Happy Monday!! I hope everyone’s week is off to a fabulous start.  I have been off elk hunting this last week and after logging many miles and some mechanical difficulties we managed to get an awesome elk. This hunt was much more challenging than I anticipated, but I guess what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right?  LOL  This weekend was spent processing the meat into steaks and jerky.  I did manage to steal a couple of hours in my craft room. YEAH So I thought I better get this month’s challenge completed.

fortune teller bettyThe first is fortune teller Betty.  I thought this sentiment was funny!  ok I am a little off I know. Still makes me giggle.

Voodoo CorinneThe second is Voodoo Corinne, she is our fabulous administrator and we all pick on her.  Don’t you fret though, she gives as good as she gets.  She is always saying she is going to stick another pin in me.  (I don’t know why, I am ALWAYS  soo nice to her LMAO) so I thought this sentiment appropriate.  It says “Hey, Corinne, did you ever notice that your pincushion looks just like me..hmm?”

Well that is about it for now.  Thank you for visiting.

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  Things are finally starting to settle down a bit here.  Lonnie’s 90-year-old grandma has been staying with us as the road to her home in Lyons is gone.  It will probably take over a year for it to be passable.  Major sections of the main highway to her house are washed out and her mountain road is simply gone.  It is quite difficult to even grasp the amount of damage this storm has caused.  But I do wish to thank you all for your concerns and well wishes.  We are truly blessed that we all are safe. 

I have had little time for crafting but I do have a cute Halloween card to share.

Happy WitchesThese cute stamps were picked up at Michaels.  Hampton Arts Outlines. Papers are DCWV spooky time stack and a green sheet from my stash. Copics:YG01,05; V12,15,17; YR04,07,09

Thank for looking.

Well here is the last blog for this month’s challenges.

Anything but a card bagThis is for the Teen Line Anything but a card.  The bag is an old Christmas bag that I recycled.  The papers are from Summer Fresh from Simple Stories.  The happy birthday is a card tag that I bought from Joann’s eons ago.  The image was colored with copics but a while back when I didn’t write things down.  Sorry.

The next card is for the favorite techniques challenge.  Layering is a technique I use on almost all my cards.  Also coloring with Copics LOL

Happy Friday!

Today’s card is the dreaded masculine card. LOL  I bought this image from Fred  She Said you can find it here. (They have many beautiful flower digis as well.) Plus they offer 10% off $10.00 and 20% off $20.00 everyday.  Can’t beat that.

Fred Said She Said TruckI bought this stamp so that I could take Suzanne Dean’s copic coloring class.  I wanted to learn how to color rust.  I think that the rust looks rather nice.  Suzanne is a great teacher!!  Here is a link to links of all the classes that she teaches.  I believe she teaches prisma coloring as well.  I took the copic 5 class.  It has 18 different videos.  Each video teaches a different techniques.  I learned a lot!! It was well worth the money.

Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend and I will talk to you soon.

Hello.  I’m back!  My visit to Arizona was AWESOME!  The weather was fantastic.  Highs in the 80’s  and sun, sun, sun.  It was especially nice since while I was away it snowed 8 inches or so. 🙂 But it is good to be home. Always nice to sleep in your own bed.  Plus, I missed everyone here.  Jazzy was very happy to have the Mama home.

Today’s image is a fun one from The Paper Shelter.  It is called Watching you Cockatoo.  I thought he was pretty fun.

Paper shelter the cockatoo is watching you Inside: paper cherlter the cockatoo is watching youI used my Silhouette Cameo software to set up the shoe prints and then printed them onto my paper.  I am loving the Cameo!

Copics: E50, 51 and YR30,31 For the bird.  Y32,38 and YR12 for the beak.  YG91,93,95,97,99 for the coat and hat; B91 and C3 and C5 for the magnifying glass. Background is E000,E00, YG91.

The sentiment is just typed on the computer.

Unfortunately, I need alot of these types of cards.  You would think that since I make so many cards I would send them out.

Thanks for visiting.  Jazz and I are off for his promised squirrel chasing walk. LOL

Beads from Arabesque Cane

Hey Guys!  Thanks for coming back.  That wasn’t such a long wait was it?

Without further ado:

and here is a close up of the main bead:

I still need to string these beads and make a necklace from them.  Making Jewelry is not what I love to do but I do like these beads and I learned a lot while making them so I would like to finish them, so to speak.

Polymer clay is such a fun medium.  There is so much that you can do with it. I am constantly amazed by the different things that you can make. So much that I find myself rushing through projects so that I can learn the next step or even next technique.

I am realizing that I must slow down and take my time.  Enjoy every step and do the very best work that I can, because it really shows in the finished project.  For those of you that know me personally, I can hear you laughing because I am not known for my patience.

I am going to try to focus on every project and treat it as though it is a gift for someone else. I hope that this will allow me to create better quality things, be it beads, canes, eggs whatever.  The funny thing is, when I make cards I do not have this problem.  I am slow as dirt.

Does anyone else do this too?

Jazz says he doesn’t mind when I rush, just means less time to wait for dinner.

Thanks for looking.
