Eight??

New Scribbles challenge...The Power of eight to celebrate their 8th birthday.

Here is my take on the challenge...



Both cards using the backgrounds I made, I hope my counting is correct LOL, there is eight items on both cards.

I've been able to enjoy my reorganized craft room and managed to make two heart stuffed pillows, two scrapbook pages and knock out these two cards. Great week and now back to reading books and resting more.  Enjoy and stay well!

Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Panda's anyone????

How cute is this Panda digi from Imagine That Digistamp

 I had to make an all occasion card to add into my greeting card gift packs. 

 I really think this will put a smile on anyone's face.

 This card will be added to Kris's Customer gallery not to the challenges.


Sorry for the lack of comments on blogs, I seem to be having techie issues with google blogger again.  

I'm getting opps errors, refresh the page, only to keep refreshing and nata, my comments won't post ugh!!!

Any ideas on how to fix it please let me know.

 
Enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m
 

Backgrounds.....

something new I'm playing around with. Stencils, big stamps and creating backgrounds.


Starting from the top left, stamped with markers, middle stamped with ink pads, right top stencil using my Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers.

Bottom left, stenciled using my chalks, bottom right stenciled using ink pads and outlining with markers. They look prettier than the picture, I still need a lot of practice, having fun, that's the important thing.

Enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Organizing and crafting....



oh my!  If only to wave a magic wand and everything would be all pretty and organized in one swoop. (Keep dreaming Lori )!

Here's to 2021 and better keeping up with putting things back in places where they can be found quickly, when needed. (Notes....added new labeled storage containers.... must remember to use them Lori!)

As much, as I've dreamed of a Martha Stewart or Anna Griffin gorgeous, all white all matching craft/sewing area, reality set in. That just isn't in the budget.

For me, a plus, was finding some nice storage containers, which I then added content labels to.....shall I say..."Organized"? Now, my crafty goodies are easy to reach and most of all easy to find.
 
Who knows...that dream craft studio, notes it would become a studio not a room, will become a reality, if I win the lottery, LOL.  

For now, I'm one happy camper that will be crafting when life allows me to do so.

With that being said....here are a few more cards that will be added to my greeting card gift stash.  

These cutie digi stamps are from Beccy's Place, too darling for words.



This is all for today, thank you for dropping by.

Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Welcome to

a New Year of crafting!

This card was created  using a freebie image over at  IKE'S World Challenges, thank you IKE for sharing!

I colored this in my Affinity Designer, then opened up into Silhouette Designer software and added the additional colored layers and bling. 

 I then printed and attached it to my card along with adding some marker colored touchups.



Adorable image and this card can be used for so many occasions to make folks smile.

Enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Happy New Year.....

and a new card to celebrate, only this time... I made a card box to be filled with all occasion cards which will be a gift.

This adorable image is from Kris ... Imagine That Digi Stamp .

Just too cute and I thought it would be perfect for my box top. After all, who can refuse an adorable Teddy surrounded by hearts? 

 The sentiment is from Beccy's Place store.





That's it for today, I'm still trying to finish up my reorganization of my craft room.  Anyone else think it's a task that never ends lol.

Hugs and Blessings, Lori m
