Happy New Year!

Well another year has come and gone, my my how time flies.  DH and I are staying home this evening, so we will watch the ball drop in New York on the TV.  My awful cold is trying to come back, so it will be a early night for me.

Please be safe however you are celebrating, and don't drink and drive :)

A Little Bit Vintage

Hello dear friends, well another year is almost gone, and 2013 is quickly approaching.  Are you going to make some New Year resolutions this year? I am LOL!  Here are just a few:

1. Quite biting my fingernails....  (I say this every year.)

2. Be a lot better about blogging, and not save everything for the last week of each month. ;)

3. With regard to crafting, step outside my comfort zone, and work with more than just paper.

4. Start a workout routine, and become more physically fit.

5. Continue working on relationships with family and friends.

I think that should do it LOL!  I'm pretty confident about three of the five, we will see.

Today's project was fun to make, because I love making vintage projects.  This is the first time I've used Spellbinders Card Creator Matting Basics "A", and Matting Basics "B".  They truly make card making much easier, with regard to doing a lot of layering, and I love piling on the layers.  If you haven't tried them you should :)  Lately I really like using the Krylon Gold Leafing Pen, I think it helps add a little something extra to any project.  I also wanted to mention that I cut my seam binding in half so it wouldn't be as wide, so I could thread it through the lace.  NOTE: Cut Seam Binding will fray a lot, in this case I didn't care, because it added to the vintage look.

Well, that's it for now, I will be back real soon...  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Be Mine

Hello, did everybody have a good Christmas?  We did, but I'm ready to put all of the Christmas decorations away, and get my house back in order LOL!  It's very late here (2:40 am), so this will be a another short post, I really need to go to bed.  I'm looking forward to the day I can just sit and craft again.

Today's card is sweet and simple with layering, glitter and bows.  I'm working with scraps that I hate to throw away... and this little card was perfect.

White Rose Card

Hello there dear friends, are you ready for Christmas?   I'm done, but still have a few details to tend to. This is my favorite time of year, I love all the sparkle and bling, the more the merrier for me :)  But most of all I love being with our family, we have so much to be thankful for.  If you or your loved ones are traveling for the Holiday's, be safe, and enjoy your time with your loved ones.   

Today's card is mostly white, very vintage with lots of glitter (my favorite).  I mentioned in a previous post that I will be doing a video on how I made this flower, it's on my list, and hopefully sometime in January.

Peace

Hello there it's been awhile, just like many of you I've been doing all things Christmas.  Shopping, wrapping, cooking, visiting friends and family, parties, and last but not least being sick...  But I'm doing much better now, and I think I have everything finished for Christmas.   I mentioned in a previous post that DH and I were having the entire family (22) here on December 15th, for our Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner.  It was so much fun having everyone in one place at the same time, but I was not feeling well when they were here, and by the time they left, I was ready to do absolutely NOTHING!!!  I took a few days to do nothing but clean my house, finished helping my Granddaughter move in (it's so much fun having her here), and decided I wanted to take a few days for myself LOL!!  

Like last month, and the month before, I'm behind with my design team commitments, so I'm working like a busy bee getting seven projects finished between now and the end of the month.  So, I will be back real soon. 

Today's project is one made from left over supplies, or something I made and didn't use at the time and placed in my huge box of stuff.  Trust me I have lots of items I've made and decided to use it later LOL.

Thanks for visiting today, I have been having fun with my family, but I do miss sharing with all of you as well.
