Tim Holts idea-ology Sanding grip

I know I am usually a day late and a dollar short on most crafting products and ideas.  Because, being the thrifty person I am, I never get anything till evryone else has them and they are clearancing them out to make room for something new.  But I finally gave in and got Tims sanding grip and I have got to tell you it is one of my go to staples in my crafting supplies.  Dont know how I ever got along without it.
I am working on several things right now but batteries are low in camers so am recharging it.  Soon as it is up and running will post some pictures. 

New techinque

Here is my take on a card and techique shown on pinkbydesign.

Sorry but the total effect of her techinque doesnt show up in my picture.  But I can promise you it makes for a beautiful card.  Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

Coltens 4th Birthday

This is the card and tags I made for Grandson Colten for his 4th birthday.  He is a big bull rider fan.  His motto is "Cowboy Up".

My kids are so good to me.

My kids are so good to me.  Look at the new snow plow they got me this winter to deal with the blizzard we just had.

Envelope to go with Witch Card

Here is the envelope I made to mail my witch cards in.  Took a parchment colored envelope and chalked a bat on the front and then chalked the edges.  Set the chalk with hairspray.  This is for Karlee's challenge on Pink Stamper to use an envelope in creation.

Witches in the Air

Today as I was happily sitting in front of my computer, I was attacked by spirits.  Look what happened before Krabby Kat came to my rescue.

Chris and Colten

I was looking for a picture and came across this one.  Just had to include it in my blog.  Colten is laying on his daddy and every time he turns his head, Colten licks his finger and sticks it in his ear.
