Have you ever just looked at things and knew you HAD to make just a couple changes???

Or, know that when you get a kit that you are NOT even going to look at the directions??

HAHAHA, you are not the only one.... 

I love LOVE the Burlap and Blooms Simply Created wreath kit in the Spring Catalog!!

I had a customer ask me to make that a stamp camp and Ohhh did we have fun... Here are a few samples of what the GIRLS came up with..

Sandy, decided to mix her colors all together!! 

Rocky was not happy that I was taking pictures, even though it was her idea!!

She decided to put a few more flowers on the side...

Paula went for a different angle...

I added a few buttons and puff flowers to this side...

No I didn't sew on the buttons, but who would know otherwise!! ;-)

A few Rosettes, and Rhinestones.

(Gotta add some bling!)

I am not sure if you can tell, but Inked the edges on the inner circle on the yellow flower..

I love when the girls take an idea and run with it to make it theirs!!

Personalize it if you will.

Here is my version

I love it!!  Have a GREAT day getting crafty!

Winter '14

I know the snow is melting, BUT here are a few shots from the 

Homestead.....

I hope you can see the wheel barrel handles ... Yes, that is how deep the snow was here.

This is my front garden off the porch, the wood logs you see in the back ground, are the weight on the back of the "small" tractor....

the tractor has pushed all that snow from just the 

drive way....yup, small but mighty!

Sorry this picture was taken from the car. 

Dang it was cold out that day!!

Here are a couple birds that are enjoying the full bird feeder.

The Cardinal and the Black Eyed Junco are on the tree, off my kitchen window.  Wow, they were VERY chatty the morning this picture was taken.

Have a GREAT day getting Crafty!!

I have missed everyone, Here is a few things I have been working on......

Don't you love the new Watercolor Wonder DSP??

How about the Petite Petals Stamp Set Bundle??

Simple fold, but wonderful impact....

add a little bit of twine from the 

Sale-a-Bration 

and a dab of Dazzling Detail to the main flower

Beautiful!!

 

 

 

 

Here is one of our Valentine cards.... Love, love the different color scheme here!!

 

 

Have you thought to use different ribbons together??   Leave a comment letting me know what you think!

Have you seen this??

OH this is a must have now!!


NEW PLATFORM

April '13

Part 4..... Last one.

You guessed 3 more things added today.  And a great idea for the excess.  

Wow, it appears a big change here, but still just 3 things. 

The Basic Grey layer changed the look dramatically, what do you think?? The "hey there" fits snuggly in the regular oval punch and a few more threads in the button. 

How about the inside?? Anyone that knows me knows that I don't do much on the inside of my cards on purpose because I donate them to Operation Write Home.....  but....

I tried to take the picture so that you can see the way it was punched out... on the sticker page for the paper pumpkin there is this excess.  What can you do with that??  Use the scallop circle punch and punch it out like pictured here... add a little butterfly and waaahla!! NO SCRAP!!

  Here is a recap of the last 4 days...

Get in the next round of My Paper Pumpkin

 Don't you want to see what is in the next 'My Paper Pumpkin'? Contact me I will show you how!!

Have a great Day getting Crafty!!

Tammy I know you guessed butterflies.  You know, I just can not help myself.  

Here is what is different this time... I added back the ink spots, added another flag and stamped the "hey there" on it, and lastly the butterfly with the rhinestone.  

One more tomorrow!! what will be next??
