You've been Booed! WRMK Bewtiched...

It’s that time of year again when all the ghosts and gobblins come out to play. It’s that time when your friendly neighborhood Boo comes to visit. You know when he has been by…your doorbell rings and there is nobody there except a friendly little package for you to enjoy and then pass along. I decided to get a little creative with the fun I was going to pass along…just a few simple steps and I had myself a cute little door hanger filled with some goodies
First I started out with a 12×12 piece of chipboard and cut it to 12×5. I used my WRMK circle cutter to cut a hole in the upper center, then I traced onto a piece of WRMK textured cardstock the chipboard hanger. I inked up the edges and attached it to my chipboard. I used a patterned paper from the WRMK Bewitched line and cut it slightly smaller than the cardstock and attached it
  For the box I took a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of cardstock and used the Doily 2 Edge Punch and punched a border on the top and bottom of the cardstock. I scored along the long side at 1 inch on both sides. Then I scored from the short side at 3 1/2 and at 5 inches. Cut along the 3 1/2 and 5 inch score marks up to the 1 inch score. Do this on both sides as this will make the bottom and sides of your box. Fold all your scores in and adhere with some double sided tape. For the back of the box I took a 6 1/4 x 3 1/2 inch piece of patterned paper and matted it with black cardstock and attached the box to it. I decorated the box and printed a removable tag explaining the gift and stuck it inside the box along with some goodies.
For my rosette flower I used (2) 1 1/2×12 inch strips of patterned paper and scored them at every half inch. Attached the two together with some double sided tape and then attached both ends together making a circle. You will need to push down to flair your rosette out and attach to a piece of chipboard with a very heavy duty glue. You can decorate your hanger however you like but just remember to have fun!

We R Memory Keepers CHA...

If you are a crafter then you know it is that time of the year again...CHA! All week long we have seen the latest and greatest of what will come. I thought since everyone is packing up and headed back home I would share with you a few of my MUST haves from We R Memory Keepers.
My first must have is this paper trimmer and scorer...

Trim and score projects with the convenience of one tool. Cut precisely using titanium blades on the easy-to-use 12×12” fold out surface, or create score lines for any crafting project. With measurements in both inches and centimeters, it’s perfect for creating boxes, cards, and envelopes. The Trim & Score Board and Trim & Score Refill Blades begin shipping this October.

Next, I have my own room dedicated to my craft, but when I have my sister come over she has to sit and scrap on the floor...no more once I get my hands on this... The craft table folds out to 23 ½” wide x 59” high x 34” deep.

Save even more space by folding the craft table up, and it becomes a decorative chalkboard that can be replaced with photos or artwork. The Fold Down Craft Table includes: chalkboard, chalk, eraser, multiple storage compartments, and required hanging hardware. Look for the Fold Down Craft Tables this fall.

Check out the PUNCH BOARDS! Punch Boards make it easy, not to mention cost-effective, to create party bags and boxes simply by punching and scoring using any paper. Create bags and boxes in a variety of sizes and use them for special occasions such as baby and wedding showers, birthdays, holidays, party favors, and more. Use the Punch Boards to create Gift Bags, Gift Boxes, Pillow Boxes, and Candy Boxes. Look for these new tools this fall.

How cool is this, you can now punch your photo or paper a perfect 3x4" without measuring...

For those of us who love easy clean-up... The Precision Glass Cutting Mat is so much more than just an ordinary cutting mat. It’s made from tempered glass and comes with a smooth 13 inch surface for precise cutting and easy clean up. The non-skid feet and durable work surface make it perfect for cutting, stamping, painting, scrapbooking, and it’s even safe for hot glue. Look for angle measurement lines, in addition to both inch and metric markings. The Precision Glass Cutting Mat begins shipping this summer.

And last but not least...we are all aboard the Washi Tape train right now. It has got to be one of the hottest trends right now. Well, WR took it one step further with this new chevron tape... Not only is it tape, it is actually cut and shaped like chevron!

I will leave you all drooling over these new products for now, check back later for the new paper line releases and make sure you look for these products which will be coming out soon!

Senior Prom...

Senior Prom...the dance to end all dances! Not to be bias or anything but I think my son and his date were the best looking couple. I was so excited when I opened up my goodies from RRBF and saw that the new lines were a PERFECT match to highlight my photos. My son's date's dress was this beautiful gold ombre sequined with pinks and purples. (The photo does not really do the dress justice). She wanted to pull the gold out of her dress so my son was accented in shimmery gold with pink flowers to pull the pink out of the sequins. They looked beautiful. I used a subtle black print for the background to pull in the color of the tux and accented it all with pinks and golds to tie in all the colors. And of course, what layout is complete without bling, ribbon, twine and pop dots!
