Ok, Some how I forgot to post this to my blog.  Here is the RCAD#5, the one based upon a Dragonfly ATC I made for a swap.  You will see, I stayed true to the ATC (Artist trading card) idea and enjoyed the process of turning it into an RCAD.

Enjoy the video!

 

 

Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

 

 

Welcome to Rolodex card a day #7

 

  Today’s  card was outside of my comfort zone, in as much as I am not a great “line” drawing person.  I do admire those of you who can draw, look at paper and see a coffee cup, or just add amazing texture and wonderful (heart touching) sentiments to your projects.

 

  I wanted to celebrate how special I feel when I am behind my desk.  Just coming into our basement, where my craft area is located, makes me happy. Stamping has brought me joy since 2002 when my friend, Karen showed me what she made.  She was a Stampin’ Up, demonstrator back then and once I had a stamp in my hand I was hooked.

 

  While trying to find my bakers twine today, I was cleaning off a few shelves in anticipation of the arrival of my new dies, I had a glass from a top shelf fall down and break, I screeched in panic, and within seconds Chad was down here to make sure I was ok, offer any assistance.  I feel blessed to know he rushed to my aide.  He helped clean up the broken glass and even helped me get things back into order.

 

  I hope you like this RCAD.  Please any suggestions, or comments email them, or send me a private message on You Tube.  Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

 

 

Today’s RCAD should have been 5, but I didn’t think it fair to call it #5.  I threw away RCAD #5 (or try at one) and started over in a completely different direction. 

 

I hope you will enjoy the video and I will show pictures again when the piece is completely dry.  I added a coat of glossy accents over he main pieces to finish it.

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend, Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

 

 

Got to admit, this isn’t my favorite, it is a bit busy, I tried to tone things down with some shadows and not really sure if the butterfly will be staying there., chances are, it is not.

 

I’ve enjoyed some crafty time today and will be getting my new stove tomorrow!  Yay!  I’m sure I’ll have many years of great meals!

I hope you are all doing well!  Enjoy the video!  Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

Happy Wednesday!

 

  It has been yet another beautiful day!  I am so thankful to be able to get out of doors and enjoy the weather.  In today’s adventures I went to our small international market.

  This market has the best produce in town, it is inexpensive and easy to navigate.  If you are a “big box” grocery store type of person, you may not like this store.  It is a converted old grocery store, it doesn’t have the best lighting and the floors are not all shiny.  It is a simple market, with simple prices and yummy produce.

 

  I restocked our refrigerator with the yummy goodness and I am sure we will enjoy those!

 

 Not only have I now learned a bit more about trimming out scenes or parts of scenes that do not need to be in the video, but I managed to flip the video itself so that it is right side up for you guys.  I love when I figure out new things.

 

 

  I hope you will give these Art cards a chance.  This one took me nearly 2 hours to complete all total.  I should take my own advice and let go of some of the perfectionism.

 

  Have a great day, Stamp Happy!  Be a blessing, and always be kind to one another!

 

With Love,
