I don't even know if anyone blogs anymore?? I thought I'd take some time while watching football and see when the last time I was on my blog was. Holy cow! So I thought while I was here I would look around and starting going through all the links I had and how sad to see so many sites closed. <br />
<br />
I feel like people are still head over heels for the crafts they love I just wonder if they don't have time anymore. So many stores closed also. Sad. I also wonder if everyone (myself included) gets all their inspiration from Pinterest now?<br />
<br />
I haven't stopped making cards - I have taken some time to teach myself how to sew - I will never be a seamstress heehee!! <br />

Still loving my Copics!<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is still out there and creating good stuff! xoElizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861497081075554147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314621943829113072.post-80150983298638145122015-06-06T15:36:00.004-04:002015-06-07T16:14:45.780-04:00Loooong Time No PostI can't even believe how long it's been since I've been active on my blog. I threw myself head first into a new craft (sewing) and have completely neglected to do anything card related in months and months. I got it in my head I wanted to learn how to quilt. Fine. First I needed to make friends with my sewing machine. My husband bought me a sewing machine a few years ago and we have had a love hate relationship! I couldn't see to master the simplest of skills such as threading a bobbin much less getting the bobbin where it was supposed to go and actually getting that darn little thread where it belongs. My daughter tried to show me I don't know how many times and I just couldn't get it. So I sat down one weekend with my manual and my machine and was determined to get it. Hours later success and sort of a feeling of finally knowing what I was doing!! So I've spent a lot of time practicing and making a mess and I've finally got a handle on some of the basics. <br />
<br />
I'm sure some of you are laughing at me because I know this is something done everyday by a million people and I just couldn't get it~!! So I've finally made a couple blankets and I'm still doing lots of learning but I really do enjoy it. I've also gone back to crocheting which I hadn't done in forever either. So while I've been creating I just stopped making cards. <br />
<br />
Then a girlfriend of mine opened her own business and said "hey, make me some cards I will throw them on the counter and see if they sell". So back to card making it is. I literally forgot exactly how much I loved making cards. So I'm trying to find a balance to do all these crafty things at once and still manage to go to work everyday! Hope all has been well with all of you and hope to get back into the blogging world also I see I've missed an awful lot of awesome projects on all your blogs! Hugs to you all.<br />

Cute <a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/" target="_blank">Sassy Cheryl</a> digi colored with Copics. This little piece of velvet pink ribbon is the last piece I had of it - I don't remember where I got it but it is so pretty and I had been holding on to that last piece! <br />

It's been a busy few weeks and there has been little craft time but I made this card.<br />

I go through these phases where I let other things occupy my time like a crazy person and then I realize that what I really want to be doing is sitting in my craft room watching the latest horror movie and making some cards! <br />
<br />
I did get married in September so that took a lot of my time, it was a very small wedding on the beach by my folks house, just close family and friends and then we had a nice dinner.<br />

Mark and I with my daughter Angelina. A few weeks after the wedding was my daughter's Sweet 16 party! It was a busy but blessed time.<br />
<br />
I have been feverishly working on Christmas cards and I wanted to share these two with you, went back to some of my good old favorite Penny Black stamps. <br />

So I did! I checked out the High Hopes Challenge Blog to see what challenge they had this week and it's <a href="http://highhopesstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">"Buggin Out"</a> so I grabbed this older image for my entry.<br />

I can't stand it but yet I can't seem to get myself back in there. I went out yesterday to my favorite spot, The Inspiration Station, and bought some paper and some new stamps. Do you ever go through such a dry spell? <br />
<br />
I keep blaming it on getting married soon and being busy and my daughter making run around like a lunatic but the fact is I just can't seem to stop myself from wasting time doing other things!<br />
<br />
So here is to hoping that my purchases yesterday will get me going again. I hope everyone has been well and you have been creating beauty!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861497081075554147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314621943829113072.post-74534292628628859382014-05-04T18:12:00.001-04:002014-05-04T18:12:05.640-04:00Finished ProductI forgot to upload these pics during the week, here are the two cards all finished. I used another Sassy Cheryl digi over the weekend to make a cute card when it's all together I will snap a pic of that one. I continue to struggle with lighting, I've tried inside, outside, natural light inside, Ott lights, I tried a light box but I don't ever seem to get it right. Feel free to comment with any suggestions!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend, we are still waiting for the trees to start blooming it still looks like winter here. Thanks for stopping by~<br />

Two digis colored with Copics, <a href="http://www.weestamps.com/">Wee Stamps</a> and <a href="http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/">Sassy Cheryl's</a>. Love the farmer! We planted blueberry bushes a couple weeks back in our garden area, so excited for fresh blueberries. To cold still to plant the garden we had record low temps last week. Another couple weeks and we should hopefully be good to go. This is the first garden at this house so we figured we would start off small and see how it does. Hope everyone is well and enjoying their weekend. Mark is golfing all weekend and Angelina is off at her dads so it's just me and the dog right now. Enjoy!<br /><br />Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861497081075554147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314621943829113072.post-6533913849056828252014-02-12T11:35:00.000-05:002014-02-12T11:35:13.955-05:00Snow, snow and more snowShoosh we are having quite the winter! We are supposed to be having another snow storm tomorrow, Mark and I both work for a public works department for a local municipality, he works for street services so he gets called in to plow so he has hardly been home lately! I have had to learn how to use a snow blower which doesn't make me happy lol. We have a truck with a plow on it so he's teaching me how to use that I had my first lesson last night so look out!!!!<br />
<br />
I've been doing some different crafting lately I'm trying to teach myself how to quilt. So far I've been able to stitch some fabric together and have it stay together so that's pretty good for me!!<br />
<br />
I've been working on a large card order for someone who has me make some for her a couple times a year. I did this "for fun" card this week using Whimsy Stamps "Not Fat, Fluffy" stamp by Crissy Armstrong. I am so glad she's gotten back into farm animals when she designed for High Hopes the farm critters were my favorites.<br />

I pulled out an older High Hopes stamp that is still one of my favorites. Colored with Copics. I actually managed to put this together using scraps of paper. I always have good intentions of hitting up the scrap pile but then get side tracked by all the other paper I have! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mark is feeling good his recovery is going great he actually got up and out of the house today. He will probably be exhausted tonight!<br />

Fortunately it was a one night stay and he came home yesterday. I took the week off because he's going to need some help getting around for a bit. Surgery went really well so hopefully he will feel some relief. So today while he was sleeping I got into my craft room for a bit! Made this cutie, it's a Wild Rose Studio Stamp. Colored with Copics.<br />

Today it was 70 Wednesday it's supposed to be almost 90 and Thursday maybe 65. Crazy. This was a miserable hot, muggy summer and I am so ready for it to be over. Give me sweatshirts!!

Cute digi stamp from <a href="http://weestamps.weebly.com/">Wee Stamps</a>. Colored with Copics, the paper is Doodlebug. I always forget about my twine, wanted to attach a charm to it but realized I don't have any Halloween charms! Hope everyone is good we are settling back into the school routine and dance started back up tonight. The dog knows he gets to go to dance with us and he and I sit in the car and watch horror movies. Well I watch he sleeps but he is happy to go!<br />

I think it's the hot weather. I don't like it, it makes me cranky and I think it makes me not want to do a darn thing. So it's been much cooler the last two weeks and I'm a much happier person. I'm off this week from work and today I dedicate the morning to making cards. I made this card using High Hopes "<a href="http://www.highhopesstamps.com/catalogue-pages.php?page=17&season=winter&currency=1">Bearly Swooshin</a>" and am entering it into two challenges High Hope's <a href="http://highhopesstamps.blogspot.com/">Red & Green </a>Challenge and Cute Card Thursday's <a href="http://www.cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/">Button Up</a> Challenge. I hope everyone has had a great summer, can't believe school starts next week yay!!!! Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.<br />

Sigh...I did not want to go back to work today.

Sigh...I just can't seem to get myself into my craft room. I walk by and look at all the pretty things and then go sit on the couch like a log. So I'd thought I'd share "something", "anything" lol! So this is it...my splurge purchase. I have wanted one of these dutch ovens forever and I finally treated myself. So here it is:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Isn't it pretty? Sorry it's all I've got. Let me go find the dog he's cute I will take a picture of him.<br />
<br />
Hope my fellow crafters are doing better than I am.<br />

It seems to usually happen around this time of year, I don't know if it's because it's a particularly busy time of year or what the problem is but last night I had a little pep talk with myself and made sure I had time today to get into my craft room. It's was nice to play with my markers again!<br />
<br />
This cutie is a Wild Rose stamp, colored with Copics. The paper is Bella Blvd (love them). Not a fancy card just something to get me back in the swing of things! Hope everyone is good and is enjoying a nice weekend. Hugs - missed you all!<br />

Sweetest Wee Suzi digi. I love this paper I don't even know what line it is I have had it so long but this is the last of my bits and pieces of it that I had left. Colored with Copics. I punched out a bunch of the little flowers, the white sparkly flower was actually from a Christmas set, layered it with a felt flower and button. I've had these cute colored safety pins forever and didn't really have a clue what to do with them and I saw something on Pinterest (of course lol) that had the beads on it and remembered how we used to do that and put them on our sneakers!!

Lately it seems we go right from winter to summer. So I mentioned last weekend I had been doing some different kind of crafts, I have become obsessed with felt!<br />

As per usual back picture, tried outside this time! So I made this heart ornament, I am terrible with using my sewing machine but I enjoy hand stitching these. There is so much inspiration out there I have found some awesome stuff on Pinterest. Hope you like it!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861497081075554147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314621943829113072.post-42714916692320307482013-04-20T13:42:00.002-04:002013-04-20T13:42:21.286-04:00Quiet SaturdayI didn't realize it had been so long since my last post - it's been busy! My daughter has a lovely stomach bug so she has been laying around for two days. I feel so bad for her and I'm not going to lie I'm also hoping I don't get it! So it's quiet here today, she's sleeping on and off and Mark is out working on a mower so I got to have some craft time!<br />

I used this beauty of a Wee Stamps digi. Colored with Copics, flowers are from Wild Orchid. The lace is from my gram's house, when we cleaned it out I found some of her sewing stuff and this lace was in it. Still struggling with photos, I bought another lamp and some Ott light bulbs and was basically standing on my head trying to get a clear shot. Sigh....hope everyone is having a good weekend I have some new crafts to share with you but I think I'm going to head outside to get a good picture! Will upload something later.
