Cross stitch looms

I have had this collection of cross stitch looms forever and I have wanted to do something with them. They have been hanging on the wall for at least a year just blank nothing in them. About a week ago a friend gave me a dcwv stack that inspired me to finally do something with them the colors in the stack were perfect and went well with my room, so I started cutting the designs to fit the looms and there was a sheet of tags you could cut out and use as embellishment. I decided to use my favorite Tim holtz quote stamps and stamped a different one on each tag then I started to pull this from my stash. Bits of findings and jewelry reused, some very old scrapbook embellishments I have saved for a special project. Over all them came out pretty cool. It was the perfect distraction from hurricane sandy and my head feeling like its going to explode and my runny nose that sandy has caused. Tomorrow I'm back to getting homework done. And at the moment time for sleep.

Steam punk girl stamp

Michael's had this stamp for sale with their Halloween stuff this season. As soon as I saw her I fell in love and figured she wasn't overly Halloween-y. I kept putting off buying her because I don't buy as many stamps (especially wood mount one) that are not ctmh. But after looking at her for a few visit I made the purchase. So far I have used her on two different cards one a general themed card (using dcwv tattered times stack) the other more Halloween themed (using ctmh moonlight paper pack). She is just fun to color.

Some Halloween cards

My artiste cartridge put me in the Halloween mood. I love the bat shaped card and couldn't wait to make it. On top of that I was at Jonann's the other day and they had the new DCWV Halloween stack Bewitched I purchased the mat stack because I don't do a lot of Halloween layouts or cards for that matter. But the last couple days I have been on a roll.

Birthday card

I probably mentioned in my last post that one of my "niece's" birthday party was over the weekend, so on top of the paper dolls I made a birthday card for her of course. I used the new close to my heart cartridge Artiste which I love!!!! I also used the stamps from the cartridge set. The cupcake and inside saying which says "I hope your birthday is as sweet as you" from the birthday celebration set and then the image behind the cupcake is from kudos. I even decorated the envelope. The paper I used is old DCWV. I believe Artiste is going to be one of my most used cartridges.

Super secret project number 1

Well my super secret project I have been working on this past week was a special gift a custom scrapbook for my future sister in law. I wasn't sure what she was doing for a wedding album because she has a friend of the family doing the photos and I figured she at the very least she can just put in her favorite photos from her special day.
