Hump Day!!

Hiya...Happy Hump Day...Cant believe its Wednesday already!! And it looks like it's going to be another hot and humid day here in Pensacola.  Its only 3am and already hot!  My shopping trip to Fairhope was great cause I got to spend some time with Donna, but miserable cause it was 100 degrees! Yeap, 100 degrees!! The sun was beaming and even in the shade it was no very pleasant.  I thnk we made it into 3 or 4 little shops before we had to call it quits.  We did stop and eat at a really nice place, my Santa Fe hamburger was delicious, and the air conditioner was to die for! Anyway, we ended up stopping at the Micheals in town and I bought a couple paper punches. (a gal can not have enough of those suckers!)
Here are a couple of pictures of this terrifec home out in Fairhope, Alabama, it looks like something out of a story book dont it? I love it, wish I knew the owner so maybe I could see the inside :)

Thanks for stopping by and see ya Friday!!

Rain drops

Oh its Monday already, its 3am Monday to be exact. I am going to be gone most of the morning and didn't want to miss my Monday post and go back on my word about 3 postings a week :)

I will be in Fairhope Alabama today. The town has lots of little shops and a great coffee shop I can't wait! Donna (a good friend) and I meet about every 3 months and go do something fun. This month's fun is shopping!! Can't wait!! Plan on looking for a scrapbook store see if I can find some neat stuff.

I also wanted to share this tag I made for my grandson Brandon. I had made one for my daughter and she loved it so much she wanted one for him. his room is all in blue, with stars and moons, it's a really cute, boyish room.

I made this tag heavy duty chipboard and different types of papers. I stamped the background  with a swrily stamp, then layered it with a soft blue baby boy paper that has little air planes and clouds all through it. Half way down the middle I added layers of torn papers shaded with tim holtz distressing inks. The silver moon was cut using a 2" inch circle punch then used a 1" inch circle punch to cut the shape and used silver glitter to give it some sparkle.

The stars are actually beads I had purchased to make a necklace, the have the feel of polished rocks. They are cool to the touch, really neat...the lion is a sticker placed on a 2.5" scalloped punch and next to it is the same lion I found in a brad! too cute huh?

Then since Brandon likes ducks, I tucked a littel resin duckie peeping out from the flowers. The sticker above, next to the moon reads "Rain, rain, rain, rain..." so I used Glossy Accents to form rain drops all over the tag. Its looks really cool in person, its a sturdy tag. It's going to look awsome on his shelf! Lots of fibers and silver and wood charms dangle from the top but the picture didnt turn out. :(

I just love making tags! I wanna make one for everyone I meet! You want one?? lol (Hope this dont get me in trouble!) lol

Thanks for stopping by...see ya Wednesday!

And God Bless you all!

Wayyyyy tooo long!

Hello! Well once again I have neglected my little blog here! Tis Tis on me :(  I need to make an effort to at least post 3 times a week! Don't you all think that's fair?

So, Mon-Wed-Fri's will be my posting days. Thats give me the weekend to make stuff for Mondays and a day in between each other day.  I will post a new design. I am also going to start posting videos on here and on youtube with all these new techniques I've been learning locally and on the internet. I'm excited about that! Hope you will come back Monday for my first official post! hhahaha because you know these have been UNofficial! Its eary and I've had NO coffee!

For now I will share this little box I made last week. Its now for sale on Etsy.  When I was designing this cutie I was thinking it would make a great gift for a new baby. I thought it would be used as a Momento box. You know, where you can put your baby's first pacifier, maybe the little socks you brought her home in and a locket of her new born hair?  I always got flowers after the birth of my daughters, which was great, they were beautiful, but flowers die! And I have nothing to show for it now...but see, this littel bos will be there until you decided to get rid of it...but why would you do that?? lol It comes with a mini tag. I think its just too cute! I love pink!!

Anyway... here are some picutres of my little creation.

Thank you for stopping by and come back soon!

GOD BLESS YOU .

Baby Girl Layout...

Hi all, well, the scrap studio is almost done. Lots of work, didn't realize I had soooo much stuff! I've decluttered alot though, thrown things out, took shelves out and brought other pcs of furniture in.

I have been so busy getting organized I have neglected my little blog here. But last night I cleared me an area and designed this cute little girl layout. It can be used to safekeep your first month old daughter's picture or her first year!

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by!

New Item plus a great site to visit...

Where has the time gone? I've been slacking I know, but the weather has been soooo beautiful outside it's hard to stay indoors and be creative.  I have also been hard at work in my studio. It's a mess right now, but it's going to be sooo awsome when I get done, even though right now, I wonder why I took on the added task!  I have completely moved everything around, that was the easy part, putting everything back is what is taking so time.
Anyway, I wanted to share a couple of things with you.
1st, for those of you who buy and use Copic markers, your gonna LOVE this site. (Those markers are so frikken awsome, but sooo frikken expensive!) On this site you can find them for only $3.98!!! WOW! I am placing my order tonight!! Click here:

2nd, I wanna share this cute bear in the box title block I made last week, before my studio went under construction.

 

Leave me a comment, would love to hear from you :)

Have a Blessed Sunday

Coloring, back to child like years...

Who would of guessed that after decades, coloring return to be my greatest pass time ever. As a child I would spent endless hours coloring. I has happy with an 8 pc crayola box  and a coloring book. Now the toys are a little more expensive, *cough* copics, but none the less the enjoyment is still the same.  I took art in high school and loved it but I had not drawn anything in years, I doodle a lot, but never thought I could make items that would actually sell. 
I have been busy drawing and this little fellow is one of my doodles.  I will have them up as digi stamps as soon as I figure out how to do the whole instant download things.  I am also turning him into an .svg file, you know, so I can mass produce him. I think Im calling him Fernando. :) ( Geez, I hope you all like him as much as I do and your not thinking Im crazy or anything! lol I really aint...crazy that is...lol) I think Im gonna put him on a scrapbook layout later.

One other thing, I used Glossy Accents as if it were free!

 I love that stuff, it should be

sold by the gallon...

it if dosen't move, Im gonna Glossy it...can you see it all over this baby?

 

Thanks so much for stopping...

 Have a Great remainder of the week!!
