Hannah Montana/The Jonas Bro.

Took my daughter and her b/f to the Hannah Montana/The Jonas Bro's concert this weekend. OH MY GOSH>
First of all, where did this girl learn how to move like that?? My daughter I mean! Dang that girl can DANCE!
They had the best time ever and I had a ball just watching them scream, dance and freak out over Joe Jonas! My 6yr'old's new crush! Here are a few pic's from the concert.
PS: This is going to be a crazy week, but I am hoping after this week, things will settle down and I will get back in my craft room (which is collect cobwebs at the moment) and make up something new to show you all! Thanks for sticking with me!
Oh...ok, they are not letting me put pictures up for some reason tonight. I will get them up later tonight or tomorrow.

No new art work for today. You have to actually get into the craft room to make the art work! LOL

Front:

4 more to go before blog candy!!
Tonight I am posting a little Halloween folder album I made. I participated in a Halloween swap on Simone's blog. (Daily Dozz of Spazz on the right).
We had to spend $15 on Halloween stuff, and also send one homemade item. And this is the homemade item I made for my swap partner. (I gotta get this thing in the mail tomorrow!!)
It is made out of a regular manilla folder. I used all Rusty Pickle pattern Paper. CTMH stamps and Autumn Leaves for the dates.
I really wanted to decorate one of those clear paint can's, but was not sure how I would mail it!!
Anyway, I have a little tab for the last few years starting with 2002 and ending with this year. She can put a picture or journaling there if she would like. Then on the other inside flap, there are 3 parts. I have the green piece, she can put a photo on, opens up to the orange piece, (another photo) opens up to a little hidden journaling square.
Hope she likes it! Thanks for looking!

2 cards

Just two quick cards today. The first one I made for my son's best friend. They take Kuk Sool Won together. I used the same color and stamp as I did for the Make it Monday. I like that stamp. It is the first time I have used it. It is from CTMH. Paper was CTMH also.
And the second card was the one I made for my in-laws 40th anniversary. I used Crate Paper and CTMH stamps for the #40. I used the same paper so that it would match the canvas I made them. Pretty simple, that's about all I've been up to. Thanks for looking.

Make It Monday

Just an FYI, this is my 94th post! Look for some blog candy when I get to 100!!

Today's Make It Monday is called the Reflection Technique. To start with you will need a stamp, some ink, cardstock and a piece of Acetate. Now, I did not have any acetate. So I improvised, as we in the craft world tend to do. I used clear packing tape! Just folded over so there was no sticky side.

First thing you will want to do is stamp your image on the cardstock.

Next you will stamp your image (same image) on the acetate. Or in my case, clear packing tape. It was a bit slippery to stamp on the tape, but would not be on the acetate. Just be careful not to slide your image if you are using tape as I did.

Next, you will take your acetate and flip it over so that the image you stamped is facing down. Lining it up with your stamped image on the cardstock and gently rub. Your image will come off onto the cardstock.

You can now decorate your card as you wish. Beate did a wonderful tutorial on this over on Splitcoast stampers that I would highly suggest checking out.

And here is my finished card.
Enjoy and thanks for tuning in!

Thursday Oct. 4th

I actually got a few things done today. In addition to getting all the paper cut for my party this weekend, I got this big wooden paper clip made for a friend.
I also got a sample made of the book mark we are making at my party this weekend. I am not doing a traditional bookmark. I am using big metal paperclips. I thought they turned out cute. They are really easy to throw together. Hope the gals' like them!

And here is the other Christmas card I promised you yesterday. I finally got it to down load right!

Have a great weekend everyone! Thanks for looking.

2 Christmas Cards

I got two cards done today. I made them because I was hoping to show off the Close To My Heart stamp of the month to the customers that will be at my mom's party this weekend. But alas, I had to give them stamp set back to it's rightful owner! LOL
So I made up two cards quick using the stamp set so people can get a better idea of how big (or small) the set is and what it looks like stamped.
The first card I made regular size. Using Cranberry, black and Ponderosa Pine cardstock. I used colored pensils and gel pens to color in the sliegh.
The second card for some reason did not load into my computer right and is only showing half of itself! I guess it's shy! I'll try to get it up tomorrow. Also hoping to get more done in my craft room tomorrow. Wow, it might just be a red letter week! LOL
