Hello my crafty friends…. I’m hoping you had a great weekend… I had a super busy weekend. I spent yesterday at SU OnStage here in San Diego such a nice day with my crafty peeps. I have to admit the new Annual Catalog will blow you away some really great stamp sets coming your way. I had the best plans today and you know how that goes right. I planed my day to go workout at this new club called Orange Theory and then I was going into the Office to catch up on some work well that didn’t work out because the server was down what a bummer…. I then decided to come home and just finish up a few projects in the haven. This evening I’m playing over on the CASology blog cue word is Icing.
I had no idea what to create I went through my stash until an idea popped in my head… I used the LF Baked with Love set and colored my images with several copic markers. I wanted to create a bakery window display so I used the Flirty frames die to make a window and used the Tim Holtz brick stencil and softly blended with clarity brushes to give me a background. Alright friends hope you like my take on the cue word.. I’m out have a great week my crafty friends.

Hello my crafty friends…… I’ve been playing with paper quite a bit this week. I created a Birthday card for my Boss with a new technique for me marbling……. It was super cool. I have a quick post this evening for yah! I actually created this card earlier but I used craft cardstock instead wasn’t sure about the effect so I recreated it on Neenah Solar white… I pulled out a few copic markers and went to town coloring that cross. I knew the look I wanted I masked off the cross to create those soft rays with So Saffron ink.
Hope you like my take on the challenge over at The Paper Players this week the theme is Easter……. which is just a few days away…….. Well my friends I’m off to Stampin Up On Stage event this Saturday so I don’t know how much crafting I’ll get done this weekend. Hopefully I’ll get to play just a little……….

Oh what a beautiful morning! Hello my crafty friends I’m feeling somewhat better this morning I didn’t wake up with the dreaded headache that’s been plaguing me all week. I don’t think I can take any more sinus medication……… I’m playing this morning over on the CASology blog and this weeks cue word is TEXT. I knew exactly what I wanted to create but for some reason plan A didn’t happen the way I like you know how that is right. So onto plan B.
I went deep into the crafty confines of my haven and pulled out The SSS Floral Bookmarking stamp set and Woot! the perfect Text appeared before my eyes….. I stamped the sentiment in my Misti stamping tool
to get the perfect alignment. I then used the die set to cut out the flower and leaves to make a stencil. I’m in love with stenciling lately….. I used a few distress inks to blend the flower and leaves onto the sentiment. It’s one of my favorite quotes. I just love when you get what your looking for in your creation. I will say this one came together rather nicely. I do hope you like my take on this weeks cue word.

Hello my crafty friends……. It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here in So. California. It’s been a great weekend so far. I’ve been doing what I love most crafting all weekend long. I went to Susan’s card class yesterday and today I’m off to Shannon’s card class this afternoon. It’s good times for sure just sitting around chit-chatting with crafty friends. What a life! I’m actually going to get a few challenges in this weekend yippee this girl love’s herself some challenges. You know me my favorite is Freshly Made Sketches. I’m playing along this week with Rita’s sketch and this one was a bit of a challenge for me hint, hint note challenge.
A few weeks ago I saw a card made by Amy Rysavy on her blog she talked about using things that’s in her stash. I CASed her card a little and decided to go deep into my stash. I think what I like most was her use of a stencil….
Here we go I pulled out the Simon Says Stamp Bouquet of Flowers Stencil. I then blended my distress inks Spun Sugar, picked Raspberry and Festive berries for the Tulips onto a Neenah Solar White cardstock. The leaves was blended with Shabby shutters and mowed lawn. I used the Altenew Thanks stamp set for my sentiment and some sequins from my stash of Lucy’s Little Things Rose Gold.
Crafty Supplies:
Stamp: Altenew Many Thanks
Paper: Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi (SU)
Ink: Hero Arts Intense Black
