Altered Clipboard project

The pictures of the slightly over the top clip bard will be going to my DSS little sister. Her first name starts with an “A”, so I incorporated her initial into the project.

She also loves pink. I used different shades of pink and DSCW patterned paper to complete this project.

I was not able to make the Allentown show. My health was not good over the weekend. Even though I have started some new medications, my cold still seems to linger. I am very thankful to have the loving support of a great husband and family.

This week I have completed 18 total cards for three different swaps. I hope to get this package postal in the next few days.

Have a wonderful day. Stamp Happy!

What women want

Hello my crafty friends!

Unless something drastic happens, I will be working with Judith.
Here is the link to the Allentown, Pennsylvania Show. Please stop by and say hello if you are attending this great event.

Personally, I have a shopping list that I plan to take with me. I’m super excited. This show offers a great opportunity to meet other crafty folks as well as enjoy a day out.

The Sugar Nellie image on the card above is colored with copic markers. I used a sketch from this websight as the basic layout for the card. I hope you enjoy the fresh spring colors.

Stamp Happy!

Grand time at the Grand canyon and the WINNER IS ….

The winner of blog candy is:

Mary G. Even I get excited when I pull the name out of the hat. Mary I already have your address and hope that I can get your goodies postal this week. Please post a picture of them on your blog, as the tag book is not going to be posted here, that way every one can see it!

We had a TERRIFIC time at the Grand Canyon this week! I am happy to be home and ready to get some rest. My allergies are driving me crazy.

I also received the materials I need to finish (I hope) the process of unmounting stamps. To date I have unmounted about oh I’d have to guess but at least 500 + stamps.

My allergies are driving me crazy. I hope that they will settle down soon!

Happy Easter!

Thinking of you

Hello friends,
**
Today among some other projects I am currently working on, I decided to make this “thinking of you” card for the birthday club swap on Splitcoaststampers. I had a really nice time picking out the shades of green and coloring this adorable image with my copic markers. This stamp is manufactured by Sugar Nellie Stamps.
***
I own many of the stamps made by this company and they are precious images and so much fun to color.
***
I have had a productive day, stamping and managing to get about 70% of our laundry finished. I put the kids to work vacuuming. Chad thinks we should change his name to “Cinderfella”. As punishment for his recent lack of attention to detail (He was dragging his hands over walls and doors) he was given a medium sized bowl of warm water and good old fashioned “Mr. Clean” and a nice clean wash rag. He then started in his room and had to wash every wall down that had hand prints, or smuges. If the job was not done to my satisfaction it had to be re-done. It only took a couple of re-do’s for him to pay attention to detail.
***
I hate to admitt, the fresh clean smell of the cleaner makes me want to make up another batch and have him do the baseboards. Who knows a little more punishment to fit the crime is in order.
***
I challenge each of you to take some time this weekend to do something creative just for yourselves. Enjoy a nice book, stamp or scrabook or what ever hobby makes for a happier you. Have a great evening and Stamp Happy!

Dolled out in green!

Hey friends!

Today is very cold and dreary. It partially accounts for my funky mood. I really hate even getting out of bed on a day like this, but there is stamping to be done.

To my credit I did wash a load of clothes and straighten out the family room. This evening we enjoyed Crab legs, I figure that the broccli cut out any calories from the butter sauce.

***

This project does not have an acetate front and back, simply because I forgot to put them on. I cut them and forgot them. How goofy is that?

***

I am looking forward to an evening filled with a family movie and pop corn.

***

Have a great evening. I will be adding to the “candy pot” soon, so please continue to leave those wonderful comments. Stamp Happy!
