While I was gone....

Good morning,
It's been awhile again. :(  Recovered quickly from gall bladder surgery, but then I had to move.  I am finally all settled in and began working on my projects again.  As always, here are some of the things I was not able to post recently.  Hopefully now that I am settled I can update my blog more often.  I've also been busy with my crochet projects since I don't need access to all my tools and supplies so I will start posting some of those projects as well in the future.  So here they are.....



This is my altered cigar box swap for Mini Album Scraps with a Halloween theme.  It was a great experience and I enjoyed working with my partner on the swap.  Can't wait to post the Christmas one I am completing right now.














This is a baby album I made for one of my husband's cousins.  Can you tell it is going to be a girl.

Some New Projects

Thanks for stopping by.  As usual my life has been hectic.  Been having some issues with my health but they will be taken care of soon.  It's been hard, but here are some new projects I have been working on.  Hope you enjoy.

 This is an invitation I made for a cousin's 40th Bday party.

These are some paper flowers I made out of various die cuts and punches.  I will be working on a tutorial for each one in the upcoming month.

This is a card I made with my upline from Stampin' Up!

Altered canvas with tutorial to come.  I used my favorite picture of my daughter when she was 5.  Isn't she adorable!

Here are some cards I have been working on incorporating my embossing folders, layering and stamping.



I'm still working on my altered cigar box and another altered frame.  Can't wait to share my first tutorials with you all.

Sneak Peak

Ok so here is a sneak peak of some things I am working on.  I was so excited I couldn't wait to share somes pics even though they are not complete.  A family friend asked me to come up with some novelty items for her bingo customers.  This is what I have so far.
This is an altered gift bag for those bingo enthusiast out there.  It is made of heavy Kraft paper with secured handles for added support.

These are cute little bingo ticket holders.  I have to add the ribbons yet after they dry, but I justed wanted to show you how cute they are so far.

Finally this is a bingo mat.  I don't know if you have been to bingo lately but now they do these things called "keepers"  they are addition tickets or scratch offs that you play the numbers along with the regular boards for additional prize money.  They are size of lottery tickets.  This board has five clips to help secure the tickets on the board so that bingo enthusiests can blot them with the ink when the numbers are called.  This prevents them from flying away.

Hope you like my sneak peak.  I'll be back with the finished ticket holder and I am also working on an altered bingo board album.

I'm Back

Wow, it has been a while.  I feel like time has flown by so fast since my surgery.  Just to update, I have already lost about 75 pounds since my surgery at the end of September.  I have been busy running around but I have managed to keep up with some of my crafting.  I have been working on expanding my client base for Stampin' Up! and I have been doing a lot of demos and workshops.  I have also begun to work at Michael's as an instructor for SDU (Scrapbook Design University), otherwise known as The Spotted Canary as well as Martha Stewart Products.  So I have been busy getting things in motion but now that everything has settled down I will be posting more.  Here are some pictures of an album and frame I made for a family friend.
