Jan '12 friend

Off to a new start here in 2012, I am preparing for Open Craft room days, Stamp Camps and New classes.  I will post here all the latest news and want to thank everyone for stopping by.


Have a great day, Get Crafty!!

Happy 2012 everyone, Well we survived the last 24 plus hours of snow here in northern IN.  And of course those that know me well know how much I love LOVE snow!! Here are few shots outside the kitchen window from this morning!! It is amazing don't you think!

Our pond is up as you can see, which is wonderful for all the new baby fishies we have in it.  I do not even know if the deer have made tracks through the fresh powder yet!!

Off to the craft room I go, Lots to do!!

Have fun getting Crafty Today!! And don't forget today is the last day for the Holiday Mini and only two more days for the Clearance Rack Blitz!!

Good Bye 2011

As my last post of the year, I hope everyone had an Amazing Christmas and will have a safe New Year!!

 Our first item is  using our Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot.  Paper color is Always Artichoke, Real Red, White and Silver.  Red glimmer brads to add the bling.

Wild Wasabi, Rose Red and Pink Pirouette DSP with stripes.  Add Old Olive 5/8 Ribbon and pearls for the poinsettias and you have our next card. 

Early Espresso, DSP wood grain, White and  Real Red.  Hemp twine and mini clothespins. 

This one I think is my favorite.  Bravo Burgundy and Early Espresso paper, Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon.  Get your heat tool out because that is heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Love this!!

Too Long!!

 All of this was for my sisters baby shower.  I made invites, thank you's, favors and even cupcakes all to match.   

 Christmas Stamp Camp starts here.... Pick one of four

Top Tree is Big Shot buttons with Merry Christmas (Four the Holidays) on the inside


Second Tree is from Lovely as a Tree using the new Dazzling Details on the branches.


Loads of Love and the Loads of Love Accessories with twine as the road.


Lastly is the Warmest of Wishes which is embossed in Cherry Cobbler. The picture is not good, sorry had the wrong setting on my camera.  I used Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler paper, Cherry Cobbler seam binding and the new Snow Flake embossing folder.

It sure has been awhile, sorry everyone..... I have been working in the "garden".  I will post a few pictures later in the week.  Here is today's card, I got in touch with my girlie side and did this Happy Birthday card.

I have been on a Melon Mambo (and Rich Razzleberry too) kick these days. I do love the color combo too. Add a dash of So Saffron (or Daffodil Delight) and Pink Pirouette (or Regal Rose) and Peach Parfait..............WOW!!


I used mostly punch art on this card, including 5 Petal Flower, Boho Blossom and the Itty Bitty Shapes.  Of course, I used the glitter brads in different colors and the beautiful pearls too.  The happy birthday is from Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  It was stamped in Melon Mambo on Pear Pizzazz using the double punch tech and the Modern Deco Label punch.    Have a GREAT Day!!
