Pump and Bucket......

 

Good morning everyone.  I want to share with you another card I made for Heartfelt Creations using the Sunny Day Collection.  I love these images and can see myself using these many times in the future.  I absolutely adore that old bucket.  I envision my "Bucket List".  That would make a great card don't you think?

 

If you would like to havea list of all the products used and the instructions for making this card, just head over to the Heartfelt Creations blog and everything is listed there.   There are so many gorgeous projects listed there this week and I just know you will find something to inspire you. 

 

We are cold and dreary here in East Tennessee.  Yesterday we had snow showers and a high of 32 degrees.  Winter is still with us I'm afraid.  I'm so ready for green grass, flowers and blossoming dogwood trees!  It can't be long!

 

I know this has been sort of short and sweet this morning, but I'm really trying not to be too long winded these days.  Have a wonderful day and as always try and find time to be creative! 

Can you believe today is March 1st. and we are spiraling toward Spring!  I'm afraid I have cabin/Spring fever!  I want to feel the sun on my face and smell the flowers once again.  We have been having lots of snow showers and winds whipping and March is definitely coming in like a lion!  I have been doing some Spring cleaning a little here and a little there so that when good weather finally comes I can go outside and stay there if I want to.  I am an outside girl for sure and long to put my hands in the dirt and start my gardening!

This morning I'm here to share another project I made for Heartfelt Creations.  I love the February release stamps, papers and dies(the Sunny Day Collection).  They have been wonderful to play with!

If you would like the products I used on this card as well as all the instructions for making it, just head over to the HC blog and it's all listed there!  While you are there, have a good look around.  There is so much creativity and beauty there this week and I know you will be inspired! 

As always you can click on the names of the design team members and go visit their blogs!  Also don't forget there is an open design team call going on right now.  Jump in with both feet and give it a shot.  You have until March 16 to apply!  You can get all instructions and requirements on the HC blog!

Well that does it for me this morning.  I plan to spend the day in my craft room doing what I love!  What do you have planned?  I hope it's something wonderful!

Heartfelt Creations Wednesday.....

Well another Wednesday has rolled around and it's time for my fun part of the week when I get to post my projects that I have made for Heartfelt Creations.  Can you believe it February is almost over and before you know it March will come marching through.  I have loved working with the February release the Sunny Day Collection.  The stamps and dies and papers are just wonderful to work with!

Well I know this has been a long post this morning, so I'm going to get about my business.  Have a great day and try and find a small amount of time to be creative!

 

 

The weekend is over and we are groaning because it just didn't last long enough.  Some of us have to go back to work, others are staying home doing the Suzy Homemaker chores but we all groan about it. So let's ease into this week and try to enjoy it!

This morning I'm here to share a tag I made for Heartfelt Creations.  I love the soft colors on this one and hope you enjoy it.



Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCPC 3517 Busy Bee PreCut Set

HCPC 3405 Leaf Medley PreCut Set

Other Supplies: Tag, Spellbinders Dies (Fancy Lattice, Foliage, Long Classic Rectangles, Labels Four) Memento ink, Rangers Distress Inks, Scor-Tape, Gesso, seam binding, dew drops, Canson watercolor

Instructions: Paint the tag with white gesso, this makes the color you add to it sort of muted and it also gives a good tooth to the paper.  Add distress inks to the tag and distress the edges, add more color to the edges.  Cut out lattice and make a frame using the rectangles dies; glue the lattice to the back of the frame and attach to the tag.  Stamp the image onto water color paper and cut out with die.  Color using distress inks.  Attach to the front of the tag.  Stamp and cut out the leaves and glue to the top of the lattice piece.  Glue a dew drop to the leaves.  Next I used the seam binding as ribbon and tied to the top of the tag.

Well that does it for me this morning.  I will be spending my day running some errands and maybe some cleaning.  Playing will have to wait until another day!



Rusty Watering Can.......

Also Heartfelt Creations has issued a Design Team Call and if you think you might to apply, you can check out the requirements while you are there.  They are a great company to work for and their products are top notch!

Heartfelt Creations Wednesday......

Good morning everyone!  It is Wednesday and once again time for me to share one of my Heartfelt Creations projects.  The Sunny Day Collection is such a joy to create with.  I had so many ideas racing through my head and I decided I needed to start writing some of them down so I would not forget. 

 

 

This was a nut tin in it's previous life; now it will spend the rest of it's life just sitting pretty!  We should be that lucky!  Now if you would like to have all the supplies needed for this project and the instructions, just head over the the HC blog and you will find everything there.  You will be inspired by the creativity you find there this week.  So spend a little time and look around and enjoy! 

 

Also HC has issued their design team call and if  you have an interest, take a moment and check it out!  You can do it.....I just know you can! 

 

Well that's it for me this morning.  Enjoy your Wednesday and I hope you have a moment to just "Breathe"!

Good morning everyone!  Wednesday has rolled around once again and it's time to share my workdesk with you.  If  you don't have a clue what I'm talking about just head over to Julia's blog  and have a look around.  She is the creator of this little monster and let me just say I'm so very addicted to this Wednesday tradition and I  hope she never decides to stop! 

 I'm here to tell you what a happy camper this old girl is to have just received my new Spectrum Noir storage unit.  It also holds Pro Markers as well or if you own Copics, they work also!  I've tried many different ways to store them and nothing just was as functional or as neat and clean looking as this. 

 

This little number is from Crafter's Companion and I love it!  Also you can see part of my Spellbinders die storage and my Spellbinders Grand Calibur machine.  The little pink machine is the Zutter Distrezz it all and I love it too, but that little sucker is always in my way.  I use it a lot but it seems to be always where I don't need it to be.  Maybe I could carry it in my pocket!  Also please note the cad perched on top of the storage piece.  It is a beautiful creation from my friend Sylvia Nelson.  She is such a good friend and I cherish her every day!  She is always there to comfort or to praise or to just lend support across the miles. 

 

Well friends, that's it for me this morning.  I'm off to get a cup of coffee and have a look around at some of the workdesks linked to Julia's blog.
