Late post but a great day.

Hi guys,

I know I have not posted lately but I have been busy and I have been having a great week. So I got new stamps and supplies. I also had a very great stamp class.  Well when I was out and about I visited my local Michael's, and came across a great find in the clearance selection. It is a milk carton die and I couldn't believe the price of $5.30 I looked at it very carefully and there was no damaged so I purchased it. I tried it out and there was nothing wrong. What a great buy at a great price.

I discover a local craft store and visited it last week. While looking at it I came across these dies and loved how it looked. So I purchased them and love the outcome of them. They are from memory box and can't wait to make some cards with them.

So this past Sunday was craft class and I was so excited to what we created. It was and advent calender. It was easy to put together but took some time to complete. I just love the outcome, so now just got to find some treats for it.

The next two items are ornaments that I found at my local Hobby Lobby and could not decide what to color them but in going through my colors. And I came across a few good color combinations.

 I also did find this one that I just had to color and see how it would come out.  It kind of replaces one that got broken by accident by my brother.

Well with all of these great ideas it got me inspired to create a card. So I went through my supplies and I created this card. I am looking forward to make some more.

Well that is it for now and I will be working on making some new projects for this coming Wednesday's post. Till next time keep crafting.

Hi guys

So Halloween has just finished and I have purchased a few new products to get started on fall and winter cards. I bought some paper pads from Joann's I know they are for Halloween but it has sheets I can use for fall and winter.  

 I also purchased some stamps from the greeting farm.  I like how they look will now just have to see what I can create to set that fall or winter mood.

I did start to practice coloring on one of the stamped images.  So far looks good just need to see what other color combinations I can come up with.

Well sorry for the short blog, but I got to get back to crafting and seeing what I will come up with. Till next time.

Start work on christmas projects.

Hi guys,

So Halloween is almost here and I have been to my local hobby stores and saw something I want to practice on. I saw some ceramic items that I thought would be nice to start with. I found these gingerbread figures and I wanted to see how well I could paint them. I like how both of them came out. I didn't have a lot of colors but with what had I like my results. I didn't have black paint but did have black markers. I think I will get a few more of these and see what else I can make. Maybe add some glitter. Well this post is very short but I will be making more stuff and am ready to post my new projects of the items I created.

I am looking forward to maybe do something for fall and of course for Christmas. I haven't decided what to create besides cards. Gotta check out my hobby stores and look to see what inspires me to get me juices flowing.

Hi guys

I have been absent and sorry but have been very busy. Well I when I went to my latest craft class I really like what we created. Love how the curvy die from stampinup is so universal. I love what you can create from it. These are the projects we did on class and the one card for fall.

 For the pink ribbon we used glitter paper and spritz and a word die. It was a joy die and cut out the y from the die to make the ribbon.

Before I went to class I wanted to create something for the group. And since I wouldn't see anyone till next month. I decided to make some simple Halloween cards. Like how each of them came out and just used some basic colors.

I did receive some happy mail from my cousin and in a following post I will show the stamps, but here is a card that i made with the stamps she sent me. The butterflies where from another stamp set I have but love how it comes together. I used ink, color pencils.

Well I finally got my paper pumpkin and I will say I'm not to kin on it. I really have seen what it is suppose to make and I am not really excited. I am going to see if I can come up with something different to make. But on a good note is I love the stamp set that came with it.

Well that is it for today till next time enjoy crafting.

Very late post and a loss

Hi guys

I have not blogged for the past almost two weeks because my grandmother passed away and I did not have the heart to post anything. But I have started to craft again and it has helped me. So I will be sharing what I have been creating. I bought some wood decorations and started to decorate them and I love the out come of what I finished.

 I loved how each on came out and I practiced different techniques on each. All have glitter but some have watercolor, some have viva decor inka gold, and some have paint. But the result on each I love I am going to give one of these to my cousin and hope she likes it.

These cards are finally getting me out of Halloween and into fall and Christmas I just love how each one of them looks. I find it funny how you can learn a lot of techniques on the Internet and then it takes you a few months to try it out. Love the results can't wait to start making more cards.

Well sorry to cut this one short but going through my supplies and getting ready to make more cards. 

Till next time.

Stamp Camp

Hi guy s

The moment I was waiting for has arrived. I attended my second year at stamp camp and this time instead of 13 projects we had a total of 16. All I can say is wow what great projects we did today. there was so much inspiration displayed today. I got to take pictures of cards that the demonstrators made. It was a Stampin Up event and I was excited to start on the projects but first a few pictures of the cards

I can't wait to be able to Case the cards I took pictures of.  I got inspired by all the cards I was able to take pictures up. The following pictures are the projects that we did start and I was able to finish only 10 out of the 16 projects. I was able to stamp and cut wood I need it to finish my last 6 projects.

I was so happy to have a friend join me this time and I was also able to see the person who originally invited me to this camp last year. Now with the project that I created I want to purchase the stamps and dies to also create my own projects. Well this is it for today. Till next time.
