Icy Rainy and maybe Snowy Tuesday

Good morning to you! well, today started out yucky and like the rest of the nation, we're supposed to get more weather. School canceled, so I am thinking about making some heart cutout sugar cookies with the girls for Valentine's.

To celebrate my birthday, I'm having a sale in my Etsy Shop - in less then two weeks I'll be turning 3#%#$. oh sorry, um typo- thirty-coughcough. something. soooooo ... I thought it would be great to pass on the celebration and lower my prices.   All ribbon is now just $3 for three beautiful yards of crinkled seam binding, in gorgeous colors. At that price, it's like buying 3 and getting your 4th ribbon for free (at regular pricing).


I wanted to share some fun Vinyl Cards I made for the Glue Arts blog last week. Have you ever thought of using Vinyl to create with, other then on windows or mirrors or walls? I used some acetate and created windows in my cards, then used the Accent It All to add these fun diecut images on it, it sticks right to the acetate and there are no ugly glue marks when you look at the back!
