Floor is finally done

Here is the craft room with new floor - love it.

Dining room floor

Room #2 is almost done.  Just waiting on trim. Then I can get all the furniture and stuff put back into its place.

Craft room floor makeover

And the work has begun!!!!

Rustic Tree

Love this new die I got to make Christmas trees.  I used an old branch from the yard for the base. So cute! 

Craft show

My craft show booth at Lake Ashton last weekend.  I did very well but am glad it is over.  It sure is  a lot of work getting enough inventory made.

Spiderweb Christmas Card

I made this quick card using the Stampin Up spiderweb from the holiday catalog.  One side is black and the back side is white.  Makes a perfect snowflake, don't you think.

Glitter Ornament card

Here is a quick and easy Christmas card I made for the craft show.  Just 2 weeks away!

Deer Christmas cards

I am still making Christmas cards for the upcoming Lake Ashton craft show.  These were pretty easy and quick except for the fussy cutting of the deer.  Saw a similar card somewhere on Pinterest.

Burlap Leaf Placecards

I am trying to get a jump start on the holidays.  These burlap leaf placecards are for my Thanksgiving table this year.  I used up scrap burlap and cardstock to make the leaves and used my label maker for the names.  

Ribbon Trees

I am making a few of these ribbon trees for an upcoming craft show.  I have a lot of this striped ribbon from Stampin Up which is now retired.  Hope I can sell some at the November craft show.

Vintage Christmas Tags

A few Christmas tags I am making for a special order - love the vintage look.

Snowman Family

I made this card today and am planning on using it for one of the Christmas cards at my upcoming class.  Lots of die cutting but I really like it.  CASE'd it from another demonstrator Aida Veeken who I think is from the Netherlands.

Butterfly shower favor boxes

I made 25 of these butterfly boxes this weekend for wedding shower favor boxes  The bride's colors are cream and burnt orange.

Another Halloween card

And yet here is another Halloween card I made.  I have had this very large witch stamp for quite some time and decided to make a quick card.  She is black heat embossed on some old DSP.  I really like how she turned out.

Skeleton in the Window

I have been making Halloween cards and made this shaker card using an old stamp and a new die.  Shaker cards are so much fun to make.

Autumn Leaves

Another post - 2 days in a row :).  Made these 2 cards today using an old leaf stamp and my new stitched die.  Used Copic markers and my air gun to make the autumn colors.  Love the new sequins I bought online - Cartwrights sequins.

CAS White card

My dear friend Lynn and I crafted all day last Saturday -played along with crafters all over the world as we participated in Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-Faire 2015.  Here is one of the cards I made that day.  The assignment was to make an all white card ( was OK to use a neutral such as black).  I do love the butterfly in this Stampin Up set.

Santa Shaker Card

I made this shaker card today - so much fun.  It is one of the cards I am going to use for my October Christmas card class.

Triangle Birthday

I took a week off from blogging and and back with another card I made for the USE IT 2015 challenge.  This card used the triangle coverplate from Papertrey ink and some SU scrap DSP.  The sentiment is from MFT - Birthday Chalkboard Greetings.

Lovely as a Tree Reflection technique

I made this card using an old Stampin Up set Lovely as a tree - ( it has been around a long time) and used the reflection technique to make the trees look like they are being reflected in the water.  I also dug out my really old Judi Kins color dusters - brushed with wood handles and long soft bristles and just brushed the color background.

Step Fold Tree Christmas card

I made this card using a few stamp sets - even stamped the patterned paper,  It is the first step fold card I have made.

Trio of Retired Stampin Up Long Notes

I found a pack of now retired Stampin Up "Long Notes" and made this set of cards.  There are long envelopes that fit perfectly.  This is a good way to use up Designer series paper.  The tag is from the retired Two Tags die.  Now I need to finish the rest of the pack of long notes.

Watercolor Roses

Here is one card I made today for the Use It 2015 challenge.  This is a really old Stampin Up set called Simple Florals.  I did some simple watercoloring, rounded the corners, added some vintage looking ribbon, background paper and VOILA.

Recycled Star paper

Here is 1 card I made with the left over piece of star paper from a Paper pumpkin kit.  The stars were punched out and used for confetti in a shaker card.  I think it works perfectly with this sentiment.

Butterflies and handmade paper

Sorry I missed posting for a week but things got so busy.  Here are a pair of cards I made using a really old Stampin Up set Butterfly of Happiness.  I had this handmade paper in my stash and wasn't sure what to use it for.  I really like how these turned out.

Merry Christmas from Florida

A quick card I made for this week's Use it 2105 challenge.  I saw this card on Lizzie Jones blog and decided to CASE it.  

Stained glass window

Made this card for the Use It 2015 challenge for this week.  Love the simple elegance of the card.

Ombre Bird

Here is a simple card I made using a new ink pad I got from Hero Arts - Ombre pool to blue.  Got to use a few things I had and never used - sunray die and the cloud coverplate and the stamps - Impression Obsession large solid bird and the sentiment from Dina Wakley Media - Scribbly Birds.  Have a great week.

Pocket full of Sunshine

A quick card I made ( CASE'd from Jessica Witty) using Papertrey Inks Back Pocket Basics stamp set and Stampin Up "Kinda Eclectic..   I had never used either set but really like them both.  

Father's Day Saw

I made this clean and simple card for my weekly Use It 2015 challenge.  I used silver embossing powder for the saw and fussy cut it out.  The black dots on the saw handle are black gesso.  

Shaker Card Perk Up

Here is a card I made for this week's Use It 2015 challenge using MFT's cute coffee cup set called Perk Up and their die set Coffee cup.  I was trying to make a flat shaker card and use mini beads inside.

Beach Time

I made this card for 2 challenges - the weekly MFT sketch#227 and the USEIT2015 challenge to use stamps that I rarely use or have never used.  This card is so bright in real life.

Prima Banner

I took a class last weekend at a great scrapbook/craft store "Violette's" in Lakeland and we made this banner.  I love the large doll stamps by Julie Nutting.

Angel Wings

A clean and simple sympathy card that I CASE'D from Dawn Rusk of Our Daily Bread.  I made the angel wings on my embroidery machine.  

Hello Hello Flower

Here is a nice and simple card I made for this week's USE IT 2015 Challenge.  CASED from Maile Belles a few years ago  from one of the card magazines I used to get.  I made one for a Mother's Day card as well as changed out the sentiment.
