PB Posie

Did you ever do something you were so excited about before you did it and have a flat feeling after? I did. While I had some fun and learned a bit, I felt sorta cheated, too. I will explain more later when I finish my projects which might be Monday or April or whenever. Just flat right now. I need some sun and yellow.

Here is another in the Penny Black sticker streak. I have not been stamping at all. Well, I stamp but not on anything worth shouting about (my fingers do get inky tho). Maybe that will come later. But for now, PB is some happy time.
I used a plain white base card with a red scrap layered. Then the top and bottom stickers are layered on plain black and applied-this was one long border sticker I cut to fit. The middle sticker is on a scrap of Bling and pop dotted. The whole card is not huge-maybe a little larger than a gift tag. I used black Stickles around the outside of some of the hearts and a bit of dimensional in the middle of the center flower. Five minutes tops.

Remember That Crazy Tom Cruise Video?

Well here is a clip of the spoof of it from Super Hero Movie!




Kinda creepy how much this actor (Miles Fisher) looks like Cruise!

ETA-this guy is a newbie. A tiny bit of tv and he was in Gods and Generals with Jeff Daniels

HB-For a Special Person

I done made this quick-so tired and I am covered in acrylic paint and glitter from class. I have to get the recycling done and then I hope to crash fast. No directions for this. Too easy and you know the drill-scraps and remnants.

Hubby Bags The Groceries

In case I never see this again! Maybe this will be his next career. I don't think Sofa Slug pays much.

Enjoy The Moment

So cold and damp today even with the sun peaking out. Another two inches are coming and we will set an official seasonal record for snow. And I will set a record for most times staying inside. I will venture out on Wednesday to take a class from Lynell Harlow of Dreamweavers Stencils. I am thrilled as I love the company. Whatever I make, I will post as soon as possible.

This fairly quick card used a sticker for the middle and more scraps of paper. But those pretty seams between the white card stock are stickers-border stickers! I used a white base card and covered it with this bamboo textured vellum. Taking a smaller piece of the peachy textured card stock, I layered that on after edging the paper with greenish ink. The white pieces-two are the same size and one a bit larger in the middle-and these are edged in green also. I covered the inside edges with the border stickers-taping them behind to keep flat.

Punch out a couple of flowers and add a tiny flower brad to the center and then mini pop dot them to the outside white blocks (I trim my brad backs to not show). Add a flower sticker to a scrap to make sturdier and then pop dot it to the center of the white square. Add a phrase stamped to the top and bottom in green. I also added Dimensional Acrylic to the flower sticker to make it pop a bit. This is about as close to spring as I am gonna be this week.


An extra thing I did was make an envelope from some patterned paper. I guess when someone gets this in the mail, they won't think it's junk mail!

Cupcake Flowers

I know most people have some of these plain-why not stamp or color them and make flowers?


Egg Dying Contest

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families-I will be watching the game!


Look What I Finally Found!

A few weeks back I was all over tarnation looking for this stuff-and the closest store to me-the buyer said he had never heard of it and he didn't have it. Hmmmm-they need a better informed buyer. I was walking about looking for black mustard seed-and I looked up instead of down-there the Marmite was! I got brown mustard seed instead of black (for a curry) but I am so excited-now I can make my spicy sausages for sure.
