Nic's Creations

Hallo,
I am "on call" for work today as rarely happens we had too many Nurses for the number of patients in our Intensive Care Units today - which worked out great for me!!! I have spent a good amount of time in my craft room - got several new UM sets put into CD cases, finally got all my stamps from Bella that I got on the cruise put on cling foam and put in CD cases and labeled....and a couple small projects started (mostly gathering suplies to do on Monday)
The pictures I have for you today come via my DD - the first 3 are of a blanket she made for her cousin for Christmas - she made a bunch of knitted scarves (on a loom) and then sewed them together into a blanket - I call it a Gypsy blankey because its so colorful.
The last thing is a video that I hope I got loaded correct - its my DD's cat Shadow and his favorite toy - the kids can hide this toy virtually anywhere and he WILL find it and Get it (he-man hunter cat).

Washer necklaces

Hallo,
I finished off most of the washers I was playing with - just a few more to put cording on tonight on the couch.
This first picture shows 3 of the red ones - the one on the left has black rubons on it the middle one was embossed with black powder and the one on the right was embossed with white powder ( yes the white turned a little pink for some reason - never had it do that before over alcohol inks....) The stamp used is from Cornish Heritage Farms - The art of framing. http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com


This second picture both uses rubons - one with a clear crystal the other with a black one.
I had a hard time gettting decent pics of these - the colors are much brighter IRL.
All for tonight - you may not see much of me the rest of the week - I work tomorrow, have Thanksgiving off and wrok 3 in a row over the weekend so not much time for stamping/crafting till monday, so I will plan on seeing you then.
My couch work for the next couple night involve putting some stamp sets away in CD cases and lableing them, getting the stamps I got from Bella on the cruise put on cling mount/ CD case/ labled and checking my Christmas card list against how many I have made to see if I need to make any more.....
Have a Great Thanksgiving!!!!!

Christmas Tree and Washer play

Hallo,
I have to work the weekend after Thanksgiving which is when we usually put up our tree sooo - the kids and I put it up today (they are off this whole week from school). Of course our 2 kittens had a field day - this first pic is Shadow with his favorite toy - he manages to 'hunt' it down no matter where my son hides it.
The next picture is Smitty - look at that pretend innocent face - no he's not planning on taking out that ornament.
The next 2 pics are of our Christmas tree.
The last photo is of some washers I have been playing with - in keeping with my vow to get my craft room clean....decided to start with stuuf on my desk and any half finished projects. These washers have been on my desk awhile and I already had my Alcohol inks out from my ornaments....These are some of the colors I tried and I have some rubons that will be next step.....hopefully show you tomorrow....
All for now - Take Care

Sparkle Snowman

Hallo,
This was one of my first tries with these ornaments - I had wanted to stamp something and be able to color them in - the Prismacolor markers didn't work, I didn't like the regular markers either and they smeared too, this was my try with Twinks. The Twinks work and dry well enough and don't rub off (after sealing with acrylic sealer) but the colors weren't as vibrant and sparklely as they usually are with twinks.
After sealing with the acxrylic spray I added stickles glitter to the snowman and the backround and the ground.
All for today...

Wisemen Ornaments

Hallo,
I spent some time on these ornaments last monday and I didn't have much luck.....finally found the right combo too late tuesday to take pics.....worked wed. and thurs.....yesterday my Chief Enabler and I made a trip to Pensacola so we could go to Hobby Lobby, and the JoAnn's superstore, and while we were at it Micheals and Target (right next door to to Mike's).
So I got time to play today and finish these off. I did the backround with alcohol inks - blues and silver which doesn't really show up well in the pictures. The I embossed the images from Cornish Heritage Farms http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/ with black. When the ornament was cooled I put some 'stars' in the 'sky' with stickles glitter.

All for tonight - Hope to get some more play time in tomorrow.

Letters to Santa

Hallo,
I did up a few of these on tuesday to take to the craft fair - hope someone likes them :)
The stamps are all very old - got them when I first started stamping at a store called Far North Images in Anchorage Alaska when I lived there about 16 years ago...the snowman is Hero arts and the Sleigh Mail is A stamp in the hand - all the Santa has on it it Far North Images.
I am using mailboxes saved from last valentines from Targets dollar spot - I had planned on doing Halloween treat boxes with them too but never got to it. I saved some of these specifically to do Santa mailboxes with :).
All images stamped with Memories black and colored with prismacolor pencils.
All for tonight.

Pirate gift box

Hallo Mateys,

Showing you a gift box made from a 6 pack drink holder - pirate style....

I have some good pirate stamps but they don't really match the paper - not kiddie enough but I like it anyway.

I made 2 tags to go with the box and attatched them with TREASURE - some Mardi Gra beads and then couldn't resist adding an earring in the corner too...hee hee hee

Preposting for a couple days as I need to finish up some stuff on tuesday - and the kids and DH are both home so won't get too much crafting done...then I work on wed. and thurs., craft fair all day friday and then back to work for the weekend....soooo please for your viewing pleasure some preposts and we will be back live next week......
