Thank you to all of my Jax Bean Stalks friends and followers for celebrating with Dana. Dana and I have known each other for about 3-4 years. We were on a design team together. We talk on the phone weekly and are more than just crafty friends. I can see us being friends for the rest of our lives. I am so excited for Dana and the amount of success she has achieved with her talents in cardmaking. Her videos are really exciting. I hope you take the time to check out more of her cards and YouTube videos. Wishing Dana more upcoming success in 2016. </div>

What was your New Year’s resolution? I am really not a person to make resolutions
because I feel like I would not follow through and then feel as though I let
myself down. I did however this year make
a goal to get my kitchen organized. <o:p></o:p></div>

I sometimes find that I do a lot of “stuffing” to get things
into cupboards. I also find I am using
the same spices over and over and would like them in one place. So, I started out by centralizing my go to
kitchen items. <a href="https://walnuthollowcrafts.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/diy-serving-tray-kitchen-organizer-a-pinch-of-this-and-a-dash-of-that/">Walnut Hollow</a> has made
organization easy. I created a kitchen décor
item that is functional. Using the
<a href="http://www.walnuthollow.com/store/items/serving-tray/3580/">Serving Tray</a> I organized my cutting boards, spices, olive oil and tea pot. Watch below as I transform Walnut Hollow’s
raw wood Serving Tray using a little paint and their Creative Versa Tool. <o:p></o:p></div>

I am able to quickly document the special moment from that day and move on. I plan on the weekends to be traditional pages along with special Christmas crafty elements added throughout the album. <br />
<br />
Here is my Day 2-<br />
<br />
This 1st picture of Elfie, Bean's Elf On The Shelf, will be printed out as 4x6 and will stand alone without a page protector. I might slip it into a 4x6 pocket and then hole punch it to add to the album. <br />

Here is today's Advent page. It is complete with a QR code. To add QR codes to your albums, simple upload your video to an UNLISTED YouTube account. Always add your videos as PRIVATE or UNLISTED. This way even a "search" could not bring up your video. I have a separate YouTube account just for my PL. I then use the URL in the <a href="http://www.goqr.me/">www.goqr.me</a> This site allows you to customize the color of your QR code. Then you can match it up to your LO. If you have questions, let me know. <u>The star over the QR code is for privacy. The star is not part of my LO.</u> </div>

This last LO was a bit of fun with the tree and Bean. I was just messing around with a couple of different camera app settings. Love the way all of these turned out! Can't wait to hit mid point at day 12 to send 1/2 of the December Daily pages to print! </div>

I cannot believe it is DECEMBER! I mean it is already the 2nd!! Where did this year go??<br />
<br />
Here is a little update of my happenings: I got the Christmas decorations up and glowing! 5 trees! Yes 5!! This happened all before Thanksgiving. On Monday, November 23rd my little Bean had surgery to take out his tonsils. WOW what a trooper. Ate on the day of surgery and continued trucking along. Never went downhill like the doctors predicted. On Monday he had an extreme swollen tongue. Tuesday he made it to school for a half day and again today he will do a half day. So proud of how well he did. I mean after a year of 11 boughs with strep, we (HE) was ready to be done with being sick.<br />
<br />
With December here I have started my December Daily Album. I have the covered designed with a strip of Really Reasonable Ribbon to add a pop of Christmas Red to a kraft and gold cover. I have used the <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7759">Canvas Color Band Ribbon in Red.</a> I am entering this into the<a href="http://reasonableribbon.blogspot.com/search/label/challenges"> Really Reasonable Ribbon's December Challenge: Silver or Gold with Ribbon or Trim!</a><br />

I am super excited to show you what I have been working on these past couple of weeks. Ok, it didn't take that long! It has been hard to keep my lips sealed on my creation. I am proud to say I have been working with Walnut Hollow. They have been established for over 40 years... that is a long time. I am very proud that Walnut Hollow has allowed me to show what I can do with one of their crafty Rustic Scallop signboards. <br />

I used the <a href="http://goo.gl/QspG0V">Travel Print Cotton Blend Ribbon</a>, <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7309&category_id=425">Bakers Twine Gold Metallic</a> and <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=6391">Hemp Cord</a>. I attached the bow to a long piece of raffia and then attached the swag to the Rustic Scallop Signboard.</div>

Hello to all my friends and followers. Welcome to the second post in my series. If you are just joining me, please click above and it will take you to my 1st post. Today I will be discussing the components of the actual app itself. I will break down the buttons and get in depth on adding pictures, lighting adjustment and changing background colors.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">*Tip: Don't go crazy buying up all the extremely cute collections. Sure you will think "oh, it's only $0.99!". Believe me, you can rack up a $20 bill from iTunes before you know it! </span> </blockquote>
We will start with the opening screen basics. I will break down the Template Selection/Starting a New Layout (teal button) in today's post. I will break down the other buttons as we get further into the series.<br />

This is what you will see when you 1st open the app. No, my arrows and labels will not be on your app. LOL! I will start with the teal button. This is where you will be able to start a new layout. In this button you have the ability to select what template layout you would like. *note: even if you drop pictures in one layout, you don't have to delete it to change to another layout. Just go back to the templates and choose a new template. The pictures will obviously shift but you can move them within the template. </div>

Your template choices are at the bottom. Notice the yellow highlight around the template at the bottom. The highlight is enlarge above the small thumbnails of templates. All templates in grey are the templates that come with the app OR the templates you have purchased within the app. You will notice templates that are not in "grey"are for purchase. To purchase, you just need to tap on the template "package" you like and ta-da, instantly you will have more template choices (for a fee!). Once again, <span style="color: #93c47d;">refer to the above "tip"....don't go hog wild buying templates!!!</span></div>

Here you are able to select the background color of your paper. I suggest you choose a colored background. I haven't printed out a white background layout yet, but I have heard that several people were not happy with the way their layouts looked. With that said, I have also heard from several that once they brightened their pictures (I will explain that below) they were very pleased with a white background. By clicking the button with the lines (upper left), This will take you to the collections of journal and filler cards. You can match your backgrounds to the cards you used by selecting the collection you used in your layout. Once you click the collection it will automatically bring you back to the template screen. Then you click on the color you wish to use as your background and voila you have a colored background that matches your journal and filler cards in your layout. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The button to the far right of your background selection colors (square with rounded corners) is your picture "corner selector". You press this button and it switches back and forth from rounded edge pictures and journaling cards to square edge. This button option is your own personal preference. Your entire layout will be either round or square corners, you cannot have a mix of both on one layout. I like the look of both. The album I used for this series has rounded corners. </div>

Once you have picked your template (just touching the layout will select it) for your layout, the fun begins. At this point you need to start adding pictures. You will want to add pictures depending on their orientation (horizontal or vertical). In the layout above you have the ability to add both. You also have the ability to add journaling and filler cards to any of these slots too! Make sure you pick pictures that are bright and clear. If you end up having a picture that is too dark, no worries there is an adjustment setting built right into each slot of the template (see picture below). The adjustment setting is the button in the upper left of the below left picture. When you click on it, you get the screen (right picture below) that says "brightness" at the bottom with a toggle. You can then adjust your picture using the different settings offered in this lighting adjustment setting. You will want your picture to be bright but not "foggy". </div>

Once you have added picture, you can fill in the empty spaces with journaling cards or filler cards. You will press the button next to the add picture button in each individual template space (see picture below). It is the button in the far right hand upper corner. This will take you to all the card collections you own within the app. Once you click on a collection, then you will be able to choose a journal card or a filler card. *I will break down journaling in my next series post. </div>

After adding your picture, adjusting lighting, adding journaling cards and filler cards, changing your background to match your journaling cards, you should come up with something fabulous. I like to match my filler cards with similar colors that are found in my pictures. I like everything to flow in a layout. One thing that I personally do not do is match my entire album. A lot of people like to do this but I personally find it boring. I like my pages bright and to stand out. After all, vacation is the highlight of my year!</div>

Hello everyone! I hope you all have been crafty. I have recently resigned from all of my design teams and pursued a project that has been hanging on me for years. Photos!!! My photos are out of control and in dire need of getting organized. Since my son was born I have had little time to scrap because I have always been promoting this company or that company. I am now ready to promote myself! I am ready to show you all how creative you can get with different digital apps and I will be throwing in some paper pages too. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pw8EvfD2kFA/VjOfwBp1CoI/AAAAAAAANHA/9Zcgi_bcAg0/s1600/Project%2BLife-Summer%2Bbreak-Florida%2B2015-Jenn%2BCochran2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pw8EvfD2kFA/VjOfwBp1CoI/AAAAAAAANHA/9Zcgi_bcAg0/s640/Project%2BLife-Summer%2Bbreak-Florida%2B2015-Jenn%2BCochran2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I will start by featuring our summer break and the Project Life App. Just to let you know, I was over the moon excited when I found the Project Life App. I was glad to see that it had already been out for a year to work out the *bugs*. On my iPhone ISO it was $0.99. You cannot go wrong for that amount. I will tell you that once I got started, I found myself easily spending $20+ on the different collections of cards for journaling and fillers. I myself do not use a whole lot of filler cards. But I do like to have different colors and options when I decide to throw one on the page.<br />
<br />
For my 1st album I was very "green". I had yet to discover the "other" apps (I will discuss those in future posts). For this 1st album I used the Project Life App for the entire album. I feel like the app is very self explanitory. Although there are fantastic tutorials out there. You might try <a href="http://lindsayrossblog.com/2015/09/how-to-use-the-project-life-app-video-tutorial/">Lindsay Ross's Blog</a>. She has a great beginners tutorial for the app. Plus she has excellent ideas for layouts. <br />
<br />
I was literally able to complete several "pages" for my Florida album in just one sitting. I sat by the pool and watched my son...ok I took breaks and swam with him-A LOT! But honestly, I was doing on average of 2-3 pages a day catching up (I had already been in Florida for more than 3 weeks when I discovered the app). I already had my journaling done in the <a href="http://dayoneapp.com/">Day One app</a>. I have used Day one for 3 years to journal our everyday happenings. This app allows you to journal and save by date. I don't get too fancy as you probably can in this app. I just use its basics and then I have my journaling for the day. I can easily go back and copy and paste it into the PL app.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nl-jLVSWhqw/VjOeW1RqXdI/AAAAAAAANGo/azAgpFTtQBc/s1600/Project%2BLife-Summer%2Bbreak-Florida%2B2015-Jenn%2BCochran1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nl-jLVSWhqw/VjOeW1RqXdI/AAAAAAAANGo/azAgpFTtQBc/s640/Project%2BLife-Summer%2Bbreak-Florida%2B2015-Jenn%2BCochran1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is literally my 1st digital page. I combined a couple of different collections and added my text. I was able to resize the font and make it fill the journaling card. I went in and used the picture tool to brighten my darker pictures. <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #93c47d;">*Tip: always adjust the lighting on your darker pictures. You will be pleased with the outcome and in general have a more eye catching page when you go to print. </span></blockquote>
<br />
I know a lot of my followers are paper crafters. I am wondering is Project Life a subject you want to see more of on my blog? Let me know in the comments below. I would love to help you all with the trials and errors of digital scrapping. <br />

Today is my last day posting for <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/">Really Reasonable Ribbon</a> for awhile. It has been so much fun being a part of this fabulous team. I just wanted to say Thank You to Bonnie for all the fabulous ribbon and especially for the friendship. I will be back in the new year and will look forward to posting for RRR again.<br />
<br />
Today I have a simple CAS card. I have used one of my favorite fall ribbons called <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7851&page=2&category_id=45" target="_blank">Plaid Ribbon Orange with Black Stitching.</a><br />

Today I have another super easy Christmas/Holiday themed card to share with you. I have gone with a bit of a more rustic feel with a twist of vintage Christmas paper and classic red ribbon from <a href="http://www.jaxbeanstalks.blogspot.com/">Really Reasonable Ribbon</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUh5-yAci3puGSDrfy0UsQmguzIrQZtsenFGM-oH1WViq7J0wAoJ5Thyphenhypheny7AkposWRC2wgEvfFQyEpc5BFoKk3SSF2wN_yJvNO-pEu0Ej5BqkzIAMA9OPhSqkisH9tnVXW34Xb_lk6IVlWd/s1600/RRR-Vintage-Christmas-Red-Kraft-Taffita-jenn+cochran.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUh5-yAci3puGSDrfy0UsQmguzIrQZtsenFGM-oH1WViq7J0wAoJ5Thyphenhypheny7AkposWRC2wgEvfFQyEpc5BFoKk3SSF2wN_yJvNO-pEu0Ej5BqkzIAMA9OPhSqkisH9tnVXW34Xb_lk6IVlWd/s640/RRR-Vintage-Christmas-Red-Kraft-Taffita-jenn+cochran.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I have taken a couple different layers of cardstock to create my layout. I have added a wrap of <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7909&page=g&category_id=523" target="_blank">Poppy Red Taffeta Ribbon</a> and then tied a double bow. I then made several loops with <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=6114&category_id=425" target="_blank">Bakers Twine-Christmas themed twine</a>. I took two paper mittens and strung them from the twine. I added this behind the red bow along with a flower filler in white.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I then added a fun Christmas sentiment on a round die cut circle. To complete my card I took a white chalkboard pen at added "snow dots" to the kraft cardstock around the mittens. To finish the vintage themed card I added a bit of iridescent snow to my sentiment.<br />

I cannot believe it is the last week of September. I guess I better get busy on the Halloween costumes.<br />
<br />
Today I have a super simple card using three different ribbons from <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/">Really Reasonable Ribbon.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikqRz_G9u55P3GoSvzy-ooxV452lpo4ifyu8gezUxjzS9sdeRcOvOa3K1YKlL1lL8Qwx4-k2n1-kHsrvxEATWOW-CxWdJTJR9cuyRT6GOE_Qzu0dVE6KGL8dTcwZ_1mFvCIdi0G36ulLct/s1600/RRR-Red-teal-white-butterfly-jenn+cochran.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikqRz_G9u55P3GoSvzy-ooxV452lpo4ifyu8gezUxjzS9sdeRcOvOa3K1YKlL1lL8Qwx4-k2n1-kHsrvxEATWOW-CxWdJTJR9cuyRT6GOE_Qzu0dVE6KGL8dTcwZ_1mFvCIdi0G36ulLct/s640/RRR-Red-teal-white-butterfly-jenn+cochran.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I die cut my butterfly, then I added two strips of <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/category.php?category_id=45" target="_blank">micro gingham plaid.</a> It comes in several different colors and can be found at the RRR site.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDfQyaKtyQjpiJ2qXX5KiSV5CL5Pafwpr-BRqW2BhbwvHgP8RSObNqwCQx9Y-LJyXnBJ_bZxwbuCyyvBYfiE11EjTVeOVd88qQvfnKC3irSp1L201L6vvlk8Nv_C2p-qhctJ_Dik07iXIH/s1600/RRR-Red-teal-white-butterfly-jenn+cochran3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDfQyaKtyQjpiJ2qXX5KiSV5CL5Pafwpr-BRqW2BhbwvHgP8RSObNqwCQx9Y-LJyXnBJ_bZxwbuCyyvBYfiE11EjTVeOVd88qQvfnKC3irSp1L201L6vvlk8Nv_C2p-qhctJ_Dik07iXIH/s640/RRR-Red-teal-white-butterfly-jenn+cochran3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I added a double bow made with <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=6871&page=2&category_id=424" target="_blank">Shimmer Satin in Aqua</a> and <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/category.php?category_id=425">red Bakers Twine.</a> I tied a bow with the bakers twine first then without taking it off the <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/category.php?category_id=603">Bow It All 2.0</a>, I tied a single loop bow with the shimmer satin. I brought the center all the way around the center of the bakers twine. This secured the two together. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioOFJXC-2jXWei05y4-DrlvrudJbeOSZkWryTj6hOr0AZo6yeY3868sChzgQWgi179__rv-hlfcm2eCZQXTX_gQ3dLMofUukLDxvzLFQ0xAOfdMKNZT96o3R9HvkPOmMtM6kLg_h3DLi5T/s1600/RRR-Red-teal-white-butterfly-jenn+cochran2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioOFJXC-2jXWei05y4-DrlvrudJbeOSZkWryTj6hOr0AZo6yeY3868sChzgQWgi179__rv-hlfcm2eCZQXTX_gQ3dLMofUukLDxvzLFQ0xAOfdMKNZT96o3R9HvkPOmMtM6kLg_h3DLi5T/s640/RRR-Red-teal-white-butterfly-jenn+cochran2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final touch to this card was adding back the butterfly on top of the patterned paper backing. I popped out the wings to give a 3D effect. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These fun ribbons were perfect to make a faux washi tape card. I added adhesive strips to the backs of each ribbon and stuck them to my card. They achieve the same fun look washi tape does. You can find all these fun ribbons in the September Ribbon Club or separately at <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/">Really Reasonable Ribbon</a>.</div>

The splatters were achieved by taking an alcohol marker and whipping it forward towards my card. A lot of times when you markers are full, the ink will come out easily.</div>

Let Your Voice Be Heard<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">I
look back on the last 5+ years I have been in the blogging/crafting world and I
can say “when I first started out, I did indeed sell my soul for product to
whatever crafting company would have me.” I worked my fingers to the bone
on projects that I didn't particularly like with products that were not at all
my style. As I continued on, I was picked up by crafting companies that I
really enjoyed working with and I did “like” their products, but I was slaving
away to keep up the schedule they demanded. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">A
little over a year and a half ago I was picked up by the "ultimate crafting
company" (in my eyes). I was excited and thrilled they wanted me. I couldn’t believe I was good enough for
them. But there was something off. It took me a year to see they really didn't
have any care for me what so ever. In fact, they were willing to use the
DT as a push off for themselves and would literally "harass" us into
advertising for them. At points we were verbally assaulted by their “so
called” social media person for not sharing their sale or featured items
immediately. It was truly sad. My
heart hurt and there was definitely a voice deep inside that told me to quit
but I didn’t listen. I liked their products so much and honestly I think
the owner was probably a nice person but (I am hopeful) totally clueless to how
we were all being treated. My final straw was when we were told the owner
wanted to gain a celebrity status among the crafting community. This was presented to the DT in a “we (you)
need to give her more exposure on your blogs and social media sites”. I stepped back and took a look at their
company blog, and realized that they were not even sharing our projects that
were demanded to be turned in "on time". They were not using
our names in Facebook post that included our projects, that's right the proper
credit was not even being afforded to us.
It was selective, so some DT members would have the honor of having
their name next to their projects, others were not. And they wanted us to share
more?? We were working like dogs to meet deadlines and for nothing...product???
I mean how much of one company’s products can you have? And to be
treated like a grunt laborer?? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">So
you ask, “Why did you stay?” Well, for one, the DT coordinator was
extremely nice. I would even go as far as calling her a friend. Two, I wanted to stay for the commitment I
agreed upon. Three (and the most important), I thought I would be
"nothing" without having a design team. I thought my followers would leave me and I
would not be able to have my creative voice heard. My heart truly hurt from the inner struggle
and I was having trouble deciding on the one thing I didn’t know would be the
best I could do for myself and my blog… being free of commitment!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">So,
after a year and a half, I had ENOUGH! I QUIT! I AM FINISHED!
And I DON'T CARE! Oh WOW, that was the greatest feeling to not be a
part of a team, not have an obligation. Now, this didn't mean I quit them
all. I stayed part of one team because the owner is involved, kind,
understanding and BEYON GENEROUS! She doesn't expect that we stop our
personal lives to be part of her company and I can truly say that her team</span>
is like a little family. She has shared
feeling about the crafting industry and is TRULY my friend regardless if I am
on her team or not. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">Believe this, I have not had any contact from the other team. So I can say that all of my speculation were
proven correct. They were in it for
themselves. They were selling their
souls to be bigger and better, but at what cost? It will catch up to them. You eventually miss your footing and
fall. Karma is always there
waiting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">My
beginning has just started. I am free
from underneath the thumb of the crafting industry. I am joining an elite group of others that
have figured out that being a part of any company that doesn’t allow you to
have a voice is not what craft blogging is about. This subject can expand into other industries
I am sure, but I personally only have the experience of being in this industry
and I want my voice heard. I want to be able to go on summer vacation
without having to work night and day to make up 20 plus projects that are due
during the time I am gone (and to have them never be seen by the public
eye). I want to be able to take 2 months
off from blogging without feeling guilty and worrying that I am going to lose
followers. In fact since I quit the “unnamed”
designed team, I have gained over 300 followers between all my crafty social
media sites. I think I will be fine….don’t
you? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">I
have to say a HUGE Thank you to Sally from <a href="http://sallylynnmacdonald.com/selling-your-soul-for-things/">sallylynnmacdonald.com</a>/. Her recent article Titled: “Selling Your Soul
for Things” was the trigger to me wanting to have my story heard. Please take a moment and stop by her amazing
blog and read her article. If you are in
the crafting industry, it might open your eyes.

Hello! I just love this time of year, don't you?? Especially since Halloween in just around the corner. You know that 2 months is going to FLY by!!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have made a card to get you into the spirit of Fall and Halloween. I pulled out Deloris (my Silhouette). I cut out two circles and attached them together with foam tape. I used a Sharpie and outlined the large circle and added legs. Super easy little spider. <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=6113&page=2" target="_blank">His "web" is Bakers Twine in Halloween</a>. </div>

I made the fun bow on the front of the card using 3 different Really Reasonable Ribbons and black lace. The base of my bow is <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7851&page=g&category_id=45" target="_blank">Plaid Ribbon in Orange with Black Stitching. </a> Then I added <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7824&page=2" target="_blank">Sheer Ribbon with 4 Thin Satin Stripes in Black.</a> Finally the last part of my bow is a t<a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=423" target="_blank">ripple loop of 3/8" Gingham Orange</a>. Once I tied my bow I added it on top of <a href="http://www.reasonableribbon.com/item.php?item_id=7857" target="_blank">Glady's Black Crochet Lace.</a> All of these fun ribbons are found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.</div>
