Acrylic Skies

A color challenge using paint! Where? Over at THE OUTLAWZ! I new as soon as the challenge was posted what I had in mind for this challenge. I ordered this product from Stampin Up which I think it is acetate with printed images on it and this particular piece had a tree as well. I will update the post with  name of product as soon as I find that out again. Lol! I used Folk Art Acrylic paints for the blue, green, and purple background. The paints helped the white card stock adhere to the acetate image and created this beautiful sky effect.

Here's the card I came up with for the CAS Sketch Challenge at THE OUTLAWZ!

Anysoldier Summer Card Swap



I decided since I had so many cards on hand I wouldn't make any specific ones for the Anysoldier.com card swap that I would just use cards I already had made. I was just a little shocked at how many I have made and have on stash. A crazy amount!  I just started making cards a little over a year now!

Monogramming CAS Style

Here's my card for Sunday's CAS Challenge at The Outlawz! 
The letter B was cut using vinyl on my Cricut machine.

Hello to my Scrap booking friends!

This image was in one of the first sets of rubber cling stamps I purchased. I actually did all the coloring and stamping when I first bought the stamps and the heat embossing tools. I needed to use it on something and the Scrap booking challenge at The Outlawz was the perfect place when I seen the challenge photo.

Thank You Gift!



What is it you may ask. It is a tea bag holder with a tea bag for a cup of tea. Isn't it such a wonderful idea!! One of the ladies in the Anysoldier Card swap sent me one as a Thank You gift  for hostessing the swap and I had to continue this! It is such a great idea!!

CDAC Beaded Stick Pin Swap

 I love the look of these pins on a card in a bow or in a scrapbook. I haven't tried using one myself but it really adds a beautiful touch. This is my first time ever making beaded stick pins and my first time swapping something other than cards. I hope I do not make the other ladies in the CDAC swap disappointed, I really know nothing about bead quality.

 I found these bags in the jewelry making section at my local craft supply store. They were useful!

 Letting my alcohol inks dry. A piece of craft Styrofoam that I stuck in my craft supplies for who knows how long became useful!

A few finished packages for the pin swap, plus some!

Sketch Challenge with Freebie Digi Challenge

 This is the card I created for the Sketch challenge at The Outlawz! The flowers are a free digi from CDAC.
This card was entered in these challenges:

 Yes, I had a tad of retail therapy this week. I deserved it! Lol! Above I found these cute Halloween stamps at Anita Be Stampin. 

 Aren't these Christmas stamps I picked up from Oozak adorable! I know it's not even summer yet but these were the cutest! Ofcourse I couldn't pass up on the $4 Copic Markers!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!

Here's a free digi stamp I picked up at  Designed2Delight digital stamps. I crocheted the clover this time last year and needed to use it for something, and this is what I decided.

Oozak shipment has arrived!!!


Oh Yippee skoodly doodly day!!! My day has been a stressful one to say the least. To brighten up my stressful day my door bell rings and it's my 1st  Oozak order!! I have been having lots of problems with my fiskar cutter giving me the rough worn edges, okay it looks good for some projects but I think I am just picky and want a clean cut most of the time and I am not getting that with my fiskars unless I keep a stock supply of blades. I just tear up to much paper for those blades, I guess.

I asked for suggestions and the above cutter was suggested to me from Jody another one of the ladies I design with at The Outlawz and boy, oh boy is it nice!! It is taking a little getting use to a rotary blade putting pressure when I have been trying so hard not to apply pressure on my old cutter. But I like it!!! Plus 10 more design blades!! Fun fun fun!!
As you can see I also purchased a few Copic markers as well. We had a challenge at The Outlawz that week and it made me take a look at my collection of markers and realize.. I need these colors!!! Lol!
