Craft room tour

I will be a guest over at Kraftin Kimmie for the month of January, Ive been working on cards for the month  :) Totally excited!

If you have any organization tips I would love to hear them!
Thanks for peeking in,

Merry Christmas


The big day has finally arrived!  Wishing you a wonderful day spent with family and friends.
A very merry Christmas to you.
This little tag is made with Penny Blacks Red Star stamp. I love the old school vintage feel to this stamp.

I splattered lots of white paint to look like snow...

chalkboard Christmas jars



Hi, thanks for peeking in tonight. I've been busy craftin up some festive jars.  I found some great tips and craftin ideas from a lady on youtube (Roxyfur) found here.

The jars are from dollarama and they have been painted with chalkboard paint.  2 coats in either direction letting the layers dry in between.  Once the layers are dry I seasoned the chalkboard surface by rubbing a layer of chalk on it.



Since the caps are clear on the jars I decided to add Kraftin Kimmie stamped images for some added fun. Plus also some red glitter tape from my friend Linda :)
 
 
added some Candy Cane cups to the jars (they are super yummy) !!
 
Copic coloured the images and added them to the caps along with some trimmings and bells.
 
and that's about it!
 Thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas :)

90 Minute Scramble -- Hero Arts


Cards made for the 90 minute scramble that I was lucky to host today. Such a fab bunch of ladies, love them all!
The theme was to use your older Hero Arts Stamps and boy did they ever. Truly awesome creations, check them out here


and a wee little video of hubby picking the winners ...

Thanks for stopping by, I'm pooped as that was some heavy duty crafting today!
I will have lots of time to rest up as this is the first day of my holidays and I go back to work in the new year! :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!



Hero Arts 90 minute scramble Saturday Dec 6


The next 90 minute scramble is on Saturday December 6th at 2pm EST
 
 
 
So basically the way it works is the host will provide a theme and you have 90 minutes to post a creation made specifically for the challenge using a Hero Arts stamp.
(You will need to have a Flickr account set up and have 5 or 6 photos posted on your account a week or so before playing so your account is  reviewed and  approved by Flickr)
Please play along, I will be offering a little prize :) and would be happy to help any newbies (just let me know). You can see my Flickr account on the side bar of my blog if you want to check it out.
Hope to see you on Saturday!


Endless Possibilities

The majority of cards I make are more girly, so this one is a little out of the box.
Tried to keep it simple by using elements such as Hero Arts woodgrain
background, black & kraft.

This stamp set would be good for Movember too :)
&



Dollarama had a coordinating gift bag which I thought would be a good match. Its actually a bithday card and the inside reads "...on your birthday, enjoy!"

Happy Black Friday. Have fun out there:)

Made with...
Hero Arts Woodgrain Background
Recollections Mustache stamps
MMI Letters/Words
Black and Kraft card stock
misc gems & button
Maya Road Twine
Vintage Photo Tim Holtz

Here's a link to the Event Time Announcer to figure out the time of the Scramble in your area

Well Christmas is in the air. I came across this sign on my way to One Crazy Stamper last weekend. Yes, Santa will be in the Caledon area Dec 6th lol the same day I will be hosting the Scramble!! :)
So if you are going to the parade you still have lots of time to get home for 2pm EST and play along over on Flickr!


I pulled over on the side of the road to take this picture when I saw the sign. Some guy driving was laughing (At me I guess) LOL!
Oh well at least I made him laugh?!?

TBT Christmas Ornament ATC



Bibiana has one last Throw back Thursday until the new year and I wanted to share an ATC ornament
made a few years back.
This was part of a trade I made over at Swap-Bot.  Wish I had made an extra one for myself but never had the time to complete that. So I thought I would make another today and show you how I did it with a little tutorial.
 
The supplies ...
 
Used a Hero Arts music background stamped with distress  ink along with  a cut out Angel ...
 
 
Back of the ornament stamped with a ATC ART stamp ....
 
 
added tinsel ribbon around the ATC with hot glue...
 
Cut the picket fence with wire cutters. The fence is from Dollarama our local dollar store. I found it in the Christmas display/village section of the store

 
Added a bell and hot glued the base of the atc to white cardstock then cut around the fence...
 
some music ...
 
 
Added Christmas carol text paper which has been distressed with Vintage Photo....
 
 
airbrushing with Copics ....
 
 
plus some  stickles too.
 

Finished !

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Check out Bibiana's TBT found here. She's super talented and I find lots of great crafting tips on her site!
