Keeping busy! Using more of my recent stash.

Art Journalling

2020-03-28T19:16:00.000-06:00

I figured I needed to add some pages to my Art Journal that reflect the current times. I saw something similar on the internet and had some fun with it.

Using some of my stash!

2020-03-26T17:00:00.000-06:00

More time in my craft area. This is my happy place during our social distancing time. I am trying to do a bit a day to just escape from the craziness that is our world right now.

So more cards, this time using very old alcohol inks (which didn’t go well, although a little rubbing alcohol helped.). I also used some of my Copic re-Inkers when the old inks were not “running” the way I wanted. I did find out that the alcohol lift ink did not work at all on my Copic or the old ink. My original plan was to play with the alcohol lift ink but that went south so I just stuck with stamping instead. Enjoy!

What to do?

2020-03-25T18:44:00.000-06:00

So I have decided that if I buy anything I need to use it up right away. Trying not to add more to my stash! So due to all this social distancing I finished up some cards with paper that I recently purchased for male themed cards. I never seem to have a stockpile and make them as needed, that isn’t always practical, so I decided to stick up on a few cards. Enjoy!

Easter Cards

2016-03-25T19:25:00.001-06:00

Having some Easter fun. Cards I started yesterday and finished today.

Sunday's Project's

2015-12-15T21:40:00.001-07:00

Finally assembled these cards, coloured the images a while ago! These are to be mailed so they need to lay a bit flatter! It's nice to finally get a bit of crafting time in!

I managed to also sneak in a bit of colouring, the trees and snowman...

Saturday's Project

2015-12-13T11:30:00.001-07:00

After "fighting" with my Cricut and finally finding the power cord for my Silhoutte I finally managed to finish these cards. They were from a kit but I was missing a few parts so I improvised!

More Copic fun

2015-10-25T15:28:00.001-06:00

Starting to work on possible Christmas cards.

Today's project

2015-10-25T15:26:00.001-06:00

Playing with my Copics and a Northwoods stamp.

Colour, colour, colour... and cut!

2015-05-19T22:07:00.003-06:00

I spent last Friday and Saturday taking workshops from Copic international, it was so much fun (other than on my way there on Friday when I cratered the transmission on my Mustang.. :( )

Anyway I have been playing since.

I had so much fun... I think the Green Dress is my favourite! I can't wait to design some classes!

When I was done I tried out my Pix Scan mat for my Silhouette and it cut them out so nicely. (I am not so good with scissors so I am loving this)

Stamp source(digital stamps): http://www.tiddlyinks.com/

I need more time to colour and less time working!

Two More Days...

2015-05-12T21:33:00.001-06:00

I am so excited... 2 more days until my Copic class! I can't wait to learn some new techniques!

Excited!

2015-04-21T22:02:00.001-06:00

So excited I am pretty much done another album... next up printing pictures for the next one. I may yet get caught up before they have to put me in the ground! HA HA! :)

I am very excited about a new logo that I designed... I also turned into a Store Sign... I can't wait to share it, as soon as it's up I will post a pic!!!

Night!

Catching up...

2015-04-08T20:39:00.002-06:00

Well it looks like I am on the right track now. I hauled out all of my half done, sort of started scrapbooks for my kids. I actually almost finished a book, only 3 pages left. Next up print pictures for the next book and finish that one. That will take me well into 2008. I need to finish up to the end of 2010 then 2011 and 2012 are done digitally. So I am getting somewhere! Here is to cleaning up my big mess.. 5 year project? :)

Finally!

2015-03-14T21:27:00.002-06:00

Well it seems like forever but I am finally getting some scrapbooking done. Loving my new Cricut.

My first project was a card...

Oh No...

2015-03-08T21:13:00.000-06:00

Well I have finally done it.... pulled out all my 'almost' and 'sort of' finished scrapbooks back to 2005. Now it's time to clean-up, get stuff into the books and out of dated 'buckets'. I have crap everywhere... so now I am going to leave it out until it's DONE! I am thinking it could be a 5 year plan? Oiy, why can I never finish anything?

Wish me luck!
