(Scary photo showing us on one of our early dates. Excuse my terrible hair and dorky glasses, Brent’s cute as ever, but that’s just Brent ! This had to be somewhere in March-ish… I think we were engaged at that point… well, we were at least at the “holding hands point”… hahaha!) Today is an AWESOME day in our little family! Today, January 30, 2010, marks the 11th anniversary of the day I met Brent and coincidentally our first date. …
Mostly I’m naughty… I think…. at least with sketches. I like rules because they give me boundaries and usually I see things in black and white with very few grey areas…. however with crafting I break all the rules…usually… but not today! {Go ahead, pick your jaw up off the floor….} Today I followed the sketch and left everything in it’s right place. Brent did not scold me. Like he really ever does… Usually he just gives me a hard…
I have been buried under piles of beads and jump rings for the last couple of days. I have found a new PASSION! Jewelry making has always intrigued me and I have dabbled in it here and there… Back in November I took a class on crocheted necklaces…made a zillion of those and then signed up for Tresa Black’s Creative University next month… and guess what? They do a CHARM SWAP… and guess what else? Silly me signed up for…
Good morning friends! Or, good afternoon, or evening, or middle of the stinking night, whatever time it is that you’ve happened upon my blog. I got a bunch of goodies this weekend in my mailbox from Heather at Skipping Stones Design. Ahhhhh fat free, calorie free CANDY! One of the delights that I received was the Skipping Stones Design “Stitched Stamps” stamp set. Isn’t it DARLING? Ok so moving on… today is SSD’s 8th sketch, our 3rd from…
Ahhhh I totally got buried in projects (not all crafty) last week and forgot to post this. I was cleaning up my camera card this morning and found these photos. Oooops! Please forgive me! As promised in this post, I am posting what I did with my stained glass butterfly. I love making cute, altered goodies for my studio and for other people. When I was sitting at my desk creating this little guy, there was a plain and boring…
Good morning my Inky friends! It’s that time of the week again to play with sketches. I spend the weekend “sitting around and laying around” because I had the worst stomach ache in ages. I did a TON of crafting. I mostly played around with jewelry and made some charms for a swap I’m in plus some extras and got brave and made a complete linked bracelet loaded with baubles and beads from scratch. (Photos coming in future posts.) But…
Are you recovered from the Blog Hop yet? I’m not quite sure I am! LOL! I keep going back to various blogs and enjoying the art. I’ve got to work up something for the Sketch coming up on Tuesday still today but in the meantime I have been dying to share this with you…. A lot of people commented on how the butterfly on my card looked like stained glass. Thank you! That’s exactly what I wanted it to look…
Thank you girls for playing along with us with the sketches on my Cupcake Cutie giveaway! The following girls played along with cards and posted their links in the comments: 1) Amaryllis B (she did a card & a layout) 2) Stacey F. 3) Sammye Jo (twice!!) 4) Jeff*Nichole*Hudson (which is Nichole) 5) Amanda D. I decided the easiest way to choose was to number them and then use the random number generator again. The Prize is And our…
