THE ART OF TEA - CHINA 2013

Tea for Two or Three or More...

I have to say another one of my favorite things I did while in China was tea tasting, yet another tourist thing but it was fun and amazing to see how different combinations of tea have amazing healing powers.

Many of these tourist spots are little hidden away areas you couldn’t find on your own unless you had a guide. I was absolutely amazed by the different senses and tastes. The following are some of the images that I took, during our instruction. I love the contrast with the glass and the tea leaves and the wood. I couldn't stop taking pictures!

NOTE: I also loved the paper bags they used when you bought tea (yes I bought some tea, a black tea and a flowering tea both of which are delicious) I was able to get a few of which I took apart to use on future pages.

STARBUCKS - CHINA 2013

Nothing keeps me from my coffee...

Coffee* in China was so wonderful and I don't mean the Starbucks but the hotels we stayed at were amazing, both in services and food. We did stay at 5 star hotels so you will expect this however; the attention to detail was amazing! 

One of the things that we had fun doing was spot the Starbucks; I couldn't believe for such a Communist country that there were so many big name companies in China. One of the things that I did was to collect coffee mugs from each major city you know the ones that are themed with the cities name. And they even have different gift cards, there's are made of coated paper and they let me have two so I could scrap on this page along with instructions on how to make a good cup of Joe. Everything in Chinese of course which made it even better and unique.

I loved the outside of this particular Starbucks that I took a photo; I love this page for the colors and especially the memories.

* I will talk about the tea later in my posts

SWEET LITTLE MAN - CHINA 2013

CHINA 2013 - SCRAPBOOKING

I love to travel and I have a very large bucket list of places that I want to see in my lifetime. Last year I went to China with a group of wonderful people some of whom I have met in Italy a few years ago and some who are now part of my traveling family. These trips are specific adventures that including Ali Edwards and her philosophy of Telling Your Own story. 

This month I will be sharing pages that I created from this trip using various lines such as Crate Paper, Echo Park, Stampin Up, October Afternoon just to name a few. 

Join me on this trip of a life time through my eyes.

White Emperor City (Baidi City)

A few miles into Fenjie County, on the northern bank of the Yangtze River is Baidi City (White Emperor City), also called Baidi Temple. It is located on Baidi Mountain at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, one of the Three Gorgers of the Yangtze River.

This little guy was at one of the markets we passed on our way to a Baidi Temple, he was so adorable and loved having his picture taken.

I love to stamp on many of my images it adds a uniqueness to the image and makes it even more part of the page. Layering is a big part of my designs, I like mixing textures and colors and of course you need something shiny, sequence is an important embellishment and cheap way of adding bling.

What are you favorite embellishments to use on your pages? Do you like to go outside of the box, for me I like picking up different items on the trip that I can add to pages later such as labels, business cards, bags and papers or playing cards. 

Join me for this one of a kind workshop and create a 12 page Mini Starbucks Album using recycled* cups and sleeves.

This workshop features the adorable Crate Paper line Bundle Up!

The following is included in each kit: 

• 1. Bundle Up Chipboard – 65 adhesive backed chipboard stickers

LUNCH BOX LOVE WEEK 3

Lunch Box Love Week #3

Whoops I can't believe that it is Wednesday and I have already missed two posts. I have been busy with getting ready for our Info evening coming this Thursday for our Crop and Cruise in Feb 2014 plus trying to get things final for my trip to China in November with Ali Edwards! Plus finishing my Xmas Digital Line.

I have been getting such fantastic feedback from Mom's, friends, Aunts, Nana's about how cute these little cards are. Week 3 is upon us and we have a new set of printable Lunch Box Love notes to down load for FREE.

Please share with your other Mom's. You can download the PDF HERE.

LUNCH BOX LOVE WEEK 2

Lunch Box Love Week #2

For me the cooler weather and the dogs at the window barking as the kids head back to school is my signal that summer vacation is over. You see we have no children but it doesn't mean that I don’t love seeing them head off for a new year of growing their minds. I love hearing the school bell ring and the kids play at recess and lunch time it reminds me of my childhood.

This year I decided to design some cool printable lunch love notes. If I was a Mom I would have so done this. I would have been that annoying Mom who would draw all over their lunch bags (ours would always be brown paper and crayon approved). So in celebration of the new school year I am going to try and do a series of these notes that you can download and print and make your child the envy of the lunch room.

Please share with your other Moms it's FREE! Get the PDF HERE.

Magnificent ...the perfect word for you

The perfect word for you!

So I am doing these random acts of kindness (RAK), working on designs enjoying and then mailing out to some unfortunate or maybe fortunate person depending on if you like my work LOL. Would you like to be one of these people? The following is a card "box" a card that folds down to a box, and you can add things inside as long as you don't use to many embellishments (as I discovered to late) tags are best so that you can use them on gifts or leave as notes to someone. 

The following is using Teresa Collins Everyday Moments which I am absolutely in love with.

If you would like to receive RAK leave me a message with address and your name might be chosen but I can't tell you if you won! But you just might get something in the mail!

Thank you

Stripes Wedding Suite

Stripes Wedding Suite

Every once and awhile I just like to design something nice and simple and clean. Simple font that works well with other styles add a little bling and your done. This design will work well with any colour but I love the navy and grey in fact I think grey is going to be my new black for ever and ever!

This design was created in My Digital Studio (MDS), add an embellishment and you have a clean elegant wedding suite. Simple as that!

Sneak Peak #4 Wedding Spring Work Shop 2013

Union Wedding Suite

This wedding invitation screams backyard garden party. From the soft greens to the vibrant orange and pink. Even the monogram is different, I love the unique use of the font and making the word "Union" more prominent something very different.

This is a hybrid invitation I both stamped and used My Digital Studio (MDS) to create this wedding suite.
