Card of the Week

This week's card of the week is elegant and simple.  Sometimes less is more and nothing translates into elegance more than gold.  This card features a focal point of gold embossing, done using our design adhesive transfers.  All you need to do after applying the transfer is sprinkle on your gold embossing powder, heat with your heat tool and presto!  Instant elegance.

The kit for this card will include all the cardstock you need to create 4 cards as well as a design transfer sheet and half back pearls.

Water Playtime

The weather here hasn't exactly been perfect summer weather, but it's nice enough for a romp in the waterpark.  It's not too hot and not too cold.....and let's face it, we'd gladly have this weather than the heat wave in the east coast any day!  The waterpark in the island is open for business and the kids are sure glad it is!
