Pictures of my "craft room"

Hi crafters,

Okay, so this isn't really my room but this is hopefully where my husband and I will be building a house in the next several months!

This has been a work in project for over a year.  It looks like we almost have everything ready to go!  We still need to apply for a building permit.  The plans are just about final and we're all set!  My husband and father in law will be building most of it themselves.  I see lots of priming and painting in my future.

Happy Crafting,

Wedding Gift

Hi Crafters,

We have a wedding coming up this weekend.  Here is part of the gift we are giving them.

I used Lyrical Letters for the font and Storybook for the embellishment. 

The one disadvantage to these dishes is they are not easy to wrap!  I went with the clear cellophane with some tulle and raffia in the wedding colors.

This is the card I made to stick the giftcard in.  The ring set is from Designer Calendar.  I was quite pleased to find this cut because the bride-to-be has a 3 stone ring.

I've been on break this past week so I've had lots of crafting opportunities.  Pictures and updates to come this week!

Happy Crafting,

More Walk in my Garden

Hi Crafters,

Have you entered for a chance to win 3 stamps sets?  Enter by Friday for a chance to win see the Post Below to post a comment.

This post is a continuation of my post earlier in the weekend. I cut this funky little turtle from Walk in My Garden at 2 inches.  I took a scrap of the cream cardstock and ran it through the cuttlebug twice using one of the skinny boarder folders and added a quick stamp.

Walk in My Garden

Hi Crafters,

I participated in a card challenge today with a friend.  I wasn't in the mood to pull out the gypsy and tinker with things today so I grabbed Walk in My Garden and used the cricut the "old fashion" way. It actually worked out well for what I had in mind.  I got this great stamp set a few weeks ago from Walmart and envisioned stamping the centers of flowers with these cool circular patterned stamps. I cut these on shadow at 2 inches.  The leaves were cut at a variety of sizes varying from 3/4" to 1 1/2".  The tags are actually blades of the grass from Walk in my Garden with holes cut in them using a small hole punch.  I cut those at 2 and 3 inches. I used the cuttlebug to emboss the background.

I added some bling and buttons to the various cards just for a little extra oomph. These have been stamped with Operation Write Home and tucked into their envelopes for shipping.

I have a few videos uploading one with details for my giveaway this week!  Keep checking back!

365 Challenge: Crush

Hi Crafters,

I got several things done around the apartment and while I was waiting for the next OWH challenge to post I found another challenge to participate in.  The challenge was to make a card with the theme of "crushes". I made this with this cute embossed bee with hearts.  I then stamped with an xoxo stamp around the edge and added brown "stitching" with a marker. I embossed the green with the swiss dots folder. I used some twine around the top and glued everything together.

Happy Crafting,
