Swap with Robyn

Hey Friends,

I received my first goodies from a Swap I did with Robyn Cox.  We are members of Shoppers Without Borders at Your Paper Pantry.  Click on the badge on my sidebar if you are interested in this fun group.  I decided to open the package, do a video of what was inside and then create something using those items...   Robyn sent me some very nice items so check out the video to see them all and as usual, I had cat help while videoing the goodies.....And it's always William...that Video-Feline!!
She sent me this beautiful light yellow, sparkly lace.










Also, there was this beautiful teal and yellow bling by Basic Grey called Opaline.  I love Basic Grey...their one of my favorite companies...  How did she know that??
















 
Paper is from K & Company Basic K 
Top Note Shape cut from SCAL on the Cricut
Swirly Scallop shape is from the Storybook Cartridge
Sentiment is TPC Studio Greetings Clear Stamp
Ink is Distress Ink Broken China
Camera - Canon 5D
Flash - 580EXII


Check out the video of the Swap items posted above...


I was supposed to take  Copic class last night...drove for 1.5 hours just to find out that they had been trying
to call me all day to tell me it was canceled.  But all was not wasted, they gave me a discount at the store so I bought 5 Copic markers, 4 bottles of Stickles and some embellishments...  Had fun any way...

Have a good day and thanks for stopping by my blog!!!

Splurge, Enjoy , Smile

Haven't made a post in a while...but I finished this card just for fun.  I used the acrylic insert from a Tim Holtz swivel clasp package, wove the ribbon in and out and tied on the ribbon.  DP is DCWV Glitter Stack...Sentiment is KI Memories Verbology Stamps.  Used Corner Chomper to round the corners.. Embellies are Prima flowers and antique buttons.


Have a great day and thanks for visiting my blog.

Pick of the Litter..................

Just finished going through, pulling apart, untwisting, untangling the broken jewelry that I bought last week.  There was some real finds in there.  Also, there is a video in the works of the best "jewels"  but  it won't be done until the next few days.  I gotta edit that thing because....well let's just say the videographer wasn't a very good director....(ME)
I've been thinking every day that I need to make a card but I just couldn't get in the mood....I could organize the craft area but I just didn't have any mojo....  I guess it came back tonight because i got out my new stamps, trimmed them up and started stamping......




I used to stamp Movable Parts 101 Fluffy Cats Big
Aidirondack Butterscotch and Slate Ink
Georgia Pacific Cs to stamp on
Ribbon and stickers from stash
Design Paper is from DCWV "The Glitter Stack"

{{{and by BTW...I fixed that ribbon "problem" after I took the picture}}}...


It was a quick card and very fun to use those stamps.  Hope you enjoy it...

Thanks for stopping by my blog ,
