Creative Corner with Kaylyn

"QuicKutz Vinyl is great for making your own home decor. You can use your Silhouette, Revolution, Epic 6, or Squeeze to make your own custom looks. With the Silhouette, you can create images as large as 9 inches wide and 39 inches long. Creativity is endless!!

On Brayden's window, I have created a little outer space "layout". You really can scrapbook anywhere!! I cut the stars out using a 2x2 Squeeze die. The other shapes are cut out with my Silhouette.

I've also decorated my entrance area with vinyl. Both images are new releases for the Silhouette. A very sweet phrase to see after a long day :-)

A few months ago, I looked into buying vinyl art from a home decor store. It was going to cost me almost $30.00 for one phrase! Now I can create loads of them for less then $12.00 a roll. I am so happy that I can create my own vinyl art."

Summer Projects for the Kids

Looking for some creative ways to keep your kids entertained this summer? Here's a couple of ideas that we've come up with:

Pick up an American Crafts 6x6 mini album from Photo Express and sit them down with a handful of your own outdated scrapbooking stash, and get them to create an album of their favourite summer memories. 

They can create their own desktop organizer for their school supplies for next year! Pick up a Gabriel Desk Organizer at PE and put them to work using whatever papers and embellishments you're no longer attached to :-)

Have them decorate a Fawn Fancy Box to keep all their prize possessions in: stickers, lip glosses, jewelery, rock collection, stamps, etc. They can paint it, paper it, stamp it, sticker it, or whatever tickles their fancy!

And if you mention this blog post, we'll even give you 40% off (plus club) on these three items (while supplies last) :-)
