New {Video Tutorial}! and New {Weekly Deals}!

Welcome Studio Visitors!  I've got a lot to share with you today.

First, I've been working away on a new video tutorial and here it is:

I have had my eye on this technique for a while and decided to enter this card for a couple of challenges.

As you'll hear in the video, I wanted to make this card with and without the Perfect Polka Dots TIEF (AC page 191, #117335).

Using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (OC page 35, #133324) adds such a fun and unique detail to the card and it's such an easy thing to do!

In a fun coincidence, the very stamp set used above (Make a Cake) is on sale this week as one of the Weekly Deals!

The Crazy3 are on Spring Break this week, but I'll be popping in periodically to upload some more projects.  I'm also looking forward to sharing some of the organization I've been working on in my Studio!

Halloween Card with Dynamic Duos, Sponge Grunge and MOJO

Boo!  :) How is it that I'm already making cards for Halloween and Christmas?  I guess it's because the challenges made me do it.  First, I blame the fab gals at Dynamic Duos, who encouraged us with their Black Tie combo this week to use Basic Black and Lucky Limeade.  

Next, I blame 365 Cards for the Sponge Grunge challenge, for which we were to add accents of color with our sponges...  You can see I added some to every shape on the card... 

...including the opening edge.

Of all my weekend's "toil," I'd say this project is one of my favorites (I hear MacBeth in my head now -- a witch's caldron project is sure to follow!).

Finally, I give blame credit to Mojo Monday (specifically MOJO258) for this great sketch...
