Visiting Grandma.

Glimmer Mist and New Stamps

Its always fun when I get to play with no real purpose in mind. Here I started with a piece of ivory cardstock, sprayed 3 colors of glimmer mist over a crumpled piece of tissue paper that was lying on top of my cardstock and brayered over top of it. Then I dried it with my heat tool before lifting off my paper and finished drying the ivory paper. I then attached it to my base card and stamped the corners with burgundy versacolor and clear embossed it. Next was cutting the three ovals with my spellbinders and running the green and burgundy ovals through a cuttlebug embossing folder. I stamped the lamp in burgundy and charcoal versacolor and clear embossed it.

Christmas Decorating

A Major Project Finished

After approxamately 70 hours of work I've finally finished this paper pieced tree skirt that measures 60"x60".

Christmas cards

Well I have a good start on my Christmas cards, 22 down only 50 more to go. The nice thing about these cards are that I used up some of my old paper stash. The paper and pictures are from Hot Off the Press. I'm hoping now that my craft room is almost done I can be a lot more creative and finish my projects sooner. Already I'm finding that I can be more productive because clean up is so much easier with my stuff all having a designated spot to go back to.

Back to creating

I finally created something just for fun, not something that had to be out the door yesterday.So I could actually take some pictures. I decided to challenge myself to see how many cards I could make using two 8"x8" pieces of paper and just some basic 4.25"x 5.5" blank cards, trying to use up all of the paper. The paper I used was from DCWV Sweet 8"x8" paper stack and the stamps were from Crafty Secrets.
