Scrapbook Expo!

Went to the scrapbook expo with my friend Kathy today! We had a wonderful day in a workshop and doing lots of shopping and make-n-takes. :) I'm planning on attempted a haul video tomorrow... It'll be my first so it might take me a few days to post. Hope everyone has a good weekend, I know what I'll be spending a lot of time doing. :)

Birthday card and trying out my copics

Hey everyone!!

I've been wanting copics forever but couldn't bring myself to actually buy them. They are just so expensive!! Luckily I have some pretty great friends who got me a wonderful gift card to amazon for my birthday and with that money I could begin my copic collection. I ended up getting the ciao set A colors. I've been nervous to try them out and this is my first tiny attempt.

I made the birthday card with a cool chevron die that I got from scrapbuck.com. I used the dotty for you paper pack from CTMH. I love how the colors and patterns coordinate together. All the stamps used are from Jaded Blossom

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!

Cards

Hey in with a quick post of some cards I've been making. It's always a good idea to have a few on hand and I made a couple different kinds with the same papers to save on waste and use up scraps!

I just wanted some clean and simple cards. I really like the CAS look.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you all have a great week!!

Handmade Coasters

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted last, but it doesn't mean I haven't been crafting. I am in the process of moving my crafting space to a larger bedroom in my home and well its a work in progress. I feel like I haven't had a ton of time to craft or wanted to craft since my work station in a cluttered mess and I don't have enough space. Over the next couple weeks while I'm moving/organizing everything I'll be posting some projects I have made recently.

This was my first attempt at making my own coasters. I like how they turned out but will need to work on making sure they are completely smooth next time. I am not a fan of the ridges that mod podge left on them.

I do love the paper I used it is CTMH dotty for you. I bought some plain white tiles from Lowes for like 16 cents each I think. Mod Podged the paper on, added a clear coat of acrylic sealer and backed them with cork. 

I got the idea from Pinterest.

Have a great weekend!! bye =)

I got a Silhouette!!

Hey everyone!

So my birthday was the 11th and my boyfriend had kept asking me what I wanted. I just couldn't decide until I was reading a blog post late the night before and they had made a project with their silhouette, it was almost like a light bulb went off in my brain and I practically screamed I WANT A SILHOUETTE!! Then came the realization that I asked for a very expensive present... But being the amazing man he is without a blink said it was mine if that's what I really wanted. It came yesterday. =) Thank goodness Amazon is so close and even free shipping only takes a few days to get to me! I was so antsy and I wanted to make sure that I knew what I was doing when it arrived that besides a fathers day card I didn't craft at all last week. I have been watching videos and am super excited to get to use digi's for the first time. I never have before because me cutting something out by hand would not look very nice and might possibly be missing a head or leg or something. 

Here's a look at a my fathers day card. It's quite simple but I knew my dad would love the shape.

I just cut an inch in on a white card base and folded the little tabs I had made over so they looked like a collar and then cut out a tie from DCWV guy stack paper, added a couple buttons and viola! easy and simple. I knew I had to make it quick since I was so tired from our vacation to the coast. I also have to share this amazing pic from our cottage at sunset.

Hope everyone has a great day!
