~Stamp Happy Tuesday~

Good morning to all my crafty friends in crafty-land.

Hope your Tuesday is going well!

I spent yesterday crafting a little

but not my typical crafting.

Ever since I met Katie Cotton and she gave me some of her

amazing Paper Makeup stamps, I have been dying to delve

into stamping. I am not your every day stampin' gal.

I decided yesterday to try some mediums in my stamping

and see how I liked it.

I don't know if it looks weird or good? LOL

But in person it's quite pretty.

First I stamped the image, then I took and embossing

ink pen and embossed her hair with an ocean blue

heat embossing powder. Then I added VIVA Decor copper

to her barrettes, then I Smooch Spritz the whole thing

in gold and blue, then I colored it in with Copics.

After that I took my sewing machine and stitched along

the strands of her hair, and coated it with a crackle medium.

Then I coated it with an antique glaze and mounted it on this card.

Now...what am I going to do with it?? LOL

Is it card worthy? I am not sure.

Any ideas for me?? It was alot of work/fun. I hate to see it

sit in my drawer. I was thinking maybe a card? Not sure.

Don't forget to enter the Ruby Rock-it GIVEAWAY!

Ok I am off to get these boys ready for school.

I woke up early and packed lunches but man I have a migraine.

Time to get a hot breakfast made and wake em up with kisses!

~Have a great day y'all~

~It's FRIDAY Let's Rock & Roll! *Stamp Winner*~

HAPPY FRIDAY, Friday the 13th even! OOOooo
My poor baby boy was sick yesterday so
it put a halt to any crafting for Thursday.

Remember those pictures I took of my feet? LOL
I finally found a use for them! WOOT!

I was playing at Tally Scrappers,
because I wanted to win a kit for my girlfriend.
The challenge was to make an 8.5X11 LOUse safety pins, make it rock & roll, and use cardboard,
oh and use song lyrics. I used some of them because
they are pretty graphic. I will post them at the end of the page
and try to blur out the one itty bitty cuss word.I love Eminem *don't shoot me* hehe
I feel like he is the modern day voice for many
abused children so I relate to his music
in a weird way. I am not as crude as he is but
it speaks to my heart and I cry for him and others.

So I used his song "Beautiful" that says
"Come walk a mile in my shoes"

I wanted to make it ROCK so I used denim and metal
and some old almost dried out silver paint.
I rubbed it on with my fingers all over the title and

everywhere, it looks pretty cool in person.

Journaling:*All lyrics just chopped up to fit the page*

In my shoes, just to see What it's like, to be me I'll be you, let's trade shoes. Just to see what it'd be like to feel your pain, you feel mine Go inside each others' minds Just to see what we'd find look at life through each others' eyes I'm not looking for extra attention I just wanna be just like you Blend in with the rest of the room Nobody asked for life to deal us With these b**sh** hands we're dealt We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip 'em, don't expect no help Now I could've either just sat on my ass and pissed and moaned Or take this situation in which I'm placed in and get up and get my own
But I already told you my whole life story not just based on my description 'Cause where you see it, from where you're sittin It's probably 110% different I guess we would have to walk a mile In each others shoes.

OK on to the amazing Paper Makeup Stamps WINNER(S)

Love the stamps. So many lovely ones there, but the sweetheart robot is just too much. I'm thinking I may have to get that for next year's Valentine card for my hubby. (Geek luv, :sigh:)

~It's a Dirty Thursday & 1 more CHA *WINNER*~

Good morning my crafty friends,

it has been a good but long week.
Who else is ready for Friday?

Have you checked out Dirty Scraps this week?
The new challenge is up and EVERY Challenge is sponsored!
The last winner won a 50.00 gift certificate to Keller's Creations
so it is worth playing along even if it is just for
the challenge and creativity!

Here is my layout for the Challenge
When I began Dirty Scraps, I never knew it
would be such an inspiration to others.
The tide of scrapping is changing and I
am finding now it is more acceptable
to scrap it real and scrap life as it happens.I love it and it has become so therapeutic for me!
I have amazing friends and amazing family but this LO is about
those very few people who take the time to
let me know they despise me.I know it is just a couple people out of many good
so I don't let it taint my life. It show me how being
so negative can change me into someone I don't want to be.
So it's a good thing, a good life lesson.Can you believe that we are almost to 700 followers?
This has been an amazing week!

Oh and the GINGHAM I used on the LO...
it is a new awesome product I love from Love My Tapes! Hello how fun!
http://lovemytapes.blogspot.com/

How about another CHA Winner!
I have a GYPSY DVD!!
And the winner is....

Good morning....

I am finally home and I came home to
a wonderful surprise.
All new storage for my scrap goodies and a clean
scrap room to boot!!

I wanted to share for those of you whom
have emailed me and asked and congratulated.
Yes, it's TRUE! I am on the New CRICUT CIRCLE Design Team
I was so honored to be asked and am very excited
with this new fantastic endeavor!
Thanks for all the emails, I was surprised it was public LOL

I have a couple shout outs to my friends at CHA.
They touched my heart...
this is what Betsy and Merlene
made for me and brought to me while
I was working, they were so sweet.

And this is what Karen *LadyDoc* did.
She was telling me about the Scrapbooking Royalty
Charity (we love them) and she told me
if I donated 1.00 I would get all the pins...
a while later she came back and had donated 1.00 in my
name and I received all the pins...*AWWWW*
I went back to donate the gesture was so sweet!

On the last night of CHA I met some amazing
people, do you know Katie Cotton??
She is the owner of Paper Makeup Stamps
*How cute is that name?!!*

Oh she is not only adorable but so kind and
she passed me some stamps to giveaway!

They are unmounted rubber stamps that are so cute!
