News

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have some very exciting news to share with you today!

I have been asked to join the Honey Bee Scraps team!!

I am super excited to join!

I absolutely love the Project Life Stamps she currently has to offer!

And let me tell you, she has some other awesome sets in the works!! ;)

Be sure to check out her current newly released stamp sets here!!

I LOVE all the sets, but am extremely drawn to the Oh, Snap! set!

Can't wait to get this set to start making some project life pages!  As well as some cards!

-----------------------

With the good news, I also have some sad news, my Grandpa, who I am really close with has been in the hospital all week.  He's been diagnosed with the C word! :(  He is taking it so hard, as well as the family.  I am going through a whirlwind of emotions.  I have been so lucky with life so far and have never lost a loved one, so I am taking this extremely hard.  There is nothing they can do about it.

So excuse me if I have some open spaces in my blog here and there over the next few weeks, as I am currently trying to spend as much time as possible with him.  I am hoping for a miracle.  But as of now, things do not look good.  

Thanks for letting me vent for a second.  Trying to stay strong.

Crafty Hugs!

Fav Technique with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, featuring two cards using one of my favorite techniques!

I featured the Painter's Tape Technique on the blog awhile back, and it is one I really enjoy doing!

It's a fun technique if you need to create a quick card and don't have time to color in an image.

I decided to us the Flower of the Month: Pansy set!

A nice image to allow the technique to show through the flowers!

So pretty, I love how it turned out!

The Happy Birthday is also part of the Flower of the Month: Pansy set!

I encourage you to try out this technique, it is super fun and easy!!

Close-up of the Pansies:

Isn't it fun?! I sure think so!

--------------

 Next up, I created a masculine card as well:

This time, for this card I used the Pirates set!!

This ship is more of a silhouette image, but the technique still gives and awesome look, in my opinion!

A fun masculine card!

Close-up of the ship:

 

Hope you have been inspired to try out this technique, if you haven't already!!

Anything But a Card

Well, as you may have read in other posts, I am really trying to catch up with my kids photo albums, so I have recently taken up Project Life!!

So I decided to use this challenge to create a "Project life" page for my little guy's album:

I love how it turned out!

 The On the Hunt Accents are perfect for this page!!

The Copper Kettle Enamel Powder was perfect to cover the buck!

I also LOVE the Big Bucks stamp set!!

The "tall grass" from the  Foliage #1 stamp set add the perfect touch to this card:

I used the Mossy Glen Enamel Powder to cover the "hunt" Piccolo.

My little guy just loved this page!

Happy Mother's Day Tag with GI

Happy Thursday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

This week we are featuring Mother's Day tags!!

Here is one I created with my special mom in mind:

I used the B150 Happy Mother's Day sentiment as my main focus on my tag!

I also added the K87 Flower Flourish on both the top and bottom of the turquoise cardstock!

Thought it was a nice added touch, with the pattern paper!
