I wanna be a star!
Our finances are not where I can afford a video camera as of yet, but I’m hoping that within the next three weeks I will be able to add video to my blogs as well. I’m also looking into some of those side show programs so I can upload some of my card and scrapbooking creations for you to enjoy!
Happy Sunday!
I had a few requests for a ‘new card’ and here is one I did (I am submitting this one for possible publication), I call him ‘sleepy guy’ and here is the recipe:
Stamps: Yawning Critter – house mouse, sentiment – unknown
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black
Paper: blue card base and patterned scrapbooking paper
Instructions:
Blue card base measures 5 ½ X 4 ¼” finished. Distressed blue card stock measures 5 ¼” X 4”, the stripped piece measures 1 ½” X 4”. Stamp mouse in graphite black brilliance ink onto white card stock that measures 2 ¾ X 2 ¼”and heat set, color with copic markers. Layer this onto a darker blue card stock piece that measures 3”X 2 ¾”.
Layer stripped paper onto bottom, stamp ‘best wishes onto circle that is 1 ¼” layer as shown. Embellish with ribbon.
Remember, feel free to CASE my work, but don’t submitt it for publication
I’m thinking of starting some ‘paper crafting’ classes in my home to generate some extra income, (which will probally pay for oh lets say more stamps — lol). Oh I am so addicted.
For todays blog candy addiction I am adding an Inkadinkado clear stamp set it is set #93621, it has travel theme and a prety ‘bridal’ type dress, I’ll scan it tomorrow for you to see.
That’s all for today. Please join my Vacation/Summer theme card swap. I still need players, if I don’t get some more players by tomorrow I’ll have to cancel the swap. That would be sad!
Happy Stamping!
Friday the 13th — No fears, just good cheer!
I’m really excited to have a little sister who is expecting her second child, a little boy in September. I love buying baby things and making baby cards!
I’m happy to report that I did get some stamping time in with my friend Theresa today, it is always nice to have friends to ‘play’ with!
Stamp Happy!
Yawn and Strech and try to come to life!

Before I get to the barrett, let me tell you about the ‘title’ of today’s blog!
I’m sorry for no post yesterday, the day kinda got away, I got alot done around the house and finished my chores up this morning so I can have some crafty time tonight and again tomorrow with my friend Theresa.
I had a wonderful call this afternoon from an old friend, we’ll get back in touch on Monday, I’m so excited! She is even going to treat me to lunch!
Ok, now onto day’s ‘experiment/project’. I had origionally made some barrettes for a butterfly swap on SCS. I liked the way they came out and have posted them here on the blog. However, my dear (enabler) husband suggested putting the butterfly on a twig. Umm, I haven’t gotten my hot glue gun out in a while. I started with the barrette, I then hotglued all the laywers on until I was satisfied with the layout, then I used some of the butterfly pins I had already made and pined them to the barrette, this way they look like they are in flight. I must tell you I did a ‘survey’ at my Wal-mart of folks and about 95% (short hair or not) would buy them. If you would like one, free shipping they are $12.00/each. You tell me the color(s) you want, I’ll get them out to you!
If you have an opportunity, please check out the Just Cards Magazine, Volume 10, Summer 2008 issue. I have cards published on pages 76,104 and 106. It never gets old, I’m just so excited!
The ‘cash’ portion of the blog candy pot is now $20.00. I will now include one of these beautiful barrettes. So far the pot has die cut flowers, the money, and the hair clip. Please leave comments and enjoy my blog. Any blog suggesstions, (good or bad) are appreciated.
Happy Stamping,
