~Chocolate...Better Than Sex?? Humor In Crafting~
1 comments Posted by Pinky Hobbs at Thursday, November 29, 2012
Good morning, Ok Ok I know I SHOULD be crafting
Christmas cards right? But I'm NOT. haha
I needed to escape these boys of mine for a few minutes last night
so I snuck into my craft room after spending the day baking and
used my new Viva Las VegaStamps to create this fun card.
I am always needing a fun girlfriend card, so why not right?
I love how sassy it is...and I know the perfect recipient as well.
I figure it's a good break from painting the living-room and
running around. :)
So happy Thursday my friends, I hope you had a giggle today~

Happy Tuesday my friends,
Well yesterday was an eventful day, I went to the beauty parlor
(yes I know I sound 60...just shut it LOL)...and got my hair chopped off.
A good 5" for winter. Its a fun do, and we also went to buy some paint for the
livingroom!! Very excited to be painting my livingroom.
This is one of the last two cards for this class of 8.
Just thought I would share with y'all.
I have really enjoyed making these holiday cards.
I love using acrylic.
I had a similar one published last year.
All fun times~
I guess I better get cracking on these cards since I need about
30 more in the next week for Christmas card mailing.
I also wanted to share my stash clean out in my craft room.
If you are interested in anything please just holler at me! :)
These All In One Cuttlebug systems I am selling the entire
kit for 50.00 plus shipping it is new except the one plate I used it twice
and it retails at 100.00 for all so it's a good deal! :)
Ok I am off to finish these classes and fix this hair!
Happy Tuesday and Happy Holidays!~

~*GIVEAWAY ALERT* Happy Bugs & Embossing w/ VLVS!~
9 comments Posted by Pinky Hobbs at Monday, November 26, 2012
Good morning my friends and happy Cyber Monday! :)
I spent the holiday weekend with the family and had a beautiful
time, relaxing and enjoying the kids and friends.
**Giveaway below**
I also managed to sneak away and craft quite a bit.
Happy Bugs contacted me last week and asked me if I wanted
to do an honest review on their Static Free bags.
I thought I would try it but really didn't understand the premise
UNTIL I tried it! :)
I decided to get out my new Viva Las VegaStamps plate 1302 and
try heat embossing. I figure that is pretty much an ultimate test.
Look how clean and clear my image came out even with the embossing.
I wanted to make some home decor for Christmas, so I went with a canvas.
I had never tried heat embossing canvas before but it was a fun time.
I LOVE the texture for sure!
But where the Happy Bugs came in was the paper stamped image.
I tried it with and without the powder and it was noticeably crisper with the
Happy Bugs pouch. Both images were clean and crisp BUT the embossing
powder really stuck around on the paper without the Happy Bugs
and even though it was clear it definitely was not as crisp.
Here you can see every letter, and the window streaks too! :)
For embossing that's pretty cool.
Anyways I am super stoked about my cool new project!
Very happy with the Happy Bugs pouch.
And they sent me TWO so I can give one away...
that's the super awesome part of the day.
I will throw in a goody in the bag as well if you win.
If you want to buy one of your own they are on sale Cyber Monday ONLY

Just leave a comment for your chance to win and YES I am

~25 Day Until Christmas Cookie Sheet Project!~
3 comments Posted by Pinky Hobbs at Sunday, November 25, 2012
Good morning and happy Sunday my friends,
All week this last week Viva Las VegaStamps has used their
December Daily Plate 1430 to host a giveaway (each day) and
inspiration project each day, this one is mine! :)
I used RED ink and the December Daily Plate to create this
countdown to Christmas Magnetic Cookie Sheet.
Funny story, I actually bought one of these kits about 4 years ago
well...maybe 3, I don't know. But I bought it at Treasured Scrapbooking.
I was not a fan of the actual kit but I wanted the magnets and cookie
sheet so I could create my own.
The shop has long since shut down and the cookie sheet and magnets sat
in my room for years, until they asked me to do a December Daily project!
I knew everyone would make these amazing vintage artsy creations
so I decided to make a more bright crazy style with a pop feel to it
just for fun! I painted the cookie sheet with "Almond" paint.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out what felt like 100 circles! LOL
It was actually only like 36 (I needed extra just in case).
I used Jillibean Soup papers, Then I hand embellished each one
by stamping the numbers in RED, then hand cutting them out and
popping them up on the circle and adding Pink Paislee
dite cut embellishments. It took 1 pack of Pink Paislee die cuts, and
2 sheets of Jillibean Soup paper for the entire project.
And about 6 hours to make because I kept leaving and coming back to it.
After I finished each circle I added a magnet to the back.
(That tore my nails to bits! Peeling off the sticker paper on those)
And I added some tulle and the title on the bottom using
the same alphabet stickers from the Jillibean soup papers.
It was a fun project to create and I gave it to a friend. :)
Anyways don't forget to ENTER to win a plate for yourself!!
And see other beautiful projects- they are so amazing~

~**Prizes**Christmas Ornament Sun Catcher- All Things Altered Blog Hop~
19 comments Posted by Pinky Hobbs at Friday, November 23, 2012
Good morning and welcome to the last stop on the
All Things Altered Winter Blog Hop.
My project is a versatile project- it could be a long ornament
OR a winter window sun-catcher! :)
I took a Clear Scraps Tree mini album, I coated the edges in Piccolo
Enamel powder and heat set it. Creating a little bit of crinkling on the trees.
Then I used Clearsnap glitter to create a snowy feel.
And placed the Momenta Metals snowflakes on each side.
(This is two sided)
Then I threaded a Connie Crystal sun-catcher at the bottom.
Since I am the LAST chickita on the blog hop you can go
back to the beginning right here
And if you missed the last one just head back to here

~Embossing W/ Enamel Powders & Stamps~
2 comments Posted by Pinky Hobbs at Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Good morning and happy day before Thanksgiving!
I know you all are probably running around crazy busy, today
is my baking day. Most of my close friends left town for Thanksgiving
but a few stragglers stayed, and we will be spending the day together.
I am in charge of the pies! :) Anyways...on to the crafts right?
I created this card using Momenta papers (I love their new lines) and
the Momenta metal snowflakes BUT I used Globecraft Piccolo Enamel
to add the copper colors. And I used Avocado Arts stamps to create the
trees, then I used the enamel powder on them to make it really special.
I love the whole look, if I had enough paper I would make all my Christmas
cards just like these! I also used a White Pearl Pen to create the snow~
I had a fun time with this one...you should totally try the enamel powders! :)
Ok off to bake my friends...
I will be taking tomorrow off but coming back with a special project
on Friday for a special BLOG HOP!
Plenty of prizes to so please come back if you have a chance.
Happy Wednesday.
