Just a Note

I am always trying to find ways to use some of the paper from my ever growing scrap bin, and here is a card I made using scraps and just a bit of twine, and a stamp from Unity.

Supplies:

Paper scraps

Unity KOM stamp

Spellbinders postage die

Twine

Gem

Card Stock from PTI

TTFN!

Life is Wonderful

 For the past week or so I have been busy cleaning up my craft room to get ready for our move, and I have been finding all kinds of stuff that I forgot I had. Now I am trying to use some of these stamps and supplies (any excuse to take a break from cleaning), so here are a few cards I made last night.

 Supplies:

Itty Bitty from Unity

Washi tape

Flowers and gems found in a drawer.

Kraft from PTI

I found a bunch of stamps from A Muse that I completely forgot I had, so here is two versions of a card using a cute skunk from A Muse.

Supplies:

A Muse Stamps

Sparkly stickers

Black gems

Pink, black & white card stock.

TTFN and thank you for stopping by!

It Is a Beautiful Day!

Here is the card I made for FWF today

The yellow swirl is an Itty Bitty, and the sentiment is from the April 2012 KOM "Follow Your Own". The yellow paper is from PTI and the butterfly charm is one that I found in a drawer when cleaning last week, I am pretty sure that I meant to make some jewlery with it, but here it is on a card...

Only one more garbage day left before my husband comes home. He made it from Iraq to Kuwait and is there waiting to get on the redeployment flight to America tomorrow evening, so if all goes well he should be back with us Sunday or Monday. The kids are super excited that dad is coming home, and I am too. However I am a bit nervous also, it is going to take some time to adjust to living together again, it has been a whole year of doing everything my way, so it will take a bit of getting used to having him here again. And to top it off the movers come in less than two weeks, so we will not have much time to relax before moving day is here. But above all it is a beautiful day and it is going to be great to see my sweetie again!

Thank you for stopping by, and have a great weekend!

Right Where You Should Be

"You are right where you should be"

I really like this saying, and need to take a breath and live by it more, since so often I feel like I am not right where I should be in any way, both as a person and also physically as in where we live.

I made this card with some stuff I found when I was cleaning up getting ready for our move, the stamp is from Unity and I have no idea where the papers are from.

I masked the white square and inked the middle of it with a brayer and matted it in pink. The butterfly background was on a card that came in a box of premade cards, that I got a long time ago, but have never used any of them.

TFL!



Fairy Tale

Made this card for a CAS challenge on SCS. I used some ribbon that was on a present I got a while ago to make the dotted background on the bottom, and I love how it turned out.

 The stamp is from Unity, and I used distress ink in Frayed Burlap and lightly colored in the heart with a pink Copic. Below is a picture of the ribbon that I used to make the bottom of the card.

Friday FWF

It is Friday already, this week went by really fast for me. Time for FWF and I made this card for today. I used the "Becoming Butterfly" stamp that I have had for a really long time, but it had not seen ink until now.

Only about two more weeks left until my husband returns from his deployment in Iraq, and I cannot wait for him to be home with us again. And I do need a little help getting ready for our move at the end of the month. 

Thank you for stopping by, and have a happy weekend!

Stay cool!

Blog Candy Winner and a Butterfly

It is another super hot day here in Kansas, guess it is a good day to stay inside and spend some time cleaning and crafting. Last night I made this pretty card with a big embossed butterfly on it. As I am cleaning up my craft area to get ready for our move I am finding stuff that I forgot I had, hence the big white embossed butterfly, since I found a bunch of embossing powders yesterday. The stamp is from the Unity "Embrace You" set.
