paintin' in the house!

phew...

what a crazy week. man o man. we are painting the kitchen {edging is done}, the  entry way by the garage {done}, master bedroom and foyer/stairs upstairs/hallway upstairs. AND we are having a garage sale in 3 weeks so our garage...is literally....FULL! but i could not be more excited to sell this stuff and hopefully pay for a cuttlebug {shhhhhhhhhhh, the scrubster doesn't know that yet! LOL}

i have a little something here to share...i made this the other week from some AWESOME pageframe butterflies! i loooooooooooooove these things and this is my SECOND pack. sharon over at HSS sells them and is the owner of Pageframes.

i love little acrylic shapes {almost} as much as i love acrylic albums :) for these, just take your heat gun and heat up the middle of the butterfly until it begins to get soft {PLEASE use your tweezers for this!}. Once it gets soft, turn off the gun and bend the butterfly. Hold it there until it cools --it doesn't take long-- and voile! you have bent acrylic shapes.

I added some of my Mimosa Glimmer Mist to this frame. This frame is actually from an old Scarlet Lime kit i got awhile ago. 

Don't forget to check out the Bean Talk blog, I have a card over there!

I am so lucky! i am waiting for my luck to move over to the Powerball tonight ;) ... no seriously!!! LOOK at what i got in the mail this week from Kimber!? THANK YOU! Jillibean and WorldWin papers!!! woot woot!




I was so happy I dove into it right away and made a mini card. I LOVE MAKING THESE MINIs. cuteness. They're like those little those White Castle burgers...all that yumminess in a cute little package ;)

I got these journal cards in the pack and I wanted to play with them...so I folded the paper in half right above it and cut it out to make a card {that way it was attached at the top by the fold}. And I used the butterfly from the other Minestrone colllection with some finishing touches.

I was inspired by the GDT challenge @ HSS , by the talented Kandis Smith, who inspired us to make a card and use ribbon in a different way. I used my SavvyNSassy ribbon from this month's kit.
