Christmas 2010

2010-09-19T15:05:00.000-07:00

Items needed:

any size pillar white (3" works great)
white tissue paper
stamps, ink
heat emboss gun (hair dryer is a good sub)

1) cut tissue paper to within 1/4" of the candle width
2) stamp desired images
3) place on candle and hold
4) start heating (be careful of your fingers!)
5) when candles starts to heat, the tissue will adhere to it, do not stay too long in one spot! Smooth any lumps while still warm

I will make another one, (I may even video it!) and make any changes if needed to these directions

I really have...

2009-03-13T19:34:00.001-07:00

done some stuff this month!! I just need to get going and do some more! no motivation right now. I think I have decided to slow down the exercise a bit...

2009-02-22T07:31:00.000-08:00

Trying again! Here are some of the pages I have done for the month. Ben was in Upward basketball for a few years, Great Program!! In the football pages, he is #44. Freshman Football. And last ones are from Florida in '01. It was freezing there but we had to see the ocean!

Pages

2009-02-22T07:04:00.000-08:00

I have been trying to get some pages done this month. Things just sem to get in the way! Ugh! But I did get some finished at a crop I was at a few weeks ago. Ok, I seem to not have taken any more pictures!! I will do that and post later today!

Cards

2009-02-22T06:44:00.000-08:00

Ok here are some cards I have done this month, I have done 22 so far! YAY! The first one was the watercolor challenge. I am not sure, but I am thinking this might be too cheerful for a sympathy card? What do you think? The next one is one I made for a bunch of my good friends!! This one is in for the red, pink and whte challenge. Next is a birthday card I did for a swap, and also a sympathy card for a swap.

Baby Ben

2009-02-13T04:37:00.000-08:00

organization

2009-02-06T16:25:00.000-08:00

Alicia has posted some of her organized areas, I am soo jealous! She needs to come and help me out! But here is one of the only places in my room that is at least semi-organized! my stamp shelf! I have a few sets not on there...

Last family Christmas page

2009-02-05T05:49:00.000-08:00

OK here is my other sister's family pic from Christmas! I mimiced the background of the picture by using a stamp! I had one that was really close! I liked this page but the picture does not look as good as the real thing!! I have some more I should put on here but maybe later.

some January pages

2009-01-25T08:28:00.000-08:00

These ae some that I have been working on this month. I need to get busy as graduation is just 5 months away now! I think he is gonna make it too! Yes we were wondering!! On some of these I am trying to use all my old stuff! I have so much and I need to use it! Plus since I am on a spending freeze this month, it kinda works for me! i am not sure unless I go back and look, but I may have had these done last month?? I lost track with all the Christmas stuff going on! I put up the picture of my trophy. I was pleased with it. I know there are some other craftier people who could have made it better though! On the Sept 2002 page zI loved how the flower borders I made kinda matched the hawaiin type shirt Ben has on!

Another challenge done!!

2009-01-18T10:56:00.000-08:00

I got it done in time to send for the contest this week!! YAY!! I am hoping the next one will be something I can use for my other sister's family Christmas picture!! I used My cricut for the stars, and just some generic ribbon I have had for awhile. I bought this box with the ribbon in it a few years ago! I love it! The charms are from Oriental trading. They are on the wide red ribbon on the side.

Number challenge

2009-01-17T07:34:00.000-08:00

here is my other page for the challenge. This one was use numbers on your page. I really like this picture of 2 of my kids. We were on a walk in a park and taking some senior pictures of my daughter and could not resist some of the 2 together! It was a rare occasion that we were all there at the same time!!
