A Walk in the Woods

Good evening blog friends.  I'm very pleased with how tonights card turned out. I don't use dies very often, but have been buying a few lately, hoping to combine them into my cards.

I started by stamping the deer with versa mark and heat embossing with brown.  I then mad a mask for the deer and the moon, and inked the background with distress ink.  Distress ink was used on the trees.  Another die was used for the grass along the bottom.

New Storage

Morning all. I need about a two month long holiday to do fun stuff again.  I am really finding it hard to have the time in my craft space.  My stamps have been stored in binders, which take up alot of space in my cabinet.  I am in the process of changing all my stamps into E-Z Storage containers by Crafters Companion.  I am in the process of dismounting all my stamps that are on e-z foam, so more stamps will fit into each container.  Getting the glue off the backs is a long process, and taking up most of my working area.

Love the new storage.  The only complaint I have is, clear stamps on the white pages are really hard to see what the image is.  

I did manage to make a birthday card for my sister in law last night.  I think I've found my favorite stamping method.  Love my little Misti for stamping and I am just discovering all the uses for Tombow markers.  

I'm very pleased at how this has turned out.  I made a one layer card because it has to make it through the mail.  

Work is getting closer and I have to get ready.  Wishing I had a snow day with the kids today.

Baby Fever

Evening blogging friends.  Hubbie is having a baby boom at the office again.  The same three ladies as two years ago, all having girls then.  The one from the office has had hers, a boy.  One of the daughters from another co-worker has had hers too, a boy as well.  The other one is due in April, along with a friend of ours.  So I'm busy with knitting and making baby cards.

Last night I made hubbie a card to sent from the office.  Why just make one.  I did one for a boy and one for a girl.

When walking the dog lately, I've been taking him out back on our trail so he doesn't have to be on leash.  He is able to run free and just loves it.  Hubbie and son keep the path shoveled all winter which makes walking very easy.  Maxwell loves running the trail.  He usually runs ahead, I'll hang back and call him back.  Working on his come and giving him extra exercise.  Today I took a video of him letting out his Mad Max side.

Well I must get off to bed.  Have to work tomorrow.  Hoping for more than two hours of sleep tonight.
