Birthday Tag
4 Comments   guest designer, Uncategorized
Big Day Tobie is becoming a fav of mine to color! I'm seriously going to have to get a little sweater vest for my dude :) This little tag is made with the Count Me In Wee Bundle from Sass that I stitched a bunch and added a little twine to the top to be able to tie it on a pressie. Tobie is colored with Copics. Clothes: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y26, YR21, YR24, YR14, B91, B93 Hair: E30, E31, E33:...

Found!
8 Comments   art
Another good thing to come out of rearranging my office was the that I found some of my old bristol sketch pads! I haven't dug these out for awhile now. In fact, these are all marked with 2009. This is a few of them. I think that a sew might be destined for the Copic treatment :) Have you found any treasures?...

I had to do it... Pandas are cute in lots of colors, this is my strawberry blonde panda :) Pinwheel Panda was stamped with brown Memento and colored with Copics, the papers are Echo Park. Anyone else obsessed with these? I got a couple sheets of each and BLEW thru them! They so rock my socks!   I put this together before the big tear up in my office and I'm a little afraid to get down...

Back from “vacation”
46 Comments   scrap room, scrap space
Vacation is in air quotes because I didn't really take a vacation, my hubs was off of work all last week which meant we tried to knock out any large projects that had been looming. Of course they all took longer than expected lol. But one project we did get done was rearranging my office/studio! I needed a larger table to pack orders and things but without a major shift had no room for it. Its...

Here's her card: Here's my version: I stamped the background to mimic the flowers she has, lifted how she layered such yummy patterned papers.I...

Wow! I wish I had another crafty project to share today bc that would mean I had spent the day in the air conditioning but we spent from 8am till 6pm with a 30 min lunch out in the 95 muggy soup weather putting this beauty together :) The kids are in love. Hubs is on vaca this week so I'm getting some time consuming things done and he's out finishing the last bit this morning :) Even...

Photo Session Set Up
12 Comments   tutorial
Since moving my office around I've had to come up with a new way to set up to take all the pics I need. I wanted something that didn't take a lot to set up and could collapse and be put away. Above is my "photo booth." Its stand alone so I could take it to any place I want to set up for pics. I have that window behind but it only gets good light for about 30 minutes a day. Here's what I used...

Meet Autobot :) My Dude is in love with the Tranformers Animated cartoon and when I emptied a box of packing stuff the other day and he started to walk around in it... well it was only a short leap to this :) Autobot likes to do what all the other kids are doing... even if he doesn't fit. but he can still throw a mean frisbee and hop on the hopper ball even if he falls off....
