Washie Tape Project

 I hope by now you have all made the Death By Decadence bars and ate too many to move, so you just have to sit there and craft!  Now I have you right where I want you, in creating mode ;)

We always have people asking us what Washi Tape is, how to use it, what to use it for, and why is it such a big hit.  The answer is basically it is more pliable patterned scotch tape.  It is super easy to use on any project and especially helpful for those tiny embellishments you don't want to cut a tiny piece of paper for.  In the case of this project it is helpful so you don't have to cut skinny strips of paper to wrap around these straws. And the skinny strips of paper would probably just frustrate us and make us feel resentful towards the dessert we just ate because we sure aren't feeling skinny ourselves anymore ;).

So the great thing about this project is that the pictures tell all you need to know and you have so many colors and patterns of Washi Tape to choose from right here at Allscrapbooksteals.com.  Be sure to check out Doodlebug's Blog to get more fantastic Washi Tape project ideas!

 Happy Crafting!

The leaves are changing.  It's finally October.  I can't wait for Halloween and all the fun dress-up parties.  I also can't wait to start crafting gifts to give to friends and family for the holidays.  I will definitely be using the new Sunshine line from My Mind's Eye.  I go to a lot of antique fairs during the summer, and these papers and embellishments remind me of those carefree days searching for treasure.  Get your supplies now for at least 25% off.  Happy Crafting. 

Fine and Dandy by My Mind's Eye

Happy Spring!  We've had snow this week so it isn't feeling very Spring-like.  The weather man insists we'll have sunshine this weekend, but I'm not holding my breath.  At least gloomy weather is a great excuse to craft.  I'm loving the new Fine and Dandy line by My Mind's Eye.  You can get the entire line for 25% off this week at All Scrapbook Steals.  Happy Crafting.

Giving Thanks

I can't believe Thanksgiving is only about two weeks away.  Where has the year gone?  Teresa Collins' gorgeous new Giving Thanks line would be perfect for making decorations and place cards for your Thanksgiving table. You can get it for 25% off this month.  Find instructions for how to make your own paper pumpkin on Teresa's blog.  Happy Crafting.

Post Edit:  The instructions for the pumpkin are not on the blog yet.  Teresa did a demo on Good Things Utah and I'm trying to get the link to the video.  Sorry for the confusion.

Halloween Album Kits

Have you seen these gorgeous new Halloween album kits designed by my sister Shayna?   I can't wait to get one.  They're on sale for only $21.99 at All Scrapbook Steals while supplies last.  You'll get all the paper (from My Mind's Eye's Spider's Web line), ribbon, and embellishments you'll need to create a 16 page album.  This would make a darling Halloween decoration to put on a shelf.  Happy Crafting!

Lost and Found

Have you seen the Lost and Found line from My Mind's Eye?  I am loving it like crazy, especially the Union Square collection.  It reminds me of a Parisean Flea Market, vintage and gorgeous.  You can find the entire collection at All Scrapbook Steals for 25% off this week.  Happy Crafting.

Acrylic Album Kits

Have you seen these adorable acrylic album kits that my sister Shayna designed?  They would be perfect for capturing all your summer memories.  There is a limited quantity, so get yours for only $19.99 before they're gone.  Happy Crafting.

Steal of the Week

I can't wait to get my hands on these gorgeous paper pads from My Mind's Eye.  You get 180 sheets of glitter card stock for only $17.50!  In case you hadn't noticed from previous craft projects I've created, I am crazy for polka dots and damask prints.  I'm heading to Utah this week to attend the Casual Blogger Conference, and I will also be stopping by the warehouse to pick up some great new products.  I'm definitely going to grab a couple of these pads.  Get yours at All Scrapbook Steals before they sell out.  Happy Crafting.

Post Edit:  I'm sorry to let you know that the paper pads are not card stock thickness, nor do they have glitter.  I guess My Mind's Eye had originally planned to do glitter paper, but changed their minds.  These pads are still full of gorgeous papers, perfect for cards or scrapbook pages.

Letterpress Love

First off let my give you all a quick update on my husband.  He had surgery last Thursday to remove the new tumor growth.  The surgery went really well.  There have been a few complications since, but he is now home and doing much better.  Thank you for all your kind thoughts and prayers for our family at this difficult time.

One of the nice things about Russell's surgery was that my mom came to visit and she brought me a lovely QuicKutz Letterpress machine.  We have had a lot of wonderful people doing amazing things for us for the last few weeks and I have a ton of thank you cards I need to get out.  I figured I might as well try out my new toy and make the thank you cards myself.

I was quite intimidated by the whole process at first, but once I got started it couldn't have been easier.  The best tip I can give you when starting to use your letterpress for the first time is to get a wet paper towel and make sure you wipe off any ink that isn't on the print plate where you want it.  That way you won't end up with smudges.  I had so much fun printing my first set of cards and now I can't wait to plan other beautiful projects. You can find all your letterpress tools and accessories here for 25% off retail.  Happy Crafting.

Mother's Day Ideas

Mother's Day is coming up and I can't wait.  In case you didn't know, I have the best mother in the world.  I'm sure yours is the best too.  Of course I have to make her a card to show her how much I appreciate her.  I really must use Basic Grey's Euphoria line to create the perfect card.  You can get it for 25% off retail here.  Happy Crafting.

Linen Albums

I don't know about you, but I adore linen.  To me it is so classic.  It goes with everything, and will always looks smart and sophisticated.  Of course I adore our new line of linen albums from We R Memory Keepers.  They are available in 8 colors here.  Silverstone and Pomegranate are my top picks.

Imaginisce Twitterpated

Even though it is snowing here today, I am getting excited for Spring.  I can feel it coming.  I can't wait to start planting our garden and seeing flowers bloom again.  I love all the bright cheerful little critters and flowers in imaginisce's Twitterpated line.  They remind me of all the lovely things Spring has to offer.  You can find these products for up to 25% off here.  Happy Crafting.

Dear Lizzy

 

I am in love with American Crafts new Dear Lizzy line.  Aren't the embellishments divine?  You can find the entire line for 25% off here.  Happy Crafting.
