Happy New Year

Sorry, I haven't posted. My cable/internet was out for 3 days. WOW did I miss the internet. I will post a new tip of the week tomorrow and a few pics of creations.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

Troy Jr. High School

This past Thursday, I had the pleasure of being invited to Troy Jr. High School and teaching 36 students a few distressing techniques. Each girl received a a mini stamp pad that I made and a small My Acrylics Stamp. They really enjoyed learning how to use the stamps and distressing the papers. I hope to be invited back, and one group of girls made me a very nice Thank You card.

If any of the girls visit and see this please post a comment,

Card Puzzler Swap

I was part of a Card Puzzler Swap. Each person designs a card, then cuts exact pieces and sends them to everyone. Each person then uses the pieces they received and makes a card (you have no idea what the original design is) and send it back to the creator. You are not allowed to alter the patterned paper or card stock except by distressing or folding. You may alter any stamped images and add at least one embellishment. It was a lot of fun.

Hi

Just wanted to check in and say Hi and I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Halloween Treat Bag Toppers

As Promised here is a pic of my Treat Bag Toppers. They were 3x3 and I stapled them on the tops of little 3x4 bags filled with treats. I used all CTMH products. I used Colonial cardstock and the Little Spooks stamp set. I stamped the outline of the Mummy in Brown Bag and the others in Black. I used our water color pencils with a blending pen. I made 25 of each and I placed a printed label on the back advertising my CTMH business.

What's been going on

Well, I have been very busy. Making treat bags for beggars night which is tomorrow night. I am making 100 of them. I will post pics of the bag toppers on Tues.

Went to a Halloween dance at the VFW on Sat. and I dressed as " Brutus" the OSU mascot. We had loads of fun.

I am still working on creating a new header, and I am debating on keeping my website and/ or possibly getting a CTMH site. I really just don't know what to do.

Fall is in the air, it is a lovely 55 degrees in OH. The trees are turning and the leaves are falling. The air is crisp and smells heavenly!

Have a wonderful day!

Name Change

I am changing the name of my blog to Bloo Moo Creations.
This is the name of my scrapping for others business. Banner and color changes will happen after Oct. and the think pink breast cancer awareness is over.

Getting ready for the holidays

Well, I completed a technique card swap, I am sending out my puzzler swap, getting ready to make my treat toppers for beggars night and wanting to start working on my Christmas Cards design for this season.

I am wanting to post pictures, if I can figure out how to do a slide show (not having much success :(

Well, I off to visit other blogs and see if I can add them to my blog as favorites.

Have a great day!

Suprise visitors

Today started out as a ho-hum day and turned out terrific!!!
I had surprise vistors today.
I am an in-home child care provider and I had a family that we became very close with. Their little girl was in my care for 5 yrs and we became like family. They had to move due to Dad being promoted, and it is 4 hrs. away. We get to see them every now and then. They now have 3 daughters and I had not seen the lastest one that was born in Nov.
Well, Mom and the 3 girls showed up today and it was a great visit. The girls are all darling and getting big. I was very sad to see them leave.

Take care and have a great weekend!

Testing images

This was very easy to do. I think I will stick with this blog site.

Swaps completed!

Well, I finally finshed my Tech. swaps and shipped them out yesterday. I had to change one of my tech choices from bleaching to kissing, because I had major problems with bleaching. I could not for the life of me get it to work right. I stamped an image, then embossed it, and painted bleach over the top, hoping to bleach out the neg. space. It didn't work, it just made the inked image bleed and bleached it out. Very strange.

Then I tried using a bleach pen and stamping an image with bleach and all it did was dry.

So I changed to the kissing tech. which truned out very cool!

Thanks for reading!

Loving the weekend!

I am so eager for the weekend to start. It should be a relaxing one....FINALLY!
I am going to the winery tonight with my parents and other family.

My daughter and I are spending most of Sat. with some friends, we are going to see some exotic animals at a local animal farm (I will get to pet Llamas (I love Llamas!) and see kangaroos, and a giraffe!) Not common animals to Ohio.

Sunday myself, daughter and my Mom are cooking breakfast at the VFW for all of the Father's and then I will spend the day creating paper crafts and having a cookout with Dad!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT weekend!

My first post :0)

Welcome to my first blog post!
Well, what am I creating at this time????

I am working on a technique swap: I have 3 categories that I am creating and I have to make 11 of each one.
Punches (I have finished this one), Toilet Paper casting (I am currently waiting for my TP to dry LOL) and Bleaching (I have a really great design for this one.)

I am involved in an ongoing Card Puzzler swap. This has been so much fun. Someone sends you pieces to a card and you try to figure out what matches their design. It is great to see what all of the other ladies come up with. Everyone is so creative.

I will post pics of my first 2 cards and the punches technique card ater this week.
