Hi Everyone,
I have been wanting to enter the Tim Holz 12 Tags of---- whatever year it is for a long time, and in this case 2016.

Talk about the last minute- I don't know what happened with January but I thought I had another week until February 1. 

I used TH stamp seamless experience and the circles embossing folder

I used DCWV chalk card stock 

Clear embossing powder and then I rubbed chalk over it.

The crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART

Hi Everyone, 



I was so thrilled this am when My computer started. I shut it down last night forgetting that I was going to leave it on. So I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Don't you just love my Bee - I think I have finally conquered cutting stamped images with my dies. I have watched so many videos over and over and I am very pleased with how this came out!!
I went to Michael's last weekend and had a paper shopping spree all their paper was on sale and I bought more--- eeks!!!! I think I should open up my own physical paper store. I don't know what it is with paper, but I am sure, I am not the only one. 

Do you have a paper addiction?
How many pads of paper do you have right now?

 I used recollections Valentines 2016 pad,  I love it. My bee and stamp set are from Verve "The Buzz" I used copics RV011 to color the bee and hive, then I inked it with CTMH eggplant

I am playing along with the MOJO Monday Challenge here is the sketch

Here is my card from yesterday.  I am on a Valentine roll this week.

Hi Everyone,

Last week was very busy, my Mother -in- law ended up in the hospital for the third time since Thanksgiving and it was not looking real good. We have been gone for the better part of last week and got home late Sunday. She is doing better, but not 100%. When I went to turn on my computer, it would not start, so I took it to the computer guy. He had it for a couple of days and said nothing was wrong with it. I took it home hooked it up and it would not start. this went on for a day. This morning I said please start tapped the on button and it started right up.

In case you missed me or wondered where I have been that is why.

I can not do posts with my tablet, for one thing all my photos are on my hard drive--- I think I should back up everything real soon. What do you think?

As you know I released  the Valentine bundle  a couple of weeks ago, and I am extending the 14 % off until Valentine's day.  You can order it through my DL.ART store and  you can use this code  VB21416 on the Valentine bundle for 14% off now through February 13, 2016 at 11:59pm PST

In case you missed the release of the Mermaid Tale Third Edition bundle here it is again...

I have a very quick video here for you, because sometimes a photo just does not show the great colors in these bundles.  This is the new Mermaids Tale third edition.  The colors are
orange -green hue and green hue. This is such a pretty combo. This was a happy accident, I was going for a totally different bundle and this happened. The green hue was planned, once I came up with the orange/ green hue and to my surprise that even came out better than my intentions. I sure hope you like it.

I am hoping to get everything back in stock this week, but it depends on how long it stays in stock. It takes awhile to make the bundles as I make each 5 yards at a time, although I do several 5 yard batches at a time. Some of the bundles take a couple of days to make due the colors I am trying to achieve. My goal is that you are happy with the crinkle ribbon that you purchase. I do quality control with each bundle and if there are major flaws I don't sell it. The fabric is natural and will have normal variations in it.

Hi Everyone,
We have been so fortunate to have an abundance of rain. We love it, and the best thing is, we get one day of rain and then one day of no rain, so it has time to soak into the ground. What a blessing.

The butterfly is from spellbinders and I got that last year at the scrapbook EXPO last year I just love it. The flower is from Prima. My cardstock is from Anna Griffin and DCWV. Everything else is scrap stuff.

Hi Everyone,

Well Valentine's day will be here before you know it. I am working on a few cards Gifts Projects ahead of time. The stamp set  I used is from Verve the, The cardstock is pure poppy and Stamper's select white from PTI and the heart was from a box of scraps. The strip of silver tape was given to me by my friend Katie. This is a matchbook that measures finished 4 X 3 3/4, it is a good size and will hold some nice goodies whether it be candy, coupons or notepaper. The idea came from Lexi, I used my ATG gun to glue everything together

Here are the measurements-- cut a piece of cardstock 4 x 8 1/2 score one end 3/4" from this score line score 4"  and then from the 4" score a 1/4 "
or if you do not get this

score from one end of paper 3/4" - 4 3/4" 5" then fold score lines easy peasy.

Hi Everyone,

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

I used the "Enjoy the Seasons" Imagine cartridge. I had not used this machine in awhile and it took me quite a while to get it calibrated and for the ink to come out sharp. The crinkle ribbon I used is whipped cream from My "Creamy Dreamy" bundle. The Thanks is from Verve

Hi Everyone,

Doesn't it seem like we always need thank you cards?

I certainly love this Window die cut and stamps from MCT.

Emma is having a 5th Anniversary release this week it should be a lot of fun.

Here is a close up of the window. I Used quite a mix of papers.

Graphics 45, Basic grey and DCWV

To the thanks I added a few hints of gold at the edges, I went very light and it is very subtle. I used a gel and roll pen (from a huge set that I have had for awhile)

Have a blessed day, Diana
