A Mothers Pride!



Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to tell you about a
very special person in my life.
My daughter Jennifer.

When I was very young I wanted a little girl
 named Jennifer.
When I got married, I stared making little pink items.
Dresses, baby booties, bibs, hats, blankets.
quilts, etc.
Everything in pink...

Almost 2 years later, my one and only,
Jennifer arrived.
(Good thing it was a girl)
:) LOL :)
I am so very proud of her!!!
Jenn has turned out to be a wonderful woman.
And is so very talented.
She also has her papaw's talent for drawing.
( My Dad, proud of him too!)

Here are some of her projects.

Paint Fusion Daisies

( Her first try )

These are some of the projects she

made with her Crafter's Companion Tool.

We schedule a craft day. ( grown up play date, lol ) 

 Get together and

talk, craft, eat, laugh, and have a

good ole time.

( I am very lucky!! )

These are the beautiful nylon

flowers she makes and sells.

This is the wonderful quilt she made

me for Mother's Day.

 Jenn is also an awesome Tatoo Artist.

She draws many of her own designs.

The first one is her creation.

Jenn also is an excellent cook!!

( yes she is married, lol, to a great guy! )

So have I bragged enough!?

If you have someone special in your life

you are proud of, let them know...

Thank you Jenn, I am so happy

God had the angels bring you, to me.

I am also very happy you stopped by.

Thank you.

And have a scrappy day.

For The Mail Lady

Hi everyone,

Do you have people in your life that help

you all the time?

Or do a great job without being asked?

Like:

The Mail Person.

A Teacher.

Hairdresser.

Manicurist.

Neighbor.

"Best Friend"

And so on.

My mail lady is awesome!!

I wanted to say thank you,

 so I made this and left it in

the mailbox.

This is so very easy to make.

Treat Box

I know in the video she uses a Sizzix Die.

But you can use any die you like.

The first one I made I used  a

Spellbinders die.

Something Sweet.

It also shows you how to put a view in the middle.
So you can see the treat.

You can skip that, and embellish

 the entire front.

How easy is that?

The flowers came from

Penny Duncan Creations.

Penny has wonderful videos on

how to make your own flowers also.

Check it out.

The wreath of flowers, came from

Memory box Inc.

It is called  Catalina Wreath.
Their is also a Grapevine wreath.
To see more about how to use
that die go to,
Valder.
This lady is amazing!

And the foil, which has a white

paper backing, and works well

in the die cutting machines. Is from
Foilman.com.
The foils are 6 x 7.5 inches and come
in over 60 colors.
You can buy as many as you like,
no minimum.
They are about .05 to .06 cents a piece.
( No I do not work for the company)
:) LOL :)
I just know a good deal and want to
pass it on!!


 I hope you liked this little goodie.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
And have a scrappy day.



Paint Fusion Fuschia Flowers

  Hi Everyone,

Today I a going to tell you about

one of my favorite stamp sets to work with.

The designer is  Sheena Douglass. She

is amazing. Her line of stamps are called

Paint Fusion.

Sheena shows you how to paint on her stamped images.

The great thing is, she makes it look so easy.

And it is!!!

Check out the full line of products over on the Crafter's Companion website.

I used paint on the leaves and

Spectrum-noir markers 

on the flowers.

First I stamped the images on  bleed proof

card stock, with memento black tuxedo ink.

Colored the flowers and painted the leaves,

then fussy cut around them.

For the card I took a piece of 8x8 inch

purple foil card stock, scored it in half with my

Ultimate Tool 

then centered a 6x6 piece of black chipboard on the bottom fold.

Framed the the card with  leaves and flowers.

Then popped a bow in the corner and the sentiment

on the lower right side.

To make the card stand up and not flatten out.

I punched two small wholes in the bottom of the foil

card stock,

(one in the back and one in the front)

 then threaded white ribbon

 to the back and tied with a bow to keep it steady.

        I hope you liked the project for this week.

Don't forget about the contest for the most

followers this month.

Something Sweet

Hello Everyone

Well here we are in February already.

This month over on the 

crafterscompanion-challenge.blog the theme

is "Something Sweet".

I wanted to make a Valentine Treat Bag

for someone special, just to say thank you.

I put little red and silver kisses inside.

As you can see, through the front of the card.

The stamp I am using today is from

 S.W.A.L.K. 3, called Thank You.

I stamped it out and colored it in with the

Spectrum-Noir makers.

Then cut the image out and placed it on the treat bag with pop dots.

Stamped a few flowers right on the bag. Tied a red ribbon at the top to keep it closed.

Now I have a cute little gift that I hope will make my friend smile.

If you want to make this wonderful little treat bag.

 Click on the Valentine Treat Bag above.

It is so easy.

We would love you to make a project and enter it in the contest this month.

Tilda Vintage Rose

Hello Everyone,

Today is Tilda day.

Meet Tilda with Vintage Roses.

I started out with a 6 1/2 by 11 inch

piece of card stock, folded in half.

I airbrushed the green for the grass and

the blue for the sky.

After stamping the Old Oak Tree and

Tulip Walk Way, I colored them in with my

Spectrum-Noir markers.

I stamped out Tilda and the little snail on

Neenah solar white card stock,

using Tuxedo black memento ink.

Cut them out and put them on with

 mounting foam.

For the grass I used the Martha Stewart

grass punch.

Added some gitter.

Made some flowers to put in the corner.

Then last but not least, the tiny butterfly,

who looks like he's had to much pixie punch, lol.

Is heading for the flowers to take a nap!

For the inside, first I added green paper then a piece of pink butterfly paper.

Added some silver sticker strips.

And now this little card can be given to a special person and you can write what you like.

 I love the Magnolia line of stamps and products.

They are so fun to work with.

I also received the Magnolia magazine

 in the mail, and it is awesome!!

If you would like to know more about

Magnolia and her friends.

Rose Clock

Hello Everyone,

Yes it's Wednesday again, and here I am.

Today I want to show you one of the wonderful stamps

from Stamp It.

Crafter's Companion  is going to be carrying

this great line of stamps.
This is what we will be making today.

This is a brand new month and we have

all kinds of things happening over at the 

Crafter's Companion Blog Site

We have a Contest to see how many members

we can get by February 29th.

You and I both could win, just click on contest

and check it out.

Then you need to pop over to the 

Challenge Blog  where we give away a stamp 

each week.  You can also post the projects

you make with a Crafter's Companion stamp.
The prize this month is the Strawberry Kisses CD ROM and 3 Strawberry Kisses Stamp Sets.

This month's theme is

"Something Sweet"

And you can enter 3 times.

O.K. let's get to the stamp before it takes

 you until next Wednesday to read this.

:) LOL:)

This stamp is called "Rose Clock".

I stamped it out on silver card stock.

Cut out 2 arch shapes, one with the

stamp on it and one plain.

I punched 2 wholes in the cards

 and tied together with ribbon and added

the little flowers.

That way, you can put a sentiment on

the inside.

Now for the gift to go with the card.

When I stamped out the image on the card

I scanned it into the computer and enlarged it

to about 7 x 5 (inches). Cut that out ( same silver card stock)
with a little extra around the edges to embellish.

I colored in the flowers with my

Spectrum-Noir markers.

The clock hands I cut out of black

chipboard. Then added a little 

 Autumn Gold Rub-N-Buff

to give it an  aged look.

                                                                                     

O.K. take a breath, go get a drink,

"of water" :) and we will finish up.

Around the left hand side of the card

 I punched out little heart shaped wholes.

I had a bunch of paper flowers on stems.

Threaded them through the wholes to

frame the stamp, added the bows and

that part is done.

For the last part, I wanted to make this into

a container to hold flowers.

I found a small tin that I purchased

after Christmas. I covered it with some

 pretty paper, ( because I didn't want

 ho ho ho to show through).

:)LOL:)

Then covered that with pink tissue paper.

I attached it to the card with

adhesive foam squares.

Now you can put a small vase of flowers in it.
Depending on the size of the tin, you can get
 a dozen or so flowers in this gift.
Add your little card and your done!

Here is the finished Project.

I had a blast making this.
Please come back next week and see
what else we can make.
If their are any products you would like
to know more about, please ask.


Thank you for stopping by.
Have a scrappy day.
