Stampin' on Friday (6/1/12) Dad

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to another Stampin' on Friday video. WOW It's June 1st already. Where has the first 1/2 of the year gone? I can't believe Ethan will be done with 4th grade next week and starting 5th grade in just two-1/2 months. This year is going by so fast.

Today's card features an Ali Edwards stamp called Dad Rocks! It's perfect for father's day...

Project Life 2012 (Weeks 17-18)

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend :) I'm happy to report life it back to normal after this past Friday's fundraiser that was a huge success. Saturday we went to the lake for a work day to get it opened and today I spend the day relaxing in my craftroom working on Project Life :)

I decided to post my Monday video today so that I don't have to get up early tomorrow to get my video going :) I'm going to try and sleep in...Unless Ethan decides to get up at 6:30am like he did this morning...grrrr

Here is an update on my Project Life album :) Enjoy

Have a great day and Happy Memorial Day.

Haul


Hi Everyone,
I know I promised a Stampin' on Friday video for today but when I sat down to decide what I was going to do nothing was coming. I think my mojo has taken an early vacation for the holiday weekend. I did get two small packages yesterday and thought maybe a little haul video was the way to go :) I also tossed in some other products I've purchased over the past few weeks as well. I guess a 16 minute video is not really a little haul video is it?

Hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic Memorial Day weekend
Hugs and happy crafting

Silhouette Deal and other stuff

Hi Everyone,

Happy Tuesday :) First I wanted to share a great deal with you from Silhouette America. You can get $50 worth of merchandise for $30. I used it to purchase the Silhouette Design program that allows you to use SVG files and more drawing flexibility, but you can use it for anything in the store (not images). If you use code slcplum20 you can get another 20% off making it $24 for $50 worth of merchandise (note this code might not always work, but I did use my code in the pop-up window for signing up and got the 20% off).

Here is a link to the deal
UPDATE: I reached the three people, Thank you :) if you are still wanting to get in on the deal check the comments below. Teri left her link :) Teri got her three. Check out Mary in the comments for her link :)

Once  you purchase the deal you'll get a link and if you get three people to use your link you get the deal for free. I'll remove my link once I have the three and then if you'd like you can leave your link in the comment section below to share with others :)

Last but not least my finished basket for Friday's fundraiser...


I added a set of greeting cards to the package...Here is a really terrible picture of them. I used my phone and it was dark out when I took the picture so it's really not the best....


Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,

Some Altered Projects

Hi Everyone,
As some of you already know I work at my local library. As a matter of fact this June I'll be starting my 21 year. One of my favorite parts of my job is working on special projects. I'm currently co-chairing our annual fundraiser which is tons of work but oh so much fun. Anyway one of the things we do at the fundraiser is raffle off baskets. Last year I made a frame that I put into a basket with a few other crafty girls at the library. This year I'm doing a whole basket...
Here is what I worked on this weekend :)

The frame is from Michael's and measure's 12x12 (holds at 5x7 picture). I started off by painting it with Vintage White acrylic paint and then took a piece of burlap that I sprayed with glimmer mist and cut it to fit. The section for the picture was a little tricky. Added tons of I Am Roses flowers and then a little pearly bling from recollections.


This little oval box is from Joann's. I did the same as above by painting it with acrylic paint, added burlap, flowers, and some dyed seam binding. Can't forget the tea dyed tag :)

next up is a little picture frame jewelry box. I don't remember the name of the site I got this from, but I decorated just like above....

And here is everything....

I still need to make a set of note cards to add to the raffle.
Thanks for stopping by everyone, I hope you have a great day

Stampin' on Friday (5/18/12) You are amazing

Hi Everyone,
Happy Friday :)
Are you ready for Stampin' On Friday? Today's card features Pink Paislee's Prairie Hill 6x6 paper and stamp set.  Such an adorable collection that reminds me of the last time I tried to fly a kite, I ended up in a ditch because I was watching the kite and not where I was running :) Good Times, Good Times!

Here is a picture of the completed card.

Have a great weekend everyone. Enjoy and happy crafting :)
