just to give you an idea...

Today sees a new challenge starting over on the

Hiding In My Craft Room blog!

HIMCR #222 - Any Holiday! 

Oh yeah! FUN!

Of course, the following holiday

coming up is 

HALLOWEEN!

The sponsor for this week's challenge

is the ever lovely 

My Besties!

The giveaway is the 5 images used by

the HIMCR design Team!

Let me say, you

will WANT to get in on this one!

It was incredibly hard to decide 

which image to use!

I made 2 projects for this week's challenge.

The first being a card.

I went with a different route this time around, 

as you can see!

I sprayed my paper with ink sprays (Mr. Huey's)

let it dry, and then printed

my image onto it.

I then outlined my images with Distress markers, 

which by the way, I am having the most difficult

time with these days.

Any one else having issues??

Anyways. 

The papers used are from

October Afternoon Witch Hazel collection.

My second project is a tag.

I made the tag for the little bag 

my daughter is bringing to school full

of treats to give to her little friends.

The glitter is Stickles--added some

bling to it! lol

I used the scraps from my first project!

love it when I don't waste anything!

So, that is it for me for today!

Hope to see some fabulous creations!

Have an awesome day!

Be safe. Get crafty!

My Favorite Cutting Tool

Hiya, Hiya, HIYA!

Happy Saturday!!

A new challenge is happening over on the 

Hiding In My Craft Room blog!

This week, HIMCR #221,

Favorite Cutting Tool!!

Space Party Cricut Cartridge

and

Di's Digi Stamps

Favorite cutting tool.

hmmm....I had to think about this one.

I have the Cricut Expression, which I adore,; 

the Making Memories Slice machine 

(which alright--considering it is hard to find

pieces and such for it!)

and finally, 

my Cuttlebug!

I. LOVE. my bug!

It embosses; it cuts; 

it is Portable! lol

Don't get me wrong, I love /like my other machines, 

but thy can be cumbersome. 

I know, I know, nitpicky.

But I am being honest--love the bug!

Here is what I created

with newly acquired 

embossing folders and dies.

These are the set of embossing

folders and die:

I used papers from Echo Park, an older collection, 

Love Story. 

I used a Sizzix hearts embossing folder also. 

That love die? from the embossing set!

Papers are from Imaginisce Birthday,

as is the sentiment. 

Loving this embossing set--it is too cute!

So, we would love to

see what you create with

your favorite cutting tool!!!

That is it for me for now!

My sons are having their

High School

 Graduation ceremony 

this afternoon.

Even though they are in college.

I don't understand it, 

but, hey, go figure!

So, got to get ready, 

and make sure I have tissues
