All Things Grow

Better with Love.

It has been over a month since I posted anything....... and this week with, School Book Fair, parent teacher interviews and a bake sale, laundry, floors, windows, walls, bathrooms, kids, pets, and lets not forget the hubby........(I'm sure I forgot a couple things off my list......Oh wait....I am not suppose to be doing any of that since I have wrecked something in my back. Not having that big list has probably helped with me actually finding time to get on my blog.  I have been making cards, just not posting them.

Here is the card I made today for Mojo Monday 234. I chose a square card, and since I thought I saw stuff sprouting in my flower bed, I though I would make something a little springy.

My Supplies:
        -Paper from my scrap box and from Kaiser Craft Konstrukt Collection Concrete, and copics paper.
        -Pop dots
        -Cricut and Cartridge Elegant Edges (My new favourite Cartridge)
        -Stamps from Penny Black- Betsy Bluebell & MFT- In My Garden (saying)
        -Stazon Ink- Purple
        -Memento Ink- Rich Cocoa
        -My sewing machine with purple thread
        -Copics- C1, C3, C5, T4, Y15, G3, G5, B0000, B14, B91, B93, B95, E00, E02, E33, E35, Y26, BV0000, BV00, BV01, R29, R81, R83, R85, RV10 and the Blender Pen.

Here are a couple of the cards I have made for Mojo Mondays that I never entered.

Christmas, any time of the year.

I know it's been a while since I posted anything,

 but I have been busy.....making Christmas Cards,

along with the regular excuse of Life Happens.

 I know its not the season, but you can never start to early. 

 My plan is to make lots of cards so that I can sell them at crops and craft fairs. 

 I have a couple more styles that I have not finished yet, but here are the ones that are done.

I have made several of each style.

These cards were made with inspiration from Cards made by my kids Music Teacher.

I haven't just been making Christmas cards. Here is a couple of others cards that I have made.

This one was made using Mojo Monday for a friends Birthday.

I made this one just because a friend asked for a cute card for her co-worker. I hope she'll like it.

Until next time,

Stacey

Believe

This Card was made by using Mojo Monday 222.

Their first template of the New Year.

I used paper from Bazzill Basics "Bouquet", also paper from "Forever in Time" Glitter double sided Card Stock, and Lavender and Blue Reflections Card Stock. I used Versa Magic "Purple Hydrangea" Chalk ink around the edges of the card and on the stamp "believe" from Close to My Heart "The Simple Things".  I also used my Creative Memories flower embellishments and my paper distresser on all of the paper. I like the touch of yellow added with thread and my sewing machine.  I hand cut out the Cuttle Bug embossed flourish. I also used copics Y15 to colour some little white brads yellow, I think that is my favourite thing about copics, you can colour almost everything to match anything.  I also added a medium size yellow brad to the Creative Memories flowers and the newly painted yellow brads to the little purple flowers .

On another note I hope every one had a safe and Happy New Year. We had a great time with family and friends during the Christmas week, and a very quiet New Year......just the way I like it.  My daughter has been helping me today stamp all of my new stamps that I have collected over the last couple of  months.  Thanks Punkin Pie! Once they are stamped on regular photo copy paper (3 times), it then goes into my binder. I give 2 of my friends a copy as well, and vise versa, that way if any one of us is looking for a stamp for a specific occasion, we can look through the binders and "borrow" the stamp set.  This is a great way to pool our resources, since we love to scrap together. We also use this sharing method with a lot of the other scrapbook supplies. I hope this little tid-bit is something that you and your friends can use if you don't already.

Thanks for stopping by,

Until next time,
