I just learned this "starburst" technique on pinterest.  It's going to be my new favorite!

Unbelievable deal!

I found this box of plain textured cards and envelopes for $6 at Michaels (that's 70% off)
If you make cards, you know you can't even buy envelopes that cheap!

So here's what I've created so far:

Stamps from "stampin up", ,metal embellishment from CTMH

 

Painting a chevron wall

I did this for my daughter's room this week.  Her wall are light purple and we wanted a dark purple chevron in between.
I knew I wanted the chevrons 8.5 inches wide/apart from each other so I simply cut a 8.5 inch square out of card board for my template.  
Then working from ceiling to floor and marked it off and taped it.  
I put tape scraps on the chevrons that would not get painted.
Then we painted 2 coats of the dark purple and this is how it turned out!

Do you like washi tape? You NEED these scissors!

Close to my Heart sells these "Non stick micro tipped scissors" for $13.95.  They are wonderful!  No more cleaning gunk off my scissors!

Cute frames from the dollar section

I found these at Michaels and I thought they would be cute in our daughter's rooms.  I simply put a sticker (from CTMH) in them.

Cards ready to give as a gift

My neighbor was kind enough to teach me how to make this card and she punched a bunch of the squares for me.  Sorry these pics arent very good but I have them bagged up for a gift and I didn't want to unwrap them.

Then I made some of these to use up the scraps:

Paper and punches are stampin up,   Little insect stamps are from Micheals, "thanks" is from CTMH, "Wishing You" is from verve stamps
