~Clearly "I Do"~

Good morning my AMAZING crafty friends!

This morning my project is romantic and sweet....

It is the new Top Load Acrylic Album from Clear Scraps.

I love these albums! I definitely want to decorate more!

I used my Pop Up Posies from Imaginisce, Teresa Collins paper,

and some Tacky Tape with Clearsnaps fine glitter.

It was a fun project....

I made this to match that frame I posted a couple days ago.

I hope the happy couple will love it as much as I do!

Hey stay tuned for some BIG and fun giveaways this week!!!!

I am going away for a few days next week to teach my class in KY

and while I am gone I will have a big giveaway....

Ok off to start baking cakes, I have 3 cakes to bake today and

decorate tomorrow...it's all for the party we are having on Saturday.

Thanks for popping by.

~Snowflake Basket Lacy Fun~

Good morning a little late,

I had to take the little one to the Dr. this morning :)

I don't know about you but I am SO ready for winter

and the holiday season. Don't know why but I am ♥

When Samantha Walker showed us her new cut files I jumped on the

chance to make this basket! ♥♥♥ it!

I knew right away what I wanted to do.

Make myself a desktop box for the bits and pieces of lace

I always have sitting there leftover from projects.

Perfect size and cute as a button. It sure makes me dream of snow

and my husband dream of a better vacuum that picks up glitter LOL

Poor Andrew just is in heck this week with all the glitter.

I can honestly say that right now my keyboard is covered

and so is my living room carpet.

The carpet is because the new glitter for the YuDu...

I LOVE IT so much! Wait until you see the Cricut Circle Projects!♥

Ok I am off to help my little man...his brother went back to school

now he is sick as a dog.

So if i am scarce this week I apologize, these kids have been really

ill for 2 weeks now and it's so hard to get everything done.

~Love ya~

~Crafty Blessing~

Good morning my lovely crafty friends,

I thought I was just scrapping a layout yesterday,
but it ended up being very emotional for some reason.

Crafting has brought such enrichment to my life.
It has brought me out of my shell and allowed me to be as brave and
bold as I needed to be to pursue happiness in a whole new way.
I have met the MOST amazing people of my life while
crafting and encouraging craftiness as a whole.
One of those amazing events happened around Christmas
when a bunch of my amazing crafty friends all got together
to buy a special gift for a dear friend.
It was not my crafty friends who surprised me as much as my husband!Who not only stood up and said "Let's do this how can I help" but also
when I told him I needed to drive to Alabama to deliver this gift
in time for Christmas Day, he stood up again and said "Let's GO!"I don't know why it surprised me, he knows I have a soft heart and he
always stands beside me helping with a smile...but for some reason it really
validated to me that he finds my crafting a treasure and not a nuisance in
any way shape or form...so instead of scrapping the pictures of my gf, I decided
to make a layout in homage to him and his support.
I am rambling today sorry :)

Journaling strips:
I am always amazed by the incredible generosity and kind hearted
crafters I have met online and in person.
This year is no different, and the biggest blessing is hubby who always
jumps up to help me even if it means driving to Alabama before Christmas.
Journaling:
Such a blessing to meet amazing people who share my passion for crafting
and love for others. I am so blessed to have been a part of this special gift.
I will never forget those beautiful hearts, all for you Aymee.

Came but for friendship, and took away love.

Happy Monday my friends, I hope you find your passion in crafting
because when you find that love and passion, you will never let it go!

~A Special Valentine's Day Project!

Good morning all you lovely, beautiful crafters!
How is your week going?

I FINALLY finished my big project yesterday, I had a heck
of a time with it too. I was wanting to dismantle a frame and
write or etch on the glass, but I don't have a cricut or anything
to etch or make big letters, so I came up with this!

When I have a couple minutes I will be sharing a tutorial on how
to make this very look on glass!
It was SO easy I don't know why I did not think of it earlier!

The heart is a simple foam heart from Michael's Craft store
with glass pebbles in the middle of each Lace Flower (from my earlier tutorial)
and plenty of tulle. Oh and of course a big old dose of Helmar glue!
I used the 450 Quick Dry for the lace flowers
and the Professional Acid Free Glue for the outside of the pebbles and the glitter.

The glitter I used is the AWESOME glitter from ClearSnaps!
Hello...if you have not tried ClearSnaps products, they are rocking my world lately!
Between the SMOOCH SPRITZ and the FINE GLITTER
I am in glitzy heaven!
That awesome scroll with the vine?? That is also Clearsnaps...
its called a DESIGN ADHESIVE!
OH lorday...makes this pink one swoon!, You can add flocking, glitter
whatever you want!
OK I promise to get the glass tutorial to you tomorrow or Sunday.
I am off to the school to volunteer today so no more time for chit chat!
Remember this is the LAST day to enter to win the
Purple Cows Mouse Cutting System RAK, so head back and check in :)

~Thank you for stopping by~
~Thanks for all the love and support~
