Hello there!
This poor blog is sadly neglected, but not forgotten. As I try to acclimate to running Winnie & Walter along with my friend and business partner, Julie Mogford, I have to prioritize. This means some things must slide including verdigris hall. My energies are going to Winnie & Walter and making sure w&w shines and that is a full time job on top of my other full time job. lol
I will try to figure out how to squeeze some time in for my personal blog!
I appreciate every single one who has spent even a minute at this blog and giving it your previous attention! If you are interested, you can see some of my attempts at creating on the w&w blog. :-)
Should you have any questions, suggestions and/or comments, you can email me at shay (at) winniewalter (dot) com.
Big hugs to you all!
Shay.

First of 2014
Happy New Year, my friends! I know I have been absent for a while now, but I really have a good excuse (at least I think so).
Over at Winnie & Walter we are hard at work. In December we released the *free* The Daily Grind Collection Vol. 1: Holiday Mint Add-On (which includes our first ever cut files!) and another Facebook freebie.
AND we've been working on this:

To find out more you will want to follow along on Winnie & Walter's blog. I am biased, but I don't think you will want to miss it if you have any love for stamps.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy and creative 2014!

Winnie & Walter: The Daily Grind Collection Vol. 1
Hello! Long time no blogging. I have a very good reason....
It's official! Winnie & Walter is live and we have a collection on sale, newsletter freebie + coupon, Facebook Freebie and also a giveaway of the entire collection on the Winnie & Walter blog. Don't miss out if you love digital or hybrid crafting!
I love how versatile our The Daily Grind Collection Vol. 1 is...believe it or not we designed it to be that way! For the little moments or those special occasions, this collection has it all. Plus it works with what you already have at home or on your computer!
I made a few items with The Daily Grind Collection Vol. 1 including my first digital layout!
Next I really wanted to pair our new collection with Christmas products. I chose to pick out the wood grain frame to work with the Magical 6x6 paper pad and the cool Peppermint stamp designed by Kal Barteski.
Finally I went with the ombre chevron (really love!) as a base for stamps from Studio Calico.
This is just a sampling of what can be done!
Make sure to check out the giveaway and like us on Facebook for your freebie!
Happy creating,
Shay.

I made a few items with The Daily Grind Collection Vol. 1 including my first digital layout!
I had a lot of fun along with some tearing of the eyes (Lordy, those puppy paws get me every time!)playing with the elements, journaling cards, wood grain icons and even a little of the papers to create this layout.
After the digital layout I went back to making cards. I really wanted to make some cards using some of the awesome stamps I have been receiving from Studio Calico in kits and otherwise.
For the first card I was inspired by one of Julie Campbell's cards she made for Two Peas in a Bucket using a pocket by Studio Calico.
Using the Cuppa card kit I chose a pretty soft apricot to pair with the deep wood grain, vanilla and pewter grey.
Next I really wanted to pair our new collection with Christmas products. I chose to pick out the wood grain frame to work with the Magical 6x6 paper pad and the cool Peppermint stamp designed by Kal Barteski.
Finally I went with the ombre chevron (really love!) as a base for stamps from Studio Calico.

Like us on Facebook to receive the Live Laugh Love printable for FREE (personal use only)!
Tip: If you wish to adjust the colors of the printables I recommend using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. In Photoshop Elements under Enhance pick Adjust Color and then Adjust Hue/Saturation. You can use the bars to adjust the hue, saturation and lightness as you desire. For more information you can check out this simple tutorial: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/cg_display.asp?g=4&seed_id=22398
What to see what I created with the Live Laugh Love printable? Here are few cards for your viewing pleasure:
Card No. 1
Today is actually my grandfather's 90th birthday. For the occasion I made this card to celebrate such a momentous occasion. I used the dot journaling card and today banner from the Live Laugh Love printable with the Spencer's Card Kit, grey polka dot journaling card from the Clementine Core Kit and a 4x6 woodgrain journaling card by Studio Calico along with number dies from Papertrey Ink. I pulled out the sewing machine and went to town. The last element was a tin pin from October Afternoon.
Card No. 2
This card features the burst journaling card from Live Laugh Love. It is a mix of things from Studio Calico (like the tag from Spencer's Card Kit and the journaling card under the burst journaling card) along with patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad from the brand new Finnley collection by Glitz Design. I found this collection really fun to play with along with the printables. I also used the happy die from Papertrey Ink which I cut from the Soho Garden 6x6 paper pad.
Card No. 3
This card highlights the hello circle which I cut from the burst journaling card of the Live Laugh Love printable from Card No. 2 (I oh so cleverly covered up that section so you can't tell there is a hole where the hello circle should be). I added it to a geotag journaling card from Studio Calico and a fun and funky piece of patterned paper from the Soho Garden 6x6 paper pad. I notched the panel with a circle punch and added some ever useful black and white twine.
Card No. 4
The notebook journaling card was the beginning piece of this card (I punched a hole through each of the navy circles and cut along the lines to give the notebook edge a bit more interest) which I built upon using other bits from the Live Laugh Love printable along with a journaling card from Studio Calico I cut up into arrows. I added a sticker from Dear Lizzy's Lucky Charm Accent & Phrase Sticker onto the tag along with a tag from Anna Griffin under the laugh printable. The patterned paper is again from the Finnley 6x6 paper pad. The last touch were wood veneer hearts by Studio Calico.
Card No. 5
I tried to put quite a few of the elements from the Live Laugh Love printable on this one. The only elements not from the printable are the grey label from Anna Griffin, doily and the ombre patterned paper also from the Finnley 6x6 paper pad.
There you have my offerings to inspire you with the new and free Live Laugh Love printable. Make sure to download it and head on over to Julie's blog to see what she has done with the Live Laugh Love printable.
We would be over the moon to see how you used them so feel free to comment with a link!
Happy creating,
Shay.
