Springtime Vintage Brooch

Check out this great brooch that was yet another one of our make and takes at Leadership this year. There are layers and layers of our new Springtime Vintage fabric plus some of the new paper, vintage lace, and a beveled windowpane in the center. I have to say I wasn't sure what I thought about the Beveled Windowpanes until I used them. They are really nice and add just that small amount of detail to your project.

The fabric was cut out using the Sizzix Big Shot, of course, and some of our great dies.

Want to make your own??? I'm throwing around the idea of holding a brooch class sometime this spring. Let me know if you are interested!

Clearly For You Card

So I'm a gal that loves texture and this card brings it, that's for sure! This was another one of our make and takes from the Stampin' Up! Leadership conference that I attended last week.

The Clearly For You stamp set is new in the Occasions Mini Catalog that just came out this month. Did you notice the crimper that I used on this card? I often forget about the crimper but boy I really like the look!

Simply Adorned: Leadership Style!

Let me just tell you that last week was a blur, but a great blur at that! I spent most of the week in Nashville, TN at the annual Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference. We (meaning SU! demonstrators) were treated like royalty! Serious. The conference was at the Opryland, what an amazing place, I'll share some pictures of it later for ya all!

For now here are some of our make and takes that Stampin' Up! provided for us (I stamped them though).

Using the new Clearly for You stamp set we made all of our make and takes. These projects use the 1 1/2 x 2 inch Simply Adorned (our jewelry line) Charm. I am totally into birds right now along with what seems the majority of the world so this charm insert is perfect for me.

Love the lace necklace on this one! So vintage and so serene.

If you want lots of vintage bling this necklace has it! From the monogram "T" for Tara to the pearl bauble.

Do you notice the small accents of our new fabric???

Lastly, we were able to make a great insert for Valentines! I bet you could get away with wearing it all year long though.

Love the key and the glitter paper!

Super cute and Super fun to make!
