Owie...the Artist!!

We moved to South Carolina almost 3 years ago to be closer to our Grandguys...

Myles, Sam & Owen.

One of the BESTEST things is spending time with these sweethearts...

I have decided to JUMP BACK into scrapbooking...because I can use my creativity to document the moments in time.....I want to scrap, because it makes me happy.....I do not do chronological ( for me this would be a disaster...I will never be able to "catch up")

Last week....we were painting in their back yard...

Owie....the Artist

Super duper sweetheart....

I used a stamp from my Stampin UP! stash...(yep...still got ALOT of these)

...and THE KIT.....was a Gauche Alchemy....I know..I know....you are saying WITW???...why is she buying stuff she possibly already has in her vast stash???( you were thinking it!..right?)

Well......lookeeee at all the goodies....oh my... wonderful punchinella...assorted flavors & sizes...unique papers...combos that forced me to think outside the box!..Loveeeeeeeeeeeeee!

...and I still have TONS of leftovers to add to my stash!!..I cannot wait til February's kit to get here!

Lots more pages, cards and Home Decor gifties...coming soon to my Etsy shop!

My Favorite Things for Scrap It Girl..

well...............better late than never!

Here is my contribution to Scrap It Girl's

FAVORITE THINGS FRIDAY

January 31,2014

.....how uber cool beaners is THIS!!????

Found on a "day trip date" with my hubby (Mr.Wonderful)

...at a "yard sale"...on a very side/off road...

This was a file cabinet(slate grey in color) that we transformed into awesome storage ( in a yummy VALSPAR turquoise....yes, we work @ Lowes)!!

Measures 36"w x 19"d x 11"h

3 drawers are 10"w

...and the BONUS...they  were ALL filled with VINTAGE sewing patterns!

...for the steal of the day....$5.00!!

whoooowhoooooo!

The picture does not do it justice (snowy day in SC)!....but it is by far a fun & YUMMY addition to my studio!

Currently I have it filled with my "I cannot even think of getting rid of these Stampin' UP! stamps!"

(you know what I mean!)

I plan on being better with my Scrap It Girl posts...be sure to check us out!!

creative blessings, debbie



Finally...I think I've got it!!!!

Well....I suppose I should get a picture posted of my new Bee Hive Studio...all -beeeeeeeee- it still a work in progress....but, I am actually getting some new projects accomplished....along with...."ahem" ...FINDING MANYMANYMANY projects still needing some "love".

Since I am transferring this coming week to a new Lowes store in Nashville, I have found myself in a most bittersweet position. There are some wonderful people I have met thru this journey I embarked on last April....and I am trying to come up with some handmade cards to give out this weekend.....along with perhaps some kind of "treat" bag or something ....haven't really figured this one out yet.

Here is one thank you card I came up with...using the FUNFUNFUN Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter my dd, Jenny gave me this past Christmas. I am embarrassed to say that it took me taking a Silhouette Class 101 at my local SBS, Memories in Bloom...plus a GREAT cheat sheet handout....and of course, the ever faithful help from dd to get this super sweet card created...a real TEAM effort....but, now , I feel very confident using it!...The possibilities are endless!!!

I used a bunch of scraps I had on my work table....along with some Stampin'UP! products. I LOVE this birdie I was able to download into my QK library....I will definitely be making alot more of these....just to have on hand...the sentiment can be left until the last minute....as needed.

Be sure to check out my Etsy shop.....I have added more of my EVER POPULAR vintage quilt heart cut-outs.....a NEW button will be coming soon....as I am de-stashing ( alas...it all wont fit in the new studio!!!)

Debbie

CELEBRATING....A Promotion!

whoooooooooooowhooooooooooooo!
I got a promotion at LOWES!!!...I am now officially a FULL-TIME employee....AND Team Leader( thats the job title) of Windows & Walls...aka: Home Decor!.....what an awesome affirmation that hard work and perseverance pays off.!!!
So, now I will have a real corporate schedule....I am so excited!

ALL that being said....if you have been following my blog musings...you know I am re-doing my studio to be more user-friendly ( aka: ORGANIZED) for me...I have decided to drop my demonstratorship with Stampin'UP!...to allow more ME time in my studio....to get back to using what I have...enjoying my creative space..The Bee Hive....

ANyhoo...I am determined to get the studio in tip-top organized shape...so, I can post my creations regularly...and get my NEW designs into my ETSY shop.(for real!)

Check back .......there will be a BIRTHDAY SPECIAL on Sunday!...FUNFUNFUN!
Creative Blessings,
Debbie

BIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY in The Bee Hive Studio

On my day off from my job at LOWES...this is what I was doing!!!...A special order request from my church, to make thank you notes for all the Sunday School worker-bees and teachers. Yowza!...do I ever feel accomplished!.....Same layout/sketch for each...but using my bits & pieces and hoarded stash....I was able to create 48 of these....and honestly not make a dent in my creative mess ( see this post).....what in the world???

Anyhoo....the inside sentiment/verse was printed on my computer....all other supplies are from SU.....and I was going to use my SU watermark...but, have not yet figured out how to CHANGE the 2007 to a 2008 to make it current( can anyone help me with this???)....maybe its time for a change....

I also had another card request......so, sticking with the concept of not just making ONE (after all....everything is already OUT on the table, right?)...I made one to keep & one to share.
I LOVE creating this way....my next big project will be to get all the Cards for Heroes cards completed, and sent off to Sandy for distribution....I am so psyched about creating & crafting on my days off now.......MOJO heaven!
BTW.....Special Order requests are always welcome!....Check out my ETSY shop.....and my previous blog posts to see some of my work.
Thanks for stopping by!!

I found some Mod Podge that had glitter in it...YUMMY-LICIOUS Bling! and coated the paper strips( will protect from dust, etc).....THEN.....using a piece of satin blanket binding left over from a project for my GrandGuy Myles, I knotted a hanger thru drilled holes.....and VOILA!!!!....the icing on the cake:

Anyhoo...if it had not been for Laura's most awesome helper-bee skills, I never would have been able to teach this to the 100 stampers that came!!....thats why SHE is a SGT!!!!
I am sooooooooo behind ( again!!!)...with my projects...but, probably due to the bug that visited me the past couple of weeks!
Beeeeeeeee sure to CHECK out my ETSY shop...where I am selling some cards made by CARDSFORHEROS.ORG contributors for FUNDRAISING efforts to help pay for mailing....ALSO, I have listed a few scissor charms, which went over quite well at stamp camp....I designed them to be able to be used for assorted sized scissors ( scrapping & sewing)...PLUS a really COOL BEANS tool made for me by Mr. Lowes...to have hands free while using your heat gun!!!
Sooooooo, now I am off to CATCH-UP with some scrapbook pages for CIVITAN...and some more projects for Connie in Canada!
oh.......BTW....one more to check out....is my dd Joy's BLOG....she is BRAND NEW to blogger land....I cannot wait for you to see what she is making for her NEW ETSY SHOP ( opening soon!!)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!! What FUN, this card was!!!....We have a lady who does "signing" at church...during the ENTIRE service....music & sermon....so I had asked her what the sign for "I Love You" was....Soooooooo....using my hand as a template, I traced & cut out of SU Blush Blossom cardstock ( awesome quality)......and stamped the sentiment from Stampin' UP! For a Friend ( level one hostess set) onto a transaprency sheet with stayzon..and colored in the back of the letters with sharpies...layered with dimensionals.FROM MY STAST ( hoarders anon!!) I found this last piece of embossed swirley hearts paper(dont know brand) and the heart doily( shopping spree from a couple of years ago!)...and attached the heart candy with glue dots!..card is 6" x 6"...& finished with retired SU organdy ribbon!....I am putting this card in my ETSY shop today!...Watch for my layout for accountability ( day 7) later today.

THANKFUL ...Papa and Myles

Accountability...days 5 & 6.....whoooooooowhooooooo....almost a week...and I am staying true..so far...so good!...Although..I admit these LAYOUTS (sans pictures) were done at a club at my Stampin Up!, UPUP lines...but, have been sitting "naked" since last year.....Sooooooooo...I thought these pictures from a visit from our Grandguys a few weeks ago fit perfectly!!

This is MYLES (will be 4 in May)...and his PAPA ( my hubby, Mr. Wonderful...aka: Mr. Lowes).Papa was on the ladder ready to hook up a tire swing...and Myles(aka: Smyly) decided he wanted to help.....The center picture is so fun...its like he's saying.."Now, Papa, do you think this chain is gonna hold the tire OK?"
This layout shows Myles looking over THE WALL, which looks down on the basement drive....He was being sooooooooo "brave".....and testing Mama & Papa with his constant curiosity!!...I still need a little more journaling on this page...But...at least its almost complete!!

I have been adding more cards to my ETSY shop..StudioBeeCreations....please see what I've been coming up with....using WHAT I HAVE....I LOVE creating this way....making use of my stash...

Come back tomorrow & see what else I come up with!!

Creative blessings,
