Thursday 26 March 09: Approaching the weekend

I am looking forward to the weekend. Friday, I am going to a card making/Copic marker class. Love those Copic markers.

Might do some online gaming this weekend.

Got another stamp from the A Muse amuse-bouche collection.

Got some more of the 18"X18" Martha Stewart card stock/paper. I am using it to make a huge scrapbook for my baby girl. Very odd working with that size of page-layout, but I am enjoying all the photos that can fit. I will post that scrapbook-in-progress.

Looking forward to some more crafting today and this weekend.

Let's get crafting!

Cards-n-Things Posted

I posted some recent and old stuff.

I am working on a scrapbook from our day in Paris. All of the photos were originally color. I played with them on Picasa. I distressed both photos and paper. When I think of Paris, I think in Sepia/Black and White: I imagine everything old and aged. Though, I know not EVERYTHING in Paris is old. I need to add some small embellishments, titles, etc... I also have some more photos to add. When finished I will create a front and back page, and use my Bind-It-All to connect it all together.

So far, for this album, I have used a combo of Martha Stewart and Bazzill papers, Tim Holz distress ink and an old nail file to distress the edges.

The ATC that I posted was made recently, and it is the first one I have made. It was for an A Muse themed ATC shoebox swap. I am not completely satisfied with it, but it is a start. I used an A Muse stamp, A Muse ribbon, Bazzill paper, Copic Markers, and Art Glitter. I look forward to making more ATC's.

The card in progress is for a A Muse birthday card swap. I like the general layout of the paper and ribbon. I just can't decide where to put the cake. I have another A Muse stamp to use for: Happy Belated Birthday. Not sure if I will put it on the front page or the inside of the card.

Last, the card with the flowers all over it. I wasn't sure if I should embelish is more? I think I like it simple and as is. Does it inspire thoughts of Spring or Summer or neither?

That is it for now. Going to play with my sweet baby girl.

Making Progress...

Yesterday was productive. I made one card, almost finished another, and got inspiration for others.

Today I am going to post some projects-in-progress.

Looking forward to swaps n stuff coming up.

Gotta Stamp!

Didn't get to crafting yesterday. Today...it will happen. I have just been in the A Muse lounge and am extremely inspired. Lots of great cards with the new stamps.

Projects I am working on:

A Muse themed: 'birthday' card, 'Spring is in the air' card, 'summer' card, and two other A Muse style paper crafts.

ATC: wing themed....got a Tim Holz stamp to use.

For the 'birthday' card, I got a 'belated birthday' stamp; I am always late with birthdays.

Gotta finish my coffee and get the day going....

Monday morning. Wanting to get crafting but knowing clutter awaits. Priorities. Desires. Choices.......play with the baby!
