Butterfly mobile

When Tammy and I were at convention we saw this beautiful butterfly mobil that inspired me.

A couple of weekends ago I made this one for my tenant who is fixing to have a baby any day now. It was difficult to figure out at first but once we got rolling on it we had fun. I used Stampin up Candy Lane paper, dazzling diamonds glitter, Stampin Up's exclusive butterfly Sizzix die, crystal effects, and their on board chip board. The string we used was from a craft store used primarily for bead work but it worked great for this project as well.

It's a cat's life for me.

Hang on to your hats I am actually posting today. I have a couple. Sorry it has taken so long. We are just getting back into the swing of school and life in general after the summer is over.

I was sitting here yesterday admiring the view from my window when my youngest cat Rudy popped into the window and it got me thinking. How nice would it to be a cat. After snapping these shots I decided it's a cat's life for me.

Birthday Card

Good Morning! It has been crazy around here with Back to School and trying out all of the exciting things that we learned at convention.





I am dabbling with a new style of working with my cards and scrapbook pages using some of the new things available in the market today.



Here I have used So Saffron, Cranberry Crisp, and Very Vanilla Paper (Stampin UP!)
as well as so saffron ribbon. The chipboard is from one of my many Stampin Up! sets I have and the ink I have used is Cranberry Crisp.

The other technique that I have used is with a new spray product that I obtained at my local scrapbook store here in Fredericksburg, VA.

Inside I simply stamped Fabulous Friend from the Really Retro stamp set from Stampin UP! I am still learning the technique of using the sprays and masks. Tammy and I saw this at the scrapbook store last weekend and loved it. We figured out how to make masks using the sizzix machine. I will show you more on that later.

Gotta run to work. Have a great day.

Tammy's Inspiration

I ripped off Tammy's idea with her Skull but made a Christmas Card one instead. I loved being able to use the flower idea that we saw at Convention. With Tammy's prodding I did quite a bit of crafting this weekend and this was one that I did.

This is the Stamp that Tammy gave me. There is a clear embossing coat over the top of it.

A hard day's work

Here are the pictures of my hard work today.....Sorry the last one is sideways... I am having so many troubles uploading tonight. One of the ladies at work asked me to make her a fall wreath after she saw the picture of the Halloween Wreath that I finished. This one took me about 5 hours however I was doing laundry and playing WII resort with Frankie while doing this.

I am going to go onto the webisite that I listed on the previous blog and see how much money it will cost me. :) Saw a super cute tree stamp set that I would like to have. Tell me what you think of the Wreath.

New Decor Elements have arrived

So I received my pre-order from the mini in the mail this week and this is a Level 1 hostess set for Decor Elements. I was so excited. I had the perfect place for these and that was the jars I had just waiting to be labeled.

If you have a party of 150.00 or more you can recieve these for your house too aren't they too cute??????

Thinking of you..

I was asked to do a thinking of you card for a co-worker to send so I made this card and the envelope.

So then I had this great idea how I am going to package cards that I will sell... I am going to have a speciality stamp made that says Created By: Triciasserendipity!!!! I will package them like this:
