It’s always the right time for love
Yes, I’ve moved on from holiday projects. That’s just what happens when you’re a crafter! I started back in July, so I think it’s time to look forward to other holidays, events and needs. That’s the funny thing about love. So, we have a holiday for it, but really, any time is a good time to put together a card with a love theme. Perhaps these could even get sent as a thank you for an extra special holiday gift I might receive…

Simple & Classic
Scaling back on textures, layers and embellishments can take a card from overdone to uber classy. I find that I tend to err on the side of too much, so I’ve been working on scaling back on some projects. Like Coco Chanel said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Well, I’ve been taking her advice and leaving off at least one “extra” embellishment to a project. Wow, what a difference it makes! I would have added some gold thread behind the heart cutout. Well, it would have looked great, I’m sure, but I think this clean version looks stunning!

Shimmer, not Glitter
Scrapbook.com sent me their new Glitter Brush Marker to try out. Well, as with most everything they make, it is a fabulous tool! Glitter is messy, and generally doesn’t have a place in my craft room. So, unless it’s glitter paper, or embossing powder, or a glitter brush, it’s a no-go for me. The great thing about this glitter brush is that it’s more of a shimmer brush. The glitter is micro and spreads evenly across projects. For that, it’s perfect to add some unexpected shimmer to any project.
