Dee's Paper Tree

New Local (Ontario, Canada) Forum!

2012-01-27T06:48:00.000-08:00

Hey All...

So Regs and I have launched a new forum called Get Craftin'! It is not limited to scrapbooking or paper crafts so everyone!

Get Craftin' Forum

It looks a little boring right now cause I need a banner, etc.

But this is where we will be hosting product shares, swaps, talking about products we love and selling stuff we no longer need. lol

AND... we want you all to come do it too.

- You can start up a product share or host a swap.

- Advertise a charity crop or a crafty yard sale.

- Brag about a great deal.

- Recommend a class you took.

- Sell stuff you don't want anymore.

- Issue a challenge.

We are hoping to get a lot of locals to Ontario to join so spread the word.

We would love to see you there.

Also, I need a blog banner anyone know how to create one? I will give a little goodie bag to the person who can make me one or help me!

Thx Dee :)

Loonie Stampers Challenge - Stripes!

2012-01-27T04:17:00.000-08:00

Maria has asked us to use stripes and I am borderline cheating...

On the upside, I went to Crop & Create in Markham on Jan 13th with Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine (which is where I made this card). I submitted this card to one of their challenges and I won! Such great feedback from some amazing ladies who I think are so talented!

Here's hoping for another crafty year!

Happy New Year All!

2012-01-01T08:44:00.000-08:00

Hello All and Happy New Year!

We had a fantastic evening last night with some good friends, food, drinks and games! My throat is raw and my stomach is sore from laughing... it is a good kinda pain!

Well last year was pretty crazy for our family... frankly I can't believe it is over actually. It seemed like it would never end. It was definitely a year of anticipation mixed with fear and excitement!

We just had our daughter and she was a challenging newborn. The women that took care of my Jackson for 5 years was moving away. We moved from our house of 10 years (our first home and the home we brought both our children home too) only to a street away but still very emotional!

Jackson started school full time, Abby began her new daycare and I went back to work knowing there would be no more maternity leaves in my future!

Thinking about 2012 as we settle into our new home, I have decided to choose a word for this year... Pause.

I want to remember to pause before each decision and make sure that what I am saying yes too is purposeful... for me, and my family.

Here's to a great year! :)

Dee

Loonie Stampers Challenge - Congrats!

2SF's Friendzy Friday!

2011-10-29T04:44:00.000-07:00

The last FF of October... I probably should have done Halloween but my mind is so on Christmas as I ramp up for the move and think about decorating our new home!

I have looked for little glassine bags everywhere and they are hard to find, so I made some!

I made this little treat bag for Jackson... it is safe to spill on the ground cause it is just trail mix! :)

I used these supplies... parchment paper, glue stick, ribbon, stamps, ink, pattern paper.

I measured out an 8: x 9" piece of parchment.
Fold into an 8" x 6" piece by folding in 3"
Then fold the other side in 2" to make an 8" x 4" rectangle.
Pink both ends with pinking sheers.

Next you need to glue the 2 flaps together.
Fold up the bottom and glue down.
Then I stamped the front with a few flakes.
Folded down the top and punched two holes for ribbon.

Then I made a cute little tag...

Filled it up with trail mix and tied it up with ribbon!

I think he will love it!

Loonie Stampers Challenge - Mini!

2011-10-28T04:38:00.000-07:00

Seam Binding Swap! (locals)

2011-10-06T04:55:00.000-07:00

This post is for my local crafty ladies!

Regan and I picked up some amazing seam binding in the states. It is not crinkly and already dyed by the manufacturer. The colors are amazing, I used the light blue on my card on my blog today!

We want more!

So I found a supplier …

We were thinking 7 colors – Chocolate Brown, Cream, Grey, Moss Green, Teal, Melon, Nice Pink (haven’t picked the pink yet).

Here is a link to a set on etsy so you can see what we are talking about!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/78595219/vintage-seam-binding-ribbon-original-hug

If we get 20 signed up… You would get 5 yards of each color (total 35 yards) for apx $5.

Let me know if you want in!

I am going to pop this on my Facebook and emailing it out so let me know asap!

2 SF's Friendzy Friday!!

2011-09-24T05:13:00.000-07:00

I decided to do a little tutorial on how I make a little envie for those weird sized cards.

Here I am making an envelope to fit a 3x3 card!

So I cut a piece of 3 1/2" x 7" thin cardstock.

I score it at 1/4" on both sides.

The at 2 1/2" and 5 1/2".

I like to put a little x on the section I need to cut away.

Then I cut them away! :)

Next just to make it look a little cleaner, I rounded the corners.

Then just fold up the side flaps.

I like to put the glue on the bottom flap cause if you put it on the side flaps you could go too high with it!

And you are done!

2SF's Friendzy Friday!

2011-07-15T05:43:00.000-07:00

Well I have a cute little project today for your cricut!

So get out your cricut, a cartridge (I used Bump in the Night), some embroidery floss and your crop-a-dile!

Choose a front image (I choose this cute little monster because of the straight side).

First cut 2 of the base of your image out of the same color (I used brown).
The cut out your accesories out of corrdinating colors (I used orange and brown).

Next cut the base image again out of a light white cardstock (I cut it nine times).

Clean up all your image edges and assemble your front image (the basic grey filing set is perfect for this).
Next stack colored base image, then all your base images in white and your completed front image on top.

The crop-a-dile two holes in the side.

Tie some embroidery floss through the holes.

And whabam a mini note pad... great for party favors, teacher gifts, etc!

Cute huh! If you try this, I would love to see them!
