Good Monday Morning everyone.  Hope you had a great weekend.  I just wanted you to know that I am working on several projects at this time.  I'm trying to finish up the beaded bracelets I've been making for my family, working on altered art boxes, and a special scrapbook page for my sister.  I will be posting these as soon as they are done, probably the end of the week some of it will done. Also, the friend I made a card for, asked if I would make her another card.  She would like a card with a Hockey player for her Grandson's Birthday.  He's an adult and plays hockey.  So that will be a fun one to make.  I'm waiting for a stamp I ordered so it will be a while before I post that one.  Hope your week goes well.  Thanks for checking in!

Birthday Card for my Brother

Friendship Card

I made this card for a friend and wrote a personalized poem inside for her.  The scroll type die is from HFC and I used 3D Stamp Paint on it.  The flower and leaves are also HFC but I'm not sure which flower I used.  The vintage lady is a stamp I bought in Sturgion Bay and colored with copic markers.  The tricycle is from an online store. and rocks were glued with E6000.  A little Prill from the center of the flower fell between the spokes of the tricycle.  LOL  I took it out before I gave it to her.  Ha Ha Ha

Birthday Card for Sister-In-Law

All HFC products.  I made this from seeing it on their gallery page.  One of the design team members made the original one.  You can view HFC's gallery through their website at www.heartfeltcreations.us

Beads

Paper Beads rolled with a tool I got from Etsy.  Then dipped them 5 times in a minwax water based polycrylic protective finish.  Added spacers to make a bracelet.

Home Decor

This is a wall plaque that I made a while back.  I bought the square block with the 9 tiles from Walmart and painted the base black and the tiles white.  Between the tiles you can see some of the black background of the base.  That gives the appearance if the tiles being divided.  ;-)  The top row from left to right...I used pinking shears to cut a strip of fabric.  Then using 3" wide score tape, I punched out a circle.  Peeled one side off so it would be sticky and then took the fabric strip starting on the outer part of the flower, puckering it and wrapping it in a continuous circle until I reached the middle of the flower. Then I used a fabric brad for the center of the flower.
The 2nd picture is just bon appetit stamped in 3 different colors.
The 3rd picture of grapes.  1/2" circle punch, purple paper and a small half-moon mark with a black marker.  The leafs were free handed with pinking shears.  I used a score tool to make veins in the leaves and then crumbled the leaves for more dimension.  Thin strips of brown paper run through the crimper gave more texture for the leaves.
2nd Row
Heavy duty tin foil adhered to cardstock and run through a Stampin Up embossing folder.
Stamped image of a Chef from Stampin Up and colored with copic markers.
The double sided paper was a scrap and I stamped a worded background stamp on it.  Distressed the edges and rolled back one corner.
The last row.  A stamped flower on thin cork and hand cut it out.  Used a marker to deltail it.  Added a button and twine.  The middle was a Stampin Up Stamp and the last tile I drew horizontal and vertical lines and colored some of the mini squares black.
Added a hanger to the back and put it on my kitchen wall.

Valentine Card A friend had me make for her.

The front of the card has flowers from Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood Collection.  Stamps and Dies.  Also the word LOVE is from that set too.  You can learn to make the flowers by watching Emma Lou's video on Flowering Dogwood Flowers at www.heartfeltcreations.us  The frame around the picture is from Spellbiners (I cut it in half), the ticket is from Cricut/Cuttlebug and the wine glasses is a hand punch from Fiskars.  On page two, everything is  HFC,  I heat embossed a background stamp from the Heartfelt Love Collection and the dove and flowers with branch are from the Flowering Dogwood collection.
