Friday Humor: Pinterest
I must tell you I love the Pinterest. Love it. but this really speaks to some days with Pinterest activities. Don’t you think? Well for me anyways… Yes I am blaming my messy studio on Pinterest.
And the addict in me says… If you have some boards you love, please share in the comments below. Or if you have your own, please share and I will look it up.
Enjoy! Chris
I recently was asked for a get well mine craft card on my previous blog. Here is what I came up with to offer.
I, also, tweaked to include an inside for a Birthday. I know it sounds like wahh?? but it works. So if you have a minecraft loving kid who is awesome and healthy and celebrating or possibly sick and needs a pick-me-up and here are your options.
This is for your personal use.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Enjoy!

Working on a few cards for birthdays coming up and needed a simple frame with an inverted corner. So I looked and looked through my files and couldn’t find one. So created one for me and for you. Hope you can use it!
Enjoy!

I have a collaboration Birthday card to share today. I have some Copic Markers and my son really wanted to use them. I had an extra print of some digi-stamps and so he colored in and left it on my color clipboard. It was wonderful because I needed a birthday card for my God Daughter. Perfect time for a collaboration birthday card. Lots of fun and he totally smiled when he saw it finished on my studio table. Love that!
Method:
-My son colored with Copic Markers
-I have no idea where the digi stamp came from. Just found it in my downloads.
-I used a cuttlebug to emboss the Happy Birthday pattern on the pink paper
-Some red and white gingham ribbon, red cardstock and pink cardstock all from my studio.
-Stickles on the heart
– Silver heart (covering a woops) and 3 rhinestones found in drawers in my studio.
-Fiskars scissors for material used on the paper to cut the jagged edge.
-Working with my Son’s Project. Priceless
Although Copic Markers are pricey and it can be stressful the ends will get bent, I find my Son is very respectful of my things when I let him borrow them. I cannot imagine having said no and missing this opportunity to have a collaboration card. This is not how I would have colored this image at all. I love what he did with it and it will be perfect to accompany our gift. If you have little ones around, try inviting them into your space, your craft room, and see how they can inspire you.
Enjoy!

I walked around the corner of an aisle in Hobby Lobby and heard giggling and giggling. I walk around the corner. My two guys smiling.
My son says.. Do you see it? I said yes.
And that is how you entertain men in hobby lobby when you made them stop before dinner and they were hungry. haha.
Enjoy!

I must admit.. my guys are spoiled when it comes to jams and jellies. I love to can. I make jam, jelly, syrups, concentrates and more. However, I still have not taken the jump to pressure canning. Wew. I get a little nervous at the thought and say I stay within my comfort. Well rather, my enjoyment zone. I, also, found I like to make small batches and put it away after. I don’t need nor want in the middle of summer to stand over a hot stove for days on end when fruit is ripe. I was really excited to try the freshtec jam & jelly maker. For my first run, it was uber easy. In an hour I started the process of cleaning and smashing strawberries, dumping them in the “maker”. I then pulled out 5 jars and put water on to boil. When the jam was done “making”, I poured it in my hot jars and hot water bathed them. All in all I think the time investment was an hour and 5 minutes. And I am satisfied with a pop pop pop pop and don’t feel like I am trying to run a smuckers shop in my kitchen. Pretty cool. My guys are impatiently waiting for the 5th partial jar to cool in the fridge so they can partake. There has been alot of grumbling about jam choices here recently. Haha. I am happy to help them out. Love my Life.
Enjoy!

Still celebrating my move to a new space. Woohoo!
Today, I am offering you a file to make your own sunburst/starburst card. I cut this to create a 4×6 card. I cut 4 different papers and created 4 different sunbursts. One I used on my handsome Hubby’s card, another I cut to use in my project life and the others I put in my to use pile. They will be quick and useable for birthday cards etc. You can increase the size of the file and make a larger burst or two.
I like these cards. Pretty fun and full of color if you choose the right papers.
I will post the rest of my card pictures later in the week.
Enjoy!
Chris
