Computer dead!

My computer is dead for now. I have to use my husbands laptop and can't add any artwork here. I hope to be able to get back soon but don't know how long it will take to hopefully get it repaired.

Christmas Tags for swap

I am also into a swap for Christmas tags. I have already done one set but didn't scan or take a photo of them. Here is another set that I have done and really do like these. Hope you enjoy them.

Twinchies I have made

These all were made using both Stampin' Up! and Club Scrap products. These are for a swap I have signed up for. They are so much fun to make.

Courage Chunky Swap

I did this swap with some ladies on Paperartistsonline.com. We were to place 5 objects in a baggie and do 5 sets. Then were then sent to the other members who signed up for it. I just got my 5 back and had to show them to you. The scanner does not do them justice and I may have to take pictures so you can see them better. I had a ball doing this swap and can't wait to do the next one. The finished pieces are 4 x 4 and when you recieved the baggie you were to work on you had to incorporate all 5 items from the baggie. You could add anything else or alter the piece however you wanted. Aren't they just fantastic!!!

More Ornaments

I had lots of leftover pieces after doing my snowflakes so I pulled out my Stampin' Up! Magnetic Movers & Shapers Ornament die and made some of them to go with my snowflakes. I even pulled out a small tree and hung my ornaments on it. These were fun to make and didn't take long.

Christmas Tree Ornaments

Here are some of the Ornaments that I am working on as gifts. I don't have any of my trees out yet so I can't show them hanging up. I will remedy that soon. The top glass ornament uses Stampin' Up!s snowflake punch and designer paper with some filler inside the ornament.

The bottoms ones use the large Snowflake Die and I have used several of the Designer papers from Stampin' Up! for these. They are colorful on both sides.
A piece of designer paper was run through the Xyron and then adhered to the Thick Window Sheets from Stampin' Up! before using the large Snowflake Die #2. I did this to give them more body. Then on the paper side I used Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. Once the first coat was dry I went over it again with Crystal Effects so they would really stand out. They look much prettier in person and I am sure to make a lot more. So these will go to the family at Christmas. Hope you like them.

Time to Catch Up!

There has just been so much going on. I feel I will not be able to keep as active here as what I had but will be checking in at least once a week. I have started going around to the wonderful blogs and seeing the terrific art work you have been producing. I will try and get a few things posted over the weekend.

I also feel very pleased that since January I have lost 50 pounds and should reach my goal weight this week. I feel ever so much better and will be posting a new photo soon. Have a great day my friends.
