You guys probably know by now that I'm all about cards. I love making them because they are quick and easy. This week I'm going to show you a new card here on the blog every day. On Friday you can tell me which one was your favorite, and we'll have a little random giveaway just to keep it interesting.
On this card I layered different textured laces in different shades of cream. It was really easy to make. The paper is Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden.
I used my new favorite tool, a button shank remover. I was amazed at how easy it took the back (shank) off the button so it would lay flush on my card. A while back I fell and injured my wrist, and I still have some wrist pain from it. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it, but it worked great.
I have had many requests to re-release my Birdcage Mini Album kit, which was published in Scrapbooking.com Magazine's March 2011 issue. It's taken a little longer than I had hoped, but it is back in stock!! Okay, that's the good news. Now for the bad news. The manufacturer has discontinued the album that is in this kit. I know, I know, what were they thinking, right?! This was the reason it took me so long to get the kits together, and it means I have very limited quantities. Unfortunately, once this album is sold out, it will be retired. You can click here to purchase your kit. They are in stock, and ready to ship.
I will NOT be doing this kit as a UStream show due to the limited number of kits available.
I'm excited to announce a new UStream workshop for May. This one is extra special because it's my first layout kit since I opened my online store. What took me so long?! I really enjoyed making it, because the new Webster's Pages papers are just divine, and that little ballerina silhouette is absolutely gorgeous. Here is the workshop description:
Use Webster's Pages newest collection, Ladies & Gents, and Prima flowers and Candy Gems to make this beautiful mulit-photo double page layout with lots of layers and dimension. Purchase this kit to work along with Melissa live during her UStream show, as she takes you step-by-step through the process, or view the recording at your convenience to work at your own pace.

I added beach photos of my little girl, but imagine how beautiful Easter or simply spring pics would be?! Or, maybe pics of a tea party. So many possibilities.
Having help in the store has been wonderful!! I was actually able to get some studio time in. Here's a little peek at what I'm working on.
Speaking of store, I thought I'd tell you about some of the deals and new product arrivals.

Tattered Angels goodies arrived at the store last week, and in honor of National Scrapbooking Day I am having a 50% off sale from now until May 7th on all of the non-Glimmer Mist products by Tattered Angels that arrived. That includes stamp sets, screens, Glimmer Chips, Glimmer Glass, and more. He's a video of yours truly opening the shipment. It's pretty funny.
If you caught the little blurb at the end about the retreat, none of the goody bag loot is for sale.
Webster's Pages is now in stock in the store! We have Ladies & Gents paper kit packs, as well as Country Estate-two beautiful collections! Coordinating trims, journaling cards, 6×6 paper packs, Princess Petals, buttons & twine, and more! The very popular silhouettes, bloomers, and resins are also in stock.
Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden was sold out the day after it arrived, but is now restocked. This collection is stunning! This is the perfect spring collection with lots of gorgeous embellishments.
I thought I'd share another art journaling page with you today. I have to admit, this page was just an excuse to use one of the new silhouettes by Webster's Pages. It was a very easy page. I just Glimmer Misted the pages with Carribean Blue, rubbed it with yellow chalk ink, and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges. The left page has a vellum overlay & butterfly from the Webster's Page Wonderfall collection.
