Great Friends

Here are my partners in crime...Tammy & Prissy!  We have lots of fun rather it be crafting or other social activities.  We have been told we are the funniest people this side of Abilene.  Me and Prissy are very vocal while Tammy pretends to be the quiet one...whatever!  You never know what is going to happen or what we will come up with when we put our brains together...you just know its going to be fun.  We usually like to put our brains to work over a spirited beverage which brings you to the reason our company is called Happy Hour Crafts. Stay tuned for more fun, more laughs from me and the ladies and I used the term ladies very loosely...LOL!! 

Learning

Well Tammy, Prissy & I sat down and tried to figure this blog thing out.  We add a few new things to our sites.  Hopefully we will learn more as we go along.  It was a great evening!  I'm really excited that I learned how to add a playlist to my site.  Short blog entry for now but more to come later..

Day of the Dead Journal

I finished up this journal today.  I was excited to use my new Bombshell Stamps.  They make some really neat Day of the Dead stamps.  I heat embossed them onto metal and colored with my Copic markers.  I couldn't decide how to arrange them so a lightbulb went off in my head.  I cut them out and clued them to some trinket pins from Maya Road and used them as embellishments to my flower.  I can't wait to do more with my stamps. 

Day of Learning

I'm looking forward to today.  I'm getting together with Tammy & Prissy and seeing what we can do to update our blogs.  I want to learn how to add some features to my site.  I have tried to figure it out on my own without success so its time to bring in the troops.  Hopefully by putting our heads together we can figure this out.  So stay tuned...

Bombshell Stamps

I found some great new stamps.  They are from a group called Bombshell Stamps.  I think they are so cool.  I was just checking out craft sites when I came across them.  When I saw this set I knew what I wanted to do with them.  I had found this cowhide paper a long time ago and had been holding it waiting for just the right project.  I think I found it.  I made another version of the stationary box which completely unfolds.  I have joined the Bombshell Forum and and cannot wait to get some feed back from them.  I have now ordered some other stamps and can't wait to play with them.  If you get a chance take a look I've never seen this type of stamp anywhere else.  Let me know what you think. 

Baby Shower Card

I received a request for a baby shower card.  This type of card is always fun to make.  The chipboard all supplied by Maya Road, one of my favorites, always adds great detail to any project.  I used german glass glitter on all the pieces.  I did get a little tired cutting each strip of the scalloped pieces but I think it makes a great background.  Onto making some more new items.  I have all kinds of ideas swirling around in my head. Til next time....
