This is a cute idea I found on the stampin up site. The flip flops are cut from designer paper and grosgrain ribbon used for the straps. The base of the page is kraft paper with cool carribean for the water. Enjoy.

I love this new set!

I made a hostess gift for a workshop I am doing this week with my new set, Baroque Motifs. I just love it. It looks so elegant and there is so much you can do with it. We will be making a card at stamp camp using this same color combo and stamp set. If you haven't already signed up, email me soon, space is limited.

Do you need to refill your blender pen?

I know most of you are very fond of your blender pens, I know I am! I want you to be able to use them as long as possible and spend your money on other things in the catalog so here is a recipe for refilling the pen. I have read that you only have to pull off the brush end of the pen and refill with this concoction:


1 part glycerin (can be found at walmart)
2 parts distilled water
1/4 tsp of rubbing alcohol


Or you can use this one:

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons glycerin
5 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol

You should mix these ingredients in an airtight container and use a syringe to fill the blender pen. I haven't tried this yet but I have read in several places on the internet that this works. I also read that you can mix this mixture with ink from refill bottles on a palette to watercoler with an aquapainter.

I know I haven't blogged any pictures in awhile....be patient with me....I will get some out to you soon!! Enjoy!
