Pretty Organized

Well hello friends!

Last year I created a challenge project for Ephemoire FB Group.  I have used it so very much! So, when I needed a special place to put school calendars, I decided it was time to create a new holder!

Lemme first share the 1 year old folder project...

I'll admit, I went a teeny bit overboard with aging it with water spritzing 😂😂 But I have used it so much and I've been been very happy with how well it's held up!

So, for my July DT Project for Ephemoire, I created this little cuties!!

Product Used: Whimsical Heart Journal Kit

All I did was coffee stain the file folder using a spray bottle and left over coffee then baked it until it was dry. The I went about using different elements from the kit linked above, to make my project. I added scraps of lace and trim, some bling and stamping. I am so happy with how this turned out using such a beautiful kit!! <3

Product Used: Whimsical Heart Journal Kit

Just be careful, these file folders are rather addictive and lots of fun to put together. There are a bunch of BRAND NEW items in the Ephemoire Etsy Shop. You should pop over and take a peek. I have a long wish list going right now!!

Exciting News!

Welcome friends!

I am here today sharing my very 1st Design Team project for Ephemoire! Traci creates the most amazing digital artwork that can be used for journals, mixed media projects, scrap booking, card making, home decor, fashion creations and the list keeps on going! Check out here Etsy shop EPHPOP. Now, on to the project!

I have been trying to crate my project photos for a few days, but the weather hasn't been playing nice! So, this morning I decided to give it a go inside and wow, I'm pleasantly surprised!

 Items Used: 

Printable Dress Form Tag Sheet

Princess Glitter Crowns

I wish I could say I came up with this beautiful idea, however, sadly I did not. I saw it while perusing where else, Pinterest of course! All of Traci's artwork are digital, so you can download and start creating immediately.

The wings and flower petals I cut from  file in Design Space. I inked everything using Distress Inks. And put everything together following this video. It was easy and so much fun with these gorgeous designs!

Fat Squirrels

So, in my studio my work station is directly in front of a HUGE window. I decided about 2 weeks ago to move one of my shepherds hooks across the way. I added one suet and one large capacity bird seed feeder to the hook, thinking it would be a glorious view. Well, it is! BUT, now the trouble I seem to be having is I get very little done. I find myself sitting here watching the birds (9 different species so far) and the rather chubby squirrels!

I can't help it! I love squirrels. I guess my love for them started in college as my sorority's mascot is Skiouros (squirrel in Greek.) I'm an alum of Alpha Gamma Delta, North Georgia Collage in the 80's.

And sadly, no, these are not my photos. I only have a point and shoot camera. I'd LOVE to have a "real" camera and the accompanying knowledge to use it. We have soooo many woodsy neighbors here on our 10 acres.

Well, maybe one day huh? In the mean time, I'll just keep trying hard to get something accomplished here in my studio!

A Snowy Little Dream

It's been a while since I posted because I've been working hard on transitioning my Etsy shop to my own stand alone e-commerce site ~ Suzie Q Gifts. I've worked hard to fill my store with stickers, charms, clips, supplies, die cuts, and more. I've been posting mostly on my Face Book and Instagram primarily. It's been going well and has been a lot of fun.

But today I wanted to go back where it all started for me, Cut It Up Challenges! Evelyn's was the 1st Design Team I ever participated on! I decided I need to work on my Christmas cards, I really like working on them throughout the year. It's been like FOREVER since I actually made a card, haven't used my Copic markers in literally 2 years! It's crazy how the crafting world moves on and how my talents have waned. All of that to say, please be kind when viewing my little card. 😀

I cheated and used a Cricut project to make this card, using cardstock from my closet (it would've been from Hobby Lobby or Michael's tho.) I did put Wink of Stella on the trees. I hand stamped the sentiments. It's a good starting place and I will dust off my card making skills and hopefully play along often to rebuild my holiday cards supplies.

Challenges:
    Cut It Up - #165 How's the Weather?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day wherever you may be 💖

Hugs and laughter,
