Upsy Daisy Laptop

While you were out shopping yesterday did you pick up a laptop? It is usually one of the hot items that is on sale every year. Well, if you happened to pick up a laptop and would like to add a little extra personalization to it either before you give it as a gift or use it for yourself, why not add a Definitely Decorative Design. This is my daughter's laptop that she received for her birthday a few months ago and while the blue is pretty and suits her the Upsy Daisies in white really add that extra flair that makes it her computer. You can also buy raw vinyl and cut out a name or first initial. There are so many choices to add to your laptop to make it your own. The Upsy Daisies comes in Dark Gray, Rose Red, Pretty In Pink, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and of course White. Give me a call if you would like to see the complete line of Definitely Decorative items or if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day, Tonya

Just a Little Bling!

Good afternoon, today's project is a pretty quick one but I really wanted to add a little personality to my Laptop. I just recently got it back and plan on using it for my Stampin'Up! business more. Well, I couldn't just leave it a boring gray back. That just wouldn't be right at least not for me. So I got out my Big Shot (113439), White Decor Elements Sheets (114335),

Stampin'Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die (114507), Rhinestone Ice Circle Brads (109111) and Crystal Effects (101055) and went to work decorating my laptop. I started out by cutting out several butterflies from the White Decor Elements Sheets and just randomly placed them on the laptop. This is so quick and easy. I would recommend cleaning the surface before you apply the Decor Elements so that they adhere well. I then took apart one of each of the lilac Rhinestone Brads so that I could just use the stone. I adhered them to the butterfly with a little Crystal Effects and this project is done. No more boring laptop for me and the best thing is that they come off if I ever decide I need to change the look. No permanent lasting effect on the laptop at all. Now if you don't have a Big Shot or the dies you can just as easily purchase one of our premade Definitely Decorative items. We have two that are designed to embellish laptops. Upsy Daisies which comes in eight colors and Adornment which also comes in eight colors. If you would like to see our complete line of Definitely Decorative items that is a link on the left side of the screen. This would be a great way to personalize that new laptop that you or someone you love just received for Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are having a great day, Tonya

Holiday Decor

Good Morning, with yesterday's snow I am in the mood to start decorating for Christmas and while I haven't started yet with the main house I have started putting some Christmas items out in the Classroom area. So today I am going to share a super quick and easy project with you that will add extra holiday spirit to your home or workspace. I started with an frame I had setting around my house any 5"x7"frame of your choice will do. I added a piece of Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper (116770) to act as a matte and fit inside the frame. Before I added it in the frame I cut a Big shot Top Note (113463) from Soft Suede Card Stock (115318) and added it to the center of the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper. Then the last step is to add the Jingle All the Way (117507) to the center of the glass. I used the smallest size which measures 3" x 3 5/8" in Real Red that only cost $3.50. If you haven't tried out Definitely Decorative line then this is a great way to start. They are so much fun to use and so easy too! I may still add a bow at the top but for now I will leave it as is. This would make a great gift for a friend or loved one. If you would like more information about our Definitely Decorative items please give me a call or drop me an email. I would be happy to show you other items that I and my customers have done.

Also if you are interested in either of my Christmas Stamp A Stacks the first one will be this Friday at 6:30 at my house. You will make 12 cards for $20. I have four card designed and you make 3 of each. Hope to see you there. Have a great day, Tonya

Halloween Decor

Happy Monday morning to everyone! The weather is starting to feel more fall like which has made me want to get out my Halloween Decorations. So today's post focuses on Home Decor for the holiday's. All of these projects are simple and quick to make. The first project is a candy jar that I made last year and simply changed out the ribbon to a current color and set back out. The jar I found at a local retail store and after cleaning it well with a window cleaner I applied the large Spooky Spider Definitely Decorative (114763). This spider comes in three sizes and the large size is $14.95 in price. The ribbon around the top is Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (115616). You could also add the spider to a door, picture frame, wall or window. Just to name a few. This jar sets on our kitchen counter and I fill it with popcorn balls that my kids love to snack on.

The next two projects are just a simple. I used the Spooky Expressions Definitely Decorative (117568) which is a set of three jack-o-lantern faces for just $4.95 and added two of them to foam pumpkins. You can of course use real pumpkins but by using foam ones I can put them away and use them again for years to come. I do recommend cutting the individual parts of the face a part and adding the mouth and work your way up. Since the pumpkins are round and not smooth this help you to get the face to conform to the pumpkin at little easier and remember to rub the edges good.
So there you have two easy projects to decorate you home with for years to come. If you would like to see more of our Definitely Decorative line the catalog is available to view just click on the link to the left. You can order any of the Definitely Decorative items online or by contacting me. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya
