New Rubber !!

Look what momma bear got in the mail finely today... ok  sorry that is what I say to my kids that are also no longer kids..lol  I guess I am just being goofy today. Must be the heat. Any way here they are and I just love them.

 I need to cut them apart and mount them as you can see and I hate that part.. boo hiss.  But do what you gotta do.  

Here is what they look like stamped.

 And here is where I got them. I have looked at them for over 3 years.. why so long.... well I was hoping they would go on sale or something. Didn't happen so if you see any you like you might as well just get them so you can be playing with them.  They have a lot of neat stamp, this set cost me $21.00 and is the side of a 1/2 sheet of paper.

 

I'm off here for the night and think I'm going to go make some cut outs.  You all have a awesome evening and bright blessing to you and your.

New Stamp Release Challenge

Hello everyone.  It has been insane at my house lately.. very much.  Hubby has been off work cause of his back, kitty had to have eye removed... which she is ill again, MOVING MY CRAFT ROOM OMG!!!! What a mess I have there.. oh we won't go on. So I needed a few minutes of craft time.  So Here is a fast and simple small journaling page to add to my others.  This is for the New Stamp Release Challenge  at Lost Coast Designs.  

 

 

Ok here is what I did..  I painted my index card the cut grass green by dylusions ( awesome paint ) then used white paint on a  star stencil,  Then I did the ziggy stencil down the side.  Found a piece of yellow paper I liked and cut it out to make the moon and glued it on and when around it with a grey maker to give it some depth.  Then last  I Added the painted blue cut out city. And WaLa  I have the stars and moon over the city for my new page.  

The city stamp can be found in the new release section in the Lost Coast catalog. They have lots of really fun new things.  I got quite a few of them my self..  Ginnzzzz  :-)

 

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day.

Bright blessing to you and yours.

New BOS sheets almost done.

This is  what I have been working on.. yea me.. getting stuff done. I guess it helps here in Ohio when the weather starts cooling down and my brain can work and think better.. lol   Well so sure about that think part, but sounds good to me at the moment.  

 

This sheet I just love!!! it is super dark and wish I could copy them.. but it just doesn't work that way.

This one was soaked for a few days in heavy coffee and a cinnamon tea mix.

 

 Now this pile are all just a little different , but yet the same. you can kinda tell if you look at the bottom. should have taken more photos. These are just tacked down for the moment till I am sure this is how I want them.  Any Ideas. ( stamped out and then cut in to the shapes I want or the part that I want to use. Then tacked down on the paper )

 Another really nice dark one.. I love the dark staining lines. This one was stamped , then masked off the front part and stamped the window onto the back.. pretty cool isn't it.  My daughters doing.  Got to love it.. then soaked in the staining mix.

 

This one.. just different.. It is stamped and ready for staining. I think it will make a great love or friendship page.. or future spell page since I do have a crystal ball on it too.  This one will be fun to color.

 

Well that's it for today.. I hope you get some ideas to get you started on a new page in your book.  Remember you can do anything..  paint, stamp, stain, color.  You do not have to make your pages look like old book sheets you see on tv shows.. yes I know it makes them look cool... just think in time they will be cool no matter what.   Heres a tip/hit cut out newspaper dates or adds and clue on to your sheet for the date, its  a nice little touh.

Craft room mess!

I don't know about you.. but I can tell you that I am having a time of it trying to organize my stuff.  Oh where to start I always the big thing. Then what to put where and how. So what I have been doing is grouping my stamps in boxes or tubs. .  like cats that changed to animals.   ok what do I do with the pack that has swindle and dots and dogs and cats in it. I don't want to break up the set. But I have a box just for designs too.  See my issue.  Ok the other is I just have was to much and to small of a space.  To many ideas and they just get lost.  I am taking on a do NOT go in to craft stores for a while. I don't need anything. Trust me other than a personal organize to come in here and give me a hand.  I think my brain just shuts off when I come here...is that possible? 

The cubes I thought would be great ... it is I just cant get it together in any kind of order it seems.

 

This mess on all the little desk top drives me in sane! I'm going to work on the TODAY!

The wall unit and stamps is the only thing that seems to be right but the desk under it just kills it.

and this mess ... ugg  is in no order of any kind. I tried. But id didn't work or come out that way.

 HELP HELP HELP

 

I know that I would be more productive if I didn't have the mess cause I just get side tracked with it and end up messing with other stuff. Plus it doesn't give you that feel good feeling being all over the place. 

Any way I do hope that I can make some head way in here today.. I have a can of Mocha and Elvis to play.. to keep me going.  Wish me luck.

 

New card for any day.

Here is the new card that I have been working on.. I was made from all my scraps that is always good for starters.  The quote ~ humming bird ~ and cup cake are  all stamps for they Unity pate stamp of the month club.  And I love them.  The cup cake be done up in so many ways... its just fun fun fun.

 

 

I have super glitter paint on the top of the cup cake really thick so in person its fluffy. I will have to see if I can get a better photo of it to put on here.  The Humming bird is glitter water color paint so it is very faint. And the it's a white gel pen that I wrote in the back birthday words.   I hope you enjoyed the idea.. So many possibility's!

 Hello Tubie's,

I hope this finds everyone having a great week!
 I personally am sick of snow up to my knees!!

I will keep this short ... Here is my desk, since that is what it's all about, and the photo of the bumble bee girl is the Atc that I finish today for a swap. I still have to seal it to make it nice and shiny. The wings do already have  watercolor glitter paint on them.. just can't see it in the photo.

 Here you go... Enjoy and as always bright blessing to you and yours.  :-)

 

FYI.... That is Sam.. He was the kitten that no one wanted.. I have been very blessed... he is a 16lb buddle of pure love.. (on most days).  He is very handsome if I do say so... grin  But I'm still working on those 2 pages, and him.

 

And as I said the is my ATC that is going out in my swap.

Recipe for forever

Recipe for forever..............

Gather all of the ingredients together, so that they are close at hand! Get a clean cloth and wipe the bowl clean of any lingering dust from the past.

Take maturity, respect and friendship, and stir gently.

Add unlimited amounts of compassion and kindness, and mix well.

To this, add caring by the handfuls and fold in trust.
...
Continue stirring gently, adding listening, honesty, and large amounts of communication.

Slip in some dreams, goals, and firm pieces of keeping promises.

Bake in a home filled with peace, beauty and serenity.

Before you taste the finished product, sprinkle liberally with patience, love, and a touch of spice.

Serve very hot, with imagination on the side.

New Tags..

New Tags that I have been working on today..

Goodie to go with eBay order

Hello Tubies, Well just wanted to share a few photo's of some of the goodies that are going out as extras with one of my BOS's order. I am really pleased. At first I though on no how hard it was to come up something. She only gave me 2 things she liked.  Orange or brown,  no animals no flowers or anything. OK seems that should have made it easy. it wasn't. Orange is not a color i normally work with alot. Any way the tags turned out good. I hope she likes them.

Forgive

Forgiveness is a very hard thing to do, but why carry that weight around with you. I know I have found it very hard at times in the past, but now it seem so easy. Maybe it is something that comes with practice, time and a full heart of love. May  you have a awesome day!
