American Crafts Baby Album

Greetings! My last post featured a set of mini gift cards I made for my friend Jenny who had a baby a couple of weeks ago. The staff I work with at ECFE is putting together a basket of gifts for the new mommy.
I have several of the American Craft albums from the 1.99 bin (Hot Spot) so I decided to whip something up to go along with the note cards. I used papers from the Making Memories 6x6 pack and added TONS of stickers, die cuts, paper flowers and sentiments from Heidi Grace.
I am also official now...I made my own business cards. Well, I don't exactly have a business but it gives info about my blog and my crafting abilities. Enjoy!

Greetings! Got some craftin' done this weekend. My friend Shelly is letting me try out some Glitter Mist she wasn't using so I hope to show you some projects using it soon.
Today's post features some tiny note cards I made for my friend Jenny who just had a baby on the 17th. I figure she can use them as '"thank yous". I made 10 total with envelopes. They feature Imaginesence papers and stamps by Hero Arts (the boy set). I colored the images with my Copic markers and used a variety of punches. Simple, sweet and quick! Enjoy!

Sympathy Cards

Greetings! Where am I? Where did I go? I well...got sucked into the Facebook community. Yeah, I am there now. Despite my doubts and worries. My dear old husband is and always will be an enabler.
My post today features some sympathy cards I threw together this week. I really haven't been craftin' lately. It probably has something to do with working too much last weekend at the store or something.
This card features some of the new Basic Grey Porcelain line. I used a Hero Arts stamp from a couple of years back..it's wood mounted (can't believe it). The ink I used on the image is Shadow Ink from Hero. I also used my Martha Stewart punch (yes the one that makes my hand swell..)OUCH! Do you like the potty pics? Here is a fun web site to check out...if you like to cook. Enjoy!

UMMM This is Cool???!!

Greetings! I have no craft...I am no craft...I feel no craft. But I DO have this ummmm cool thing for you to view. Are You Down?(How did these guys find all of my make up and clothing?) Man, I just loved 1986. OK here is some craft. Check out the Glitter Mist video/tutorial HERE. I think I NEED this stuff. Enjoy!

MMMM Cupcakes

Greetings! Today is Valentine's Day and I made some delicious cupcakes! I made these for our little get-together that we had with our neighbors. We has lasagna and salad with these little babies. YUMMY! I love the paper liners I purchased from Michael's (Martha Stewart-they have polka dots). I am also posting a picture of the card I made for my husband. It features
Pink Cat Sudio (Lily and Billy). I used my Cuttlebug , Stampin' Up Punches and Copic Markers. Papers are from Basic Grey. Enjoy the LOVE!

Gift Idea for Teacher

Greetings! Today I'm posting the little note cards I made for Paige's teacher. I used some of my Stampendous stamps featuring Max the Mouse. The tiny cards and envelopes are sold at Archiver's in our stationary section 10 sets for 1.99. I used all sorts of scraps to create the cards. Some of the paper brands include: Cosmo Cricket, Scenic Route and We R Memory Keepers. I colored each little image with my Copic markers and just added a little adhesive- pop dots. I kept these simple to make this a quick and easy project. I finished this gift up with a cute red box and some swiss dot colored hearts...for LOVE. There are ten notes total. Enjoy!

My Scrap Space

Greetings! I have had a couple of requests from my readers to see my scrap space. OK I took a couple of pictures no spectacular video blog or anything like that.
Check my space out. My space is located in our attic. It is a nice area where I keep not only my scrap/stamp stuff, but also my teaching supplies; which believe it or not, outnumber my crafting supplies by far! Some of my supplies are missing from the photos (Cuttlebug and rolling tote). It is a great space and I use the large ledge along the staircase to spread out pages. You can see that I use a lot of drawers and extras. Most of my paper scraps are stored in these as well as my favorite 6x6 paper packs from Basic Grey. I also have an extra table set up so I can sew on my pages with my machine. I took a picture of my "inspiration" stuff too. (Note I have a lot of NKOTB stuff-my dolls and scrapbook.)
I also wanted to give you a great web site to check out with stamping supplies as well as containers. (Those of you who know me well know I am a sucker for container/gift giving ideas.)
New Clear Dollar Stamps is the name of the site. They not only have stamps but containers and all sorts of goodies. They also have a blog link set up so you can see how to use their stuff. Neato!
Enjoy!
