Up to August 2010

So, now that we finally have some good weather, I have to spend it wisely-er than I have been. I really need to get my house painting DONE. Pretty close now. So, I don't get much time for this any more. I just sneak it in on Sunday:)

Stitch Away



I love Bakers Twine now. I was a little hesitant at first because I have really liked using waxy flax. Close To My Heart came out with a ruler with little holes in it for using a piercing tool. You can choose any increment, so I chose one that was three apart. I really like the stitched look. Since I bought a spool of the blue twine, I didn't worry about using so much:) I also pulled out my embossing powder that has been stashed for too long. I used some silver powder that I bought when I was 18. It is so smooth when it melts! Most of the brands that are around now are a little chunky or don't melt together as much. I wish I could still get that brand. OH! AND! I got to use my new chevron stamp from Impress on the title letters. I am falling into the chevron craze.

Never too old for coloring

My nephew recently told his daddy that he was done coloring 'cause that was for little kids. Hmmm. I STILL like coloring;) ...especially with my Copics. This stamp was loaned to me by Katie and she reminded me of Hawaii. So cute. I used some Stampin' Up paper that has been stashed for a few years. I also "had" to glitter up the button on there, line the envelope and add some GellyRoll sparkle pen to outline the layers. It makes me smile!
