Hand dyed seam binding for swap

Hello my friends!

Candace and I are doing a one on one swap this month with seam binding. I purchased my seam binding from Amazon.

I used a few various mediums to color the seam binding. Copic refills, re inkers, Lindsay’s stamp gang, and much more. For details, please watch the video below.

I hope you are all doing well. Stay warm, be kind and stamp happy!

Swap Projects for February — with video Blog and pictures!

It is snowing here. The mere word “snow” should be banned or considered a dirty “four letter word”. I’m so ready for the weather to warm up. I love to have a Spring and Summer garden and the ground is just too wet from all the snow to even consider starting to plant for a couple more months.

I am participating in a “Pick 3” type swap. This is an on-line group I just joined and until I have a few swaps under my belt I have to participate in the “newbie” swaps. I don’t really mind this, and am looking forward to the lovely creations others make.

Enjoy this video blog with still pictures of the projects at the end.

I hope that you are all safe and warm. I think I’ll make a nice salad for lunch, fix a cup of tea and continue to enjoy some crafty time.

Stamp happy. Be kind to one another. BE a blessing!

ATC (Artist Trading Cards) for Online-Swaps

In the Video slide show these are facing the correct direction. For what ever reason when I uploaded them here to blogger, they had not corrected and no matter what I have tried, they still won’t seem to stay in the proper orientation.

Speaking of orientation, I’ve been on bit of a cleaning streak. Don’t worry, nothing overly strenuous, but I’ve gotten things accomplished. I purchased a new LG (didn’t even know LG made them) vacuum cleaner. The darned thing pretty much runs itself. Oh what a joy. Who knew you could love a vacuum cleaner.

I was able to speak with one of my Father’s brother’s daughter tonight. What a joy to re-connect with her after about 20 years ago. Her son is 23 now and is in Florida. It was a treasure troth of information for which I was not only grateful, but at times shocked.

I hope you will enjoy the short video showing these ATC’s and please don’t forget that I am still hosting an 800+ subscriber give away on my you tube channel. I will close the drawing on the 28th and plan to do a drawing on March 5. Don’t hesitate to get in on this drawing.

You can see this video for full details:

I hope you will enjoy the video slide show of some of the ATC cards I have made in February. Stamp happy always be kind and be a blessing.

Also, be fearless in your testimony to tell others about Jesus. I posted a short clip about the rapture (The return of Jesus) and my “friends” on Facebook (I had over 900) dropped by half. Sometimes the truth may not be what people want to hear. However, I strongly believe that his plan and purpose for us who believe is to show it in our daily lives and proclaim him the best we can.

Dryer Sheet Dispenser — made from a Baby Wipe Container

Hello my crafty friends. Here is one of the projects I made for myself. Here is the story behind the project.

As many of you know we have three small dogs. One is only four months old and well, chews on everything. I didn’t know that a box of dryer sheets had fallen to the floor and she had the box. Miss Abby with that sweet little face was totally busted.

She hadn’t consumed the dryer sheets or the box, just chewed it to the extent the box was destroyed.

Now I have a pile of dryer sheets and option one, just stick them in a baggie or stick them on the top of the dryer.

I notice over on the folding table an empty never used baby wipe container and had a “light bulb” moment. First I tested to see if the baby wipes would fit and actually “pop” up from the container. SCORE.

Then, of course (in my crafty ways) I had to decorate it, so when it sits on the washer/dryer and no one would confuse it for something else.

Here is a slide show of the project. I hope you’ll give something like this a try. Next up, a beverage dispenser (like for lemon aid or iced tea), to more easily dispense the fabric softener. So many ideas.

Now to clean up my craft area and eat some dinner.

I love you all, Stamp Happy, be a blessing and always be kind to one another.
