Snow Day

Hello.  How are all of you.?  It is a snow day here in Adrian.  I spent the morning finishing a book and straighten the bedroom and bath.  Now I am in my craft room.  It is a mess.   I have so many projects to finish up.

Here is a picture of my table.  I am determined to get in cleaned off and several of the projects finished and moved off the table.   So come back off and on today and see what kind of progress I make.  Plus hopefully, I will have several projects to show you.

I have finished the skating bear so I am going to clean up all of that mess and then move on to a step card using the same

stamp set.  I don't usually do that but I have several cards I want to make with this set.  Usually I put the set up and tell myself I will come back to it.  Sometimes I do and others I don't so I am just going to make the cards now.

Have a great afternoon.  Chat with you all in a little while.

Lawn Fawn Beary Happy Holidays

Hello again.  I have had this new set sitting on my desk for several weeks.  I have a couple of cards, I want to make from it.  I stamped and cut all the pieces out earlier.  After dinner, I sat down and made this one.

I just love using the bear as a front and back swing.  He is just to cute.  All of the samples of this card that I saw online used a Christmas sentiment.  My sister used a Valentine's one, but I want a every day one so I could send it to some friends.

The Snow day came from Silhouette Online and the two snowflakes are punches.  I even used a standard scalloped circle die instead of cutting it with my silhouette.  I wanted to make sure all the layers were layered in the right spot.  I like the silver glitter paper layer. 

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Dies R Us - Anything Goes
   Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
   Tuesday Throwdown - Layer It Up
   Cute Card Thursday - Something New
   CAS-usal Fridays - All That Glitter

I really wanted to get both cards done but it is late and I have to work tomorrow.  Have a great night and I will catch you after work tomorrow.

Sneak Peek

Hello.  I am off to work on dinner but I wanted to post a sneak peek.  Guess what I am working with tonight.....

Lawn Fawn Beary Happy Holidays.  I just love this set.  I have two cards I want to make tonight.   So come back later tonight and hopefully I will have at least one ready.

They are all stamped and cut.  All I need to do is color them and put the card together.

Have a great evening....

Dreaming Tree

Hello.  I know it has been around the last few days. 

Monday night here in the US was a major collage football game and I just had to watch it.  It was the championship game and my favorite team was playing.  Go Bama....It was a great game.  Both teams should be proud.

Last night, I worked on this project.  I just didn't get it posted.  It took a long time.  I had to trace all the patterns and then cut them.  And of course, then put it together.  I think this is the first time, I have done such a big project in one night.  Usually I cut every thing one night and put it together then next. 

This is from Dreaming Tree.  It took 18 sheets of paper.  But it was so worth it.  I just love how it came out.  I still need to put a ribbon around the candle but I don't have any thing wide enough, so I will try to pick some up over the next few days.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Creative Knockouts - Celebrations
   Di's Digitals - Celebrations
   Crafty Gals Corner - Anything Goes

Have a great evening and stay safe.

Cleaning Day

Hello.  I really wanted more craft time today but I spent most of the day cleaning and straighten.  My house is close to clean and all the clothes are washed and folded.  That is a big deal around here.

I still need to pull my card from the other day out.  Hopefully I will put it out tomorrow.

Here is my card for today.  It is using one of my favorite texture folders.  I added gemstones on the first one but then decided I wanted to use my red stickles instead. 

Well off to bed.  Chat with you tomorrow after work.  Have a great day.

Tiddly Inks

Hello again. 

Here is today's project.  I really meant to clean off my craft table.  It is a mess.  I have been working on packing away my Christmas countdown box for next year.  Which means making a box here or there.  And looking at my winter  stamps to see what I want to work with and then of course, I have started pulling out some of my Valentine's stamps.  So my table is just confusing to look at.

I got the last of the Christmas stuff put away today, but that doesn't mean I won't be working on more.  So I am down to Winter and Valentines.

This project was neither.  When I saw the email from Tiddly Inks yesterday,  I knew I was going to play with this little girl today.  I have a friend that just loves smiley faces.  I picked up the paper a couple of weeks ago and have been waiting for something to come along.  This was perfect.

I don't normal do pink hair.  I usually stick to browns but I thought it would look just right with the pink in the smiley faces.

I also updated my challenges today, so I am entering her in the following challenges:
   CASology - Encourage
   Simon Says Monday - Something New
   MFT - Sketch #366
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes
   Penny's Challenges - Anything Goes

Well I am off to straighten my desk.  I still need to post my card from Friday.  I finished it and put it way without taking a picture.  I will pull it back out in a little while.

Until then, have a great evening.

Valentine's, here we come

Hello.  I hope every one is enjoying their weekend.   It is still majorly cold here but I am just hanging out inside.

I have a couple of projects to show you.  Sorry I didn't get them posted daily.  I started this on Wednesday and finished it Thursday afternoon, but we had company and I didn't get it posted Thursday night.  So here it is.

I am quite proud of it.  I saw the tutorial for it over on Brigit's Scraps.  Before seeing the tutorial, I would have just made a box and put it between to two kisses.  But I followed the tutorial and added the box to the kiss.  

When the tutorial starting talking about editing points, I had some trouble and couldn't get it to work so I just drew the lines and made the box.  Then I welded it together.  I can't tell you how exciting it is to get this to work. 

The box is just a simple one but I learned a few thing along the way, so you will see me doing more of these.

I am off to work on dinner and then I will be back with another project.  Have a great evening.
