I got an "Imagine for christmas and kept playing with it....but just did not like it.....I did say I would not buy it anyway because (IMHO)  it  did not make sense to have a seperate tool that printed/cut  images...Afterall..my printer does that......I never purchased the Imagine and really did not want it.....But because I was gifted it....I ended up with one... Well, I tried it out....again

I participated in the "Scrappy Style Swaps" Tag Swap.  The theme for the swap were hearts.  We had to make 2 tags and the colors were reds/pinks.  I used  Youtuber SaCrafters corrugated cardboard technique to make the window frames.  The tags were made using TH tag die....Spellbinders Dies  (hearts) and pepsi cans.  The hearts were dyed with TH Red Pepper Alcohol inks and embossed with embossing

I participated in Lia's (aka "Scrapsation) "Winter Wonderland" Charm Swap.  The theme, of course, was a winter theme.  We had to use blue, silver/greys and white.  We had to make 3 tags and they are due January 31....Of course we have a birthday this month,,,,so I made 4.  I used DCWV "Winter Magic" paper stack, TH Snowman die, a stamp heat embossed with A La Mode embossing powder, and added

I participated in Lia's ("Scrapsation") February "Colors  of Love" Charm swap @ "A Piece of My Scraps" blog.  ....We had to use pinks and reds and make three (3). One of the charms is for the February birthday girl. For the presentation I used some wooden plaques (2 different types) that I found at "The Christmas Shoppe" and altered them.  They each had a word across them..which I sanded off.....

The beginning of the year I find myself organizing and re-organizing my scraproom.....This year was a  task....and I actually got started early ...so that I had pretty much all of the organizers I needed to reorganize with for 2012.  I found some mini cube-ical organizers from Target on clearance..I purchased 4 and have found space to use three (3) of them so far. I was able to find the mini

I was commissioned to alter 16 cigar boxes.  Some had specific details that they wanted but for most many specified color.  I am down to the last 6 boxes and decided to get these off of my plate before I got too far into the new year and a few of the ladies have waited patiently.  After doing the first 10 or so ...I got bored with them.(I was making about three at a time).........and had to put

Yeah.....a challenge this was.....I went with Tim's Alternate challenge and made the ornaments/gift tags.....I did not have the stamp that Tim used so I decided to go this route....Shrinky dinks are one of my many challenges....So...I was not so happy when I saw that was Tim's challenge...BUT....I wanted to give every technique a try .....I attempted it several times (those holly leaves just

Tag 10-  I'm so proud of me...and totally Wow'd by absolutely all of Tim's creations.  This is an absolutely gorgeous tag.  The techniques used were phenomenal.....Another excellent tag Tim...... And this is my take on Tim's tag.  I did make a mistake and wiped one of the beveled acrylic pieces with some cleaner and it dulled it...So I am going to run out to M's today and see if I can find

And this is my rendition of his tag.......This was a challenge ....and I had a great time making it.....Gotta get that reflection stamp....This would have been less work as I had to use several stamps to make this tag.....But.

I started this project at a meetup that I went to with a few SB buddies a couple of weeks ago.  I started with a 8x8 canvas, chipboard pieces and metal art tools.....The metal is  metal duct tape  from a hardware store cut in strips and pieces.  I also used 1/4" aluminum tape by Inksentials.  Another hardware product I used was drywall mesh.......(also from the hardware store or a wallyworld.....

Over at the Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack I am participating in a Art Journal challenge on one of the forums. Each week .......a "prompt" is listed and you create your journal page based  on your interpretation of the prompt.  This week the prompt is "Paint".  Well, The intro of the Art Journal  was making a journal.  I did not make a journal ...but did alter a journal that I though would serve the

I actually had to purchase my "Father's  Day"cards  because I procrastinated  and waited until the last minute to make them...And then I did not feel like making them......So this morning I went on a " Father's Day" Blog Hop sponsored by the Scrap Shack Design Team....and was inspired to make a card.  The card I made is a simple one  ....BUT.....I no longer feel guilty about going the "Hallmark"

I finally completed the challenge that Kathy at Paper Phenomenon posted a few weeks ago.  I was not a participant in the swap ...but I did do the challenge.  The challenge was to alter the box for a mini she made. I made the template for the mini and decided I wanted to also alter the box......This was a fun challenge once I figured the paper collection I was going to use.......Thanks Kathy....
