I have added some new stuff and really need to start getting rid of all my listings. All prices are negotiable, so just ask… the worst I can say is that isn’t do-able!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Saturday. I love lazy Saturdays! I haven’t had one in almost 2 months! No joke! Today I got to play a little with a tin. I plan on using this for a gift card for my good friend who has a birthday in a couple of weeks. I used some awesome Bazzill paper that I have had for eons. I covered the tin with a red shade.

I stamped random shapes from a Autumn leaves set I had. I stamped the shapes in Versa Magic ink in Red Magic and Sea Breeze. I popped up some of the shapes with SU! dimensional. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the A Muse Birthday Builder set. The ribbon is SU! taffeta ribbon.

I felt that something was missing so I added some bling… isn’t that always answer??  This was a really simple project and fun to do!

Remember in the fall when I gave away that awesome A Muse blog candy?? Well, I still have one that went unclaimed! Can you believe that???

To win, just leave a comment, I will draw a winner on Thursday. Enjoy!

Happy Saturday,

Andrea

Is it Friday yet? It’s already been a long week and I am super tired! I have to be up at 5am tomorrow (insert grumble and eyeroll here). But I didn’t want to leave the reader I still have… which I appreciate you more than you know!

Here is one that I did b/f I went on “sebatical”…

This Elzybells image is too cute! I stamped him in Palette Noir and colored him with Prisma Color makers (I really need to get on that Copic bandwagon!)

I put Icicle Stickles on the flakes for a little extra sheen.  Mr. Penguin’s pom-pom on his hat is done with Liquid Applique and then heated with the heat gun. FYI- that is what makes it pop up, in case you didn’t know, but you probably did.

The sentiment is by A Muse and stamped in Palette Brown. I used A Muse’s 4 bar note cards for the base and the accent paper behind the scallop. That delicious ribbon is by Strano.

Remember, check out my For Sale page… there is a lot left. If there is something you really want, make me an offer, we’ll talk!

Another year has come and gone… and the past few months I am sure like for the rest of you, has been exhausting! We went to Vegas, visited numerous family and friends, bought gifts for 18 kids, brothers, sisters and parents, had a FABULOUS Christmas and super relaxing New Year.

I am now fighting off my second bout with a bacterial infection (sort of like a viral infection, it just sounds super gross). I feel lousy and want to crawl into bed. I can’t though, I brought work home today because I missed 2 days of work and I still need to put Christmas stuff away. I am so behind on everything!

It will be nice to get back to normal and find my life again! Oh, and to begin creating. I need that more than you know! I didn’t do hardly any Christmas cards, and I didn’t even send out store bought ones… so if you are a friend of mine, don’t feel slighted, I still love you!

Here is a picture I did manage to take of Gracie in front of the tree though… isn’t she the best????

Please check out my “For Sale” tab at the top. I am unloading a lot of stuff and plan to add more. This is not a store, I just need to thin out my collection. I am running out of room!!!

I should be checking in more regularly now… Life is still good!
