My niece had her 2nd daughter this month and we are going to see her for the first time at our memorial day cookout. I thought i’d make her a card for the occasion to put her gift inside. I think I had a much easier time with this card since before hand I had [...]
Die Cuts With A View! I came across this paper today trying to find ‘something’ to buy with my 25 dollar gift certificate for Amazon.com and came across these Mat Stacks by a company called DCWV. For one, they are free 2 day shipping with amazon prime, and right now there is 4 for 3 [...]
Becca at AmazingPaperGrace.com was giving away a great blog candy prize pack, but also had a double play where if you checked into her blog to gather the 2 words per day for the next 3 days that were displayed on her page, that person who was picked would have a chance to get a [...]
I’ve gathered and printed all of my home improvement photos since 2004. My goals have always been to scrapbook the before and after. I’ve attempted a couple layouts before, but wasn’t really pleased with the turn out. So now I’m starting over. My first step is to plan it out and really take my time [...]
I bought this plexiglass cabinet a couple of years ago when our local Ben Franklin’s was having their going out of business sale. At the time I wasn’t sure what I would use it for. I finally decided today that to put my beads in it would be a bit scary deal should it ever [...]
Found a great idea for organizing ribbon on amazingpapergrace.com. Here is a link to her blog article: http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/amazing-ribbon-storage/ I didn’t do it exactly as Becca cause I was able to find things around the house to use. Instead of mat board I had some black foam core board doing nothing in my basement so I [...]
I know my first card was somewhat of a bust, but a person’s gotta start somewhere and I think it will be good to post all my cards. Then as I progress, I might look back and have a good laugh right? (either that or i’ll be deleting posts) Anyway, visited tons of yard sales today [...]
Okay, I’m putting it out there … my very first card. I see things I like and things I don’t like now that it’s done. Over the weekend I found these great fabric leaves at a yard sale and instantly thought they would look good on a card or a scrapbooking page. That was where [...]
I was able to find just the right setting on my camera tonight to take photos of my embellished mini lanyards and add them to my store. Use them as cell phone charms, zipper pulls or just hang them on your keychain. I have them posted in my store just for viewing at the moment [...]
I believe it was around 2002 or so when I was inspired to make a quilt. Like I needed another project….but I thought it would be fun and an interesting challenge. So I began to look for patterns and decided on what I affectionately call my ‘Qbert’ quilt. The design is like a Qbert board [...]
Late last night, I found some older versions of my site and I had made some flash galleries with photos of my artwork. They were ‘luckily’ the perfect size for my website design so I started posting them all. Here is one of my favorite pieces I’ve done. I drew it in photoshop with a [...]
Okay…for anyone out there (i hear crickets…anyone?) who has been checking back every now and then on my site has realized, I’ve been posting coming soon signs since January. Well, now I believe I have a direction that I’m comfortable with at least for now. What’s great about wordpress is I can have all my [...]
