About Me!

Hi and welcome to my blog. I've just caught the crafting bug again and am starting to create new things to share. I will post my creations here and hope that you enjoy them. Crafting is such a relaxing thing for me. I can just get lost in it and lose all track of time. Lucky for me I have 4 angels (my kids) that bring me right back to reality.I love to think of things for the holidays to share and love learning new things as well. Please feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts.

Graduation Thank you Cards!


I finally finished the thank you cards last night.  I used red Bazille cardstock for the card with a layer of white.  I stamped a graduation cap from Stampin Up's Tassle Time.  I used Versa Ink on black paper and cut out the hat and attached with foam dot to add depth.  I used a sentiment from Fiskar's So Much Thanks clear stamp set.

Butterflies



I'm going back to work in a few days and wanted to get some crafting in before I started.  I have this butterfly stamp from Hero Arts that I just love.  I also love playing with my copics so I thought, why not make a few cards to keep on hand, just because.  I hope you enjoy!

Butterfly



This is a card that I made for Mother's Day!  I used Hero Arts Butterfly stamp and painted it with Copic Markers.  I also used Stickles glitter paint on the butterfly.  I stamped the sentiment with black ink on white cardstock and used the colored stamp ink to color the paper.  The scroll was stamped and colored with Perfect Pearls.

Mother's Day Card


This is a card I made for Mother's Day last year.  I stamped the hydrangea, from Rubber Stampede on white cardstock and colored it with copic markers.  I then hi-lighted the center of the flowers with yellow stickles glitter paint and stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts in black ink and coated it with clear glitter.  I attached the white stamped cardstock onto a light blue background and and attached both of those onto the dark blue card.

Valentine Treat Bags

I made these cute treat bags for my daughter's class at school.  Took white cardstock and stamped the heart and sentiment then colored the heart with copics.  I added the Cotton Candy Stickles around the edge, filled each cello bag with treats and used double sided tape to adhere the topper to the bags.

So cute and easy!

Soccer Player

I've been doing alot of football players with my bricks and got an order to do a soccer player.  Wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but I think it turned out pretty cute.  They wanted the Chivas colors.  Let me know what you think!

Altered Paint Cans

I love to create new designs for people.  My niece was having a baby shower and I decided to create a can to put the gift in.  I got my idea from the theme of the shower which was Giraffes, then I decided to incorporate the colors of the shower which were pink and brown.  I love the way the can came out.  The design was plain but very cute.  I used pink paper with white polk-a-dots on the top half and plain brown paper on the bottom half.  I found a wide wire ribbon that was pink with brown polk-a-dots and wrapped it around the can and tied it. For the top of the can, I used light pink paper and a brown sticker with a carriage on it and wrote the baby's name around the sticker.


Once the can was done, I decided to make a card that matched.  I used brown cardstock with 3 different patterns of paper and layered them on top of the brown.  I wrapped pink satin ribbon over it and tied it in a knott.  I used a pink paperclip that I twisted into an S shape and hung a small tag on it.  I stamped a giraffe on white cardstock and used copic markers to color it and layered it on a tan border.  I also created an envelope to put the card in so it would match the can.
