Snowflakes

Did someone say "snowflakes"? 

Really, I am not ready for fall or even snow but it will happen sooner then I want. So, I decided to work on a card that I colored with Copics a while back.

Plus, I used my New Die I bought from Scrapbook Expo show.

It was exciting to use such delicate die.

My first time trying its I am okay with it not my greatest look but I will keep it for now till better comes along, LoL

HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

Surf Dude

Hello, crafty creative peeps. So, I had mention on social media that my son had drawn me a Surf Dude. My son Joseph went beyond what I had requested. I am totally blessed to have him draw for me whatever I ask him to do.

I ask for waves. He gives me waves.

I ask for a Surf Dude. And he makes this....

Isn't he just super duper adorable??!!! I know Joseph doesn't like this type of field but he really is so beyond good at it. He amazes me in the things he can draw and the details just amazing too.  His talent is one of kind and its a Gift from God. 

I can recall when Joseph first started coloring. I knew Joseph was going to be amazing in that area-Creativity. Working with his talented hands. I hope one day he makes it big in that area. 

I hope that you enjoy Joseph's image and share as much as you want. Maybe he will get the hint that he really is that good, lol

I did use Copic Markers to color him. 

Thanks for stopping and I hope you have a SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

Birthday card

Remember all the stamp sets I stamped while I was sick 2 years ago? Well, this another image I stamped on a die cut that I cut from the Cricut.



Do you think I remember who makes the image? Nope. I just recalled stamping and thinking I stamped it wrong. Should I toss it? Well, we are not all perfect and so I guess I kept it.

I think its funny when I try to make it all perfect but maybe it took 2 or 4 times to stamp correct. But why? Why stress out and do that? Why not go with the flow and make it a old distressing look to it?!

How many images have you tossed on side and not used because its in perfect look to it?

Or how many images have you stamped and not colored or used?

Thanks for stopping by.


HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!

Teddy Bear card

I really really LIKE bears Paper Piecing by Nikki. I am into much Digi anyting but only because my computer is 10 years old, Lol

Do you Digi?

Nikki had came out with this clear stamp set and you bet I snatched it up. Plus, another too from her.

I made this as small as the image and I LOve it! No more then 4 inches high. Only because I love putting notes in my Hubby's lunch box. Oh, come on I am sure I am NOT the only one that does that, LOL. Right?

I did used Glossy Accent by ranger for texture and look. Plus, Copic markers for color.
Came out super super cute!

Thanks for stopping by.

HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!!!

Holding on Tight

About two years ago I was really sick and I spent a lot of time in bed. Hubby even  bought me a 48 inch TV and hung it on the wall. I was coloring a lot with my Copics. Those months I went through was just a season that my oldest my son was moving out. Moving to another state. I was loosing my baby boy. Okay, okay not so much a baby but he is my 1st born.

I hold his heart near me so dear.

One of my greatest thing I have done and still do is being a MOM. I love seeing my boys do above and beyond their imagination in life. 

As I was coloring the images I reminded myself that this is how I hold unto my kids' heart but I know that I need to let them be so they can be the men they were called to be. I only hinder them if I keep holding on to them that tight. Bitter sweet. 

The image is by Magnolia- Tilda. I used the doilies to stamp the image then color with Copics. Then the super cute and soft yarn from my stash.

To hold it all together.... yes of course Helmar glue.

Have you ever tried DOILIES to stamp on?

Thanks for stopping by and have a 

SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!

I still believe

I have for some reason have crafty block (?), LoL

Is their such thing? Or Am I actually being creative? 

Silly question, huh? It's true. I have been trying so hard that I end doing either nothing or spend hours and hours doing nothing.

Then I recalled that a file that I had stamped a lot o images and colored when I was in and out of the hospital. When  I looked I saw lots of cute images I couldn't wait to put together a few cards. I made 5 and I can't wait to share in the next.

I had to still believe that God has given me a gift to be creative and unique.

I used the stamp image The Greeting Farm's 

Never Ever Stamp and sentiment too. 

The banner is by MCT. I embossed the background. 

Then to put it together I  used the Helmar glue-the

 best glue EvER!!!! And of course I used Copic 

markers to color this image.

Magnolia Stamp

I am not sure what style I LIKE. I am not in one style I am like all over the board. How about you? What is your style? Am I the only one that has not one simple theme of how I create? I am what I want to be like my mood, lol
Is that bad or am I just confused?





Another style with Magnoila stamp.

HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

Magnolia Stamp

I have not posted any of the cards I have because I just feel like they are OKAY, lol. Have you ever feel that nothing is good enough?!


Anyway......


I used the Magnolia stamp and my Cricut!

HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

Prima Stamp

WOw, it's been so long. Well, it feels long. I have not had any mojo. Is it me or my room? LoL, I just want to create out of the box and I can't get a grip of it. So, back to my style.........





Not much to talk about but the stamp girl is from Prima. Isn't she a doll?!
I did use Copic, Helmar 450 Quick Dry glue,  and DCWV paper.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY ! HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!

Magnolia Stamp

Hello, welcome again to my blog. I have tried to swing LOTS in my life but with out all the stress. Football season is almost done and I am going to miss it but 2 games a day was getting too much. I can't imagine doing 7 hours of school, 3 hours of football practice and homework. On top of it still manage to get straight A's and a couple of B's. Yes, that is my son. He is 15 year and he encourages me.




I had a fun time making this together...


Thank you for stopping by..

I think we all have a crazy day and that is what this cat reminds me. CRAZY! lol



I wanted to make a quick card and simple. Wal-lah!

I did use my Copic Markers to color him and  the paper was just scraps.

JOSEPH'S IMAGE

I have been thinking about my son, which is 22 years old, Joseph. He has moved to another state but their isn't a day that I need to hear his voice, text or FaceBook with him. 
Have I ever mention how talented this kid is? At one point I was in a DT with KinderStampO and I need something with rain theme of some sort. I had asked my son to draw a boy with a umbrella and wal-lah!!!


He is so talented but its his talent and I am blessed I can have him draw for me. I enjoyed coloring him with the Copic markers.

Gradient Color challenge

Okay, I had Raven from Love4Stamps invite me to Kristi from Little Paper Sprinkles' challenge.
I have to be honest I never heard of the word "gradient colors". LoL, I know go ahead and laugh. I googled it and well it kinda reminded me of a rainbow. Aren't I smart?! LoL, I crack myself up. I hope I crack you up too :D
Anyway, unto my project. I used Perfect Pearls. Never used it. Never seen a video. I just went for it. I really LIKE how it came out. That GRADIENT COLORING technique was F.U.N.
 

Isn't that stamp cute? You can buy it from here Dilo En Espanol. Or you can be their fan here on FaceBook. I also use Glossy Accent, Helmar 450 quick dry glue. Copic Markers, Cricut Expression, Gypsy jewelry from Michaels, Perfect Pearls and Momento ink.

If you have not tried this.. you need to give a shot! It really was fun!! Thanks for stopping by!

My Prima Doll Project

I went to a local adorable store called Urban Farmgirl and it looked like this.....

even in the rain! Isn't that cute? Hubby took me Saturday morning and I got some cute "zinc baords" from there.

So, what are "zinc boards"? They are super cute shaped metal. I got 2 shapes and then the LIGHT lit in my head. I want to make this>>>>>

Although, the IMAGE of these adorable Dolls by Prima was too BIG for my "zinc board" I recalled someone stating they scan their STAMPED image(s) and size it to what they want. I tried it and it worked!!! I was so happy with my project and will be bringing this to my office at work. The paper I used was "My Mind's Eye" Market Street 6x6 paper stack.
Other products I used:
Mod Podge
Tim Holtz-Swivel Clasp
SU-ink Soft Suede
7gypsies #SC0502
Hobby Lobby -wedding tulle things,lol.
Copic Markers
Glossy Accents by Ranger
Bead is Blue Moon
Zots

 With all that said I really did enjoy trying NEW things and I am so happy I did it. I hope you enjoyed this project!
HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!!!
