You are a Gem

I adore the GEMSTONE stamp set by CLEAR AND SIMPLE STAMPS. I have used it on many projects and it is my go to when I need a quick card. The GEMSTONE SENTIMENTS, in various fonts, well with the set. I also use SIMPLE NOTES for sentiments as well. Ohhhh.....the PARTY FAVOR diamond is a must for bridal showers or engagement parties. It is die that easily folds into a diamond that can be fill with treats or a note. Thanks for taking a peek! 

Good day everyone! I picked up these AWESOME Santoro London Gorjuss goodies at the HSN Outlet in Brandon, Florida. My total was less than $10!! I stop by the outlet often to see what crafty finds I can grab at a great price! My hubby does not like to accompany me as he feels as if he has walked onto the set of HSN! LOL!!! Hope you will be watching the HSN 24 hour Craft event starting at 11pm est tonight! I am still deciding if I need a Cricut Maker in my life!!!! Have an amazing day! Thanks for taking a peek!

WHAT DO YOU HOARD IN YOUR CRAFT ROOM?

hoard-verb: to accumulate for preservation, future use, etc. in a hidden or carefully guarded place.

In my craft room I hoard paper, glitter, planner goodies, paper and more paper! I love to color images and can do so all day long! When I do place one of my colored images on card it is rare occasion. But once created, I have an issue with giving them a way. I feel as if I am giving a part of me away. And with that, would a recipient appreciate the work involved in creating a card. Would they know how I carefully selected color combos, the card design, the paper or the glue? Would they even care? So, back into the draw the card goes! Sad, but true. One day, I will be able to part with my hoard....but not today! 

Are you a crafty hoarder? What do you hoard?

SPLAT COVER UP!

IMAGE: Have Hope by My Favorite Things

Good morning EVERYONE!!! So yesterday's SPLAT disaster worked itself out! I turned that pesky blob into a Mickey Mouse ballon. I like how the little girl is peeking from behind the balloon. Next month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and hopefully I will be able create a card with this image! Thanks for taking a peek!

SPLAT JUST HAPPENED!

Was about to start working on hair, but my C8 Copic Marker was a bit juicy this morning.Then SPLAT happened!  Guess I overfilled it yesterday as I was going through my CLEAN- REFILL- REPEAT routine. I adore this HAVE HOPE Stamp Set by My Favorite Things. 

Coffee and Copics

Happy Tuesday EVERYONE! Ready with my coffee....I decided to prep early for the upcoming 30 DAY Coloring Challenge hosted by the amazing and talented Kathy Raccosin of The Daily Marker. The next challenge begins on November 1st! I am cleaning and refilling my Copic Markers so that I am ready to sit and color to my heart's content.

I currently house my markers in a blue Copic Aluminum Case. I purchased mine -for a really great price-a few years ago from my crafty friend and entrepreneur Lameka of Capitol Chic Designs. If you search online you can find one ranging from $80-$400.

Keep in mind the case does not include the insert. I purchased my insert from Our Gray Barn on Etsy. They even create an insert for your Copic Sketch Markers to easily fit inside the IKEA Raskog cart!

Hope you can play along during the challenge. No pressure. 10-15 minutes a day and you do not have to play along every day- life gets in the way! Enjoy your day! Thanks for taking a peek!
