My craft cabinet!!

So this is still a work in progress. My wonderful darling talented husband made this for me after I showed him a picture of one from a very popular scrap organizer cabinet company.

It needs sanding on all the edges still and paint. It will be painted with magnetic primer and then chocolate brown chalkboard paint on the back for my son and a neutral colour on the rest.Thinking of putting whiteboard paint on the inside sides of the door which only show if the cabinet is open so I can write notes or sketch and erase or whatever.... maybe I'll do that in chalkboard paint too.. we'll see. :)

 

May your birthday be magical

This is a card I made for a friend of mine. It is coloured with just about every different colouring medium I had at the time.

There is lots of sparkle on this card too but the picture doesn't show.

Lots of new stuff being posted

These first 3 are from a twinkling H20 class I took at Carousel Rubber Stamps.. the same place that Faye works from the video of the mini cuttlebug roses I posted.

This last card is last years Christmas card (I know REALLY old!!) It was originally a make and take from Carousel... can you tell I really like it there?? The top version is the one we made there and the 2nd one is the one I mass produced for my Christmas cards.

So I realized how many cards I have now that aren't posted so I am on a posting frenzy to get myself caught up since I intend to make ALOT more cards this year (and so far it's going alright). I'm going to keep my details short and to the point so if you have questions just ask.

Gorgeous mini roses!!!!

This video is made by one of my all time favourite crafters. She works at "Carousel Rubber Stamps" in Dartmouth, NS Canada and just always comes up with some of the most amazing things. She has been demoing this locally since the store got their "demo" product. Needless to say provocraft was stunned at their first few orders and how many of the daisy quilling kits they wanted to order!!! Faye finally got someone to video it so she could share it with others outside of in-store clients.

Anyways check it out!! The video doesn't do them near the justice they deserve. These are gorgeous!!!

Oh the stores website is carouselrubberstamps.com

You make my heart sing!!

Just got my stamps and couldn't resist inking these two sets up together!!



Ink is sweet plum.



The hands are coloured with EOO and E51 (the only 2 skin tones I could find when I went to buy some copics to use with this set) and the pink heart is R20.



Paper is pure luxury white layering weight, the purple colour from the sent with love kit (I think it's wine with everything but without going to my paper stash right now to double check that's my guess) and some patterned paper from the kit too.



Love how this turned out and how quick it came together!! :)



Oh the stamp sets I used are Nina's new gleefully yours set and melanie's new where your heart is set both from ginakdesigns.

Go check it out... Video of my fave technique!!

Okay so if you've received a birthday card or thank you card from me this past year you've seen one of Melanie M's stamps that I am absolutely in love with. Anyways a technique made with this set "arranged with love" made it on PBS tv (your card may have even used this technique since it's one of my fave techs).
To see all the details and a second video as well go check out Melanies post about it here http://melaniemuenchinger.blogspot.com/2011/01/on-tv-not-stv-this-time-tee-vee.html

Then come back and tell me what you think, just cause I'm curious if anyone else loves this as much as I do!! If you do make sure you post/blog about it too and you could win one of Melanies new sets not even released yet!!!
