Shop Till You Drop



Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

This week I received some

wonderful stamps

in the mail from

Stamping Scrapping.

The two I ordered were

All Dolled Up

&

All Dressed Up.

These are great stamps. They also

have a matching die to use in

your die cutting machines.

The dies are a preorder right now,

so hurry over and be one of the

first to get them.

I know they will go fast.

I can't wait to get mine in the mail!

These little beauties are going to be great for

Easter and Mother's Day cards.

Today I made a birthday card.

Inside

Along with the stamps.

I used some

die cut embellishments from

Kanban

This one is also called Dress Up.

You can get it in the kit, or by it self.

Single Sheet.

This was so fun to make.

Now all I need is a birthday girl

 to send it to.

:) LOL :)

Here is what you will be looking for on the sites:

Pretty In Pink

Hello Everyone,

I know it's February, and here in Ohio

very cold.

I wanted to bring spring into the house.

This lovely stamp by

Sheena Douglas

was just the ticket.

Her line of stamps are called Paint Fusion.

The stamp I used from her collection is called

 Rose Blossom.

This is the release week. So if you

would like to purchase this beautiful stamp,

pop over to

Crafter's Companion.com

 and take a look at the new stamps.

This is what I created. 

I started out with a 5 x 7 piece of canvas board.

I followed the Video for the

Rose blossom stamp.

Sheena shows us how to do the basic techniques.

And them some!!!

I mixed green and white  and pounced

all over the canvas.

Stamped the leaves down, then painted.

Added some vines, then stamped the flower.

I painted the flower, then let the picture dry.

 Added the little Corner Stickers,

and now I have a little touch of

spring inside my home. 

Their are three new stamps.

Click on each one to see the video.

 Lilac 

Rose Blossom

A Mothers Pride!



Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to tell you about a
very special person in my life.
My daughter Jennifer.

When I was very young I wanted a little girl
 named Jennifer.
When I got married, I stared making little pink items.
Dresses, baby booties, bibs, hats, blankets.
quilts, etc.
Everything in pink...

Almost 2 years later, my one and only,
Jennifer arrived.
(Good thing it was a girl)
:) LOL :)
I am so very proud of her!!!
Jenn has turned out to be a wonderful woman.
And is so very talented.
She also has her papaw's talent for drawing.
( My Dad, proud of him too!)

Here are some of her projects.

Paint Fusion Daisies

( Her first try )

These are some of the projects she

made with her Crafter's Companion Tool.

We schedule a craft day. ( grown up play date, lol ) 

 Get together and

talk, craft, eat, laugh, and have a

good ole time.

( I am very lucky!! )

These are the beautiful nylon

flowers she makes and sells.

This is the wonderful quilt she made

me for Mother's Day.

 Jenn is also an awesome Tatoo Artist.

She draws many of her own designs.

The first one is her creation.

Jenn also is an excellent cook!!

( yes she is married, lol, to a great guy! )

So have I bragged enough!?

If you have someone special in your life

you are proud of, let them know...

Thank you Jenn, I am so happy

God had the angels bring you, to me.

I am also very happy you stopped by.

Thank you.

And have a scrappy day.
