Mandi

Hi Everyone,

Today I found out that one of

our crafting comunity members

has lost their precious fur baby Mandi.

(loving Dog)

My heart goes out to Cindy and Kevin.

Mandi, peacefully passed away in the arms

of her loving fur baby mom, Cindy.

Mandi has been with them for a long time.

She has had a lot of heath issues.

Now she is playing, chasing, rabbits and squirrels over the rainbow bridge.

She will be missed.

All of our loving prayers go out to you both.

With Deepest Sympathy

We love you.

Easter Bunny Gift Tag

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited about the new Beatrix Potter Stamps,

and embellishments.

I just love all the characters.

Last year my stepson Devin, gave me a chocolate bunny.

It was Peter rabbit.

So I made a stamped tag to go with it.

I will keep the bunny forever, and the tag 

 gave it just the right touch.

I stamped Benjamin Bunny on the tag

and colored him in with my

Spectrum-Noir Markers.

Then added some flowers and a bow.

Using these stamps, makes it so easy to add

just a little something extra to a gift or a card.

You can find all of the Beatrix Potter 

stamps and embellishments over at

Crafter's Companion.com.

Pop over and take a look.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

 leave a comment.

_____________________________________________

Hi Everyone,

I am reposting this today.
My daughter did two more tattoos,
and this time I was very honored to be
able to watch one of them.

The first one is a survivor ribbon.
This wonderful lady was told at
age 12 that she had ovarian cancer.
They had to take one and a half of her
ovaries. She has been cancer free for
8 years now and has a beautiful
baby girl. A little angel sent from heaven!
This is her tattoo:

The next lady I will let Jenn tell you about.

Hi everyone, I had a great time doing this

tattoo today. This little lady drew this rose

when she was 17 and has always wanted

it as a beautiful tattoo. So I brought it to life

for her. Another reason I has such a great

time today is that my mom was able to sit in  and watch me for the first time. That made it super special :)

These are some of the pictures of the day:

I had a great time today seeing my daughter

doing these wonderful tattoos.

I hope you liked them also.

I will keep updating these as they come in.

Thank you for stopping by.

_________________________________

 Today I wanted to show off

a work in progress.

My daughter Jennifer is an amazing artist.

This is the latest Tattoo she is working on.

This is the outline, and it took about

4 hours to do.

She did this for her sister's birthday gift.

It still needs the coloring and shading.

I will post pictures as soon as they come in.

I am so proud of her.

Her favorite tattoo personality is

Kat Von D. I know Jenn would

love for Kat to see her work.

So if any body knows Kat, tell her to

pop over to my blog and take a look.

Also this is one that was just finished today,

it was done on her husband, Eugene.

It is for his aunt Judy, She just went through

surgery for a partial mastectomy.

She may have to have surgery again.

Your prayers are welcome.

Thank you for stopping by.

And go get inked!!

lol

Have a scrappy day!!!

Easter Egg Fun

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to thank Dawn for

the honor of being guest designer

on her blog.
 http://www.dawnscraft.com/

Dawn is amazing, as you well know, and

has so many wonderful projects.

She has helped me in so many ways

in my journey as a blogger and crafter.

This is what I have created today, I

hope you enjoy the Easter eggs.

I started with white acrylic paint

 and some paper mache eggs.

Painted them white, and let them dry.

Then pulled out some twinkling H20s,

rub ons and crafting foil.

You can use any kind of rub ons.

( The bugs are great for the boys)

I purchased these at the local craft

store. And the Fairyopolis decals are from

Crafter's Companion.

Then just have fun.

Rub the decal on first, then paint

over the top with the H20's.

If you don't have the H2o's just use

watercolor paints with a little pearl ex.

Or you can get "Iridescent Medium", and that makes everything water based sparkle.

(You can get that at Michael's)

After you get the eggs the way

you want them, just spray with a

glossy sealant. This way even if they

get wet they will be O.K.

For the craft foil, I just sprayed the

eggs with a good tacky glue and wrapped

the foil around it, and peeled it off.

Then sealed it.

So easy!

These eggs are for the older children,

or the  adult baskets, please do not put

them in the little ones baskets.

They may think they can eat them,

and that would be a no no.

Here are a few more pictures of some

 of the eggs I made, I hope you enjoy

them.

You will have splits and cracks

when you use the rub ons.

They were not designed to be put on

a round surface. Just do the best you can.

They are not meant to be perfect.

Just have fun!!!

These were so fun to make!!

Maybe this would be something you might

want to do with the kiddos.

The paper mache eggs can be kept.

You can use water color paints, just

like the ones they use in school.

And stickers.

Put some old clothes on the children

and make a day of it.

Start a new tradition.

If you have any questions about products

or techniques, please let me know.

Thank you for stopping by.

&

Have a happy Easter everyone.

Sheena Douglass,Treasures

Hi Everyone,

Today I will be working with the new stamps by

 Sheena Douglass

From her stamp line "A little bit sketchy".

I used this stamp to make a birthday card.

After layering brown, yellow and green card stock.

I stamped the image on white card stock and airbrushed it

with  splashes of green. I colored it in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

I used a little 3-D Crystal-Lacquer over the

 windows to give it a glossy look.

Then added the sentiment card with the

skeleton leaves and flowers.

I just love the Sheena Douglass line of stamps.

Pop over to 

 Crafter's Companion.com

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog,

 Hello my crafty friends., Cathy here, 

Did you all have a nice weekend?  Did you all have fun celebrating St. Patrick's day.  I sure did, the weather here in Maine was gorgeous, specially Saturday.  Come on Spring!!!     

     Well, today is a special day for me, I was asked to be a guest designer  by Kathy at Kathy's Double K Krafts.  When she asked me, I was so excited..  The blogging  world is still kind of new to me, as well as the card making.  I just started a little over a year ago and I am so in love with it.  Soooo, that being sad, I set my mind to thinking what can I make for this special day, and the card below is what I came up with.  I tried to choose some festive papers to portray the excitement in making the card   for today.  I recently won these papers in a giveaway from  GlimpsesCrafts.com blog and thought they would be fun.

   As you can see, I decided to add "Hilda Hippo Tear bear"  which I made with the template and supplies I bought from   http://www.thebearyscrap.com/ recently.  I just love the patterns, they are made from acrylic and last forever.  Below you will find a list of the supplies i used for today's project.


1~Cardstock from DCWV
2~Prima marketing flowers
3~White ribbon
4~Rhinestones from Michael's
5~ Atg gun
6~"Hilda...fabri-tac, Mulberry paper, waterbrush, tools to brush the paper

Yay Spring!!!

Hi Everyone:

Here in Ohio, it's in the 70's
all week. And it feels like spring.

Today, I  wanted to make a little

treat box with flowers.

I found three sites on You Tube,

and used all the techniques to

make this project.

The first site is from Tami White, this lady is awesome. Thank you for the hat tin project.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMHN-5vOqFk.

The second site is from Vadeler,

she is amazing.

Thank you for the Lily Flowers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq12tg8T4v4

And I made the stamens from the

Happyscrapbooker video. She made flowers.

I used the technique to make stamens.

Thank you so much...

There is also a video to make your own

Faux Flower Fluff.

Thank you Usyungs.

I want to thank all the wonderful

 people who help us to create projects.

Videos &Tutorials are very hard to do, and take a lot of time and energy.

It's like having teacher's right

there to help you.

So the next time you are watching a

tutorial or video, make sure

you tell the person thank you.

This is my project for today:

 

 

 

I had a great time making this project.
