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!!!!

F and F Courage

     The Frilly & Funky gals are at it again with an Challenge to "Make Mine Metal" .  Linda (The Funkie Junkie) loves to alter things and loves metal.  I combined this challenge with the Splitcoast SC393 and a great sketch by Taylor.  My friend Lou Ann (Crooked Stamper) did her first challenge with this sketch called The Tea Party, so I had to do one too.



     For my metal I used a silver metal sheet and punched out one large and two small stars.  I inked them with Adirondact Alcohol Ink and run them through my Big Shot with a ef.  I made the wrapped wire around the stars and the barbed wire (yes, I made home-made barbed wire) on the wide end of the pendant with jewelry wire.  The sentiment I stamped on leather.  Hope you enjoy!
