Friday Night Scrapbooking Begins!!!!

Tonight is FNS!!!
It seems like forever since I had my group of ladies here to scrapbook :)
To start the day off on the right creative foot, my friend Sharon, came by and picked me up for an early morning shopping trip to Michaels.

It is always an open invitation when I have these nights :)
I know a few ladies are squeezing in the last of their camping season.
Tomorrow is the start of hunting season, so that is why we always close up the cottage when we do.

Off to put away my new purchases and get the table ready for my friends.
I hope you all had a very Creative Day :)
Oh by the way…this is a card I had made a while ago, when I was on the LBBS Design Team. Click the link if you want more details on this card "Crafting with Miss Lilly" :)

Steampunk Jessica on a Tracy's Tag

Today is my DT day for Little Blue Button Stamps :)
I chose Steampunk Jessica.
I just adore this image. I love the steampunk theme.


The project that I am sharing with you is a tag I created.
I came up with this idea a few years ago and even hosted a swap.
One of my YouTube followers calls them "Tracy's Tags"...I kind of like that name ;)
To learn more about these tags you can check out my Video

Here is a closer look at Steampunk Jessica :)
I had fun with her and if you don't like the Steampunk theme, you could colour her any way you want.
I have used the Steampunk Debutante papers from Graphic 45. I really like these papers...well except for the mechanical leg...I just can't bring myself to use those papers, lol.
























I used my much loved Copic markers and here are the colours for this image.
I see a few in the middle have a glare to them. They are E50, E31 and Y28,

I decorated the top of the tag with some flowers and a stamp from the paper collection.
I also added a fun dress form paper clip :)

The fun part of these tags is that you get two projects in one ;)
I use those window envelopes that you get with your bills, and give them a new life.
A lot prettier and enjoyable life then the would have had before, teehee.
If you want to check out some of my older tags that I had made for my swap, take a peek at this video :)
























I hope you all have had a very Creative Tuesday :)

DT Day.....Miss Lilly Pretty Lady

Guess what day it is?
It is my Design Team day for Little Blue Button Stamps :)
I made another paper bag card.
I really had fun making the masculine one for my Father in Law, but I wanted to make a girly one.
I think this is girly..don't you ;)

The image I used for this card is Miss Lilly Pretty Lady.
I think she is so sweet and I love her little heart on her purse :)

Look what I remembered to do....share the Copic colours I used for this cute image :)
When I take a photo of the colours I used, I always add the image so I know which card these colours go with...or I would be surely be posting the wrong ones, lol.





















I used a pretty sparkly flower and added  two stick pins and dangled a heart charm (to match her purse) from the flower :)

The inside of the paper bag card.
No gift card in this one, but I put in a sentiment on the pull out tab.
I have a message to go on the right panel, but I have already wrote the message, so I didn't attach it.
I am going to add some goodies to the pocket part :)

Lets take another look at this adorable Miss Lilly :)
I am sending this card out to a special person who has touched my heart.
I am just in awe how so many people can be so kind and caring and I have never met them in person.
That is a great thing about the internet and these social media places, so many people that you can connect to that you couldn't before because of distance and never being able to meet.

I hope you all have had a creative Sunday :)

Little Blue Button Stamp Surprise :)

I was so excited when I saw this package in the mail today.
I actually squealed and clapped my hands. I may have even jumped a few times :)
Yes I get overly excited about certain things.

If you haven't heard Olga's digital images have been picked up from CC Designs and are now produced in Red Rubber :)

Onto My Day:
I wanted to colour her up as soon as I opened up the package, but I am still working on my flower beds. Then I needed a much needed nap after dinner.
As for my flower bed in the front. I totally cleaned it out, except for the massive cedar bush.
When I went to the garden center I had told the lady what I was doing and for her opinion.
She suggested I move the cedar bush as it is taking the nutrients from the soil and the roots are chocking out the other plants. That is why my plants are so stunted.
Well guess what my big job is going to be tomorrow?

I hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)

Colouring cause I want to.

I felt like colouring tonight.
I was busy most of the day, but tonight as we sat down to watch some telley I really wanted to get out my Copics.
This is a Little Blue Button Stamps image.
It isn't my DT day, but I just wanted to colour up this cutie.

I have no idea what I am going to do with her.
I was thinking of putting her in my planner, as I printed her off pretty tiny, about 2.5".
I may put a card stock mat behind her and punch holes to put her in the rings of my planner.
Here is a closer look at her.
Why is it when I take a close up photo and not until I upload it do I find the flaws in my colouring?























Look what greeted me this morning when I went to check the mail.
A lunar moth.
This one looks like he just nearly escaped being breakfast as his tail has been chomped on.























Onto My Day:
I did a bit more cleaning today.
Had to take Kristy for a follow up about the headaches she has been getting.
I think the doctor was correct in saying it was her sinuses as she has only had 3 headaches since she was there after taking the medicine he prescribed.
I also got him to take a look at Kristy's hand. When she was at her friends house last night, their dog bit her. I was not impressed. Even though Kristy made light of it. The doctor said it looks fine and should heal up nicely.

Heather has been watching Hannibal and wanted Wayne and I to check it out.
The girls are always getting Wayne and I to watch the shows they enjoy.
I like it, not sure if I love the characters yet, but I think its worth the watch so far.

I hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)
Do you create just for the fact/fun of creating?
Or do you need a purpose in order to create?
