May Stamp club cards

I'm always trying to come up with something new and fun for my stamp club to do. I saw this stamp set and Close to my heart did these really cute layouts using it 1 boy, 1 girl. This typically boy set becomes girly with a color scheme change and some bling. Of course it always helps that I loved this set since I opened the catalog and thought it would be adorable for my nephew. After making these cards I think it's just as great for girls especially those "tomboys", but I'm pretty sure any girl would love these cards. I started off with just plain 12x12 Kraft colored paper. I diecut it on my cricut using one of the card shaped on art philosophy (that I changed to be your standard size 4-1/4x5-1/2inch card. I then took the bone border stamp from the "roar" stamp set and stamped it multiple times in colonial white ink the I stamped my dinosaur in Pear ink(boy) or Smoothie ink (girl) and the sentiment in sunset (boy) or black (girl). My next thing I did was border the colonial white cardstock with Dutch blue (boy) or Tulips (girls). I then hand dyed the white embroidery thread with sunset ink and hand dyed white seam binding with smoothie ink. Add a button and your done. They came out pretty cute.

Finished necklace #1

So all I did after making the pendents the other night was add a jump ring and chain. It makes for a quick and cute statement necklace.

***Don't mind the bad image the other caused a little stir on Facebook. Funny but not funny at the same time.

Work in progress

So I started to work on these tonight. What are they? Well they are wood pendants I thought about collaging them,but in the end decided to paint them my current favorite colors coral and turquoise and stamping on them. And just to make sure the stamp imaging don't fade or wear off I mod podged over them. I think they are cute now I have to figure out what to do with them. Hang them off a simple chain? Do beaded necklace there are lots of choice aren't there? Ttys

In my minds eyes lost & found Sunshine

Today I did some shopping with mom. We went to AC Moore and Michael's. I ended up treating myself to a 6x6 pack of MME lost and found paper because they were 40% off and I purchased Teresa Collin's Sophisticated cartridge along with some great little stamps set from Hampton art stamps. I made the following cards using my new stuff plus some MME stamp sets I had at home and some vintage seam binding I have had hanging around. I think I'm starting to break out of my box a little bit. I'm trying to use my pattern papers and I think so far I'm doing pretty good.

Newest addition to the craft room

I mentioned that I got a metal cabinet from Ollie and I was hoping it would work in my craft room so I could get some stuff off the floor well it works perfectly! I have it next to my china cabinet and you can still walk through the room. It is hiding my magazines and some other not so pretty thing that were in baskets set on the floor. This is sooo much better. I'm hoping it will get a new coat of spray paint soon (whenever dad gets around to it), but I'm just happy to have it for the moment!
