Cloud9 Square Book Box














Yesterday I was trying to figure out how to put my name over my pictures like the talented Jennifer McGuire does. Well, I used one of my programs and somehow added it to ALL of my saved pictures!!!! HUNDREDS!! I was not a happy person. Two hours later ( I know you've been there) I FINALLY figured out how to get it OFF of all the pictures!!! GEEZ! Computers are wonderful, are they not???

So today, after I'd slept, I tried a different program with success. Don't think I'll do that again, but you never know! I am capable of so many wonderful things with this little machine!!!!! Hold me back!

Here's the white square book box from Cloud9 and some more of the stickers, rub ons and papers. They really go together so easily. The picture does not do the glitter justice. It's really so much more sparkly...is that a word?

Take care of each other!

Another Piece of Metal


Here is one more little peak at what Dark Chocolate metal from Ten Seconds Studio can do for you!!!! This cover and back of a Bind-It-All book also shows what the steel brush does to accent the embossing. The cover is a single mold and the back uses 3 in different strips.

Hi, everyone!

Just got the newsletter from Cloth Paper Scissors Embellishments. This was supposed to run in September, but Cate sent an email today and said they decided to run it this week. Surprise!!! Thanks, Cate!

Made my day!


"Linda takes pre-bound or handmade journals and uses layers of background stamps and Distress™ inks to create depth.
She hand paints chipboard shapes and applies pictures of children, brass elements (Linda uses Vintaj® jewelry findings, but you could also use found objects), or both.
Then she glues the embellished pieces onto the covers. Finally, Linda trims out the books with cording, ribbons, brads, beads, jewels, charms, and her signature pen marks.
If you're inspired by Trudi and Linda's ideas for decorative journals, make some of your own with inexpensive composition books, and products from our online store like Distress inks, Grungeboard shapes, and our Back-to-School Bargains (see below)."
