Blue glitter

Good Morning everyone!

So glad to be here today to share another project. Hope to

find you all doing well this Friday. Do you all have something

fun planned for the weekend?  I on the other hand have nothing

fun planned other then getting some things done around the

house and hopefully I can get some crafting done. Well lets

get to my project. I made another purse mini album. This time

I'm not going to go showing you all the pages because it was

basically done like the first one I showed everyone. I did tweak

it a little bit but not enough that it changed it completely.

 

As you see I made it in blue and also made the wallet to go with

it. This project was a special order. I had stopped in my local

scrapbooking store to see if they carried the disc magnets because

on the other purse I had used Velcro to keep the purse and wallet

closed and I was afraid that if it were opened and closed a lot that

the Velcro would pull off the cardstock. I took my mini with me to

make sure that I would get the right size. The gals there loved it  and

one of the gals asked me if I could make her one in blue. She wanted

to give it to her best friend on her birthday. This purse has a magnet

that keeps it closed now instead of velcro.  I like the magnet closure

better.  I hope you like this one too. Now I'm off to get some things

 done so until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

Cute Witch

Good Morning everyone!

Hope that you are all enjoying hump day. I know that I am enjoying

the day because the weather sure has been nice lately. I also have a

job interview this morning so wish me luck.

I have been having fun just creating. This new creation I know is

a little bright in color but I love how this card turned out. The digi

comes from The Enchanting Art of Heather Valentin. I coloured her

with water color pencils. Below is a close-up of the digi.

Isn't she adorable?

 

 

The pattern paper comes from the Recollections Midnight Magic

stack. This stack was put out in 2011. Like I said before I'm trying

real hard to use up my stash. So far I think I'm doing pretty good

In my upcoming posts you will see some old cardstock stacks.

Hope you like my card. Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!

Let me share

Good morning everyone.

Hope to find you all doing well and staying warm. Hopefully

you are all taking the time to get out and look at the beautiful

fall colors.

Usually on Tuesdays I show you some thrifty buys I have made.

Today I'm going to share something different. In my header picture

is a scene that is stamped. It is just the start of a beautiful creation. I

found a youtuber that creates some gorgeous scenes using just stamps.

Kevin is the owner of this stamp line and the creator. If you follow

the link below you can watch Kevin at work which is just amazing.

Now don't think that I won't ever show some thrifty buys on

Tuesdays because I have several to share.....LOL..... I just want

to keep things interesting. I hope that you take the time to watch

this video. Thank you for stopping by and until my next post

Have A Spelndid Day!!!!!! 

 

My Skeleton Friend

Good Morning everyone, hope to find you all doing well.

The weather was beautiful yesterday that I got some things

done around the yard. Today I will be on a mission to find a

glass for our woodstove because we broke it while cleaning it

to prepare to use it. Little things that happen in life and we

go with the flow. Now onto my header picture. I made a

Halloween card using coredinations sand n tear it emboss 

cardstock. The header picture was taken before I added the

bling from Recollections so that all the words could be seen.

I embossed it using the Tim Holts Alterations Halloween Print

embossing folder then sanded the cardstock to bring out the

underlying color and make the words stand out. The stamp is

My Minds Eyes Lost and Found Halloween collection

I'm trying to use a lot of my stash cardstock before I go buying

anymore cardstock. I probably have about a three foot stack of

cardstock if I stacked it.....LOL.... and I know that I am not the

only one out here in blog world. I have a problem and I need help.

We need to start some type of cardstockaholics group. Ok so I'm off

the blog subject lets get back to my card....LOL......

A real simple card but I like how it turned out. Hope you like it

too. Until my next post. Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!

Finally the last pages

Good Morning to all my beautiful followers.

Hope you are all doing well. As for me I am doing ok with the

exception of the weather I don't know what kind of weather you

are all dealing with but as for me and in my neck of the woods we have

had some cold days. We have stayed in the lower sixties, but they say

that we will be back in the seventies staring around Tuesday. I'll just

have to wait and see. With the cold spell that we had we were just not

real ready for so we were scrambling to get some things done around

here that I didn't realize that I hadn't scheduled any posts. So here is the

last pages of the purse mini.

Finally the last pages. A lot of pockets, tags, and mats. So many places

to put pictures. Hope you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!!!

Mini Purse Album part 2

Good morning everyone.

Hope to find everyone doing well. I'm keeping busy creating and

working on a schedule to give some classes at my local scrapbooking

store. Well as promised here is the inside of the mini album starting

with the header picture. The first page is kind of plain but is also a

pocket. It holds two photo mats. The next picture is the back side of

the first page. Also you can see the next page. All the pages are

pockets.

The next picture is a close-up. It can hold the tag that is there

or a picture can fit there.

Next is the backside of the second page and the front of the

third page. This page also holds a tag.

I hope you like the inside as much as you like the outside. If

you have any questions make sure to leave it in the comment box

and I will get to it as soon as possible. Thank you for stopping by.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

 

Purse mini album

Good morning everyone out there that takes a minute to stop by.

First I'm going to tell you how I believe I'm losing my mind. I was

getting ready to do my blog when I went to find the pictures for this

post and I couldn't find them. I knew that I had taken pictures of the

projects that I had finished but where were they? I searched and

searched and they were no where to be found. After about an hour

of searching I finally realized that I had not downloaded the pictures.

As my family would say the dert dertter award went to me. Ok so

everyone laugh with me........LOL.........

Now that your done laughing let me show you my purse mini album.

I'm not going to post all of it in one post because there is so much to

this mini. In the header picture is the front of the mini. The next

picture is a side view.

As you can see the inside is full of pages. The next picture is the

backside. 

The next picture is a wallet that I created for the purse mini. The wallet

just sits in the middle of the purse and can be removed.

The next picture is the inside of the wallet which I tried to make

it look like an actual wallet.

There is a pocket for where a drivers License should go. I also created

pockets which hold some tags. I wanted them to look like credit cards.

I will get to the pages in my next post just because I don't want my post

to be extremely long. This mini I made to give to a friend. This is just one

of three mini purse albums that I made. Each one is a different color. Hope

you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!

Tattered Pinecone basket

A good morning to all. Hope to find everyone well and rested

from the beautiful weekend. I had a great weekend because my

best friend has moved back to the Rogue Valley after some time

away. I spent my Saturday with my best friend, her daughter, and

grandson. We had a great time just visiting. Oh how I have missed

her.  Now I also hear that one of my other good friends is moving

back here. Life just can't get any better. Oh the trouble that we will

get into like before......LOL........

Ok so now onto my project that is in my header picture. Below is a

couple of pictures of what this basket looked like before I got my

hands on it.

I used my Tim Holtz Tattered Pinecone die to upcycle the basket.

I also used some ribbon to give it some more color.

This was a quick project but I will be using it to fill it with cookies

for the holidays so I'm trying to get ahead of the holiday rush. Hope

you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!

 

Altered oatmeal can

Hello everyone,

Hope to find everyone well. I also hope that you are all creating

 and joining in on some of the blog hops and tutorials that are

happening in celebration of World Card Making Day. I am spending

the day with my best girlfriend who just recently moved back to the

Rogue Valley. We have so much catching up to do and so much

trouble to get into....LOL...... So before I go I wanted to make sure

and post another project that I worked on. Since I won't get to see

my granddaughter Marion on Halloween I made her a treat/gift box.

In my header picture is an oatmeal can that I altered. Below are a

few more pictures.

 

Hope you like my project, until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!

 

Fun times are over

Hello everyone.

I know it has been a while since I last posted. I have been busy

so much to do around here. Those of you who have moved at some

point in your life know what a job it can be. The furniture that worked

in your other house just doesn't work right in the new place. Then

there are the curtains that don't fit the windows and it just goes on

and on. I have taken some of my curtains and altered them so that

they fit my smaller windows. The cabinets that I had for my craft

storage didn't work here because I no longer have a craft room. I

now have a craft space in the living room. Maybe next summer we

will finish the other half of the attic so that I have a craft room again.

For now our living room is also my craft room and computer room.

That's life but I'm happy to be back in the Rogue Valley again.

Now on to my header picture. This is a basket that I upcycled. below

is a picture of what it looked like before I did anything to it.

Just a plain basket. I got about a dozen baskets given to me

all in different shapes and sizes. These baskets are of good quality

and real sturdy. These baskets usually are filled with fruit. At the

 time I didn't know what I was going to do with them all. They have

 come in handy though.

 

I made some cardstock flowers using the Tim Holtz tattered

pinecone die. I used leaves that I had in my stash from my floral

designing days and I made a cardstock butterfly using one of the

butterfly punches from Martha Stewart. Glued everything on

the basket,  I made breads and cookies and delivered them to

my neighbors as a get to know my neighbors gift.

Now that things are almost all put together in our new house

I will have more time to blog again. So until my next post

Have a Splendid Day!!!!!
