halloween

I think I'm done with halloween cards for now,  I've had fun making them, I did take alittle break and I made these cute charms from polymer clay.... I decided to make a bracelet out of them. thanks for looking.

one of my favorite songs of the 80's, every time I hear this song, I  reminisce of my high school days, yes I am showing my age!

halloween cards

I started making halloween cards today,  it was nice to be in some kind of creative mood again. The girl below is really a cute stamp (from stampland).  I just whited her eyes out and  painted her lips red to give her that spooky look.

The cat stamp above was purchased at Michaels last year ($1.00 bin) this card is really a ten minute card!! Some times its just fun to make quick cards.  Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged, sorry guys. Summer was terribly hectic for me. Family from both sides were here......I never made it to my craftroom the whole summer :( Entertaining is very draining (mentally and in your pocketbook) lol. Anyways, I hope everyone had a great summer. Boys are back in school and I am kinda glad, the house is quiet though.

I finally finished sewing this apron, It's made with an old pair of jeans, I was going to send it to somerset sew, but it feels like its not finish, any input?

I know it's only September, but I  felt like making something that has to do with halloween so I pulled out my beads and whatever junk I had already and came out with this bracelet.

I made this bracelet with plastic shrinkadink (I had for years) some charms and beads. it's amazing to see what you can create by just looking at what you already have! Anyways, have a great evening!!!

Have a wonderful and safe 4th of JULY !!!!

creating again

hi everyone, sorry it's been awhile since I've blogged. I've been busy with the boys (baseball) almost over, and of course school. 3 more days of school and we are done! I'm also now in my home! yeah! But now I'm unpacking again, seems like forever, but I know there will be an end to the chaos. I received a new stamp set from oxfordimpressions and made the card above.


I went to a stamp convention acouple weeks ago and bought these stamps. the company's name is artful illusions. I think their website is still down, I love their stamps, the tickets are from stampers anonymous. Now that I'm in my home I can start creating without leaving and blog more. Have a great weekend!

christmas cards!?!

I wanted to make some christmas cards for stampers and this is the first card I have made! It's so hard to think christmas when it's 70 degrees outside! I think I will take a break LOL (like a have made many)

Isn't she cute? I made quite a few birthday cards with her. The stamp is from artistic outpost. Have a good weekend!

spring

I've been working on some spring cards....trying to get my creative juices going. I just think its harder when you haven't done anything in awhile. Anyways, hope everyone has a good week.

catch up stampers issue

How cool is this! my card and Wendy's are in the running for the front cover of the catch up issue. I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but so many things have happened this past couple months and I'm just recovering. Anyways, I have been in a slump in creating but I think I am back! I finally made two cards! (for me, it's moving forward) I also created some spring stuff, will post them when I'm all done. I can't believe easter is around the corner, time seems to move faster when you have children. But I guess it's okay........anyways, have a good weekend everyone!

Valentine cards

I was in a valentine mood this past week, so I made a few cards. Well I'm off to CA for a small family vacation and personal matters, but I'm excited because were taking the boys skiing. We've never skiied in the west coast so this should be fun, have a great weekend everyone.

Marley's card

I finally made Marley's card.....I don't know why I took so long to make it, it's a good thing that she's only one, she won't remember her aunt sent it late. I wasn't totally happy with the composition, but I am done. :)

Do you have so much stuff that you don't even know what you have? well I do, so for 2008, I have decided not to buy anymore embellishments until I use most of what I have, I have spent so much money on embellishments!! My goal this year is to get much more organized....spend more time creating rather than searching for things.

I hope everyone's had a wonderful christmas and may the new year bring you great blessings

Happy New Year!!!

more christmas cards

I hope everyone is having a good weekend, finished acouple more cards, I'm on a roll now! lol

still working on few christmas projects, I am almost done. :)

I purchased a bunch of christmas stickers last year and never used it, so this year I decided to use them. the silver snowflakes and sentiment are rub ons.



Here's another birthday card that I have finished....one more to finish up and to continue to make more christmas cards. Hope everyone is having a stress free holiday, I have purchased 2 gifts so far, but I do not feel stress, I am trying to enjoy the holiday and not make it so hectic. Have a great weekend!

My mom's birthday is coming and of course, she will be 60, wanted to make a nice card for her, hope she likes it. I've been quite a few card for december, almost done with the others and will post once I get them done, but this is also an oxford impression image with k and company stickers.

christmas cards

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! We made it back safely from our travels and always greatful when we don't hit traffic. A few christmas cards that I have made over the weekend, all images are from the new oxford impressions, I love them.

Okay, my youngest son Jared did not want me to buy him a halloween costume, so he went as a baseball player! I have to laugh because he's eight and acts like his older brother, he wanted to be a scary halloween creature and I would not allow him so I have no pictures of him because I have so many pictures of him with his uniform......but my sister sent me this picture of my cute baby niece, Isn't she the cutest bunny! I just want to squeeze her!

Artchix stamps

Audrey inspired me to pull out my new artchix stamps and created acouple atc's and a quick birthday card.....my sister had ask me to make Marley a christmas stocking, of course I said yes! what was I thinking? I have to pull out the sewing machine and actually make a stocking template!

western stamps

The one good thing about being stuck in my own home, I can make some cards. These are from oxford impressions, I started this last night and finished it this morning. The stars were silver and I embossed it with Tim Holtz's walnut ink embossing powder. Has anyone started on christmas? I pulled some stamps out, but I am not motivated yet....if anyone has please post them, thanks for looking.

encaustic art

Okay, a break from halloween stuff....so I started to pulling out my encaustic (wax) tools. I wanted to make some background images and so I pulled out my wax stuff and mixed colors and different type of tips and this is what I ended up with. it is alot of fun, it's alittle messy though because your working with hot wax.
