Also...don't forget that today is the last day to enter the Skipping Stones Design Stamp Set Giveaway!

I was blessed with time to create over the weekend and it was truly fabulous, let me tell you! I SOOOO enjoyed my time! I posted a card I made on Saturday and today I am sharing with you a piece I put together yesterday.


Daughter of Time

This piece began with an urge to cover that little box with the brand new tissue tape that I picked up at Micheal's on Saturday. It just sort of began to flow from there...



The clock and wings are Scrolls Work Stamps and both are stamped in Momento ink - even on that silver metallic paper, the Momento worked wonderfully! I used images from a fabulous collage sheet from Retro Cafe. I love these!



I added a couple of pearls to finish the arms and inked the background and the tissue tape covered box to death. I love Distress Inks! HA!



To achieve this look, I sprayed a liquid ink, Radiant Rain by Luminarte for Creative Imaginations, and then, while it was still wet, I blew it in various directions with a straw. *Funny Story.* I was looking for a straw and all I could find was a reusable plastic bendy straw that came with a cup that I had in the 'extra cups' cabinet in the kitchen. I figured, whatever...any straw should do the trick, so I pulled it and went to my studio. It whistled. Loudly. HA! I shifted the first spot of ink and the first thing out of my mouth was, "REALLY???" HA! Then The Hubbums quickly questioned what the HECK I was doing to create such a horrible noise! HAHAHA! It was pretty hilarious, actually. Hmmm...maybe you had to be there.

ANYWAY...you can also push the ink around a bit with a toothpick or the end of a paintbrush or whatever you might have handy. I added to the wording already on the card to create my title.

So...that's what I did this weekend! Fun stuff! And I love it! Just say'n.

Happy Monday, folks!

You're FABULOUS, DAHLING!!!!

I am having a FABULOUS Saturday, can I just tell you that? For reals. I got to go to Mike's today and I got the Tim Holtz tissue tape I've been wanting for a project along with a new Cricut Cart for $10!!! YAY for sales!!! AND...a cute pair of socks from the dollar spot, just for fun! WAY fun trip to Mike's. Just say'n.

And...then I got to create for a seriously good chunk of the day AND I'm wearing an outfit I love. SOooo....it's been a good day.

So...in my creating I decided to jump in on this week's CPS challenge...I didn't realize it is actually DUE today, though, so I made the card and then decided to do a fun weekend blog post to show you guys my WAY cute card!



Isn't it WAY fun??? I certainly think so! I used some super fabulous papers from the Ooh La La collection by Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations. LOVE these papers! AND...you guys are totally getting a bonus because that insanely paper pieced purse just so happens to be a SNEAK PEEK of Tuesday's Skipping Stones Design release! Umm....yup. WICKED CUTE STAMPS. Just say'n.



Soooo...there you have it. A Saturday post from Jingle...It's a weekend miracle! HA! See you folks laaaaaateeeerrrrrrrr!

Splitting Jeans

I pulled on one of my favorite pairs of jeans this morning. Moved to get them into place, as I usually do and heard that ever so dreadful sound of tearing denim.

Yup. They split. Just say'n.

The Hubbums was there right away to tell me that it wasn't because I was fat and that they are Old Navy jeans, and, well, quite frankly, not the highest quality in the world (but when I pay $15 or less for them, what am I expecting, exactly...hmmm...).

*sigh* But still.

Not a fun way to start your Friday.

I am, however, SOOOO looking forward to the weekend. I am currently working on three dolls, so I hope to finish at least one of them up and put some serious time into the other two, as well.

Oh...and I may be off to Old Navy to replace my jeans. They are, afterall, one of my favorites. Just say'n.

Have a great Friday!

Yoplait Fiber One Blueberry Giveaway!

I have a confession. I am a bit obsessed with yogurt. No, for reals. I have at least one every day. I love the stuff. AND...I happen to also be a huge fan of Fiber One products...partly because I leaned on them heavily when I was losing weight with Weight Watchers. Honestly, I love the flavors of Fiber One products and their yogurt is no exception. It is super yummy! AND...get this...50 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 0 fat in each serving. Yup. That's my kind of snack!

I have always been thrilled with my CSN orders in the past so I am really excited for this one!

I Need Help. For Reals. {WOYWW}

My entire studio is an ever loving DISASTER! I need to really cull, but I have done that and feel like I really use most of the supplies I currently have. Actually...most of my supplies aren't the problem...they are stored and organized well...I just seem to have a bunch of 'other' stuff around that I don't know what to do with. I might have to do the whole...box it up, put it in the basement and if I don't need it for six months get rid of it kind of thing. I don't know. I just know it is a mess.


This is my desk right now. Crazy, I know! And this is ALL stuff I use regularly! Hence it being ON my desk and all. I'm less concerned about this, though, because at least I know that everything on here HAS a home and if I just start the process I can get that cleaned up fairly quickly...it's the rest of the room that is still a problem! HA!

Do you see my new clay tools on there, though? I'm wicked excited about those! BETTER sculpting from JINGLE on the way! I will certainly use them for polymer clay stuff, but I think I can really use them for detail stuff on paper clay, too! YAY!!!


Also, sitting there casually upon my desktop, you see the FABULOUS stamps that I am giving away in yesterday's post!!!! YAY! If you haven't checked that out yet, click here if you want to enter!

So...my goal is to have this desk cleaned off before next Wednesday. I'm not promising a clean one on Wednesday, as I might use it after I clean it...HA! But, at least it needs an overhaul before I do that. I will work on the room, too, but the desk needs to happen first. Then the room. Then happy Jingle. Just say'n.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Wednesday! For more What's On Your Workspace posts check out The Stamping Ground!

Narnia Or My Front Yard? You Pick. Just Say'n. {Wordless Wednesday}
