Moccasin Class!

OK, so I know it isn't paper craft but I took a moccasin class the past 2 weeks. This is the first one. I am going to finish the second one this weekend and also have a pair on the go for my ds. This is the leather and fur Madi picked out for her pair. I am using the same leather plus some grey fur and dark beads for my sonshine. I think Madi is pretty excited. Luckily she will get a new pair as her feet get bigger and I will be better at making them too. I am also hoping to get lessons on mukluks, and I think they should go OK as the whole base is the first step in the process...

Thanks so much for coming by. I will have more paper crafts for you this weekend. Scrap club tomorrow night so I will post our projects, plus some Valentines for the kids! Even though it is something different I would still love to know what you think!

Happy happy Birthday, baby!

I am so sorry I have not posted anything for a bit. I was sick this week with some bit f flu and I was in bed the better part of the week. I Did get a chance to sit down with my dd and stamp on Friday after dodgeball though. I have to send my oldest her bday stuff. I can't believe she is 19! Ifeel so old! :( Oh well...

This set is from MFT. It is perfect for her as she is always talking about rawr and dinosaur and has her email and usernames for things with variations. I think she will like it! She moved back to Edmonton a couple of weeks ago and I still have not gotten her mailing address yet. Kids! Oh well, I will get it off this week and all should be good.

Thanks so much for coming by! Cross your fingers for me as I qualified to win a trip to see Sugarland in Texas and the draw is tomorrow... I really am hoping to get a call tomorrow morning! Take care and see you all soon!

With Sympathy

I kind of feel bad for this card. I made it a couple weeks ago as I felt that it seemed right. The bad part is that I hadn't thought I needed it. Sadly my Mom's elderly neighbour had a terrible accident this weekend and passed away. I ended up giving her the card to give to Magda's family, who she is also friends with. It is just so terrible that I am so sad about it. Magda had an accident in the bath and ended up scalded so badly. After that it is really unclear what transpired. I just truly hope she didn't suffer horribly. She was such a wonderful lady!

So anyways, thanks so much for coming by today. I am hoping I will be able to post a few things this weekend, but tomorrow is a loss as I have to work all day then go work a fundraiser bingo for hockey... Take care and happy crafting!

Funky Birthday

I had received some beaded ribbon in a swap a while ago. I just love it! I have never used it before on cards but I think it turned out pretty awesome! I used some funky DP from my stash of way to much! :) The image is close to my heart from I believe You've got flair. Anyways, it was my first time using that set. It isn't too detailed but has a bit of a flair about it!

Thanks so much for coming by and I will see you soon!

Card Club project #2

I was struggling with these colors for some time which is weird, but I turfed 2 projects because I just hated them. I finally decided I was going to use my lovely as a tree and thought these trees would be lovely against black. I don't have vanilla kraft ink so I used my whisper white. I added some black satin ribbon and a spash of red to set it off. I love how it turned out!

Thanks for coming by today. As always I would love any feedback you have. I don't have too busy a weekend other than club tonight so it should be nice. Take care!

Oldies But Goodies DIVA blog hop!!!

Welcome to the Oldies But Goodies!!! If you came to me from Karen's blog you are on the right track! If not please start at Sue's Blog and see all the great creations!

My card is doing a bit of double duty for me this time. My set I used is one I have not used in ages and I probably got it a few years back. I really was surprised to see it still a current set in the Stampin Up! catalogue! So the rules for the hop were simply this:

"The idea for this hop is to create a card, scrapbook page or 3D item using any of your stamps/supplies that are at least 6 months old. Any and all company’s products are allowed…….No restrictions. Please do your best work and be proud of what you create."

I am pretty happy with my project! I am actually also using it for one of the projects at our stamp club gathering n Friday. So if any club members come by, you get a sneak peek at one of the projects! :)

Now you get to continue along on the fun to Ching's Blog to see what she is sharing! The entire blog list with links is below...

Thanks so much for popping by on the hop today!!! I hope you are enjoying yourself and please leave me feedback!! See you soon!

I made a couple of these cards with the scraps I had from my last scrapbook club. This one is 6x3 and I really like how it turned out. I used the flower from the three little words SU! set and some lace edging. The colors I believe are cherry cobbler, old olive, baja breeze. I used my scallop edge punch and popped up the scalloped circle with dimensionals.

Thanks so much for coming by and I love to read your feedback! Take care and see you soon!
