Logo For My New Store

All I can say is I'm exhausted already and it's still over a month before we can even think about opening but I do get to go to CHA as a buyer which I'm excited about doing.

LOVE IS ALL AROUND!!

Front of invitation with belly band and lined envelope

Hello To All My Long Lost Blog Friends,

If you think I've been away from the blogging world for a while - this is why. I've designed and created my  son and his fiance, Kristen's wedding invitations.  My task was to incorporate a hydrangea theme with pink, coffee brown and ivory with gold accents.  I'm happy

with how they turned out and I'm glad to say they loved them too.

Stamp:  Hearfelt Creations Hydrangea

Copic Colors:  R83 R85 RV11

Embossed with fine gold powder.

All done on Neenah 80lb Classic Natural White Linen paper printed with an HP Color Laser Jet CP2025.  Bazzil card stock.

Love is all around,
Micki

Our First Laughing Stampers Tag Workshop

My friend Mary started a new group called the "Laughing Stampers" and we meet at least once a week at a local church. It is an excellent facility that has every amenity that a group of stampers need. Today, we had our first tag workshop and I was in charge of the designing the first tag. This is it. I used one of the techniques in the 12 tags of Christmas on the read heart in the center. The heart was inked with Fired Brick Distress Ink and then covered in a thick layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint. We had a 10 people at the workshop and we did what we were supposed to do......LAUGH!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Here is my lastest organizational project. 

I want to make a notebook of my stamp collection but I didn't want to have to stamp and clean
every stamp so I scanned them all into the computer with my flatbed scanner.  I'm going to print
out the pictures and organize them into a notebook.

Here is a slide show of my current stamp collection as of today....I'm sure it will change by the end of
 the week...hehehehe

Cupcakes and Baseball

We frequent a local bakery here in Anderson called the Sweetery.  They make the most delicious sandwiches and the cakes are on another plane altogether.  I have one in my refrigerator calling out my name right now.....Micki.....Micki....
Anyway, they are really nice to us there and they asked if Sam would like tickets to the Atlanta Braves -Florida Marlins game.  Well she couldn't get those words out of her mouth fast enough for him tosay Yes Yes I'll take them, please.

I made this card to say a quick thank you for giving my husband and son such a wonderful evening at Turner Field. 

It is on kraft card stock.  The green baseball field was cut on the Cricut from Everyday Paper Dolls.  The cupcakes are colored with Copics and they came from the Hero Arts Cupcakes.  The bat, flaming ball and player are all from Fiskars Batter Up Clear Stamps and colored with Copics.   All edges were distressed with TH Frayed Burlap.  The fence is MS Punch.

Thank you Team Sweetery for such a wonderful treat.

Well, well, well......finally

Well, well, well....finally I've gotten back to posting on my blog and back into the studio.

I downloaded this cat silhoutte SVG file because it looks just like my cat, Henry.  Used the Martha Stewart punch as the creepy walking surface.  Black bling from Mike's fits perfectly on the DCWV background paper.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
