NEW PROJECT ALERT!

Finally right? It's been crazy busy but trust me I have about 25 projects

to share in the next month. It's time for the amazing new Avocado Arts set 

for April and it is Pear-fect!

For this card I used Clear Scraps acrylic and the SEW MUCH sentiment. 

I even stitched on the card itself...fun fun!

Happy Hump Day friends! :) 

Thinking Of You Vase Card...

Hey there friends, HappyMonday!

I hope you are not iced in like I am but if you are we might as well 

get crafty right?

This card I made using the newest Avocado Arts Stamp Set

call Hello Spring and for the vase I used Clear Scraps acrylic which

I stamped on using StazOn then I coated the back side with

Glass Effects before putting it on the card.

 I love how I ended up with a mixed media style card!

Here is the full set and as always it's such an adorable mix.

Vintage Painted Acrylic Tag Card

Good morning friends, what a busy week ahead,

but I wanted to share some new projects this week including this

vintage style painted Clear Scraps acrylic card from the

February Kit at Creating Made Easy. 

 For this card I painted the edges of the flaps using Deco Art paints. 

Then to create the tag I simply cut out a sheet of patterned paper and used

a new Little B Border punch for the top. 

 Added some Prima flowers and goodness from the kit and 

that was all she wrote! 

These Send It Clear Cards from pre-cut and ready to assemble with an envelope too, 

they are so amazing. 

Hello Summer...Goodbye Summer...

Hey there friends, can you believe it? I blogged

TWO day in a row with a project!

This one is a fun Clear Scraps Half Scallop Send It Clear Card using

Simple Stories and Ribbons Unlimited Ribbon (love the Ombre Ribbon)

 I used a clear acetate frame from Simple Stories and cut it down to

fit the bottom flap, then added Liquid Pearls to the half scallop. 

 I love the beachy theme and feel.

 I was going to use alcohol inks but I loved it the way it was...

the only thing I wish I had was some Mudd Puddles sand to add! 

That would have been perfect!

That's it for me, don't forget the SW blog hop tomorrow!

Happy Tuesday friends.....

I almost forgot to post this card I created for Gage's teacher.

I swear I am addicted. 

The base paper is actually green- go see what I did, it's fun! :)

Smooching And Stamping Canvas

Good morning my friends, Happy Monday to you.

Today I have a special canvas project to share that I created

a step by step tutorial for on the Linnie Blooms Blog. 

Head over and check out how I used Avocado Arts stamps to create this

fun fall themed card where I stamped all the leaves on and Smooch

spritzed the canvas in a Gold Glow!

It was a fun project, I hope you enjoy!

See y'all tomorrow.

Good morning crafty peeps, 

I was sitting there yesterday creating with the Creating Made Easy

September kit and came across this October Afternoon set of papers.

When I finished my other projects I just felt like making a cowgirl

card for no damn good reason- so I did! LOL

 I just hand cut the pocket- no real pattern. 

Then I stitched it with my sewing machine and some white thread.

I stayed simple and old school that's for sure! LOL

I found some creamy woodgrain ribbon and it was a perfect match. 

LOVE the wood grain paper from this paper line- 

Just makes me happy even to have a simple card done and ready.

A few things coming up this week including my first XYRON post- so

stay tuned please, and until then, have a fantastic Tuesday! MUAH!

~Hi...I'm Here For You~

Hey there happy Thursday my friends,

Oh I am in love with the Avocado Arts stamp set this month

especially the "I'm Here For You" sentiment- such a great sentiment for

this time of year and any time your friends need you. 

 Sometimes I think I am the luckiest gal in the world with such

amazing friends who are so genuine and loving.

I have such great kids in my life too- such a blessing.

I took a little time out this week for the family.

In the midst of Gage's Autism appointments and testing 

we took some park time and swimming time. 

This has been such a hard week with hubby in the ER- Gage in 

his testing and so much anxiety. It's nice to reflect on how amazingly

blessed our family is to have those who care and support us!

Have a wonderful day  my friends~ :)
