New card technique, for me ;)

I still consider myself inexperienced in the card making craft. I am always amazed at the talent of so many of the ladies creations I see on the Splitcoast Stampers message board. There is one technique I have seen so many do that I have always wanted to try. So, this weekend I gave it a try.

Below, is my first try at paper piecing using a stamped image. I used one of my new My Favorite Things stamp sets. I cut the umbrella out, colored it with my Prisma pencils. I also covered it with diamond glaze and sprinkled very fine glitter on it to add a touch of bling. Once it dried I used pop up dots to give a 3-d effect.

The next one, I used the same stamps but used patterned paper for the umbrella.

I hope you enjoy!

My 365 project

It has been awhile since I have posted... But, I have been busy keeping up with my scrapbook goal I made this year. I have a goal to complete 365 scrapbook pages this year and so far I have completed 60 pages!! I am sharing a few that I have finished in the last few days. Most of them are made using supplies from kits! I love kits! They save so much time because a lot of them have everything you need to create 4 - 6 layouts and everything co-ordinates.


I finally used my new electronic die cut machine and created the title and flower border used on the layout below called Silly Girls

I hope you enjoy these pages! As you can see, most of the time I am a make simple scrapbook layouts. Most of these pages were created in 15 -20 min. However, sometimes I may spend 1 - 2 hrs on a layout that may have lots of embellishments.
Have a good day!

Winter Storm Sale

I am celebrating surviving the Ice Storm so, I am having a huge sale in the store. Almost everything is on sale 20 - 25% ! That does not include the clearance sections with about 300 products 30 - 70% off. Click here to begin taking advantage of these great savings.

I also wanted to share some of the scrapbook pages I completed for my January goal. My goal was to complete 31 pages. I actually completed 39! These are very simple layouts. I really don't have a set style. Some of my pages I complete have more embellishments than others. Sometimes I stamp on them. Plus, I like to add bling to some.

Below is a 2 page layout I completed using Crate paper and embellishments from this kit.
The Valentine layout I used an old kit I had from Leaving Prints.
In 1996 I went to the Final Four in New York when Kentucky beat Syracuse. The below photos are from a pre-game party we went to before the first game. That is me with the Wildcat ; ) I am going way back trying to get caught up on scrapbooking! The CATS words I made using my diecut machine.

Enjoy!

Winter Storm in Kentucky

I am back! What a week it has been! We got hit hard by the ice storm. Our power was restored last night. Woo hoo!! There are still several without power and/ or water. We were fortunate to have a generator that helped us stay warm by plugging it into the blower on our wood stove (which stopped working after a couple of days) But, we still had a source of heat. We also were able to have TV to be able to keep up with the local news and updates. I am sharing a few pictures of my yard and some of the damage. There is debris everywhere! But that's OK, I know it could be worse. We are expecting bad weather at the beginning of this coming week. Hopefully it won't be as bad....

The picture below is part of my back yard during the ice storm.

Below is a picture taken today of the same area in my yard as above. The temperature finally got above freezing today!

This picture is another tree in my yard during the storm. The picture below it is the same tree after the storm.

One thing I like about this picture if this holly bush is some of the ice cycles are sideways! Below the holly bush is one of the pine trees in my yard. Half of it is gone!

These pictures is just a sample of my yard! We have a lot of clean up to do. But that's OK. Cleaning up our property is nothing compared to what others have to deal with. There are people that lost their life during this storm. Prayers to their families.

On the lighter side, I did complete my January scrapbook goal. I completed 39 scrapbook pages. 326 to go! I sat in the kitchen scrapbooking by the window during the day so I could see ;)

I will be getting back to business! Watch my blog for new sales and premade scrapbook pages!
