I've rearranged!!!

And now I go nuts because I have NO IDEA where I put stuff away!! Does that ever happen to you? You know where something is when it's all an artsy mess...but then when you "clean up" or rearrange you drive yourself nuts and speaking to yourself...which BTW my kids laugh about when they catch me asking myself..."Where did I put _____?"...LOL! I kind of have an idea NOW where things are since I rearranged about 2 weeks ago...but I still catch myself wondering where for instance my CROP-A-DILE IS!!!! I seem to always look where it was...but now it's rooming with the Cuttlebug...lol. Here is a look into my craft room...not for the faint of heart!!!! LOL! BTW...I'm much more organized now that I've reduced stamp sets from SU and have taken a like in unmounteds! SO MUCH MORE ROOM FOR SO MUCH MORE STUFF! HA HA HA!

Here is my basic work station and where I sit to write to you wonderful people...lol.

Here it is again...the bottom crate holds my CS and DP/PP...trust me, it's not this neat anymore!

This large crate in blue hides other stuff I use less often AND also hides my envelopes I use when I sell stuff. The top right crate now hold scraps in order...colored CS in front, white or vanilla CS in back for stamping, and middle the DP. The crate to the left holds other vendor mounted stamps along with a small Tupperware box with unmounteds without cling and pink rubbers.

Thanks for being brave enough to look! LOL! OK...NOW GET OUT OF MY CRAFT ROOM!!!! Nothing more to see...keep it movin'!!! Rubberneckers! LMBO!

Monday's TLC Cootie Catcher

I'm sure many of you remember this little "game" back in the days...well, I do! LOL! This was the challenge on SCS for Monday's to try a new technique. It's funny because I had forgotten how to fold these little things...and even with worded instructions...I couldn't do it! SO, I went to my reliable 11 year old LV! LOL! It's funny how some of these things we did as kids are still passed on! Isn't it fun how I used the handcrafted stamp to go with the fact that it was made by hand and whatever is being created with the embellishments IS IN FACT being created by hand as well? LOL! Anywho...this was my version since I didn't have candies...lol. I made it small enough to sit on a small crafting table, but large enough to hold embellishments such as I have added here...brads, eyelets, flatback rhinestones, and flowers. I'll be doing a step by step instructions on how to make these since I'm more of a visual learner...I know there are more of you out there! LOL! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

CS: Transparency, GGuava, & White non SU

Ink: GGuava, WWasabi, & BBlack

Stamps: Spiral Bouquet & SU's "Handcrafted" stamp

Embellishements: in pockets-brads, eyelets, flatback rhinestones, & flowers

Others: scalloped punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, sucker stick, & gardeners tape

Here is my beautiful paper "folder"! Thanks for the help little momma! MUAH!

Another panties card!

This card I made for an old friend from High School that saw my panties card on MySpace and liked it. Of course me being me...I said I'd love to make her one...so here it is! TFL!

Supplies:

CS: Creme non SU and Red Bazzill Bling

Ink: BBlack

Stamps: Meet Me At The Cafe from MFT (inside sentiment "Thanks, for making me smile" from Small Sayings SU)

Post UPDATE:

I emailed my friend a picture of her panties and thought they would look better with the trim like in my previous panties card...so here is what I came up with since I couldn't find the black trim I wanted to use! Much better, right? I added thin black satin ribbon and a jeweled brad from Deja Views~Global Views.

Happy Birthday To ME!!!

Well...here are a few more cards I received yesterday. I feel so loved and special when I'm remembered!

This card was sent to me by Nic. This card is stunning with the embossing resist technique! Thanks so much Nic...I love it!

This next card was from Joani's WONDERFUL and oh so pretty DD Dani! I feel very honored to have received this card from her because according to Joani...she doesn't just sit and stamp for just anyone....awwwww!!! I'll treasure it for ever! Thanks Dani!

Last and of course not least...this card was sent to me by a dear and fellow crafting friend...Crystal Johnson. She's a member of a group I belong to that Joani manages. Thanks a bunch for thinking of me Crystal!
