Finally Pictures of my Office/Scrap Room!

I am ever so lucky to have had to move to an apartment from my huge duplex with full basement (which had my scrappy stuff in) (inserted sarcasm here) Nonetheless, I found a super sweet deal on a office space, so set up shop there. I just have to make enough money per month either via part time work, or by selling items made.

I love my space, its quiet and open, so hoping I can keep it!

Copic Markers Class at LSS

Last night I attended a class for the ever so popular copic markers. I must say, IM HOOOOOOOOOKED!!!

Here are two of the finished products we did in class!

I found a great website that sells them about 2.00 cheaper per marker than the store I took the class from, $4.15 instead of $6.99.

Check them out HERE!

(Note, I did order them today and got an order shipped email, not sure how fast they ship, but since I spent over 60.00, got free USPS shipping.) Will update as soon as I get them!

Mothers Day Gift 2 of 2

Since I have already given my mom a folded card, had to think of something new for her! Made this all from scratch, the frame was on sale, 50 percent off at Micheals I think, so maybe 4 bucks, painted it white, and added bling and photos! LOVE IT! She has not seen this yet, she and I both not felt the greatest on Mothers Day, so I need to get over to get this to her yet this week.. I know she will love it!

Mothers Day Gift 1 of 2

I absoultley adore these fold cards from Creative Memories. I have heard they are being discontinued so quite bummed, but with a bit of pictures and a bit of bling, they make the CUTEST mother days cards for Rockys mom! Of course it was pics of the girls, but she LOVED it! This is the start, I will have to get the other pics of the camera later! :)

Coaster Calender... Teacher Gift # 2

For my oldest daughters teacher, (fourth grade) I found this CUTE coaster set at the Local Scrapbooking store, Memory Bound. I ran into a friend while there, (LOVE YA Michelle) and she gave me a GREAT idea for what to do with them.. SO I did! Enjoy!!

Crayon Wreath, HUGE Success !

I loved making this one, and the giving it was even better. I gave this to my youngest daughter PK teacher, and being today is going to be her last day there, due to me accepting a new job, I wanted to make the goodbye special.

Anyhow, heres the picture...

For this project I used the following:

• 8" wooden embroidery hoop
• 12" wooden embroidery hoop
• a roll of any type of ribbon
• at least 70+ crayons
• several tpes of wooden decor, in this case a large apple, school buss and several small decals, little kids, pencil book and then the alphabet set.
• I also got from the dollar tree a chalkboard.

My directions;

1. Cut the chalkboard to 8" round.
2. Remove the metal screws from the hoops and hot glue them back together
3. Take Crayons and hot glue them label side facing the same way, to both the 8 inch and 12 inch hoops. Make sure to pack them in pretty tight, I probably could have used more crayons in mine... Make sure that smaller hoop fits inside larger hoop evenly
4. After gluing them all down, LET IT DRY! :)
5. Run a slip knot braid throughout the crayons to add color. I did an over/under dealio.. not sure if I can describe it..
6. I made sure it was all dry and fixed nice, then began adding the wooden pieces as you see.
7. I then took the chalkboard, and glued it to the backside of the 8" hoop. Added some more wooden deco and called it done...
8. You can use chalk to write on the chalkboard as well, and I did just write WELCOME on this one. Let the teacher know she can change it to however she wants.
