I LOVE IT!


Today I received my first expression from Uppercase Living. I wasn't home when it arrived so it was a tad bit cold after sitting in the 10 below wind chill of northwest Indiana. As soon as it warmed up to room temperature, I was ready to go! Not only was it my first time applying a large expression to my walls, it was also on textured walls, and it was a 2 part expression! With all that in mind, I lined it up on my wall and got started! It was SUPER EASY! First, I taped the HOME to the wall and applied it...rubbing it firmly. Then I lined up the overlay "where your story begins" and rubbed it firmly...and THAT WAS IT! DONE!

I am very impressed with the outcome and can't wait to do some more! Best of all, the colors Maycen and I choose were perfect and look great! Yes, you can select your own colors to match your decor! LOVE IT! The colors we selected were warm stone and chocolate brown...and you can't tell from the photo but it is on a very light blue wall. GORGEOUS!

Now that Maycen has seen how great it turned out, she can't stop thinking about the expressions she wants in her "new" room when we redecorate this spring.

A tisket a tasket! A black and red basket...



Take a look at this darling Valentine's Day basket with a peppermint patty tucked inside. Maycen had a group of friends over for a Valentine's stamping party this past weekend and this is just one of the cute projects they made. How adorable! Please excuse the mess...stamping in progress!

New use for ROUND TAB PUNCH




A few days ago I posted an alternate use for the scallop punch. Well, today you can endulge in a new use for your round tab punch. The pictures below show a 3 x 3 card with a circle punched out. The circle is big enough for a scallop piece of cardstock to fit through..How did I do it you ask? ...Here's how..take your round tab punch and slide your cardstock to the back of the punch. Then punch. Turn the punch 90 degrees, lining up the punch with the already punched cardstock and punch. TA-DA! You will have a PERFECT CIRCLE!
