Sunshine vs Crafting

Evening folks :) From here on in I think I'm going to consider myself a seasonal blogger. Once the beautiful weather started, I swear I heard my craft room sniffling...LOL I'm actually really busy crafting. I swear. Birthdays and Baby Showers. Communions and Weddings. But with the hubby taking vacation days, I figured prepare things to plop down in front of the T.V and at least stay in the same room with him! XD Anyway, this is one of my randoms. I don't use negative cuts like, ever so this was new for me and I dig it :)

Well, since my last post I mentioned I wouldn't wait 3 months to post again so here I am! Soooooo much has been happening these days. My P.I.C.C and I had a craft show in March, Lia's Birthday and Party during Easter weekend and of course Easter lunches and dinners!

Now for the next string of crazy to begin! Lia's communion, 2 Birthday parties, another communion and my sisters up-and-coming baby shower which will fall in the same month as Emma's 4th Birthday......ummmmm.....I'm taking applications from anyone willing to be my cardboard cutout for a day! LOL

I've managed to get some cards photographed before they were sold at the show and here's a bunch that I cased from the Hero Arts blog (created by Sally). I loved the way they turned out :))

Stay tuned for randoms of Lia's 8th Birthday Partay! Ciao Ciao!

It's been awhile...

Has it really been 3 months since my last post????? Oh my.

Well, since then my P.I.C.C and I have had our yearly Christmas Craft show and working overtime for another show for the end of March. So, needless to say, things have been busy busy busy!

We have never done a craft show in the spring so the criteria changes. More Easter cards, Mother's/Father's Day, Wedding, Communion, and to top it all off, this show is for Breast Cancer Awareness so OODLES of think pink type cards, get wells and life journal sets.......
Anyone have an extra 24hours of their day to spare???? LOL

Anyhoo, Today's post is 100% inspired by an artist named Sarah J. Moerman featured in this months PaperCrafts Magazine (Pg. 69). I LOVED the color combinations and style of her tags that I had to create them. I added a few extras and improvised in the choice of Die Cutting Machine. She used Silhouette and I used The Gyspy/Cricut :)
(Weather is really gloomy today :( Sorry bout the gloomy pics!)


Hope I did Sarah justice!
