Another month has flown by! See me create a classy month of March in my Love Today Planner using just a few stamps, inks and a copper pen. I really like how this month came out. Video length 11 min. 44 sec.
Ok folks, The two coloring mediums I re-supplied with early in January did not satisfy my need for color. They are great to work but twelve total colors was not enough. Hub hoped that they could replace Copics, what was he thinking? The net result: time to get back into Copics.
How often does one get the chance to re-acquire something as expensive as a set of Copic markers? For most...
It feels so good to be back in the Copic saddle again! I bought a few digi stamps from Power Poppy back in November but our printer would not feed thick cardstock. Then of course the unimaginable happened when we lost our home which meant that I never did get to color those beautiful stamps I'd bought.
We are staying at Hub's parents and their printer feeds my cardstock so of course the...
I have created a 2019 updated version - see the link to the video below.
This is my second year playing Safeway Monopoly. Yes I DID win one of the board game prizes last year as well as many smaller prizes. I also used the coupons, winning lots of free goodies. I made a video explaining how to play the various parts of the game, Below is the rare pieces list. So once you fill in all the...
This week's Creative Cat Crew color challenge was a fun one. That is because I got to color with the new Blends which are very nice markers. The only issue is that I need more colors! This week's challenge colors are: Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Black, Old Olive and Neutrals and here is the inspiration image: ...
As I rebuild my lost stash of supplies I find many challenges by not having absolutely everything. This is a unique situation that is stretching my creativity. For this month's alternatives, I found no dies in my meager collection that coordinate so instead I used textures and inks. I love to stencil and did recently purchase a four pack of Stampin' Up! stencils, Stampin' Up! refers to them...
I had the pleasure of crafting at Libby's today. We worked on color challenge cards. It is so much more fun for me to craft with friends. Hub isn't bad, but he refuses to craft with me (imagine that!). For this week's color challenge, the colors weren't as big of a mental block as the previous two challenges.
When I first laid out the three colors I thought, oh boy it's going to be...
Hub wrote the words that I recited. It was still hard to see our "stuff" over and over as I worked on the timing, cadence and images, but it needed to be done. Video Length 2 min 2 sec.
I spent the weekend with my mom making the rest of our DIY dots. Not all of them, but we made sure to bake some of every color from the brights and neutrals. Then we analyzed what colors we wanted more of for next time and finally we had to fine tune our storage options. On the way to her house, I stopped at the dollar store and grabbed a couple of the 14 slot pill containers. This style is...
It is almost Valentine's Day, It snuck up so fast! I gathered a bunch of new materials and borrowed some supplies so I could make this year's Valentine's Day cards. I then took over our bedroom and had everything out on the bed and our shared table. I felt like a mad scientist. Hub is very supportive, understanding my need to be creative so he took his laptop and setup in the kitchen for the...
