We are excited about the Kimberbell Stabilzers!

Yes, we are.  Our Kimberbell delivery of stabilizers has arrived at the store. I am testing the Sticky Back Tear Awar Embroidery stabilizer currently in my embroidery projects and I am loving how easily it tears away after embroidery.  It is similar to Floriani Perfect Stick but there are a few differences.


The feature that I absolutely love is that they are color coded! In the picture above you can quickly recognize that these are all Tear Away stabilizers BUT they are all Medium in weight. How?  They are all wrapped with a red label.


This chart is is their simple, color-coded system and you can easily spot what you need just by looking at the packaging. The Ombre color gradient indicates light, medium, and heavy weights.


The pink label is for the light tear away products.  The red is for the medium weight products and the dark red is for all the heavy weight tear away stabilizers.
Isn't that easy?

In this picture, I can see at a quick glance that the stabilizers wrapped in lime green are all Specialty Sewing and Embroidery stabilizers. The lone blue label is the Wash Away Embroidery topping.


This new specialty product is their  Embroidery Topping which is ideal for placing  on dark colored fabric in which the light color stitches.  The dark fabric usually can be seen through the light stitches.


My second favorite feature/product is the Slap Bands labels for the stabilizers because let's face after you take the wrapper off, you have no idea what it is! It certainly does help to keep us all organzed.


If you are still confused and would like to know more, Kimberbell is having a Hoop La event this week from April 26th - 30th.


So be sure to follow them on their Facebook page, Instagram and their blog.  You can find the link to their blog here.

I hope to 'see' you at this virtual event.

Lake Life is a Winner!

  Sadly, the last Close to My Heart paper pack is done and ready for class on Saturday, July 20th.  Gather your vacation photos as this paper pack is perfect for any scenes with water. Lake Life #1 layout is all about a trip last fall to Mount Dora.  My son participated in a bike race, and they did some 'sightseeing' on the second day.  My grandson Luke's strange photos are from the 'vblog' post he was making.  Not sure if he ever posted it, though. Lake Life layout #2 features my niece and her family on an annual trip to Lake Chautauqua.   Even though it was an overcast day, it sure looked like Emmy had fun! Any day is a good day for eating pizza! Lake Life #3  is the last layout of the paper pack and are a few more pictures of my son's trip to Mount Dora.  They looked like they had a exciting weekend! The layouts are designed by Close to My Heart and include the directions to complete them.  No extra supplies or inks needed just the ...

Take to the Sky is a winner!

This paper pack was the featured one for my first scrapbooking get together in June.  Covid put an end to the monthly gathering, and we are so excited to be together again. This paper pack has a vintage feel with the airplanes, map and clouds design.  but the other side of the paper has a masculine design and colors great for both cards and layouts. The coordinating stamps and dies include phrases which are prefect for birthdays, Father's Day and traveling. The Industrial Trinkets add just the right accent to both layouts and cards My first share today is this layout I made which features the clouds, airplanes, tags and some twine. There are so many ways to use this design. How would you use it?

My share of artwork with this sunny paper is a layout of my son and daughter-in-law on a night out at a modern Mediterraneum restaurant. I began with inspiration from an idea in a Close to My Heart catalog and personalized it. I varied the sizes of the strips, such as 1 1/2" x 10" or 2" x 10", among others. I created a random pattern and then pops of color with 1/2" and 1/4" ...
