~More Acrylic Fun (Card making)~

Good morning my friends,

As you may know I LOVE sewing, in fact that is how I got into

crafting, I was sewing every day and paper crafting

seemed to be the next step. I was very excited when Clear Scraps sent

me these brand new Sewing Embellishments!!

I love the little sewing machine, how adorable is it??!

I used alcohol inks on it, then I sprinkled it with glitter.

You know if you sprinkle it while it's wet it acts like an adhesive.

So much going on this week....be sure to check back.

Thursday we have a special blog hop for Clear Scraps, you can

enter to win their new Send It Clear goodies....plus so much more

with CHA right around the corner...and some good news coming too!

Have a great Tuesday my friends....

~Super FUN 2012 New Releases!!~

Ohhhhhhh good morning!

I am super excited this week because I finally get to

share projects I have been working on for months now!

Well Clear Scraps anyways *wink* I have a couple other

companies coming soon too.

Anyways Clear Scraps has all new lines this year,

this is JUST ONE of the many new designs!!!!

This Mini Dragonfly album (I LOVE dragonflies!) that I embossed

and inked. I used Teal StazOn to ink it and coffee alcohol inks

to stain the rest.

I ran it through my embossing folders, then used Copper Stickles.

I also used Viva Decor Pearl pens in Bronze on some of the pages.

What I ended up doing was printing a poem about dragonflies onto

paper and trimming it to fit in the dragonfly. I am going to

give this as a pick me up mini book to a friend.

You can see on the wings above I heat embossed it and curled the wings.

And on this last one I stained it with alcohol inks then used the

pearl pen to dot along the wings. Really I just had fun with it and I love it.

I have so much more to share so stay tuned my friends~♡♡♡♡

Happy Monday~

~Spellbinders GIVEAWAY!~

Good morning my friends,

I am late this morning for a couple reasons...

#1 SNOW DAY and not a lick of snow to be seen LOL

#2 I am sick...I swear being at the hospital & dentist this week gave

me super germs LOL I fell asleep and forgot to blog.

BUT it's Friday and I have a fun GIVEAWAY.

I have this cool set of Sepllbinders dies to GIVE away to one lucky

blog follower! :)

I am super excited because I just received some dies and they look

so fun, so I thought I would give a set away too.

So leave a comment and be sure to FOLLOW my blog...

Happy Friday the 13th!!

~Sassy Little Cards~

Good morning my friends,

Happy Thursday! Can you believe we are deep into January already?

I am always eager to try new tools but this one sadly sat in my craft room for

like 3 months! LOL Can you believe it? My Stamp It From Purple Cows!!

I had wanted to use it but never found the right time, and it was so

fun I wish I had gotten it out earlier! I thought for Valentine's Day I

would make my girlfriends sassy little cards.

I used my Purple Cows Stamp It Tool for the stamping, and

the rest is Momenta card stock and Sassy Stickers!

The Stamp It is like a little stamping machine, it sticks your paper

into place with magnets, then it stamps around the edges and borders.

I LOVE how easy it is because I suck at stamping!!

AND I love these Sassy Stickers too! LOL

That's it for me today, we had an amazing Bunco last night,

new and old friends and so much laughing,

we were up until 10:30 just chatting away. Next time I will

have to grab pictures....we were so busy I completely forgot.

Until next time....thanks for popping by! Love you all~

I really just wanted to have fun and get funky....you know it sort

of fit my style and personality LOL I have a strange range.

For this layout I used the Harvest Moon Mega Kit which is also on sale.

~Kids Crafts-Laminating Fun~

Good morning my crafty friends....

I had a fun project this weekend with my boys, well my one boy LOL

He came to me Sunday and said "Mom I have a project due, we need to

go to the store and get poster board and go get it laminated and I need clovers too"

HUH?? LOL Really?? I just had oral surgery kid LOL

Thankfully I had my handy dandy laminator from Purple Cows,

And the extra long 20" laminating sheets, along with some sturdy cardstock.

I was tickled pink about it because it meant I could stay home.

I grabbed my Purple Cows Laminator, Purple Cows trimmer,

green cardstock, laminating sheets, crayons and markers

and let him go crazy.

Pretty cute right???! :)

Anyways it was a lifesaver, totally handy to have one on hand

especially if you are a teacher or have kids.

Now....COME BACK TOMORROW! I have a special blog hop

and 2 projects to share...also Thursday I have 2 projects to share.

~Weekend Recovery & New 2012 Page!!~

Good morning my amazingly talented friends!!

What a weekend for Miss Pinky...let me tell you what...BUT first

I have a layout to share....and guess what???

It is the FIRST layout from the new January kit on Tally!

No one has this kit yet, I snuck enough out for me to play.

It will be ready in 2 days!! :) WOOT! I love this kit, it's all about

preserving those memories in style...it is called

"Memories In Style" and it has the new Canvas Corp papers

plus some Tim Holtz goodies and so much more.

I love ringing in a new year and starting fresh, with fresh open eyes

looking back on all the lessons from the year before.

2011 was good but 2012 will be amazing!!!

My boys are forming great friendships, we are getting back into church,

so many blessing have come our way already, even through the hard times.

Soooo....2012 HERE I COME! Now stay tuned for the kit too! :)

Ok on to this weekend....

Last week I was not feeling very well, did not know why but I felt so sick,

Thursday my jaw started hurting and by Thursday night I was in so much

pain I cried for about 10 hours, it was just awful....Friday hubby took the day

off and we went in, they sent us to the dentist who sent us to have emergency

root canal....it took 5 hours. I was so worn out. Thankfully my gf

Lesley was so sweet and took my little men, while I was away.

It was quite an experience, last time I was at the dentist I went to the

ER in an ambulance so I am not a dental friendly woman LOL

(Hayley & I)

Anyways on Saturday I was still hopped up on drugs and feeling oozy but

how could I miss an opportunity to head out to BINGO with my friends

Lindy, Hayley, and Jennifer. Remember I told ya'll about Lindy from

the Cancer video. Anyways I made myself perty and headed out.

(Lindy and I)

Now mind you I have NEVER played Bingo before.

I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I found myself a shiny pink

dauber and I had a ball with the girls! :)

I came home at midnight because it was in Kentucky and we

went out afterwards, it was a blast, cannot wait to do it again.

It really made up for my awful weekend! :)

Then to top it off I found this Ice Cream and I have been looking

for months!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!! :) Cannot wait to try it.

I have to wait because my mouth is still killing me.

Ok ok enough life chitty chat right? LOL
