Made in the USA





I did this sample for Paper Tales. I used 8 (4 male, 4 female) of the chipboard Maya Road people. I used the Maya Road alphabet that I covered with some vintage glass glitter. I used Websters Pages "Sweet as Cherry Pie" paper. The ribbon and embellies are stuff I gathered from the store.

It was fun to make and I cheated on the painting part.... I took the chipboard outside and spray painted both sides with yellow spray paint. Super easy and it turned out awesome!

Paper Tales...

Oh my word, it has been along time! So many things going on in my life, my blog seems to be the one getting ignored.

It's time again for us to move. We are on our way to Dahlgren, Virginia. I'm not wanting to move away from San Diego but I know the Military pays the bills, so off we go!

I will miss my local Scrapbook Store the most! Paper Tales is located in Point Loma and is a scrapbook store like no other, when you walk in... I think it actually lowers your stress levels. I have found myself wondering around just enjoying the decor. It's not one of those dungeon feeling stores that are SOOO jammed packed full stuff that you can't hardly see what's around you. At Paper Tales, Michelle {the owner} does a fabulous job at making the store feel open and welcoming, plus they have this really comfy couch you can sit down and enjoy the company of others. She has a staff that is completely amazing, and wide variety of awesome teachers that teach just about any craft out there.

If you haven't visited Paper Tales, do so, you won't regret it! But I must warn you, once you visit Paper Tales... all the other Scrapbook Stores in San Diego county won't measure up!

I hope to continue to keep my blog updates.... I really do love to blog!

TTFN,
Cindy
