Crazy Craft Fair Prep

It has quickly become that time of year again that craft fairs are everywhere.  I love them!  Once again I am participating in the Oak Park craft fair here in town.  It hardly seems possible that in 6 days my mother and I will be setting up our displays and selling our wares.  Until then I will be very busy making cards.

Here are a few that I have made thus far.  I hope you enjoy them!

Time to get back to crafting.  Have a great week!

It's That Time of Year

It is that time of year when things settle down into their old routine.  School, Scouts and crafts around here.  With the arrival of fall I am currently preparing for a craft fair which will be held in November.  I know it might sound like it is a little early but I want to be prepared this year.  I would like to have more diversity in my card offerings than I had last year.  As a bonus my mom will be making knitted scarfs to sell so I am super excited. 

These are some of the ones you can expect to see. 

As you can see I love the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  See how different you can make the card by just using one stamp set? 

I hope to be able to post more of the card that will be available as well as the cards for my upcoming Make and Takes. 

Until then, I hope you enjoy the beginning of fall!

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was my parents 40th Anniversary!  I am so blessed to have a great role model of what love and sacrifice is!  I made them this gift card holder card to help them celebrate.  I have also entered it in the Late Night Stampers Challenge 222.  I hope you all have a very happy Mother's Day!

Combining 2 Great Loves!

I have a great love of animals and work with several different local groups fostering and caring for animals.  I was recently asked to create a Thank You card to give to a generous donor.  Immediately I thought of using MDS (My Digital Studio) to create the card.  MDS is new to me and is now only $19.95.  This is a great way to digitally create cards, scrapbook pages, tags and more.   This is my first run. The dog pictured is one that has been helped through the Excelsior Springs Friends Of Animals or ESFOA.

When Bleach Goes Right.

I am sure everyone has at least one bad run in with the bleach.  Usually it does not end will.  Tomorrow I am going to show my customers, friends and family how to use bleach for making cards!  I am so excited!  I used the Stampin' Spritzer filled with bleach and lightly sprayed the Basic Gray card stock base and the Rich Razzleberry flower from the Fun Flowers Bigz Die.  Love the look the bleach gives you. 

Here in Kansas City we have a very busy weekend.  We are having the Big 12 Conference downtown as well as the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday.  But most importantly my sister and her daughters are coming in from out of town!  I can't wait to see them.  They even get to come to my make and take on Sunday.  I hope everyone has a fun, safe weekend!

-you have from March 1st to May 12th at midnight PST  to collect 50 clues and email them to me, to be entered into the contest. 

Here is my clue

My Clue - Stampin Scrub

I personally love this product.  I would say this and the Stampin Mist are a must have for any stamper!

So Glad to Be Back!

I am so glad to be feeling better.  For the past week and a half I have not been well but I am back to normal now!  These are a couple of card I worked on using the Sale-A-Bration set Feeling Sentimental and You're Amazing.  I love how these turned out.  I used Very Vanilla and Early Espresso Card Stock and Early Espresso Ink.

I hope you stay well and keep on stamping!

Final 4 for January

I finished the 4 card for this months Make and Take.  I tried  to have a variety and include one for Valentine's Day.  You saw the one for Valentine's Day in the previous post and a preview of an any occasion card.  Well, here it is completed and the final 2 cards.

Merry Christmas!

This week has been a whirlwind of Christmas gatherings.  It is always great to spend time with all of our family members.  Somehow we have managed to get all presents wrapped and cards made in the mist of the chaos.  This is the card I made for my mom and dad this year.  My mom loves things that are small and really enjoyed the easel card we made at the December make and take.  I saw this on a demonstrator website and had to try it.  It was fun to make and Mom loved it!  I hope you enjoy it too!
