~After Christmas Crafting Begins ♥~

Good morning my amazingly talented crafty friends!

Between crafting for CHA, the new catalogs and other commitments

I nearly forgot to make thank you cards from Christmas this year

so I sat down yesterday and started the process.

I love sitting down and scrapping for the ones I love, the ones I know

will appreciate my card, it makes it so much fun!

Really I just used scraps for the entire card, and

the new Couture Core'dinations cardstock, it's that pre-glittered yellow.

I don't have alot today because I have a tutorial on Clear Scraps today,

a Blog Hop and FUN project on Imaginisce Saturday...

fun new reveals for Clear Scraps this month

*trust me when I say you will be blown away*

Another Blog Hop on the 4th of January with awesome prizes and

a blog hop for Samantha Walker on the second Wednesday of January.

So please stay tuned and come back this week!

I have my wonderful family home today so I better get back to being

a mom and cook and maid LOL

~Happy Thursday~

~Fun With PINKY!~

Good morning all you crafty peeps out there!

I was up at 2 and 3 am with my boy, so at 4:30 I decided...

why not just stay up and craft this morning ♥

Since Imaginisce is having their "Enchanted" release party this week

I thought it would be fun to use the Enchanted line to make

a hanger for my crafty room.

I don't have any girls, but I am pretty sure I am one ♥

So every piece of Enchanted goes straight to me!

I had been wanting to make a new door hanger for a while now

and I love me some birds...(yes I am on a bird kick)

So I grabbed my Clear Scraps Chipboard bird, my Cricut Expression

and my Sentimentals cartridge, my stickles and went to town!

I used the butterfly wings and cut them in half from the Sentimentals cartridge.

Of course I used plenty of tulle♥

Alot of Glue Arts Glue, a dab of Mod Podge,

some vintage lace and here it is! :)

I am so excited to hang it in my crafty room today.

I wonder if i can stay awake long enough to admire it LOL.

Oh and remember that fabulous card I told you about yesterday?

Here it is...isn't is amazing?! I ♥ it so much. And she left it blank for

me to give to someone special.

I think I will send it to Dolores for her

friend with Cancer. What a wonderful way to send some love.

Thanks so much Chris!

Don't forget...every FRIDAY Clear Scraps has a giveaway!

~It's the 1st again! Time for prizes and sketch challenge!~

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!

It is the first, I am so happy November has arrived.

For me it means that family time, baking, nights with friends,

warm parties, and cookies for all the neighbors...well that time has arrived.

I drove my son to school this morning and we chatted about

our annual Christmas party and how we will celebrate Thanksgiving

while we watched the orange and red leaves blow across the road.

*Perfectly lovely*

We had a very rough Halloween (which is why I did not blog)

My youngest son was VERY sick and I was home all night with

him on his little nebulizer machine. BUT when I thought it was

just going to feel down, my friend unexpectedly showed up

bringing with her a DOOR, and a bag of candy so my youngest could

reverse Trick Or Treat,

it was so sweet and made him so happy. *YEA*

♥ We are very blessed in the Hobbs house ♥

Ok on to the crafty goodness that awaits.

As you know Imaginisce has a sketch challenge EVERY MONTH!

WOOHOO~

This is the sketch by Melinda Spinks

And here is my take on it, using the new line from Imaginisce

Enchanted *oh la la*

Do you see these cool clear pearls?

Want to know how I attached them?

I use the Ribbon Adhesive from Glue Arts and let me tell

you it was AWESOME!!!!!! No more hot glue for me on pages

and no more clumpy messes! I just stuck it down and it was straight

and perfect...thank YOU Glue Arts for my new pearl adhesive!

I really just wanted to keep it all about the photos, simple

and sweet with enough pink to make it fun!

I am not a big sketch chickita banana, but I had fun and it

gave me something to do besides sit with the sick little man :)

Ok PRIZES!!!!!!!!!

You know that Imaginisce gives away prize packages too!

~Hello Saturday, Have You Been Enchanted Yet?!~

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the wee-kend, hello my wee-kend, it's my happy dance!

Today we are off to help a friend move *good times*

It is so fun when a friend moves closer to ya.

Ok I am MORE than excited this week.

You know I am not a girly girl scrapper but I have been looking

forward to the new line from Imaginisce "Enchanted"....

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I LOVE IT!

I was struggling then I got to thinking...why not make a page

for my own book? I have a great album for this.

My friend Dolores had a huge heart on her page the other day

so I called her up and said "I am stealing your idea for a page,

it goes perfectly with my new PINK line of paper"

of course she was super cool about it.

I even grabbed my sewing machine to play some more with it.

This layout is not only soft and subtle but I can see it for any girl!

Oh and the journaling? It is the border stickers cut up!

LOVE those border stickers, so versatile!

Oh and quick tip for my tulle...I used the Ribbon Adhesive from

Glue Arts and it was a snap! I have had issues with my ribbon

and glue bleeding through and yellowing later on, so I tried the Glue

Arts ribbon glue and it worked PERFECTLY!

*no they did not pay me to say it LOL I just love it*

Supplies Used:

Imaginisce Enchanted paper and embellishments

Glue Arts Extreme Glue & Ribbon Adhesive

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro

Tulle with white dots (1.99 at Hobby lobby)

Sewing machine with white thread

Thickers (American Crafts)

Stickles *many colors*

Cricut for the PERFECT heart!

That is it for me today, I am off to watch people move heavy boxes LOL

I am not totally useless though, I did bake and get food ready. *wink*

~Happy Saturday everyone!~

~Have a great day and THANK YOU for stopping by~
