Vintage Vagabond

 

Good Morning!

Today I wanted to share a card I made inspired by this week's Tuesday Trigger.

I had a lot of fun masking and stamping on this card.

 

 

Tuesday Trigger: Vintage Vagabond

 

 

 

Ryan will be home in a few hours from another business trip.

Can't wait!

Have a wonderful day.

Monday Mood Board #14

 

Happy Friday!

 

 

I love Wplus9's Quilt Cuts Dies.  I inked up each square of cardstock, cut it with the quilt cuts die and then played around with the pieces for a long time.  I came up with a least 9 cool patterns that you could create with this one die alone!  In the end I opted for this design.

Friday Favorites {FIF #121}

Ombre' Glitter Nails

 

So fun and easy to do!

I polished my nails with a clear base coat.  Poured on the Martha Stewart glitter and let it dry.  Follow with a good clear top coat and you're done.  I just did them yesterday, so I don't yet know how well it will hold up.  I can't wait to try in pink to red and yellow to orange!

 

Chocolove

 

They say dark chocolate is good for you right? 

I've been taking a few squares of this with me in my lunch.  Such a satisfying treat!

 

Friday Inspiration File #121

 

Beautiful new projects have been added to the file!

 

Scor-Tape from Becky's Craft room

 

Ordered 5 rolls of 1/4 inch Scor-tape from Becky's Craft Room on Ebay. 

 Fast and free shipping.  I think I'll be good for awhile now...maybe!

 

Have a great weekend!

 

 

 

Painted Hearts

 

To create my hearts I placed the stencil onto cardstock and dabbed on colors randomly letting them mix in spots.  After removing the stencil I turned it over and pressed the paint that was on top of the stencil onto another piece of cardstock to get the positive imprint. After the paints dried I die cut them with WP9 Hearts and added some doodling on and behind the hearts.

 

 

 

Cloud9 Blog Hop

 

This is the last Cloud9 challenge.  I'm sad to see it go, but there is plenty of Wplus9 inspiration still to be had with Dawn's Monday Mood Board challenges!

 

Have a great day!

I Gave My Husband A Hammer

 

Have you ever read the children's book If You Give A Mouse A Cookie?

If you haven't, it's a story (a series of stories really) that starts with one action setting off a chain of events.  That's kind of what happened to me when I gave my husband a hammer!

 

 

I had purchased a rod and bucket system that is mounted on the wall for storage in my craft room from Ikea.  Ryan got around to putting it up for me on Saturday.  I was there to assist:)  He says, "Where's that hammer you keep in here?"  I handed it to him and started thinking about how I hadn't used it in a long time.  I used to use it all of the time to set eyelets and things.  That set off the chain of events that had me pulling out more old products that I hadn't used in a long time like my Metallic Rub Ons. Both the letters and pocket are clear heat embossed and then rubbed with the metallic rub ons.  It creates a really neat effect. 

 

 

Here you can see the little buckets above my desk.  They hold things like markers, watercolor pencils, paint brushes, and my gelatos.
