Just had to have some Bunny Luv :)

Isn't he just the sweetest! I saw this stamp from Stampendous called "Bunny Luv" and I just had to have him. He reminded me of my sweet grandson and his love of hugs. I also used the stamp "Have I told you" also from Stampendous and paired it with the ink colors Memento Tuxedo Black and Distress Ink- Tea Dye.  For my paper choice I went with pieces I already had in my stash, Stampin Up and My Mind's Eye.



For my colors I chose the Copics medium colors - E21,E23,W3,W5,E00,E01,R12,R14
For the from and other pieces on the card I used Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles and MFT Pierced Square STAX.

Sometimes you look at a card and know that it needs a little extra. I used Mono-Multi glue, some ribbon and gems from my personal collection. 

So there you have it fellow crafters! Now you have all the info and links to make this sweet bunny for yourself.


Questions For All

Hi Everyone,
Today I have some questions to ask you. I'm trying to put together a Copic collection that doesn't require me to bring all 360 something of them when I leave my house. Is there a basic group for each color? I would be very interested to hear your suggestions.

Also how do you organize your blog posts that you've already posted? Do you have a paper copy in a binder or just put them in a folder on your computer. I would like to read my old post sometimes as I hope they will give me more ideas for new ones.

When I post a card that I have made would you like me to include the supplies that I used?  If I see a card on another site and like it I like to see what was used. Your feed back would really help me in all these areas.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to here from you.
Until next time

Hi Everyone,
Well we made it through Monday, so the rest of the week should be much better.

I thought I'd share some of my favorite websites that I go to almost daily. KWERNERDESIGNS is probably one of my top favorite. Another one is prairiepaperandink. They always have videos so when I get stuck I just watch them. Then theres just4funcrafts. I like to follow Jennifer's Color of the Day. She works with Copics and you know there is always some new.

Hopefully you will stop by these sites. If you have any that you would like to share I would love to know about them. Until next time.

Busy Day

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a nice weekend. Rumor has it that here in Massachusetts we are do for another polar vortex. It's suppose to get real cold. So that's why today was so busy for me. I was out of the house by 9am and got back at 3pm.  My feet are killing me! I hate to wear shoes but when your out in stores you have no choice. Now I can spend the rest of the week playing with my new stuff I got at Big Lots. Oh yea! Laundry too. Put a load in and play till the buzzer goes off.

Anyway I was watching some videos and came across this one where the girl said to go to Big Lots.
She showed all kinds of stuff she got there so I thought I would check it out. Well 2 hours later and 60.00 worth of stuff she was right. I made myself comfortable on the floor and took each peg/hook one at a time. I couldn't believe all the stuff I got. When my girlfriends and I get together we always have little things for each other. I spent less than 10.00 on each of them. They are going to go crazy when I see them next.  If I find the site where I saw the video I will give her credit she was right. Just take your time and you'll be surprised at what you can find.

Until next time, Play and have fun

Lady

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a nice week.  Well today is kind of bittersweet, Lady is being picked up by a family member. I've been dog sitting all week for a friend in my building. She fell and was not able to care for Lady so I took her home with me.

She really is not any trouble its just I'm not use to having a dog. I have 3 Siamese cats ( all bigger than her by the way). They are not quite sure what to do with her. She chases them everywhere. She's having a ball, but the girls are not impressed.

My girls are having trouble adjusting to her. They are eating very little and one of them used her puppy pad instead of the cat box. I will miss her terribly, but I know that for my girls I have to let her go. Ugh!  I hope I am doing the right thing.

Thanks for stopping by and see you next time.

Hi Everyone,
Well what a rainy day here in Ma. I did have plans to start posting paper crafting stuff but I am puppy sitting for a friend that lives in my building. She fell and broke her wrist and fractured her pelvis. So I have adopted Lady for a while.
The poor thing was left alone for I don't know how long. She's absolutely adorable. So with my 3 cats and one little puppy my day has been a little hectic. I'm not use to puppies. So hopefully in the next few days I'll get back on track. Until then take care
