Merry Christmas - Crafty Secrets

Hi there. With being sick, finishing our house, getting ready for Christmas, it’s been one heck of a whirl wind LOL!!  I can officially say we are finished with the house (thank goodness), we have a few miner things to do, and that’s it.  Now it’s time to find decorative items to go with the new décor, but that can wait for a while.  

Since we didn’t have a Thanksgiving gathering due to illness, we had a nice get together with the kids, and put up our tree.  I’ve been shopping with the kids, wrapping presents, and the kids are in and out of the house, it’s been fun for sure.  I’ve missed my crafting, but have no mojo at all, so I thought today’s project would help me get back in the swing of things LOL!!  I do have a step-by-step video to share.

Blue Birds - Crafty Secrets

HAPPY THANKSGIVIG EVERYBODY!

Hello again, I'm back with another project to share with you using Crafty Secrets new “Creating with Vintage Illustrations” CD.   Don’t forget, the Design Team will be sharing projects all this week, so be sure and give them a visit. You can pre-order your copy HERE.

My project today is a little different from what I normally make, (it’s not pink), but I enjoyed making it just the same.  I used my PrismaColor Pencils to color the image, it is available on the CD, but it’s a black & white. Trust me, I have no clue what kind of birds they are, I just went with what I thought looked good LOL!.  I created a quick step-by-step video showing you how it all came together.  I love making these little videos, and I find them much easier then typing LOL!!

Crafty Secrets Design Team Challenge "Fairies" Yesterday!!!

OK,  with all that's going on around this house I totally forgot about yesterdays challenge with Crafty Secrets.  So in a mad rush I put this card together (fortunately for me) I already had the images colored, and just put the card together.  I did go and look at the other Design Team members projects, and WOW!!  beautiful art for sure, but just in case you haven't, be sure and click on their links provided below.

I used the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD from Crafty Secrets for all the card layers, and the Fairyland stamp set for the fairies.  As mentioned before, I colored the images a long ago, and I don't remember the exact color of Copic Markers I used.  

Thanks for visiting today, and sorry about the mix up on my end.  Be sure and visit the rest of the Design Team listed below if you haven't already.

Gettin' Shabby with Crafty Secrets

Hello there, today I thought I would use items from my scrap pile, you know a little piece of this, and a little piece of that, gosh forbid you throw them away... I keep everything :)  I had a lot of fun making this card, and the bonus; I found things I forgot I had.  I really wanted a shabby look :) cause I truly love that style, and I hope you enjoy my creation. 

We are removing the carpet in our house and replacing it with tile.  I'm very fortunate that we decided to leave two bedrooms alone, one is my craft room, and I couldn't imagine moving all this stuff.  It's very busy, and noisy around here so if you don't hear from me for a couple of days, that's why.  As soon as all the noise is over, I will start making more of the short video tutorials you might have seen recenlty.  I really enjoy making them, and I appreciate all of your comments, both here, and in your emails.
