OITNB, GoT, and CRAFTING

These are sheer indulgences for me! All of which I'm going to give in to tonight.

Orange Is The New Black - my son has binge watched Season 3 and keeps telling me it's soooo good.  If it's anything like Seasons 1 & 2 it has to be great. I'm going to start watching tonight.

Then there's the finale of this season's Game of Thrones. I started reading the books well into Season 2 and then played catch-up with the show. I'm addicted and happy my son watches - it gives me someone to discuss it with! Love it so much I'm planning on reading the books again, even though I haven't yet finished the last one. The last 2 episodes have been so awesome - can't imagine how they're going to get the finale even close! Definitely watching that tonight.

And crafting - I've got that in my plans tonight, too!  I love to craft and watch my shows together.  Keeps my mind and my hands busy (and keeps my hands out of the chip bowl!).

I've got a few more flowers to make for my project. Here's a before quilling and after photo:

I'm also planning on working on a scrapbook page. I've been gathering parts, pieces, & papers as well as ideas on what I'd like to do.  Stay tuned - I'll post the finished product soon!

In the mean time, gotta go get my laptop ready for my shows...  Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!

A LITTLE LOOK

A friend of mine from CTMH has a fantastic creative mind.  I love the projects she comes up with. In anticipation of the 4th of July I decided to make one of her pieces.

Here's a peek at what I'm working on:

These are cut from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.  I love making them!

I still have more to make, enhancements to add, and the project to build.  Stay tuned and...

Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!

What I've Been Up To

Wow, does time go by fast!  I kept telling myself I needed to post on here, but every time I thought about it I realized I hadn't been very creative!  Well, I've been creative MENTALLY.


My daughter Melissa had a wedding to go to and asked me to make a wedding card.  The colors were yellow & gray.  I made a very simple card, using embossing for only the 2nd time.  I really love the texture it adds to cards - it can really take plain up a few notches to sophisticated.



After the wedding my daughter brought home one of the programs and I was so pleased to see that my heart embellishment actually matched the hearts used in the program!

Other than that card I've been kind of busy and hadn't had a chance to really sit down and do anything.  But this past Saturday I took care of that!

I started at 9 PM and was really productive! I managed to get 5 pages done in just a few hours.  I finished scrapbook pages for the Justin Timberlake concert that Melissa and I attended.

I found the cutest photo of my son Matthew and my Mom from when Matthew was 1-1/2 years old, so I scrapbooked that page.

I'm planning a more creatively productive June - I already started working on a Red, White, & Blue project.  What are you working on?  Upload pics... and you just might find yourself the lucky winner of a little CTMH gift pack!

Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!
