Wowsa!!!! I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted. Crazy. I guess between the market and our livestock. I've been busier than I thought.
This post is to give some information about an upcoming event, that should be put on your calendars.
Hi Folks, Just a heads up so you can book it off - Our Scrap for the Cure is set for October 20th and 21st. YES two days this year. We are going to try it and see how it goes. Not all details worked out yet. Saturday will be from 9-7 and Sunday from 9-5. Lunch and supper provided on Sat. and lunch on Sunday. Cost will be $40.00 per day or $60.00 for both days. Chinese auction and tickets on a big prize. If anybody would like to donate a prize for the Chinese Auction it would be greatly appreciated. Murray and Dorothy Salsman will be joining us for supper on Satuday night. I had a call from Murray about a month ago telling me they now help Kings, Annapolis and Digby Counties and we have become one of their biggest supporters. You can be so proud of yourselves to be helping this great cause. Last year we donated $3,500.00 to the Margaret Salsman Cancer Care Memorial Fund. Way to go. Laura Broome will also be there with her supplies. Will update as we get everything planned out. Pass the word along.
If you would like to attend drop me an email and I will pass the info onto Vicki Smith. It takes place at the Annapolis Royal Fire Hall.
As well as what was mentioned we do Make and takes and demo's. Cricut and Big shot machines available for use. It is a fun and awesome get away from reality and do what we love to do!!!!!!

It's a Birthday card for a special lady who is turning 94 today. She is an amazing example as she has just published her second book and is working on her third.
I used the prisma colour pencil technique and masking as well. My intention was to use the flirtatious paper but it is still in the package.
I plan to make more of these cute little gems.
Interested in learning to make these, book a party or a class. Let me help release your creative mojo.

I just wanted to share these fun cards with you. I used the prismacolour pencils with Gamsol technique. I love colouring it brings back a simpler time.
I used the now retired paper from our Sale- a- bration promotion. I love it and will sneak it in here and there. I hate when sometimes we get such beautiful sets and they don't last to long.
But lucky for me there is always something new!!! Like I need more stuff.
The cards shown here use the centre step technique and are fun and simple to do!
Enjoy all this long weekend has to offer, I will be back to posting next week!

I wanted to make a special topper created just for her. Using the new Stampin'Up! die for the big shot I created the rosette. This was pretty simple and the rosette is flexible in size, this one is about 10 inches. She loves purple and green and of course Owls.......just like me.
I find it's best to use hot glue with the rosettes but they are pretty quick and fun to make.
Happy Stampin',
Lisa

I have enjoyed some crafting time this past couple of weeks. This year started off with a bang and is just now starting to slow down some.
This is such a beautiful technique and I can basically sit anywhere and do it... even while watching a Go Diego Go marathon with Ayden.
The colours used here are calypso coral, riding hood red and poppy parade (markers) and the card stock is lucky limeade and poppy parade. I didn't give this colour a fair shake. Now it retires in the end of May...... and I love it. Oh well don't judge a colour by it's brightness.
The tutorial for this technique is in the post below. Check it out and see what you can create!
Happy Stamping.
This was super fun and relaxing and really very addictive. I absolutely adore this set called,Bordering on Romance (125482) it coordinates with the Edgelets dies (125595) and the Textured Impressions embossing folders (123601) and you cannot be without that ribbon. It is so great to work with and so pretty. Great for feminine cards and pages.
Stampin'Up! has really picked up speed with these great products. I am placing an order on March 12th. Get these great products while they are available.
Happy stamping everyone!

Happy Stamping!

Enjoy and Happy Stamping!

This card uses Soft Suede, Pool Party and Calypso Coral. I feel I'm kind of stuck in a colour scheme. But it's so pretty. :)
The paper and set are from the new Occasions Mini. The bird in the heart really caught my eye and I just love him. He is perfect for all occasions. The new heart framelits make layering a snap.
Remember that a 60.00 order can get you free set's, paper, ribbon and brads and other great stuff. But only until the end of March.

The colours used here are Pool Party and Calypso Coral. I used a blender pen and ink to colour in the flowers and leaves. The new label framelits make cutting a breeze.
Join me as I show more new product from the mini. Happy Stamping.
Funny how life has a way of changing your plans. On the morning of January 9th, my best friend and love of my life had a heart attack. After rushing him to the hospital, he needed to be airlifted to a bigger hospital in the city.
By the time I got the house, kids and chickens organized and made it to the hospital all was well and he seemed better. We spent a week in the hospital and have now been home for 2 weeks. Things are slowly returning to normal.....or as normal as our house can be.
I made this card for my sweetie. We do not really celebrate Valentine's Day, or am I really a heart crazy person. But a Heart seemed appropriate this year. Our 21st anniversary will be February 2nd so this is our anniversary card. I am truly grateful that he is here to share these days with me.
I used a new set from the occasions mini called Take it to Heart 125522.
Materials for card
card stock : Riding Hood Red, Black and Whisper White
Ink: Classic Black
Background stamp: French Script
Stamp sets: Take it to Heart 125522
Loving Thoughts 125845
Ribbon: 3/8th inch Pleated Satin Ribbon (Riding hood Red)
also used vintage wallpaper embossing folder and sticky strip.
Also used were the new Framlits dies. These are a must have and so easy to use. You get 6 sizes to a package and it comes in a great storage envelope as well. One set is hearts and the other set is labels. Awesome new product from Stampin'Up!

Happy New Year!
I know you all thought I had fallen off the face of the earth..... for awhile there it felt like it!
I haven't been crafting as much as I would like too, but that all changes with a new year and a fresh perspective. We had the worse thing I can imagine happening come true. In October we lost our sweet little angel Kylar to SIDS at the tender age of 3 months.
That knocked me on butt as we tried to cope with our loss and help his parents find peace with their's. But life goes on weather we want it to or not. As my Mother would say , Christmas will come, ready or not. So with that in mind we hunkered down to have a family oriented Christmas. To count our many blessings and to move on from this heartbreaking loss.
As my Children head back to the city for school and work, and the rest of us stay put here at home. I am back to work crafting and finding peace and healing in my art.
I hope this year is full of blessings and promise for all my reader's.
Fun things to be posted in the near future.
