Happy Labor Day.....

 Hello and Good Afternoon....I hope you've all enjoyed Labor Day in your favorite way!!  I woke this morning to my youngest son calling and inviting me to come over and hang with them til my grandson was ready for a nap....you bettcha I was up and at'em to get over there....That is one sweet little boy this Nana's heart melts for!! We had fun....put some puzzles together and just horsed around!!!

Now I'm home...enjoying my day in my favorite room in the house....my Craft Room......It's my special place!!  Been working on a few more cards and had fun with them....Still Christmas Themed.....wanna see???

This first set I had the most fun with....it's definitely a mixed media piece and I just loved getting my fingers inky again.....used texture paste, dies, stamps, embossing powders, distress oxide inks, copics, scrapbook paper....all sorts of yumminess!!!  I love how these turned out...super cute!!!!

They will be going into My Etsy Store as soon as I can get them packaged up....





The next 2 cards here I used Echo Park Here Comes Santa Claus 6x6 paper pack, dies and inks to create this...SUPER fun....rather busy looking but still cute!!!






I also used the same scrapbook pad for the below two cards....and of course dies and inks...I created the poinsetta and had so much fun!!!  Makes me smile to look at them!!!!!






So that catches me up on the cards I've been creating and looking forward to creating more!!!

I do have a question for you....if you've made it this far....I am giving serious consideration to starting my videos again...if I were to do this....anyone have any suggestions on what you might like to see??  If you have a comment...please share it with me....because I truly want to know!!

Ok...back to creating...I want to Thank You for stopping by to visit with me!!  I hope I might have brought a smile to your face....I would like to wish you all a Very Blessed day and ask that you come by and visit again!!!

Let Fall come IN!!

 Good Morning....well..Afternoon actually and Happy Fall!!!  It's hard to believe we are in September already!! My how this year has flown by!!!  It's been a challenge of a year but I believe my sweetie is getting me in gear from heaven for me to let my mojo get to work!!!!  

I've enjoyed some wonderful productive time in my ARTHaven creating again...some utilitarian items and also more creative items!!! Thought I would share them with you here.....

The first thing I created was due to a need.....I have the complete set of Copics as well as other markers and would like to have them all in a neat holder....without spending a fortune....I'm  blessed to have a Glowforge which is a laser cutter so I can cut wood with ease!! So I designed the below....it holds 352 markers.....and I do have it listed in My ETSY store if anyone is interested...both in the SVG digital download and also in the actual holder itself...




The second item I had a want for was stamp pad storage.....so I figured I designed my marker holder and it turned out amazing.....then I would create a stamp pad storage holder...I also have listed the on My ETSY store as well......




Then I decided to have some fun making Christmas cards....Can't believe it will be here before we know it....if you're in a funk on your mojo...then turn on some youtube videos and watch away...it will help to bring it back for certain!!!

Anywho.....I had FUN creating this...using all kinds of goodness in it's making, oxide inks, dies, markers, paper, glossy accents...OMG it was FUN!!! Thought I would share it with you here!!!





Didn't they turn out great!! I decided to do a set of 4 of these to get the most out of the paper as I could....LOTS of fun!! These will eventually be going into My ETSY Store after I create a few more designs.....

Well....that catches me up for today.....on to playing some more!!! I want to Thank You for stopping by to visit with me....I pray you all enjoy a wonderful Labor Day Weekend, stay safe and enjoy family!! And I wish you all a very blessed week!!!!!  Until next time!!




Happy Labor Day.....
