I got to finish a couple things

notebooiksm

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

notebooik

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 (((((((())))))))))))

If you click on the link for the Silks above there are some tutorials by Marti on different things to do with them but I wanted to try it on some wood !!! Oh check it out ! I think this product is just amazing. I so love it, only 1 coat of paint here on this box and no streaks nothing ( I am not a good painter so this is awesome) I used Blue Flame on the box. Then I used Ginger Peach on the Crinoine  which I got from the Funkie Junkie.  These silks took the crinoine wonderfully !!!

And here is a couple more ways I used it. I put some Blue Flame on white paper and ran it through one of my embossing folders and then took a sanding block and sanded the embossing some. Then I also used it on the seam binding I have laying on the card front here. I am telling you this stuff is wonderful !!! I know I am going to get me some more colors to play with. This product is just wonderful.

Glinda

kirstiecardsm

Hello dear sweet blogging friends !!! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend !!! Same ol for me but did manage to get a card made yesterday. I tell you working all these hours sure has put a damper on my crafting fun. It is like I am only able to get on the net once a week and that is so not me lol But we have to work to pay the bills and pay for our habits don’t we??

Well anyway the card I made is this adorable Glinda from Krista Smith for my granddaughters birthday.  I so love coloring her images. I have colored her with my copic’s and spica glitter pens. I also used diamond glaze on her eyes and lots of glamour dust.

This gorgeous paper I got from Susana’s Custom Art and Cards and I so love this pad. It is Bo Bunny’s Serenity Collection. I didn’t add any layers for I didn’t want to cover this sheet up at all. I painted the paper behind the image with red glamour dust glitter paint.

The corner dies are from Whimsy Stamps and the ticket die is from My Favorite Things. I used a Magnolia leaf and border die and the branch punch is from MS. The flowers were coated with crystal glamour dust glitter paint.

I have not entered a challenge in ages with my work hours but after coloring this image I saw where Saturated Canary Challenge  is to use Twine and so I am going to enter this card there.

kirstiecard

I had colored this image a while back and so I just stuck it in a frame today.  Actually I made a couple of them so will give them to the granddaughters.
