About Me

My photo
I would classify myself as an artist. It took me a while to finally accept that monicker, but that's what I am; AN ARTIST!!! I have a wonderful hubs that supports my "talents" in most all avenues, except maybe when the credit card bill comes in the mail...LOL And I have 4 great kids and 5 beautiful grandchildren that I love to pieces. Come on by and sit a spell and "STAMP 'TIL YA CRAMP!!! & "CROP 'TIL YA DROP!!!"

HB....crafty lady!!!!!

Love this image from Modern Sugar Blvd. It kinda reminds me of ....well, ME !!!! Well, sorta, I really don't have an outfit like she's wearing....LOL. This was actually made for 2 challenges, yep count 'em two... The first one is a "sweet" challenge on MSB (<---- click there to see the deets) and the second one is a guest designer call on InStyle Stamps (again <---- click to see the deets)... I'm just sending you on a journey thru cyber space, huh??? But, believe me, its worth the trip..... But first, let me clue you in on a few details about my card...
This is the first large card I have made to fit into a business size envelope (#10), kinda reminds me of the studio style cards.... they were a little risque...teehee. Are they even still around??? I'm sure somebody still carries them. I love a digi, I printed out this beauty large enough to cover a large part of the card, her being long and lean helped. I added a strip of torn gingham fabric using staples after tying a knot first. Punched out some flowers with a MS punch and added a few giggle dots. Then I made the sentiment using the computer and waalllaaaa. You have a #10 sized card to fit in your #10 sized envelope.
Until later, crafty ladies...... Gotta split....TFL !

Crystal, love her cute little apron full of craft stuffs! I could use one of those! You did a great job. I often think of making a bigger card just to have more room to embellish and such but I don't often actually do it!

Love it. Funny, I only do A-2 cards. Maybe I should broaden (OK narrow) my horizons over here - ya think!

Are we ready for tattoo #3? I soooo thinking on it!

Hugs,
