<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I don't post often but I did go to a newish Craft Retreat House</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this past weekend and thought I should do a little write-up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://timeouthouseretreat.com/" target="_blank">Time Out House Retreat</a> is located in Gore, OK, USA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they can also be found on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/timeouthouse/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
True to what their website states, your GPS really will</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOT get you to the house! You do have a short dirt road but it is not difficult to find! My first impression was it looked like a very small & plain house then I went inside!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
> >> >>> Interesting Decor in Living Room >>> >> ></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just don't rely on any of the clocks to have the correct time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
although one time the clock I called out happened to be stopped only </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 minutes from the actual time, which threw me off because I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
kept thinking it was right! LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THE CRAFT ROOM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ffgH3zAZxgKtrRcwynMmyt6GmTAotoCp_BRy807foGsLugIPr0Pf-tf4WiZF-WiIMIKZsRDIre_GbebqEvqp_CrQspmd2W4o-6oopN27t1YRbcd8HYiYSW2izXeRqk47zvMHOyoyDCsZ/s1600/Craft+Room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ffgH3zAZxgKtrRcwynMmyt6GmTAotoCp_BRy807foGsLugIPr0Pf-tf4WiZF-WiIMIKZsRDIre_GbebqEvqp_CrQspmd2W4o-6oopN27t1YRbcd8HYiYSW2izXeRqk47zvMHOyoyDCsZ/s400/Craft+Room.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We entered the Craft room first which is conveniently located</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the drive & parking area. That made unloading/loading a snap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While there are tables & bedding for 10, there were only 4 of us this time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(an unfortunate bout of the flu took out our 5th). We set up the craft room in zones for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paper crafts, a pour paint station & our various tools we took along. The house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
offers many tools (Big Shot, Cricut, guillotine cutters, various papers & embellishments)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for an attendee to use!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Master Bedroom sleeps 3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had 2 in the Master and 1 on each of the other rooms. All of us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
agreed the beds were very comfy. I thought the sheets smelled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially good and were very soft, a friend mentioned</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how great the pillows were!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Master Bath</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both bathrooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, nothing super elaborate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but really who needs that? The towels were clean & fuffy and plenty of them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were provided along with soaps, lotions & air fresheners. Plus a place</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for dirty towels was provided in each (I really like that!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep there's my car parked right in the middle of the driveway but since</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 of us rode together it was ok, only 1 other vehicle needed a spot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this loop drive! Next time we go there will be more vehicles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we know we won't have to worry about someone being blocked in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is also a part of the loop drive and at the far end of the house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
past those chairs is a parking area our other friends van is parked in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am standing in the doorway of the outside Craft Room door to take these two pictures,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can see it is super close for unloading/loading and with the ice & snow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that we got, it worked great for us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the moment, March 2019 there is no central heating or air conditioning but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the owner has gotten a price to put it in and has plans to make that happen!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rates are very reasonable and the owner is really nice! I recommend this house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to you & your 9 closest friends</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the Double Scoop image twice on <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/lunch-bag-premium-cardstock" target="_blank">Lunchbag Cardstock</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the sentiment once.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After fussy cutting one of the images out, I colored the other </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Souffle pens but decided I really didn't like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I moved on & colored the fussy cut image with alcohol markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, I really didn't like the outcome. I decided to color over the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fussy cut image using Distress Oxide inks and a tiny paintbrush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Ahhh much better on the ice cream cone so I went ahead</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and glued them together. Then using <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/dragonfly-garden-silver-wire" target="_blank">Silver Wire</a> (from the Dragonfly Gardens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept super simple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply used dies & layered it up (ink distressing each layer as I went)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately I have lost the other sentiment that came with this adorable image :-(</div>

I failed to take photos while making this one because I was having so much fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it is Super easy. I started with some Mixed Media paper which I sprayed with water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I used <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/search?type=product&q=Surface+Sprays" target="_blank">Brutus Monroe's Surface Sprays</a> in Phonebook, Rouge & Jurassic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just the let colors run. After drying with a heat tool, I trimmed 1/8" off all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sides to get rid of the heavy pooled colors. I stamped the image, put a little water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the vase and dropped a tiny bit of Cornflower Surface Spray, just letting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it bleed. I put it all together, finishing it off with some</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so very much for this opportunity and I hope I don't disappoint.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After stamping image, I heat set the ink to make sure it was completely dry. Then I watercolored using a bit of water mixed in with the Surface Sprays I had sprayed on my <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/large-media-mat" target="_blank">Large Media Mat</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted a black cardbase so I created a liner and</div>

chose a sentiment from the <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/super-sentimental-6x8-stamp-set" target="_blank">Super Sentimental Stamp Set</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With all the pieces gathered together, I'm ready to assemble. Using <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/brutus-monroe-craft-glue" target="_blank">Brutus Monroe Craft Glue</a> I work from the top layer down, Rose Border onto stripped paper onto green cardsock, next the black ribbon is added and the sentiment strip, while that is dry I attach the liner inside the cardbase, and attach the assembled front of the black cardbase. Last I add a few <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/acrylic-bubbles" target="_blank">Clear Bubbles</a> and some miscellaneous sequins.</div>

LOL<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using lots of <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/" target="_blank">Brutus Monroe</a> products lately and I'm loving this young company. Here's my most recent creation:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I used so many Brutus Monroe products on this one! Surface Sprays in Oz, Jurassic, Phonebook, and Rouge; the gorgeous Jennifer Mandala Die; birdcage & birds from Angel Wings; sentiment from Feb's Unicorn Dreams box. Coloring on birdhouse is surface inks in speckled egg & sage (the only 2 colors I have so far)<br />
<br />
The pink bling, twine & jute are from ms. sparkle & co in magenta (a gift from my friend Pam, thanks girlfriend). I also used Tom Holtz Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade & Mermaid Lagoon to color the little birds. Blue bling is really old stuff from Basic Grey.</div>

CRAFTS:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I came up with using the inspiration photo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TaDah!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coffee mugs were die cut from Pink Paislee 6x6 pad</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
called Turn the Page, it's fabulous due to the Gold Foil!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I had to use some Gold on the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I showed it to my 20-year old son, he really</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
liked the doily and how it looks like a table cloth. Success!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sentiment stamp is from Unity Stamp Company</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I have no clue which set because I cleaned-up too soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a problem with me. I like my work space clean ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lighter background teal paper which is white core,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dry embossed with a tiny dot folder then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
distressed the dots to make them pop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That big blingy pink & was in some stuff a friend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Laura Beth) gave me in Minnesota almost two years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bit of pearl bling & small length of lacish ribbon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've enjoyed!<br />

They come in different sizes, the minis you can from from around $2. Medium are a little over $7 and is my favorite size. Then there are some high ones, I'm talking 8"tall for the one I purchased which I think was over $12 (I only have one, they're just too big for me).<br />
<br />
For today's card (standard A2), I uses Spring At Last which I just received this week in my Blitsy order! It comes with not only this great image, she's about 5" tall, and the little flowers, butterfly & book come in the kit as well. Plus a few images I didn't use like a bee & postage stamp.<br />

I recently discovered stamps by <b><u>Brutus Monroe,</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thanks to a facebook group ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are clear stamps on a 4x6 sheet. I only purchased two sets my first time out but the quality is very nice. They stamp very clear, even the fine lettered sentiments.</div>

The images to the left are all from Home Sweet Home which I colored in with colored pencils</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(rarely use them) and a heart from another collection.</div>

These images are all from Birthday Bear. This set has four cute bears, two birds and a bunny... did I mention cute? They are SO cute! Instead of coloring them in, I used Tim Holtz Distress Paint daubers and just kinda splatted the paint on. Added a touch of sparkly Nuvo to finish off the balloons and I have a great Birthday tag!</div>

New Years! What do you do to celebrate?Me, no a thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh I'll have a drink or three,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watch a show or two,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
craft until 12:01 or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just go to bed. </div>

For these, I used Copic markers to color with and paired this super fun set with these equally fun papers and a super sparkly ribbon that just keeps giving!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's hard to tell in these pics but I used clear Nuvo over the liquid in the glass so it's shiney.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you getting in the holiday spirit yet? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept this first one simple on the coloring, just green Copics for the tree & sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I got out my old circle punches for that pop of something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's festive!</div>

When I was in High School, I owned a red bug. It's a good thing cars can't talk ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll notice I used different shade of red to color this bug, well that's how mine was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I left spots white thinking it looks a bit like snow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To mix things up a bit, I skipped the sentiment stamp & chose to use stickers from the paper pack, I'm not a sticker person and know I would not use these in a scrapbook so this is the perfect use for these.</div>

Welcome to Wednesday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm jumping to Christmas or perhaps, preparing for Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my family, we use an artificial tree and we use the same one for YEARS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had the same tree for 12 years, then it started falling apart so it had to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the next three years, we each made a homemade tree and used those</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until the cats, dog, and packing got the better of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year, we broke down and bought a new artificial tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will put it up the day after Thanksgiving, or as some people call it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black Friday. I'm more of a Cyber Monday type of person</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I'm doing a photo tutorial of how I made this card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step One: Stamped using Memento in Tuxedo Black</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt4zSv9MsKAseX7toDi1xnZDowyBrxpbSkNEbZWtms_nq6w9zg_VlM8f1L3K0JCc63EbUpwmNk7ykmH2N8MSdyHLe_3-DMeAatRF5tH6ZvQr1k5YBgQ1nENkmKHCC4LnYEIQHiHCvRXNCw/s1600/Wednesday-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="972" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt4zSv9MsKAseX7toDi1xnZDowyBrxpbSkNEbZWtms_nq6w9zg_VlM8f1L3K0JCc63EbUpwmNk7ykmH2N8MSdyHLe_3-DMeAatRF5tH6ZvQr1k5YBgQ1nENkmKHCC4LnYEIQHiHCvRXNCw/s320/Wednesday-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Two: Stamped using Tim Holtz in Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Squeezed Lemonade, and Gathered Twigs. Fussy cut them out and fringed the edges of a couple of trees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-NAriEfMz1Rb0a1wHf-e7h3-BDgZZ4wXpzfiuVG7jJpHSnYvgIp99oFNIvDY7VDNt2eAxi86VDfy-Zy_CvoCD12642HBzgdarssDCsf3LWSm8-_die7Dd52moZvSz7ecCC2fbGioeAKrU/s1600/Wednesday-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="893" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-NAriEfMz1Rb0a1wHf-e7h3-BDgZZ4wXpzfiuVG7jJpHSnYvgIp99oFNIvDY7VDNt2eAxi86VDfy-Zy_CvoCD12642HBzgdarssDCsf3LWSm8-_die7Dd52moZvSz7ecCC2fbGioeAKrU/s320/Wednesday-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Three: Colored the image using Copic markers. Fussy cut along the top edge of ground, truck & trees but not all the way to the edges of the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_H4mh443nnkOkuq1esBma7T7iKK0zWxZfMrTsTfrb9ntas7SM9eqohpBJwksBcdTTBmUFWU0qLMQdiP17EoQWqrgRBaGabI-4WG5JW9KA36iAAIuTOJNUE3K039P3Icq1oqJ9SPwMMHi/s1600/Wednesday-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="671" data-original-width="961" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_H4mh443nnkOkuq1esBma7T7iKK0zWxZfMrTsTfrb9ntas7SM9eqohpBJwksBcdTTBmUFWU0qLMQdiP17EoQWqrgRBaGabI-4WG5JW9KA36iAAIuTOJNUE3K039P3Icq1oqJ9SPwMMHi/s320/Wednesday-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Oh how I love this witch! I started with simply stamping Esmerelda Girl then making a mask & temporarily gluing the mask down. I made a circle mask, colored it with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks. I used the branch from the Trust Your Soul, SMAK 11/14. Next, using a swiping pattern, colored the sky & ground with various Oxide Inks, pulled of Esmerelda's mask, misted on a bit of water & heat set. Topped off the moon with quite a bit of Wink of Stella. Using a black fine tip pin, I touched up the kitty so he really stood out. Colored pencil around the kitty and broom give them a little depth. Distressed the edges in Black Soot Distress Ink. Sentiment is the top part of Ghosts, Goblins, Witches (wit & wisdom) which is a little crooked but I kinda like it!<br />

I created this background after doing acrylic pour painting, when I moved my canvas off the rack, I looked in the tray and boom this was there! So I grabbed a 6x6 canvas and dipped it into the run-off paint. After letting it dry for a couple of weeks, I finally decided this is the perfect stamp for it!<br />

I have missed these girls (along with all my other friends from all over the globe) and the fun just didn't stop rolling. So here's my brief review of:<br />
<br />

Our location: Valley Center, Kansas which is just outside of Wichita</div>

There is loads of parking spaces, we had this driveway pretty full but still room for more cars! Let's see if I remember correctly, there were three cars from Kansas, one from California, two from Colorado, and one from Arkansas. My one and only negative about this location is the entrance has a couple of large steps. I would like to see them add a ramp for rolling carts full of scrappy & quilting supplies in easier.<br />
<br />

Kitchen (aka The Hub):</div>

<br />
The Kitchen (aka The Hub of all activities) was very nice, large, easy to have multiple people in. All the normal appliances which all worked ;-) Lots of pans & dishes for us to use. After we jammed this refrigerator full, there was another downstairs. Perfect!<br />

This sweet area is where there are limited supplies you can buy and also you can dig thru a stack of things if you need just that right piece of paper or whatever. I left several things and took a few. I love a free trade area!</div>

This weekend I went on a much needed mini vacation to a craft retreat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The location was in Concordia, Kansas at a place called</div>

<a href="http://valleyrentalcenter.vpweb.com/cloud-creative-retreats">Cloud Creative Retreat</a> which is located at the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The current owners purchased the building at silent auction 3 year ago,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
applied for and received a grant for its re-birth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many things happen at this wonderful re-purposed building!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{my friends know me & my recycling}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a daycare "Little Monkeys", Cross Fit in the old gym,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
counseling office, wedding reception hall, massage room, and yoga room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I was there for a Cloud Creative Retreat which just happened</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be hosted by one of the owners, Becky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cloud Creative Retreat Entrance is locate on the backside of the building</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where there is plenty of paved parking.</div>

When you enter the retreat there is a little sitting area</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a book all about how the retreat came to be. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see there is plenty of seating for all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kitchen area (located to the left & back of the islands you see)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is very basic but has what you need to cook a meal... refrigerator, electric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
range/oven, standard kitchen sink, dishwasher, microwave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of pots,pans, dishes, crockpots, blenders, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are two craft rooms. The first (not pictured, darn that photographer) is setup for scrapbookers. There are machines to use, lots of room to spread out and a half bath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second craft room (where I spend most of my time, pictured below) is mainly setup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for those who do fabric crafting. Although clearly from my area</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was doing paper crafts.</div>

The air conditioning would not work properly Friday and a small portion of Saturday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but Becky was on top of things. She had repairmen out both days as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
soon as she knew about the issues. We got a little warm (ok it was Kansas in June, it was hot)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but opened the windows on both sides of the building for a good cross breeze and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had ceiling fans on high to stay cool enough to get our crafty on.<br />

I received my Unity Stamp Company SMAK Monday and could not contain myself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I push all other things in life aside to start making things with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First thing I made was this one layer card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
super clean & simple but I love how the words POP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using TH Oxide inks over other inks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WDTJKpNU8seZM6txyS0PixLGFsSxmgBVfKzfeFx2W9HGokiuOId2dAkYvS60osVs6AzX2biD7tPit96VfsnhHBgQlq49DHLv_io3belJu83O-eDavF4DoRnw4l0wLz4WF-fldCIE00oZ/s1600/June17-SMAKgirl1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="974" data-original-width="902" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WDTJKpNU8seZM6txyS0PixLGFsSxmgBVfKzfeFx2W9HGokiuOId2dAkYvS60osVs6AzX2biD7tPit96VfsnhHBgQlq49DHLv_io3belJu83O-eDavF4DoRnw4l0wLz4WF-fldCIE00oZ/s400/June17-SMAKgirl1.jpg" width="370" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I created a tag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I swirled & blended TH Oxide inks for the background</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
splattered water then stamped the girl image with Oxide ink so she was basically a ghost!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added the Sentiment & chandelier</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used a silver pen to draw a "string" from her hand to the chandelier</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added a bit of bling, just because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Topped it off with ribbons & pearls </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gosh I just can't seem to keep up with my blog these days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not like I'm that busy with life but I suppose I must be!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my attempt at combining three completely different sets in one card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but they are all from Unity Stamp Company</div>

WOW! It has been way too long since I posted on my blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I'm still here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past weekend I got to spend several hours with my bestie who lives about 45 minutes away but with her having a senior in high school, me having a freshmen in college (who commutes to the university), and both of us with an additional child well, we're super busy people who just don't make enough time for each other. This called for a nice lunch with drinks, pedicures & shopping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hit up Tuesday Morning, here's my haul:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The came Sunday and I had some downtime in the afternoon so I got busy with my awesome new Tim Holtz Oxide Ink Pads ( LOVE THEM!!! ) and made this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNPXE_HIG8HlrrIjmr1idg99iMz6uJawDjdfq-Q4mnnevHhFNIQ-qMePSFlfhZsTQtZ-Qc4eBicUu-Xe5ishwztj3lJpr08JBrmUirmI9WngxVHlAQbxVxvewO-pdr3yfmdkFAku_-W75/s1600/TH%252BSizzix+Skull+Crossbones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNPXE_HIG8HlrrIjmr1idg99iMz6uJawDjdfq-Q4mnnevHhFNIQ-qMePSFlfhZsTQtZ-Qc4eBicUu-Xe5ishwztj3lJpr08JBrmUirmI9WngxVHlAQbxVxvewO-pdr3yfmdkFAku_-W75/s320/TH%252BSizzix+Skull+Crossbones.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had so much fun making it, I have another card started with the bird die you can see and also a scrapbook layout that is nagging me to use with this new paper pack! My head is a busy place ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a beautiful day!</div>

My friend told me I need to enter <a href="http://skippingstonesdesign.com/september-halloween-challenge/">Skipping Stones Design's challenge </a>and since I love Halloween, it's was super easy for me! Plus I adore getting to use this Jessica Lynn Originals stamp called Halloween Twilight along with papers my friend Marilynn sent<br />
