An Eerie Halloween Greeting...

Hello Everyone!

Yes we are in July, but October is fast approaching and I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

I dug around my room and found this awesome background stamp and just had to use it over a background made out of Tim Holtz's Distressed Oxide Inks!
Picture
I love the look when these inks oxidize and you let it dry naturally!

Created a border and used my tonic mousse.  These are great to work with and so many ways to use them in your project design!

What are you creating for Halloween..... it's just around the corner!

ENJOY and SHARE what you create!

Hello Everyone!

The My Hero Arts July 2017 Card Kit is absolutely both elegant and simple!  So many possibilities with these stamps and dies.

What also came in the kit was this exquisite 100% recycled handmade watercolor paper and confetti. It was just simply divine to work with.

I could not wait to pull out my watercolors and play!

I used my mission gold watercolors and my tombow markers for the color added.

Hello Everyone!

The small stamp and dies sets available are sometimes the diamonds in the rough!  This one does not disappoint on many levels...  this would be great to send to someone who just needs to smile, even if it is just for a moment!  By adding the wobble feature that just makes it even better for the recipient!  I find I cannot stop playing with this card... 
Picture
Picture
Created the ocean background with my watercolors and a stencil found  in my stash.  My fishes were colored with my prismacolor alcohol markers...  (no, I am not a copic marker owner!)

I placed a wobble feature on back of my one fish and added my sentiment!  Check out the video below and see just how fun thisi card can be!  I bet if you try this you will not stop playing with your card...

Have a great day creating!
​Enjoy and share what you create!

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and spending time doing what they love!

Here I want to show a project I made for a friend for her Birthday!  One of the many creatives I enjoy watching on YouTube is Ginger from My Sisters Scrapper!

She inspires me with every video she makes showing her amazing albums...
Picture
Picture
In this album there are 6 pages and each can hold up to 8 photos of any size and there are even sections set aside for journaling! 

The card stock papers used were amazing and are from Michael's Arts and Crafts.

I love working with my customers when it comes to the design of their memory album...  If interested, just contact me and together we can create your memory keepsake!

Hello Everyone!

Finally getting caught up with my blog posts for the month of July! What a better way to start these off but with the Simon Says Stamp July 2017 Card Kit!

This kit came with the most adorable bikini outfit die! (...and no, I would never fit in one!, LOL)
Picture
Picture
Picture
There was a lot of energy involved with this kit.  I did focus on the die, and the papers made it easy to choose the patterns for the suits.  ...and yes, they even had YELLOW-POLKA-DOT paper to make a Bikini!  I sing the song every time I look at this card.

ENJOY and SHARE what you create!

Gina K Designs:  Sentimental Summer - Stamp TV Kit

Hello Everyone!

My love for the Gina K Designs Stamp TV Kits continue to grow and I find myself looking for the next release!
​Her Sentimental Summer is fabulous and it made me pull out my prismacolor pencils and start my first of three projects.  
Picture
Picture
The simplicity of her design from the stamps to the papers allows for a wide range of versatility.  here I used my Distressed Inks for a watercolor background and then stamped my images in Black VersaFine ink to emboss in clear. And then topped it off with the double bow out of black organza ribbon.  Yes Gina has the best tutorial on this!
Here we just used black and white card stock and stamped the images in VersaMark Ink and white embossed. Added white organza ribbon around the design.

As papercrafters we ALWAYS have scraps laying around that we cannot part with...  we know they can be used for some creative idea we have...

I was looking through all the materials I have in my office and came up with these adorable paperclip embellishments for your planners, books, scrapbook pages or even your cards (it adds just that little something extra)! ~ these are just the prototypes!

In the photo above I pulled from my watercolor backgrounds I have laying around and used my trusty hand punches to create these button shapes...  I cannot wait to continue to make more creations from this creation and even better they will be available soon in the shop for everyone to enjoy and brighten their memories...
Picture

In this next photo I used my batik fabric scraps and chipboard to add another element in the design...  (Yes my office is very large... LOL!)

Keep an eye out for these to be available soon


Be Inspired and Let's Get Inky and Create!
Enjoy!

    Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably made it and collected it. I simply find so much joy in working with my hands and seeing a happy customer with one of my creations. There’s nothing better! But I also love helping people become stronger and seeing them find THEIR happy through THEIR creations.​
