Time to Shop.........

 Here is my current wishlist:

Pearl brads.........i saw them on a few cards while browsing and love the look.I am planning on getting them in assorted colors.

I love these in the photo since they are bezel set,i would love some like these as well as unset ones .

I am so intimidated by my many stamp sets since i can't seem to line them up correctly.I was so happy to  hear that the Stamp a ma Jig was invented,now i can stamp my little heart out.

With my Stamp a Ma Jig i plan on getting velum paper so i save the image with the stamp sets instead of having to do a new one each time.

I am also brand new to Distress Ink so i think a few of Tim Holtz pads are due,Antique linen looks like a must have .

I am currently obsessed with my   border punch  Threading Water by Fiskars.Until Fiskars newest are released in September i would love to add these to my collection.

 

I am really starting to like the border punches and using my decor scissors less and less.Does anyone even use decor scissors anymore??

 I am also interested in embossing......so i guess i will need embossing powder and a heat gun.

Embossing with a Cuttlebug also interest me,but i m not 100% sure i am getting this ,this item may get scratched off my list or not,we'll see.

Of course no shopping trip is complete with a few pieces of pattern paper ,more cardstock and some embellishment and who knows what else

So whats on your list or whats the last crafty item you purchased?

Friends make you feel warm inside ........

 This card was done for a challenge posted over at Splitcoaststampers.com 

The challenge was to represent heat in your card by technique or image.Since i haven't experimented with  or even own a heat gun i knew my only option would be image or theme.

I must say doing this challenge was a bit harder for me than the sketch challenge i did about a week ago,but it was fun putting it together.

A challenge......

Here is a card i worked on last night for a card challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.com

This is the first challenge i've done there,and i see lots more i want to do .There are also scrapbooking challenges as well and i can't wait to get into those.

This challenge was to follow a given sketch.

After doing the inside of my last card i felt that this one was incomplete unless i did the inside as well.

 

Blog Candy Alert!!

A sneak peak!

Don't know where i found the time to get this done since i was knee deep in laundry today.Do you know how much laundry a family of 6 can pile up each week !

I really need to teach the kids how to do their own ,that way i can make more cards : )

I have  many unused stamp sets from SU ,so i decided to just grab the first in sight and this was the one i grabbed,so i made a Happy Birthday Card.

I am thinking this card best suits a girl since the cupcake is pink .

I used SU Big Bold Birthday stamps on this card,can't remember what the exact SU colors are that i used though.

This is my first attempt doing the inside of a card.

I used Fiskars Threading punch here.

Finally the weekend........so much to do ,but at least i don't need to be up at 6:30 AM !!

What  i want to accomplish this weekend:
Organize my photos,prints and digital
Place an order for prints
Work on a card with my 6 yr old
Finish my current book  Girl in Translation
Organize my closet


Just realized its been years since i had any of my photos printed.They are all saved on an external HD ,but i don't have any actual prints of them.I remember the days before i got my digital camera ,when i loved flipping through actual photos now i do that on my computer and its just not the same.
I need to start working on organizing my photos and   place an order for prints soon .

Ahhhh.....Finally what i've been waiting for .......I   finally have a scrap buddy!!

My 6 yr old daughter was always  by my side when i did the cards and bookmark i posted recently.Now she is constantly asking me when she can make a card all by herself.
I can't imagine letting her have access to all my SB goodies unattended, so of course i will be there guiding her along.

  Happy Friday!!
