Altered Ring Box...

I keep everything. I need to stop doing that and I am trying. I am a hoarder....but NOTHING like what is seen on tv....not even close to that. That is so unimaginable how some of those people live. But, anyway, I always keep my ring and jewelry boxes inside the little cardboard boxes. I have decided to get rid of some of them but instead of thowing them away, I am going to alter them and take into my LSS and let her have them for displays! SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!



Honey Pops...

Ever hear of Honey Pops from Inky Antics? I never did until Mega Meet.....and now I know....they are SOOOOOOO cute!!!!! I got 3 stamp sets and some various honeycombs to go with them. If you do not know what I am talking about....prepare yourself!! (the elephant is my favorite one, though) :o)



House Mouse....

I love House Mouse stamps, although I have very few of them. Thought this one was really cute and I could not resist!!

I also love coloring with Copics....Going to have the opportunity to take a couple classes with Suzanne Dean....and I am Psyched!!!!! I can color just fine with my Copics....but I always have room for improvement and it will be so nice to see her techniques. And, I know I have a lot to learn from her!

Stamping Class Cards...

Ok....so here are the cards I made for my stamping class. I was really only supposed to be doing stamping classes but I started to make those other cards and they were turning out so pretty that those turned into a different class altogether.

Now, here are the cards for my stamping class which will be on May 21st....

Hope you all like them!!

Card Class

ok, the owner of my LSS has roped me into doing some card classes for her...LOL...but, I love doing it so here are the samples for my first class....

These cards all feature the Just Rite stamp set "Seeds of Kindness"

I have also highlighted some Spellbinders dies and a Tim Holtz die.

I used both the I-Rock and pearl pen for my embellishments.

And to top them off I used 2 different Martha Stewart edge punches and a MS butterfly punch.

Had fun doing these cards and looking forward to teaching them in May!!

Happy Stamping!!!!



Tag and Flower

Here are a couple samples I made for a workshop for my LSS. I may change the colors for spring now that is might actually get nice out around here....maybe some pretty Easter colors!!!

Hero Arts stamp, perfect pearls, liquid pearls, grungeboard, distress inks and Tim Holtz tag die and flower die....



Mom's Birthday Card 2011

This is my Mom's birthday card...

The main stamp is from Memory Box and the background stamp (scattered dots) is an old Stampin' Up! stamp.



Birthday card....

Made this card for my girlfriend for her birthday!!!



Valentine's Day 2011

The card I made for my honey for V-day! Colored with copics...love those markers!!!! And love this digi image....a little naughty!! ;)

I BELIEVE!!!!!

I love the vintage look of this card! This was all done with Tim Holtz stamps and embossing folder. I inked it up a bit with Vintage Photo distress ink. Love it!!! Now I am having a hard time deciding who gets what card this year!

and this is what I did to the outside of the envolope! LOVE that snowflake stamp!! (and, yes, it is a Tim Holtz stamp, also!)



Christmas 2010

This is one of my Christmas cards I made for this year. I used a Hero Arts stamp along with my copics for the card front...I added lots of bling to make it sparkle....(I love sparkle!!) The edges are punched with the Martha Stewart loopy border punch...LOVE how it turned out!! The inside was stamped with a Tim Holtz stamp....I love that man!!!

Merry Christmas to you all!!

Monochrome card challenge

Ok, here is my contribution to the Copic Creations challenge of coloring something with all one color. And I thought, what better to do than this stamp from Whipper Snapper with the dust bunnies?? I love this stamp....she is sooooo cute!!

I used my "T" colors 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/9

I embossed the button with silver to tie it in and airbrushed the flower with my Copics to match it up.

Hope you like her!...oh, them...I can't leave the dust bunnies out! :)

I'm Crazy for Copics....Crazy for Copics!!!!!

OK, I just upgraded this post on July 4th, 2013 to show where I am now! lol

Ok, yes, I know that I am officially addicted to these markers. They come in 334 colors and I think I have 302 of them. But I see that they need more colors. I am not happy with the yellow selection for sure. They need more yellows....and greens.....and oranges.....lol

Anyway, I went from this......

(November 15, 2009)

to this......

(March 8, 2010)

TO THIS.......!!!!!

(March 18,2010)

Then to THIS!!

(July 4, 2011)

quickly changed to this color and had it completely filled up 

(July 25, 2011)

I now have THIS!!!

(June, 2013)

 

 This shows a lid so things can be stacked on the top for portability. 

This is a view removed from the tote sitting on the table. 

This is the view I will use from my craft table as the rack will sit on it's side....VERY versatile!!!!!

(The following is from the original post and I am leaving it as it brings a smile to my face!! lol)

I love these markers, but I am out of room....I have to be able to fit the rest of them in this carrier. I have nothing else to tote them around to my classes with. There is a little room in some of the little boxes and I have room on the end.....just hope it enough for the rest of the markers!! Oh, and this tote has a lid that snaps on....LOVE IT!!!!

The Still of the Night...

This card just looks so peaceful and serene....makes me just want to get away from it all for awhile....

I brayered the background and used Copics to color in the cabin and some of the minor details. The stamps are all from Stampscapes. I love these stamps....wish I wouldn't have sold all of mine because now I have to start all over :(
(It's kind of blurry....took it with the webcam....will get a better pic with my camera and post it later)
ok....this is a MUCH better pic!! Hope you like it!!

Birthday Card....

Sorry about the little bit of blurriness...I took this pic with my phone. I don't have a flash on it and it was getting a little dark out. You get the idea, though :)

I made this for a friend of mine. It is for her sister's birthday. I love this stamp! It is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp. I colored it with Copics and love how it turned out!!

Tim Holtz stamping......

I went to the Memories Scrapbooking Expo in Columbus over the weekend...mostly I was very busy working at the Scrap Happy area. But, I did manage to sneak away for a couple of minutes to go check out the Tim Holtz stuff. I love so much of it....and some of it is too abstract for me. I did find some stamp sets to buy, though. I made a tag with some of the stamps so I thought I would share it with you.

I threw a little water on it and then stamped all of my images. Then I decided I wanted more water spots and dropped more water on it.....mistake! It only takes one time to learn not to do something. It ran my black ink....boooo hooooo. I am no longer really happy with it, but thought I would share it anyway. I love the colors.....the middle is broken china distress ink and the edges are done with vintage photo distress ink. I am really liking those distress inks....just have to play with them a little more!!

Blogging.....

Hi everybody!! I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that I am now blogging for my LSS! I am excited that she thinks enough of my work to want me to post on her blog!!! If you all want to pop over and see what is going on, here is the link: http://www.scraphappyohio.blogspot.com/

She is doing some updating to her online store, but once it gets all done and completely updated, I will be able to link right to it for you. I am pretty excited about this and I hope you are, too!!! I will be adding a new post every Tuesday and Friday, so click to be a follower so you don't miss a thing!

Copic Beginner class...

This is the new image for my beginner classes I teach for Copic markers. I get tired of coloring the same thing over and over so I change it up every so often.

....cute little thing! :)
