Mini album

Just wanted to share a quick mini album video

ATC

Well my friends I've ventured into the ATC field and are having a BALL.  Here's a look at my very first ATC, created for a swap over at swapbot.com

New card

Wow long time no post. For those of you still stopping in even now and again "thank you" for still coming by. Life has been fun the past couple of years. Bought a house and moved in the middle of a snowstorm. Have a huge basement that we are currently trying to fix into 3 rooms (the biggest being my craft room YAY).

Anyhow for today's post I made a quick little card for a fellow employee who lost her brother in law.

Hope ya'll like it!!!!

New card

Hello everyone.

Just posting a quick little card I made with some left overs on my desk.

I'm also posting this tag I made yesterday after finding something similar on pinterest.

So enjoy and let me know what you think!!

Mini using build a page

Ok so I've been MIA for a while now as I've been working lots of hours at my job and come home too tired to craft. But I did find some time to make this sweet little mini. The pages are from the tutorial by Kathy Files - better known as the paperphenomenon wonder women. I LOVE her work and had to try my hand at these fun pages. The paperpack is a Melody Ross designer collection I snagged at Hobby lobby for $9 on clearance. The chipboard is medium weight for the covers. Well let me know what y'all think about it.

Another mini from one sheet

Well since my last post I've been in love with the whole mini from one 12x12, so I made another one. This is going to be a gift for one of the ladies that work with me.

More mini book swaps

So I just finished 2more mini mini-books for the May swap I signed up for. I used some of my scraps from the "French" mini I made a while back. Now I just have to finish my tin album and the 12 handmade flowers I signed up for.

Mini book from Jocelyn

Here are some pictures I took of the little mini book made with only one sheet of 12x12 paper!!

So I'm adding a link to a tut I followed to make the little mini I did with one sheet of 12 x 12.

Mini books yahoo group

So this month I signed up for a couple swaps on mini books again. One of them was a simple card. Well here is what I made for my simple card swap.

New mini

Well it's been a while since I've posted on my blog, but since I joined the Mini books yahoo groups I've been inspired to add some more posts to my blog.Here is a little mini I made from this website I chose to make the pocket book mini in the "Bind it all" catagory.I'm not sure who my recipient is going to be yet but I do hope that she will like it. I'm not sure if I'm all finished yet or if I want to add some more embellishments on the tag pages and pockets.Well have a wonderful Monday.HugSSandra

Lim inspired card

OK so I've been drooling over all the lovely cards that Lim make for a WHILE now and finally got a chance to CASE one of her beauties.

This card was made for a friend who asked me to custom make a birthday card. LOL I could go "artisticly" crazy as long as the main color was green and NO YELLOW!!! So what do YOU think>? Did I get it right?

Enjoy the pics.

Holy cow Batman!!

Well it's been a while since I've been to blogland and I must say I'm a horrible blogger lol. I manage to check my email everyday and find time to browse SCS but blog? Well I guess I'd better get INTO the game of blogging way more serious.

I have been playing quite a bit the last week but haven't got any finished projects to show just yet. I joined a mini recipe book swap so I was working on that. To add to my load of halfway done projects I just found Kathy on Ustream and HAD to make one of her mini's to see how well they work. They are super cute and she does a FANTABULOUS job of showing you exactly how to do them. When I'm done with the mini I'm working on I'll post pics to show you all what I mean.

I also just bought a tutorial for a POSH *prepared organized simplified handbook* over on Paper phenomenon blog so go check it out girlies, it's A M A Z I N G !!!!

Well last but not least here is a card I made for one of the challenges they had over on SCS a few weeks ago.

Hope to see you all soon.

Create with Connie and Mary -160

I saw a REALLY cute card on Renee van Stralen's blog and just HAD to try it. After I looked at her card I also noticed that the Dirty Dozen had a challenge going on on SCS, so I combined the two challenges and came up with this card.

New video

Hello everyone

Today I just have a quick video on a card that I made. I just loved this set when it was in the catty and grabbed it for a quick little birthday card today.

Enjoy and let me know if there is anything you'd like to see on my videos.

WOW I'm so happy to say that for the month of July I'll be the featured artist over on The Three Sister's blog.

For that reason I made a video to showcase a quick little fun project.

Go join her blog *it's free* if you're interested in more fun projects or ideas.

So on to the video. I hope you enjoy this. Sorry for the delayed soundtrack. When I converted the file it delayed it.

If you have any questions or would like to send a link to YOUR project just leave a comment with the link and I'll post it here.

New video

Hello everyone.

Saturday sketch challenge 205

Wow been a while since I blogged. Life just doesn't cooperate when you want it to eh?

I just loved this sketch over on the Stamping 411 site so I had to give it a go. I used a lot of retired products as this is what I have most of right now. Hopefully I can remedy that in a while. I'm looking forward to the new catty in July, but before then I'm sure I'll be splurging on some goodies from the retired list as well.

So enjoy the sketch and if you feel like playing along here is the website.

SSC201

So I didn't do much stamping this weekend, but I sure did want to partake in the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge.

I used some retired papers for this, but OH BOY this card is cute. I sponged on some of the Champagne mist on the stamp after I inked it up with my two colors. The sparkle is amazing and I wish I could show you but the camera sure didn't pick it up too good.

Well off I go to play some more.

SC221

Oh boy it was so much fun browsing the Featured Stamper's gallery over on SCS today. I had SUCH a hard time narrowing it down but finally decided on these 2 cards.

Polka Dots
Pretty flowers

I love the clean and simple style so much, but stepped up the flower card on the top card.

Hope you like.

Here's another card I made today, playing along with the Featured Stamper over on SCS. Check out the thread here.

Well enjoy your Easter Sunday. Our plans include a BBQ and hopefully MI weather allows.

More MDS

Ok so I'm on a roll with MDS and just had to make one more card with it. I used a layout that I've done before and really like, and used some colors from the stamping 411 challenge.

More info for that here.
