Back to School!

I was able to get time in to make this little treat for my son's 5ht grade teacher!  You know how they are always begging for pencils for the kids well here is a cute idea to start the year.
This is a printed design that I adhered to a soup can

These are the pencils with "teacher" stickers to label them so they get returned to the teachers desk when she loans them out.  You can do this with white board markers or pens, sharpies and highlighters too!  This would also make a great teach Christmas gift.

Stamp'in Up

I started out as box store scrapbooker, when I was introduced to Close to My Heart I thought my life will never be the same!  Then I discovered Stamp'in Up and oh my has my life changed again!  I love both companies, but for the card crafter I like Stamp'in Up a little better, I would however love to see them make clear polymer stamps, they are easier to work with!  On to the card front this is what Taylor and I made during the CKC vendor fair where we met some wonderful ladies!

I am thinking these are cute but, the would be even better as Christmas cards with some blues and purples, this set reminds me of snow flakes.  I love the shimmer on the card, you can not see it well but, we crumpled up cello and clipped it with a office clip, then dipped it in paint (gold) them dabbed it around LOVE this new technique!

CKC-Nashville Creations

Ok so I know it has been FOREVER since I posted, but I had my very first experience at CKC!  I only had time to go to the vendor fair this year, but I got lots of new ideas!  Here are some of the things I made!







I love everything, I could have spent millions, however my husband has me on a tight budget!  Since I NEVER make any money on my crafts I always do everything for everyone just because I like to!  However I am still selling the bottle cap necklaces and now the glass pendents, message me if you are interested, I can make them with any image!
