Psssssstttttt! I Have NEWS.

Good Morning, my friends.  Today is a long weekend for many of us and the "unofficial" end to Summer.  Tomorrow starts back to school and routines that have been lax all Summer are back in place.  Busy times as all the programs resume. I like Fall as the leaves change and a crispness comes into the air.  I enjoy taking long walks, the foods of harvest and the smell of Autumn.

I have some AMAZING crafty news to share with you today.  For the month of September, starting on Wednesday, I am going to be a guest designer for one of my favourite stamp companies, Kraftin' Kimmie.  I am really excited to be sharing with you the Wonderful Wednesday Challenges, the Saturday weekly themed challenges and of course, the sneak peeks and blog hop/release of the September stamps.

In October, I will be permanently joining a new design team.  It is a weekly challenge blog that I discovered a little while ago and I hope you will check it out and join the challenges at Little Red Wagon.  I personally am looking forward to sharing my creations with you and getting to know the girlfriends on the team.  

On a personal note, as some of you know, my son has moved to British Columbia for work.  For my non-Canadian friends that is another province in our country but it is approximately 3,000 miles from here.  The country of Canada is a large one.  His family has been here and now they are going to join them.  I will miss my son, daughter-in-law and my two grandchildren immensely but am looking forward to visiting in the near future.  I will leave you with a recent picture of my grandbabies with my hubby and I. 

Thanks for coming by and letting me share all of my news with you.  Have a wonderful day!!!

PDE Linky Party #17 ~ Mini Monsters

Good Morning my friends and welcome to the midway point of the PDE Linky Party involving metal dies or punches. Most of the projects I make involve at least some kind of metal die so this was a fairly easy challenge for me.  I am looking forward to seeing all of the projects you make.  You have until Monday, September 1st to add it to the site.

I made a set of three 3" x 3"  note cards using two types of metal dies.  I used my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board to make the matching envelopes for them.

Good Morning and welcome to the midway point for the Kids Theme at PDE Linky Party.  I am looking forward to seeing all of  the great projects you are going to create this week.

I have a special card to share today and I am happy to say that I am ahead of the game for once because of the theme of this linky party. This card is for my grandson who turns 2 on September 7th.  I can not believe he will be two already and will be over 3,000 miles away from me for his birthday.  Guess I will have to get used to that and be on the ball so that I can send all of the cards for special occasions in the mail.

PDE Linky Party #14 ~ Tags

Good morning crafty friends and welcome to another mid-way point of the two week challenge at PDE Linky Party.  You have one week left to show us your projects of either a tag or adding a tag to your creation.  Tags come in all shapes and sizes and I look forward to seeing yours.

The tag I have to show you is a new to me technique that I tried.  In April at Scrapfest I bought myself some Tim Holtz mini distress inks and have been wanting to try them out.  I started with a white tag and inked it up with Christmas colours.  This process was messy and I just played with the ink and water until I got a look I liked.  I then let it dry and embossed the stamps, added the poinsettia die and the ribbons.  Voila, one tag done for a gift :)

 

A closer look at the embossing and die cut detail:

RECIPE:

Tag ~ Recollections (3" x 6")

Tim Holtz Mini Distress Inks ~ Mowed Lawn, Brick Red

Stamps ~ Frog's Whiskers (Poinsettia), Hero Arts (Sentiment)

Versamark Stamp Pad

Stampendous Embossing Powder ~ White

Spellbinders ~ Nestabilities Layered Poinsettia Die

Jewels ~ Recollections

Ribbons/Fibers ~ "Use It Up" Inventory

I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

Inky Chicks Challenge #33  ~ Christmas in July

Quirky Craft Challenge #14 ~ Christmas in July with Die Cuts/Punches

Robyn's Fetish Challenge #220 ~ Christmas in July

The Glory of Christmas Challenge #37 ~ Anything Goes as Long as its Christmas

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a wonderful day and I hope to see your tags at the Linky Party HERE!!!! 

Until next time, keep crafting.
