A Bright Sunshiny Day

I have been dying to use this stamp set.  I think it was the first (of many) that caught my eye in this catalog.  And it has taken me so long to get it.  That makes no sense at all, but I HAVE it NOW!

I used the Tommy Paper Pack and my Cuttlebug to make this card.  The Burlap Ribbon gives it a little texture and the button was the suggestion of my fabulous club members.  They always know what's best.  A little Hemp in the Wooden Button and we are set.

Make sure you are getting out there to enjoy this great summer we are having. Snap those summer pictures and be thinking of what items you might just HAVE to have before this catalog is gone at the end of July.  The retired list is out and I will be posting it soon.

A Tommy Pinwheel

 I follow an amazing crafter found here who had a tutorial on this pinwheel.  I really wanted to try it, so I saved it and my club ladies did it the other day.  I think everyone enjoyed making this and I want to thank Joanie for sharing all of her wonderful projects.

We used the Tommy Paper Pack and Outdoor Denim Ink.  I also used Just A Number (D1514) which is one of my all time favorite birthday sets.

Paper sizes for this pinwheel are as follows:
1 3" square
2 2 5/8" squares
8 1 1/4" squares  (you will need two different patterns for these)

If you want more information on how to put this together, please email me and I can give you directions.

A Round Card

I always forget about round cards.  I have lots of ideas for them and have seen so many cute patterns, I should make up a bunch.  So many card ideas, so little time.  This is a recent Mojo Monday sketch.  I used the Tommy Workshop on the Go with a pop dot under the anchor circle.  The anchor is cut out and glued to the White Daisy circle.  The Cricut came in handy too with the circles.  Outdoor Denim Ink rounds out the colors.

Enjoy this wonderful sunshine!

4th of July

Do you recognize this layout?  It is the right side of layout #14 on page 32 of Make It From Your Heart (9035).  What great 4th of July colors!  I used the stamp set from the Tommy WOTG for the tag.  Those are Cranberry Brads making the semi circles.  And Dimensional Elements Stars sponged with Outdoor Denim.

The Lake

A little more Tommy for a few lake pictures.  This paper is working perfectly for anything nautical, but can be used for any pictures.  The bold colors of Outdoor Denim, Cranberry and Honey will add to any layout.

Tommy

 This is the second page of the Tommy Workshop On The Go.  I just wanted to show you how neat it looks to stamp White Daisy Pigment Ink on Cranberry Cardstock.  Love it!  And don't you just love how the Cricut cut the corners out on the three squares shown?  There are so many little extras shown in the WOTG that I wouldn't think of.  Like the chevron in the upper right corner.  It adds so much to the layout.

The Tommy Workshop on the Go is just $29.95 and comes with the paper pack, stamp set, white daisy cardstock, the Tommy Assortment, Dimensional Elements Stars and the Instructional Brochure.  What a great value.

Do It With Heart!
