Not a glamourous thing to do by any means but it's so exciting to see your work in places that aren't your own blog or that of the companies you design for that you must share!
A couple of months back I was honored (and elated) to be asked to work on a special project for Core'dinations. I love Core'dinations cardstock and am happy to design for such an awesome company and it's outstanding cardstock! In a weekend, I came up with three scrapbook layouts, a baby shower "ensemble", a home decor frame and a good number of cards. I think everything I created made it.
The baby shower ensemble can be found HERE

Following the link will take you to printable instructions as well as the official pics. I took a few pictures before sending the projects off but they aren't the greatest pictures, they weren't intended for bloggin purposes.

A simple yet elegant thank you card and it's instructions can be found HERE.

I have used this picture of Michael and I on our wedding day a number of times, it's my all time favorite picture of that wonderful day!! Instructions can be downloaded and printed HERE.

Core'dinations has created some fun new patterned papers that ought to be available at Jo-Ann's with the release of these projects. This layout features some of the orange and blues of those papers. They remind me of Heidi Grace patterns from way back when. But they are much thicker! You can link to detailed instructions HERE.

A simple yet really festive birthday card with dry embossing and The Twinery bakers twine! Instructions HERE.

A simple yet fun layout of Nikolas and Bailey the turtle at the Clearwater Aquarium using core of Core'dinations sanded and torn cardstock and coordinating tags. You can purchase ALL of these goodies at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores. Instructions HERE.

I was just blown away to have cards that I created used! Instructions for this one are HERE.

More of the new Core'dinations patterned paper for JAS with a heat embossed sentiment. And The Twinery baker's twine! Instructions HERE.

I just LOVE these cut files. Cut using Scattered Core'dinations in the distressed frame... Well!! They just bloom!! Swoon! Instructions HERE.
Later edit; I have changed the pictures from my phone pics to those found on the JoAnn's website for all the pictures except the Bloom frame. The one on the JoAnn site does not represent what I created, the colors are much more vibrant.
The official pictures, like I said earlier, are far better than what I am sharing here with you. These were all taken with my cell phone camera to send to Mindy and Ellen at Core'dinations so they could tweek as necessary and send the okay before I shipped everything off. The excitment of such a project in such a short time had me reeling and I didn't think to take "real" pictures! Be sure to visit the JoAnn's site and the links I attached for better pictures and the printable instructions. For obvious reasons, some of the exact supplies couldn't be listed as they are product JoAnn's doesn't sell but I can certainly (off the record) tell you what I used if you're interested.
Thanks for enduring my horn tooting! I hope you enjoy the projects and tutorials provided with JoAnn's and Core'dinations!
