About Me

My photo
Welcome. My name is Lisa and I live on a farm in Northeastern PA. I have a wonderful husband of over 30 years and two fabulous sons. One with a wonderful wife and another with a wonderful girlfriend. I have a 6 year old granddaughter and an 4 year old grandson. We have a dog, two cats, and 5 horses. I started into this art as a possible scrapbooker until my good friend Lou Ann (SCS Crooked Stamper) invited me to a Stampin' Up party. Now I'm hooked. We had to turn a room of our home into a craft room for all my stuff. Then I needed a second craft room and did classes. Then I decided to open an in home store using three more rooms of our home. Between Lou Ann (Crafter and IT department) and Mary Ann (Crafter and Jewelry department) and a few other friends, I'm having the time of my life!!!!

OCCC Remembering the Good Times



     I started out doing a technique challenge using dryer sheets for flowers, and while waiting for my stickles to dry I did this.  (As a side note, my long-haired lazy tom cat Fuzzy, was just recently wearing the smallest flower)  Anyway, I was thinking about the coloring of ef and I tried it with a SU Early Espresso paper with what I think is a Tim Holtz ef.  It didn't work.  I guess it was too dark.  But.................the embossing on that dark cs looked so good I had to keep going.
     I used my Tim Holtz blender stamp and some Tim Holtz Black Soot and got something that looked like an old book.  After remembering this weeks OCCC Buttons n Bows or Burlap, well, that finished off the card for me.

    Ooooh, I love this, Lisa! The embossing looks fabulous with the extra color on it and your die cut and image are just fabulous. And I believe I spy some burlap thread from The Funkie Junkie Boutique, which always gives me a thrill. Terrific take on the Buttons 'n Burlap or Bows challenge at Our Creative Corner. I am so pleased that you joined in the fun with us this week.

    I'd also like to invite you to link this up with Sunday Share over at the Frilly and Funkie blog. If random.org picks your entry, you would win a 25% discount coupon for the next time you shop at The Funkie Junkie :)
