How to color your decor elements - A tutorial.

Before I left, I posted an album to my blog using the individual home decor letters on the front of SU!'s linen albums.

Stampin' Up! asked me for more info on how I did it, if the letters lifted and more. So, I decided to do a tutorial on How to use the decor elements, and more exciting how to COLOR them AND make them SPARKLE!!!

Home from Vacation

It's SO hard coming home from vacation. We had a VERY fun time up at Old Orchard Beach, Maine this weekend. Isn't she cute with that ponytail? That was the first ponytail she didnt rip out! She's growing up so fast! I cant wait to scrapbook some of these great photos!

Here's a Happy Belated 4th wish for you and your family!

My Truck

Happy Sunday!

Well, some of you know that I got a new truck to tow the camper. My husband drives over 110 miles a day, so I'm driving the gas guzzler... It's a used truck, but it only had 16K miles on it when we purchased it.

One of my girlfriends took a look at my graphics and said "your husband is not going to want to drive it now, it's really girly." I'm not sure about all that, but I LOVE driving the truck. I'm not sure that I would want to go back to my old ~ low to the ground ~ car.

So, I just had to share.. I'm loving the flourishes.

Hugs,
Selene

Fun With Decor Elements!

I had another bunch here this evening for the Fresh Cut's stamp a stack and we had a lot of fun! I realized a short time in, that everyone was busy working and I had some free time on my hands. I just added a decor elements letter on the wall and I had an extra. So ~ it was time to play.

As many of you know, you can color our regular rubons with blender pens and pastels, so I got to thinking... I wonder if the decor elements can be colored???

The answer is YES~ This album, I applied a lower case "d", and used regal rose craft ink and sponge daubers to color the letter.

Then I applied heat and stick powder to it, and used a paint brush to remove excess powder from my album.

Heat it once with the heat gun to make it sticky, apply glitter (I used the chunky essentials glitter). and re~heat it to set it. Just AWESOME!

Fun, Fun, FUN!!

Check out what we are making at class this week!

The first batch of happy stampers came through last night and tonight we're going to do it all again!

At this class we made 16 cards (4 of each design). All in about 3 hours! I hope you like the samples!

These were made with the fresh cuts note cards that will be available in the new catalog in August.

Stampin Space Revisited!

I had even MORE fun with the Decor Elements last night while my family slept!

Here is the definition to the word "create" up on my stamp wall. it is right above my tools.

This is a pretty cool tool area. It's a fairly new addition to my stamp room. Only two trips to Ikea, and I basically own the whole store!

It's so nice to be able to put my hand on exactly what I need. AND NOW, I have a little inspiration on the wall right in front of me!

Here is a close up of "create" and a photo of another piece I put in my restroom, to accentuate the one I put in the kitchen. I think this is just fabulous! I can see I'm going to have a LOT of fun with this new product ~ now I need to place another order!

More Decor Elements!

My Daughter was so excited last night when we put the vinyl on her wall.

That flower light is from ikea, it's a night light for her room. She was dancing around saying, "I love my name on my wall!" She's 3 and full of spunk! Please tell me what you think!

I think that it's fabulous! I can't wait to see what else Stampin' Up! has coming down the line!
