Well... HELLO!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I did a blog post!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was away in Japan for awhile - enjoying some family vacation time.<br />
It was amazing, and love everything about Japan.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was there - I had the opportunity to stock up on some new crafty supplies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well... I'm excited to share one of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is <b>Leather Crafting!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never been a big fan of leather crafting...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is because all I see here is to make some western belts and wallets,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and not-so-my-type leather stamping...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then, I fell in love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw the CUTEST crafts ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I had to make them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went all out and purchased all these new tools.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/leather2_zpsc7ac3650.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo leather2_zpsc7ac3650.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/leather2_zpsc7ac3650.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never in my life - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would just go and get all these tools that made no sense to me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, and I found the cutest wooden holder that I keep my tools!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/leather3_zps1cca6ba3.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo leather3_zps1cca6ba3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/leather3_zps1cca6ba3.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and before I even knew how to make anything - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to go get some leather scraps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These nice ones are actually really hard to come by here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I checked Michaels, and I'm just so glad that I stocked up as much as I did while I was in Japan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/leather_zpsf12a035f.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo leather_zpsf12a035f.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/leather_zpsf12a035f.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I had absolutely NO IDEA how to go about and what to buy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I researched, watched YouTube videos, and read books...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and ta-da!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created some things that I feel fairly confident now -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I thought that I'd share what I've been working on.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/leather8_zpse0803d2b.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo leather8_zpse0803d2b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/leather8_zpse0803d2b.jpg" height="538" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it the cutest?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are all about an inch in dimension,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it makes the perfect keychain, and pendants!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/leather7_zps57612600.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo leather7_zps57612600.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/leather7_zps57612600.jpg" height="538" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You wouldn't believe HOW MUCH more things I had to buy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after I got the tools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leather sewing thread, tiny eyelets, grommets, brads, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
buckles and charms,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as well as leather lace and cords.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, what do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I miss paper crafting (and I still plan to do them) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it's also really fun to learn new things!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(The best thing about this is that the completed projects don't really take up any space!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish that our cutting machine would cut leather...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I've read somewhere it can cut thin ones)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if it can do that - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if Mary from SVG Cuts can design leather cutting files - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that would be a dream come true for me :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Hello all!!!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to be sharing my recent SVG Cuts project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's probably one of my favorite projects that I've done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">It's a CUCKOO clock!!! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3237_zps15a78131.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3237_zps15a78131.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3237_zps15a78131.jpg" height="640" width="636" /></a>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been meaning to do one of these for the longest time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but none of the files worked as the clock base until <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=377">THIS</a> one came out recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've tried simply doing it on a Spring Birdhouse, or even some of the Gingerbread Houses...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
however, everything was a bit too small to make it work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, when this <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=377">advent calendar</a> one came out - I just knew that this was the one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept some of the openings from the calendar but simply removed the doors,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
moved some of the compartments and deleted others -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=348">clock base</a> fit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the roof, the base and the pendulum, I used my to-go cut file - <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=279">CRATES</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3229_zps5d2bf6db.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3229_zps5d2bf6db.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3229_zps5d2bf6db.jpg" height="473" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the top compartment - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put in my Cuckoo Love Bird... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and attached it onto the house with a wire spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the little love letter he's fetching in his mouth!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3225_zps96614d07.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3225_zps96614d07.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3225_zps96614d07.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this project - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I totally researched on what makes beautiful cuckoo clocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I studied their accents, their balance, and their colors...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the middle of this clock -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really wanted to do one of those animals that rotate around the clock - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
goes in one end, comes out the other!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, that would be nearly impossible to make and to explain how I did it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to simply add in a bunny into each of the compartments,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
carrying a big heart for each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3241_zpsed87e4d8.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3241_zpsed87e4d8.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3241_zpsed87e4d8.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The side doors can open and you can even put a little treat in there if you're giving it as a gift!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3240_zps3cc52b6d.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3240_zps3cc52b6d.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3240_zps3cc52b6d.jpg" height="473" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The clock kit that I used here can be found at any of the crafting stores,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or even better - if you can plan it in advance - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amazon is super cheap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The arm colors were a bit 'off' from how I wanted - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(it was a shiny gold!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I simply spray painted them with a beige paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3235_zpsf60126ab.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3235_zpsf60126ab.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3235_zpsf60126ab.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I accented both the sides of the base by adding in some pretty roses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can totally change the theme of this clock with how you embellish it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a wintery one -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it would be so cute to have wintergreens on the side, with snowflakes as the weights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a springy look - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
add some garden flowers or even some fencing on the base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Autumn clocks would be so cute with woodland animals and fallen leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3230_zps4778317b.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3230_zps4778317b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3230_zps4778317b.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the weights - I adhered 5 of the hearts scored down in the middle vertically onto one another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was important to have the beads at the bottom as well to create some weight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you're wondering about how the back looks like, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if battery changing is possible - YES!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3242_zps61a74041.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3242_zps61a74041.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3242_zps61a74041.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's very clean at the back,</div>

<b>Now... onto my announcement.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>A bit of a surprise to many of you...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you see the title above... it says the 'FINAL' project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I'm stepping down from the SVG Cuts team.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those of you that saw my announcement last week,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm also stepping down from the Unity Stamp Company team.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why, you ask? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is Thienly okay? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did something happen to her?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything is fine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm healthy and I'm happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just wanted something different in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More time to explore other things that interests me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More time to enjoy with the family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just wanted the flexibility without having deadlines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life is too short - I want to make the best out of it, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
without any regrets knowing that I've tried/done everything that I wanted to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who knew that this little machine I bought from Michaels on the Black Friday sale</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would take me so far!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just bought it because it seemed like all the crafty ladies were doing it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had no idea about the amazing journey ahead of me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been with the SVG Cuts team for almost 4 years,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when they have been in business for 5 years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was their FIRST member of their design team... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember celebrating their 5,000th follower on FB - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and now, they are almost at 50,000!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the hardest decision to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leo and Mary are the sweetest people around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have treated me like I'm a part of their family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've seen them get engaged, get married, win an American Made Audience Award.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm honored to have designed with this company for long as I have - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
creating ... design team projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see all my projects <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/designers/thienlys-corner/">HERE</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The design team and SVG Cuts' friends are also very special to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've created some very special friendship with some of them, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and know that no matter what we all do - we'd be friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom tells me that this 'stepping down' event should go in my life history book!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what am I gonna do from now?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, most importantly, be there for my family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to volunteer more at school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to be there for kids after school without having to tell them - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to take project pics before the sun goes down!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to watch movies with my husband without telling him I have a post deadline tomorrow!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I still plan on doing some paper crafts and using stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, there are new crafty things that's captured my heart and I need to pursue it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Needle felting, and leather crafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint and wood-working.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to work with different mediums and extend my crafty knowledge to these areas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm super excited about leather crafting -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making miniature shoes and bags,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and eventually would be cool to design my own iphone case or something! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm leaving on a vacation for a couple of weeks to Japan in February.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I come home, I should be all refreshed and ready to try something new!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for your support and understanding :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will continue to post here when I can and share my new interests, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that you will continue to visit here now and then!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Much love,</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/Unitygaragesalerelease_zps61321708.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Unitygaragesalerelease_zps61321708.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/Unitygaragesalerelease_zps61321708.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a fun release, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have much time to play with the new release, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but did manage to make some!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a one for Valentine's Day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3265_zps23ded1a5.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3265_zps23ded1a5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3265_zps23ded1a5.jpg" height="545" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used stamps from various kits for this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The number tags that you see here stamped on canvas is the new one,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the sentiment is from the December KOM,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the white tiny hearts on the frame and the heart circle is from Handmade Valentine's Tag Kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3266_zps97384ed2.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3266_zps97384ed2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3266_zps97384ed2.jpg" height="545" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you know that the polaroid frame also comes from Unity?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yeppers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted this frame and inked it with white hearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also had a chance to work with the Vintage Passport,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and used the sentiment and the plane from the SMAK kit - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
using Carta Bella's Well Traveled collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3273_zpscf2cd5b0.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3273_zpscf2cd5b0.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3273_zpscf2cd5b0.jpg" height="545" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut off the cloud lines off of the plane stamp, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and made one with a black wire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3276_zps6d99a3d5.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3276_zps6d99a3d5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3276_zps6d99a3d5.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My next card is from the current SMAK:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3270_zps32d6187f.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3270_zps32d6187f.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3270_zps32d6187f.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Echo Park Happy Days papers were perfect for this card,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as well as some of my washi tape!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Route 66 and the sentiment is from SMAK)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3272_zps887c9a44.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3272_zps887c9a44.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3272_zps887c9a44.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and now my last card...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is another cute Valentine's card, made with the perfect<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=259"><b>DARTBOARD</b></a> </span>file!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3267_zps6fae92ce.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3267_zps6fae92ce.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3267_zps6fae92ce.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't take a pic of the front, but the card actually closes to look like a dartboard cabinet!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The darts and the stamps are from the December KOM,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I cut out another stamped image of the flight portion and bent it in half to made it 3D.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that you liked my cards today!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am stepping down from the Unity Design Team.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is going to be the last hop, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and will be making my last Stamp of the Week reminder post next Friday over at the Unity blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have throughly enjoyed my time here being on this team - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was one of the most amazing things that's happened to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE Angela and Chris...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the whole Unity team.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their soul is all beautiful and I'm honored to have had the chance to work with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe it was the BEST stamp company to design for!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, my time has come,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm feeling like I need to spread my wings in a different direction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are lots of different things (they are all still crafty!) that I want to try,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I want to make time to do them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also want more time with family and friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As Angela told me - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sometimes you need to make a hard decision in order to go where you want to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is so true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thank you for your support and love - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's very very sad, and I'm feeling a bit sentimental about this,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I'm also excited for the new change.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks again, and hope that we can all continue to be friends and follow each other's work :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
PS. I will still try to occasionally make some posts so I don't have any crickets chirping here :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Much Love,</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I've got a few projects to share with you today...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we shall begin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off is the <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.ca/">NEW {be inspired} CHALLENGE</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/Beinspiredchallenge_zpsc6de7405.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Beinspiredchallenge_zpsc6de7405.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/Beinspiredchallenge_zpsc6de7405.jpg" height="640" width="435" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(using the <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/bunches-love/">new sentiment kit!</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3209_zpsd8937f62.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3209_zpsd8937f62.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3209_zpsd8937f62.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you see here is a glimpse of the new sentiment kit that just got released today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of useful sentiments with a pretty flower border to go with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With my card - I only used the rose part of the border... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(just to be different. HA!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3211_zpse017374f.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3211_zpse017374f.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3211_zpse017374f.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stuck to the inspiration colours and the sketch - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you can use one or the other...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it can be any Unity stamps to enter this challenge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Challenge link <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.ca/">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Secondly - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's Angela's Birthday weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and we're celebrating it in style with all Unity at 50% off!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and there's also some fun itty bitty and Phyllis Harris releases!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had time to make a card with one stamp that caught my eye...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's a PICKLE stamp and had a BLAST colouring this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3212_zpsdb7a4c8d.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3212_zpsdb7a4c8d.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3212_zpsdb7a4c8d.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must say... this is probably one of my fave Copics colouring job I've ever done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love pickles by the way... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I eat them every chance I get.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Made me crave them just colouring this card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and no, I'm not pregnant!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up is a card that I made for <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/kit-of-the-month/">Kit of the Month</a> Monday...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and I'm sure some of you have seen it already, so I apologize!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the current circle woodgrain stamp -</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out another circle within it to place a little nest for a birdie.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So cute, isn't it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a great card to give to my mama! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, but not least, is a 3D craft made using the current <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/smak-kit/">SMAK</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a suitcase box.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to after seeing so many fun travel stamps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Scoot collection from Echo Park - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=356">THIS FILE</a> for the suitcase.</div>

I LOVE this <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=356">file</a> - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the handle is super cute and the box opens like a regular box,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it makes a perfect gift box!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(or keepsake box for all vacation photos)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b>Hello Unity Friends!</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a couple of projects from each month starting from January, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
showing you how much variety we have in in the Unity store!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With several artists drawing amazing designs - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the fun releases kept on coming!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>If you like a certain stamp - </b></div>

Today, I'm so excited to share what I've been tediously working on this month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've created a whole party set up all with SVG Cuts files!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to do everything...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from invitations, to banners, to garlands...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to napkin holders, crackers, coasters, cutlery holders -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
place cards and table lanterns and ornaments...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all the way to the party favors!</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Party Invitation: </span></b>Use the <st1:street w:st="on">Layered Square</st1:street> from <b><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=361">Bicycle Built for Two SVG Collection</a></b> to create a 5x5 card. So simple! The Shimmer twine was wrapped
around the vertical banner and tied into a bow before adhering. Attach a bell
with hot glue. The double frame was adhered using foam tape to add dimension. If
you wish to print your sentiment rather than handwriting or using stamps like I
have done, you just need to follow these simple steps. Make ‘templates’ similar
to the ‘Photo Templates’ Mary explains in various kits to create a frame
guiding you where to place the paper to get the perfect cut. Cut out a shape on
a piece of paper, lift off the inside cut out, and without moving the paper,
carefully insert the sentiment printed sheet underneath framing the
sentiment. Lift off the top paper and
cut. For the ‘Eat. Drink. Be Merry.’, I simply printed a black background on
white cardstock with white font and added some chalk smear for a chalkboard
effect.<br />

make the letters ‘pop’. Adhere a snowflake from <b><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=149">Santa’s North Pole Workshop SVG Collection</a></b> and top it off with a
bell in the center. Attach clothespin on each side of the pennant and use jute
twine and Shimmer twine to hold up the banner. (I found it helps to glue the
clothespin at the back to add sturdiness)</div>

Using a craft circle punch, make two holes opposite from each other on the
snowflake. String through the snowflakes with Shimmer twine and suspend them
between the walls. If you do not have a punch, you may add the circle cut outs
to be cut on your machine.<br />

assemble. Paint the tips with white paint, let it dry and finish off with a
glitter paint to add sparkle. Using a large clothespin, clip the bottom portion
of the pinecone so it stands up and tie the bottom with a Shimmer twine bow.
Make a slit at the top of the pinecone using a craft knife and insert your
personalized name banner, using a chalkboard cardstock, alphabet stamp and

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have a TUTORIAL to share with you today!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm pretty sure many of you have tried doing this already,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and for those that haven't tried it - it's because you're probably afraid of vinyl!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Well, at least for me, that was!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, all these pretty etched glasses that you see in stores -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">they get pretty expensive don't they?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, I'm pleased to inform you that they are pretty easy to make,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and really don't take as long as you think!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've made a set of 6 wine glasses all etched with SVG Cuts snowflakes...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and ta-da!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So festive, right?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are cheap Ikea glasses - ones that you can get them for $5.00 for six!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
... and after etching them, no one can guess it's from Ikea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Well, until they read this post, that is)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ready for the TUTORIAL?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, first of all -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here's a pic of the <u><b>MATERIALS</b></u>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Armour Etch cream (Martha Stewart one is fine as well!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Vinyl (any color will do as it will only be used as a stencil)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Transfer vinyl</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Cutting machine and a mat</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Scraper (credit card or thin plastic object will do)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Paint brush</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Craft knife</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">8. and of course, wine glasses! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Instructions:</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. On your cutting machine software, open various snowflakes
and resize them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You will need to make a ‘frame’ around each one to create a
stencil that can be used individually. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Using Basic Shapes Library, place a
circle around each of the snowflakes, making sure the snowflake is centered.
Group each snowflake with its frame. Make copies of these snowflakes on the mat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For my
six glasses, I used two of each snowflake, resulting in 12 snowflakes each.</span></div>
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Apply vinyl sheet on the mat. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Using the scraper, starting
from middle, slowly apply light pressure moving towards the end of the vinyl getting
any possible bubbles out. Cut. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used vinyl setting as the material being cut
on the Sizzix eclips (Speed 4, Pressure1) and set the blade depth to 2. However, it does vary from machine to machine, as well as the age of the blade can play a role, too. To be safe, start out with a lower blade depth setting, and do a litle test cut to make sure that it is cutting through only the vinyl, but not through the backing. <span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 11.111111640930176px; line-height: 13.993056297302246px;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Peel off the vinyl around the frame,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3054_zpsb18d0a43.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3054_zpsb18d0a43.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3054_zpsb18d0a43.jpg" height="297" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and using
craft knife, gently also peel off the inside snowflake Discard the
snowflake.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Apply a small sized transfer vinyl to cover the snowflake
frame. Using the same technique </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
used in step 3, release any bubbles between the vinyl and the
transfer vinyl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3056_zps83ea02c0.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3056_zps83ea02c0.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3056_zps83ea02c0.jpg" height="297" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Start from one edge and peel off the transfer
vinyl. The vinyl image should be attached onto the transfer vinyl. It may help to use a craft knife to lift up
the edges of the vinyl image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3057_zps75722ce3.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3057_zps75722ce3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3057_zps75722ce3.jpg" height="296" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Apply this directly onto a clean glass surface (you
may use alcohol or glass cleaning solution prior). Any dust or oil residue may
interfere with the etching quality. For wine glasses, it is inevitable to get a
bit of vinyl bunching as the glass surface is curved. Some people make a small
slit to allow the vinyl to sit flat. Whatever you may do, just make sure that
every snowflake edge of the vinyl is sealed to the glass in all areas.
Otherwise, the cream may leak out into the air pockets causing image blurriness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3058_zps4996f525.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3058_zps4996f525.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3058_zps4996f525.jpg" height="295" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Work on etching one half of the glass surface first
instead of doing the whole glass. This allows you to hold the glasses sideways
to prevent etching cream from leaking out of the image. Apply rest of the
snowflakes needed for the first half.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3049_zps215ef2dd.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3049_zps215ef2dd.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3049_zps215ef2dd.jpg" height="296" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Apply the etching cream. Stir the mixture well
before applying. Using a brush, apply a good amount onto the inside snowflake
making sure every part is covered.
Thicker coat gives a better result, but too much may cause the cream to
leak out of the stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3061_zps2f75f88e.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3061_zps2f75f88e.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3061_zps2f75f88e.jpg" height="297" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. Leave it on for at least 5 minutes. The longer you
can wait, the more defined your etching will be. You can scrape off any cream
with your brush to put back in the container as the etching cream is reusable. Rinse under water, making sure all the cream
is washed off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

10. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Peel off the vinyl and repeat the other half of the glass.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11. To add little dotted snowflake, take a fine brush and hand apply random dots around
the glass. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait another 5-10 minutes and wash off.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just imagine the possibilities with a cutting machine and SVG Cuts files!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can pretty much take anything and make an etched glass with it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A great gift idea, and you can even customize it, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Just a few things: </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Smaller sized designs will be easier to etch on any surface
that is curved, such as glasses, bowls and jars. The less area the stencil
needs to cover, the less likely chance you’ll see vinyl bunching. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Same concept as above, if the ‘frame’ is too thin, you would
need to be more careful in applying the etching cream as it may leak into the
‘outer’ area. However, if the frame is too thick, it will be harder to apply
the vinyl onto the glass as it is curved and more likely to ‘bunch’ up. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Take your time. Don’t rush trying to apply the vinyl onto
the glass as it creates air pockets and loose seal. Don’t rush applying the
etching cream, as it increases the chance of making a mistake. Allow enough
time for the cream to etch into your glass. By following these instructions,
you can create professional results.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Just like making a layout or a card, even a 3D object, the
design is very important. Think ahead and make sure that your images are
balanced and spaced out well on the glass.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That's it!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Easy Peasy!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope that I inspired you to try something new today! :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of fun friends and wine releases today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But before we get onto that -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've made a few fun cards with the new Sentiment Kit - also released today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.ca/">new{Be inspired} challenge</a> is also starting up today,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so make sure that you come and join us this month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here's the challenge inspiration photo and sketch:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/hop2_zps7a62a81e.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo hop2_zps7a62a81e.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/hop2_zps7a62a81e.jpg" width="435" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't you just love the new color scheme?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Probably my fave so far!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the rules for the challenge are - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
use the color combo and/or the sketch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's no other rules... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
except to use Unity stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Makes sense, and easy enough?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using that - I've made two quick cards today for the challenge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3075_zpsc75b7b54.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3075_zpsc75b7b54.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3075_zpsc75b7b54.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Made each of the hearts into balloons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply layered them, adhered foam on the foremost one, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
each with jute twine attached,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and tied them together with a red twine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3076_zps4299dec4.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3076_zps4299dec4.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3076_zps4299dec4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simple but cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up is a washi tape card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I love these colors so much, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was able to find enough to cover the whole lengthwise amount for the card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adhered them at random lengths one beside another,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then ran through the cutting machine to make heart cuts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3077_zps797f57f5.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3077_zps797f57f5.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3077_zps797f57f5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I backed the opening with a vellum and stamped the sentiment right on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last up is the only new <a href="http://unitystampco.com/product-category/new-wine-stamps-at-unity/">wine stamp release</a> that I had a chance to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one jumped at me and thought that it would be fun to make!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's get <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/lets-get-sip-faced/">SIP FACED</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this one, I stamped the wine image onto the white paper, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cut out inside bottle portion of each of the bottle,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and backed it with transparency and various colored cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3081_zps27920ee7.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3081_zps27920ee7.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3081_zps27920ee7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Hello all!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here today with a new Christmas project to share!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Totally excited for this one -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
never have seen this made with paper,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm happy with the way it turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just took two cylindrical containers -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
put a hole in the long one midway,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inserted a shorter one at the side...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and voila!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You've got a <b><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">log cake</span></b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's really that simple!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest is all fun stuff -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
decorating the cake!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across this shimmery woodgrain papers at Michaels,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and was perfect for it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also sprayed with an adhesive to add on extra white glitter for icing sugar.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2826_zpsc204e6cb.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2826_zpsc204e6cb.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2826_zpsc204e6cb.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some flower trim to mimic the whipping cream texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2823_zps1cbb70bc.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2823_zps1cbb70bc.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2823_zps1cbb70bc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This focal point of the cake was important that I do it right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went and researched what size, items are commonly used,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and tried to add various other embellishments to spice it up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2827_zpsa654e28a.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2827_zpsa654e28a.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2827_zpsa654e28a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, like I mentioned - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this cylinder is a container so it opens like a gift box!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can stuff some goodies in there,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you'll have a yummy gift within a yummy looking gift!</div>

Hello all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's December 4th and just put up my tree tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't usually delay it this long, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but realized a little while ago that our pre-lit lights doesn't work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was frustrating, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the kids were getting a bit worried if we were going to even have a tree...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but in the end - because of that -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we finally got a bigger and better tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shall be thankful that our other tree lights died!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the other note...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while I'm trimming the tree,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back and forth in the craft 'room' (more like a space)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
finishing up my Valentine projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep - we're thinking ahead for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've got some pretty amazing releases this week -</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
the first up is a set of Handmade Valentine gifts using the new kit!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soooo fun, isn't it?</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's super easy and makes your gifts look so good!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting a close up of each of the projects...</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=242"><b>TAKE OUT BOX</b></a>!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can even put in some fortune cookies or chocolates for your loved one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a couple of 'to' and 'from' stamps, so you can make your own tags!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3022_zps65c054aa.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3022_zps65c054aa.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3022_zps65c054aa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next up is a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=291"><b>CANDY BOX</b></a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I couldn't get those candy hearts at this time of year, so I filled it up with buttons. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would much rather receive buttons than candy! lol.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stripes are background stamps from the kit - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped it and cut it out!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3029_zpsb2bc967d.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3029_zpsb2bc967d.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3029_zpsb2bc967d.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we have a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=340"><b>PENCIL HOLDER VALENTINE</b></a> - great for school class gifts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did the same thing here to the background stamp.</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3025_zps02a9dbb3.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3025_zps02a9dbb3.jpg" border="0" height="421" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3025_zps02a9dbb3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though this is 'one' stamp - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can stamp it twice, cut the inside out and use a foam tape to give dimension.</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_3020_zps62846b4a.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_3020_zps62846b4a.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_3020_zps62846b4a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, but not least - is a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=158"><b>CARD</b></a> shaped like a STAMP!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here, I used all sorts of stamps - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
background, heart, arrow, and the sentiment.</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So many possibilities with this kit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
My next little project is a <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/coupon-4-hand-made-coupon-book/">COUPON BOOK</a>!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
With this purchase, you can get set of SVGs to match your stamps!<br />
(just write in the comment section when purchasing that you'd like the files sent!)</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, you can cut the shapes out with your fancy machine if you have one, and voila!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just stamp it right on - </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you've got yourself a coupon book that makes you look like it took hours to make!<br />
<b>(*the inside 'reward' stamps are add-on packs)</b></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've kept this pretty simple, but you can totally use this kit in many ways!</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think making a magnet chore board with these stamps is a super cute idea - </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
have to make that sometime!</div>

I made this book for the kiddos - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thus, I kept the stamps 'clean'. lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also make a one for your loved one,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that can get pretty 'fun' to make! </div>

Hello friends!</center>
<center>
I'm up on the Unity blog today for SMAK Saturday.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I'm usually a card and 3D paper crafts girl... </center>
<center>
but</center>
<center>
I try to always challenge myself to do layouts on these days. :)</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Today - </center>
<center>
I made a layout for my sister.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
She's 10 years younger than I am, </center>
<center>
and yet - </center>
<center>
she's accomplished so much in her life.</center>
<center>
...and I'm so proud of her.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
She's got goals.</center>
<center>
She's got aspirations.</center>
<center>
She's got dreams.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I think it's so beautiful - </center>
<center>
she has this energetic personality that I can't explain.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
She takes chances.</center>
<center>
Sometimes all too sudden.</center>
<center>
Some of which are life changing.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<center>
However, she knows what she wants.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
She surrounds herself with this postive force that allows her help her reach her ambitions.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
..and through all that -</center>
<center>
she seems to manage it all,</center>
<center>
and comes out ahead.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Stronger and more confident. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Anyway - here's my layout using <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/beautiful-smak-1113-non-member-purchase/">last month' SMAK</a>:</center>

We all have something to be thankful for.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hello friends!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited to share with you my latest SVG Cuts project today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you that have been following me for a long time -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you'll notice that this idea was shared in the past - way back in 2010.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However - I updated the project - new papers, and some files -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to have a bit more of a current look,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and better photos, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you that love Christmas trees -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you're gonna love this one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">It's a miniature Christmas tree!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2988_zps797993b2.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2988_zps797993b2.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2988_zps797993b2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So pretty, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a perfect size to set it by your bedside,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or your craft table,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or for those with small spaces that they don't have a place for a big tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even better - this is a perfect way to celebrate for those</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
having to spend Christmases away from home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=141">tree base</a> is made by cutting same six pieces, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
vertically folding it and gluing the sides together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2996_zpsc2907f56.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2996_zpsc2907f56.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2996_zpsc2907f56.jpg" width="639" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The star is made using the same techinique as my latest Wizard of Oz card (last post).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made two of these - for the front and back, so it actually looks like a 3D embellishment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A toothpick as inserted at the bottom to insert it into the tree!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep - it's totally like trimming a real tree!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2978_zps985863a0.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2978_zps985863a0.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2978_zps985863a0.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest is totally up to you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decorated with a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=139">garland and ribbons</a>, <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=141">lights</a>, trims...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and of course <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=278">ornaments</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I accented the lights with glossy accents to give a bit of shine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2977_zps22184146.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2977_zps22184146.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2977_zps22184146.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can adhere the items that wraps around onto each part of the tree where it joins,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I adhered the ornament directly on the tree by using foam tape to bring them out a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This below is the cutest part!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2984_zps26b4b853.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2984_zps26b4b853.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2984_zps26b4b853.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Adding presents at the bottom!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically, you can simply wrap little boxes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but to add a bit more fun,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used various SVG Cuts bags and boxes files.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I added some twine and ribbons to dress it up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tree skirt is a simple doily, but it adds, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that you liked the project today - </div>

Hello all!<br />
<br />
For this post -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the year almost comes to an end -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look back.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm reflecting...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all the things that have happened in the past year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good things, not so good things...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but all meant to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and want to share these two quotes with you.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I thought something that would allow me to 'reflect' back on the year would be appropriate...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
... and I made a REFLECTION CALENDAR.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a little canvas/burlap wall hang with 12 'memories' representing each month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took some time to write down all the things that happened in that month,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it helped me organize my thoughts -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
how did I handle that?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Could I have done it better?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did I appreciate the experiences that were given to me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What would I want to change in 2014?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

WONDERFUL. - Stamp of the Week<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Sunday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited to share the new stamp of the week with you today and what I did with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are new to Unity Stamp Company -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there's a membership that you can sign up and get a stamp and a sentiment sent to your door EVERY WEEK!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're interested - click <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/stamp-of-the-week/"><b>HERE</b></a> for more info!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So - ready to see the new stamp of the week?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/everything_zps2be7ecf7.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo everything_zps2be7ecf7.jpg" border="0" height="267" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/everything_zps2be7ecf7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this image!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's actually quite a bit you can do with this image!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can just stamp and color it -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or you can stamp, emboss and color the inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also stamp on already sprayed/textured/patterened paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you can fussy cut it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are really patient -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can even cut this flower in several layer to achieve dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last is what I exactly did - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and inked the sides and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also curled up the petals to make it a bit more realistic, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2969_zps7bae8143.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2969_zps7bae8143.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2969_zps7bae8143.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I made three of these flowers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think putting them on the white background kept it clean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It did need something at the bottom though -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I added some moss green jute twine as a stem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2970_zpsed4ff7e3.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2970_zpsed4ff7e3.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2970_zpsed4ff7e3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added some little beads to the inside of these flowers, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just to give it some texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's it!<br />Hope that you liked my card today, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if you're interested - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you should go check out the <a href="http://theunitystampco.blogspot.ca/">Unity blog</a>, too!<br />It's so fun to see more inspirationi from other design team members</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Hello again!</b><br />
<b>(if you're looking for the UNITY HOP - click <a href="http://goo.gl/mJKB5p">HERE</a>)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back showing you ANOTHER project made with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alyssa Lea Designs <a href="http://www.sweetstampshop.com/yummy-love/">YUMMY LOVE</a> stamps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that got released yesterday over at Sweet Stamp Shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today - I'm sharing some CAUUTE straw toppers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wouldn't your kids love them if you served some smoothie with these?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are going to think they've got the coolest mom EVER!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2894_zpse2cf41b8.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2894_zpse2cf41b8.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2894_zpse2cf41b8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So fun to have them in different colors, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I managed to find some matching twine, buttons, and straws for each of the fruits!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Lifestyle Crafts Straw Topper Die to create these -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it was easy peasy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got those 'cuttable' thin cork sheets and they are awesome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thought that it would be a neat twist to have a brick paper as a <b><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=260">CAMEO</a> </b>background.</div>

I added a couple of little Maya Road flowers to give it dimension and focus.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly but not least...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a card to go with the new <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.ca/">{be inspired} challenge</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/unity5_zpsa52d457d.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo unity5_zpsa52d457d.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/unity5_zpsa52d457d.jpg" width="435" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be inspired by these color palettes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be inspired by these sketches!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can be either or both!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only rule is to use Unity stamps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So... here's my take on the challenge - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
both using the colors and the sketch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2953_zps2caeca9e.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2953_zps2caeca9e.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2953_zps2caeca9e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this adorable <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=250">SUPER BEAR</a> - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the lovely inspiration colors!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Stars of Worn as a background, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and embossed in Pewter to add in that color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2958_zpsdeb8b1d9.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2958_zpsdeb8b1d9.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2958_zpsdeb8b1d9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see I used some foam adhesive to bring out the pieces </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it looks super cool in person!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So... one other BIG RELEASE is the SNOW PEEPS... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I unfortunately didn't have time to make them!</div>

<br />
You remember the first stamp design team that I used to be on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Thoughts Exactly?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep - it's that amazing genius company that made those 'mix and match semtiment' stamps...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the designer is back at it again,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
creating some CAUUUTE stamps for the <a href="http://sweetstampshop.com/">Sweet Stamp Shop</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her name is Alyssa (<a href="http://alyssaleadesigns.com/">Alyssa Lea Designs blog</a>) and she actually is on the Unity Design team with me, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway - I'm super excited to be asked to be one of her guest designers to feature her very first stamp set release as an illustrator/designer for the Sweet Stamp Shop!</div>

Hello Sunday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love this day of the week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everything just seems so calm, and laid back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well... at least that's what I hope Sundays are to be. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since us Canadians are done with Thanksgiving,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are excited for upcoming Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, I refuse to pull out all my decorations until December 1st,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but we talk about it a lot :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to surprise the kids with a fun little <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=327">ADVENT CALENDAR</a> this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was super easy as I'm using to breaking things apart, welding, and altering and such...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this - it was just cut it out, and decorate it some fun stickers!</div>

I used the Echo Park's Holly Jolly Christmas and was perfect cuteness for this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I matched the colors of the patterns from this collection to choose the colors of the trees.</div>

Each of the compartments are big enough to fit in several candies or even little toys.</div>

<b>Hello All!!!</b><br />
<br />
Some of you may have already seen this project as it is from last year.<br />
However, this post is a bit different -<br />
for those of you that want to make this -<br />
I've made it super duper easy by adding a step by step tutorial of making the stones :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought that it would be so cool to create a Fireplace gift bag using SVG Cuts files!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=153">one</a> from the store (and it is a bag!), </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I thought that it would be so cool to actually have a <b>3D effect</b> to it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by making the burner part indent a bit into the bag!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's one of those ideas that was lingering around in my head for the longest time, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and finally decided to make it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So, wanna see?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really excited to share this one! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(like any of my other projects! HA!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_0038_zps1ef29fd9.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_0038_zps1ef29fd9.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_0038_zps1ef29fd9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So so cool, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those 'stones' are actually separate pieces! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut them out and inked them all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Craziness, you may say, but it wasn't so bad! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll share a technique that I did below! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and yep - those stones are actually from SVG Cuts files... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you may wonder where??? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=183">Moonlight Garden Party SVG Collection</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HOWEVER - you will need to do something 'special' with it, for you to cut like that! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(refer to the instructions below!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, hope that you're not giving up here... it's really not that bad! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OR, you can simply use a brick or stone patterned paper, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and OMIT this whole 'stone-work' step!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just LOVE this sentiment stamp - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of course, this stamp coming from my favorite stamps company - Unity!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
With these stockings, I cut two of them out and stitched it together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just the right size to stick in mini candy canes :)<br />
<br />
The main part of my project was made using just the AC plain colored cardstock,<br />
but used Echo Park This and That Christmas to accent my project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and here's the fireplace!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I inked a bit on the inside with grey to add to the 'worn' look of the fireplace. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The logs are actual twigs all held together by hot glue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just adds to the 'coziness' by using some natural elements.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the collections needed to make this:</div>

<br />
<br />
3. By right clicking on the column_top.svg, 'release compound path'<br />
and delete the unnecessary shapes. Regroup.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlJnAPB5DXzA-V4OCKPD5s4l1OULm1-H5CHoyYvitY8q8GFktK68JG8UevPD9WRzFed2eW1iTHgC3cHDC_e8OcHyXBNweTRep7BHwTwOKcutnhypfJT71Y-psUlexLoQn9dNgSvq_NSQyT/s1600/diagram4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlJnAPB5DXzA-V4OCKPD5s4l1OULm1-H5CHoyYvitY8q8GFktK68JG8UevPD9WRzFed2eW1iTHgC3cHDC_e8OcHyXBNweTRep7BHwTwOKcutnhypfJT71Y-psUlexLoQn9dNgSvq_NSQyT/s200/diagram4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. Place column_top.svg and top of column_bottom.svg<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/stone2_zpsed182fa3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo stone2_zpsed182fa3.jpg" border="0" height="200" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/stone2_zpsed182fa3.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
5. Choose 'modify' category and 'subract'<br />
<br />
This is a bit different from eclips as the middle stone disappears.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnu6x5LiyGdv66CnCkrG1ULMYJwQUU5XxRYYkTvMHyKNX9F-odczM7DMiJodrXbELGm0-kBcOzy6xaTZ130gRKNNQIuqbE51XtLP67B7JghLdJrTABN1AGU78vubcYJMsszJfPHAGv7Dqe/s1600/diagram6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnu6x5LiyGdv66CnCkrG1ULMYJwQUU5XxRYYkTvMHyKNX9F-odczM7DMiJodrXbELGm0-kBcOzy6xaTZ130gRKNNQIuqbE51XtLP67B7JghLdJrTABN1AGU78vubcYJMsszJfPHAGv7Dqe/s200/diagram6.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In order to get the middle stone, do the same as above, but at step 5, instead of choosing 'subract', choose 'intersect'<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/stone1_zpsf802c7a5.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo stone1_zpsf802c7a5.jpg" border="0" height="200" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/stone1_zpsf802c7a5.jpg" width="200" /></a>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6.For the inking the stones, I found it useful to 'ink' them before taking them off the mat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="http://s1230.beta.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie1/media/stone2_zps906a3621.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="320" src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/modpaperie1/stone2_zps906a3621.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
(While the paper is covering the 'rest' of the mat,<br />
I inked it with brown, black, grey and distressed ink to get the look I wanted :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="http://s1230.beta.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie1/media/stone1_zpsb3aaf2f7.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="320" src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/modpaperie1/stone1_zpsb3aaf2f7.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />

I've got several projects to share with you today, but sorry to disppoint you...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nothing is Halloween related! lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving on... my head is all jingling with all holiday related stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are TONS of <b>NEW RELEASES</b> today, so make sure that you check them all out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let's welcome our latest <b><a href="http://unitystampco.com/product-category/only-at-unity-our-exclusives-our-artists-our-designs/angiegirls-by-angie-blom/">ANGIEgirl</a></b> into the family -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>CHARLEE!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's super cute, isn't she?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just LOVE her leggings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want one like that!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2845_zps46da2440.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2845_zps46da2440.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2845_zps46da2440.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Jillibean Soup Winter Tortellini and Spinich Soup collection </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and was inspired to follow the color scheme for the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2847_zpsc599812c.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2847_zpsc599812c.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2847_zpsc599812c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added button and doilies to the side - which adds interest :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next one is also designed by Angie Blom (isn't she amazing?) - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it's the cutest lovable deer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know some of you have mentioned to not include the frame, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you can totally do that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put it inside a wooden scalloped square frame and gives it a bit different look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I used the same Jillibean collection as above)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2857_zpsb353530b.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2857_zpsb353530b.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2857_zpsb353530b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I personally think that this is my fave project out of my four today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love the classic-ness of the deer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put the deer over a vellum and created a little <b><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=334"><span style="font-size: large;">TABLE LANTERN</span></a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(changed the window to square)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(can you see the faint glow inside?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next project is using the current <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/kit-of-the-month/">Kit of the Month</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to combine as many stamps in the set to make a project and this is what I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a mail BOX!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2841_zps534a6f99.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2841_zps534a6f99.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2841_zps534a6f99.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this, I used six stamps from the kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's so fun to combine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I altered the<b><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=199">GIFT BOX</a></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and altered the dimensions for the rectangular box to create a little gift box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and simply added a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=229"><b><span style="font-size: large;">MAIL</span></b></a> cut out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2842_1_zps770ad638.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2842_1_zps770ad638.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2842_1_zps770ad638.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I decided to this, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was set on using the Echo Park This and That Christmas collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Has a bit of a vintag-y festive look :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, but not least - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here's a <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=308">TEABAG DISPENSER BOX</a> that I made using the current <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/stamp-of-the-week/">Stamp of the Week</a>!</div>

<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's such a pretty image - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it would make great gift tags by itself!</div>

As long as you use Unity stamps - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it doesn't have to be Christmas themed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Super adorable release from <b>Phyllis Harris</b>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So fun to use sentiments from <b><a href="http://unitystampco.com/product-category/brand-new-donna-downey-itty-bitty-stamps/">Donna Downey</a></b>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An all new holiday {be inspired} <b><a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/everything-christmas/">Sentiment kit</a></b>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the new <b><a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.ca/">{be inspired} Unity challenge</a></b> begins today!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oooh, I just love the new challenge colors! (and the inspiration pic!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just craving a nice warm cup of hot chocolate looking at it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can almost smell it right now!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/challenge_zps38fa7ad2.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo challenge_zps38fa7ad2.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/challenge_zps38fa7ad2.jpg" width="435" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I decided to make a card (surprise, surprise...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, layout would be more of a challenge for me)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took that same pretty ornmament in the sketch, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but decided to do something different with it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(the ornament is from the <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/kit-of-the-month/">current KOM</a> )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2768_zpscc5de9f2.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2768_zpscc5de9f2.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2768_zpscc5de9f2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a 3D honeycomb ornament.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, you're not gonna be able to send this, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but for those special recipients - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what a fun card to give!</div>

<b>For those of you that wants to know how to make it, </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>here's a quick how-to:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Cut out 10 of the stamped ornaments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Fold them all into half, into semi-circles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Glue the top and the bottom section of each of the inner fold, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making sure that where it's glued is exactly the same for all of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Once dry, adhere each of the semi-circles together by making a strip horizontally in the middle,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
again making sure that the glued section is same for all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Allow to completely dry. Unfold the semi-circle to reveal a pretty honeycomb ornament!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used washi/glitter tape to tie in the challenge colors :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next project up is the new <b>Phyllis Harris stamp -</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/reach-stars/">REACH FOR THE STARS</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oooh, how I enjoyed making this one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2783_zps72087450.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2783_zps72087450.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2783_zps72087450.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always wanted to make this <b><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=336">FRAME</a></b> from SVG Cuts, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and when I realized that this image was the perfect size for it -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BINGO!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The yellow dotted paper is from Crate Paper Bo-Peep collection</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and based my colors on that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sky was a bit brighter than what I wanted to be - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but think it added a bit to the 'dreamy' part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some dress wrinkles and shadows to bring out the image,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and of course, some rhinestones did more magic :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lastly, but not least - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is the new <b><a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/everything-christmas/">Sentiment kit</a></b>!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That means that you can use the frames from that kit for the new sentiments!</div>

I created some simple but elegant Christmas party crackers.</div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Hello!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a CUUUTE project to share with y'all today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited, because it's something that I've always to do when this <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=365">FILE</a> came out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(since I've done so many Halloween projects - I felt like moving onto some Christmas!)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, with this file -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've wanted to add on a door that actually opens and a drawer that you can actually pull out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and that's exactly what I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2767_zps45207aad.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2767_zps45207aad.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2767_zps45207aad.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Super cute, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this into a Christmas themed oven -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
using <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/very-merry-christmas/">Echo Park Very Merry Christmas</a> collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With this oven, there's a place to add some of your baking (few pieces!),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as well as a place to send a gift card :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2761_zps9461005b.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2761_zps9461005b.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2761_zps9461005b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made coils out of my wires and made that for the range.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mini bottle cap is used for the dial for the top,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the little gears were used for the dials at the sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An oven is incomplete without <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=98">oven mitts and pot holders</a>,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I hung them up using the 7 Gypsies loops and hooks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2760-1_zpsb746490f.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2760-1_zpsb746490f.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2760-1_zpsb746490f.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the oven door is closed - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it looks like this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a mini wooden dowel as the handle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and clear acetate for the window.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2765_zpsec193dd3.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2765_zpsec193dd3.jpg" border="0" height="545" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2765_zpsec193dd3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Opening up the oven door - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can pull out a little <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=150">cookie pan</a> box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looks like the cookies are nicely baked with a bit of browning :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2763_zpse9fb33dd.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2763_zpse9fb33dd.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2763_zpse9fb33dd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and when you pull out the drawer at the bottom,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there's plenty of space to fill it up wih a gift card,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
more goodies, etc!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So you wanna know how to make?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took down some measurements, so you can make your own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>First of all - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Directions:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>1. Open up the oven box from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=365">here</a>, using the default size (11.4"w for the box_bottom.svg).</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Instead of cutting out the front decorative elements (cabinet, oven door, and the drawer)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>you will need to include these features in this main box_bottom.svg.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>2. Break apart all the parts into separate elements, </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>which makes it easier for you to use different papers as well.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>3. For the box_bottom1.svg - once you have separated the elements,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>elongate the height of the oven to 6"h. (It should be 9.043"w)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>4. Add on a rectangle at the bottom for the drawer opening - </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>3.014"w x 1.095"h.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>5. Open up the face.svg from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=227">here</a> (Advent Calendar), resize to 12.550"w and break apart.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Group together only the door 25 flap with the score lines, and delete the rest.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Add this onto the oven front.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>6. Resize the oven door file to 3.05"w by 2.338"h.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Place this exactly where you put the door flap from 5.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Make a copy and put that oven door to the side,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>break apart the oven door on the flap, and delete the frame, leaving only the window.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>It should look like this:</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>7. You will also need to cut the inner supports for the oven door and the drawer.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Open the interior_boxes.svg from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=227">here</a> (Advent Calendar)and resize to 12.550"w for door 25.</i></div>

<i>Open the interior_boxes.svg and resize to 10.05"w for door 20.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Regroup only those elements, delete the rest.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Put both in a horizontal position and resize both of them HEIGHT only to 6.43"h.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>For box 25: 11.305"w by 6.43"h final measurement.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>For box 20: 8.544"w by 6.43"h.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>You may delete the numbers and change the cut lines to 'score' lines on eclips.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>It should look like this:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Cut this out, but before you use this, you will need to trim off quite a bit (MOST) of the flaps to fit.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Adhere into the oven box, and cut out the rest of the oven parts and assemble.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Resize bottom.svg, bottom_liner.svg, bottom.svg and bottom_sides all to 4.6"w.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>6. The cookie tray box is from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=333">here</a>.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>8. I added some 'trim' by using basic circles to make a frame around the dials.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello once again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to share my last project that I made for the SVG Cuts Halloween Party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's ONE MORE project(s) to be shared tomorrow from an amazing designer -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so keep your eyes peeled!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, with the Jack O'Lantern-in-a-Box, Spooky Cuties Block Puzzle, and with this...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I literally felt like I was working in a Santa's Toy Workshop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except it was all Halloween toys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2724_zps2874f1b6.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2724_zps2874f1b6.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2724_zps2874f1b6.jpg" width="529" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one today is the BIGGEST project that I've ever created.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is the BIGGEST one that anyone has probably ever created!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to break up the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=363">Jack O'Lantern file</a> onto 3 12x12 mats and adhere them together.<br />
You can kinda see how I did it here!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/CandyToss_zps4b1fc4b2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo CandyToss_zps4b1fc4b2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/CandyToss_zps4b1fc4b2.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This originally was a card file, and then I blew this up numerous times...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I had to break up the parts to change it for a larger mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Larger mouth to accommodate candies! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2731_zps19d9537d.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2731_zps19d9537d.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2731_zps19d9537d.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those teeth that you see are all made out of canvas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's right- </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
these teeth are fully bendable and flimsy so it can allow all the candies in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yet - it's stiff enough to hold it in that position.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some fun things onto this board - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
such as the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=325">bat</a> on a wire,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a freakin' pumpking looking at the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3489&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=325">spider</a> hanging down,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and all the game points indicated on a rosette.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2733_zps02f6380a.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2733_zps02f6380a.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2733_zps02f6380a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rosettes are so fun to make, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and super easy - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yet it adds SO MUCH to a project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2736_zps61e844dc.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2736_zps61e844dc.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2736_zps61e844dc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the vintage look of these papers -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's exactly the 'style' that I imagined these pumpkins to be!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Echo Park Apothecary Emporium collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/modpaperie/media/DSC_2729_zps5d7ba5b9.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_2729_zps5d7ba5b9.jpg" border="0" height="475" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/modpaperie/DSC_2729_zps5d7ba5b9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to create a 'sign' for the game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was important for me to pick the right carnival font - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just didn't want to go with a blah arial or courier :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I went with Pointedly Mad font. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, when I showed this game to the kids - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they were SO excited!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got them to dress up in their Halloween costume for my little photo shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
