Birthday Card

A quick birthday card for this week's PCC Monday inspiration. This was the magazine

I went with washi tape for the candles and an older stamp that I have. 

Trying to use my stash!

Valentine's Day Canvas

I wanted a new canvas for the front hall so I completed this Valentine's Day one. I have papers,washi tape, paint and modeling paste, stickles, rubons and glitter  - so many items from my scrap stash! And I stamped to create the wonderful background using word stamps, script stamps, and even paper towel rolls!

Scrapping again!

I have hardly done any scrapping lately. Not sure why but I just wasn't into it. Well, I found some challenges to get me going!

Bandit celebrated his 14th birthday on Dec. 10th! It was just the 3 of us we partied anyway! Her enjoyed dinner - chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy and biscuits. Followed by a home made birthday cake complete with candles and singing.

The sketch is from Granddivascreativecorner

I also used the Tic Tac Toe on Rochellespears

I used the right column down - die cuts, 3 + pattern papers and gold. 

And from Lovetoscrapchallengeblogspot I used Twine and stamping (gold hearts)

We enjoy each day we have with Bandit and I think he enjoyed his birthday!!

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Dare to be Different

I decided to make a card and I grabbed a Gelli Print piece of paper and this cute Itty Bitty Stamp from Unity. Once I stamped the birds, I cut them out and popped them off the card. I added watercolor for the sky and string and buttons for the line.

One Word

Tracy's  January dare is to use your one little word. My word again revolves around my art and art journaling and making canvases. I WILL  be BRAVE  and create and play and not worry about the negative voices or critics. I will jump in and try new techniques. I will draw. I will submit my work. I can do this!!

I used mists and stencils, water colors, stamps, punchinella,  and black pen. 

I am also submitting this to SWAT Drill 47. 

What is your word? Why did you choose it? 

Thanks for stopping by!

I Scrapped!

It has been a while but I actually scrapped a layout! This was from this year's tree hunt. The tradition wads not quite what it used to be. Our daughter was not home for Christmas so we were missing her. I was only a couple weeks in with my knee replacement so was leary about hiking through the muddy, slippery field. My son took pity on me and joined us but we made it a quick hike and chose a much shorter tree than normal. It was still a very pretty tree.

I used this sketch from Nifty Pixels!

Tis the Season

Well, with the holiday gone, now it is the season of thank you notes. I have been working on them this morning. I played with a new embossing folder! I also tend to use up scraps for cards. These papers and piece of ribbon were perfect for this!
