Time to Get to Dusting!

It's about that time y'all.  I need to dust off the supplies and get back to it.  I've had some ideas swirling around in my head and it's about time I did something with them.  It will probably take me a little time to get back into the swing of things as my baby is only 7 months old, but I'm ready!


Stay tuned...

Hanging up my Wings

Thank you for all your support the past three 1/2 years of my being an angel. I have met and made so many dear friends through The Angel Company. While my craft time has dwindled, I hope to be able to continue to share projects with you here and there.

I'll still be crafting when time permits, please see my new blog for future posts.

Finding Craft Time

I managed to spend a weekend early in January to work on some birthday cards, but after breaking the camera in December, I then lost it which is why I haven't shared any photos lately. We found it this week so I'll post some pics soon.

Also the past week I've been working on some things for a baby shower. I will have photos to share of that too after this weekend. I don't want to spoil any surprises.

If you'd like a catalog or want to place an order, email me, IM me, or give me a call.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and let you know I'm still here. LOL This month just completely got away from me. I've had no crafty time which is a huge bummer. I hope to be able to work on my Christmas cards soon, plus I have a few other projects in progress.

I hope to have some goodies to share with you soon.

Be safe, be blessed.

Swap Cards

Sorry to be MIA for so long. This month has been super busy at work, I feel like I always say that, but this time I had to go into the office for a week and immediately after that my boss went on a three week vacation so we've been distributing her work amongst the 4 of us in our department. The good news is we've all learned a lot these past few weeks. We're all ready for vacations of our own, good thing the holidays are quickly approaching.

Here are my swap cards finally! I joined a swap on Paper Wings to get some inspiration. I just adore Cheery Thought! I knew I had to use it. I paired it up with Miss Moxie paper. I was going for a different theme card so I chose "Hooray for you" as the sentiment.

The other card I made used Joyful Ornaments and Penelope paper. I used transendence embossing powder so the images would stand out and I like the way it turned out. I like the bold rich colors of Penelope for a Christmas card. I'm thinking about making some more cards similar to this one, but using Reece paper instead.

Halloween is fast approaching and while some are anxiously awaiting trick-or-treating, I'll be celebrating my Angel-versary! This year will be three years with the angel company and I'm still loving it as much as I did when I first started. There's a gathering in Waco in January I might look into attending, need to check with the hubby.

Have a safe Halloween! Don't get too spooked and be sure and brush after all that candy. ;-)

Up next: More Altered Letters

Altered Letters

I've been wanting to make altered letters ever since I found out my step mom painted my step brother's and step sister's rooms. I want to say last summer Lizzy helped me paint the letters. Josh's room is painted green and blue and has a camping theme and Katie's room is painted lavendar and green and has a flower and butterfly theme. I worked on Josh's first because I had all these ideas in my head that were waiting to jump on the letters. Here's how they turned out:

The J is covered with bug paper because when I think camping I think of bugs galore. LOL The O has fire, chocolate and smores because camping's not camping without 'em!

The S has a sleeping bag, tent and a pair of hiking boots, all necessities while camping. I actually learned how to tie some knots via youtube so I used some twine at the top and bottom. The H is covered with water paper and has two fishing lures glued to it. I originally wanted to hang fishing line from the H, but these were too cool to pass up since they glow in the dark. I figured Josh would like that. Now to work on Katie's. I should have those to share soon.

Have a great weekend! I'll be out of town next week so I probably won't post again till I get home.

Halloween Treat Bag

I don't know what it is about the holidays, but as they near I find myself inspired to make all sorts of treat and homemade gifts. With Halloween approaching I searched a couple of different websites for a treat bag to make and finally ended up on Scor-Pal's website. It took only a few minutes to make these, even with time included for stamping. I used Trick or Treaters T-2795 to decorate the cardstock which was Bazzill I had on hand. I plan to make a few more for some friends, who doesn't love candy? I bought a few bags of Hershey's minis chocolates and bubble gum and smarties for the non-chocolate lovers, the very few of you out there. LOL I've eaten quite a few of the Krackle already which means I'll have to buy more. Yum!






These are the first two I made so after I made the one completely I started the second one to know how to place my stamps on the rest so they all were facing the right way. I made sure Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween were on the sides on the bag.

If you'd like to try these yourself, here are the instructions. The only change I made was in making the 45 degree angles because I don't have a Scor-Mat so I marked my cardstock at 3 1/2" and then made my own score line to the crease using the Scor-pal. I bought treat bags in the party supplies area of Walmart and then cut them at 6". It fits the candy perfect with just an inch at the top above the twist-tie. The ribbon is from Walmart too.


Have a splendid weekend!

Friday Share - Mini Backpack

I'm sure many of you have seen the adorable backpack on The Angel Company Homepage that Rita Wetzel designed,but if you haven't, checked it out. It's too cute for words, especially with the Toodle Loo paper. I gave it a try last week before Lizzy left. She wanted to make two for her brothers and one for her. Here's one we made. It wasn't that difficult and came out pretty cute. I used some retired Kaleidoscope Brites paper. We didn't make it fancy, but I plan to make another soon and will share them with you.





Want to give it try? Here are the instructions.

Have a fantastic weekend!
