Surprise!! Im back with More!!

Hey everyone!! I was so crafty last night that I got a project  done that has been setting around since  last April....   :)      It was a message board I picked up for a couple dollars at a (lets just call it a huge Garage sale her in my town) for my local readers it is called (RAGS)  put on by the rotary club. Love going to this every year and always find something cool!!  So on to what I did to the message board,(Sorry, No before Photo) The board had a sticker on it and said (Roseart) One side Metal, the other a felt like material. I had all materials already here in my craft room so I was set!! So for those that remember I did a challenge back when I was a Cricut Circle Member and joined a challenge  http://ibecircled.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-entry-for-cricut-circle-blog-monthly.html This is the post I had here on my blog..The fabric is the left over from this. I have to admit that I am not a sewer  at all, so it really surprised me to even succeed In this form of craft. And to quilt this   LOL (Smile) It is not perfect but, I like it!! I had acrylic paint in green and purple, ribbon from Joann's, a Paper Bow, A friend made me the Green paper bow!! (Thanks Debbie!) I went a step further and had fabric still left and covered a plastic basket and two cardboard boxes that came from my blinds that are in my room and covered them as well   :)!! So they all coredenate  well and look good!! So there ya have it!! Enjoy and hope to see ya very,very soon!!   (Big Smile)

You might be aking what is in those? Cards that I have  made and some I have received!

Thank You To My New and current faithful followers!!

Yes I know that I have been Missing in action....It is just life that gets in the way and also the interface here is very intimidating to me. So how have I been you may ask? I started a new journey in my life, (well maybe 2)  ;)   I started a new job, When I say new I mean I have never been a Cashier in a Grocery store before. I knew pretty much what to expect, being a cashier in a craft store. It has been quite a fun journey so far! And I have just recently Signed up to be a Stampin Up Demonstrator  :)   So Not really sure how far I will go with it, Would love to go far!! Time will tell! So it looks like I might be starting another blog just for my stampin up. No this does not mean I will be taking this one down, by no means!! I love you all and so Appreciate all your thoughtful loving comments and Will really try hard to keep this blog current, If anyone has any suggestions on how to get your reading list to show all my current followers activities , that would be great!! So now I bet your wondering where is some of the projects that I have been making and not posting? OK, I Will post as many as I can on this post and get some more done tomorrow!

 This card was made with Glitter Ritz, I have made cards with it before and posted here.

 This one was so easy, I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder (thank you) and just chalked over the words!

I made this for my friend Shirley, She is the one that has problems with her blog,that I posted about. It was her Birthday in September. I just cut out the saying with my cricut and used black Vinyl. put some decorative pretty grass inside with battery operated lites you can pick up at any craft store. The pink flowers are velum stickers, I believe they are Jolee's? Tied a pretty pink Sheer Ribbon around it and there you have it! Oh one small thing,Notice that the "A" in AND is missing...  LOL It some how got stuck to one of the batteries when I was installing them  :) I used the Negative of the vinyl and did Etching on   a vase for her. Hope you like it, I know she did!!

This is a card I made for my Brother-in-law for his birthday this month. It is a $1 stamp from joanns craft store, Love them and some scrap decorative cardboard, not sure where it cam from but it's cool. stamped the zig zag down both sides and there you have it the in side is nice too!!

Tomorrow back to the craft Room! Working on finishing the Princess Party Decorations!! 

EDITED------Just when I thought I was finished--------Yes I am still trying to..

Hey all my faithful followers!! I am really trying hard to keep posting here and need all the support I can get!! I have been working on some birthday party decorations for my neighbor girl that is turning 4 next week end..Thought I should share them before I forget. Still need to add a flag to the top of the castles, but I was surprised how easy they were to put together. I used the Once upon a princess cartridge for the castle and the banner is cuts from celebrations cartridge. I am not really happy with how the banner turned out but guess I will settle with it...Running out of time. I am so happy that you took the time to drop by and please leave me a comment So I know you came to see my Blog!!  

     Before                                                                          

So today I got a brilliant Idea to make the castle look like it really had a foundation and this is what I came up with!!
I used a 12x12 piece of chipboard and covered it with some brown card stock. I had some green grass looking stuff that I found at the goodwill. and started covering the board and went around the castle with it. Then that was not enough I thought, it needed a bridge for the gate, and then comes the water for under the bridge,I had some prismatic paper that i had picked up a while back at wal mart, it looks like water! so I took some gold paper and formed a little bridge....then a railing for the bridge, I used paperdoll dress up cartridge for the railing(cut at 1 1/2 inches) and added a fence all the way around it,added more grass around the fence. Oh did I mention that I added Flags to it!! I am very excited for Peyton to see her princess things!! Now I am working on the little gift bags that go with everything. Carri I hope that I will be able to make it to her party!!

                                                                            After

  Oh and whats a castle with out a Princess, cut at 3 1/2 inches with (Once Upon A Princess Cartridge)> I have a good friend that might be making a carriage for this but  not sure if it will be done in time? That's all, and I am Proud of this and sometimes I have good Ideas and they go together so good and sometimes not...LOL Today was a good Crafting Day!! Thanks for stopping by!!
