Humming Bird

Hi Everyone!!

A few weeks ago I went shopping with a Girl Friend and of course we went to the Craft Stores..... I got a few new stamp sets that I just could not put down once I had them in my hands..... This is the Humming Bird from the Inkadinkado-Mind Scapes-99121 set. When you really look at this bird it's made up of butterflies and flowers... just so pretty. Every time I colored it, it's different. On this one I used water pencils and a blending pen.... I'm just starting to try coloring and reached out to a few of my Blog friends and received all kinds of help and advise. I'll be working on my coloring and can tell this is something I'm going to enjoy exploring and finding my niche.

Here's the front, look at the border I did, I used Martha Stewart's border punch Laurel Leaf across the top of the border and then I turned the Laural Leaf corner punch to do across the bottom of the border.  I Like this look with both borders together, almost like lace.

Close up of border...

Inside, I stamped the butterfly from the same set using CTMH inks-Sweet Leaf. The saying is from Cloud9-Simple Thoughts-Laughter.

Will that's it for today... I'm working on a Lady bug should have that posted by tomorrow I hope. 

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

Never Ending Card

This week I was Blog Hoppin and came across a new blog and as always I checked out several pages of new blogs to see if theres anything I'd like to try.  I really which I could remember the blog I was visiting when I came across the Never Ending Card, and she even had a link on how to make it.  Here's the Link

it's a video but very easy to follow...

So anyway, I had to try it and this is what I came up with on my first try.  I know I'm going to make more of these but next time I'll have it planed it out a little better. 

This is the front.....

this is the first fold......

second view.......

Second fold.........

3 view.....

3 fold.......

forth view...... or the back of the card

4 fold......

and that takes you back to the front.... can you believe it????? 

Once you open this card you can't stop opening it... I have to do it at least 2 times every time I start.... it's addictive... really.

Don't be afraid...it may look difficult but believe me it's soooo easy to make...the hard part for me was decorating it.  I'm still not happy with this one but it's for me to use as my guide.  Now that I can see, feel, touch, I'll know better how to tackle my next one.  Just go to the link I have above and it will walk you thru it with all the measurements too.

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Happy Valentine #1

Happy Sunday!!!

Here's that card I was talkin about yesterday!! Yea!! My FIRST card for the New Year... Oh it feels so good to be at my craft table again.  And I went wild with all the goodies I put on this card.  I just wanted to use everything at once..and I may have....

This is a close up of the front. I just love all the parts and pieces on it... I wound 2 ribbons together and then used this gold fussy stuff I got from a discount Christmas bin somewhere, and just wound  that around too. I used stickers on the tag and then attached it with black string and a button.....

 Here's the whole front.....the corners I used a Martha Stewart corner punch, and a new shiny red doily I found this week, and two old Creative Memory's Heart punches. CTMH stamp set Heartthrob (D1309) old also....

This is the inside,  I had to use another doily (new) on the inside but this time it's white but the same size and shape, the more of the old CM hart punches and one new sticker.... Boy I used a lot of OLD things I had, that must mean I got a lot of STUFF!

I did this shot of all the things I used... and pulled together to make my card this time. Kind of Pinky, even the tape gun... Love that tape gun, I waited years before I got this because I though it was just to BIG to use.  But it's very light weight and balanced and the refills are at a very good price... So I got it about 6-months ago and LOVE it. So sorry I waited so long to get it, but so glad I did!!

If you have any questions about how I did something just drop me a line from the Contact me tab at the top of my blog.

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Hi EveryOne!

Morning Everyone!

Will I'm finally back in town for awhile,,,,, YEA!!!! And I'm ready to start creating again. Started working on a Valentines card but not quite finished with it yet. Maybe later today or tomorrow.... Got home Thursday night to guess what...... ALL my Christmas directions yet.... and here I thought some little elf would have been here and put everything away. But NO.... it's all here... Yesterday I went to visit my Mom 87 and Dad 90 for a few hours and help get things back in order. Did some grocery shopping for them and me.... laundry... putting things back... and when I sat down at the end of the day.... Christmas was still staring at me..... Will today's the day. OUT with the old and in with the clean... sounds good to me, now I'll have to see if I can do it. Need to pack all Mom's Christmas things this morning first so after I have a few cups of coffee off I go to packing her things and visiting with both of them for a few hours. I am so lucky to have both my parents and so close too. There just a few doors down from me so I just put on a jacket and off I go. But when I get back I'm going to CLEAN this house of all signs of Christmas and get it all packed away for Next year. I have to sort thur some of these boxes too. I need to get rid of some of the things I just don't put out anymore. So someone else can enjoy them.

Like I said, maybe later today or tomorrow I'll post my Valentines card I've been wanting to do...

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!
