Shared Laughter Is Love Made Audible

Hello Everyone, here is a card I made just now with a stamping Bella stamp called Wasabi Ketto. I had not used her in quite sometime and she happens to be one of my favorites. I stamped this image on Bella's best paper and colored her with prisma pencil crayons and mineral spirits.

My stamping tip for the day would be to use an excellent quality heavy white or off white paper to stamp your images on. There are specialty papers out there that works excellent with copic markers and prisma pencil crayons. I have tried many types of paper but the best one would be the one I purchased at Stamping Bella.

Hero Arts Butterfly Stamp Card #5

This is a blank card and I used the hero arts butterfly stamp to create this layout. I used prisma pencil crayons to color in the butterfly.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

I don't know about all of you out there but I am having a very hard time getting into this book. I have read more then half way and now and it is just getting to be a better read. One thing I really regret doing is actually watching the movie before reading the book and I know it is a big No No to do that. I bought the hard cover of the full series and swore to myself I will not watch the movie before finishing all the books. I really want to see for myself if it really is worth the big Hype that every young women is going nuts about. I don't know if I mentioned it before but I am a fool for romance novels, and movies.

My all time favorite has got to be the Notebook. I read the book and also watched the movie and I enjoyed it tremendously. I will keep you posted on how I am making out with Twilight, hopefully I will finish it tonight. But if you are looking for a sweet romance novel, give the Notebook a try by Nicholas Sparks who is also the author of Nights in Rodanthe.

Baby Lamb Stamp

Isn't this Lamb stamp the cutest ever. I really like the way this card turned out cause if the color tones. I colored her with the prisma pencil crayons and mineral spirits and of course I used Stamping Bella's best paper to stamp the image on.

I stopped by at Michaels today and headed straight to the clearance aisle. I picked up 5 stacks of paper ranging from cosmo cricket, DWVC paper, and of course K & Company. The price was a steal I paid $ 6.00 a stack, sweet isn't it.

I have more cards to share with you all, soon to be posted...

Thank you so much - Easel Card

Here is a shot at making my very first easel card. I saw this on split coast stampers and thought it was very simple and cute to make. This is a 41/4 square card and the paper is K & Co. If you would like a step by step instructions on how to make your very own easel card please see the video below.

I am Still Alive

Hello Everyone, just sending this quick post to let you know that I do still exist. My home has under gone a face lift as I mentioned in my previous post. All the bedroom floors are now hardwood and they look smashing. My husband and I spent the entire day putting together my daughters room. We bought her a bedroom set from Ikea and of course had to build everything from scratch, but it was all worth it cause her room looks awesome. I was telling her that my room was not even close to what she has when I was growing up.

My craft room looks terrific as well, we bought a big bookshelf from Costco to store all my crafts, papers and tools. I have accumulated so much over the years that I needed a whole room for this hobby. In addition to all of this my husband surprised me with the cricut expression, you should have seen my excitement cause now I can make bigger cuts and finally I can enjoy Tags, bags, boxes and more also the Wild Card Cartridge. Once I have everything completely settled and cleaned I will share some photos.

Sorry for not posting anything crafty but I did make some more new cards to share so stick around, I will be back....

Halloween Scrapbook Pages

I know it is way past the halloween season but I actually forgot to post these two pages. These are actually from 2007 because I haven't even gotten around to developing the photos from this year.

For the first layout I used the paper dolls cartridge to cut out the witch hat and the black cat. The second page was actually really quick to do because I bought the paper pre made so all I did was just place the photos in the squares and ass some stickers and voila.
