Witchy-Poo

Look at this fabulous project that my sewing teacher, Judy, is doing a workshop on.

The face and fingers are painted on to the green canvas.  I won't be taking this class as it is too much creativity for my brain to handle but I thought I'd share with you her wonderful creation. In the background, you can see all the fabulous quilts people have made.  

AND GUESS WHAT???? go check out this link  http://dudetimedoodles.blogspot.com/2011/06/featured-artist-and-special-dudeville.html

If you scroll down a bit, you'll see Marlene from www.disguisedasagrownup.blogspot.com.  Marlene is so awesome, and if you haven't been going there, you're missing on some great FREE digi's that she has created. Anyway, there's a Q&A with Marlene and she is on FIRE!  

On another aside, DudeTimeDoodles features some great digi images that I LOVE that you can buy... so it would be a great place to go just to see some AWESOME digis.

Seriously, I love Marlene (and Tammy, and Jeni, and Viv, and Mary and so many others....).  I love to advertise their blogs because they are inspirational!!!!   I'm a total groupie to these ladies (but I don't stalk....  I repeat (FOR THE AUTHORITIES)  I DO NOT STALK!!!   )

I'm glad to see that Marlene is showcased in all her gassy glory!  (inside joke for those of you who don't know Marlene.)  

Thank you Tammy (click to go to her super blog to see great cards) for the 4-1-1 on Marlooney!!! :)

I have no more cards until the weekend so go see Tammy and Marlene and Mary and Jeni.  And stay tuned for possibly another sewing project.  (Class is Saturday so let's see what Judy has in store for me). 

Hugs and kisses!!!!

Happy Father's Day card

Here is the real Father's Day card that I just dropped off at my dad's (Tuesday night).  

I got the idea from Mary  over at Cardztv.   The background is a Stampin' Up background stamp of polka dots that I used UTEE on.  The shirt?  Well, check out Mary's video on how to make it. She's great at explaining stuff.  The sentiment came from my computer.

On a side note, my Paper Trey Ink order is due in to arrive by Saturday!!! Let's see what I can make with that stuff (OR NOT!).  I occasionally buy things and don't use them... for a while.  Ie, my Cricut Lite carts (Block Party and Hoot n Holler).  I'm now looking for 4-Legged Friends.  I don't think Walmart is carrying it anymore.

French Memo Board

I have a handful of cards that came from some of my friends here in this blogging community. I like to keep them up where I can have them displayed for inspiration.  I decided (after seeing Mary's French Memo board in her NEW RECORDING STUDIO), that I would make one as well.  Mine is much smaller but I put up a few cards from my dear friends.  I will have to find other areas in my scrap-cave for the other ones.  Fabric and ribbon came from Joanns.  I got the instructions from a YouTube Video  (at Karlee's blog ).  

Note: I did use some brads that I got at Michaels. This corkboard was purchased at Wal-Mart (14"x14").

My 3rd Sewing Project.... an Apron

Here is the apron I made (with a lot of assistance from my sewing teacher, Judy).  We used a pattern of hers and I did the sewing, however she helped me create an even 'ruffle' at the bottom of the apron.  Granted, this apron isn't for me. I don't use aprons... because microwaving food is not considered cooking (haha!).  Those are ladybugs on the fabric.

Father's Day Card

I've been working on some sewing projects and craft projects...  :(  I'll share those with you in the week.

Here's my Father's Day card... that I forgot to drop off at my Father's...

I don't have a Father's Day stamp but this stamp from Paper Trey Ink did nicely.

The punch is from Martha Stewart's Punch around the page.

I'm back....

for a bit. I have been busy with work, sewing, an Angels' game, organizing the house,....

So, if you forgot what I looked like, here I am in my work attire....

And here is my scrapping room (I still need to put up my rails for my punches that are laid out on the table)....

The cubby on the left is Home Depot's Martha Stewart. The cubby on the right is from Target and on clearance.  The TV will be moved out soon... to allow for another cubby.  The stuff to the left is my sewing material. My sewing machine on the top of my cubby with all my sewing supplies.  My 12x12 paper is on the bottom right in a couple storage container.

My 'scrap' paper is under the AirWalk Box,mailing boxes next to them, Airwalk box contains digi images to be colored

More 12x12 paper is behind the laptop, below my Sam Winchester calendar (thanks L!). Check out my Brian Lock book (behind the lamp!)

I have some punches behind the door but plan to move those, and another Target storage cubby holds a lot of embossing, Cricut Carts, extra glue, etc.... My expression is under the Ikea (red/white) pillowcase.

I hope to make cards by this weekend.  I am also reading a FABULOUS book called THE PASSAGE.  I didn't know if I'd like it but OMG! I thoroughly enjoy it.   I will be back though now that I've gotten a lot of the house stuff done.

A LITTLE ABSENT IN THE HEAD

Hi everyone....
For my 5 followers out there (haha- and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!)... I'm doing a lot of cleaning and organizing at my house so I'm going to be kinda quiet for a couple weeks. I'm re-organizing my scrap room, and 2 other bedrooms... AND trying to clean this house out of all the stuff I've been saving for the past 10 years.  My scrap room looks a bit better but there is still stuff all over the place from the other rooms.  

I have a hard enough time creating a card but it is definitely madness here.





Anyway, hang in there... and go visit Marlene, Tammy, Jeni, and Viv... AND of course Mary and Christina (for videos).... 

I hope that I will soon be able to film the chinchillas and make more videos of "What will Stimpy eat?"
