A Happy Hello

A happy Hello Indeed;)  It has been over a month and I have not touched anything

creative in my home.  Between a late spring ice storm, Graduation and little j getting

ill, life has kept me very busy.

However, yesterday was my birthday and I spent it doing things I totally enjoy

reading and card making.

I picked up some cute images from Sherri Baldy turned on my Mac and enjoyed my special day.

Here is one of my creations....

Don't you just love Sherri Baldy Stamps?

They are so dang CUTE!

Below is my digitally colored image created in PSE10. 

The thing I love best about digital stamps is paring them up with all the

 digi scrapbook kits I own.

This creation used "Just About Me" from Sara Schmutz.

I found the download over at Design House Digital...

 The beaded flower was made a very long time ago. 

 They are fun to do however, they require 

a lot of patience.

Thank you for stopping by today;)

Recollections paper flowers.

Take Note...Only in MY World!

Easel style post it note and pencil cup...

Using Merry January from We R Memory Keepers.

The Pencil cup portion is made with 4" coasters so the final dimension ends up being

4" by 2" by 4"

I finished off the inside with true black cardstock so pen marks etc would not show.

Covered a few pencils, pens and clips with dp.

Okay, so DH and I were driving home the other day and I said I needed a "safe place".  Hold it!  I can't lock myself in the house the toilet flusher handle bites.  I can't lock myself out of the house the world is too crazy.  There is no SAFE PLACE!

So here is what I did last week.  I tore my ACL and some cartilage in my right knee.  I know, I am special;)  When things get done around here the are done well!  Started on Friday we went out to lunch I ended up slipping on a stupid suction cup that found its way off the door to the floor.  I did not completely fall but I injured my toenail and wrecked my pedi and that alone had me upset!  On Saturday  DH and I went to the Storm game (another great one)!  9-0  HELLO...GO STORM! Find out more on the Sioux Falls Storm here.  Then we went to leave I must have finished a step just a bit wrong and all of a sudden a loud disturbing noise and I could no longer put weight on my right leg.  After 3 hours waiting in the ER they finally got me in and determined my injury.  I was able to get in on Tuesday with the specialist Donna has seen for years he right away just by moving my joint around what was up. 

 Another wait for the MRI....I will let you know as soon as I know more.  

I am usually not this interesting wish I could return to that status!

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless.

Triple Strand Bracelet with Matching Earrings

Okay, isn't this set a beauty?  I LOVE IT.  Was going to be a gift but I love it so much I have decided to gift it to  myself. 

Do you know what is so very special about this little gem?

The large beads are made from PAPER yes I used W R Memory Keepers Merry January 12 by 12 dp 

to make these beads.  They are strung on a wire with crystals.  The triple chain was a huge challenge I  sat it aside and walked away on a few occasions.  I loved it so much I kept going back and giving it another try.

Thanks to my Sister for a huge donation of beading supplies the girls and I have been stringing crazy the past few weeks.  We have some gifts ready for your stash as well;)

Here is a quick video on making paper beads.  I did the later technique and when finished I coated the paper beads with diamond Glaze and let dry.

Happy Stamp Day.

Charmed Heart Boot Candy

RaNdOm post part 2...

Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, "Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.--Anthony Robbins

Here is an extra dangle in lime and purple...

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.--Carl Jung

I have been seeing these boot charms all over the Internet as of late.  Just had to make one for myself.  It was so easy I even had Little J helping out.

I attached silver split rings with two jump rings to create the chain.

Then I made a dangle using a head pin.  I connected the dangle to the chain using a magnetic clasp to make it easy for switching out dangles to match my outfit for the day.

So I think I will be keeping my boots out for a bit longer now;)

We even made little j a pair they are so CUTE!

Elizabeth, Sara and little j ready for the spring concert.  Liz had a solo and she did GREAT!

My purse I LOVE IT!  You can get yours at the link below also.  Yes, I had to purchase the matching wallet;)
