A crafty mom's escape

had to show what I have been up to..

2007-07-15T15:15:00.000-07:00

I played alot and want to share what I am making. Doesn't seem like I have time to do much...not sure why either. I hope to be purchasing some new catty stuff soon and then will be sneaking in as much stamp time as possible.

having fun

2007-07-15T15:08:00.000-07:00

I decided to sit and make a few cards. Some I used ideas from the new SU idea catty and others I came up with myself. Hope you enjoy them and they inspire you to stamp. Send a card to a friend or loved one.

some ofther cards

I worked on some fun cards for a recent party and wanted to share them with you. I love the "thanks" card since it uses some of my favorite SU products...embossing, jumbo wheel and designer paper. I love the bugs and kisses cards because they are cute and super easy. Nice to know that we always have time to make a homemade card. Enjoy!!

not much but at least I am trying...

2007-06-18T21:26:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to share a few cards I have worked on lately. Thought you needed to see some of the new SU product coming in the new catty in just a couple more weeks. I am super excited and can't wait to see what SU has come up with. I used some of the new In color papers and the palette of prints designer double sided paper too. Love this new Zoofari set. (Sorry that some of the pictures are blurry, I am still trying to get good at taking pictures of cards.) Hope you enjoy these few cards and hope to be getting some more up soon.

where the heck did the year go????

I can't believe how long it has been since I have shared anything. I have been doing a little crafting but not as much as I would love to be doing. Finally getting my SU business doing something since moving. Super excited about the new catty and all the new stuff it is going to offer all of us. Hope to be sharing some new stuff soon but know that I am feeling the need to start crafting, scrapping and especially stamping.

The clock

2007-02-21T14:28:00.000-08:00

I bought this clock before we moved with the intentions of decorating it for my kitchen. Well I changed my mind and did it for my craft room. It was so fun. Need to order some more so I can make them for all over the house. LOL

Altered projects

2007-02-21T14:23:00.000-08:00

I love doing altered items. Makes things you use so personal. Here are a few things I have done. Altered 5x5 book, beaded pen and thin tin (aka bandaid tin). Enjoy!!! Let me know what you think.

New Spring mini stuff

2007-02-21T14:17:00.000-08:00

Guess Wednesdays are good days for me. I haven't posted since last week...can't believe how fast a week goes. You will be happy to know that I have been stamping and creating. Having a great time and finally feel like I got my creative juices flowing again. The new stuff coming from SU is so darn cute and just makes you think of spring and want to create. Hope you enjoy what I have done so far and know there will be lots more coming. Still have a couple new sets to play with so you will get some other ideas.

Valentines for Emily's class

2007-02-14T14:36:00.000-08:00

Emily wanted to make her Valentine cards for her class. So, I helped stamp them and cut the stuff for her and she glued them, wrote the names and put them in envelopes. We had fun and she said that her friends in class thanked her for them. How fun!!!

Love "Living Large"

I have had this set for some time and am just now getting around to playing with it. Have decided that I really like it. So easy to use and fun to color. I used a blender pen with the Watercolor crayons to color mine. Added some fun designer paper and what a quick and easy card. Love how the layouts turned out. Hope you enjoy!

Can't believe how fast the weeks have gone

2007-02-13T13:16:00.000-08:00

I have been so busy the last week. My parents are here now and I am super excited. I just have not made an effort to stamp much. I am working on some stuff and just haven't posted the new pics but will do that by the end of the week. Hope everyone is happy and stamping.

Trying to keep new stuff up...

2007-01-31T19:12:00.000-08:00

I have been working on a few things but haven't had a chance to post in a couple of days. Just get busy and well you know how it is. I am working with some stamp sets that I don't play with much but felt the need to own. Working on some color and layout challenges too. Will be sharing some of the great new stuff from the spring mini too for you to get excited about. Don't forget that you still have a month for sell-a-bration so if you want any of them now is the time. Remember that they are a limited, never to be seen again set of stamps. :)

Here are a couple cards I have been playing with...let me know what you think.

My first swap since moving...

2007-01-28T11:17:00.000-08:00

The swap was for spring or Easter and this is what I came up with. I think these Knobbly Gnomes are pretty cute. I used the Coluzzle cutting system to make the circle. Then cut a smaller one in the middle of the big circle. Using the slit punch I made the scallop edge. Put the dots on by using the shite uni-ball Signo gel pen. Colored with colored pencils. Hope you like it.

First post...wish I had a picture

2007-01-23T07:20:00.000-08:00

I am getting started here in my new beautiful town of Kuna with my Stampin' Up and crafty stuff. Can't wait to share what I do and how I do it with all of you. You should be able to come here whenever suits you and find new ideas. I will let you know what is going on with SU and me. For now this is all but hope to have some pictures soon.
