Frames for the birthday girl

Happy Memorial Day dear friends !!!!!!

I hope everyone has enjoyed there long weekend !!! I know I sure have that is for sure.

I went to the graveyard and decorated my parents grave along with my Aunt Rosie’s.

Then Saturday we had my oldest granddaughters birthday party. She turned 9. It was sure a hot day but we had a cookout and all the kids played volleyball and played in the pool. Then she got a trampoline for her birthday so they all had a great time in it. And this ol lady got in it too. Oh what a site it was !!!!

So yesterday I had a play day in my craft room finishing up all the projects that had been started for my youngest granddaughter’s birthday. She always wants some craft stuff from me along with her presents and this time she placed her own order along with a picture lol She is a total little diva that is for sure lol

But this is one of her dear friends she gave me a picture of so this is the frame I made for her. I used A Wee Stamp that I got at Whimsy Stamps along with the sentiment and die for it. Then I used a Memory Box die and added some bling. I used some lazer Chipboard from Make It Crafty and colored it with the Silks Acrylic Glaze. The flowers were painted with Glamour Dust Glitter Paint. And I colored my image with my copic’s and spica glitter pens. The paper is some older paper from SU.

The next frame is a image from Sylvia Zet for Susana’s Custom Art and Cards. She has also been colored with copic’s and spica glitter pens.

I used some more lazer chipboard from Make it Crafty and this gorgeous bling flourish is from a very sweet dear friend.

Flowers were painted with glamour dust glitter paint.

All the same things here except I used a Wee image here and the papers are also older SU papers.

I am just about done with my projects one more to go and my desk will be clean again lol I hope to finish it today. We will see.

Thanks so much for stopping bye and seeing me. I know I don’t get on much but do thank each of you that leave me such wonderful comments.

Sending you Big Hugs ((((()))))) And enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

I got to finish a couple things

Happy Easter dear friends !!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying there Easter weekend. I know it is a little chilly here.

I finally got a full weekend off and finally got to finish up some of my projects I have had laying around half finished !!! I hate that I have so many things not finished. I just work so many hours there isn’t enough time for my crafting time. Right now there is no light at the end of the tunnel for these hours but we keep hoping it slows down some.

But today I have a notebook to show you that I started while I was off on surgery leave. I used some Basic Grey papers and this adorable Magnolia Tilda. I had most of it done just had to put it together.

Dies I used are Magnolia, Whimsy Stamps and Spellbinders. And I added some Diamond Glaze on the daisy

Then when my daughter took me shopping in the big city for my birthday I ran across this wooden guitar frame and I knew someone that just had a baby that plays a bass guitar and thought this would make a great gift.

I used the Silks Paint from Susana’s and I so love this stuff. I am not a good painter at all but you can’t see any streaks or anything in it and you can use it on all kinds of surfaces.

Guitars and music notes were from Jolee’s and I used my BossKut alphabet dies for his name.

I had a very hard time trying to get a picture of this for it is a fairly large frame so you can’t see the stars very well but I ended up using some Silks on them too and stamped Mommy and Daddy’s Rock star on the stars.

Larger picture of top

Well I do hope you have a wonderful Easter and I would love to thank you so much for all of you that leave me such lovely comments. It is so greatly appreciated.

Have a great day and Sending Big Hugs (((((((())))))))))))

As for me, well I am still off work . Yes I went and seen the surgeon  yesterday and he is not letting me return to work  yet. I go back for another follow up in a couple of weeks

It is nice to be off work but not without a paycheck coming in. Plus I am really starting to get bored lol Yelp you read that right. i was sort of ready to go back to work. Maybe just not the long hours lol

But today I wanted to show you a couple of things I have made over the last few days that I finally finished.

He has been colored with my copic’s and  the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  I have used a label from Spellbinders and some brads with spacers in the corner.

These gorgeous papers are from Maja Design that was from the Crea Shop. Oh how I wish we could get these papers here in the states !!!!!!!!

Next I finally finished a bag I needed to put a gift in and I used these adorable Hanglar images. Papers are from K&Co and I used Spellbinder corner die, Cheery Lynn Designs for the doily and a die from Tim Holtz for the bracket.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have used a Magnolia leaf die and a MS branch punch. The lace was from my stash and I distressed the edges of the papers with distressed inks.  And the border punch I used is from SU.

I also used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen to make some  flat pearls on the corner dies. Susana has lots of Viva Decor Products in her store and am so loving playing with all these products.

Here is a close up of the bag.

Well that is it for me for today. I need to try to go do some cleaning and then hope to get some more play time in.
