Doodle Pantry Challenge

Did another challenge! This time it's for Doodle Pantry. It was a easy one, just had to use one of their images. I was tempted to make another one of the thinking of you cards I made a few weeks ago but decided to use the happy bird instead. Here it is:

I'm so loving making cards again! I actually did another today, but will wait till tomorrow to post it. Enjoy!

Button Challenge

I finally did my first blog challenge! And it's with one of my favorite artists, Dustin Pike. The challenge was to use one of his images and either buttons or charms. I had so much fun making the card and I plan on doing more challenges. Here's my creation:

Hope you enjoy it!!

Turn the page

 Bookmarks definitely seemed to be the main theme for my projects this weekend. I've made over twenty of them and have way more ready to be made. Some you'll find now in the shop like these:

The two directly above are made from pages of used books and the other two are made from photos that I've taken myself. The photo ones are the ones I have the most of. I have even made a few with a clear sheet layer with bible verses on them. Those will be up soon. Now for sneak peek of more that I've finished and

will soon see in the shop.

My other project I worked on were some magnets,some made from pictures from used books and the others from digital sheets that I've recently bought. These will be up later today and this week.

I hope you enjoy all my new creations. Remember if you see something you like on here but it's not on the shop, just message me and I'll post it for you. Happy Crafting!

Giveaway news and more

The giveaway has been delayed. I had hoped to start it next week but I got alot going on here with getting my son ready for school, going to be a 2nd grader this year. Where does the time go! But have no fear, it will be started shortly after. REMEMBER: The more followers and/or fans I get before it starts, the more items there will be! Currently 6 away from an item being added.

Good news is today I've posted 11 new items on the shop! It has been super rainy the past few days so I haven't been able to take pictures. Finally today we have sunshine so I was able to take alot of pictures. Here are just a few of the new items:

Lastly I've been slacking on getting stuff done. It seems my motivation dried up with the fair being over and no immediate one to work one. I have started some journals, but so far only got the bindings painted. I'll be working on them again today so hopefully by next week I'll have a few of them posted as well. Hope you enjoy all the new items, and Happy Crafting!

Sharing some cards

So I've been working on a custom order that includes some greeting cards. I'm loving creating them. I haven't worked on cards in a few months and was so excited to finally have a chance to again. I wanted to share with you my two favorite ones I did the other day that are for her order. The first one is made with the Har Repotter digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps

My other favorite card is a Thinking of You made with digital stamps from http://www.doodlepantry.com/

Hope you enjoy them! Also an update with the giveaway, 7 more fan and/or followers and another item will be added!! Happy Crafting!

New items and Giveaway preview

New items are up at the shop! And I plan on slowly adding alot more over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that! One of the new items up is a Tampa Bay Bucs set seen below

Now for giveaway news! Another one is in the works but hoping for a better turn out than the last. Before I get it started, I want to have more followers on both here and on Facebook. So help me out!! Post on your blogs, on your Facebook, etc and let's see how many more I can get in the next 2 weeks. For every ten followers/fans I get, I'll add to the giveaway! I'll also add a small item for when I reach 1,000 views if it happens before the giveaway starts (currently at 700+). Right now it will only be one item, but I'll add to it as the number grows. Here's a sneak peek of that one item:

So if you want it, HELP OUT!! Pass along the sites and see what it is in 2 weeks!

Craft fair blues

Well had that fair today and it was not good! No one did good there so atleast it wasn't just me. The day started out bad with waking up late and rushing, thought I had gotten lost (but didn't lol), forgot a box of items (which turned out to be a blessing since I wouldn't of had enough room) and it was hot! The plus side was I did have a couple of sales and met some great people!

Here's my set up:

My shopping helpers 

 'Tis the season items

"Jot it Down"(Journals and mini composition books) and post-it holder with pen 

Odds & Ends

I was very happy with my setup. I somehow managed to get it set up fast too. A bonus was we were able to drive up to our spots. I was very grateful for that. There was a total shock for me during the fair. A Flash Mob! I had almost forgot it was National Dance Day. You'd think I would've remembered considering how much I love So You Think You Can Dance. They even did the routine they had posted for people to do. Here's a pic I took.

So today wasn't great but not going to let it get me too down. Just think, Lot's of new stuff for the shop! So keep tuned for some new items to be appearing in the month of August. Happy Crafting!
