Hello Sandrine! I buy them from Staples-an office supply store. And I also buy the white ones from JoAnn's! Did you also ask me about butterflies??

Hey Cloud...I am so all over the place with stuff! Inks vary from Stazon-love the white & pink for stamping on transparencies...black too. Colored inks can be some of Jenni Bowlin's new ink line, Stampin Up inks, Tim Holtz, and a few others. The stamps I have been using on the tags are 7gypsies & Tim Holtz. And a few Jenni Bowlin & Martha Stewart.

Keish, I've just stumbled upon your blog and I'm so happy that I did. It's full of beautiful things. I especially love the look of layered kraft cardstock punched paper over kraft. Gorgeous! I also loved the pictures of your daughter's closet and bedroom. I'll be redoing my girls' room soon so I feel inspired by you. I'm curious about the photoshop actions you used on those pictures. I'd purchase them in a heartbeat. Thanks!

Hi ladies, Lately I have been using actions from My Four Hens-but I am not sure if she is still selling the actions that I have. I LOVE her Curly Joe action most of all!!!

No, Heaven!!! Target last year...I stalked them until they went on clearance!

 

the kitchen's {slow} progress

 

I snapped a few photos of the kitchen Friday since the sunlight was spilling in! We still have a bit to do-like getting glass for the two cabinets over the stove. Add molding & medallions...some other odd ends. I do love it a lot more now.

i guess i needed a (spring)break...

Spring makes me want to play with the flowers. Sit on the porch. Drink something refreshing. Take some pretty pictures. Buy some school photos, argh. Make some fresh lemonade. Drive a new car. Scrap a little, maybe.

Ok, so I have to DELURK for a minute to tell you: I almost BROKE MY NECK running to Home Depot to get those urns!!! Don't worry: no kids were harmed in my pursuit of these yummies!!!! I have been looking for larger ones and never thought to check there (DUH!!!) I checked online first to see if they were available. Just a LITTLE sad that they were $14.99 each instead of $8.99 but I'm still lovin' them!!! How tall are yours? These are about 13"

On the post: around the house... Blog: A Bit East-coast

Keandra...LOL, I wanted that one tooooooo! So here is a photo I snapped last weekend while me & LaVaughn were in HD for the umpteenth time with both urns-which are now in my home!! Sad thing is I need a few more for the two orchids I just bought from Ikea that weekend. I am sure you did something fabulous with yours.

Love the album Keisha, simply stunning! Your blog loads slow for me too sometimes too.. I just wait it out lol :)

On the post: album questions... Blog: A Bit East-coast

Laura & Heaven...sorry you are having trouble with the blog loading. I find it to be slow on one of my pc's-I just thought it was my old computer. I'll try to get rid of some of the ads to see if that might help. I really have no idea why it loads slow-I have not done anything but change the theme(look of the blog)-through typepad. Sorry

Hi Keisha, I know this is kind of old but the pictures that you posted for 2/7/11, I was wondering how did you make the kisses tag? Thanks.

On the post: jbs Mercantile March kit... Blog: A Bit East-coast

OK, Doris...

This is a super simple card-using MM's pre-made card

1. I cut half the tag off and taped it to the back of the rose diecut label.

2. Using pop-dots I added the gold foil kiss to the top of the rose diecut.

3. Then I taped those three things to that card.

4. I punched a few flowers and randomly glued them to the card.

5. Then add the rhinestones & done!
