What!! No social network?

Yes, you heard me correct. I deleted my on-line profiles from Facebook & Myspace.  I was using these sites to keep in touch and connect with family and friends while here in Arizona. But I guess I sort of grew tired of them, I wanted more privacy and to not be easily tracked down by just anyone.  As contradictive as this sounds (because I still have this blog) But I also grew tired of constantly being asked to be someone’s farm neighbor or invited for coffee with someone in Cafe world. I never got into playing those games and I am certainly not saying anything bad about the people who do play them, they just are not for me.  The spare time I do have is spent with my family and at my craft table.  My free time is limited and I want to spend it doing what I love best. Creating and sharing with people who are interested in what I have to share and say.

So with that, today’s card is definitely for the birds. If you can’t beat them, go find something else to do!

Ingredients:

SU DSP Flock together

SU Ribbon SO Saffron

Bella Baubles, Memento ink, Copic Markers,

Stamps: MFT  hanging with my peeps

I look forward to seeing you more and spending more time on my blog,  See ya ~Angela

Under the Sea and back near there too!

Hello! I’m so happy to be back, I have to admit that was a bit longer then a cat nap. More like a long power nap. Which is just what I needed.  As it turns out we are moving back home, to California. In CA we lived near the Channel Islands, and we are moving back to our same house. I miss the salty smell of the ocean, the fresh produce at the farmers markets, but most of all, I miss my family and friends back home! As for Arizona, I did enjoy the tranquility of this little 5 light town.  And there will be much more to miss once we are gone. You know the saying:

“ don’t know what you got till it’s gone?”  So anyway in the midst of all our packing my Aunt Diane called to let me know she is going to be a grandma for the first time ever and she is super excited. She asked if I could make the invitations for the baby shower. All though I am super busy I just can’t say No to my Auntie. She is doing an Under the Sea themed shower and it’s a boy.  Here is what I came up with.

I just love the way they came out. Thanks to my daughter Tyla who helped me color in the images, She is a prisma & gamsol queen. We were able to finish these up and continue with our packing in no time.

Here is what we used:

Stamps by Our Craft Lounge: Bubbles

Making Memories DSP

Stock Grosgrain ribbon

Memento Ink

SU Tempting turquoise to ink around the edges

Spellbinders Labels eight

Prisma Colored pencils

Baby oil - instead of Odorless mineral spirits (since my daughter was helping I did not want harmful fumes around her)

Stickles in Icicle to add some shimmer on the star

 

I’m glad you stopped by and hopefully I will be back soon with something new  to show you ~ Angela

Taking a blog Cat Nap

I just want to let everyone know I will not be blogging for a bit. I have things that require my full attention & as much as I love blogging I simply won’t have the time. Thanks for understanding ~ Angela

By the way, anyone want this adorable cat named Coby? J/K this is my daughter’s cat and she would kill me if I gave him away.

Easter Bunny and Friend

Wow wow wow, I can’t believe we are already in April! How time flies when we’re having fun. I just finished making my kids Easter baskets and I had these two fun creations to add. This is not something I created on my own I got the idea from http://dreamcreateandshare.blogspot.com

But are they not just too cute?  Boy and Girl, perfect for my 2.

 

I had to improvise as I did not have all the same tools Tammy used but I think they turned out A-OK none the less. If you are interested in trying to make this duo hop over to her blog, she’s got some fabulous creations.

 

 

I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday and we’ll be seeing you around. ~Angela
