Sorry I haven't been around. Not feeling well and am going to be having surgery this week. Hopefully I will get back on track soon!

Hello! Happy Valentines day!
I took a little break from making cards and worked on a little butterfly album. They were on clearance at our local craft store. It was a lot of fun to make! I added a lot of embellishments along with quotes and poems. It is jam packed that's for sure. Maybe a little too much?! I have 2 more that I hope to get made for gifts. Not sure if I will do them the exact same or change them up a bit.
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a great day!

Good Morning!
No card to share today but I do have some cuteness that is sure to bring a smile to your face!
Have a GREAT day!

Hello!
Where did the week go? I was super busy but didn't realize it's been a week already!! We had a few spring like days but today it is a little nippy out. Can't complain though it's February!! I have a feeling we are gonna still get winter...just a little late.
I've been using purple a lot lately! Not my usual go to color but purples are in right now. I've even gotten my nails done in purple quite a bit. It's good to change it up once in a while I think.
With this card I used several punches. They are some of the floral punches from McGill. I also used my nesties for the sentiment. Added a little bling, some twine & ribbon and called it done.
I have been working on a few orders that I hope to finish tonight. And tomorrow I HAVE to clean my house. Seems like I got so much more done when I was working! Now it's "I'll get to it tomorrow..." . My new motto LOL! But tomorrow the house is going to get more than a lick & a promise.
Have a great day.
Happy Crafting!

Monday,monday...
Hello!
Quick post..been a busy day today.
The last crafting weekend I went on I took a "hedgehog" class. These are the cards we made. I added a few touches to them after the class. I think the hedgehogs are so cute and you know how I like cute!! So, of course, I had to take this class!
Gotta run! See you soon...

Hello!
I finally finished my cookie tag book. I LOVE it!!It turned out so cute. You can click on each picture for a better view if you want. It was a kit from Archivers that I bought before Christmas. Of course I had to add more embellishments than they did to "make it my own". I originally thought I would make it for a gift but now I can't part with it. I think I'm going to do something kind of like it for a few Christmas gifts next year. I had taken a class where we used a clipboard for the book base so I ordered a few small clipboards and they should be here soon. So I think it will be the same colors & theme but just different.
Thanks for visiting me today. It is a grey day here but we can't complain...its the end of January and yesterdays high was 55 degrees..crazy!! Supposed to get snow by the end of the week.
Happy Crafting!

Hello!
Just got back from another great weekend of crafting!
I went with several of my friends to a weekend called "Winterfest" held at a quaint hotel where we crafted, took classes, ate good & just enjoyed spending time talking, laughing & creating.

I took several classes from various people. Agi from Paper Parachute who always does beautiful cards with papers she designs herself and different ways to fold your card instead of the usual. She puts beautiful crystals on her cards as well...always a treat. Hers are more of the "elegant style"

I took a class from PK Glitz where I learned how to use glitter & acetate. I LOVED the butterfly card we did!!I think I'm going to add a black ribbon under the sentiment. Of course had to buy some of their glitter and supplies to make some more at home. My picture is a little blurry.Sorry!
I also took a class that we made 8 cards featuring Penny Black's hedgehogs...love those! I have to finish putting them together. The class went so fast I wasn't able to assemble them completely so I hope to get that done today.

I also took a layer by layer class. Time consuming but they turned out beautiful. Not sure if I want to use them on a card like the teacher did so I haven't mounted them on anything. Might use them on a scrapbook page or another project. Hers was full of crystals and I was a little disappointed that we didn't get any to put on our projects..she is known for using tons of crystals on her projects and we all thought we would get them for ours but we didn't (pout):0(... We did put lots of glitter on them but the sparkle isn't showing in the picture.
They asked me to teach there next year! I just have to get up the nerve but I probably will do it. I brought 5 make & takes for the last day and they got a good response and that encouraged me to at least think about teaching a class next year.
I didn't get a lot of projects that I brought along done but my cookie tag book is almost done. Hope to finish it today. It is turning out so cute!! I decided to keep this one for myself. I will post pictures when I get it done.
Thanks for dropping by today!
see you soon.
