Afghans and Deals :)

I have been sick for a few days.  I am feeling better and made some chicken noodle soup to help me feel better :)

I was thinking of afghans the last few days and decided to put an Etsy Treasurie together since I haven't felt up to crafting.  Here are a few of them go check out the rest  click here




If you know someone that makes afghans or any other craft that would like help selling them online whether it be Etsy or their own website I have a special running for the month of November to get them selling on line.  This is a great deal to get someone started!

A Visit to the Flower Shop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Worked on a fall centerpiece for a class I will be teaching at Art More Place in November.  It's always nice visiting with my special friend Ivonne at the Enchanted Florist Shop.  I work there during the holidays and can't wait to get started. :)

 

I started working in a flower shop when I was in my 20's as a clerk and then before I knew it I became a floral designer.  Every state that I have lived in I have found a little flower shop to call home.

 

The colors are a little off in the pic they are orange mini roses with fall colored mums and of course a bow :)

 

 

 

Watercolors and Turkeys

Finally was able to do a little crafting today after a few days of getting sidetracked by life. :)  I love being in my happy place.  I have been inspired lately with watercolors.  I love the way the paint does it's own thing.

I have been wanting to start entering craft challenges and this is my first one.
I used two of Paper Smooches free digital stamps to make this turkey card.  I used watercolor paints for the turkey and sign.   I love the way it came out simple yet cute :)

I look forward to using more of Paper Smooches products.

How to Make 3d Pumpkin Cards

Finished up some 3d pumpkin cards.  I know I should be working on Christmas stuff but when I'm in the season it's hard to not want to work on fall crafts. :)

I cut out pumpkin shapes from card stock 6 different style papers.

Then fold them each in half and glue one of each design together.

 Trim where needed and brush a little brown ink along the sides.

You can cut out a paper stem or I used 5 small strands a jute and hot glued them together.  It looks more like a real stem :)  Glued them to the top

Cut out some vines and a leaf then glue them on with a bow.  You can write directly on the pumpkin or add a tag.
