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!

birthday card

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.

One of my good friend from Virginia is moving to Louisiana, so I made this card for her. I will miss her.

Another halloween card, I'm stuck in my office, construction everywhere in my home. I think I'm done making halloween cards.....maybe one more! LOL

Another halloween bag I have made, their so much fun to make, love putting fabrics together, but I don't like the sewing part!

first of all I want to thank my good friend Jen for my new blog banner, didn't she do a great job? thanks Jen!! I did this last year, Wendy made me an art journal book and I haven't done anything since last year......I guess I need to do another halloween page LOL!

Halloween Cards

acouple of halloween cards I have made over the weekend, the bottom was another transparency picture that I have painted with acrylic paint.

My Craftroom

I have come to conclusion that my craftroom will never be tidy or super organized. I have too many unfinished projects in it. I am pleased to say that I built the long cabinet with the counter top myself. I purchased the wall organizer from a scrapbook store that was going out of business in my area, I cut it in half and hung it above the wall cabinets. Sometimes I look at all of what I have purchased and have collected over the years and get overwelmed, does it stop me from buying? NEVER!! lol (especially stamps, can never have enough of that)

I'm getting into the halloween spirit, I made these domino charms last night and I had fun making them. I wish there more hours in a day, I do have several more halloween projects that I'm working on. I hope I can get it done and post before I move out. I don't plan on moving any of my stuff, maybe afew stamps and paper?LOL
