Birthday Gift Pocket...

I am loving these gift pocket cards!! In case you missed the other one I did you can find the tutorial by Rach here.

This is what I created for my hubby's grandma for her birthday. It was the perfect size for a metal decoration I bought for her. It has a crystal on it that when the light hits it you can see a rainbow of colors! Super neat!

Used some scrap paper and ribbon. Glittered up these gorgeous butterflies I got from my pal Annmaree and they added the perfect touch! I couldn't believe how well the colors matched my paper...absolutely perfecto!!! :)

Happy Birthday Sunset

Corrosive - Birthday

Sorry that I have been MIA lately. The last few weeks I have been chasing my tail around and it has been hard to keep up with everything. Just wanted you all to know I have not forgotten about you and I will hopefully be able to post something tomorrow providing I don't have to work.

Thanks for hanging in there and waiting on me! :)

Picture Perfect Photo Album!

I made this for a girl that was diagnosed with a form of cancer. She likes owls, crafts and photography so I bought one of those photo albums from the dollar store and decorated it up a bit. Dustin Pike was nice enough to send anyone that was making her something a few owl freebies that he created...so cute!! Figured she could use the album to put some of her fav pictures in and I also stamped several different owl images and put them inside for her to color.

I misted the background paper with a few different shimmerz spritz. Colored the image with Prismas and OMS. Added a little glossy accents to the camera lens and flash although you can't really see it in the picture. I customized the K&Co. tags with my JustRite stamp kit. Made the flower following a tutorial here. Embossed the back page and cut then embossed the stamp with my Cuttlebug.

Challenges:
Etsy Inspired - Inspired by the owl and colors here.
A Spoon Full of Sugar - 3D something
Die Cut Dreams - Make your own flower
Digital Tuesday - Anything but a card and use a digi
Crafty Creations - Create your own background
Charisma Cardz - Girlie with flowers
Cute Card Thursday - Make your own

WOYWW??

Well, some stuff has moved since a few weeks ago and some stuff hasn't. I have not had much time the past two weeks to craft but I hope things will slow down a bit soon and I will get to play with some new goodies I just bought!

Last time I had a few questions I wanted to answer.
1. Is green my fav color?? Nope, my fav color is actually blue! I painted that room green because I share it as a hunting room with my hubby...that is why you have seen deer heads in some of my pictures before! There are also lots of skins and a mounted turkey feather, beard, feet thing....LOL! Everyone wonders how I can create with all that stuff looking at me and I just say...well you get used to it. It was either put all that stuff in this room OR put it in the living room! I can deal with it in my craft room!! The good news is that when we move we will have our own separate rooms!! YAY!!!

2. What is in the pop tart box?? I am sad to say that there are not pop-tarts in the box (I had already eaten all of them...HEHE!). I actually use it to store my tubes of cheapie glitter! The caps don't stay on very good...they don't twist on or anything....so I thought to myself that this would make a perfect box for such thing and it works great!! :) Food for thought!! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by to look at my "not so tidy anymore" craft room!!

Truffle Box!

This is a freebie template designed by Gina Jane and I got it here.

I really haven't tried many templates before...I can only think of one and that was a mini milk carton. This was very easy to make...just print, cut and fold. I did have a tad trouble trying to get the box to STAY closed but we eventually came to an understanding! LOL! I found that it is a perfect size to fit a single Ghiradelli chocolate too....hazelnut and milk chocolate...YUM! That combination gets me every time! :)

Oh Alice! - Flowers
Creatalicious - Wings and flowers
Makeup 4 The Weekend - Use a template

This was my attempt at trying to sponge a "grass" looking ground under my digi image...what do you think? I also used one of my new edge punches at the top! EECK!! I absolutely love it! :) The envelope is a punch too that I just adore and I embossed it with circles...hope it looks okay on this card?!

No card...

No card yesterday or today because I have been working my tushy off out at our property building a new house. Exhausting I must say! I was going to share a few pictures including an ice hockey game I went to last week but I got a new phone and I can't figure out how to get the pictures off my camera! LOL! Looked online for instructions but my computer isn't recognizing my USB cable soooooo I will have to wait til I have more time to troubleshoot.
Anyone else out there an ice hockey fan?? This was by far the best game I had ever been too and the side I was rooting for won! YAH! Everyone even got free Frosty coupons from Wendy's....sweet!

Well, thanks for listening to me ramble. I will be back sometime in the next couple of days with a card or project of some sort!

Thanks for being such wonderful and faithful followers! You rock!

I used glossy accents on the water and also embossed the yellow paper with circles...I hope you can see that! I couldn't get the glistening water to show up in my lightbox so I took this picture a different way and then the embossing didn't show up that great...always one thing or another! LOL!

Paper Trimmer

Here is my old paper trimmer...a cheapie from a mail order catalog like Lakeside Collections. It has a slide out drawer underneath, two side drawers and is a slider style cutter. As you can tell ALL plastic. After less than a year.....

....this is what happens! Notice the rough edges on the green part where it is turning white...yeah that is actually curling up and wearing away!! YIKES! There isn't supposed to be white showing...it should all be green. It made it impossible to get a clean or straight cut and was driving me NUTS! Sooooooooooooooo.....

I bought this bad boy!! HEHE! A solid maple guillotine style cutter! It is called a Swingline Ingento. ALL WOOD AND METAL!! No cheapie plastic! This cutter ROCKS!! For just a little more money than the average plastic one this cutter should last so much longer!


Thanks for having a looksy!

Whats on your workdesk? Wednesday

Okay I did this for 3 reasons....
1. To show my progress of cleaning/organizing...(maybe it will help motivate some of you....ahem...DAWN?!) LOL! I watched your video!
It has taken me a few days to complete and I did the best I could without purchasing anything new to organize because we are in the process of selling our house to move.
2. Participate in WOYWD.
3. Stamping Vacations Supplies Unite #3 Challenge

****Before reading any further I'm sorry the pictures are all wonky and the wording is out of sorts...blogger isn't cooperating and I'm not sure how to fix it. But it is readable so please continue! :)

First off we have my folding work table....what a wreck!! The biggest thing I did here was put all colored scrap paper in a box and all plain white scraps in a separate box. I keep the colored scraps on the table in that MacBook box. Did you notice something else changed?? Maybe a different paper trimmer??!! I will share more about that in a different post!





Next we have my poor poor floor....I utilized a bunch of baskets and boxes to organize my stuff and actually put them away or stacked them up instead of having them scattered everywhere! Looks better I think! Not perfect...but better. :)


Finally we have my desk...oh boy! How did I create anything in that mess? I actually put things away...gasp! I know it is hard to believe but I put stuff in drawers and those cups I have hanging on the wall. WOW, what a difference that made! LOL! I feel so much better walking into that room and knowing I can find things easier and that it looks a little nicer. I think it brought my creativity back too as you can tell from all my posts!



If your still with me I want to thank you once again for all the lovely and thoughtful comments you leave for me...makes me smile knowing people care! :)

-Stacie

One last Florida vacation post!

Figured I better atleast show you a picture with me in it so you know I really was there!! LOL! This was at Coquina Beach where they had these beautiful rocks with holes in them....very unusual really. We heard that it was illegal to take any of the rocks (which are made up of thousands of shells) unless they are already broken away. I'm thinking this might be the only place to find this stuff??
As you can tell even though it is nice and sunny it was still cool by the water which is why we are wearing jackets!
At the top is me and my sweet hubby and the bottom picture is my dearest mom and dad!

Thanks so much for leaving me comments on my vacation pictures...I really appreciate you taking the time to look at them! :)

Big gators!

While in Florida we went to visit my nephew in Gainesville and he said there was a park nearby where you could go see some wild animals. So after lunch we took a drive and came across the park and it was a really neat place. We saw a Bison out in the wild (not something I would expect in Florida) and then we drove to another part associated with the park and they said you were guaranteed to see alligators. They were NOT kidding!!! We saw hundreds of them!! I could show picture after picture after picture of alligators but I just picked out two to share. The cool thing about this place is there is absolutely no barrier between you and the wild animals so you MUST respect them!! Looks like my mom followed that rule right? LOL! This just shows you how close you can really get...you could touch one if you were brave enough...HAHA! I wasn't brave enough to do what my mom did and get in front of one but I did get right behind one...that big monster picture at the top shows how massive they really can be! Truly an experience and we all had so much fun!! Thank goodness we all came out alive too with no missing parts! :)

....see ya later ALLIGATOR!! HEHE!

Happy Easter!

Yes, I know it was yesterday but I was gone ALL day so I wanted to take the chance now to say I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Easter!

Now for a few more vacation pictures....the sunset over the swamp just blew me away and the starfish is one I found along the beach...loved the colors!

Beaches...

Well, I was going to catch up yesterday on blogland but my grand plan was foiled by blogger. I couldn't post anything after my Top 3 post nor could I leave comments on anyone elses blog! :( Blogger was NOT playing nice ...... so I'm going to do this post real quick and then I have to head out for the day. I have a few pictures on my new phone from where I was last night so once I figure out how to get them off I will post that also!

Now for the beach pictures above....notice a difference?? Yeah, we did too!!! Let's just say we are glad we only did a one day trip to Daytona Beach because it was pretty crowded and we prefer the nice calm beach where you can actually hear the ocean waves!

Thanks for stopping by...I really appreciate you leaving comments even on non-craft related posts! Makes me smile from ear to ear! :)

Top 3 for me!

My "tweet" birdie card was picked as one of the Top 3 over at Stamping Vacation! I am so honored and if you would please go check out the lovely work of the other ladies!

I shall be back with more vacation pictures!

Another piece of history...

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument....you can read about it here.
We watched them shoot the cannons and one of the cannons produced a perfect white ring of smoke up in the air...truly amazing but it was too light and up in the sky so I couldn't get my camera to focus fast enough for a picture. The people performing said they have never seen that happen before so we might of gotten a once in a lifetime show!

** If interested I also added a link to yesterdays post in case you want to read about it.

Young Forever!

Hey guys and gals! (hehe, that is actually the name of a salon here)... I have been meaning to share some pictures with you from my trip to St. Augustine, Florida so throughout this week I will show you a few photos...can't show them all or it would take forever!! I get a tad carried away when it comes to taking pictures! :)
This area has many pieces of history and the one I want to share with you today is the Fountain of Youth...I actually drank water from it too so hopefully I will stay young forever! :)




Edited to add a link where you can read about this site .... here.
