Bird-Day!

A little birdie told me....

I have a couple of Birthdays this week.

Even more next month.

Hope everyone is having a

GREAT week!

No School today or tomorrow so

PJ days for the boys and I.

Whooo hooo!

Have a magical day!

Hoping you all have a magical day!

Whoohooo! It's finally FRIDAY!

Just fun

I've decided to stop shopping (well kinda) and

start using what I already own.

I've had these stamps for awhile

and they've never seen ink.

So it's ink'em or sell em'!

So I'm inking everything!

lol

(I'm working on card for publication

hints the out of season cards)

How cute is this Dinosaur Boy?!

My 7yo son has been obsessed with Dinosaurs

from the time he laid eyes on them.

So when I found this set on the MFT site....

I had to have it!

To make this card I used lots of stuff I've had

hanging around for a while.

My friend Dawnmarie (hi DM!)

cut and gave me the clouds and felt grass to

try out and what can I say loving them!

She gave them to me months ago but hey

better late than never right!?!

The cloud paper was also given to me

thanks Cindy!

This set is called Little Loveosaurus it's

from MFT stamps and it's CUTE!

Mason Jar Pin Cushion

My project for the day.

I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby in the remnants section

and immediately this project came to mind.

I was inspired by the Pin Cushion in the SU Occasions Mini.

Really a simple project if you better with a glue gun than I am...

I burned 4 of my 10 fingers...ah the things I will endure

for my friends! lol

This is another gift going out soon.

Hope it's enjoyed!

To make the tags I used the SU set Tiny Tags.

LOVE this set it's turning into one of my

go-to sets, seem to be using it all the time.

Stay Inky my Friends!

Birthday Butterfly

Made this card today to match

the clipboard below.

No idea who makes this stamp...I found it at an

Amish Stamp Store in PA. It was just rubber on

sticky foam. If anyone knows please let me know!

TIA!

Stay inky my friends!

Mini Clipboard for a Friend

Mini SU clipboard, covered with Basic Grey DSP, Lots of different lace and trims, letter cut using my Cricut machine.

Love the MFT rolled flower die!

Letter is covered in Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

I used my sewing machine to stitch the Ric-Rac

to the DSP to make the pen holder.

I made this little clipboard for a friend.

This is another goodie from the SU clearance rack.

I have white post it notes on order

they will be in this week...so after they

get here I'll add one to the clipboard.

Hope everyone is having a blessed Monday!

HUGS and Love

Altered File folder Note pad holder

Loved making this!

Really cute and easy to make.

I found a tutorial on SCS and fell in love.

The folders I found on the SU clearance rack as well

as the matching DSP! Whoo Hoo for a good sale!

The note pad is from the ACMoore $1 rack.

The paper flowers I made using the new MFT Rolled flower dies.

Really fun and really easy to use.

Can't really see it in the pics but I sprayed the flowers with

Glimmer Mist to give them some sparkle.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Nestie Easel Card

Let it snow!

Okay this was just FUN to make!

It's an easel card made with Nesties.

So easy and FUN!

It's snowing on Ft Meade today! First real snow of the season I only

count it if I have to shovel the drive...I had to shovel today!

Kids got out of school early so I'm off

to stamp the afternoon away!

Stay Safe

Ornament gift Topper

Ornaments

Cookies!

I made Reindeer Poop Cookies for the

Cookies Exchange. What can I say I have

Two little boys. These are a big hit

in my house!

15 gift packages took me 5 days!

It's was a lot of work but my

friends are sooo worth it!

Hope everyone makes time for Friends this

Holiday Season!

Twilight

I'm gearing up for the upcoming

DVD release of Eclipse!

I was going to make these Ornaments

for all of my Twi-hard friends but they

are a PITA to make.

Because they are layer with CS vs just coloring

on the transparency they had to be

assembled in the ornament...

If your a Twi-hard you will get it

if not...No I'm not crazy just a

fan having fun! lol

Ornament Making Day

Ornament making day on Saturday.

Just trying to come up with some

last fall... Trying to use them up!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Altered Mailbox

Rainy Day in Maryland.

Its a good day to stay home and alter something!

I found this really neat mailbox at a local thrift store

for $2. I loved the scallop boarder around the top

of the mailbox.

Sorry the pics are so dark! One day I'll have a stamp studio

with lots of natural light....a girl can dream.

I painted the box Cherry Red (lowes) it matches SU cherry cobbler perfect.

Used Greenhouse Gala DSP (SU) to cover the middle of the box.

For the scallop I use the new SU die Tasteful Trim and

chocolate chip CS. Then used some crocheted flowers

from the same thrift store, made the leaves with a nestie die and matching DSP,

the pearls are from MM they were white and I needed cream so I colored them with

a light brown copic marker.

Hope everyone is have a great day!

Stay inky my friends!
