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.

Breat cancer/support our troops cards

I bought this awesome ribbon stamp this summer from Unity stamp company. I have been wanting to use it since, but other new supplies came in and other must do projects had to be done. I no longer have a list as far the craft room goes. Of course school comes first, but I got my homework done before I played. I came up with these cute cards the breast cancer cards I cut a pattern paper with big swirls to size. Then I covered it in adhesive and ribbon. The first one I just used random pink ribbons. The second one I just used sheer ribbons which allows you to see the swirls on the paper behind the ribbon.

The yellow ribbon card I simply stamp the ribbon cut it out and mounted it on red cardstock and cut around it leaving a thin rim of red around the image. I put in on a mostly yellow pattern paper which was also mounted on red. I stamped thank you on a scrap of the yellow pattern (which I also mounted on red) I added a little bling on the ribbon. It great for a female service woman just to tell her thank you! (The ribbon has a flower pattern to it.)

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.

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.
