Happy TGIF eve!….. yeah! It seems like a long week to me work is great. I’m finding my groove at the new job………. I’m 5 weeks in and it’s been an exciting and very demanding few weeks. I’m back into the groove of things and I’m getting back on track of working on my goals that I have for myself…. I’ll let you in on the secret in a few weeks. This evening I decided to tag along over on the Tag You’re It blog I haven’t played this one in a while. I pulled out that cute Hey Chick set by “Stamp in Up” I think those are the coolest chicks I’ve ever seen……….
I stamped the image on Neenah Solar White cardstock with MFT Black Licorice ink. The tag was cut with a Lil Inker Designs Stitched Tags die. I colored the chick with copic markers. I wanted the chick to look like he was standing behind a wired fence so I masked off my chick and lightly stenciled the honeycomb background using my clarity stencil brush with a Smokey shadow ink from Paper Trey Ink. I then put some of the ink on a clear stamp block and mist it a little to get the ink platters on the tag. I used various May Arts ribbon the red I wanted to give it a straggly look to mimic the chicks straggly hair. Hope you like my take on the inspiration tag.
Crafty Supplies:
Stamp Set: Hey Chick (SU) Sale-A-Bration
Ink: Smokey Shadow (Paper Trey Ink)
Accessories: Various May Arts Ribbons
Tools: Big Shot, AnyTime Tags Die Set 2 (Lil Inker Designs), Clear Stamp Block,

Hello my crafty friends, I’m super excited I had the opportunity this weekend to play a lot in the haven. I’m back this evening playing over on the CAS(E) this Sketch blog. My design is pretty simple based on the sketch. I knew exactly what stamp set I wanted to use. I pulled out the Altenew Bamboo Rose set and stamped the images in MFT Black Licorice ink, I then used various copic markers to color the images. I decided on red roses with a little shimmer. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. There you have it a pretty simple CAS design.

Happy Sunday my crafty friends I need a weekend makeover is it possible. I’m starting my fourth week at my new job and last Wednesday I felt the effects of being on a new job everything seems surreal. My security blanket is gone life is definitely different. I love the new job lot’s to learn. I had the opportunity to play a little in the haven this morning and it felt great. I’m playing over on the CASology blog and the cue word this week is Glisten. I wanted the theme to be sending my love. I purchased a envelope from the Silhouette Design store and cut it out of vellum. I used a stitched heart die to cut the heart out of red glimmer paper and I printed my sentiment from a font in Microsoft word called Laurenscript. Hope you like my take on this week’s cue word.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), Bazzill Vellum, Red Glimmer (SU)

Happy Sunday my crafty friends….. It’s been raining here in So. Cal all evening. I spent sometime in the haven working on a few cards. I need my crafty mojo back. Im playing over on the CASology blog this evening for the life of me I was drawing a blank on what to create………I’m missing my crafty mojo…. here’s what I came up with… I pulled out the MFT Abstract Heart die my first thought was to do a little ink smooshing. All my pieces stayed in the die so there went the ink smooshing idea. My next thought maybe I’ll do a little ink blending in order for this to work I had to pull out the old Press & Seal…… awesomeness it worked like a charm… So here’s my take on the sketch! Hope you like.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb)
Stamp: SSS You
Ink: Festive Berries, Barn Door, Candied Apple Distress Inks, Versafine Onyx Black Ink
