they have been begging since last week.

~Creatively Creating Today, Free SVG's & Giveaway WINNER!~

Morning my friends,

yesterday was a long and trying day so not crafting for me.
My baby boy broke his poor little wrist.
here he is with his new brace. It was a small break and the best
possible place, but what a day it was getting him all fixed up!

But I did manage to experiment with my Helmar glue,
I got to thinking...what is one of my main complaints about sewing on
paper or with scrapbooking? My needle gums up!
Then I realized, if I waited until Helmar 450 dried on a project it shouldn't gum
up on my needle but it should be flexible enough to sew on...and sure enough
Hello!! No more sticky goo on my needle!So here is a quick how to make these flowers
and a tip for the next sewing/scrap project that needs glue!



More SVG's here for you faithful downloaders :)
Just click the pic man!
Lizard

Tattoo Style Flame

Tattoo Style Dragon

OK that is it for me today....
Oh wait a WINNER!!!!!! From this POST

and the Stamp set goes too....

~Happy Video Tutorial Tuesday & A RAK for fun!~

Morning my crafty crafters!

Just a quick note, I am on Helmar today.
Since my video has some Helmar in it, we posted it on their blog.
http://www.helmarusa.typepad.com/
*psst...don't forget the DT call for Helmar!*

While I was in West Virginia this weekend I found some GREAT
deals and the first thought that came to my mind was...
"WHAT GREAT RAKS for my blog!~"
So I picked up a FEW goodies to give away!
Now here is the first goody, it is a brand new 8X8 paper pad from Cosmo Cricket
and look at the fantastic shape on the edge of the paper! HELLO!
Plus they have journaling cards inside too.

This is the first prize for this week and I have a few more from me
and one from a Manufacturer too!
But I am going to make you work for it LOL

~Oh Vintage Lace, how I love thee!~

Good morning my fellow crafters!

I had such a great response to the layout I did last week with the
big fat raindrop on it, I thought I would make a quick
video tutorial of the lace flower I made...they are so quick
and easy to make, plus they look fabulous! I love saving $$ and making
my own embellishments. I am thinking about making some hair clips too!

You can find yards and yards of vintage lace at Goodwill or on eBay!
It is so beautiful, I love it all!

If you have not signed up to be a part of Timeless Daydreams,

Have a crafty-liscous day!

~Snowflake Wreath Tutorial and SFIO GIVEAWAY!!~

Good morning, after a tumultuous morning
trying to video tape this tutorial! LOL
I went and set everything up (about 30 minutes) then
went and set up the camera, got Gage all quiet...
started recording...then the dreaded BEEP...BATTERY EXHAUSTED
hehehe
which normally would not be so bad but I had to call hubby
to find the charger since half our belongings are still in boxes!
So here is the Snowflake Wreath Ornament, it is double sided (or can be)
and using scraps is a great way to make it!
Just like the Advent Calendar I used my new favorite glue Helmar 450
That stuff holds wicked good on altered projects!And here is the video how to, it cut short on the end, sorry about that,
but you get the gist of it! :)

Hope you make one and share with me!

You really do have to check out Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

~Happy Tuesday ..Puppies Galore...Woohoo I hit 200!!~

Good morning bloggers!

I was able to sit down last night and begin working on
the boys costumes...they were so sweet this year.
I told them we were moving and I was not going to be able to make the elaborate
costumes I usually make for the entire family, so they
sat together and voted on being puppies this year!
Easy enough right? Some fleece, some sweat pants and a beanie!
Warm, easy and functional!Plus my sweet boys are tickled about the hats!

I also wanted to scrap yesterday but not for anyone but myself,
so I sat down with My Little Shoebox and Cosmo Cricket...
dear friends of mine LOL
and made this page....
I wish it had been sunny and not pouring rain so I could have captured a better
shot of it! It's so much prettier in person!

And one more little thing!!!!!
OK OK BIG THING!
I got the email from Purple Cows saying that in one week,
WE HIT 200 FOLLOWERS! SENT BY PINKY!!!!!!
