Happy Monday all!!

 How is it going??  What is new?  I have another NEW creation for you, thanks to IVA, over at the fabulous store, OH SCRAP!!  This one is from Alley Way stamps!!  Such, CA-ute images, I am tellin’ ya!!  If you have not visited OH SCRAP!, you need to!  Iva has AWESOME stamps and GREAT shipping prices!!  Cannot beat it!

I am just so thankful that I am back at crafting again!  It has been interesting these past 6 months or so.  To say the least!  Between health issues, kids activities, new job, and all the other things that go along with life?  Although things are slowing down to a COMFORTABLE pace?  They still don’t know what is wrong with me!!!  Gotta love THAT!!  What can I say?  I guess I am just..........difficult!!  Haha!  Or....unique?!!  yeah, that’s it!  I will go with UNIQUE!!    Anyway, I feel SO out of the loop!!  Could you all fill me in?  What is new and exciting?!  Tell me about a NEW product you have found!!  Tell me about a new book you have found?  A new movie?  I don’t care!!  Bring it on!!  
OK, I am DONE babbling..............for now!  Haha!  I than k you SO, SO much for hanging out with me today!!  Check out my creation, hope you like it, and I will see you next time!!  BUT, remember..............as I ALWAYS say.........ENJOY LIFE!!  We are only here once!!

CREATION:
AW Sittin’ Pretty, AW Jibber Jabber, Memento Tuxedo Ink, Copics, Three Bugs in a Rug “Frisky” DSP,Charcoal Card Stock, Georgia Pacific White Card Stock,Grey & white Bakers Twine, Action Wobblers, Petite Ovals & Petite Scallop Ovals Spellbinders.

HOW TO:
First, as always, I used my DSP to choose my Copics.  Then I chose my Charcoal cardstock, for my base, followed by stamping my kitty onto the Georgia Pacific White card stock and coloring it in with my copics.  After that was done, I cut down my DSP and layered it on my charcoal base.  Once that was ready, I used my spellbinders to cut out my image and the charcoal layering piece.  I put everything,  together with my ATG gun, leaving the main focal image for last!  I tied some twine around it all,stamped my sentiment and little mouse, then attached my kitty with an action wobbler!!  I LOVE kitty's, can you tell?!!  You need to head over to the OH SCRAP! store and get some super cute stamps, along with action wobblers ( of course) for your very own!!

OH SCRAP.... HAS NINE LIVES!!

Good morning friends!!  How are you?  I hope you all had wonderful holidays!!  SO excited you stopped by!  I actually have a creation to share with you!  Can you believe it??  Yes, yes......I was at the old craft table!!  Thanks to the AWESOME Iva Youngs at OH SCRAP!!  I got to PLAY with some NEW Paper Smooches stamps!!  The set I used today is called NINE LIVES!! Now, if you have not visited OH SCRAP!?  You must!!  LOTS of goodies to be had in her shop!!  In fact, so much so?  This project is the FIRST of many I have in store for you!!  Gotta LOVE that!!  You all know how I LOVE to share!!  So, enough babbling.........check out my creation below!!  I have all the DEETS there too!!  Thanks again for hanging out with me today!!  See you next time!!  ENJOY LIFE!!

CREATION:

PS Nine Lives, Kraft Cardstock, October Afternoon DSP, Spellbinders Labels 2 Die,Brown Jute Twine, TH Distress Ink Walnut Stain & Peeled Paint,Believe Charm.

HOW TO:

I used my paper cutter and Big Kick to cut out my DSP, so I could layer it.  The top DSP piece was done with my Spellbinders Label 2 Die.  I adhered the bottom layer with my ATG gun.  And.....after I brushed the edges of the top layer DSP, with walnut stain, I popped it up with some pop dots on top of the first layer!  I then stamped the super cute kitty in walnut stain as well, onto my kraft cardstock, and stamped the sentiment with the peeled paint.  I added some walnut stained paws and then used brown jute twine, along with a little "believe "charm to complete my creation.  Hope you like it as much as I do!!
