Blog Hop With Bo Bunny!

Good morning!  

I am excited to be a part of the Bo Bunny and Scrapbook Adhesives Blog Hop!

I used these cute papers, Kiss the Cook, from Bo Bunny.  I used my Silhouette to cut the mixer shaped card.  I used Scrapbook Adhesives 3D foam tape for the layers as well as stacking my flower. 

 

I attached my sequins using Dodz Mini.  (So much easier than messy wet glue!)

I wanted to add some additional "frosting" to my mixer, so I used liquid applique.  I did several layers so that it was nice and thick.  While the liquid applique was still hot, I sprinkled glitter over it.  

I am so glad you stopped by! Be sure to pop on over to the Scrapbook Adhesives and Bo Bunny blogs for a chance to win prizes! 

Have a great day!!

Eskimo Kisses!

Happy Tuesday to you! 

I love making ornaments to give away to friends and family (and some to keep)! I pulled out an old set from Crafty Secrets and stamped the image in grey on kraft card stock.  I wanted to try my hand at "no line" coloring.  (Not sure I really succeeded).  I used my Prisma Colored Pencils.

I cut the image out with a die from Tattered Rose.  I threaded a bit of string through it. I tied some silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Store, with a jingle bell, and adhered it to the corner of the circle.  I dipped the edges of my circles in glue and added some glittery flakes.  

This week is spirit week at school! Yesterday we wore our holiday hats and today is crazy sock day!

I love this time of year when the kids are excited and anticipating Christmas!  I think I appreciate it even more now that my own kids are grown. :)

My own kiddos come home next week for the holidays too.....so all is good in my world!

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Christmas Ornament using 3D Foam Shapes!

Good morning! I am full swing into Christmas mode these days.....decorations up, shopping done, presents wrapped, Christmas crafts created, and now the start of all of the holiday parties begins! It's always such a fun, but hectic time of year.  :)

I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog today with a complete tutorial on how I created this ornament using 3D Foam shapes.  (And of course, bucket  loads of glitter!)

I so appreciate you stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Clear Shaker Ornaments!

Good morning!  I apologize for my absence!

My kiddos were home for the week and we were trying to cram in lots of family time. :)

I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog today with a tutorial on how I created these two clear shaker ornaments. They were so much fun to make!

And this is my reason for not posting all week! 

I am volunteering at Misericoridia today.  Every year there are about 20 of us who volunteer to bake in their bakery.  My best friend who passed away 7 years ago's sister coordinates this every year in her memory. It reminds me how incredibly blessed I am.

Thank you for stopping....this gal is ready to put her hair net on and roll some cookie dough! 

Give Thanks....

Good morning!

Today's card is my last fall card for the year.

Then you will see lots of snowmen, ornaments, and Christmas trees!

I used a Tim Holtz stencil and inks to create the background.  I added white veins to the leaves using white gel pen.  I spritzed it with Goosebumpz spray to add "water" droplets. SRM's sentiment from Live Life/Calendar Year was perfect for this card.  Gold sequins and sheer ribbon finished it off. 

My kiddos are still sleeping......and love that they are both home in their own beds. 

My heart is complete.

Today I will have a full house, good food, and a warm house to share with my family.

I am so incredibly grateful for all that I have, (including you! and this wonderful hobby!)

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Harvest of Blessings

Good morning friends!I have a quick fall post for you today!  (I am still in disbelief that Thursday is Thanksgiving already!) 

I made a treat bag using My Favorite Things Harvest Mouse stamp set. I masked off the moon/mouse/leaves and inked it with various shades of yellow, orange, and red.  I colored the main image with Prisma Colored Pencils. 

I added stars and highlights with my white gel pen as well as few craters to the moon!

A doily was glued to the inside.

It is all ready for treats to be placed inside!

Both my kiddos come home this week! It will be such a blessing to be surrounded by my family!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I Pick You!

Good morning! 

Today I have a little treat envelope using this cute stamp set from My Favorite Things.  The set is called, Harvest Mouse.  I stamped it on a tag and I colored it with my Copic markers. 

I added some glittery clouds around the sentiment.  I stamped additional leaves on the bag and colored those with Copic markers as well.  I ribbon and button were the finishing touches.  

I know this is a crafty blog and you may want to throw tomatoes at your computer screen that I am posting about this.  But 4 months ago I decided to become a consultant for Rodan + Fields.  I looked at it as a great business opportunity, but quickly fell in love with their skin care products!  Here is a little background about this amazing company.  Rodan + Fields was started by the same doctors who created ProActiv.  They now offer four regimens for the most common skin problems such as, wrinkles, sagging skin, large pores, acne, redness, sun spots etc. I knew that my skin felt better, but until I came across my old school picture, from TEN years ago, I hadn't realized how much better my skin looked.  The picture on the left is me at 35 and the picture on the right is me today, at 45 years old.  My acne is cleared, redness gone, wrinkles kept at bay.....

Until now, I did not feel good about my skin. I caked the foundation on trying to hide my skin. Now....no foundation. None. Nada, Zilch. 

If you are interested in learning more about Rodan + Fields please feel free to email me.
