Feeling the chill in OHIO

Life has a way of getting in the way of my blogging :) I thought I would share another project that I did for Summer CHA . The Paper Company has some really great shimmer Paper. The new snow flakes from Spellbinders just topped this layout . Hope you enjoy the eye candy :)
I am not big on the layouts But I do like the fact that I am getting a lot of my albums done .
I tend to dwell on a layout for hours . Did I do enough or not enough that is always going through my brain . The picture says a thousand words by it's self.

Well I have lots of work to do to get caught up so have a great evening everyone :)

Luminary Shoe Box

I have exciting news. I have been very busy the last couple of weeks moving my baby into her big girl bed. I now have a craft room:) I am growing
I have to admit it is nice to have my dinning room back. The husband is happier now. Yeah
No more yelling :)

This is not a very good picture. I know but it is the only one I have. I already sent it off. It was at Summer CHA.



To make this I used :
a little shoe box
7gypsies Paper
Clear Vellum
Craft Foil from Spellbinders
ColoeBox Chalks cateyes
Flurdelis Pendant Die
Accents
Three battery light inside

I have to get projects for October Done you won't here from me for a little while.
I do not manage my time very well. I am way far behind and trying to get caught up :)
have a great Day and thanks for stopping by:)

Hey There:)

This is another CHA Summer project that I made for Spellbinders Paper Arts .
This is a Photo of my Grandma when she was a little girl around the 1920's .
I saw this bag at Pat Catan's My favorite craft store:)
I had gotten my new Labels and knew just what I was going to do.
I love 7 gypsies things. If I knew how to give you a link it would be right here:)
I am not that advanced with blogging just yet. Any way Altered projects are my all time favorite things to do . They are very time consuming for me though. This took me a week to complete. There is a lot of Decoupage, Colorbox Chalks Feathers, Foil and 7 gypsies paper.
Labels 8&9 , Accents from flurdelis, Impressabilities, Renaissance Harts Pendent,
I really liked the way this turned out :)

Happy Birthday Keeley :)

Well I am slowly getting caught up with my projects. Life just keeps getting in the way!!
Keeley just turned two on the fourth and we are going to the Kiddie Park tomorrow:)
Little kids are amazing I don't Remember what I did with all of my time before them.

I think I am going crazy

I am fast becoming a stamp junky. Never thought I would until I saw Crafty Secrets has the cutest
littler girl witch for Halloween :)

Well as you may know I do some drawing. I am doing this project it is a layout for scrapbook page and it has a nautical theme.

Long story short, After combing the net for a Company that makes nautical themed Stamps that I could color in with my Copic Markers of course .
I found nothing. To be more specific I was in need of an anchor !! Well I did not find one !!

So, Here is what I came up with. Let me know what you think ?

It was done from my own mind no reference. Sometimes I will get an idea and I can't get it out of my mind. I even tried to make one with the Nestabilities (lol) . There good but I found this to work a lot better :) It will be an embellishment for the page :) AND SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PAGE BUT
NOT RIGHT NOW . I know such a tees:)

Follow up

OK I have a couple of minutes by myself with the kiddies to bed and all:)
I wanted to Share a few of the products that I used on the Fireplace Card.
Some of the Dies are discontinued hopefully Stacey will bring some of them back because they are so great. Me in the position I am in there is not much in the case of dies I don't have :) However I am fast becoming addicted to stamps :) And I do have some doubles Dies :) I was thinking maybe blog candy :) I do not know!! or maybe trading:)

I really like the Holly that came from a die called Ornament & Holly S3-075 and the Camp Fire Die S3-073. Now I know Tags 5 S4-081 will never go anywhere it is way to popular.

Here comes the new Dies for the Christmas season(HOHOHO) not ready for that at all.
Labels 8 S5-019 I don't know about you but I can not get enough labels :)
And last but not lest the Stocking from a set called Holiday- Cheer S4-225 this die was so much fun to work with . I can see this in many different projects of mine :) If I ever have the time to post any thing. (LOL)

The paper was from DCMC luxury pack from Pat Catan's my favorite Craft Store!! Micheal's is running a close second :) But staying on track here I used a ton of Copic now I can't remember
witch ones I used and truth be told I do not want to type all of them out SO what . I know I will need to start taking pictures of what I use . So I can post them toos . Gosh there is so much for his Newbie to remember it is crazy . Back on track I used Stickel's to give it a little sparkles and some brads that I got from creative expressions. I used 3d foam squares and EZ-runner from scrapbook adhesive. And I think that is all.

Thank You all so much for letting this newbie share .
As I look and get inspired by all the talented people that have really great blogs
I am sure I am going to get better :) Have a great evening I'm off to bed good night !!

Finally I get to share :)

I finally get to share some of the things I have made for Spellbinders CHA .
First of all I don't consider myself a card maker. Don't get me wrong, I really do enjoy making them and they take me no time. Sometimes I get to looking around and see so many excellent card makers are out there and honestly it can be a little intimidating if you know what I mean. Just check out some of my fellow design team members :) or the blogs I visit way to much. They are truly a great inspiration for me.


This is where my Journey begins I wanted to give you kind of
an inside view of my experience so far.
Spellbinders basically gave me a challenge to create one layout, one card & one Altered piece
with the new release dies they gave to me . This card was completely inspired by the stocking.
It is late and time to put the kids to bed. I will post with all the details on Monday:)
