Dustin's TWO

No it's not Dustin's BD, I'm just way early....... this is for his BD in December.....But I found this CUTE little boy blowing bubbles and it looked just like him.  So I had to get it and made his card right away. 

I so enjoyed coloring him too... he really does look like little Dustin..

 

Here's a close up of the layers and the bubbles, I put 2 layers of Glossy accents on the big bubbles and there real deep. 

And here's the inside,  I reused the same papers and die cut some clouds...

It was really very simple, but it looks very nice.

 

Will that's it for today... What do you think?

(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)

Every Wednesday Julie Dunnit hosts a gathering of crafters from all over the world to share what they are working on with a pic of our play area.  It's really fun to see all the different things people are working on, and I must say I've meet some very interesting people from Julie's site.

Thanks Julie!!!!!!

Before I show you mine, I'd like to thank you for stopping by my place and visiting! I so enjoy reading your comments and encouragement!

 

 Well here we are... right in the middle of things.  I've been working on some coloring and still have a few more to do.  I just finished putting the second coat of Glossy Accents on the little boys bubbles.  I have 2 more of him stamped and plan to make a red head and a brunette.  Also have 2 more of the blow fish to color, I know I'm going to make one pink and we'll just have to wing the last one.  

OK,,, that's it. Now I'm off to do some visiting. See Ya :)

1st Christmas Balls card

Will here's my first card using the Christmas balls I posted on Wednesday. 
I really like how it turned out, but I must say it took me about an hour to get the idea moving in my head. 

Here a close up.... it show all the different things I used.  The main Christmas ball was stamped with Versa and then embosed with Stardust Transparent, the sparkle shows up nicely here, then I placed it into the Grace's Frame embossing folder, then I cut that out close the the frame and rounded the corners.  The next layer was made with Gold poster board I got at Hobby Lobby and cut it down into usuable pices, here I used Spellbinder die called A2 Polka Dots/S5-133. The ribbon and bow were just some I had already.  

Here's the whole front....... it's quit pretty in person, I don't think it shows thru here.

On the inside I used the left over pice of gold from the front and then used Grace's Frame again,  I tryed to edge it with gold but it did not look right so I put some black over it and will that's with I got, think I'll leve it alone next time. The verse is from a Flourishes set called Winter Berries/SS255, and No your not seeing doubble, I stamped it twice. Dont think I'll do that again either.....the first time I used Encore metallic silver and did't show I went over it with Grey Flannel.

So what do you think?

Christmas Balls.....

Today I'm trying different heat embossing out on this Judi-Kins / Enameled Christmas - 2884 G.

The one on the left is stamped with Versa and embossed with Jiudi Martallic Gold.  This gold is a nice heave gold look, very rich looking.

Center was also stamped with Versa and embossed with Stardust Transparent.  Now this one is more a tone on tone with sparkles in it, I like this one because it's a little sidle.

On the right was stamped with White Daisy and embossed with winter wonderland Opazue. I like this one too, the white has a sparkle in it too.

I don't think the sparkles are showing up in the photo thow.

Which one do you like???

29 ???? Realy?

Are we celebrating 29 ...again?
 
Yes that is the question.......
This sweet lady is a stamp set by Art Impressions call what else.... 29 Again / 4372.
She was quick and easy to color and I even did a little shading with her. 
Stamped two balloon's and popped that up too.

Here you can see the layers and that I edged all the papers with a dark brown. 

and the inside, just a little strip of the same papers I used on the front and a cute verse.

That's it for today.

Wood Mount stamps compleated

Hi All

For the last week I've been recuperating from Eye surgery and still can't see out of my left eye very well.....  but wanted to complete my last phase of Organization of all my stamps into one place and container. It's been 1 month and 3 days since I started changing my Wood mounted stamps into Cling Mount.... and I can finally say I'm DONE,,,,, YEAAAaaaaaaa **********

Here's a shot of the SU boxes with just the wood blocks in them and the New way I have the stamps filled in these nice Avery Elle Storage pockets. 

The stack of 36 SU boxes was  over 41 inches tall and now fit into a file draw 13.5 long by 6.75 wide. 
OH MY LANDS what a difference this has made. All I need to do now is file them in with all my other stamps that I have already put in the Avery Elle pockets.

 

 I have them filed by Birthday, Thank You, Fun, Old Folks, Kids, Flowers & Bugs, etc........just not having to go and look for lets say a flower stamp in the 4 draws where all my SU were and a box I had all my CTMH in and binders I had all my clear stamps in, lets just say I had know idea where anything was anymore and just was not happy. I just LOVE that I have this phase of my Organization completed and now going to just sit back and enjoy it before I move on to my next phase.......

 

And maybe in a few weeks I'll be able to see better too... If these pics are blurry all I can say is I'm sorry and I'll redo them when I can tell...but just had to post this today I could not wait*******
