Still in love after all these years!

With my husband AND my wedding dress! This is a sepia picture I used stickles to colorize...you should see it in person - it turned out better than I expected.

Do you have ideas for using Stickles? post them here and be entered for a chance to win a RAK from 1 Creative Bug!

Cheesey Pre- Printed Paper

I am not usually a fan of what I call Cheesey pre- printed paper... it's too cutsie and limiting in my opinion... however when I saw this paper I knew I could make it work with y favorite products Stickles and Custom Buzz Words!

I created the title with shadowed Buzz Words that mimic the "cookie" look of the pre- printed paper. Then I used stickles to "ice" the cookies. I stickled all over the paper's cookies to make them come alive and I even used some ribbon to give Mr. Snowman a proper scarf.

Here are the individual pages so you can see them in better detail:

Do you need a special title - no problem... give me a buzz and I'll email your our Buzz Word Flyer with fonts, colors and pricing! Custom Buzz words are more affordable than you think!

Easy Stickles Title

I just love Stickles! Last night I had the pleasure of teaching a class on using Stickles to local group. One of the many ideas I shared with them is how to create an easy "handlettered" title. I want to share the idea with all of you:

1. Choose a font and use your word processing program to print it out "Title Sized".

2. Lay the printed paper over your paper where you want the title. Trace over the title with a pencil. You need to push hard, but be careful not to tear your paper. The pencil will leave an indentation in your cardstock.

3. Use the dents as a guideline and trace over them with Stickles.

4. Allow for plenty of dry time - and wa la! A beautiful "hand" lettered Stickled Title!

Here is a look at the 2 page layout... This is my mom making a Irish Soda Bread with my girls. The recipe comes from her mother and is a Christmas Tradition for us! I am lucky enough to have a copy of the recipe written by my Nanna - so I inculded that on my page as a momento.
