A Little Boredom on a Sunday…

Filed under: . — Tags: , , — Melissa @ 3:24 pm

I was sitting at my craft desk and looking at my wall switch plate and just hated the white plastic look. So i took it off the wall and took out my Tim Holtz’s Adirondack Acrylic Inks and got busy. I did mine, my sons and my daughters. I need to get some navy blue paint to make my Hubbys a Yankees theme.

What do you think?

Card for a Family Member

Filed under: . — Tags: , — Melissa @ 8:33 pm

I made this card for a family member recently diagnosed with cancer. I didnt know what kind of card to make, What kind of image to use. I scoured my stamps for a few days untill I finally found this stamp from cistamps.com

I made the card 6×6 and used a ruffle trick learned by Lisa Johnson. I new how to do this from sewing but never realized to do it for cards.  Her blog is amazing – please check her out.

Anyway I hope you are better soon and we are all praying for you!!

I love this technique of Ribbon Ruffling.

My new Punch Storage

Filed under: . — Tags: , — Melissa @ 12:36 pm

I know its been a while, but I have been so busy with life lately. I havent even made a card.  I read a blog somewhere once that a gal used cheapo curtain rods for her punches. Well I had the day off yesterday, so I went into target and bought a double while cheapo curtain rod. It was just 3.97. I got the double because I figured it would hold the weight of my punches.  I need to go buy one more set.  I can actuallysee them now, think I will use them more often??

I still havent figured out how to store my martha stewart border punches.

If your still struggling storing your handheld punches this is the way to go!! I used to keep them in a shoe thingy over the door, I hated it. But this really works well!

I got this new digital image from Mos Digital Images and I thought it was adorable. She is out riding her bike with her wind in her hair, and of course I had to add a tornado like scene in the background. She is an old tough cookie, she can handle it!

I used two cuttlebug folders, Traffic Jam and Swirly on the Green cardstock. My mummu is colored in with Prismas

I used my Momento Ink Dew Drops with a extra large sponge duaber for the rainy background.

Used my handy dandy Ms Word to print out the sentiment which I think is just too funny!! The Ribbon came from my stash, It is old lace, perfect for grandma!

Craft Room Curtains

Filed under: . — Tags: , — Melissa @ 11:20 am

I did it! Finally finished these curtains. Next time I make curtains I will have a plan devised. I kinda just winged this one and went for it without any plan. But I think in the end they came out well.

I added buttons on top with ribbon to make it a bit more fun.  I was going to stamp the black fabric with white ink but decided to keep it simple.
