About Me

My photo
I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 5 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

Now THIS project was fun to do.  I stamped the heart images on to Shrinky Dink frosted plastic and colored in the areas I wanted color. I used colored pencils and Sakura Gelly Roll pens...including the Stardust pens to add glitter. Then I cut them out as close as I could, punched a hole, and then used my heat gun to shrink them.  I added jump rings, fish-hook earring posts, and VOILA! Cute earrings!

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 4 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

This project was fun.  I made a cute Summer Beach Theme tag. Thinking of friends or loved ones while you are sitting on a tropical beach...wishing they were or could be there with you. The phrases that come with these kits are great for almost any occasion.

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 3 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

This project was made using handmade paper in the background to make it appear more softer and organic. Especially by tearing the edges. I punched out some mini flowers and attached them to wire "stems". Wrapped them up in mulberry paper and added some fern cut-outs.  Tied a bow to the front and placed it over the music.

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 2 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

This card was actually made in support of George and Cindy Anthony in the Casey Anthony trial. It was made and sent BEFORE Cindy got up on the stand and started lying.  Part of the design of my card is not my idea...but I changed it up a bit and added my own things to make it my own.  Hope you like it.

My Growing In Unity Projects Day 1 (Leave comment for a free stamp kit*)

Pretty much that's what I'm doing.  I am growing up in the Unity Stamp Company. I pretty much just discovered this company and I only own one kit.  But I LOVE it and I look forward to buying more in the future. So I will be presenting projects made from the "Music of my Heart" kit. The method I used for this card is "masking".  I love this method because it actually looks like the card is layered, when it actually is not.  I hope you like this card :)
