Life is an Adventure! Scrapfest Kitchner 2014

Hope you are doing well. It's been a while since I have posted as work has been super busy in the past few months and crafting was put on the back burner! Well I'm back and have a little post about my Scrapfest adventure. Picked this Kraftin Kimmie Stamp up in Kitchner while I was at the show :)

There was make n takes too. This was a chalkboard Egg we made at the Couberg Crafts Booth!

Watched a demo done by Danesa at the Bizzy Bee stamp and scrap (Toronto) booth :)

Peeked in at Lisa Yang's demo from Local King Rubber Stamps. She came all the way from BC and I really like her stamps!

Also looked for sale Copics at the show which ranged anywhere from 3.25, 4.00 and 5.00 depending on the booth.

And that's about it... ran out of money and went home :) Can't wait to do it again!!

Your an Angel

There's something about blue flowers that I just love. These were made with white cardstock cut into spirals, shaped and lightly airbrushed with Copics. I've been hanging out over at the Alyce's Kit and Clowder Website which is an awesome platform for Copic users.

Card made for both Kraftin Kimmie's Flower Challenge and Kit and Clowder Wings Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you a crafty Sunday ;)

Love 2-14 Happy Valentines Day !

I've been having some fun playing around with Valentine designs. This was a super quick one layer card that I made Sunday night before bed. I used a light dusting of Aqua glimmer mist on the card and glossy accents over the heart.A touch of ruby red bakers twine and that about does it! We have a long weekend here being "Family Day" and I look forward to having some time off to craft. Also hope to pop into One Crazy Stamper to see any new goodies that may have arrived since the last time I was there :)

I spotted these treats at Tim Hortons last Saturday Morning before work! It was too early in the morning to eat so it was just Java.... but may next time :)

We've had an incredible amount of snow this Winter and a huge snow storm today! I took this picture from inside my front window back a few weeks ago. I was so happy to see this little guy.

Thanks for stopping by :) !!!

Cherish the little moments

I've recently fallen in love with Giraffe's and Elephants so receiving this stamps from a special someone was pretty awesome. I love this sweet gal and plan to use this stamp often, I think it will be perfect when attending baby showers to have a card made with this image!!

I Copic coloured this sweetie and added some floss here and there too.

I am often baking for the gals at work. I made these awhile back for a baby shower. Though it would be fun to have both pink and blue icing and the gals could choose their cupcake based on if they were hoping for a girl or boy... or ...take two if there wish was twins lol!!!

Just a quick post tonight :) Been playing around with a few My Sentiments Exactly! stamps. I've been making lots of Jams and Jellies so I though it would be fun to include a card when giving friends and family a jar of yummy goodness!

I spent most of yesterday in my PJ's watching you tube videos and eating Chinese food so I've been a happy camper!!

Came across this Video from MSE using the same stamp.

Vintage Christmas Memories

This little box of Vintage goodies sits in my Christmas Tree. The picture is of my Mom with Santa, I just love black and white Christmas photos. The little house/church is an old ornament which actually lights up and the angel is vintage too.

The added rosette is a Tim Holtz Die and Stamp along with the snowflakes. There is also old mercury balls, bells and tinsel added in with the treasures!
