Perfect Poison

Can you believe it is September already?  My kids have been in school for almost a month already.  CRAZY!  I have two months till halloween and already I am stressing about costumes.  Baby M is going to be a bee (scored that one last year at Walmart for like $4).  Baby E tells me he wants to be a hot dog . . . or Buzz Lightyear comes up frequently too . . . not sure which he will decide.  J says he wants to be a zombie but when I showed him this creepy zipper face picture I saw on pinterest (which I would totally love to try), he rejected it . . . far too scary, so we will see how that goes.  E wants to be one of the Monster High Monsters.  I delayed it last year, but this year since she has read the books and really still likes them a lot, I will let her do it.  Then I just have to figure out me and the hubs.  Ooh, and then classroom treats have to be made too!  I think I am going to do some stamping for those too . . . we shall see!

This one was my favorite of the four cards I stamped on Tuesday!  I just love this image!  Totally perfect and spooky!  I used the sketch on the Card Positioning Systems blog (CPS280).  Aren't these Krafty Kimmie Stamps just DARLING?!?!?  *squeals*  I seriously want them all!  So fun and easy to color!  Go get some (and seriously, I don't work for the company in any way -- I just love them!!)

Stamps:  Perfect Poison (Kraftin' Kimmie), 2009 Halloween Tags (Papertrey Ink)  Paper:  Halloween Word Mix (The Paper Studio - Hobby Lobby), Tiny Polka White on Black (The Paper Studio - Hobby Lobby), Only Orange (SU!), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah)  Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)  Accessories:  Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), SewEasy Fancy Fiber - Bakers Twine Neutral (We R Memory Keepers), Orange Ribbon - Harvest Home Collection (Michaels Inc.), Sewing machine (Singer), black thread (Singer), copic markers.

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

A good mail day

Yesterday was an awesome mail day! I got my swaps from Jody (texasjodylynn). Let me explain, each month, Jody and I swap three things -- cards, 3D objects (usually), and sometimes goodies we find that we think the other person might like. We have done this for about 6 months I think. Well yesterday I got the most amazing Jody package. Here are a few pictures of the stuff inside. The chocolate box was made with designer paper and said "You make life sweet" on top and inside there were some yummy dove chocolates. Seriously, dark chocolate is the BEST! Next I found this most gorgeous purse with some treasures inside it. Some gems and some princess brads, and a harry potter bookmark. The purse itself is amazing. I asked Jody how she did it and she said with chalk and craft inks and lots of embossing powder. It just shines. It is just so amazing. She put in so many brads and she said she even had to use a drill on it. Amazing! I avoid scary tools like drills wher...
