Welcome to My Little Corner of the Blogging World!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This post is a follow-up to my previous post on
Digital Vintage Photo Restorations that I have done in the past several

A few months ago, I was asked to restore a framed photo that
had been ruined in a flooding situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I did so and in talking with my client, I mentioned that I also did
Scrapbooking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was then given the job
of restoring the Scrapbook that my client had made several years before for her
son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had documented his life from

I first had to ‘piece the pages together’ and try to make
sense of how the pages had originally been organized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then had to carefully remove the ripped
photos and as much of the embellishments as I could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Even after further work, I had to make some 're-grouping' decisions, trying to make sense of where things had been. </span>I taped each of the photos together on the
back side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I scanned them into my Mac
laptop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One by one, I put them into my
Photoshop Elements program and ‘restored’ them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I printed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to find a
place to purchase the actual pages upon which they had originally been placed,
which was difficult because the company was no longer in business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finally found a Consultant who had a few
pages remaining from her days with that company!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I then had to recreate each page, placing the restored photos and as
much of the ‘salvaged’ embellishments as I had, adding other ‘new’ elements as
needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I put the book together
again and presented it to my very happy client – to give to her son - Again.</div>

In looking for a verse to begin this blogpost, as I always
do, I didn’t know I’d come across a verse – with the appropriate word ‘pillow’
I it – that would also be so true of my life as it is currently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not about the pillows that I’ve
made and am sharing in this post…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s where I am in life that makes ‘my pillow wet with sorrow’ – but
that’s not for sharing here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just

This is a departure from my usual Paper-crafting. I signed up to be a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant this past summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I often borrow the Loaner
Kit from my Director for my Parties until I have more of a selection of items
to show and sell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has little
pillows in the case trays to keep the jewelry from sliding in transport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was recently able to purchase a
‘used’ case from someone for me to use, but no pillows were included.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked my Director where she had
purchased hers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_">The woman who had made them for a while in this area has moved away and she mentioned that if anyone sewed, it would be a good ‘service’ to the local Consultants to be able to purchase them.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MY hand is
raised!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been sewing since I was 9 years old - back in the Paleolithic Era! - and this would be a fun, additional project to add to my repertoire of ‘things I do to survive’!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So –
here is what I’ve come up with recently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ll be sharing them at the 2014 Spring/Summer Launch this coming
Saturday, January 11<sup>th</sup>, at my Director’s home – and hoping that I
sell them – and will then make more. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I made several packs of 4 out of various remnant materials
that I purchased.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will see what
the reaction is and which types might be better accepted by the
Consultants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made several for my
own Case and am testing to see which materials might work better than others –
and it’s also a ‘personal preference’ as far as anyone’s personal style.</div>

Here are the ones I’ve made so far – Pinks and Grays are the current Cookie Lee Colors!<br />

</span>Here I am doing this, my ninth post in conjunction with a group I
connected with after I began using my Silhouette CAMEO cutting machine last
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a monthly post to
showcase projects that members of the Silhouette Challenge Group have made
using these wonderful machines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw">You'll find a list at the end here of those of our ever-growing group
who are participating this month</span>, so you can visit them, also!

I’ve always been partial to using Holly in Christmas
decorating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought a little
‘education’ as to its significance might be appropriate for those of you who
might be interested in how it came to be of such significance to this ‘Holly-day.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>8-]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, I’ll let you peek at the tags I made for this
month’s Silhouette Challenge Group Swap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were each to make 23 tags. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sent them to one of our members who had kindly offered
to sort and divide them all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
will then send each of us our self-addressed package back to us and we will
receive 23 DIFFERENT tags – one from each of the others in the Group!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all excited to see the creations
of everyone else -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Merry Christmas

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b> Holly Education 101 </b>- 8-]</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Holly has been
traditionally connected to Christmas and festivals associated with it for
centuries. Like Christmas songs and trees, its origins can be traced back to
Northern Europe and was actually first celebrated as a plant of great
importance by the Pagans. Its leaves are green with slightly jagged edges,
which may have been part of the reason that the druids used it as a ceremonial
head wear when they went into the forest.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Originally, the holly
was a type of offering that was giving to the God Saturn by the Romans during
the festival of Saturnalia. It was said that the holly was the sacred plant of
Saturn and was thus even more valued by the Romans. All images of Saturn are
depicted with him with the holly. It is also considered a special gift that was
interchanged with a high regard for its symbolism.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">At some point the
holly became significant to Christians. At first it was placed within
decorations that adorned doors as a method of preventing persecution. The power
of the holly as a method of preventing unforeseeable trouble was not limited to
the problems that earthly creatures could inflict but also demonic forces. It
was believed that hanging the holly on the door of any home would prevent the
entry of terrifying spectres who were more likely to attack during the holy
days. Soon it began getting more mainstream acceptance as an essential symbol
of Christmas festival.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As expected,
the initial purpose of the holly became less recognized by the Christians who
used it in yearly celebrations.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Another part of its
symbolic significance is related to the crucifixion of Christ who wore a crown
of thorns that caused him to bleed from his head. Thus the look of the hollies
is similar to the look of Christ's makeshift crown, and the berries symbolize
the blood that oozed forth from Christ during his darkest hours. The holly is,
subsequently more of a religious symbol for those who subscribe to this metaphorical
depiction of the widely popular plant.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It is typically
separated into two types the ‘she-holly’ and the ‘he-holly.’ Both types can be
distinguished by the properties of the leaves. The ‘she-holly’ is near smooth
along the surface, which understandably makes it more feminine, while the
‘he-holly’ is more prickly and rougher, clearly demonstrating more masculine
properties.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The holly may merely
be viewed by some as a great decorative piece in homes or for use in festivals.
However, its history is significant in the grand tradition of religions and
pagan belief systems.</i><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.christmasholly.net/">www.ChristmasHolly.net</a></i>

Hello and Welcome!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here I am doing this, my eighth post in conjunction with a group I
connected with after I began using my new-last-summer Silhouette CAMEO cutting
machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a monthly post to
showcase projects that members of the Silhouette Challenge Group have made
using these wonderful machines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw">You'll find a list at the end here of those of our ever-growing group
who are participating this month</span>, so you can visit them, also!
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For this month’s project, I have made Gift Bags to offer to
any individuals who would like to take orders for the lovely, reasonably priced
Cookie Lee Jewelry – earn Free and Discounted items for themselves - and
expressly at this time of year, allow a Donation of a Thanksgiving Dinner to be
made through a local charity organization!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of that in a little Gift Bag!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant, I
learned of this project just last week and decided to make these in conjunction
with this Silhouette Challenge Group post. I made several bags in each of the two colors I'm showing here today.</div>

Hello and Welcome!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m excited to be doing this, my seventh post in conjunction with a
group I recently connected with after I began using my new-last-summer
Silhouette CAMEO cutting machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s a monthly post to showcase projects that members of the Silhouette
Challenge Group have made using these wonderful machines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw"><span class="gmw_">You'll find a list at the end here of those of our <span class="gm_ gm_c52cd2f7-3655-76b6-eb39-b03de2709912 gm-spell">ever-growing</span> group who are participating this month</span></span>, so you can visit them, also!
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For this month’s project, I made several ‘Manly’ birthday cards for some of the menfolk family and friends who are having birthdays in the next several weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Men are just 'big boys,' after all! </span>I used a cutting file of Cogs and Gears from www.MyPapercrafting.com along with some ‘rugged’ elements that I came up with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I made several versions of a basic plan for the Easel Cards that I had.</div>

Hello!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is
YOUR summer going?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summer brings
lots of changes for many people and there are changes in the schedule on <a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/">www.mypapercrafting.com</a>, so I’ll be
posting with other Design Team members once a week – either on a Wednesday or a
Thursday – through the next couple of months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Melin has been working hard and has come up with Many new
files for us to showcase for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I hope you’ll see what I come up with each week!

– the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">’<a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/" target="_blank">Flower Pot Shape Card cf’</a></i> –
and also use the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘<a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/" target="_blank">Happy Birthday ds’</a></i>

Hello and Welcome!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m excited to be doing this, my sixth post in conjunction with a group
I recently connected with after I began using my new-last-summer Silhouette
CAMEO cutting machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a
monthly post to showcase projects that members of the Silhouette Challenge Group
have made using these wonderful machines. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw">You'll find a list at the end here of those
who are participating this month</span>, so you can visit them, also!
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 92.0pt;">
For this month’s project, I made a
lady’s 3D High Heeled Shoe to go with the Clutch I made a few weeks ago in
connection with ‘<a href="http://svgcuts.com/">SVGcuts.com</a> Giveaway and Post’ for this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s now the second time they’ve
offered this – and the second time I’ve joined in the fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They offer a cutting file for free – we
make the project and post – they send us a Coupon for a FREE Set of files!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Terrific!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 92.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 92.0pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 92.0pt;">
Here are photos of my previous - and now
this project. I thought I’d ‘make a set’ – for a modern Cinderella, of course!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shoe is not a Glass slipper, but
there is only one at this point – and it would take ‘just the right lady’ to
wear it properly…and Elegantly…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(MY hand is raised!!) I admit it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shoes are one of my weaknesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_">Perhaps it stems from childhood when I had to wear ‘special order shoes that tied,’ so they would stay on my extremely narrow feet – when others around me could wear loafers and other types of cute slip-ons.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love ‘especially elegant’
high heels and usually wear heels ALL of the time in some form or another…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I saw this File, I was ecstatic
and anxious to get and make it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This Giveaway was the perfect opportunity -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

I made them in ‘my signature
colors’ – Lavender, Black and White.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was suggested that one make the Base of the shoe in a similar color
to the exterior pieces to blend them together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to make them in contrasting colors for a more
dramatic effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used
hand-written stitching on white and then<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> added
</span>black satin ribbon, also, to coordinate the items.

Hello!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is
YOUR summer going?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summer brings
lots of changes for many people and there are changes in the schedule on <a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/">www.mypapercrafting.com</a>, so I’ll be
posting with other Design Team members once a week – either on a Wednesday or a
Thursday – through the next couple of months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Melin has been working hard and has come up with Many new
files for us to showcase for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I hope you’ll see what I come up with each week!
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week I decided to use one of the several Paper Lace
cutting files that Melin has made – the ‘<a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/" target="_blank"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lighthouse Paper Lace cf</i></b></a>.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recently, I made a card featuring the
Cornflowers that used to grow in profusion along the Michigan highways<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and which I enjoyed seeing on the drive
from where I lived in Grand Rapids to where I spent many happy summer days with Dear
Friends on Lake Michigan between Holland and Grand Haven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One precious memory is of taking long
walks on the beach and seeing the Lighthouse at the end of the Pier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So here’s another card dedicated to
Memories of Michigan – combined with memories of Dear Newer Friends here in
California and their hospitality to me. After a visit with them recently, I
made this Thank You card for them.</div>

When I stay at the home of Dear Friends of mine, it’s a
lovely Guest Room that awaits and envelopes me there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is decorated in a Nautical Theme and even has a ‘white
noise machine’ that simulates waves crashing to soothe one to sleep and block
out other sounds during the night.

Our sons attended the US Naval Academy (2005) and that’s how we met – at a USNA Parents Dinner in 2001.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both of our sons went into the Marines upon graduation, and
as they have moved on and around the world, Susi and I have grown together in
our friendship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t get to
visit often (although we do ‘burn the phone lines’ constantly), but it’s such a

The Lighthouse not only reminds me of my friends’ gracious
hospitality and Our Boys’ days at the USNA, but also of my childhood in
Michigan and our constant visits to the Holland/Ottawa Beach in the
summers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family of my
girlfriend since first grade, another Special Friend, had a cottage near there
and some of the happiest days of my childhood were spent there on the
beach!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can still feel the warm
sand on bare feet, the hot sun on bare skin, the refreshingly cool Lake
Michigan waves lapping along the edges of the beach…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can hear the foghorn on the Lighthouse pier, guiding boats
into and through the channel…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Hello!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is YOUR
summer going?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summer brings lots
of changes for many people and there are changes in the schedule on <a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/">www.mypapercrafting.com</a>, so I’ll be
posting with other Design Team members once a week – either on a Wednesday or a

and make a Double Side Step Card to illustrate a quiet morning ‘walk and talk
with God’ in the forest…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used to
live where this was possible (on Mt. Diablo in mid-California) and I really
miss being able to walk out my door, through the gate and into the woods, so to
speak.</div>

talking’ – God and me -</div>

Hello!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is
YOUR summer going?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summer brings
lots of changes for many people and there are changes in the schedule on <a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/">www.mypapercrafting.com</a>, so I’ll be
posting with other Design Team members once a week – either on a Wednesday or a
Thursday – through the next couple of months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Melin has been working hard and has come up with Many new
files for us to showcase for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I hope you’ll see what I come up with each week!
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week I decided to use one of the newer cut files that
Melin has made, the ‘<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cornflowers Card Set cf.</i></b>’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

I like to make Easel Cards and hope that the recipient might
display my handiwork for a time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
know where this one is going, but I’ll not say much here on the slight chance
that the recipient might read this and the ‘surprise’ of receiving it might be
ruined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cornflowers – the ones
that grow along the highways in abundance in my home state of Michigan – have
long been favorites of mine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
remember drives to Lake Michigan on summer afternoons and seeing them blow in
the hot, humid breeze as we passed by them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bits of memory on a ‘homesick afternoon’ now…

The card is white cardstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cut the background from a print cardstock in Periwinkle
and Lavender and distressed the edges slightly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cut 2 of the lattice portion – one of lavender and one of
black, which I offset slightly, so as to produce a shadow effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I adhered the lattice with foam pieces
to add dimension.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made the
cornflowers from periwinkle cardstock and lightly inked them with a deeper blue

For the inside sentiment, I chose the above stated verse – a
favorite of mine - which expresses my thankfulness for someone who has been an
Exquisite Friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I typed it in
PSE 10, printed it on white cardstock, used a Spellbinders die to cut it – and
the black and print mats for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These were adhered with foam pieces to the mat of lavender on the white
card base, so they are raised to form the ‘prop’ for the easel.

Hello!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is
YOUR summer going?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Summer brings
lots of changes for many people and there are changes in the schedule on <a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/">www.mypapercrafting.com</a>, so I’ll be
posting with other Design Team members once a week – either on a Wednesday or a
Thursday – through the next couple of months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Melin has been working hard and has come up with Many new
files for us to showcase for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I hope you’ll see what I come up with each week! Be sure to pop in over there daily and see what the other Designers have come up with -</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week I decided to use one of the newer digital files and
one of the newer cut files to complement each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made an Easel Card featuring the ‘<a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/" target="_blank">Proverbs 16:24 and Honeycomb ds’and the ‘Hexagon Paper Lace cf</a>.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

I like to use corrugated cardboard in my projects often and
thought I’d share a bit about that, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I save little boxes and ‘packing’ to use in my projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s easy to peel off one layer of the
cardboard if you spritz it with water, let it set a minute or two and peel it
off with a tweezers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can also
slide the tweezers down the ‘valleys’ of the corrugation to get all of the
layer off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then just cut or rip
the piece to fit your project.</div>

The little Summer Animal that I was to use to make my

originally created by Julia Truitt, using the Cricut ‘Create a Critter’ and
‘Everyday Paperdolls’ cartridges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

receiving this little guy in my envelope along with the others, I was
immediately inspired to make a birthday card for a Dear Friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although he has faced some
tremendous health problems for many years, he still enjoys playing softball
regularly on his local ‘retired Navy’ team in connection with the USS
Hornet!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought this Little

the Easel Card, so it would also be ‘useful’!</div>

I cut a slit in a piece of black cardstock and slid the Post-its

Hello and Welcome!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m excited to be doing this, my fifth post in conjunction with a group
I recently connected with after I began using my new-last-summer Silhouette
CAMEO cutting machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a
monthly post to showcase projects that members of the Silhouette Challenge
Group have made using these wonderful machines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw">You'll find a list at the end here of those
who are participating this month</span>, so you can visit them, also!
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For this month’s project, I made some ‘Travel Accessories’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- One as a gift for a Friend and my
Director in my new venture with Cookie Lee Jewelry who just returned from a
Cruise trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought she might
like to keep some mementos in a little ‘Travel Case' Gift Box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another item is for me to use at my Cookie Lee Parties
to show ‘necessary information’ for the guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a Purse Gift Cardholder that holds a Gift Card or a Business
Card, which I can use in my display.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are many other things these can be used for, and there are several
other articles in the two terrific new file sets I used from ‘<a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">www.SVGcuts.com</i></b></a>’
– The Travel Case is from the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Summer Holidays</i></b> set and the Purse Gift
Cardholder is from the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Luxury Purses</i></b> set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure and check out their site and
all of their fantastic cutting files!</div>

</span>They are actually in the midst of changing their Logo this month and
have chosen several ‘background options’ to use in their Consultant items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to use one of them, a
Moroccan-type pattern in gray, as an overlay and to soften the bright pink
stripe on the body of the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I found an image of the pattern in Google Images and made my own pattern
in SCAL3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made one panel each
for the front and back of the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I used gray for the trim pieces and faux-hand-stitched them with black
pen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used silver paper for the
‘metal’ fasteners and handle, attaching them with silver brads. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_">I included some little ‘travel tags’ (from a <span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_"><span class="gm_ gm_fe14f478-4d7c-5fd8-d41c-3f683103ebb2 gm-spell">K&amp</span>;amp</span><span class="gmw_">;amp</span>;Company</span> stack – ‘Life’s Journey’) on the ends of the case.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made a Hibiscus blossom for the top
of the case and a luggage tag on which I will put her name in Calligraphy when
I give it to her.

I chose Melin’s ‘<i><b>Butterfly Shaped Card cf</b></i>’ for the base and
cut several layers from white cardstock and inked all edges in mauve-pink to
match the printed layer that I also cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
The pinks are actually much softer than they look in the photos - a very pale mauve-pink. </span>I designed my own version of an Easel Card, as I went along, so that all
of the elements I wanted to include would all fit and work together.

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I adhered only the ‘body’ of the flourished butterfly to the
front piece, so that the wings were ’free to float.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used tiny pink Roses as the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I adhered a few tiny pearls to the wings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

– which I thought was
appropriate to include for this tiny newborn ‘angel.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_">I used the Coolwash file and then played with the color settings in PSE 10 to get it to be a bit pinkish to go with the print paper and roses.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used a Spellbinders die to cut the
top and bottom of it – and a print paper to mount it on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I adhered them as the ‘prop’ with foam
pads.</div>

I printed the inside sentiment in my PSE 10 program and
tried to print in a color to match the print paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took several tries and finally decided this was ‘close
enough,’ although not exact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
ripped and inked the edges of the sentiment and adhered it to the bottom layer
– under the ‘prop’ layer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to
print the Verse that I had found – after taking the initial photos – and mount
it on the inside of the card – above the sentiment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took more photos and have now included it here.</div>

Welcome to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="gmw_">Thursday Totally Tags ‘n’ <span class="gm_ gm_d0feaa30-47a6-f0a3-340d-2f87fe7db9eb gm-spell">ATCs</span></span></i></b> in conjunction with <a href="http://mypapercrafting.com/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">MyPaperCrafting.com</i></a>!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_">Every Thursday we on the Design Team do a team post featuring Tags <span class="gm_ gm_6e21c516-4a79-662f-24a5-a76f22828b14 gm-spell">n'</span> ATC's. We have a specific </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Theme</i></b>
each week featuring an element, technique or embellishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all come up with something
excitingly different – using various types of tools, etc. to create our
projects...i.e., Cricut, CAMEO, Spellbinders, punches, stamps, paint, material,
lace, inks, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sky's
the limit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only restriction...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we use SVG's or Digi's, we will only
use those from the vast selection at PCW.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are some changes coming for the next few summer months, so please
keep track of things by visiting Melin’s blog – and checking back here
often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll let You know, when I
know how things will work out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Actually, at this point, this will be the last <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="gmw_">Tags ‘n’ <span class="gm_ gm_0a6db330-4d18-83b9-3ec9-f964da47e62a gm-spell">ATCs</span> </span></i></b>until
further notice – at least for the summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll continue to post something regularly, so don’t
think that I’m stopping – just that the MPC Design Team is ‘backing off’ for a
while… </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Theme for this week’s projects is ANYTHING GOES!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The freedom to do whatever one wants to
do may be a blessing – or a frustration – depending on how long it takes to
decide on what to do!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since our
Independence Day Celebration is near, I decided to do a tag with that in
mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With my son being a Marine
Captain, I am always partial to making things with a patriotic or military
design.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t resist
including my ‘signature Blossoms’ and a little Bling here and there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If he thinks it’s ‘too feminine’ for
him, I think he might know of Someone who might appreciate it…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>*<b>giggle-smile</b>*</div>

shortened pens, which are cuter to use with these.</div>

Welcome to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Thursday Totally Tags ‘n’ <span class="gm_ gm_be190ee2-384c-7473-2d66-1fdc024ca710 gm-spell">ATCs</span></i></b> over at <a href="http://mypapercrafting.com/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">MyPaperCrafting.com</i></a>!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every Thursday we on the Design Team do a team post featuring Tags <span class="gm_ gm_2d7752be-12aa-e510-83da-3a72c94e61ba gm-spell">n'</span> ATC's. We have a specific <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Theme</i></b>
each week featuring an element, technique or embellishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all come up with something
excitingly different – using various types of tools, etc. to create our
projects...i.e., Cricut, CAMEO, Spellbinders, punches, stamps, paint, material,
lace, inks, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sky's
the limit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only restriction...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we use SVG's or Digi's, we will only
use those from the vast selection at PCW.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are some changes coming for the next few summer months, so please
keep track of things by visiting Melin’s blog – and checking back here
often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll let You know, when I
know how things will work out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Theme for this week’s projects is SUN!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather than using an actual sun, I
chose to use one of Melin’s lovely cut files of a Sunflower to depict the sun
in a faintly cloud-kissed blue sky and I incorporated the song lyrics from a
favorite Oldies tune.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also made
a Tag for the Tag, so it’s a ‘2-for-1’ Tag day!</div>

Melin and our other Designers have set up for this – our last Tuesday Showcase for a
while – and the FREE New Release for today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Melin has decided to suspend our ‘regular schedule’ for the
summer, at least, for her Personal Reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week will be the last of our ‘regular Tuesday posts
in conjunction with her blog’ for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">I will continue to create projects and post here several times weekly and we’ll all see what our schedules hold later this fall, as to whether and how we continue together.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

be sure to check back often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

For today’s post I made 2 items which are representative of
some Changes in My Life, too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
have recently decided to add being a ‘Cookie Lee’ Jewelry Consultant to my ‘List-of-things-I-do-to-support-myself’!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In setting things up here to be ready
for holding Parties, I decided to decorate some $$ Store Clipboards to
use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Small one is to hold the
Opportunity Slips used for Drawings and collecting Info.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Large one is for me to use for my
Notes and writing up Orders. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">I used papers in the ‘Cookie Lee’ company color scheme – Hot Pink and Black – and some of Melin’s lovely, lacey cutting files which I Mod-Podged (my homemade version!) to make them sturdily useful.</span></span></div>

For this week’s project I made a Card of Love and
Encouragement for a Special Someone in my life who loves dogs, using the Free
File offered recently on the ‘TotallyTags and ATCs’ post on MyPaperCrafting – ‘<a href="http://www.mypapercrafting.com/" target="_blank"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Puppies in Basket VG</i></a>.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are usually Vintage Digi Files
offered on Thursdays and I just LOVE using them on my projects and giving them
‘An Elegant Touch…’!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
usually several ‘color options’ in each file, allowing for a vast amount of
creativity along that line and sometimes I also put them in my FREE “Perfect
Effects Free” program which offers even more color shading availability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time I used one that Melin offered
in several colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put the
‘original’ color in my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Perfect Effects
Free</i> program and added the ‘Blue Dawn’ action to it, which made the puppies
in browns and the flowers in light lavender with hunter green accents.</div>

each week featuring an element, technique or embellishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all come up with something
excitingly different – using various types of tools, etc. to create our

</span>There are some changes coming for the next few summer months, so please
keep track of things by visiting Melin’s blog – and checking back here
often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll let You know, when I
know how things will work out.</div>

</span>I’m excited to be doing this, my fourth post in conjunction with a group
I recently connected with after I began using my new-last-summer Silhouette
CAMEO cutting machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a monthly
post to showcase projects that members of the Silhouette Challenge Group have
made using these wonderful machines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

participating this month</span>, so you can visit them, also!</div>

luncheons, dinners or meetings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve used my favorite colors - lavender, black and sage -but they could be done in any colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve sized them to be 4” x 4”
