CPS Happens

Hallo,
I didn't get a whole lot done today - the last 2 days at work were doozies and I am stiff and sore today!!! I did manage to go for a walk and get on my evil excersise machine/torture device, got a couple loads of laundry done and hung on the line and got groceries - and I managed to get one card done to show you today - so I guess I didn't do the worst....
I used this weeks sketch from CPS - you can find it here - www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com


I used one of my new stamps from 'Stamps Happen' and colored it with prismacolor markers. You can find this stamp and a boatload of other great stamps here - www.janlynn.com
The phrase is from Stampin Up.
I cut the teapot layer with a spellbinders label die and the brown layer is spellbinders mega rectangles - I used my cuttlebug.
I am hoping to have more time to craft tomorrow....just a couple errands to run....
Leaving you with a couple pics of some of my flowers in the backyard - I have alot of glads blooming (I seem to have good luck with those) these pink ones are some of my first bloomers. The cactus blooms ever so often year round - I have several hanging baskets with cactus in them (tried all kinds of other plants but killed too many as they need to be watered every day here on the summer so the cactus are perfect).

All for today - have a couple tasks to do yet this evening...

Hometown Thank-you

Hallo,
Working today at the 'real' job so leaving you a short post.
This stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms - Thomas Kinkade collection and is called 'Hometown Pride'. You can find it here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com.
This is my first try at coloring one of my TK's with the alcohol markers - in this case prismacolor markers. I think I still need some practice but was happy with the result.
All for now - Hope you are having a good week!!!

Party at Da House

Hallo,
I had some fun yesterday with my Bella's and Gina 's. A friend from work asked me to make her a card for friends who just bought a new house. Her friends like BBQ and 'cocktails'
Everything was stamped with memento black and colored in with my prismacolor markers ( I am liking the alcohol markers more and more...)
The couple is Bellastamps and the phrase and mixer are Gina K.
Of course I had to do 2 versions....
All for today as I am at work (preposted :)

Hat Shopping

Hallo,
Starting you off today with a couple pics of my Clemetis out by our pool - this one is my early bloomer and he seems to bloom the longest too. And of course being purple he's my favorite too.
As you may have guessed I managed to get some yard work done and a few errands. Did manage to get a little craft time too....
The cards I have to show you today use the same stamp from yesterday - 'Witches Hats' from Stamps Happen. You can find it here - www.janlynn.com
I stamped the hats with black memento ink and colored them with my prismacolor pencils and then cut them out. I had a sketch I was trying so when I put them on the square and combined them with the skeleton paper, I thought it looked like this little skeleton was shopping for a new hat.
I also used some green embossing powder for the BOO (don't know who makes this one) and then used some green and orange bright krylon paint pen for the edges.


All for today - have more errands to run, going to go get my hair done.....

Happening Treats

Hallo,
Sitting at my computer veggin this am - crazy busy weekend at work and I am having a really hard time getting a move on this mornin.....
I finished off this card last friday - yes just one card - These first couple photos are stage one and I almost left it like this cause I really like it (so I will make some more like it come Halloween time). Last week I did Christmas stuff so then I pulled out some Halloween stuff.
The 'Witches Hats' are from Stamps Happen and you can find it and a ton more great stamps here - www.janlynn.com.


I stamped the spider/web and the phrase and embossed them with black embossing powder. The hats were stamped with memento black.
Then I brought out my Prismacolor markers - colorless blender and 3 gray markers (30%, 50-60%) to do the shadows.
I thought it looked pretty cool as is, so I took some pics of it before I colored the rest in.

So here is the color version - I finished coloring it in with the prismacolor markers and it turned out pretty fun too.

All for now - my dog tells me it is high time to get moving and go for a walk (glad its still cool out this morning) I also have several errands to run and some yard work to do.....and hopefully get to the craft room for and hour or so.....

See ya tomorrow

Getting an early start on my Christmas cards this week:)

I had yesterday off but didn't get any time in the craft room - yard work, went for my morning walk, go on the Mean and Nasty eliptical machine :) and also some house work - then when the kids got home went shopping for clothes. My DD needed some new clothes and we need to get her a dress for an upcoming wedding the end of May.
I have a few errands to run today but should get some time at the craft table - cross my fingers and toes....
All for today
