Anyways, sorry again for being away so long. I hoping to get back into the groove of crafting and writing. It is a stress reliever for me, something that allows me to take my mind off my day. Your comments also brighten my day, so thank you to those who take the time to let me know that you stopped by!

Hello again! I know I have been missing, well actually more like putting my blog aside for a bit. Life has been crazy- between work and training and the hubby and father-in-law not being well, my plate was a little too full. I had to focus on doing one thing at a time and crafting was put on hold. But everything is settling down a bit and I am able to release some stress through my creativity.


I recently went to a baby shower to welcome a new little bundle and was excited to test drive some new to me stamps. 

I just wanted to stop in on this busy Easter Sunday to share some things I have recently made. I have had a couple of occasions that have needed cards, etc. I wanted to share the finished results.

Here are four tags I made for our Easter baskets:





Here is a little Easter card I made for our neighbor:


Both projects used my MFT Pure Innocence (I think it's called) Warm Fuzzies stamp set. I coloured all of them with my Prismacolor pencils. They used DCWV paper and some K&Co Paper. I am pretty happy with how they turned out!

This is a thank you card I made for our neighbor. I used some of my Pink Cat Studio Lily and Tweet stamps for this card. I just recently bought them off Splitcoaststampers. I was excited to break them out and take them for a spin! I used DCWV paper and a card base from Wal-Mart. The bling is from Dollarama. I coloured this imagine with my Prismacolors pencils again.


This is a birthday card I made for my father in law. I used my Billy Pink Cat Studio stamp set. I also got this set from Splitcoaststampers. The paper is from American Crafts. The card base is from Wal-Mart. I coloured him with my Prismacolor pencils.

So that is part of what I have been up to, ha ha. I am back to work on Monday, but I got some fun stuff to play with from a recent trip to Winnipeg (like my new ATG Gun!). I also have some stuff coming in the mail, so more toys to play with, ya! Have a great week!

I am so slow at thanking Kim over at Diary of a Craft Addict for choosing me for this award. I am very appreciative that you thought of me for this, it really makes me feel special! :)

Thanks again Kim!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the prolonged absence, life has gotten in the way of my crafting. I am here to say that I am taking a little time to share a card I made based off one of the My Favorite Things Sketches, number 63. I didn't get it done in time to post it to the Challenge, but I liked the sketch and I liked how my card turned out so I thought I would share.
I know, I know, I used this cutie in my last card share, but I love her so much I used her again. I only have two PI Girls right now, so until I am using them all the time. This time I coloured her with pencil crayons. I used some K and Company paper and some dollar store bling. I liked the way she turned out. I would really like to try different colouring methods, like OMS and Prismacolors.

I have expanded my stamp collection a bit (ok, a lot) over the last month or so.So I promise to used a different stamp next time (hee hee). I am still waiting to get some decent paper and card stock, there is a possible trip to Winnipeg this week, so I am hoping to get some, and possibly visit a Michael's. I have a couple more projects in the works, so I will hopefully have more to share this weekend. Enjoy the rest of your Friday!

Happy Sunday! It is beautiful here in Dryden, Ontario today. It is actually in the 20's today (degrees Celsius), which is crazy for Northwestern Ontario in March.

Anyways, I thought I would share a card I made this week for my supervisor at work.


I got to use my new Pure Innocence "You're So Tweet" stamp. I paper pieced her dress and sleeves with some K&Company Sweet Nectar paper. Actually all the paper on this card is from that mat stack. I really like it. It is probably some of nicest paper you can get here, since Wal-Mart is the only place to buy supplies in a brick and mortar store. I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but I used the light pink paper with flowers on the inside and one of the other sentiments from the set that says "Happy Bird-day!" The rest of the image I coloured in with my watercolour pencils.

I am hoping soon to make a trip to the city, either Thunder Bay or Winnipeg, so I can get some Copics or Prismacolors and Odorless Mineral Spirits for colouring. I also need to get some heavier card stalk, as mine tends to bleed sometimes. I bought some Copics off a person on Splitcoaststampers, but just a few skin coloured ones. I am debating whether or not to buy some Bic Mark It pens to play with or just wait and buy some more Copics or pencils. I guess I will see when my markers arrive how I feel about it.

I am going to go enjoy the rest of the weekend, what little of it there is left. I am hoping to have a couple of more card shares this week, as I am creating some cards from a few of the member companies sketches on Splitcoaststampers.

Hey everyone!

I just thought I would share a couple of things I have created lately. I was inspired to do so, so I could enter BAcraftygirl's challenge on YouTube. Here is the link to her channel so you can go check her out: http://www.youtube.com/user/BAcraftygirl

You had to use four stamps while creating your project. Repeats of stamps counted. So here is what I came up with.

Here is my first project which is a Post It holder:
Here is the link to the video I made about my Post It Holder (<-- click here)

Here is my second project which was a wipe board (white board? lol):

The link to my video about this project/entry can be found here.

And last but not least for my last entry I added some stamped embellishments to a photo my fur baby McGee. The link to the video about this project can be found here.

Thanks again for stopping by. Go visit BAcraftygirl's channel and check out all the contest entries and all her awesome projects. I am thinking about possibly doing more videos, but I need a regular camera, since my dog ate mine (well, killed it by chewing it). I would like to do a haul of all the stamps I have gotten off the Splitcoaststampers site and some more project shares. So hopefully that is what's to come!
