Michelle Perkett "Winter"

This beautiful stamp is by the wonderful Michelle Perkett....I call her
"The Snow Queen" I have been wanting to color an image this way for sometime and this stamp was the perfect one...I used lots and lots of glitter and white flock..I only used green and blue markers but there were quite a few different colors as you can see. All the paper was stuff I had in my stash,can't remember were it all came from. I hope you like her. Im also using her for the sketch challenge over at Michelle Perkett Studio blog.Here
Have a great day crafting

Christmas Ornaments

Hello Everyone

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and filled there bellies to their hearts content. I know that I did and I love being around family....My favorite thing to do!!!!!!!

Well I had some time off from work and got to play a little........I wanted to share some of the ornaments I made ...... These are what I came up with ......The blues ones are made from double sided wrapping paper I bought at Costco and white cardstock that I cut into strips and I used one of Martha Stewart's edge punches. The other one is doubleside DP paper from K and company . I found the snowflake instructions on YouTube. The white ornament design is from Beeca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace .com...You need to check out her site she is one incredible artist and she has a tutorial on how to make these ornaments.

I hope you enjoy them...Im going to use them as embellies on my Christmas presents

Well I'm glad to let everyone know that I have been cancer free now for over 2 years and with God willing ...I will be this way for a long time to come. I credit my recovery to my faith and my loving family.

I have so many friends that have help me through this dark time in my life and without them life would have been very sad and lonely



Well NOW I want this to be a place for me to share the things that I like to create.
And to connect with friends and new found friends
