Buy what you see!

I finally got around to opening my etsy shop.  Now if you see something here on the blog and you think "oh man! I MUST have that immediately!"  you can click on over and I will send it to you :)

How easy is that?  Now, if you see something you like and you think, "oh man! not only do I need to have that RIGHT NOW, but I also need to be able to make more of them for myself, friends and family!" you can click on over and buy supplies either by clicking that little 'shop now' button you see up top or by clicking shop inktasticfun and make sure you select me as your demonstrator to get even more savings.

Now for the craft o' the day:

How cute are these?  I made a batch of them last night for favors for a christmas brunch my mom is throwing.  I think they will look great on her table settings.

Speaking of tables, now you've seen my kitchen island and coffee table serving as impromptu backdrops.  Both are pretty scary in high res :)

well that's all for today.  go on over and check out my etsy shop and let me know what you think...

Holiday Ornament

Here's a first try at the very famous Stampin' Up! Ornament from the cover of the holiday catalog:

I used Be of Good Cheer DSP and the Holiday Ornaments Framelits and a little creativity (and hot glue) to get it to all adhere nicely.  I think I will make up a few more to give out as gifts to my family at Christmas.  Generally I bake a ton and a half of cookies, but I think I'll use these ornaments to dress up my little tins this year.

What do you think?  I'm pretty happy how it came out and I like using the double side of the DSP for coordinating colors.

Christmas Organizer

Saturday I took a few minutes and made myself a Christmas Organizer out of a composition book and some random paper I had laying around:

I think it came out rather well and it should help keep me some what less frazzled as I navigate December.  I make most of the gifts we give to family and friends and I really need to keep it all together to avoid the last minute bake-a-thon that usually keeps me up all night once or twice during the holiday season.

Here is my inaugural post on my new crafty blog!  Snazzy, right? Maybe not, I haven't done this in a while and the last time I blogged regularly it was to document the hilarity of my sleep deprivation of gestating and then having very tiny (but very loud) twins.  Now the girls are less tiny, but not less loud and I've embarked on a new-ish journey to find my inner Martha.  Turns out I am rather crafty after all!

Here's a quick little anniversary card I made for my dearest darling hubs for our anniversary last month.  If I can get this to post and look reasonable, I will put up some of the fall and thanksgiving themed things I've been working on.

So without further ado, my card:

Oooh! Look! It worked!  and it's super cute.  My photography is a little lacking, but you can't have everything right?  Let's see if I can upload the snazzy envelope I made as well:

Spectacular!  Look at me!  I'm all sorts of smart today!  For my big finale, I will try to get this to crosspost over on my Stampin' Up blog where you can click through to get some of the nifty little tools that I used to make this super fancy looking card in about 5 minutes or less. 

Wish me luck!  and hopefully I'll be back Monday with more crafty goodness at inktasticfun.stampinup.net
