Kraft Love And Puffy Critters

Tomorrow is going to be snow day 4 here. Never in my life have I seen cold like this. I spent the day taking pics of backyard wildlife and crafting. The birds and squirrel are so cute all puffed up. I have been leaving food and water out for them because I feel sorry for them.

I really love Kraft paper. I came up with some supplies using Kraft paper and added them to my shop. I made this collage using some of the supplies I'm now offering.

I'm going for a more clean, cohesive look for my shop. I changed my logo and I really like it.Maybe I will get a bunch more done while I'm stuck at home..again. Thanks for stopping by!

Something Yummy

I made this card for The Pink Stampers Challenge "Something Yummy". The strawberry is cut from Indie Art Cricut Cartridge. I have been away from blogland for a while because I hurt my back and my kiddo was sick. I had surgery a few years ago for my back. I NEVER take chances with it anymore. If it starts hurting I stop EVERYTHING until it gets better. Thank goodness everyone is better now. Don't forget about the Valentine give away tomorrow! If your having problems following me just send me an e-mail and I will see what I can do. I CAN'T believe half the country is covered in snow and our temps are in the mid 70's. Crazy!

Sorry!

I've been an awful blogger! I also owe a bunch of blog visits and e-mails. I'm sorry! I have been sick, my kiddo has been sick, now my hubby. We have had the worst cold. I just thought I would pop in and apologize and show you the Autumn banner I will be listing (when I get a little energy back) in my shop. Thank you all for the sweet e-mails and comments about being in BHG!

Halloween Delights And Cake

I just wanted you to know my shop is bursting at the seems with Halloween delights. I've decided to be wild and get my Halloween decor out in September. I just love it that much! Back to work. Tomorrow is my Keegan's birthday party. I'm making a Super Mario cake. I'll show you pics only if it turns out well. I'm crossing my fingers. Have a great weekend.

Autumn Blessings Flip Book

This is the project I am doing for High Cotton Art Camp. I will be adding even more pictures soon!

Autumn Blessings Flip Book

Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love to slow down and count my blessings when the leaves start to turn glorious colors, families come together to bake and cook, and the garden offers its bounty. Come count your blessings with me and make this Autumn flip book and holder. The book has many layers of new and vintage ribbons, papers, gems, glitter, and embellishments. It will have places for you to journal what your thankful for, record your favorite fall memories, and add autumn pictures. You will also make a Plexiglas holder that can adorn your home year around. The holder will have antique mother of pearl buttons, real silver glitter, and vintage lace. In the class you will learn many techniques you need for that vintage distressed look. All the supplies are include. You can however, bring Fall stamps (rubber or acrylic), photos, and any little collected treasures you might want to add. So come on over and creatively put your blessings to paper to remember what your thankful for.

Honeycomb Tutorial

Nothing makes me think of a Vintage Valentine than honeycomb paper. Honeycomb hearts are just the sweetest. Here is a tutorial on how to make one. They can be any size or color. You can use the same technique and make any shape of honeycomb. Just think of all the possibilities!
Supplies:
Cardstock
Tissue paper
Glue stick
Scissors, punch, or paper shape cutter

I used my Cuttlebug and my Spellbinder Nestabilities Hearts to cut the hearts out. You could hand cut them also. You need one cardstock heart and 9 tissue paper hearts. Crease the cardstock heart by folding it in half.

Glue the first tissue heart onto the cardstock heart.
I have marked the heart using A and B. You will NOT do this. I did it for demonstration purpose

Put a dot of glue where each A would be. Press a tissue heart to each one.
On top of that heart put a dot of glue where each B would be. Press another tissue heart to that.
Repeat this process alternating between A and B. Use 8 tissue hearts.

Cut the ninth heart in half. Glue fully onto right side. Add glue to left side and fold heart pressing together.
Unfold and you should have a honeycomb heart!
