Terra's Modified Banner!

Hi Everyone!

Well if you saw my Banner post on Tuesday you know that Terra The Bride to be modified her Bridal Shower Banner so she would be able to keep it. So I want to show you what she did with it. Now Terra is always telling that I am talented but My GOD she is SOOOOOOOO Talented. She is a different type of talented if you look at the scene on the wall... She Painted that! While she was pregnant with her Baby Boy Davian.

So here is what she did. She wanted to spell out "Davian" from the banner that said "Terra's Bridal Shower" So she was missing an N and a V. So she cut the H in Shower and made it an N and the W in Shower to make it a V. I just loved that she repurposed my Project. Thanks Terra!

I hope this helps all of you repurpose your Banners.

Happy Crafting!

Step by Step...

Hi Everyone!

Happy Sunday! Today is my Design Day over at Pink by Design! I am so happy to finally be sneaking one of the November Releases! This has got to be one of my favorite sentiments! but before we get to the sentiment. I want to tell you that I love my irock and the templates that you can get. Altough I love the templates I hate working around them. So Here is what I like to do.

Step 1. Choose the location of your template:

Step 2. With a pen or pencil make small dots in the center of each circle in the template (I used a pen so i could see the dots)

Step 3. remove template

step 4. Start adhereing the gems to your project

Step 5. Once you are finished you can move on to step 6...

Step 6. Finish your project.

Now how cute is that sentiment as a pregnancy announcement? We're growing by two feet! I absolutely love it! Stay tuned for information about the Next PBD release!!! Coming very soon!!!

Happy Crafting!
