Here is the first set of picture’s from the re-do of my craft area, please see part two for the actual post of today’s project and more on blog candy.
Part One — Stamp Happy!
For Melissa — altered gifts for her birthday — blog candy!
For the start of blog candy I am giving away one of these jumbo paper clips in your choice of colors and if possible your name. More blog candy will follow. So please stay tuned. You may leave comments any where on my blog. Please link my blog to your’s so every one knows about this fun give away.

Today is April 23, 2010, and blog candy will end on May 12, in honor of my Mother’s birthday.

Melissa, my niece turned 14 yesterday. I had totally forgotten the date, and was still working on these projects. I was able to speak with her briefly to let her know these will most likely go postal tomorrow. I teasingly asked if she still loved purple, I was so glad she said “yes”. The truth be known it is probally my absolute
most disliked colors. So working with the deep purples did present a bit of a challenge.

I hope that you can see the details of the small clip board. Every indivudal page of the notepad is stamped. There is stamping on the background papers and ribbon and flowers adorn the crown or clip part of the project. In order to hide the stark bright metal, I covered it with fabric.

Of course I am re-posting a picture of the tag book I made several weeks ago all three of these terrific projects will be her’s by the first of next week.
A gift for Barb — lots of pictures!

I know that since I have started getting older and some what falling apart, that true friendships are hard to find. My best friend is Barb. She is considerablly older than I and has such a fun and wonderful personality.
**
No matter what is happening in my life, from joy to tears to fear, I can count on a listening ear, a hug when I need it and laughter that soothes even the dullest of days.

With the economy being in the state it currently is in, I think it is necessary, ok required that we as American Citizens embrase the sentimentality of reduce, reuse and recycle.

Today’s projects all use scraps from my big box of scrap materials. I even used plastic recycled from my nestabilities for the ghosts shapes in this project.

Most of this project is very easy and I’d rate it from 1 being easy to 5 being hard as a solid 2. It is only a matter of waiting around for things (glitter glue and paint) to dry.

I kept in mind that Barb’s favorite color is blue. I used an alphabet letter purchased from the craft store for the big initial and a large jumbo paper clip for her name. The letters on the name paperclip are from stampin up, manufactured by sizzix and is known as serif essentials.

Here is to you my dear friend Barb, thank you for just being you.

Stamp Happy and many blessings to you all!
Another pretty butterfly card
I used a sketch from mojo monday sketches. I love the way the pink and yellow work together.
Today is a short post, I am trying to finish up the laundry and my housework so I can have a guilt free stamp day tomorrow.
On a side note, I am not at all happy with the changes Stampin up is making to their color families and am very disappointed that the yo-yo yellow and many of the other classic colors are no longer going to be available.
Have a great Sunday. Stamp Happy!
