Cupboard Reminder

Hello!

One more week to enter into this challenge at Quirky Crafts Challenges!  I managed to make another card with the images from Crackerbox Palace.  Check out her other cute images by clicking on the link! 

I printed everything onto white cardstock and coloured in the selected images with my Stampin Up markers.  The 5x6.5" card front was covered in papers from the Boho Chic 8x8" pad from Michaels to simulate and older parlour setting.  I adhered the cupboard accordingly into the room and added the wrapped boxes on the floor and the pictures on the walls.  (stickers from my vintage stash)  That's it!  Quick and easy card.  Hugs!

Where Bloggers Create 2013

Welcome!!

I am proud to be part of my second 'Where Bloggers Create'.  When I joined in last year I found some wonderful artists to follow and get inspired by.  I strongly recommend taking a day off, a series of snacks and settle in for a day of inspiration! 

My space has stayed basically the same as last year.  However, we did have a small flood last year just after I posted my space.  We needed to pull up the carpets and repaint the floor.  I lost a bit of supplies, but this gave me the kick in the pants I needed to go through and pare down the overflow of stuff I had.  I got rid of 4 binders worth and a pile of wood mounted stamps I was not really using.  I also filled about 4 boxes full of papers and ephemera that I would not use anytime soon.  I would eventually use it up, but my hubby had put his foot down to make my semi-hording more manageable.  Got rid of restrictive shelving and replaced it with a system that works for me.  Here we go!

Canada Quilt

Image
I finally got some finished pictures of a Canada quilt I finished just before Christmas.  This is my first pieced quilt.  And of course I had to make it a large one....

So piecing started in the fall of 2016.


Once the blocks were created I needed to decide what order to place the blocks.

 The pieced front was completed in the spring of 2017

Starting to work on the back in the fall of 2017.
And then off to be quilted by a fellow quilter with a long arm machine.  Thank you Shawna at Aba Daba Quilts!
And Voila!  A finished, and binded quilt, just in time for my sister to sleep under it in my guest room at Christmas!

 Hugs!

It's Almost Here!

Image
Hi everyone!

Well the Christmas season has snuck up on my again this year!
Work hours increased, and preparations for a family Christmas here has kept me busy.
Before my guests arrive, I thought I'd show this year's Christmas Card designs.

I decided to do a foil emboss this year.  Relatively quick and very pretty!



Here are the steps!
Foil adhered in random fashion on cardstock that has double sided tape (sookwang in my case), then passed through an embossing folder and machine. 
 Rub a permanent ink over the raised parts of the embossing
 Cut these panels in half and also cut the layers you will need.  Keep the scraps for the inside!
 Use the green panel to cut a mat for your embossed piece.  Also will save on weight when layering.


Add embellishments and voila!  80 Christmas cards ready to go out! LOL!
