It Started with just...

This wooden frame.... You have seen them, at the local Craft Store!!

How much are they you ask?? Yup, Just $1.00

Jennifer, What can you do with that?? I know you are asking me!

Here is what you will need... One frame. (and there are several different sizes and shapes) Designer Series Paper(DSP) of your choice, Several different adhesives 

(fuse tape, glue dots, tombow glue, hot glue gun too)

and your imagination.

This weekend and next weekend are the local graduations, so graduation it is.

Wanting to do more masculine type projects, here is where that went....

"You did it!!"

using the banner framelits

the new Punch Pack 

retiring Notable Alphabet

retiring Soho Subway DSP(both still available at time of post)

Using mostly DSP and just a splash of 

Pear Pizzazz, retired Summer Starfruit and 

Smoky Slate cardstock.

Bone folder to "curl" the ends.

What do you think of ALL the textures and layers??

I lost count of all the different patterns of DSP.

What to learn from one of my many mistakes! Use your Stamp-a-majig... I do hate that the "t" is off.

Don't know how or what that is... stay tuned this week and I will walk you thru the process.

Do you see the arrow?? yup those are in the new book!! That started today!! WoooHOOO 

This is the first time pulling out the fringe scissors. How fun are these?? And easy too! 

Just a piece of cardstock 2 1/5 by 4, use the scissors on the long end, sticky strip the uncut end, and wind up on a stick (or skewer above) and done.

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Weekly Deals... May 27

Today is an important day..

Memorial Day

Today we Honor our Military. This has always been an important day for me but it was made more so when my son became a Marine.  He will always be a Marine and I will always be a Marine Mom!

I am a Proud Mom and am grateful for the sacrifices our Military and He have made for my Freedom!

This says it all... 

I wrote out the 'because of the' but the 'FREEDOM' and the 'BRAVE' are from a retiring stamp set, Words of Courage. 

Using the 'NEW" Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, these stars  are the perfect size.
 

Curling the 'freedom' and 'brave' so it looks as if they are waving in the wind.

Also, just using a glue dot the stars were left to curl up the edges.

How did the flag look get created...the base is Cherry Cobbler adding 3/4" strips of Whisper White and a section of Midnight Muse for the star section.

Leaving the inside simple with whisper white and midnight muse stars.

Please take the time to Thank a Service member today!

Or write a letter to a Hero, How you ask?? I will be sending a box to OWH, Operation Write Home soon and they are always looking for Hero letters to send.  What is a Hero letter?? This letter goes to a member of the military who does not get any mail from home.  

Contact me for more information.

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Today's card is one that was cut by the e-cutter

Using Watercolor Wonder DSP, Gumball Green, and Island Indigo,

 this card comes together.

Dontcha just love the way the butterfly is cut out??

The sentiment is from the retiring stamp set "Take Care".  Using the Watercolor Wonder DSP and the window punch to get this look.

The Bitty Butterfly is also punched out of Watercolor Wonder DSP.

A simple Rhinestone in the middle of each.

The small butterflies were cut out by the e-cutter.

Wanted to cover a small tear, I tugged to hard on the cut out, I used another Watercolor Wonder DSP butterfly to this side.

Enjoy... 

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Sorry all, today is not our usual project.

The above picture looks somewhat freaky, but anyone who plants potatoes know these little gems are what is going to bring me some AMAZING red potatoes in a few months.

With my two days off this week I just HAD to work on the garden.  For those that do not know I have two veggie garden spaces.  Just one area, the smaller of the two, I can plant 40 tomato plants with plenty of room to walk and grow! The second is almost 3 times the size, thanks to the hubby expanding my area this year.

Here are a few more things I have been up too.  Our house has a lovely wrap around porch and it is in need of rearranging.  This has been on my list since the weather began to turn.  The clean up and rearranging has begun... I am soooo excited!!

and more planting... a few plants matched with a few seeds this will look fantastic!!

Don't worry I have been in the craft room too... 

Sandy let me come over and check out her e-cutter.  

I have been thinking of adding this to my "collection" of tools. We checked out all the goodies that Stampin' Up! has for your e-cutter and were very pleasantly surprised.  Thanks SU!!

Well enjoy your weekend and the beautiful weather we are supposed to have in the Midwest.  Think of me while I am at work. uugghh

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!
