This month on the Memory Makers blog they are offering a free project from my book “Delight In The Details“. It is my “Crepe Paper Rosette” tutorial.

As you all know I LOVE creating crepe paper rosettes. I create them in many different sizes, love to use decorative scissors to create unique edges as well as accent the edges using Stickles. This tutorial will show you step by step how I make mine as well as show you a few examples of them used in projects.

Crepe Paper Rosettes are wonderful accents for cards, tags, layouts, home decor projects etc. Anyplace you want to add a flower in my opinion is the perfect spot for a crepe paper rosette.

You will also notice products in the projects shown from a few of my many wonderful sponsors… Clearsnap, Cornish Heritage Farms, Fiskars, Jenni Bowlin, Maya Road, Melissa Frances, Pink Persimmon and Ranger.

And for those of you that ordered a signed copy of my book, this weekend I will be signing and packaging them to mail  Monday. The response I have had with book purchases as well as the kindest comments and emails has been so overwhelming. Thank you all so much.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

And finally I get to show her off. I now know how an elephant feels being pregnant for two years… poor things. Two years is a very long time when you are waiting for something awesome. So here is the front and back covers (still cannot believe these photos were taken on my table) and sneak peeks of a few of the 100 projects inside.

Front Cover

Back Cover

Inside you will find wall hangings and banners of all sizes

Layouts and Tags (notice my friend Wendy Vecchi’s Butterfly Stamp and the gorgeous Jenni Bowlin papers)

One of my favorite layouts (love Maya Road Chipboard)

You will also find lots of cards (notice another one of Wendy’s stamps, that leaf is so fun to work with)

Several different sized mini albums (Maya Road binder albums are the best)

Tomorrow I will give you a run down of all the great products I saw at CHA. It took me several days to recuperate from this show… lots of emotion and excitement.

I am so happy to finally be able to show you the cover of my book. This has been the most incredible creative journey I have ever taken and one that I hope I get to do again. As you can see “Delight In The Details” is a technique based book. Inside there are 40+ techniques and 100 projects all created by me to inspire you in so many different ways. You will find, cards, tags, layouts, mini albums, banners, wall hangings and of course a few home decor pieces. All the projects have my signature vintage flare and I would say it is safe to say it certainly has something for everyone.

So there you have it. My baby in all her glory. It is so wonderful to finally be able to share this with all of you. I have had so much encouragement from all my blog readers. I tell ya you all are very patient because some of you have been with me from the very beginning of this process… nearly 2 years and I thank you.

This book is available now for pre-order at Amazon.com. You also have the option to pre-order an autographed copy of my book here on my site!

Oh and so it doesn’t throw you off a bit the image shown on Amazon was the first cover design. The one shown here on my blog is the final version and I love it!

Have a safe and happy trick-or-treat!
