I Do Not Own a Cricut...

that being said I do sometimes get inspired by some of the cuts I see on other blogs, like a really cute lamp I saw on Marys blog at Cardztv http://cardztv.blogspot.com/ and new I just had to make something similar, Mary used Country life and I made a file on my Pazzles inspiration that looked close and this is the card I made with that file...

Wedding Bouquets

New Stampin up in colors & seam binding

Ok I have been dyeing seam binding for a while now using my homemade glimmer mist and although its beautiful the color never seems to get dark enough for me.
But now thanks to Christina at http://www.creationswithchristina.com/ who did a video on how to do it with stampin up reinkers the color is awesome so deep and rich and makes me very happy.
