Gender Neutral Valentine's Day Card

          It’s finally here!  The first official posting to our brand new Etsy Shop – Cotton2Craft.  I’m doing this in partnership with my youngest daughter, Rebecca who curates vintage clothing for our “Cotton” side of our brand!  While I do the “Craft” side!  These should go up in the shop on New Year’s Eve – a big day all around since it’s my birthday as well!  No info about my age will be given out at this time!  But I am a grandmother so you guess!  LOL

         For the first cards for the Craft side of our shop, I wanted to put up a card that is gender neutral so I chose a stand-by for me – kraft and green which has a more woodsy feel to it while the Cherry Red ink from Gina K gives it that traditional color associated with Valentine’s Day – just  around the corner!  Here’s the enabler list!  Big shout out though to Gina K.  The Sketched Wreath Builder set was free with an order I placed during a sale earlier this month.  I love this stamp set!  So many possibilities!  

·       Stamp set(s):  Gina K – Sketched Wreath Builder SS, Love Is All You Need SS (inside); Concord & 9^th – Love Notes SS; PTI – New Every Morning SS (back)

·       Ink(s):  Gina K – Cherry Red, Jelly Bean Green, Fresh Asparagus;  PTI – Fresh Snow Pigment Ink

·       Paper:  Gina K – Kraft, Fresh Asparagus

·       Dies & Embossing folders:   Gina K – Double Stitched Small Circles Die; Spellbinders – Standard Circles Large

·       Embellishments/Other things of note:  Pretty Pink Posh - Sequins 

Be sure and stop by our Etsy Shop – Cotton2Craft, from time to time to check out our progress!  Rebecca has such a good eye for the real deals in Vintage Clothing.  So much so that I was her first customer!

Many Blessings,

Donna

Ink(lings) Artistry Relaunch

       Hey every body!  I'm still around and enjoying my 3 yo granddaughter who is the joy in joyful to her Nanny!  We've had a lot going on in our family in recent years - my gorgeous granddaughter being the good part of it - and the last year in particular has been just horrendous!  But I've a friend who is launching a brand spanking new website for cardmakers and papercrafters to purchase some of of their favorite stuff.  (Stay tuned for more updates on her store launch.)  If you're in the Triad area of NC, we've got some card classes coming up on August 25 & 26 where we will be rolling out her new on-line store!  I'll be doing some designing for her store.  I'm really excited about this opportunity for her and for me to get my mojo back!  It's always inspiring to see a friend follow her dream!  She's a good friend and talented lady herself so stay tuned.  I've got several posts getting ready to go up.  Keep checking back or sign up to receive notices of my new posts!  To tickle your craftiness, here's a quick pic of my creative mess from my craftroom!

Many Blessings to All
