Sorry for the brief absence. What I thought were allergies on the way back from Whidbey Island turned into a sore throat and the accompanying body aches Monday night. Staying in bed all day yesterday and last night helped considerably!


New washi tapes from Stampington are in! Better pop over to Art 'n Soul asap to find the best selection . . . Dianne is at the store today and can't wait to share it all with you.


From Els at Elizabeth Craft Designs, a fun way to use your washi paper or other beautiful designer paper scraps . . . 

"Picked some matching colors of the Silk Microfine glitter

Cut the paper in strips.

Strips on the tape and then add the glitter. Mask off the parts you don't want the glitter to be using the release sheet that comes off from the tape.

I love the colors in this card! It is really simple to make. I did put a piece of our Double Sided Adhesive sheets on white cardstock, added the strips of Washi paper but you can use any nice paper or cardstock you have for this technique."
