<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week I decided to surprise Beverly and the design team at <a href="http://classycardsnsuch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Classy Cards 'n Such </a>, and add a card to the challenge.</span></span><br />

this week brings back memories of gorgeous rainbows I remember from
years past. Who doesn't love a rainbow after a rain storm? The colors
seem to glow in the sky. The memories of rainbows I have seen over the
years, are what led to my card today.</span></i></span></span></span><br />

Life has been busy to say the least. December alone was crazy. I had to replace my laptop, hubby needed new tires on his truck and then I managed to kill the oven on the cooking range, so we had to get a new one. Talk about some expensive Christmas shopping, these three things alone really put a massive dent into the wallet.<br />
<br />
I've been working on scrapbooking my husband's military pictures from 36 years ago. Yep, I'm trying to play catch up with our photos. It's a work in progress, but it's close to being done. I'll be glad when I can move on and start other pages.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I decided to start making cards again. There are many new dies and stamps coming out for 2014, so it's time to get excited again. Recently I bought a few new dies and other things from <a href="http://www.classycardsnsuch.com/" target="_blank">Classy Cards 'n Such</a>. Here is the card that I came up with.<br />
<br />

I embossed the lines between the planks of wood. To make the wood look
more aged, I sanded the paper with a sanding block and rubbed white ink
for a weathered look.</span></i></span></span></span></i></span></span></span></i></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"> are new from Cheery Lynn Designs. They are the perfect accents for the
background paper. The deep detail on both dies really gives the feel of
old and worn. First I sanded the wheel and used a brown marker to bring
out the depth of the wood of the wheel. I used </span></span></span><span style="color: black;">the small</span><span style="color: #990000;"> </span><a href="http://www.classycardsnsuch.com/Foam_pads_approx_1_8_x_1_8_2_5_x_2_5_mm_p/ec-65000012.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Joy!</span> <span style="color: #990000;">Foam</span> <span style="color: #990000;">Pads</span></a> </i></span></span></span><span style="color: black;">to give dimension under both dies.

<br />
A few weeks ago I scored a great deal for a <a href="http://kellycraftinnovations.com/Home.html" target="_blank">Kellycraft Get-It-Straight Laser Square</a>. I have to say I am very impressed with my new tool. In addition I also have the <a href="http://shop.kellycraftinnovations.com/Multi-Mat-MM12.htm" target="_blank"> Multi-Mat</a> that helps keep everything in place and straight. Read on for my product review!<br />
<br />
After watching videos, I felt this was something I needed to help with my scrapbooking and card making. What a difference it has made in my crafting. I no longer need to use painters tape to tape down my page or my ruler. Here are photos of both:<br />

When I received the laser square, I couldn't get it out of the packaging fast enough. I was excited. I had to tape down my page and the laser square to my counter top. Hmm. I wasn't too thrilled with that. I went ahead and tried out the laser square. On the right side of the laser is a ruler that has a slide tab, to move the laser up and down. It sticks a bit in two spots but I have been told that the more I use it, that it will glide over those 2 spots easier. It's something that occurs in manufacturing. Wow, this thing shoots a beam not only across the page, but the room also. So I went to the Kellycraft website and watched the videos. After reading the specifics, I still had questions.<br />
<br />
I sent an email to Kellycraft in regards to the Laser Square and Multi-Mat. Imagine my surprise when Jimbo Kelly, president of Kellycraft called me. Talking with Jimbo Kelly on the phone, is like catching up with a very dear friend. He is so friendly and funny too!! He not only answered all my questions, but he also asked what types of crafting I do. So we decided I needed to try the Multi-Mat, but they weren't going to be in until the end of October. I mentioned that I had a big 3 day scrapbooking weekend coming up at the end of the month would be taking my laser square along. About 2 weeks later, Jimbo Kelly found out that the Multi-Mats were at the shipping company. He personally drove 67 miles to pick these up and mailed mine out the same day! WOW!! He called me to tell me it was on it's way. Talk about customer service! <br />
<br />
With package in hand, I opened it up and imagine my surprise when I saw what else was in the package. Included were the Multi-Mags to mount to the bottom of the Laser Square and Camo Skins to decorate the top of the Laser Square.<br />
<br />
The Multi-Mat is magnetic. It comes with 4 very <b><u>strong</u></b> magnets to hold your papers to the mat. The mat is 12x12 and self healing. The white lines on the mat match up with the Laser Square. In addition it is mounted onto a magnetic platform. If you look at the above photo, you will notice a "t-square" and that is where you mount the Laser Square. I think of it as a "docking station". I attached the Multi-Mags to the bottom of the Laser Square, had to trim it a little bit for a nice, snug fit. Now I don't have to tape down my papers or Laser Square because everything is held down magnetically! <br />
<br />
I have already done pages for my scrapbooks and made greeting cards. Stamping is a breeze using the laser. Journaling is simple, just write on top of the laser beam and now my handwriting is nice and straight. Talk about easy!<br />
<br />
If you want great looking pages and an easy way to keep your projects in place, I highly recommend getting the <a href="http://kellycraftinnovations.com/Home.html" target="_blank">Kellycraft Get-It-Straight Laser Square</a> and <a href="http://shop.kellycraftinnovations.com/Multi-Mat-MM12.htm" target="_blank">Multi-Mat</a>. Kellycraft has the Laser Square available as a "white box" special (quantities are limited) without the fancy packaging even cheaper! Go to Kellycraft, check out the Online Shop tab for "Tools and Accessories" and order yours today! Be sure to check out the other products and don't miss those Jimbo Lojik stamps. They are so funny. I can't wait to order them!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The stamp set from Flourishes is called <a href="http://www.classycardsnsuch.com/Autumn_Blessings_from_Flourishes_p/fl-ss256.htm" target="_blank">Autumn Blessings</a>. It has so many pretty stamps and sentiments that are just perfect for the fall season and Thanksgiving. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My card base starts with a Sage Green cardstock that I have in my paper collection. I used a scroll stamp that is from the <a href="http://www.classycardsnsuch.com/With_Sympathy_by_JustRite_p/jr-cr-03570.htm" target="_blank">With Sympathy</a> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">stamp set by JustRite. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I cut out the Spellbinders Basic Lattice from white cardstock and covered it with Tim Holtz Tea Die Distress pad. I wanted it to look like wood lattice. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The ribbon has 3 tones of color, moss green, orange and a bit of yellow all blended together. It is just gorgeous. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I stamped the wheelbarrow and sentiment from the Flourishes </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.classycardsnsuch.com/Autumn_Blessings_from_Flourishes_p/fl-ss256.htm" target="_blank">Autumn Blessings </a>stamp set and colored it with my Copic markers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the final step, I used two different sizes of the Spellbinders Labels Three dies and die cut the stamped images from white cardstock. The layer below the images is a paper from Graphic 45 called <a href="http://www.classycardsnsuch.com/12_Days_of_Christmas_by_Graphic_45_p/g45-4500732.htm" target="_blank">Twelve Days of Christmas 6" x 6" paper pad</a>.</span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This year we put 3 tomato plants in one of the gardens around our back deck. We were about 2 weeks late in planting, but we put in a Beef Master, a Cherry tomato and a Beef Eater. The weather took it's time but 2 days ago we have gone from all green tomatoes and today many were ready to pick. I can't believe the size of the Beef Master tomatoes that we planted. The first 3 photos show the Beef Masters that I picked today. </span></span></i></div>

So we had that with our dinner tonight. I sliced it and put the slices on a large platter. Next I poured Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the slices, sprinkled on dry Good Seasons Italian Seasoning over the slices, then sprinkled Kraft Parmesan Cheese on the top. Cover the platter with plastic wrap and stick in the refrigerator until dinner was ready. Serve with dinner as stand alone or in a salad. Talk about delicious!</span></span></i></div>

It has been so busy the past two months in our household but things have slowed down for the summer. It's nice to be able to sit back and relax.<br />
<br />
I have been busy making flowers and cards and today I have one of my latest cards to show you. I fell in love with the Sizzix Susan Tierney-Cockburn "Susan's Garden" dies and the Pan Pastel Flower Coloring Kit. So far I have 13 of her sets and I still have 5 more that I would like to get.<br />
<br />
Today's project was submitted for the Cuttlebug-itis TOW Rectangles challenge. I used the Anna Griffin "Circular Grid" embossing folder, Spellbinders Labels 18 for the frame, and Sizzix Black-Eyed Susan die set and Pan Pastels for that touch of extra color on the frame and flower. Normally everyone thinks of the color yellow for this flower, but it also grows in pink. So I thought I would do it in pink and I just love how it turned out.<br />

<br />
I was going to add a greeting and bow to the front, but I didn't want anything to interfere with the look of the front of the card. If you could see this card for real, I bet you would be tempted to stop and smell the flower.<br />
<br />
I also have made other flowers from the Sizzix Susan's Garden die sets. I have Hibiscus, Tulips, large and small Lily's, Dogwood, Flowering Quince and Forsythia already made. My thought is to make a ton of flowers from these dies and make a floral swag to hang in my craft room. I'll have blooming flowers all year round!<br />
<br />

<br />
Spellbinders for blue frames<br />
<br />
Cricut Imagine Elise cartridge for floral paper in background behind blue frames. <br />
<br />
Cricut Southwest cartrdige for Vase. Slightly bent vase on sides to make it rounder to accomodate the flowers and attached with SU Dimensionals.<br />
<br />
Spellbinders Poppy Patch for the flowers. (I outlined the vase lightly with a pencil, attached adhesive inside the lines and stuck the flowers down).<br />
<br />
SU White paper - where greeting or message can be written<br />
<br />
core'dinations blue cardstock for base of card<br />
<br />
WeRMemoryKeepers Washi Tape in Yellow<br />
<br />
Blue metal flowers that are brads. I snapped the bottoms off and attached with rolled glue dots.<br />
