Spring flower cleaning...RAK ALERT!

I've been needing to sort my four large flower storage bins for quite some time. I often can't find what I'm looking for, or I think I still have something I already used up! Today was the day, I tackled a little scrappy stash spring cleaning. This is good news for me, and good news for you too. You see, I found so many flowers that didn't have a home, just tossed back into the bins by their lonely selves. I also found several packages with just a few flowers left in them. There were even some that I honestly don't like or have a use for anymore.

What am I going to do with these? RAK'em out of course! Have a look at all of this I no longer need:





That's a ton right! So much that I actually split it into three.. That's right I have THREE RAKs to hand out! Here they are separated into bags. Each bag has loose flowers and at least four packages that may be new or missing one or two:



Soooo, what do you have to do to have a chance at one of these flower RAKs? Just take a moment to leave me a comment. That is all! I'll randomly draw THREE names on FRIDAY, APRIL 15.. That might make tax day a little brighter right!

Coffee and alcohol ink distressing

Have any leftover coffee in the mornings? Even if it's a small amount, why not save it in a tupperware container? When you have accumulated enough to fill a platter, bowl, or pan you can use it to stain paper.

I just purchased a white die cut clock paper and I wanted to "antique" it a bit. I put it onto a plastic platter that was just the right size, and then poured coffee over it. I used copper, espresso, and caramel alcohol inks as well. Just squeeze a few drops onto the paper while swirling the coffee from side to side. Some of the ink drops will make direct contact with the paper and give a cool blotchy stain effect. When I finished this, I just loved the look. I wish I had photographed the die cut before distressing. Trust me, it was bright white! Here are a few pics of the process:








When this was dry, I HAD to use it right away! It was perfect for a photo of old and new friends made at a crop I attended over the weekend! The amazing charm clip on this page was made by one of my newest friends, Nancy. Thank you Nancy! ;)

An exciting new adventure!

I am so happy to announce that I am on the 2011 Epiphany Crafts design team!
