PEEK-A-BOO!!!!!....Look who's BACK!!!!!

SO very sorry I have been away FOR-EV-ER....I am still working at Lowes and lovin'it...I have moved my BeeHive Studio from the basement to an upstairs bedroom to HOPEFULLY corral my STUFF to a manageable size....( but, seriously, now the basement is a storage facility for all the odds 'n ends & doo-dads that do not fit!)

I am trying to get back in the "creative saddle" again....as I have been dormant for too long...so...beeeeeeeeee sure to check back and see what I have been up to!

In the meantime......

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!

LOOKEE what I got for Valentine's Day!!!

Isn't she just UBER CUTE?????...and what a FUN gift from my most AWESOME hubby (aka:Mr.Lowes)

Sapphire blue metalic...YUMMY-licious!!!!......My first inkling was to pick a yellow bug with a black convertible top....so BEE-ish.....but, I fell in love with this one instead.....I do however plan on some "bee" accessories!!!

I feel like I am starting my blog all over again. I appreciate all the kind words and emails from my faithful followers...those of you who have encouraged me to get back creating and blogging.

I have so many ideas on my creative to-do list....so you just never know what you might find here....beeeeeeeeee sure to buzz back soon!!!

Creative blessings,

Debbie

Raggedy Angel VALENTINE Card for ETSY

In my quest to use what I have...use it up....scrap whats on the table....ACCOUNTABILITY to myself...here is a sweet ( well, I think so!) Valentines card (its not too late to buy this from my ETSY shop!)....The paper doily heart has been in my STASH forever...from a swap I participated in THREE years ago....The Raggedy Angel is one of my handmade creations....really an ornament, but I have repurposed her for the DIMENTIONAL front of this card( altho...she's on there with pop-dots and could be removed & displayed on a peg rack, etc).....6 x 6 DOTS are from who knows what company...SU stamped image.
Sweet & Simple!
And yes....I DO have a LAYOUT to post ( accountability, yeah!!!)...my Grandguy SAM...so, check back!
Thanks for all your comments...and awesome inspirations from my cyber friends!
Have a THOROUGHLY THRILLING THURSDAY!!

VALENTINE Hand-signing WISHING YOU LOVE Card

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.
Please CONTACT me if you'd like to know how to get AWESOME Stampin'UP! products!

VALENTINE'S Treat Cone Favor

Well....here is the FIRST project of the new year ( ok, its still 2007...but, I thought I'd get a JUMP!)....I had to post something...and since I had all my punches neatly on my NEW DISPLAY rack ( thank you my dear, sweet, wonderful husband!)....and I actually could FIND them...I used some left-over Cutie Pie dsp 4 x 4 scrap to create the cone shape...layered tag punches stamped with fun tag from 2008 HAPPY HEART DAY ( I LOVE this sweet set...& I WON it at my UPUP Line's Christmas Party!...whooowhooo!!)..I used the technique I saw on Cambria Turnbow's blog ( oh my, isnt she awesome??) for doing the fun strip down the front of the cone..its called a Corner rounder Criss-Cross...LOVE IT!..I also covered some CHOCOLATE Truffle Treasures with wheeled SCRAPS and added a punched Hugs & Kisses from ALL HOLIDAYS (if you blink, you ALMOST can miss this little cutie in the set!!)A little scrap of gross-grain ribbon ties it all together..
Anyhoo...I just felt a real need to get something posted....and am bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy working on lots more for my OPEN HOUSE this saturday....Hey, if you're in the neighborhood, stop by and PLAY a while!....Thanks for visiting my blog!
