Dangle earrings

 Here is the new pair of earrings I created today.

My attempt at a watercolor card

 I have been experimenting with watercolor cards lately, but I def. need more practice.

Shark Week Drink

 I love watching all of the Shark Week shows on the Discovery Channel this time of year, so I thought this would be the perfect time to show you the drink my friend had at lunch the other day at Joe's Crab Shak. I just love the blue ocean water in the glass, then pour in a tube of red like blood in the water! Actually I admire sharks and do not think they are just out to get us at all, but it's still an awesome drink!

How many days until Halloween???

 I love making Halloween cards. Here's another Impression Obsession background stamp used to make a quick and easy background. I don't know what I'm going to add to it yet, but I'm in a Halloween kind of mood for sure!

Halloween Background Card

 I have been playing around with the Impression Obsession Cover a Car backgrounds today and here's what I came up with.

Up Up and Away Card

 Just a little card I was working on today.

Delicate Flower Earrings

 I have been making these little flower earrings all day. The only problem is I no longer want to have others buy them I want to keep them all for myself! haha

I'm in love with Simon Says Stamp....

 Here's my latest order from Simon Says Stamp Company. It's a great company based in Ohio. I love their selection of everything and I love their specialty line too! SSS has really fast shipping which is great for me because anytime I order from somewhere I wait on pins and needles until it arrives. I have also recently fallen in love with these NEON inks and daubers by Hero Arts. It takes me back to my 80's childhood and dressing like Cyndi Lauper. I love these inks so much I wish I had ordered the full size stamp pad in them, but these cubes should last for a bit. I have been playing around with the Hero Arts set called Brushstroke and adore it combined with the neon inks! Well, several birthdays have manages to sneak up on my so I am off to make come cards!

 

Happy 4th of July 2013 and some Fireworks Stamps!

 Here's my new 4th of July stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I always forget to buy a set until right until the time then it's too late. Once again this year I am too late to make cards with it, but I finally decided to go ahead and get one to have for next year so it won't happen again, and again! The real fireworks here have been beautiful tonight. I just love all the colors up there in the sky.

Gelato Love!!!!

Oh wow...I love these new gelatos. I have only recently heard of them, but they can make some wonderful backgrounds and what I really love is it can make them very fast. I have been watching tons of videos on them, and have learned so many different ways of using them with each video I see. I hope to get to play with more of these in the morning and have a card to post up here using these soon.

Mega Mount and Cover a Card Stamps

 I'm 100% hooked on these Cover a Card stamps from Impression Obsession. I saw The Frugal Crafter use them on a video, and had to have them! I have background stamps already, but they are always so hard to get a good impression with. Now this mega mount with a handle has come out and the entire block is curved. I am shocked at what a difference it makes in stamping. It should get some award for the year-seriously. I didn't realize quite how many of these stamps I was getting because I ordered some before left on vacation and picked up some at the Scrapbook Superstore and before I knew it they added up to a whole stack of them. I do think these will be some of my most used stamps though, so that helps me justify it a little! haha

Wax Museum On Vacation

I loved checking out the Hollywood Wax Museum while on vacation. I also loved that all the displays inside were set up for people to take pictures with. I hate when there are places with no photography etc. This place was great. I posed with many of them like Dolly Parton, Rocky, Edward from Twilight, Star Trek, I Love Lucy, and tons more. I have lots and lots of pictures to develop. The pictures below are a few others I enjoyed.

Another little Halloween card I meant to post a while back. I'm getting so excited because in another month or so is when most stamp companies start to release their new Halloween themed goodies for the year. I have a feeling some really cool ones are coming. It has already started well with the recent release of the new Graphic 45 paper called Steampunk Spells! Can't wait to see more.

Tags

 I can't believe how early the deadlines are for stamping magazines for holiday themed stuff. I love stamping holiday themed goodies and trying to get them published, so I have decided to work way ahead of time so I can have a jump start on next year with the 6 month ahead deadline.

A couple of spooky tags I made.

Craft Fair Display Table

Here's my updated craft fair display table I used yesterday. I had to end up turning my other table in an L shape so it would fit within the 10x10 spot. My 2 tables put together are 11feet instead of ten so that can be a problem at times. I had a nice time at the little bazaar, but the space rent was so high it cut into my profit big time, not to mention it was already a slow day. The space rent was $85 which seems a bit high to me. I am used to the $25 to $50 range. On the bright side... I love my new table fabric and it seems to match my display pieces fairly well.
