5 Days of Emerald Envy, Day One ... and the Cutest Little Frog Ever

I think this is the cutest little frog I've seen for a while.  I just love his little smiley face.  I chose him to kick off 5 days that may leave you green with envy... or at least enjoying our new shade of green Emerald Envy.    

 Somehow, I think the polka dots just work perfectly with this card.  

I had a little 'frog fun' playing around with the envelope.

I added more hearts to the inside of the card.  The simple strip of CS with the hearts on it really makes the inside of the card special.  There's still room for a nice little message. 

I just love my little frog.  I have 4 more green days, so be sure to come back and see what's next.

Happpy Cards, with Project Life Materials

Today, I'd like to share a couple of cards I've made using Project Life materials.  First up, here are the cards.

The card on the left was made by cutting the 'happy' from a Project Life card.  I saved the letters I cut out and used them for the card on the right.  Do you notice anything special about the first card?  It's a shaker card!  It has gold sequins inside and out!  Here's a closer look.

Both of these cards use 2 of my absolute favorite embossing folders.  I LOVE embossing folders.  They can add so much to a card!

 

... and, before I go, here are the extra pages / blank pages I added to my little Project Life memo pad.  If you missed it, go back to the previous post to see all of my memo pad.

Come back soon, as I keep adding more ways to use Project Life materials.  Rather than post a series all about Project Life, I prefer to keep adding in posts about it, along with lots of other cards and projects I've made, so that I continue to have something for everyone.  Each time I complete a new Project Life project or layout, I'll be sure to share it with you and hope that it inspires you to get going on your projects.

I Mustache You a Question...

The mustache theme is a very important part of my upcoming party, because one of the games involves counting all the mustaches in my studio.  The person who guesses the closest gets a prize.  The lucky person who guesses exactly, will win a free Mustache Framelit in with their order.  Here's a peek!

Sometimes, it's just fun to make a project that's purely just for fun.  I am having a ball with our new mustache framelit and truly love our new Large Polka Dot embossing folder.  I plan on exploring a lot more techniques using this fun folder.  

Can't come to the party but would like to be included in some of the party perks?  Use the following HOSTESS CODE and place your online order through me before the end of the day on Wed., July 30, and I will see that you get in on some fun party perks, too.  Here's the Hostess Code:

Before you go, I would like to share one more project with you... just the cover for now.  I've totally finished my Coloring Techniques journal and love how it turned out.  I decided to use our new File Tabs Edgelits and create some dividers.  My technique journal is divided into 3 sections, so these were perfect.  Class participants will make 15 pages for their journal, as well as receive dividers and a decorated cover for it, along with a 3-page handout.  Yes, that means you will learn 15 techniques for using color with your projects.  It is nearly impossible to estimate how long it will take to make the technique pages, so we will aim to stop at the 8:30 end of class time and save any unfinished pages for the September class.  This way, we can enjoy learning the techniques and not have to feel rushed.

Come back again soon.  In my upcoming posts, I'll be sharing more of the many projects on which I've been working... cards using special techniques, party projects, coloring techniques... and more.  Be sure to check it all out.
