Hi Everyone,
   Just wanted to share this.  I made this for a coworker of mine who just had her 1st baby! I have ALL boys, so I enjoyed making this for her.  I don't get a chance to make girlie l.o. very often.

The l.o. is adhered to a canvas so she can hang it up or put on a shelf to show it off. She can also add her own pics or write a little something for her.
Just thought I'd share :0)

Happy Hauntings

Have you ever had a long, long day? Feeling stressed and frustrated? .........AND then you walk into a Michael's or Joanns and you take in the sweet smell of glue and paper and paint and just like that.... you feel so much BETTER??? Seriously, that was me last night when I went out to Michaels.  By the time I came home, I was ready to take on the boys' homework!!

OK then, today I finished my Halloween card for a few more challenges.  I enjoyed this one because I used the embossing technique on the gate. I watched Momo's ustream video the other day on Embossing and I just had to try it! Lots of fun doing it. Thanks Momo (again).

So here it is.  Hope you like it.

I just love the way the gate come out nice and shiny!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

Well this morning I was so excited to see what new challenges were starting today!!  I was so not disappointed 8)   Yay so excited.  So this is what I made today...

I have to say I was a little nervous about working with a digi stamp because I had NEVER done one before :( 

I did try using copic markers, but wasn't coming out to well.  Needless to say I need to practice, practice, practice.  I did use some chalk colors and colored pencils instead.

So if anyone has any helpful hints or know of some great tutorials using the markers and stamps, please let me know!!
