My Little Crafter

My oldest daughter created this one today. I'm soooo impressed with her creativeness!!!!

I wish I can say the same for me... yesterday, I took a break to clean my table and I knew that starting over again with a clean table will just screw me up. I was in my craft room till 3:00 am and have nothing to show for! (We had some friends over last night for supper and drinks. And since I don't drink, I decided to have coke instead. That was my second coke for the day and boy... was I wired! So, I decided to do more cleaning and organizing till 3 am)

I even re-organized all of my scraps. "LOL" Well... when you throw all of them out, there's nothing really left to re-organize.

And that is how my daughter created this master piece.

Break Time

Wow, I think it's time to clean my craft room! I started making the cards for my class and so far I have done 5 (that's total of 50 cards ready to be put together) I'm so happy... I only have 5 more to go and I need them done by the end of this week.

Staying home today...

We were gonna meet some friends at the Zoo today, but had to postponed because of the rain. The sun is trying to come out, but it's very windy and cool. I guess we're just gonna have to stay in and do more crafting.

I have never done a card where there's no image. I have been wanting to use Labels 4 and the image I wanted to use was a bit too big. It's still the distressing technique and a little bit of alcohol ink with blending solution.

Rock the Farm

Again, I used the distressing technique. The one thing I like about this distressing is that It doesn't ruin the colored image. Of course I used copic markers and even when you sponge on top, it doesn't alter the colours (It might, if you sponge it very hard)

I did a little bit of doodling too. I wanted to use my Opaque pen by Inkssentials for the doodling part, but the ink was not flowing consistently. I have 5 of them and not one is working (maybe I'm storing them the wrong way)

Check out what my girls have been up to. Our poor dog! at least she's not wearing a princess dress.

Till next post, Thanks for bloggin' by!

First Kiss

I used Sarah Kay stamp for this one and colored it with my copic. I was inspired by Jennifer, that I just had to try some of the technique from her tutorial.

I just love that distress look about it. Wait till you see my next post.. it's my fav!

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Congratulations

I just love that border punch by Martha Stewart! This one was requested by hubby, who gave me 4 days notice. And of course... Miss procrastinator here, didn't do it till the night before. I didn't get to bed till 1 in the morning. I did 4 cards though...

Relax and smell the coffee or tea

You're probably sick of orange and green combo eh? As I said before... when I get stuck, I usually reach for my favorite green. And since I found some Daisy Bucket DP, I just had to use it. And look... "LOL" it's green and orange!

I just finished the order and there will be more cards to post. Now I can start my 10 cards for my class.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Penny Black

I can't even tell you what DP I used for this one. I can tell you that I used Labels 3 with a corner punch for the main image. And of course... EK border punch.

I have been watching two peas videos by Jennifer where she uses Distress Inks and other product by Ranger.

I have some of the ink pads and inks, but can't wait to get the ink dabber and crackle paint. The link is from Mel Stampz, you should check out her blog too. She is one AMAZING lady!

It's Monday!

That means it's Mojo Monday! I always look forward to the beginning of the week, so I can check the Mojo Monday blog. Have to print some of them to add to my Mojo book.

This card is not a Mojo Sketch. I found some scraps and thought I should use it. "LOL" especially when it's green and orange combo.

I think today will be a Lazy Monday for us. We are just gonna stay home and craft. I know I still have to finish that order and also have to prep for a Scrapbook day (some of our friends' kids are asking if they can come over for a craft day) total of 6 girls including mine.

Thanks for bloggin' by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Smokin' Hot

Ahhhhh.... We can do what the hedgie is doing today. It's going to be really hot today and tomorrow. The only thing we are doing today, is to organize our basement, so we have a cooler place to hang out.



I was trying to do one of the Mojo sketch, but my image was too big. I guess I'm gonna have to try again. I hope I will be able to play tonight and maybe finish that order for my SIL. I also have my class set for the 29th of August, which is a week after we get back from California. I guess I'm gonna have to start that too before we leave.

Thanks for bloggin' by,

Get well soon

I'm liking this colour combo more and more. I just love it when you have no clue what you're doing and then you come up with something that you like at the end.



The image I got from Shannon, which is the one I colored when she gave me that one-on-one copic tutorial. Thanks to her, for I don't use anything but my copic markers. I remember when I bought them from Shelley and wondering what did I get my self into. Spent hundreds of dollars and can't color S*@#. But... with practice, practice, practice I got the hang of it. Don't get me wrong... I still struggle with the shadowing part.

Rain Rain Go Away

I think the little mouse is thinking of the same thing. We just came home from a play date and my girls are already complaining that they are bored. I'm already booking them for more play dates next week and hopefully they can come out and play. "LOL" I wish I can set a craft date for me. Can you come over and play?


Thanks for bloggin' by,

Perfect Day to PLAY

It's a rainy day today and it's a good day to stay inside and play. My SIL placed an order last month and I thought it would be a wise idea, to have them done before we leave for California.

The background is Tim Holtz technique (alcohol ink with alcohol blending solution) and added some Stick with it by Doodlebug Design for some bling~bling.

And of course... I used my copic to colour the image. It's funny how I don't use anything else but my copic. My girls can actually borrow my stampin up markers and prisma pencils to do their own card. They are happy about this sharing thing... but they are just wondering when will I share my copic with them. I don't think I'm ready to share my copic with them yet... LOL.

I'm Back

Our basement is finally dry and we were able to put everything back in place. The only place that didn't get wet was the bathroom and my CRAFT room. But because we had to pull the rug off, we had to move things around and some of it went in my craft room. The water... was from the outside tap ( my girls are in the back yard a lot and they usually water my garden from time to time and might of left the water on.)

The card is very simple, but colourful (I think) But then you should know by now, that anything with green will be colourful to me.

More glitter glue

This one is the same as the last post. Acetate with glitter glue. LOL, I think my little grumpy guy is tiered of green.

Well... our basement is a mess and that's including my craft room. It was flooded last Friday and we were busy over the weekend drying it up. I was trying to get some crafting in between and can't wait till every thing is back to normal.

Thanks for bloggin' by,

Thanks a bunch!

Here's a card that's not green for you. The same technique though, acetate with glitter glue.

***This was yesterday's post, I guess I forgot to publish it.***

It was a beautiful day today. We just came back from a Birthday Party and the ride home was a bit chilly. Hubby took the top, windows and doors off his jeep. It was a nice ride when the sun was out, but when the sun went down... it was pretty cold. Even though it was a rough ride and the wind blowing my youngest one still managed to take a short nap.

Enjoy your day and thanks for bloogin' by!

One of a kind

Another green card for you. I don't know if you can see, but my image was stamped on acetate then colored from the back with glitter glue. I made them a while back (last year) lol, and just using them now.

Kind a lazy when it comes to stamping images. I like to mass produce, that way I don't have to keep cleaning the stamps.

And the flower embellishment, I got from Michael's (of course!) a pack of sequins that I just layered together with wire and beads. It would of been a lot easier if the holes were big enough to use a brad to hold it together.

Happy Canada Day!

We are OFF!

Yesterday was our last day! No more going to bed early.. no more snoozing the alarm clock 2..3..4.. times before getting out of bed. Ahhhhh... I have been waiting for this day. BUT GUESS who's up at 6 AM today? Yup! Me, Myself and I.
A little bit excited because we might be going to DISNEY LAND!!! If we do...We are not going to tell the girls. We are just going to surprise them. I think mommy is more excited... shopping will be in VEGAS baby!!

Okay excitement aside... I also created something last weekend. Something green!! LOL, I really have to get out of my little green box.

Baby Boy

Our neighbor across the street ordered a card for a new baby boy. I did a garage sale last weekend and sold about 10 cards. wohoo! now I turn around and buy more stuff.

Well... it is gorgeous outside today! Hope you're enjoying your weekend and Thanks for bloggin' by.

Cal~Gals Challenge

It was my turn to bring the sketch for the Cal~Gals challenge and I used one of the PB sketch.

I'm very happy how it turned out, even though it took me forever to complete it.... I was having a hard time cutting my paper straight.

As usual... it was a blast to see the Gals. Can't wait for the next meeting.

Class of 2009

My niece is graduating High School today and this is the card I made for her from me. The paper that I used is by g.c.d small dots from Michael's. One side is the shiny silver and the other side is the red small dots. I wanted to add more to it, but thought better leave it the way it is.

Yes... another border punch! I think I can open up my own Micheal's and sell nothing but punches. This one is for her also, from her Nono and Nona.

And this one is from her Mom and Dad. The cap, diploma and gown embellishments is by 'Just Jinger' from Michael's.

Birthday/Farewell Party

I was so busy trying to finish 3 Graduation cards last night, that I forgot about today's party. And of course I realized that late last night... oh at about 11:00 pm (past my bed time ) So... I had to cheat and use my computer for a quick fix.

A little bit of embossing and I was done. In bed before 11:30, but didn't go to sleep till 1 am (lol, I watched half of GRAN TORINO)

Mojo 86

I have been wanting to do a mojo sketch for a while now, but just couldn't find the time. Last Saturday was a perfect day to craft with our crappy weather. The stamp is by Magenta. I used my fav paper by Daisy Bucket and of course had to use my new ek success edger punch.

Happy Anniversary

It is so much easier to make a card when you have colored images ready by your finger tips.

I still have 3 more Anniversary cards to do for this month. That's not even including the 8 Birthday cards that's due this month also.

I'm not feeling this one at all... I think it's because the gold color is not my thing. My SIL placed an order for 21 cards and this one is due Saturday (yesterday) I had a week to create, but as usual... waited till the very last minute.

LOL, I think the inside is much better than the front.

Mother Father

Ta da.... don't you just love that sight?

Here's a closer look of what we woke up with this morning! We planned on doing a street garage sale for this weekend and there's no space for my plants in the garage. I guess I could of covered them last night... but didn't get around to it. I guess we are not doing the garage sale today!

I was hoping for this kind of weather. Oh well..... I guess we can just dream about it. Any who..

here's a card I wanted to share with you. I thought I better create something and update my blog.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Have a wonderful day

I'm liking this color more and more. I think it's December from Bazzill bling. I have been playing with my nesties and this is what I came up with. I have another one waiting for me patiently in my craft room, but I think it will have to wait for a couple more days.

I brought my flowers out today to see a little bit of the sun and I'm hoping that they can stay outside tonight.

Princess Anya

Oldest daughter is going to another Birthday party today. Thank God it's not at Chuck E Cheese's! But then... maybe they will have more fun at Chucke instead of this miserable weather we have today. The party is at the Birthday girl's house and I know they were hoping for a nice day to have the kids outside. Oh well... the kids will still have fun, the parents will need a drink or two.

Thanks for bloggin' by,

Anya

I was going through my scraps to make Miss Anya card, but couldn't find what I was looking for. So Miss Anya sat on my craft table for a couple of days till I sorted all my scarps. It's amazing how easy it is to find things specially when they are color coded.

And the bonus part... I found my favorite DP by Daisy Bucket.

So, here is Miss Anya!

Hope you're having a Beautiful Sunny Day!! cause we're not...

Skater Ian

My oldest daughter is going to a Birthday Party today at Chuck E Cheese's (better take a couple of Tylenol before I take her there) this one didn't take me long to put together... thank God, cause I hate masculine cards.

I'm setting up my Craft & Gab for next month and the ladies are requesting for some masculine Birthday cards. I better not leave it to the very last minute, like I always do cause this one is gonna be a hard one.

Go Roughnecks!! That was a good game last night... my girls enjoyed the game a lot, but it's not the game that kept them interested.... it's them dancers with the SKIMPY little outfit. My oh my... and they are only 4 and 5! Can't wait to see when they are 14 & 15. Now I know why my Mom kept telling me...."You just wait till you have kids!"

Cal~Gals Challenge

Here is our 2nd challenge, and I must say... I'm liking this once a month challenge.

I just heard that we are getting more snow on Monday..... I'm soooo sick of this extended winter we have been getting. I just bought my flowers from Costco 4 days ago and I'm tiered of bringing them inside the garage every night. Hubby had to park his car outside so my flowers can stay alive to see summer.

Enjoy your Friday evening and thanks for bloggin' by!
