have an altered Halloween project in the works, using Authentiques new Glowing line. I will be back on later to post photos and a fun step by step.

vintage cards

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are enjoying your summer. I have been enjoying some time off with the kids, and am very blessed to live close to some amazing crafty girls. My very talented friends Suzy West
, Marie Ramirez, Tricia Wilson, and Ashley Newell have been coming over once a week (sometimes more) to craft. We always enjoy our time together, and I am always amazed at the talents each one of these girls has.

Here are some recent cards that I made during one of our crop nights.

Enjoy the Journey card

a fun card that I made using Tim Holtz stamps and the round 14 button maker and round 20 button maker by Epiphany Crafts

Forever and Always card

A quick and easy card that I made using Echo Park's For the Record line and Epiphany Crafts round 14 shape studio tool, and vintage settings.

An Old Fashioned Hello card

Another Vintage card that I created using Crate paper, Glitz design, and Hero Arts stamps.

Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I will be posting new projects that I created using new lines and papers from Authentique.

CHA card

Hi Everyone, hope that you are having a great weekend. Mine has been mellow, so far (just the way I like it). I went out to lunch with my friend and neighbor Ashley today, then we stopped by a local scrapbook store to stock up on some supplies. We will be getting together soon to craft. I plan on spending the rest of the night with the family. We are going to go to a free summer movie event with friends tonight. We are going to bring pillows, and blankets and of course popcorn!

I wanted to share with you a recent card that I made for CHA Summer. I made this card for Epiphany Crafts and I am proud to say they displayed it in their booth. Did you go to CHA summer? If so, did you stop by their booth? Their booth is always so creative and cute!

I made this card using Epiphany Craft's heart shaped button studio tool, and 7 of their heart shaped acrylic buttons. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and the papers are from a recent Scarlet Lime kit that I received.



Thanks for looking, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Back from a busy weekend with Epiphany Crafts!

I had so much fun this past weekend working the Epiphany Crafts booth at the 2 day expo in Pleasanton. We had so many lovely customers that stopped by that just loved our tools!



We offered free make and takes at our booth, so that customers could try the tool hands on. Our booth was totally rockin'
with lots of fun. Thank you everyone that stopped by!



and now for some exciting news....

Epiphany Crafts was on HSN this morning for the National Craft month special. They sold out of the shape studio tool in 5 minutes. Wow!
