There's No Place Like Home

Graphic 45's Magic of Oz arrived at Paper Vineyard last week and this week the design team had a BLAST playing with all the goodies!!! I took a cue from my new blog friend Barb and used a scrapbook layout she completed as inspiration for my project. The simplicity of using up those mini-scraps is just BEYOND brilliant. She is the newest of the MANY talented blog friends I have, so don't be surprised if you see me saying her name A LOT!!! Her talent is out of this world and TOTALLY up my alley [thanx for the card Barb, it is WONDERFUL]!!!

So, of course, I used Copics for this project. LOTS of E40's and R20's and finished up with YG20's... with a little Y18 and Y00 thrown in to make the cat tails and the shiny doorknob. For some reason, my shadowing lightened A LOT on this pic, so I'm going to try and take another pic in better lighting and re-post. Hopefully I can show this a little better. For some reason, I've been sucking with my camera.... what is up with that? Anyway, I am OVER THE MOON for this new Graphic 45 line (you should see all the chipboard tags in this one) and HIGHLY recommend you check it out.

This is just absolutely beautiful Danielle! Your coloring is amazing, and that distressed edge around your focal point is so pretty and reminds me of aged parchment or delicate mushroom skin - so perfect! The way you brought together all the elements is just gorgeous! :o)

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower

The BEST Copic Storage

**** HUGE HALLOWEEN GIVE AWAY... CLICK HERE !!!!**** Ok, so I've done posts in the past about various Copic storage solutions, but I was given THE MOTHER of all storage ideas by my friends Jennie Black and Krista Koenig!!! Let me share with you the construction of the storage box and then I'll finish this off with the BRILLIANT solution my husband came up with.... cuz I married a GENIUS!!! What you'll need to create the AWESOME storage box pictured here is: 1 Double Deep Art Bin 1 plastic grid for ceiling lighting (found at your local home improvement store) 1 half inch thick wooden square dowel (also found at your local home improvement store) Dimensional adhesive squares Wire cutters or sheers Screws with corresponding drill bit Drill So I first cut the ceiling grid down to 19 squares by 19 squares using my wire cutters. You will need two 19 x 19 sections of grid material. The wire cutters went through the plastic material of the grid like butter and I
