Hello my friends, well I don't have to many on my blog yet. I hope that will change. I have only been blogging for a short time and working on putting my thought out of my head and on the page. I just wanted to share my First Design team spot for L. Miriams crafting blog and sales.The video is just to show what I did and what was used.

 Here are all four of them. I cut ATC size cards out of cardboard and decided I liked the corrugated part showing and just went with it. I painted them first with 3 coats of the Apple Barrel cream. I then started with Tim Holtz's, distress ink, vintage photo and raspberry.

 The one above, I added a vintage photo of a beautiful young girl and one of L. Miriam's metal flower embellishments, after I added a touch of peach paint, Apple Barrel, and Distressed ink raspberry by non other, then TIM HOLTZ. This man gets me in so much trouble. I then added a flat back pearl to the center. The flowers I used are from   Adele Garcia of  Glimpz of Memories on Facebook.https://www.facebook.com/groups/heidigarcia13/

 As you can see, I used tulle on all 4 of the ATC,s. I love the stuff. I hope you like my Design Team Project for L.

Hello my crafty friends. It has been a long time since I last blogged. I want to share some of the projects I have done. It has been a long week but can't complain. without further ado, here they are.

 This is my altered clip board for the Craft Hole on Face Book. I started by sanding the clip board smooth and painted it in black acrylic paint by Apple Barrel. I took the clip part off and stained it in Tim Holtz alcohol inks. You can't see how it how it turned out as I changed my mind and covered it. I used my most favorite paper line, Graphic 45,  Steampunk Spells.

 I covered the board with this awesome paper that killed me to cut but cut I did. I stopped crying after a bit. From there, I took the beautiful coordinating punch out flowers and banners. I strung the banner flags on some just twine with bows on each end. I then chose the flowers I wanted to embellish the clip board with. Inked with black soot distress ink,by non other then Tim Holtz, assembled them ( so cute)  . Does that not sound great together or what, G45 and Tim Holtz.  I also adorned it with two of my macaw parrot's feathers and one white feather from my snow white goose Tony and stained the center of the white feather with TH's   alcohol inks. it's the reddish one on the far right bottom. I had a little, tiny glass bottle with a cork ( got them off eBay) and filled it with TH's reinker in vintage photo, Glossy accented the cork so no spills could happen and set it between the two blue feathers. I then fussy cut out a tiny skull and cross bones from the same paper and used Aleens clear craft glue. Added a key charm , a metal corner accent to the left bottom corner and then added the thick chip board medallion to the clip. Ahhhh, done. Let me know what you think.

 This project was a challenge on The Craft Hole  swap group on Face Book , A altered tin . This took some time to assembled as I was changing my mind every time I turned around. I love the little animals I bought at the dollar store for a 1.00 for a nice size bag of them. Of course I had to alter them to.

Hello all my craft friends, welcome to my Blog. My Graphic 45 addiction. I am obsessed with anything G45. I am auditioning for the 2014 Design team for G45. I am new to all of this, blogging, networking was Greek to me a year or so ago.  I found things on what G45 is looking for in a Design Team Member to show all the awesome things you can make with there most awesome goodies. So, I started a blog, one of the things they like you to have. It's new and I hope it is at least close to what they are looking for. I would love to cross Being a G45 DTM off of my bucket list. There are so many wonderful talented ladies and gentlemen out there wanting the same as me and they have been doing paper crafting much longer then me but you have to start somewhere. All I can do is do my very best for them and pray. a lot. I am still fairly new to paper crafting, I have only been doing this for a little over a year. I have been a jewelery maker, making hand crafted paper beads, I love wood burning. Heck, I used to buy designer paper for making paper beads. They are beautiful by the way. I met one of my best friends, Joan Miller at a craft store, Michaels crafts and she introduced me to this very addictive craft and been loving it ever since. I was happy with my designer paper I already had, until....  I discovered Graphic 45. My first ever pad was Steampunk spells, and I was hooked. I am a G45 hoarder. I hate to cut into this awesome paper but if I am going to ever design for them, I need to get off my stack and make some awesome things from there paper to look at, lol. I want so badly to get my hot little hands on a pack of  Olde Curiosity Shoppe, Steampunk Debutante and aw hell, I want all of them. Retired or new. I have been disabled for some time. I hated to stop working. I made a great living but that all changed when I was hurt. I have to save for every little thing I buy for my beloved craft. I am saving up to get the G45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe. You can find it every so often on Ebay.  Well, please wish me luck on this DTM quest. I thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Please follow me and comment below. God Bless, Scrappy Happy. xxx

Hello everyone. I feel so alone. No one visit's, no one comments, lol. I'm new to this, I understand. I just want to share that I am auditioning for the Graphic 45 design team. It will be my first time ever. It has been a dream of mine since I found out there was such a thing.  I just started a project for round one. I will be adding photo's of it soon. I would love any help I can get. I love there products so much. Who better to design for them but someone obsessed with there awesome paper and findings goodness. I do have to save for everything I buy for my paper crafting. I am disabled and money is very tight. So everything I get from G45 is very important to me. Please wish me luck and a few prayers would help. I know I will be praying for Gods help. Thank you for stopping

Stop by and say hello. I also dipped into my most coveted stash of Graphic 45 goodness. It was so much fun to make. So, thank you Fernli Designs and Graphic 45 for the inspiration

Hi all, back for another go. I am just about done with Tundra's memorial album. I love the way it is turning out. I will be posting photo's tomorrow. I will also be attempting my first tutorial for G45. I am still looking for hints. I know I won't be chosen but I am still going to try. I am sick with the flu so I am going to close. Thanks for stopping by. Sweet G45 dreams.

Hello my friends. I just wanted to catch up a little on my blog. You see, I am wanting to be picked for the G45 DT. There are so many talented ladies out there to compete with. You never know. I also need to do a tutorial and I have had so much going on with my beautiful Tundra passing. Being sick and just not having my creative juices flowing. No MOJO. My good friend Kim is always a inspiration. I am looking for ideas for my tutorial. Please comment below. The one I choose will get a prize. Have a great day and happy crafting.

Hello all my crafty friends. I know it has been a long time since I've blogged. I have been busy with swaps, crafting items to sell and oh yea, I have a new puppy. She is a 8 week old Great Dane and she is adorable. She will never take Tundra's place in my heart but she has her on place there.
   I am so very excited about G45's new paper's they have out. But I am also waiting for the new papers to come out. Happy Happy Happy day. I am looking all the time for pattern paper. I have some beautiful paper but hands down, G45 is my #1 favorite.
    I did want to write down the day I got my puppy. 1/25/2014. Her birthday is 11/26/2013.
I will post the album I made for Tundra. I think it came out nice. Well, gotta go eat, Latter.

Hello all my crafting friends. Happy Thursday. I am working on and off on a altered cigar box for my friend Kim on the facebook page, U.K. Ireland swap group. I am doing mixed media on this box. I am really like the way it is turning out. I am working on the inside now.  My dog Tundra, Great Dane, was diagnosed with bone cancer. I have been spending alot of time with him.
  I went through my lace today. I love lace almost as much as Graphic 45, almost. I have a very nice assortment of lace now. I also have been working on my home made spritzes. They are wonderful. I will do custom colors. The price will be 4.99 plus shipping. Well, gotta go out and pick up horse poop. Yea. Will see you latter..... Hugs



1/10/2014 Hello all my crafty friends! So sorry I have not posted but I made the most hardest decision of my life, to have Tundra humanly euthanized.  So on 12/27/2013, His wonderful Dr York and I, helped Tundra to cross the rainbow bridge. My heart has been so heavy. I know it was best for him. Still doesn't  help. His ashes are right next to my bed were he always slept. I miss him more then you know.
    I am going to look at a beautiful fawn w/ black mask girl Great Dane. I know she can't fill that place in my heart for my white knight, Tundra but she will have a place of her own there.

The top two photos are my Tundra. The one taken with me was very early in the morning. I tried to spend every second I could with him.
  Above is the beauty I am hopefully going to adopt. I will let you know.
    Next time I post, it will be of a crafty subject. I have an idea for my next project. You can bet it will have my fave papers from G45 incorporated. Good night and crafty and Great Dane and G45 dreams.
