This will be a very short post. I just want to wish everyone a wonderful Holiday season with lots of blessings to you and your Family. This is the third year that has gone by without me posting anything, and it is not for lack of pics and stories, but because life has just been going so fast and hectic and has pulled me in so many directions that I just don't find the time to sit down and blog about it. I did start a new hobby meant to bring me calm, and it is felting with wool. I really hope to find time next year to share my stories, projects and new hobbies. For now, You all have a blessed and amazing Year in 2017 and may it be filled with Creative Energy!Evethmoon Crafty Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319299113274586997noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702439617603097350.post-86226090151373060562015-12-22T16:43:00.001-08:002015-12-22T16:43:52.571-08:00Checking in before the end of 2015 <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I have been gone a long time from my blog. But I also made big changes in my life, My family and I moved from one state to another and I have used the time spent away from here to join some classes and learn new ways of using my craft mediums. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have also used the time to be closer to my family and enjoy life with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I spend a big chunk of time on Facebook, there is a whole lot of things going on there besides great family fun. I have joined art groups and met a lot of marvelous and talented people, and have made a few close friends there too. but I know I will have to spend a lot less time there if I want to keep this blog updated. I am hoping to come here on a regular basis and have new art stuff and crafty things to show you. Will have to make some time for that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Today is the first of winter and it is like almost 60 degrees outside and we might break a record for Christmas eve, with weather like 70 or more. I am used to snow and weather in the 20s and 30s by Christmas. Anyway as always I hope to be more involved and busy with this blog. I am hoping to have my art and crafts well organized, so I don't have to spend 15 minutes looking for an item, when I am ready to do some crafting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> If you are here reading this, I Thank You for taking the time, I also want to wish you and Everyone else a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May 2016 be kinder to us all.

I cannot believe it has been more then a year since I was last here. I have been gone from here doing other stuff, like painting and taking online classes on creative art. I am in a few art groups on facebook and in a few weeks will be doing the winter swap of ATCs and also a Round Robin journal with a closed group. I will post about them when they are done. I am here today because I just did not want the year to end without wishing everyone a blessed season and hopeful New Year. May 2015 bring everyone lots of health and happiness!! </span>Evethmoon Crafty Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319299113274586997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702439617603097350.post-8177510435607903972013-12-07T13:01:00.000-08:002013-12-07T13:08:46.530-08:00Some Artsy swap stuff I have made. Hello my bloggy friends. This is a very quick post I want to show you some of the art I have made for some swaps. One of them is in celebration of Frida Kahlo, the other is one I did for a head-shot portrait swap. The art with blue hair is the head-shot I received from Annette Moore for the swap. There is a eye art I did for the October monthly challenge. All were done with Copic markers and some Prisma pencils. Thanks so much for viewing! <br />

I would like to let you all in on what's been happening around here lately. I was taking four online classes, but had to drop one. I managed finishing two, and one is still going on until Dec.2013. I am also into several art groups and a lot of challenges and swapping going around. I also have a hyper 10 year old that keeps me on my toes. Anyway, like if life was not hectic enough for me, I decided it was time for a cute little fuzzy Puppy for my son to play with. </span><span style="font-size: large;">We got this Boston terrier puppy named Domino at four weeks. ( He is now 9 weeks).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Now let me tell you what a wake up call I have had. I was not aware of the amount of work and attention a puppy needs. Being a first time mommy to this puppy has really tried my patience ( You need the patience of a saint to forgive and keep going). Many times I have found shoes chewed up, The beautiful bed I made him shred to pieces and the sofa covers peed on and poop on the rugs, and if you forget an important document or an art piece ( well you can kiss that good-bye) .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have washed the covers and thrown away the rugs. And each time I think I have puppy proof the place, he finds a new thing to chew on. like the edges of the newly paint wall trims all the way down to the raw wood. He can unscrew the nuts and bolts from the dinning room chairs and forget the wood gates ( Saw-dust after he gets through with them). He also loves chewing on all the cables and remotes he can find. He barks half the nite because he wants to sleep in someone's bed ( Not in mines!) And like if that was not enough he BITES, I pick him up to play with and within seconds I have to leave the room because no amount of telling him NO helps! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We have bought him an insane amount of puppy chew toys and all kinds of different treats and milk bones to help with his chewing. The Vet say's all puppy's go through this stage ( I just hope His new teeth don't hurt as much as his baby teeth). Okay Now enough ranting about the puppy ( I just needed to let it out). Below I have posted Pics Of this adorable Puppy who has turned our life up-side down but we love with all our hearts! </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hello my beautiful people! I have been gone a while from the blog and have missed my regular crafty buddies a lot. The last couple of months have been overwhelming indeed. I took some time to take an Art course at the University ( Glad that it's over). I have also continued to take online classes with two beautiful and talented Ladies The Gorgeous Kat McBride and the beautiful Ady Almanza. I have learned so much and continue to improve day by day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I Will be going around the craft community and visit with a lot of the blogs to see what I have missed, but first I want to post some pics of what I have been up to. A few months back I found out my daughter is expecting her second daughter. I am so happy another little girl to spoil! Well I have been sewing up a storm for her, I have made two quilts and a pillow. I'm in the process of making the matching bumpers to the quilts for the crib and I will be doing a few fitted crib sheets and changing table covers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have also done some jewelry for my sisters and I am currently working on some new styles. You will see pics of what I have already done below. Some of These are one of a kind pieces I have designed myself. I learned Jewelry making a while back and I love to invent new styles. I love giving my sisters earrings and matching bracelets created by me for their birthdays. It is so cool to see them wearing Jewelry I have created. I love working with different gems and findings. I like working with Swarovski crystals, they are faceted and come in so many colors and I love how they sparkle. Another favorite is Czech glass and fire-polish beads because they come in so many shapes and colors. Amazonite is green and lightly marbled and Turquoise especially the sleeping beauty is a gorgeous gemstone with no matrix. I work with sterling silver and goldfilled wire, but love silver plated copper wire because it is very workable and does not oxidize like sterling silver does. It never needs polishing and it is quite strong. Another plus of this wire is it's affordability, really you won't be breaking the bank with this wire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh, before I forget in our art group we are working with blue ink. Yes! just a regular cheap Bic pen in blue. I have been practicing my pen work in a moleskin art journal because the pages are so smooth and there is no bleed through to the next page. It is mainly filled with Mermies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well Thanks so much for keeping up with me, I can't wait to get back to the crafty blogs and the wonderful card challenges and to my Project life I have missed it so much! Okay enjoy the Pics. :-) </span><br />

Where did half of April go? <span style="font-size: large;"> Hello to all my beautiful Crafty friends. Now where did that first half of April go I ask myself? Well, there was a Birthday party for my son who turned 10 on April 1. Then I know there was a second birthday on the 13th for my nephew. But, what about the days in between. Well I don't know ( yeah right) who am I kidding. I have left my poor blog alone while I study. I tell you my beautiful people when I study, I don't know left from right or right from wrong and the days blend one into the other until I don't even know what month or day it is. I can't tell you the countless times I have wanted to come and post something and found it was way past my bed time and decided to hop in bed and get some sleep instead. But I have some stuff to post. I also have been advancing in my Art and I found time to take a Free Art workshop with the incredible and beautiful Kat Mcbride! She taught me lessons I did not know, but That will help when I move on to color portraits. I will also take some time to do a self portrait. I am still doing my Graphite pencil drawings and at the bottom of this post, I have put up two pics of my most recent work. I hope all of you have stayed productive and are posting all your incredible arts and crafts. Thanks so much for visiting me for a while and God Bless!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I know it's been a while but I am having so much fun with my drawings and tags and other art work. On the right side you will find the blog address of where I spend a large portion of my spare time. I am learning a ton from this beautiful teacher and mentor (Adriana Almanza). She is simply amazing in how quickly you can pick things up and learn to draw even if you are a complete beginner. I tell you friends I could not get those facial features right no matter how many instruction books I read and looked at. But Ady as many in the art community call her taught me in little time by just viewing her videos and joining her classes. I am at a really happy time in my life. I guess art is my calling (at least for now) because it makes my heart sing! So If you come and see that I am taking long to post anything, just remember I am busy creating art and feeding my happy side!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Below are just a few of the pencil drawings and some colored one's I have done for February. I use Prisma colored pencils , Water color paint and Copics and for outlining I love to use the permanent slickwriter pens in black also fine point sharpies the black or sepia multiliners from Copic are good because they are permanent and resistant to wet media. For the pencil drawings I have just used a regular # 2 Ticonderoga brand pencil. Thanks so much for being here and viewing my post. Hugs!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="text-align: center;">This drawings are not by all means finished. I will sometimes work on one and finish the shading or fix something that seems odd to me and I might color them in. Sometimes they end up looking much different then the black and white drawing. But often times after being fixed and colored they end up being so much prettier then the pencil drawings shown here. If I change any of these I will try to post the color ones so you can see the difference it makes when they are colored in. Thanks for viewing!</span></span><br />

I have not done much crafting this month but have continue my drawings and so I will post those below. It's always a little hard for me to get back into posting and creating after the mayor holidays are over. I think it's because everything gets tossed into my craft room when we are setting up the rest of the house for the festivities. Then when it's all over I have to spend a great deal of time putting old and new decorations away and throwing out boxes and left over crumple tissue and wrapping paper and recycling, just trying to get the room back in working order. I also wanted to mention that even though blogger has not stopped me from posting photos, I have noticed that it has stopped other bloggers from posting their photos and it's sad to see them not posting anymore. I hope there is a fix or work around to this soon, I would hate to see regular bloggers leave because of this. I am going to try really hard this year to get more cards and Scrapbooking done and join a few of the challenges going around. Well, here are the sketches I have done and don't forget I have more below on the November (2012) post also. Hugs to all and happy creating in 2013!</span><br />

You all lifted my spirits with your wonderful words. I pray that each and everyone of you's are doing great and enjoying the holiday season. I know it might be hard to enjoy the season in light of the recent news on the Teli. where a recent tragedy sent 20 little angels and six adults back to heaven a week before Christmas. I was shaken to the core and sick to my stomach with this news, but with a lot of praying I am slowing getting some crafting done and I hope you are doing the same. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I joined a Tag swap again, with the amazing Laura hosting it from following the paper trail. We had one last year and it was so much fun but last year it was about 300 people and about 2000 tags so she shorten the group this year to about 100 people and we picked the months that we would like to make tags for. In return we will receive the rest of the months back from the swappers. Below are a few photos of the tags I made and as always I will post the ones I receive after the holidays.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have continued my drawings and have updated my sketches a few times. You will find them under the thanksgiving post. I will try to find a better place for them so you don't have to scroll so much to find them. Adriana gave us a Christmas gift in the form of a Christmas angel pdf for us to color and post on her ning site. She asked us to make a card out of it. I colored two of them but have not made cards out of them yet. I used prisma color pencils and copic spica glitter pens and a white sakura gelly roll for the eyes and lots of stickles. the pics are below.</span><br />

As you can see I still need lots of work. They are not as easy as they seem. I think I do better with the Copic markers. I still want to learn to use them properly, so I will continue to practice with them.<br /><br /> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hi, If you have made it down to here please view and read the bottom pics. I just want to introduce Otis, A five month old seal point Siamese Kitten My son adopted for me from the North shore Animal league, to keep me company at home because a few weeks back my little Gordian finch bird flew away and never came back. My son knew I was sad about that and he said I needed a kitten and he was right! This little bundle of fur has brought joy and lifted my spirits with his antics (he is also driving the rest of the family crazy, by getting into all there stuff.) He is one of the rescue animals the shelter brought in from the recent hurricane. I am happy he is healthy and is up to date with all his shots, he will go next week for some kitten blood work and we already have a vet (Yay). Here are some Pics of him.</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hi, I hope everyone is fine and enjoying the holiday season and being thankful for all the Lord has giving us. I had hopes for blogging a few weeks ago, but we all know things don't go as planned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> One day I woke up in the middle of the night with pains all over my hip bones and legs and I could not shake them off, I would be okay during the day not totally pain free but enough that I could walk around and take my son to school and back home. But once I tried to sleep the pains came back and this went on for a week before I told my husband it's time to go to the emergency room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> Well at the hospital they asked the usual questions and hooked my special ID bracelets on and put me in there most comfortable stretcher together with like 30 other sick people. After a long while they took blood samples and sent me up for a scan. To make a long story short the Doctor found nothing wrong with me and sent me home with pain killers for a week. I took them an about 2 weeks later I was able to sleep without any pain. Seems like I might have over worked my body and had muscle pain (never knew that type of pain before). This past week I have been with a bad cold, I'm slowly getting over it and feeling better. There's nothing better then knowing you are soon getting together with family, to lift your spirits up and forget your pain. I love the holidays! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> I also wanted to let you know of a wonderful Lady called Adriana Almanza, I call her my teacher extraordinaire because I have already learned so much from her. she has a lovely teaching blog and Ning site, and she draws and colors the most adorable dolls with huge eyes(many call it big eye art) and I just adore them. She makes journals and she can paint so beautiful, she uses so many different medias like prismas, copics, spectrum noir, acrylic, watercolor and ect. ect. and her work is just a joy to watch. I could go on and on but I will just give you her blog and let you decide for yourself, it is http://www.adrianaalmanza.blogspot.com/ I used to draw many years ago but gave up because I really wasn't that good. And one day I came across one of Ady's youtube videos and I fell in love with her type of art and ever since I have been practicing drawing faces because she says you must practice practice practice, well you get the point. Here is a small sample of my drawings. It's okay to laugh (some of them are so comical)LOL, But I'm just a beginner and I'm still trying.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Okay I wanted to also show you some bookmarks I did for my grandson's 4th birthday. my daughter set it up in Funtopia USA and she wanted the goodies to be Batman for the boys and Lalaloopsy for the girls. I made some batman and Lalaloopsy coloring books with free coloring pages I found online. The bookmarks I did with the free images I found online I colored them with Bic Markers and the skin tone I used copic markers. I cut them out and pasted them to chipboard and put some cute pattern paper on the back, I ran into a little problem when I modpodged the bookmarks because they bubbled slightly but once dried they were okay. Here are the Pics below. </span><br />

My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to all those in the North East and everywhere that have lost their homes and loved one's due to hurricane Sandy. I have been crafting but I don't want to post anything I have done. I just want to reflect upon and post about the last couple of days here, which I have spent mostly in my craftroom cutting, painting, gluing, scrapping and doing anything that will keep me sane and focus and not tuned to the Television. The News has been on all day for the past three days and has not stopped giving me a play by play of all the loss and destruction left by Hurricane Sandy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> I know in a natural disaster we don't get to choose who stays and who goes and we are no match for Mother Nature's fury when she is upset. It hurts to see so many innocent live's lost and many people without homes. Having lost everything they have ever worked for. It hurts to hear the horror of people being crushed by tree's and other's having lost everything down to their precious children's photographs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> My husbands job has shut down because of loss of power, so he's out of a job until further notice and my children have not returned to school because many of the school's have been turned into shelters for those in need. M</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">y oldest daughter and sons have also been out of work for loss of power The buses have limited service and the subways and trains have been shutdown </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">until</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> they can be fixed (water damage everywhere).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> I Live in the North East and I thank the Lord on bend knees's for having spared us, for we still have a roof above our heads and are still together. To all those that have not fared well my heart goes out to you, I will keep you in my prayers. Please keep the faith and be strong the lord will light the way. Hugs and much love to all! </span>Evethmoon Crafty Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319299113274586997noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702439617603097350.post-72283728870427488482012-10-17T00:49:00.002-07:002012-10-22T06:12:24.763-07:00New tags,small tiles and a cubby update. <span style="font-size: large;"> Hi Everyone, hope you are all doing great this time of year. Autumn is my favorite time of the year.The leaves have begun to fall and they are changing from there green color to the beautiful fall colors like orange, red, brown and yellow and some leaves have turn deep burgandy. I like that the weather is not to hot and it is not so cold. You really just need a light jacket and not heaps and layers of clothes like in winter. Okay, enough weather talk, Sorry I was in my news reporting mode LOL. Now lets get back to what this blog is about (Crafty Stuff) and some blogging.</span><br />

Here are four tags I made using some of these mediums.</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now, This idea I got from watching Jennys644 from Youtube. She has a website called Freestyle Crafts (It's awesome and has more then 2000 videos). Well, her name is Fiona I saw her video on making tiny tiles by cutting up regular chipboard into small tile size chips and painting them white. You can use any type of stamps on them or you can cut small pics from your paper pads ( I used pics from the Graphic 45 paper pads). If you decide to stamp them you can use any type of distress colors on them. You then have to use a sealer ( I used glue and seal from ranger). after letting the tiles dry you can add a generous layer of glossy accents or 3d lacquer to get a glossy dome layer effect on them. let them dry overnight undisturbed and they turn out like old vintage tiny tiles. They turned out great!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Up now I want to show you another foam board cubby I made for my craft table. I also took out the last cubby holes from my older one and redid it with drawers at the bottom. This was not my idea, I want to give credit to Robin from RobinCreativeCottage. I was viewing the storage other crafters do on you tube and came accross her video of her storage with drawers and I decided to make a new craft storage with drawers and I also updated my old storage cubby with drawers on the bottom.I added paper from DCWV and gaint round brush silver brads as drawer knobs. I have been having my older one for a while now and it has held up just fine. Untill I find something suitable in wood, these will do just fine. They are easy,simple and inexpensive. If you need storage for light items and are on a budget try these. There are all over You tube and many crafters have done wonderful videos explaining the procedure that goes with creating one of these storage units. The units are simple, just be careful with the hot glue gun it gets hot and a little messy. besides that they are fun to create.Well here is the end of my post. If you have made your way down this long post I want to Thank you so much for reading and viewing this post. Lots of hugs and as always may God bless you all!</span></td></tr>

The peace card is below, Just in case you want to by pass all this wonderful stuff I'm writing about which has nothing to do with the card. I just felt like doing a little blogging today. Well it was my children's first day back to school. I always get a little misty when they have to go back, after having them with me all summer long. I know school is good for them and I'm happy to have some more blogging and crafting time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I want to tell you about this store hubby took me Over the weekend called Amazing Savings. I had heard other scrappers talk about this store, but I didn't know if I had one nearby. Well, it so happens that my hubby was helping our son move into his new place and found one about a block away from him. I was overjoyed to go visit our son and take a look at this store. besides all the regular house wares and lots of Mikasa glass pieces and an abundance of kitchen gadgets and cutting boards and some furniture storage pieces. There is an area of school supplies and on the other side it's crafts and scrapbooking. they have lots of K and Company stickers as well as paper packs. lots of Making memories paper packs and pebble brads. lots of Page kits from colorbok, stamps from image tree and DCWV epoxy brads and they also carry stuff from Stickopotamus and many more embellishments. Needless to say, I left with a lot of stuff with out breaking the bank, because most things were a dollar and the paper packs about 3.00. I think they are over stocks but the prices sure are amazing. I would ask any one with a low budget to go check these stores out. I saved a lot for the same items I buy at my local craft store.they don't have everything but you usually will leave with a few good stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Okay, sorry if the post was too long. But now for the Peace card, I went to my little niece's birthday party last week. She wanted a peace party, so beside's buying her some cute shirts with peace designs on them. I made her this simple peace card in her favorite colors lots of pinks and purples. I used one of my favorite embossed cards in white. I also used Peace stamps and peace ribbon a lot of Copics in pink and purple. I also use Martha Stewart glitter glues and spica glitter pens to dot the inside of the flowers, I used a giant circle punch and scallop decorative scissors to go around the circle.</span><br />

I have been so super busy this month, with all the getting back to school shopping and the countless birthdays and barbecues on the weekends, it's been very hectic around here. But I did take a few hours here and there to do some crafting, and I'm finally posting it this morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have been doing some cute pages shaped like a baby's bounty blanket and embellishing them, I will fill them up with baby tags and later put into a baby mini album. I also made a very simple mini album out of K and company paper and I am still in the process of filling it with tags and embellishments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I also have a lot of clip art and images that I print out or fussy cut from some of my older paper pack called Hot off the Press. I wanted to preserve them for when I need to use them. So, what I did was fussy cut a lot of the images and with removable adhesive I paste them down on two 8X10 paper and putting two sides together with images facing outward, I then pass them through the sticker machine with two sided lamination. When they come out you just cut around the paper very close to the edge and pull apart the two sides. After that just cut all the images and you will have them all laminated and protected from wet hands .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Okay, now for the box, I had notice that my desk was slowly piling up with pop dots and other adhesives, but not wanting to get up and go to my nearest crafting store for yet another small plastic bin and not wanting to store the new pop dots I purchased into my adhesive drawer. I decided to alter a small cardboard box I had and store my pop dots there at an arms reach. I am not going into a long detail explanation, I will let the pictures speak for them selves. What I did was cover the box in and out with some K and Company paper called Madeline, and I fussy cut some butterflies from the flora and fauna borders and paste them on the box top. The man and woman silhouettes are from the Victorian Romance cricut cartridge, I also used some music paper from the colorbok paper pad and I cut the image on the fold down tab from Graphic45 Le Romantique paper and I put small round velcro as the closure underneath the fold down tab. I used stickles on the woman's headband and on her waist ribbon and bow and on the mans shirt. It was pretty easy and simple and I enjoyed myself. Now I have to run off and make some more Birthday cards and I will post them later in the week. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and reading this post, have a blessed Sunday!</span><br />

I know many of you know what Project life is, but for those that may not be familiar with it I wanted to give a small review here. I love the look of traditional layouts but we all know how traditional scrapbooking is, a little time consuming and depending on how much embellishing you do, it can take even longer to create one beautiful scrap layout page. Well this incredible woman (Becky Higgins) came up with a plan that is foolproof to fill up your albums quickly and beautiful. This system she calls Project life (and us diehard fans call it a blessing). It is made up of binders core kits and plastic pocket pages, all you will really need after you have these components is a pen. You will put the decorated cards that come in the core kits into the pocket sleeves, then you slide in some photos and you journal about the photos on some of the journaling cards in the core kits and add those into the right pockets and call it a day. Your album can come together quickly and simply, or you can do your own embellishing and add memorabilia and make it as extravagant as you want it to be. Yesterday I received four of the core kits ( birthday gifts from my sons). I already had a colbalt kit, two binders and a ton of plastics. I am set for this year and next year. If you are interest in learning more of this way of filling your albums please go to <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/">http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/</a> There you will find all the information you need and Becky is always updating her blog with the latest on her products and where they are for sell. She has lots of videos to help you out too and lots of photos for inspiration. She has just come out with new plastics in different configurations for your albums. Following are a few photos of my core kits. Thanks for taking your time and reading this small review and Hugs always!</span><br />

Well, you know what that means have to make another card lol ( I enjoy it).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> She wanted a princess party, so I took some Disney paper and cardstock and made a card for her. I fussy cut the bottom of the princess dress ( I think this is princess Belle)image and I added the paper flowers and leaves and some brads to hold the flowers together ( the flowers and leaves are from K&Company and you put them together. I also used distress ink (worn Lipstick) on all the edges and stamped a dragon fly and added a butterfly bling and last I cut around the princess celebration sentiment with decorative deckled scissors and inked it all around and added a stitched pink ribbon with glitter dots and Viola the card was done. Hope you are all taking some time to craft, Thanks for viewing, Hugs and God bless.</span><br />

I'm back with a birthday card I made for my niece.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a kit I bought years ago from HSN ( or maybe it was QVC) cant't remember now. Anyway it's old and vintage looking, and I did not do any thing with it for a long time, but from time to time I pull out papers and embellishments from it and create something. So last week I pull one of the cards in a peach color and I embossed it and added some flowers and glued some papers from K and Company. I also added a pretty diecut from an EK success punch. I took a lovely velvet ribbon, from a Anna Griffin collection (love all her stuff). and added it the the front bottom of the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> On the inside of the card I used a technique I learned from StampwithBernie on you tube. She calls it floating butterflies. You take a piece of acetate and you cut it round and round in a spiral and you paste it to the inside of the card both sides with glue dots and you add butterfly cut outs or punches. When you open the card it stretches the acetate and the butterflies look as if they are flying or floating inside the card ( real cool effect). Please view her video for a more detail look. This was my first attempt at creating a card this way. Please don't forget to comment (remember your comments good or bad are what keeps me growing in this craft and I welcome them all). Thanks for viewing and hugs always!</span><br />

Laura from following the paper trail host it and there were about 320 people that signed up, and three different groups of tags. all together Laura received about 2,700 tags. She had her work cut out for her, so while she sorted and packed all the groups together, I patiently waited and received my tags last week. ( so happy). Every one did an awesome job with them, they are all beautiful to me. If you have reach this far down the post I thank you! Please continue the Pics of the tags are next. Hugs and god bless.</span><br />

They are a lot less stress now that regents and final tests are over. I am just happy to get back to some crafting again and maybe join some challenges they are so fun. I also want to enjoy some time with them out doors in the summer sun. I upgraded to the new blogger interface, because the old one will be taken away in a few weeks and I might as well move up now while I have the time. So my blog might look funny for a few days, until I learn the ins and outs of it. I discovered it is a bit confusing but nothing you can't learn. I was having a little trouble placing the gadgets where they go and a few other stuff. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On another note my Birthday is not until Friday but my sneaky Daughter and Son along with the rest of the family collaborated this past Saturday to throw me a surprise birthday dinner at Red Lobster, they were all there (about 24 family members) including my darling grandchildren. I had a fabulous time and the waiter's came over after the dinner to sing me Happy Birthday and give me a slice of the most delicious slice of chocolate cake and ice cream, which I was to full to eat so the grand children gladly ate it (oh well , some one had to eat it). I might post some pics later, for now I leave you with the photo above of what I chose which is my favorite dish and my favorite drink when ever I go there. You can see a little of my hubby's dinner behind my drink, he love's fried seafood while I like mine's grilled. Thanks my friends for taking the time to read this post. I'll be back with more later in the week. Hugs and God bless to all. </span>Evethmoon Crafty Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319299113274586997noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702439617603097350.post-34588964862645988122012-06-08T14:01:00.000-07:002012-06-28T06:30:08.615-07:00Happy Friday to all my crafting blogging friends.<span style="font-size: large;">Hope everyone is doing great! I have been spring cleaning and organizing since school will be over in a few weeks. I will then have more time for blogging and scrapping, but most of all more time for PROJECT LIFE! YES yes I'm in love with project life (There I've said it). This system of scrapping better known as documenting the moments in our lives that Becky Higgins has come up with is so GREAT. I love the ease of it all. The end of this month will have three good things going for me the first is the end of school which equals to more crafting time for me. The second is that the project life core kits including the original now called cherry edition will be back in stock on Amazon. And the third is, it will be my birthday and the kids will soon start asking what do I want and my answer will be core kits and page protectors (Yay for me).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I also like to go blog watching and see all the wonderful you tube videos people do using project life. I like to see how the whole community fills up their albums, all the same way yet all the albums come out different when you add your own photos and embellishments. Okay enough is enough, I have babbled long enough for you to get the point, how much I am loving project life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I took some time this week to do two cards for one of my favorite challenge blog. The theme is anything goes but you can use the three colors Yellow, Gray and Blue if you want to. I incorporated these colors in my cards. The little naughty boy is a digi stamp from MJM and I colored him with a combination of prisma and copic markers. I also used the bubble all around punch from Martha Stewart. For the little boy going fishing digi, I colored him up using just copics and I used the punch double arches for the edge and my scallop scissors to go around the image. I will be entering these two cards in the Jackson's Digital Expression card challenge blog. Well that's all for now, I will try to post more next week. Have a wonderful weekend my friends. Hugs and God bless.</span><br />

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying some wonderful weather. Down my way, it has been gloomy thunder showers on and off and it feels humid and stuffy. Enough about the weather, I want to show you two cards I made a while back and did not have a chance to post. The first is a Mother's day card I did for my sister. I used the little darlings paper and the butterfly embellishment is from K& Company and I used worn lipstick distress ink on the edges and a pretty punch from Martha Stewart to finish the card. The Second card I made for a little girls birthday. she was turning one ( such a precious time) I used white card stock and paper from K&Company Itsy Bitsy. I added the diecut cupcake from hot off the press and stickers from another pad whose name I don't recall at the moment and I cut out the Birthday words and paste it on, so easy. Hope you like these and have a wonderful crafting week my friends.</span><br />
