Punch Art birthday card

This card idea came from Pinterest (can you see a pattern here...LOL) I loved the concept.  My son is going to school to become a mechanical engineer (go MTU) and he is quite hands on with tools so this just seemed fitting for him.  

 The stamp set is from Pink by Design Tool Time

Shamrock card

Happy St.Patty's Day.....Stampin Up Garden Green Cardstock & basic black ink.  Stamp set (outside the card) by Pink By Design.  Stickers from JoAnn's dollar bin, some bling crystals

The inside of the card.....stamp is from dream impressions

Playing catch up

It's been so long since I've posted.....we had a busy Summer leading into Fall here....and on top of that I have been trying to get my craft space whipped into shape.  I think some days it just whipped me.  I love now that I have everything in one area & it is organized!  You see, my basement flooded some years ago & my original craft space was destroyed.  This had been the 2nd time our basement had flooded due to our Townships lack of keeping up with the sewer lines (yes it was sewer water, clear but still contaminated which caused us to bring in special companies to deal with it and you cannot sue the Township...) .  I did not want to invest money in re-doing my craft room to possibly have this happen again.  But I bought a cricut machine & it changed my crafting in a BIG way....so then I had stuff here, there & everywhere....the time came to finally bite the bullet and do it....now it is done & I am in love with my new space!!!  But in the process I've neglected my blog....Please forgive me & I promise to try & keep up with it.....let's share some crafting photos with all of you =)

A fun Halloween card I made this year....and all the supplies I used where clearenced items!!!  I love the fact that it is not in the traditional colors most people associate with Halloween....I also used Pink by Design stamps on this project.

I love the witch legs...I got the original idea from an Stampin Up demo named Melanie Schulenberg.  These cello bags are now available from Stampin Up in there Holiday Mini.......My Creative time stamps were used in this project.

My Halloween decor.....most of these were done in 94 & 02.  I just love being crafty!!  And the memories of years past with all the decor warms my heart...thoughts of my sons when they were little & Mom decorating the house for the season....Nothing is better than that!
