New Handmade Card

Hey Everyone! I can't believe were in 2012 already (Time just Flies by). I decided in honor of this new year,  I would try to use all the stamps I have  yet to use in a project (I promise there is not that many lol). This retired psx stamp is so pretty I wanted to start off the year with a very vintage girlie card (So here you have it)! I'm sorry it's a retired stamp but if you look hard enough you may still be able to purchase this stamp from a random seller. The main image is stamped in Memento ink (tuxedo black) and colored with Copic sketch markers. I added dimensional elements just to add more depth to the card ( Plus you know me ,can't help myself).

Copic markers used for flowers V17,V15,V12,BVOO

Copic markers used on leafs YG07,YG67,YG17

Handmade Jean Purse

Hello Everyone! 

I was going through a few old boxes earlier today and found a purse I made a few years ago in high school and I thought I would show it to you guys! I'm not great at sewing ( So be Kind) and keep in mind I did this by hand because I've never owned a sewing machine. Anyways I was pretty proud of my little purse and the fact that I recycled an old pair of jeans to make it so I decide I'm gonna use it to inspire me in my paper crafts as well, so who knows what I'll come up with! 

This is the front of the purse

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Just a Card I made for a friend and to enter into a the TGF challenge (www.farmfreshchallengeblog.blogspot.com), and also Shopping our Stash #32  Challenge which was to use ribbon, twine or ric rac on our project. I really love all the colors in this card and how it all turned out. I custom made the background using some Glimmer mist , magical mica's and a aqua pen and some let over tissues paper from Christmas. The image itself is colored with copic sketch markers and has been distressed with some tim holtz ink pads. The flower center in the photo is a mulberry rose from wild Orchid crafts ( luv there flowers).

Diy Christmas Ornament

Hello!  Crafty Friends

I made a Christmas Ornament earlier during the week and I wanted to share it with ya'll! I actually made this for my fur baby (daisy) hehe.. My dog daisy is part of my family so I wanted to make her something cute to hang on the tree! In this picture she was at the beach with us and she looks so stink'in cute in this photo that I just love to look at it. Daisy really loves the water ( when she was a puppy she use to dive into anyone's pool who didn't have some sort of railing). Hope you guys are finding sometime to craft during this busy holiday season! 

Added Some foe stitches with my signo Uni-Ball

Isn't she a cutie!

                                                              Detailed Instructions

I started with a plain wood Ornament from a hobby store and I painted it with two different tones of brown. 

Distressed the edges with Vintage photo/Walnut ink distress ink.

I used my signo uni-ball pen in (white) to create foe stitches and I then went on to use some white acrylic paint for the icing.

For the Bow I used red liquid pearl which I let dry ( but before it was fully dry I added some glitter) and I sealed the bow with dimensional glaze.

Eyes (just some bobble eyes) for a fun look.
