Anything goes and so it shall.

Today's "Album"

For Simon's anything goes this week I decided to add my paper pag shopping album which is a play off of Kathy Orta's build. I love all the different pockets and places to put things! It is a very fun project!

This album sold for $80 at the Dogs With Wings Silent Auction this year! I'll have to make more for next year!

Stripes for Simon

Today's "Card"


For Simon's this week, they wanted to see stripes. I made a couple of cards using my new spellbinders, some paper, and a few stamps. I really love this spellbinders! It cuts so clean and crisp. I bought some copic markers and have tried them out. I think I need more colors now!

Manly-Card

Today's "Card"


Hey everyone! It has been so long since I have posted, but I have a few things I have been working on that will be coming up, including a box, totally made from scratch, to hold your reinkers, sticklers, and alcohol inks!!! Stay tuned.

For this week's Simon Says Stamp, Simon wants to see something "Manly!" So here is my card for this week. It includes Tim Holtz die cuts (gears) and his paper line, lost and found (the old photos of the men), plus a few other nice extras like the new clocks and watches from Jolee's! The golden gear is 7 gypseys. I really like how this came together! I also added some string around the buttons and some "remember" fabric to add another little touch. Let me know what you think!

"Iris"


Hi everyone, if you have wondered where I have been for 2 weeks, we finally received our autism service dog for our son! We had to do intense training for a week and then when we brought her home there was more work to be done! Check out Iris, isn't she beautiful! She is fitting in to the family really well! We are still fundraising so if you want to help out, please let us know!

Simon Says Show White!

Today's "Card"


Hey everyone. I made this card for Simon Says Show White this week. I found it quite challenging and felt that it needed some texture to help make it stand out. I used the Martha Steward Punch for the back paper. For the front, I embossed the white paper using Tim's texture fades. I then adhered buttons, flower lace, and a die cut to the card. It is quite different for me, but that is the fun with doing these contests because you learn new things!

Grungy 17 & Simon says, Anything Goes...and it does.

Today's "Album"

Hey everyone. This week we are headed out on a quick vacation so I thought I would post today! Wow early hey! This will be for Linda's Grungy 17 sharing and for Simon Says Anything Goes! Check out this project! I have altered and thoroughly changed how this project template was originally designed. (By Kathy Orta) I made my shadow box shorter, on the other side, and my whole album is magnetically connected so you can take the album off! I think it is so great when you see something someone else has done and change it up to make it your own. I also used the rock hard Tim Holtz product on one of my front clocks, I like how it stands out! Check it out!

Grungy 16, Simon Says Newsprint!

Today's "Grungy"

Hey everyone, what a busy week. I managed to do a quick little project for this weeks Grungy 16 over at Linda's fabulous blog as well as a Simon Says Stamp. I kept on sewing this week! I had this beautiful small picture of my grandma and wanted to do something special with it, so I added the dictionary phrase "grace" as my grandma truly defines grace and put this together. I did the Tim Holtz technique also where you poke holes. I did it around the first mat, and that was kinda neat! The stars are grunge board and they have been inked. I added some greenery and some ribbon and wa-la! It isn't as fancy as other projects, but it was what I had time to do this week!

Simon is talking about sewing!

Today's "Card"


I really wanted to do this challenge and get it up but yesterday my whole computer needed restoring and I had to re-install everything! Anyways, my project was done but I couldn't upload it! With everything back to normal in my "computer land" please find my entry for this week's Simon Says Sew Challenge. I really like what I have done. I don't usually do things like this (the dress form)! I rarely do fake stitching as I love sewing. Years ago I used to sew everything, but haven't done that in a bit. I love the little sweet embellishments and everything just goes together nicely! Check it out!
