We expanded I have more craft space now so I thought it was time for a move.

Also check out my Facebook de-Stash page! 

Hope to see you at the new location!

Cards

Keeping busy!  Using more of my recent stash.

Art Journalling

I figured I needed to add some pages to my Art Journal that reflect the current times.  I saw something similar on the internet and had some fun with it.

Painting....

Using some of my stash!

More time in my craft area.  This is my happy place during our social distancing time.  I am trying to do a bit a day to just escape from the craziness that is our world right now.

So more cards,  this time using very old alcohol inks (which didn’t go well, although a little rubbing alcohol helped.). I also used some of my Copic re-Inkers when the old inks were not “running” the way I wanted.  I did find out that the alcohol lift ink did not work at all on my Copic or the old ink.  My original plan was to play with the alcohol lift ink but that went south so I just stuck with stamping instead.  Enjoy!

What to do?

So I have decided that if I buy anything I need to use it up right away.  Trying not to add more to my stash!  So due to all this social distancing I finished up some cards with paper that I recently purchased for male themed cards.   I never seem to have a stockpile and make them as needed, that isn’t always practical, so I decided to stick up on a few cards.  Enjoy!

Bloom

Art journal fun.

Easter Cards

Having some Easter fun.  Cards I started yesterday and finished today.

Sunday's Project's

Finally assembled these cards,  coloured the images a while ago!  These are to be mailed so they need to lay a bit flatter!  It's nice to finally get a bit of crafting time in!

I managed to also sneak in a bit of colouring, the trees and snowman...

Saturday's Project

After "fighting" with my Cricut and finally finding the power cord for my Silhoutte I finally managed to finish these cards.  They were from a kit but I was missing a few parts so I improvised!  

More Copic fun

Starting to work on possible Christmas cards.

Today's project

Playing with my Copics and a Northwoods stamp.

Colour, colour, colour... and cut!

I spent last Friday and Saturday taking workshops from Copic international, it was so much fun (other than on my way there on Friday when I cratered the transmission on my Mustang.. :( )

Anyway I have been playing since.

I had so much fun... I think the Green Dress is my favourite!  I can't wait to design some classes!

When I was done I tried out my Pix Scan mat for my Silhouette and it cut them out so nicely.  (I am not so good with scissors so I am loving this)

I need more time to colour and less time working!
