Happy Friday Blogosphere!

Today I have a Video Tutorial showing you how to create this little DIY Mini Book & how I’ve added it to my scrapbook page for my texture and interest! You’ll get to see how I’ve stitched the binding & used the Sizzix Bigz Die – File Folder by Jillibean Soup! This Sizzix Bigz Die has definitely become a staple in my collection & I’m sure you’ll love it too!

Good Morning Blogosphere!

Today, I have a fun announcement! Earlier this month, I applied to be on the first-ever Butterfly Reflections Ink Design Team! Why? Well, Vanessa carries all the latest and greatest, she’s one of the most real people in the industry, and we’ve known each other as crafters for quite some time. So, naturally I’d want to be a part of the journey! And guess what?

I made it! I’ll be designing alongside these ladies to make Lucky 7:

Samantha Mann

Kristy Luckketta

Trish Theophilopolous

Lisa Lahiff

Brooke Peterman

Shawna Webster– Design Team Coordinator

I haven’t tried out for a design team in a VERY long time. Why? Well, with my husband’s deployment and a new addition to our family (Lilli, our youngest) I was having a hard time taking control of my obligations and schedule. This year, I’ve felt more in control than I have in LONG time! I decided to try out for this Design Team because the product in her store is AMAZING. I’ll be using it often and hope to be blogging on a more consistent basis as a result! WIN-WIN!

Congratulations to my fellow Lucky 7:

Supplies: Pebbles Rub-ons (From Me To You, Gold), Studio Calico Huey Mask (Here & There Chevrons), Heidi Swapp Color Wash 12 x 12 pad, Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle & Gelatos (buttercream), washi tape, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L (MyStik Permanent Strips Refillable, Adhesive Sheets (4×6), 3D Foam Squares)

Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July! I spent the evening with friends eating yummy foods (including some red, white, and blue creations) and watched some bits & pieces of various fireworks shows from their back porch!

This week, I’m hosting the Mix-Ability Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.com, MIX23: Multi-Surface. I’m challenging everyone to incorporate 3 or more different surfaces into their project!

I have a video tutorial on how to keep it simple:

I hope you’ll play along!!! I have an awesome prize package up for grabs! Many of you couldn’t play along with my last Mix-Ability Challenge, MIX15: Scene-It Scraps, so I’ll be combining participants from this challenge and my last one to win the following prize package:

Simply upload your MIX23 or MIX15 creations onto Splitcoaststampers.com, include “MIX23″ or MIX14″ in the keywords”, and then comment on this blog post with the link to your creation in the gallery!

It’s easy peasy lemon squeezy!

HAVE FUN!!!!
