I'm probably the only one laughing but that's ok, they always said laughter is the best medicine so if you are around me at all you should be good and healthy!!!<br />
<br />
So my Easel Does It post is about a new style of easel card I made. At first it was tricky making sure everything went where it belonged but when it was done, WOWZERS, I love love love it!!! Hope you will too!!!<br />
<br />
So, I made a combo fold card and easel card. Here the card is closed and has it's "belt" around it.<br />

<br />
So this album was a long time coming. I actually spent a day working on it at the retreat I went to in February with TCS and came home to set it aside and not work on it again until last week when I finally finished it. I adore this book and it matches yesterday's frame which both were gifts to Marissa for baby Adam. I won't chatter too much about the book because this post is going to be long as is. I used Simple Stories Baby Step papers, misc ribbon, album from Maya Road, lots of embellies from MR, seam binding, googlie eyes, glossy accents, stickles, metal embellies from Tim Holtz, bakers twine, stick pins, canvas pieces, glitter, gems, stamps, TH Distress Crackle Pain Rock Candy, seam binding, and so much more!!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy!!!<br />

Wouldn't you know, the owner of <a href="http://www.thecraftyscrapper.com/">The Crafty Scrapper,</a> Carolyn, taught a class on making these adorable frames and because of the major success they were she called Pink Paislee to order more frames and they had been discontinued!!! I managed to grab myself a couple because I had plans as gifts for them and this is one of them - only a little later than I had anticipated.<br />
<br />
A guy I grew up with and across the street from has a daughter about a year younger than mine. They gave birth about 6 weeks apart - only Cait (my daughter) was close to her due date while his daughter (Marissa) was only 26 weeks pregnant!!! She gave birth to a teeny tiny little guy and named him Adam. I've watched this little guy fight his way to healthy and I just adore spending time with him!!! I think he likes me too because he always smiles and squeals when I hold him!!!<br />
<br />
Anywho, I made this frame using the Simple Stories Baby Step line (Simple Stories is another MFG that I just adore) to match yesterday's album that I posted. I followed the same layout of the frame I posted a while back from Carolyn's class at TCS and luckily was able to borrow the doily die from a friend - think this is one of the TH dies that I need to invest in although it happens to be one of the more expensive dies that I'm just not sure how much I'd use it, we'll see though. <br />

<br />
So most of the year has passed my blog by, not to mention my crafting!!! I finally decided due to health reasons to quit my job - well, I'm not really quitting, I've agreed to stay on if someone is sick and they need someone last minute or for events they need a little help with, etc. I really would like to continue working because I totally love being there but my body doesn't seem to like it much so for now, I'm going to stay home. Well, sorta. I'm planning on spending lots of time at the lake this summer with my husband and dad, hopefully spend some quality time with my grandson, and go to Georgia to help my daughter and her husband by watching Tyler so they can get settled into their new home. My SIL's orders are for August 10th report date so it's coming up quick. <br />
<br />
I did get a little crafting done for GASC here in Arlington. I made these cards to help promote the new paper line that we featured as well as the Magnolia stamps that the store is now carrying!!! Yep, you heard that right, <a href="http://www.thecraftyscrapper.com/">The Crafty Scrapper</a> is now carrying the adorable Magnolia stamps!!! Call the store (see the link for info) and get yours now, Carolyn will even ship them to you!!!<br />
<br />
Anywho, here are my creations for GASC:<br />

Forgive the poor lighting, I snapped this one at night right after I finished it and forgot to get another shot of it in better lighting. This is a simple card using Summer Fresh by Simple Stories. I added some stickles to the sun "beams" and used Chalk White seam binding that I dyed using my TH Distress Stains. Added a few pearls and a mini butterfly from my MS punch and voila, easy and quick card anyone could make!!!</div>

This next card is my fav, fav, fav!!!! I'm using the same Summer Fresh papers by Simple Stories and Little Miss Muu Muu (a Magnolia stamps), along with the background stamp from Magnolia (can't remember the name but I think it's Barbwire Fence or something like that) and a couple mini butterflies from the MS punch. I kept it simple by using more of the seam binding that was dyed with TH Distress Stain and a few pearls. On the inside I added a computer typed sentiment that said "You're Moo-valeous" - yeah, cheesy I know but I cna't help myself......lol.</div>

I used Oceanside by Christine Adolph from Creative Imaginations along with craft cardstock, another Magnolia stamp, pearls, a MS lace punch and some more of that deliciously yummy and totally dyable seam binding - if you haven't tried seam binding and dying it yourself you are so missing out on a fun and easy way to coordinate ribbon with your projects without having to buy yards and yards of ribbon you may or may not ever use. One type of ribbon and voila, your storage solution is that roll!!! </div>

How stinkin' cute is this girl?? Really??? This is Tilda with Wiola by Mangolia. I paired her with papers by Bo Bunny (Little Miss - so fitting for this image) and paper flowers along with a couple stick pins and die cut swirl (TH I think) along with a few gems in the bottom corner. While I'm not totally thrilled with the coloring of this one I adore the image. I'm taking this image to the lake with me so I can try a few different coloring techniques on her and see what I can do. </div>

Again, I apologize for the pic of this last card. I took this one at night as well and didn't think to get a better shot of it. I used the new Glory line by Authentique (don't you just freaking love the Authentique papers, I can't get enough of them!!!), another Magnolia image, paper flowers by Prima (again with the love here, I adore prima flowers), star pin by MR that I used a yellow Copic to color, Grungeboard by TH that I cut into a star and swirl (by TH as well) and then painted and covered in TH Distress Crackle Paint to give it some nice texture. The sentiment was stamped and I think it was from Cloud 9 designs - I have about 6 different sets of Cloud 9 sentiments and I just love them!!!! I used a little bakers twine (did you know that <a href="http://www.thecraftyscrapper.com/">TCS</a> sells this at 15 cents a yard so you don't have to invest in rolls of different colors just to have a variety on hand, buy a few yards of each color and it'll last you a while!!! If you do want a roll they also sell them by a few different MFG's in multiple colors) to finish off a die cut from MFT.</div>

OK, that's all for now. I'm going to attempt to be a better blogger - good luck with that right!!! I will have some more projects to share with you this week including another wooden frame by Pink Paislee, a mini album that I started in February at a retreat and didn't touch again until last week when I finished it up and hopefully some more cards!!!!<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for stoppin' by and leave me a note letting me know you visited!!! I try to respond to everyone and visit your blogs and also add you to my followed blogs so I can continue to be inspired by everyone!!!!<br />

I started this out to be something totally different but by the time I got to looking for pictures the ones of Mom jumped out at me and it all clicked. <br />
<br />
The shadow box and window insert are from 7 Gypsies, paper is Prima Almanac Collection, doo dads are Prima/Maya Road/Tim Holtz/AC/Webster's. I used lots of Glossy Accents and threw in some Stickles here and there for a little glitter.<br />

So much has gone on that I was sure I'd put some of it out here somewhere!!! Guess I'll do a quick recap:<br />
My son-in-law came home from Iraq on 12/23/2011 meaning my daughter and grandson left. The house was very quiet at Christmas. Matter of fact, my husband and I along with my Dad went to Oklahoma to the casino for the day!!! <br />
<br />
New Year's Eve was very uneventful - as usual Dad was in bed by 8 or so leaving me and the hubby to watch TV. I think he ended up playing a video game and I scrapped til right before midnight then we rang the New Year in with a kiss and went to bed...........LOL. I told you very uneventful.<br />
<br />
In February it got cranking a little better. I went to an amazing scrappy retreat and had the most wonderful 4 days of being pampered!!! I set up my stuff on Thursday and spent the weekend doing much of nothing but scrapping, eating amazing food that was cooked for us (meaning no cleaning up for us!!!), getting massages (yeah plural) and sleeping!!! I don't think I left with a single completed project but that isn't anything unusual for me as I tend to stay distracted with numerous projects going at once.<br />
<br />
February also brought about the 20th birthday of my daughter - time sure does fly when having fun!!! I remember back when she was learning to crawl and walk and it seems like yesterday she started her first day of school..............I could so go on!!!!<br />
<br />
On February 29th I was flown out by a client to photograph her nephew's wedding. Cait and Tyler flew out and met me in L.A. and we had an amazing time. Two of our seven days were spent with me working the pre-wedding and wedding day photographs but other than that we got to see a lot of neat things including Hollywood, Graumann's Chinese Theater, The Queen Mary, beaches and so much more!!!! <br />
<br />
March 7th I flew home and was blessed to bring the little man home with me. That's right, this gramma got to indulge in some serious spoiling for what was supposed to be just a week but because my son-in-law's leave got jacked around because of stupid stuff I had Tyler with me a whole month!!! I admit I'm not as young as I used to be and while I thoroughly enjoyed having so much time with him, he sure wore this gramma out!!! <br />
<br />
During March my son also came to stay with us and spend some time. It was nice having him here and seeing how much he has grown and matured into a pretty responsible young man. Don't get me wrong, he's still a putz and has a lot more growing to do but he really has made this mama proud :) I took him to get his license while he was here so it was fun riding with him and seeing him gain the confidence he needed to drive on his own.<br />
<br />
Cait and Jeff finally got to come the first week of April to get Tyler and spend a week with us. We had a house FULL but it was so totally worth it. I had both my kids and my sweetness (grandbaby) with me for Easter!!! <br />
<br />
I sit here in quiet as everyone has finally gone back to their respective homes. Rob is on the other computer, Dad is in bed and I'm staring at a huge mess of a scrap room that needs some serious attention including purging of about 6 boxes of clothes that I've been putting off but they are too big and I need to just rid myself of them and get ready to buy new clothes as I continue to lose weight (not to mention I need to get my scrap stuff straightened up and put a bed back in here for company).<br />
<br />
I have lots of pictures to share from the beginning of the year til now and will do so as I try to get back into the habit of blogging which, with some more me time to craft should be easy to do as I post projects. <br />
<br />
Thanks for always stopping by to see what I'm doing and I can't wait to show off my sweetness, family and projects!!! Happy Scrappin'!!!!Karen Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02933429486072759730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466231423698019899.post-39198732418702333992011-12-31T20:35:00.001-07:002011-12-31T20:35:14.381-07:00Like a Cake...............done!!!! That would be the status of my participation in Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas!!! Tag 9 is done which was the last one needed to complete my first year of tags!!!!<br />
<br />
I have to admit, I wasn't a big tag fan before. I've seen what Tim does and always thought it was neat but so not me. While I don't think I would have come up with the combos on these tags that he did, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Not only do I have 12 cute tags to use as a Christmas display for many years to come, I learned many new techniques that I hope to carry forward into my work AND, this is the fun part, I expanded my scrap supplies by investing in several new dies and stamps so I could complete several tags (on others I had to get my boss to cut, stamp or emboss for me since they were not available for purchase at our store at the time). <br />
<br />
Enough jabbering, here is the final tag needed to complete the 12!!!<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for stopping by, happy scrappin and<br />
<br />
<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! <br />

This was by far NOT the best Christmas ever. Drama. Missing Mom. Missing my kids and grand baby. You know, growing pains of my family making changes. <br />
<br />
But now that it is over I decided I needed to get my TH 12 Tags of Christmas done and behind me so we can move on with 2012. <br />
<br />
Tag 12 here. This one was quite interesting to make. I improvised on many things that I didn't have but it works. I also hot glued the skin off BOTH, yes both, of my thumbs. It's quite hard to type on my phone with charred thumbs LOL. <br />
<br />
Take a look at tag 12 and if you've joined in on the fun leave me a note. I'd love to visit your blogs and see what you have done. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!!!!<br />

I am back to working on my TH 12 tags of Christmas!!! I've had so many other projects going that these had to be put on the back burner. <br />
<br />
Overnight I was able to get this one whipped out - I state now, I am NOT a fan of this one. While the technique was fun and using embossing powder on top of metal was pretty cool, I just don't care for the overall look of tis card. <br />
<br />
Regardless, tag 6 is done and now I only need to do 9 and 12 to be finished with 2011's tags. Then......I am gonna make an attempt at starting Christmas cards for 2012 since I failed miserably at getting them mailed this year!!!! In between that and the other bajillion projects I have floating around in my head I will work on past years tags just for the fun of it :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!!!<br />

<br />
So, my dad comes home tonite and asks, knowing the answer is no before he asks, if we have any extra loose Christmas cards laying around. This year has been a tough year on us as a family and I'm guilty of not buying or making any cards to send out. <br />
<br />
Regardless of that, my dad needed cards for work and he knew all he had to do was say the word and I'd get right to work on them. <br />
<br />
My card features a new stamp company to our store and a new stamp company to me. LaBlanche stamps out of Germany have manufactured some amazingly detailed stamps including this jolly Santa on my card. <br />
<br />
I kept the creation of this card simple since I needed 5 of them tonite. I originally reached for my Manolia stamps but realized all the coloring needed for those would make it near impossible to create 5 cards (I'm easily distracted LOL). Anywho, Bazzill card stock, KaiserCraft DP, scrap ribbon, Copic markers, TH Distress inks and a couple hours later, VOILA!!!<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear what you think of this quick and easy card as well as the image - the minute I saw him I knew he had to be mine!!! <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by, happy scrappin and Merry Christmas to you all!!! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ_VnQZmk7vg864Qti0Y1vlCZkzQhAaNJp-3DDRNezn8pLqfsbxiXigqKI2rcjmdHEX4wKSboKKaSUfPzKPc0vlx65dy9lTPa7fQ0pcSmxFRFIrU9cT6VNGgh87BAXAiZqBqzhOZnlawJP/s640/blogger-image--713062047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ_VnQZmk7vg864Qti0Y1vlCZkzQhAaNJp-3DDRNezn8pLqfsbxiXigqKI2rcjmdHEX4wKSboKKaSUfPzKPc0vlx65dy9lTPa7fQ0pcSmxFRFIrU9cT6VNGgh87BAXAiZqBqzhOZnlawJP/s640/blogger-image--713062047.jpg" /></a></div>Karen Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02933429486072759730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466231423698019899.post-80007633560782756892011-12-13T01:52:00.001-07:002011-12-13T01:52:09.857-07:00Tag 10Wow!!! I swear I've never thought of packing tape for anything but, well, yeah packing!!!! After this tag I have a whole new outlook on what I can do with it for sure now!!!!<br />
<br />
Tag 10 was a bit of a challenge as the only supplies that I had other than inks and paints that matched perfectly was the letters for believe and the stamps!!!! I chose items as close as possible to achieve the desired affect and while this was way outside my box, I love it!!!!<br />
<br />
We are now down to just 3, yep thats right 3, tags to complete this years set!!! How exciting is that????<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!!!<br />
<br />
PS my glossy accents are still wet which is probably making the word believe look a little off. I'm sure once they are dry all will be well!!!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHOnvj6rpNtOVJPv8YePJiDNZtBYOXopHTqulp3VYw5TYhvglXD_pHP71tzD8LpsbB40c5ti_etrlQbs-CC73BETFmhglt9oTxUN0vlBZyw2YU514-TaVsHMO9rolXzTjThWIZ54QxveP3/s640/blogger-image--2017054141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHOnvj6rpNtOVJPv8YePJiDNZtBYOXopHTqulp3VYw5TYhvglXD_pHP71tzD8LpsbB40c5ti_etrlQbs-CC73BETFmhglt9oTxUN0vlBZyw2YU514-TaVsHMO9rolXzTjThWIZ54QxveP3/s640/blogger-image--2017054141.jpg" /></a></div>Karen Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02933429486072759730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466231423698019899.post-27312948926795742522011-12-12T22:39:00.001-07:002011-12-12T22:39:17.201-07:00Tag 11Done like a cake!!! Loved trying a new technique with this one. If you don't have a melting pot and a jar of clear UTEE then you are totally missing out!!! I will tell you this much, 5 stores later I finally got my bottle of clear UTEE and will def pick up a bottle or two more to keep in reserve when I see them in stock at M's or HL after my long search today. <br />
<br />
Anywho, combine UTEE and one of my favorite materials - shrink plastic - and it creates some super fab embellies!!! I remember shrink plastic from being a kid. I loved getting shrinky dinks and coloring them in then putting them in the oven as a kid. As I've grown I found more creative uses for them - my fav is using then when making jewelry - but today was an amazing discovery!!!! Did you know when you put shrinky dink material in heated UTEE ( ultra thick embossing enamel) it will shrink it AND give it a super thick coating making fun embellies for pages, cards and yes, even Tim's tags!!!!<br />
<br />
Here's my tag and I hope you've been playing along learning new techniques and creating some amazing pieces of art. I think I have 4 tags to go and then I can officially say I've completed my first year of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas!!!<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I had a blast making this one!!! I loved using the alcohol inks on the pearls and rolling the tag across the stamp to give the background a different effect was really cool. As you can see, I got a little carried away with the alcohol inks and colored my baubles for the top too. Little did I realize, more like I failed to think LOL, that the chain dangling down could still be wet with ink and I totally slopped it across my embossed sentiment. I guess I could just say it has more character this way right??? <br />
<br />
My boss gave me the leaves because I had no idea what the kraft glassine was LOL nor did I know where to find it. As of now, I've been educated that it is another type of crafting paper from you know who ( Tim of course ) and something I will probably never use again unless something Tim does calls for it. LOL <br />
<br />
Enough jabbering, here's my tag. So now I need to do 6, 9, 10, 11 and shortly 12 ( it will most likely be posted before I go to bed ). Tag 6 def has to wait til I get to the store and so does tag 11 for sure. So, my next venture will be tags 9 and 10 but I doubt I will get another done tonite. <br />
<br />
I have lots to do this week so here's o hoping I can keep up with at least one completed project a day or every other day if it is a big undertaking!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!!!<br />

Tag 6 I don't have one thing I need to finish it and tag 7 was accidentally skipped so I will be off to work on it as soon as I post this one :)<br />
<br />
I got a bit behind with work and life going on but I am ready to get caught up - or at least try!!!<br />
<br />
So, here's tag 8. This one is def not your traditional Christmas - honestly it isn't really holiday themed at all except the word Joy added on and the holly leaves/berries. I like it though, def outside my typical box and lots of fun to put together getting to play with lots of different elements. <br />

Maybe some tags or something done tomorrow :)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqFKemb6-X66Hv1Ul2oYFuRVoO49gUq_tbK0ZbjwfF9g9VAsC3FRi5gnMCDOGgdp4nCcR58tUW32L-GJgvCgCFDPBouLmT9963ODgIN8KuCIf6hl9sv1SmEuEd8mXfjgYr_BEcxMQj5Ki/s640/blogger-image-449755512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqFKemb6-X66Hv1Ul2oYFuRVoO49gUq_tbK0ZbjwfF9g9VAsC3FRi5gnMCDOGgdp4nCcR58tUW32L-GJgvCgCFDPBouLmT9963ODgIN8KuCIf6hl9sv1SmEuEd8mXfjgYr_BEcxMQj5Ki/s640/blogger-image-449755512.jpg" /></a></div>Karen Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02933429486072759730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466231423698019899.post-54272009279540419612011-12-07T21:57:00.001-07:002011-12-07T21:57:16.481-07:00Tag 5Well, I'm a tad behind but that's ok. Yesterday proved to be a lazy day where the only thing I managed to accomplish was spending the day with my best friend just hanging out and going to lunch. <br />
<br />
So, tonite I was determined to get at least one tag done - especially since I only have the stuff to do this one LOL. My boss texted me and told me she had the stuff for me for one of them so I'll get that from her and do Osama tag tomorrow but yesterday's tag is still proving to be a challenge because neither of us have the embossing folder used!!!!<br />
<br />
Anywho, here is tag 5. I am off to work on something else - maybe another cross since I need it for next Friday because my cousin is getting married and I wanted to give them one as a gift. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stoppin' by and happy scrappin'!!!!<br />

I'm a terribly messy person when I create but mix in paint and distress stains and it gets really bad ( not to mention crackle paint....ugh ).<br />
<br />
I am not thrilled with this tag as I don't feel the techniques Tim focused on came through on mine but I give up and call it a draw - no way I can let te tag completely win!!! LOL <br />
<br />
I hope you are enjoying the tags this year and playing along too. I admit I never had any interest before because I just feel it was my style but I have stepping out of my box to be invigorating and really inspiring as I've been writing ideas down as I go along for projects in the works already and can't wait to dive back in since I'm off work this week!!! <br />
<br />
In addition to this tag I would like to share this pic of my sweet grandson Tyler - I took it on Thanksgiving day and find him to be just adorable!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!!<br />

<br />
I was sweating this one!!! I don't own a reinker one nor do I own anything to make my own stamp pad with but I managed to strategize with what I do have!!!<br />
<br />
I used my embossing folder and then colored the raised sections with my Copic markers in colors similar to that of the stamp pad Tim made - it was a little more time consuming but I can say it worked!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
So here is tag 3 and now I am off to bed. I have a class tomorrow morning then gonna work a couple hours at most at the store then home to relax and tackle tag 4!!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!!<br />

No matter, it's done now!! Had to improvise with some stuff like the wreath on the neck ( I used MF tinsel and MR Mists to create my greenery) and the charm on his neck and the bottom border as well. <br />
<br />
All I can say is I am truly addicted to the 12 Tags of Christmas ( http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/ ) and am seriously looking into doing the last 4 years worth now!!!<br />
<br />
Anywho, here's my tag. I'm still learning this blogger app on my phone so my posts will be short til I figure it out!!!<br />

I've been busy working, crafting and spending as much time with him as possible. I will update with some pics of what I've been doing and of course some adorable pics of him!!!<br />
<br />
But........today's post is all about my very first time of joining in on the <a href="http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog">Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas</a>!!!! My first tag isn't perfect (I used the wrong side of the embossing folder on the front of the tag LOL) but it isn't as bad as I had feared. <br />
<br />
I used most of the supplies listed on the <a href="http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog">TH blog</a> but improvised on a few that I didn't have. <br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with Tag 2 but I have to work all weekend (taking an album class on Sunday the working a couple hours after that - I will def share pics of that too!!!) so Tags 2 through 4 may not get finished til Monday with Tag 5. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!!<br />

Mom didn't get to meet him (other than the brief time right after his birth) for the first 36 hours. She had a C-Section and she had to be able to get out of bed and walk before she could go to the nursery as he was in the Special Care Nursery on IV's and monitors for the first 48 hours.</div>
