HAPPY NEW YEAR - Fabulous 2012 is Here!!!

Can ya believe it - its 2012!!!  Wow, we are getting right up there with this new millennium are we not?  Someone close to me was saying that they feel like its still the turn of 2000 but a reality check is that we are zooming right along - so here we are again!

What will be your NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS?   Especially CRAFT RESOLUTIONS!  The really fun stuff!

For me:
   1. more dies for my Big SHot - cuz after all, why have a cool machine and not have all the dies you can muster!
   2. organization - say it every year, but ....well, we all know what happens!  Unless Steven Hawking can help me expand my walls automatically everytime more than 10 lbs of craft stuff materializes - there will always be piles and piles!!!

3. to dutifully craft on time every week ---- yah, I said it!  But will I do it? I must, I must try!

4. to get those drat projects done that are calling from the closet like ghosts o christmas past!  Scary indeed!

5. to get out of my craft comfort zone - and to evolve my style!

6. to take # 5 and apply it to some older scrapbook pages that look a little odd to me now, lol!

7. to have FUN!  Whooo-hoooo!  Its what its all about baby!


PICS TO SHARE! 


Here is a fun picture to share - our dog graciously puts up with us every year when we start dragging out costumes, special christmas attire - you name it!  PEPPER is the best DOG ever!!!  We adore him.....


Getting the costume on is half the fun but easy going Pepper thinks: "why o' why do they insist! "  



every dog must have his Christmas 'must haves' in his wardrobe handy! 



Our sweetie-pie relaxing at his fav window!  Awww, how cute is he! 


Bye for now crafting friends!

Fun with Tags!

That is exactly what I had with this tag.....amongst all the oodles of cards I am making for a craft fair coming up, I am taking breaks by making projects that use all kinds of different elements.  Sort of like a cardstock 'stew', lol.                                                          Cute  Gift Tag or Notecard TAG BASE  1. First, I started with a small piece of cardstock of 3 x 6 inches, folded to create a square 3 x 3 inch tag. 2.  I layered a BAJA BREEZE cardstock square on top of the tag - I used my SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH to create the pretty corners! 3. To rev it up a bit, I glittered the bottom of the tag with some of Dazzling Diamonds. TAG DECORATION 4. I stamped  my lil' WALRUS  on a punched out '1-3/4 in.' Circle  of Whisper White cardstock  - then while I "maske...

Shabby Chic Cookie Cutter Card

Hey everyone!   Today I am blogging about the card I made in the middle of the night, lol.  It started with the idea that I wanted to use the bear from Stampin' Up!'s Cookie Cutter bundle set {stamp and punch}.  My intended recipient loves bears and I was dying to do a shabby chic style card, so voila!  Some details: I dyed a piece of white satin ribbon using ink. Ink refills {liquids} are so helpful to create co-ordinating materials for your projects. Soft sponging of paler colours help to frame your main more colourful image. Add more details by layering accents such as my poinsettias and label.   Here is one of the  embossing powders from the Stampendous Fran-tage line called ' Shabby White '. See how bubbly and glittery it is?   There it is - I love doing soft colours paired with white for pretty styled christmas cards!!!  Hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday season this year, cheers!

Beautiful Birthday Card from my Daughter

I was ' speechless ' on my birthday when my daughter presented me with her own hand-made card for me! Reason is that when we got up that morning we were in each other's company and yet somehow she managed to sneak off into my craft room and pull this together without me knowing it - - I was totally caught off guard, lol -- and loved it!!! She has always impressed me with her creativity because she doesn't do hand-craft items very often - she is more of an 'online creator' - I have her to thank for all my web banners and general blog technical help :) I was happy to see the cute butterfly resting on the branch, that is something I would not of thought of! Anyways, it was a lovely gesture and a thoughtful card. Beverly SUPPLIES LIST  Stampin' Up!   Eastern Bloom and Kindred Spirit stamp sets. Bella Rose  Designer Paper Pink Pirouette cardstock.
