Cynthia Keogh Thank you for the inspiration this week. Such fantastic projects. Our first day of school was nerve racking, my worrier son doesn’t want to change classes, teachers, toys, friends. He did well no tears.

Winners email ellen_sosnoski@coredinations.com with the subject line reading the contest you won, For Example: March Color Challenge Winner. Also include in the body of the email your name, address, AND phone number (only if out United States). We will send you a confirmation back that we received your email so you know your prize will be on it’s way soon! We ship prizes to our lucky winners twice a month (middle and end of the month) once we receive all prize winner’s information.

So how about a project? or Two?  Today’s Tuesday Tip  is from Debbie Standard…use those great Core Impressions designs for your back to school photos and projects. We have tons of designs that are great for back to school including  our Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions and Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions that have fun alphabet prints, ledger lines and more!

Happy Father’s Day Week!

This week we are celebrating Fathers and Family here on the blog!

We are kicking it off with two layouts from Debbie Standard. Debbie packs her layouts FULL of  amazing details so grab your coffee and be ready to get inspired!

For this first layout, Debbie sanded a sheet of My Mind’s Eye Core Impressions.  It looks beautiful with the bright blue embossed Core Essentials.  And check out the fun details from the 4×6″ mini My Mind’s Eye collection pack!  They go perfectly together. And of course those fun photos of the kids playing around  with their Dad. They just make you smile!

Next up, Debbie shares with us another layout about family. For this layout Debbie scored her Whitewash background . Such an easy and quick way to make your own background!

The flowers are stamped. All you need to do is turn your Core’dinations over and stamp on the backside for a nice, smooth finish.

AND…yes, there is more!  Debbie printed her clouds from her computer using a digital image directly on some Whitewash and the sanded.
