It's A Pooh Bear Post

Seriously loved Winnie-the-Pooh tv specials when I was a kid...totally loved them. Now they are "movies" and we have them on DVD and my kids watched them too. I never saw the classic Pooh illustrations until I had kids and I love those too. When I found the die cut pack of them at Jo Ann's, I bought them. For no real reason or plan, but they make me happy. I made a tag with them for a Papercrafts Magazine submission call and although it didn't get picked for publication, I did get two things picked up for February's issue, so I can't complain.

Here it is, using a Prima tag, Lawn Fawn papers from a win from Heather Ruwe (thanks, Heather!), and a little cellophane bag and filler. 

The ribbon is glittery eyelash yarn and I have no idea where I got it, but Martha Stewart makes some. With her own two hands, probably, she might even card the yarn herself from the sheep she keeps. That woman makes her own marshmallows for cocoa...or her assistants do...but someone does and that is kinda weirdly impressive. I shall continue to purchase my marshmallows and yarn already made, however.

The word stickers are Tiny Text by Cosmo Cricket, also from Jo Ann Fabrics, and they are awesome as well.

Hope you have a great weekend and get a chance to enjoy Monday off if you're from the states. Yay for Labor Day!

It's A Blustery Day Here

If you're a Winnie-the-Pooh fan, you know that means it's windy and rainy and basically the kind of day you want to spend indoors...doing crafts...all day. Hmmmm. Sounds good to me! 

Here's a card I made with my new Triangle Background die from Hero Arts and a2z Scrapbooking Supplies. I have tons of different papers that I cut out the other day, so expect to see a lot of cards with this die. It's easy and fun to use and I love how it looks.

 

Tigger and Piglet are stickers that are appliques that someone gave me. You can sew them onto clothes, but they aren't terribly thick so I thought they'd work for a birthday card. I used Bazzill Swiss Dotted cardstock for the background piece and just a bright blue for the die cut piece. 

Oh, and Pretty Little Studio is having a one-day (today!) sale on printed vellum. Each sheet is just 50¢ on sale. I previously bought the stars and woodgrain in aqua—love! I'm buying more today.

Marie Capistran over at the blog made a layout with the rainbow vellum here. Lovely, isn't it? The flair and butterflies, as well as the labels are PLS too. I don't work for them, just like them.

Have a great Wednesday!
