I am sorry but I can only ship to U.S. right now.

I made this card for my granddaughter, with this cartridge, and added her name with pink letters.... her favorite, from Spare Parts (I think-I have had them for a while and they are not in original packaging so not 100% sure). The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "More Punny-licious" and the 2 flowers are open stock eyelets from a shop I visited back in November.

I finally found Shrink Film

I was on a mission the other day and finally found this cool stuff. I hate paying the high cost of shipping and I am not a very patient person so I absolutely love when I can find things locally. I am still hoping that Post-It craft paper finds its way to a local store.

The employees at my local Hobby Lobby told me that they didn't carry Shrink Film but they have been mistaken before so I scoured the isles the other day and finally found it. I did not know that you can run this product through an ink jet printer but you absolutely can. I printed the Nebraska logo on it and used my heat gun to make a key chain. It is a surprise for someone so keep it a secret.

It started out about 3" so it shrunk about 1/2 its size.

Last Card of the Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Here in my neck of the woods we still have 20 minutes until the New Year. This has been such an awesome crafty 4 months. I have met some really wonderful folks and am having such fun with my blog. I am hoping that 2011 will bring some really amazing things for everyone.

The last 3 months have been really hard for my daughter and grandkids and I am praying that it gets a lot better for them in the New Year. The other day I came in the house with the mail and my daughter asked if she got anything and then my grandson said, "Did I get anything?" That got me to thinking about how he and his sister might get their spirits lifted by getting some regular mail so I decided that I am going to make them cards and send them through the mail. Today they got newletters from the church addressed to them personally and you should have seen their faces so that confirmed my decision.

I made this card with the Four Legged Friends cartridge for my grandson. His name is spelled with some metal letters from Spare Parts and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Even More Punny-licious".

Perpetual Calendar Finished

Well I got them all finished in time to give when we celebrated on Sunday. I had so much fun making this calendar and they are such amazing cuts. My mom loved it when she opened it.

MAY RM00080

I added a couple of gems to the posts for a little bling.



JUNE RM00081

This is exactly how my hubby mows the lawn.

JULY RM00082

I added a couple of butterflies flying around the picnic.

AUGUST RM00083

I sprayed Sheer Shimmer Spritz on the chalkboard and I think it looks a little like left over chalk dust.

SEPTEMBER RM00100

The twine that I ordered from The Twinery came in the mail on Friday just as I finished this page so I was able to use some for his belt and he looks so cute.

OCTOBER RM00101

I added a little white gel pen to the roof and tree to make some frost and some gold glitter pen to the moon and pumpkin faces for some glow. It really looks like those pumpkins have a candle inside.

NOVEMBER RM00102

This little lady looks too darn cute to even think about eating for Thanksgiving dinner. I added gems around the frame also.

Perpetual Calendar - February - March - April

I fear that I may not get my entire calendar finished before Christmas.  I am ahead of the current month so I guess I can give it to my mom and then finish it a little at a time or kick it into high gear and get 2 done each day.

FEBRUARY RM00097

I ran the base layer of the heart through my Xyron and attached the top layer and then heat embossed the remaining that was sticky. I put a metal gem in the middle of each one of the flowers and used my new tag maker (I looked everywhere for it and finally found it at Joann's online) to frame the sentiment which is from Pink by Design "Love Always" set.

MARCH RM00098

There wasn't much added to this layout except a whole LOT of stitching. I also used pearlized paper for the gold and it really makes it shimmer.

APRIL RM00099

I used a Gelly Roll metallic pen to highlight the flowers and white and black for the other stitching. I added a green gem from Hobby Lobby for the dot of the "i".

Wise Men Still Seek Him

Mom asked me to make some Christmas cards for her clients so I made these slider cards. I think they turned out so amazing. I used the "SL Christmas Silhouettes" font for the wise men and star. I printed the sentiment (mom came up with) and punched it out with my Stampin' Up window punch.
