My Valentine's Girl

Oh, I love this little Hero Arts stamp. I bought her back in November and I didn't even realize how perfect she would be for Valentine cards!

Stazon Tips

I really like Stazon Ink! Here are a few tips I thought I would share with you!

Stazon has this great little clear cover on the inside. Now, this help keep the pad from drying out but I find it is a pain to deal with! I usually end up getting some ink on me, somewhere when I work with these!

SO, I decided to use a glue dot and stick it to the outer cover, permanently. It works like a charm!

Place the glue dot on the " inside center dot" of the outer cover, this way you don't get any on you!

Place clear cover back on ink and then put the outer cover back in place. Give it a little squeeze on the center and you are done!

The next time you open the cover you won't have to worry about that silly clear cover inking YOU up!

Because I am (slightly) OCD (or CDO as my husband calls me) I like to label everything! My inks sit on thier sides in a drawer and the labels make is really easy for to me to find exactly what I am looking for.

Faith Hope Love

I made this floating frame for a client just before Christmas.

I think it turned out beautiful! She is going to put it above her fire place with two black sconces next to it.

Yummy New Goodies!

I always love getting packages in the mail but I especially love them when they contain scrappy stuff!
I splurged and ordered 6 Glimmer Mist! I LOVE this stuff and can't seem to get enough of it! But honestly, I use it ALL the time.




I REALLY love the Old Lace. It is so pretty! But my favorite changes weekly.

How about you? Do you have glimmer mist? Do you love it? What is your favorite color?

Scrappy Goals for the New Year

I have never made scrappy goals but this year I decided to give it a go!
I have been really convicted over the last few months that I scrap for others all the time but rarely scrap for our family. That makes me sad!
SO, this year I promising my family that I will make at least 52 Double layouts for our Family albums! That is one a week and that seems reasonable!
I still have four albums for others to finish up, but I will only do a LO for them when I have completed one for our family. So, let the scrapping begin!!



How about you? Do you have a scrappy goal this year?

Flowers and Butterflies

Here are two more pictures I made for the Bazaar this weekend! With all boys, flowers and butterflies are not something I have at my house!

Signs

I know that I have not posted much on my blog but I have been so busy making all kinds of goodies for the Bazaar on December 4th. It will be here in no time!!

I made wall hanging and Brian told me that he thought they would sell better if it was done in a frame. He gave me an idea and I ran with it!

The "let is SNOW" is made on a floating from and the glass measures 7X16. It has MANY layers of paper and then some vinyl. I LOVE how it turned out and I have made three more "Floating frames" but I need to get some brown frames as I only purchased black ones.




I then decided I wanted to make some decorated frames to sell. I had seen this idea and loved it but I have no purpose for it in my house full of boys. So, I thought the Bazaar was the perfect opportunity to make one.



I liked the Bright girlie one so much I decided to make another with neutral colors. I LOVE how this turned out and I am working on a second one.



I LOVE the phrase "Life is Good" because I believe it is!! The phrase is attached on the outside of the glass by popdots to give it some dimension.
