What can I say?

So, I get a big fat F in the crafting department lately. I'm sitting here staring at all the projects I have started on my desk. Mr. Mojo is gone. I don't know where he went but I hope he returns soon! Maybe if I finish cleaning up in here, her will return? I'll have to give that a try! Have a great day and I hope to have something new to post soon.

Batter Ian

Fun! Fun! Fun! This one was fun to make! I cut the card out using my Pazzles cutter! The card base is cut from white cardstock and the stitching is cut from red cardstock and layered on. I love my Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive! The stamps are from The Greeting Farm. I colored using W1, C3, C5, R29, R59, Y38, E33, E37, B32, B24, R20, E00, and E11 Copics. I really need to remember to take a quick photo of the markers before I put them back in the case. It's much easier to post a picture of them than type them all. I'd better make my self a note or I'll forget again! Have a great day!

Good morning!


Someone has been very happy that the sun finally decided to shine! I'm sad to say that I ditched the cleaning efforts in the house and spent some time out in the sunshine. We finally have spring/summer like weather here in Minnesota. Only in Minnesota can you go from snow to rain to beautiful sunny weather in a week. Maybe after I get myself a nice tan I will go back and finish the cleaning in the scrappy room and post some pictures. Enjoy your day!

Good Morning!

Nothing crafty going on here today. I'm cleaning, organizing, and labeling! The OCD has kicked into hyper-drive! It's probably a good thing. I know there is a big scrap and stamp event going on down at the State Fair Grounds this weekend. It's best that I stay away. I really don't "need" anything else. Hope you have a great weekend! Hopefully I will have pictures of my scrappy area on Monday when it is all tidy!

Holy Cow!

Another cute one from Whipper Snapper! Colored with 100, C5, C3, W3, W1, Y38, and R20 Copics. A little Stickles on the wings and halo. I used the airbrush with Y11 to create the yellow glow around the image. My control with it leaves a little to be desired so I had to take the colorless blender and erase my over spray on the cow. It's all a learning lesson for me! The paper is from the Farm Fresh line by October Afternoon. Have a great day!

Mother's Day Card


This is the card I gave my Mom last year for Mother's Day. It had to cover 2 holidays since I was a bad daughter and didn't send her and Easter card. Shame on me! On the front of the card I used a stamp by Unity, Stampendous, and I'm not sure who made the "see the flowers smiling" one. I think I would have to do some digging to find it again. I haven't reorganized the stamps yet. I'm that is coming soon! The paper is by Basic Grey and I didn't have flowers in the colors I wanted so I Glimmer Misted them and added a gem in the center. The flowers from the stamp are colored with Smooch Inks.
The inside of the card are the Easter stamps I bought and intended on using for Mom's Easter card. They are the Hairy Bunny and Carrot by Judith. Colored with E50, E33, E35, E37, YG07, and YG63 Copics. I cut the carrots out and used pop dots behind them. Then sentiment is from a clear set by Stampendous. Have a great day!

Exciting News!

I won! WhipperSnapper wanted this card! I posted a few cards to their gallery just because I love their stamps so much. The stamp is called Heather. It is colored with E00, E11, R20, Y38, R32, R35, YG41, and W1 Copic Markers. The flowers are done with the Spica glitter pens and I added a little Glossy Accents to the heart on the cup. The paper is Material Girl from Cosmo Cricket and the ribbon is from my stash. It didn't take me long to spend the $10 gift certificate they sent me after they received my card in the mail. I can't wait for the new stamps to get here! Hopefully sometime later this week! Have a great day!

Creative?


I'm not feeling so creative yet, but the OCD has kicked into hyperdrive! I added another 84 shelves to my wall of paper and sorted and organized. I still have a few more stacks to go through. I did a little shopping last week with Megan. She had a few last minute things to pick up before she left and I tend to shop when I am down. Shame on me! New stamps! I hope to start inkng them soon! Have a great day!

I'm back!


I'm back! Things have been so busy around here the last few weeks. We put Megan on her airplane yesterday morning. She made it to Philadelphia yesterday to finish up paperwork and meet the 86 other people that are also going to Bulgaria. She is headed to New York today to fly out to Germany and then Bulgaria. It's an exciting time in her life! These are the party favors she made. Cute little calendars made out of coasters for each of the 27 months she will be gone. She put magnets on the back so we could hang them on the refrigerator! I am going to have to get my passport finished up so I can go and visit! Have a great day!

Busy, busy......

I'm sorry I haven't posted for a few days. Things around here are quite busy. Only 5 days left until we take Megan to the airport. Yesterday she and I finished up the party favors for her going away party on Saturday. I was in charge of the gift bags. I will share her craftiness after the gifts are opened! So much to do yet, and so little time to do it! Have a great day!

Simple Graduation Card


This one is for you Roxy! I didn't have one already made so I whipped one out for you, sorry these were the only graduation stickers I had in my stash today. Super easy and quick! I used this cool corner adorner punch by EK Success, you wouldn't have to, you could just layer your cardstock. I love this punch! It's super easy to use, costs around $10 when it's not on sale, and ads a little to the card. I punched out a circle out of a scrap of silver paper, layered it on a scrap of black punched with a scalloped punch, tucked a scrap of ribbon behind it and put the stickers on. I needed a card for my niece and her school colors are red and white so one more project down!
