The Poets Garden Collection by Susan Tierney Cockburn  is a new flower collection that makes three gorgeous flowers that can be used on cards or other paper crafting projects. The first I’ll be sharing today is the Clematis Poet.  This die set includes 7 cutting dies and makes a beautiful 3-dimensional flower.   This is the first of these collection of dies that I’ve tried so I went into this without the appropriate tools and shaping forms but with the help of the video on how to color and assemble these flowers, I was able to use items from my desk to make this card using these beautiful flowers.

I’m pretty sure that after the last time I signed up to sell products as an “independent consultant” I said I would never sign up to do such a thing again.  It wasn’t a bad experience necessarily, but worrying about meeting minimums and me being a horrible face-to-face sales person just didn’t match up. In fact, until the actual day I signed up, I hadn’t truly considered becoming a CM Advisor.  But I was at a crop, hosted by my wonderful, lovely friend (and CM advisor) Ann, and she gave a brief spiel about what you might think about if you were considering being a CM Advisor.

I’ve been working on some new files for the Shellie Marie cut file shop and I’m excited to finally start adding them to the store! If you do as much travel scrapping as I do, then this is a file that’s bound to come in handy. This Are We There Yet? Cut file can be used for road trips, long travel days, international travel or even trips that weren’t even that long - they just felt like it. Customize your suitcase to match your layout or photos.  Resize for just the right fit, or if you’d like, print and cut the file and skip assembling it all together!

Today I'm using the Delicate Snowflakes Etched Dies and the Pierced Mini Labels Etched Dies on my projects. This Delicate Snowflake die set makes four layered snowflakes and includes leaves and florals that can be layered on top of the individual snowflakes. I made two cards using this set. Though I like them both quite a bit, the first is my favorite because of the sparkle!
