Birthday card

I made this birthday card for my other half today. I purchased the stamp from unity stamp company. I also got the girl version of the same stamp set. I stamped multiple times and cut and layered the pieces together to get the final product. I like how it came out and he did too.

My more complex card idea will have to wait for next month.

Altered witch hat work in progress

So at our last art gathering we were each given a witch hat to alter mine has been sitting around neglected ever since. Today I got my homework caught up for the week and a good chunk of boxes cut for my friend Deb's wedding in a few weeks, so I treated myself to a little while of play. So far this is simply what I have done. I started with a base coat of copper paint then I sprayed with slate glimmer mist. I painted the brim copper then black and painted bubble wrap with copper paint. I decided to add seam binding (which is not permeant yet and I added a bling bat. It needs some more work but I haven't figured out what it needs yet and I'm really not sure when I can play again. I'm swamped with work and homework lately. My life consist of work, class, homework, eat sleep start all over again. Speaking of sleep that what about to do. Till next time.

Last weekend

I treated myself to a captured moments crop it will probably be the last one for awhile seeing that school has taken over every aspect of my life. I really can't wait for this semester to be over because its more stuff that I have to learn then stuff I want to learn.

So here are the cards I made while at the crop. I truly enjoyed the company,food and creative time. Of course felt a little guilty because I should have been doing some school work, but I have to find some balance between school, work and creative time at some point I'm sure ill get there.

A trip to target

Well I went to target to purchase binders for my classes to get myself organized. I tried one of those portfolio folder things and Found out it didn't work for me. So back to binders I go. Of course I figured I would check the back to school clearance for the binders cause why pay full price. Of course that didn't quite work out cause there was no nice or cute binders left so I sadly paid full price but they are such pretty colors (pink and turquoise). But while searching the clearance section I found pentel arts color pens for $10.48 they were $14.99 so not huge saving but I needed markers for my crafting stuff anyway. I would like to purchase all of the close to my heart markers but it will take me awhile to purchase them all, so these will work in the mean time. Of course having them in my hand made me want to color. I know I have a fairy coloring book somewhere so I searched for it last night but no luck instead I found one of my old sketch books so I settled for doodling. So the other photos are the result of my doodling.

All work and no play...

They say all work and no play makes for a dull girl or something like that so today I took a break for my nephew's birthday party. I bounced in the bouncy bounce with him. It was a ball, but it hurts now. I injured my knee a couple weeks ago and have been wearing a knee brace ever since. After the party ended I set to work in the craft room and got my second card for stamp club planned out. I used La Belle Via paper, Kraft paper, artiste cricut cartridge and art philosophy cricut cartridge, the stamps are from card word puzzle and Just for You...

No playing

Since the last post I haven't been able to play and when I do I feel kinda guilty cause I have school work and cleaning to do. I'm hoping soon even if it just a card or two. I hope that everyone is doing well.



Just a little message to someone who probably doesn't even read my blog anymore. I miss you. Just thought you should know.
