Sharing some projects . . . and STAMPAGANZA is only available for one more week!!!!

Okay, so I didn't get anything "new" done but I thought I'd share some of the projects I've been working on...

The first was one of my first "out of the page" projects using my Cricut and my Pagoda cartridge (Christmas gift! :) ).  Here is my first stab at it.  The flower/kanji pressed plastic was part of a closeout special I had purchased.  I'm not sure what you were to do with it but as the press board clock already had the whole, I thought it would work.

After looking at it for a few months . . . and after the flower/kanji press fell off and finally stayed off, I got time tonight to not only repair but embellish some more.  It was too blah, I had found a kanji stamp I wanted to incorporate and I wanted to make sure I remembered what the kanji meant.  Here is the updated clock.

My good friend and pastor (and her family) is leaving on Sunday and as a gift for her (and an excuse to try it), I made her this:

The butterflies are amazing (if I do say so myself) using a realistic older CTMH stamp set, Cocoa ink, brown embossing powder and some liquid glass stiffened thread, I think they were convincing.  The twig is from a tree up north, moss on a roll, a little hot glue and ribbon and an old jelly jar and I made her day.

I also spent last night straightening and rearranging my craft "corner" . . . doesn't look too bad, huh?
