Another FWF Friday

For FWF today I made two cards using the same supplies, but different stamps.

I used an hexagon punch that I found in my stuff when I unpacked the boxes in my craft room, and some older papers that I have had for a while and never used.

Supplies:

Unity SOTW lamp stamp

Unity "The time is Now"

Creative Memories: hexagon punch

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



FWF Friday

It has been a few weeks since my last FWF post, and I am excited that I was able to make a card and participate this week. This week has been crazy busy with moving, but we are finally getting somewhat settled in, so I was able to find some time to make a card for today.

Supplies:

Stamps are all Unity

seniment from Jan 2011 KOM

large butterfly from a SOTW

smaller butterflies (background stamp) from a SOTW

Cardstock from Stampin' Up

Patterned paper from my scrapbox

This has been our hardest move yet, I think that we have all cried this week. But we do like our new house, and the neighborhood seems nice too. We finally finished getting my daughter registered for high school today, and she was able to get into all the classes she wanted, and she even made it onto the volleyball team after a 4 hour try-out today, so I am hoping that there will be no more tears from her for a while, just a little nervousness about starting high school. North Carolina is VERY different from Kansas (we LOVED our time in Kansas), but I hope that with time we will feel at home here too.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope that everyone has a happy weekend!



Believe in Magic

Yesterday the packers started packing up all our stuff, and now all my craft stuff is in boxes waiting to be picked up on Monday :(

The day before the packers came, I went down to my craft room and meant to organize it and clean for the move, but instead I made a few cards (which was much more fun than cleaning), so here is a quick CAS card to share for todays FWF.

The stamp is from the May KOM "Love in an Instant", the butterfly is from K& Co., and paper is from my scrap box.

And here is some fun news to share:

This is about using all your old stamping stuff and not just letting it sit in a drawer somewhere. Visit next week to see fun new projects featuring older stamps and supplies.

TTFN!!!



FWF Friday

It is Friday and that means time for Friends With Flair.

The cards I made for today were so much fun to make, I masked a rectangle in the center of the card and inked it, and then just stamped my sentiment in the middle and added some embellishments, and the cards were done. Quick and easy, and I really like how they turned out.

 This stamp is from Jan 2011 KOM "To the moon and Back"

 This sentiment is from a SOTW extra stamp.

 Lovely Bits and Baubles is the name of the kit that this stamp is from.

And finally Vaughn is back from his 12 months in Iraq, and we are all so very happy to have him here. His plane did not arrive until 1am, so the kids did not see him until the next morning. It took our two year old a few minutes to figure out that daddy was here and it was real, but he is so very happy to have his daddy back, and wants to be with daddy all the time. It has only been five days, so we are still getting used to being together again, but it is awesome to have him here with us.

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



Using Scraps

A while ago my 12 year old was working on a school project at my craft desk and the next day I found a huge mess (worse than my mess), and it included a bunch of these squares that he must have enjoyed punching out. So after having them sit in my scrap basket for months, I decided that it was time to either use them or throw them away, and since I hate just throwing stuff out I made these cards (and more) with them.

The stamps are from A Muse, and Hero Arts.

TTFN!!!



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!
