Thinking of warmer times with E.A.D.!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now it's time to celebrate some birthdays in my family starting with me on the 29th, and then my Brother, Mother, and Grandmother's before Christmas. So we all keep busy this time of year. This time of year also means it's going to be cold. I'm not a huge fan of the cold, so I decided to do a layout from my trip to Hawaii from earlier this year. I got to enjoy a week there with Spencer. It was lovely! So warm and beautiful. For my layout I used the cute Hawaii vinyl rub-on set. After finishing the layout I took a fine tip marker and went around the edges to create the faux stitching look. I plan to create the right hand side of this layout and a few others to showcase more of my photos from Hawaii!

My recipe:
(1) Hawaii vinyl rub-on set
(1) 12x12 piece of Kraft cardstock
(3) pieces of cardstock (yellow, orange, and purple)
(3) pieces of patterned paper
(1) fine tip black marker for faux stitching

I hope you all enjoyed my project:) Also make sure you check out the EAD blog for sales! Have a great day!!!!

Ho Ho How neat is EAD?

Wow here we are over half way done with November. For this week's project I decided to make so Holiday cubes/blocks. I think those wooden blocks with different vinyl from EAD Designs are so cute, so I needed to make some for myself. I made 3 inch blocks out of cardstock. They were very easy to make. After assembling my blocks I cover each side with a different paper.

Ok, now for the good stuff: The VINYL!!!!

As soon as I seen the HO! HO! HO! set in the Christmas section, I knew I wanted to make some blocks with them! I ended up ordering them in 6 colors- 2 reds, 2 greens, 1 white, and 1 silver. I wanted to use them in sets of 3, but I didn't want to make 6 blocks to show the color combinations that I wanted. I decided to do one set on the "front" and then turned them around and put the other set on the "back" side. This way, depending on how I decorate I can pick one of the sets to coordinate with the decorations. After applying the HO! HO! HO!'s I added stickles around the letters.

At that point I could have said "ok they are done", but I felt they were missing a little something.

SNOWFLAKES!!!

I used 15 snowflakes from the Snowflakes vinyl set in silver and white.

Call of Duty and E.A.D!!!

Hi! My husband has only been gone less than a week and I've already completed 3 projects. It's a good way to keep myself busy. I even woke up bright and early Tuesday morning to get in line for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game release, just so Spencer can play it as soon as he gets back from their work-up(Navy) aboard the USS Stennis.

Last month I shared a magnetic board I applied the super cute vinyl rub-ons from the
Just Because set. I love this set so much I decided to use it for my project to share with you today. I went to our local dollar store and bought a glass vase. I then took the Just Because set in Mint, Cream, and Pink and used the side trim pieces. I left the mint trim the width it was, and then trimmed the cream a little smaller and the pink the smallest. Then I applied 3 of the flowers(1 in each color) and then added 2 of the little birds. Then I added some clear pebbles and my bamboo stalks.

My Recipe:
(3) E.A.D. Designs - Just Because sets (mint, cream, pink)
(1) glass vase
(1) bag clear pebbles

Make sure you check out the E.A.D Store today because the set I used is on sale!!!!
Have a great day!
