70th Birthday Cards

old scrapbook pages

Vegas

2 weeks from today I am going to meet my mom and sister in Vegas.  We are staying in the Paris Hotel.  At Archiver's they had this awesome Paris Sample card for the month of August.  I decided to try something new and created this card for me and my mom and my sister.  It was a little card to get us excited for our trip.

I used Glimer Mist and crackle paint for the first time.  It took a few times but I think it ended up great.  So Cute.  First I stamped the tower, clocks and other images.  Then I sprayed the glimer mist and after that dried I used crackle paint on just the tower image.  It was a little messy but all worth it.  I will get better with my glimmer mist skills as I use my craft room and the nice table space set up for stamping/embossing and misting. 

That's all for this Labor Day evening!

Welcome to my blog

I am starting this Blog to help share my creations.  My husband has just created a wonderful craft room for me in our basement.  I can't wait to dive into it and create.  I told Eric on Saturday when I was down there wrapping a present for my nephew "I'm never coming up...I love my craft room"  I feel like my dad in the way he loves his basement with his trains. 

Here are 2 projects I made this week.  These are for calendar page contests at my work.  I got January and Sept.
