Happy with Gold at CHA!

 It's Tammy Louise sharing with all of my lovely followers on this last day of CHA!  This year the show turned out just magnificent!  Jody Stacy and I have been circulating images and talking to people while I've demo'd coloring and creating tags for the entire show.

 

I'm anxious to get home to me lovelies for sure, but I have had such a terrific time learning and sharing, peeking and experimenting that I can't wait to come back next year as well!  I guess that's called torn! lol

I've colored Leprechan Lara by MiRan in rubber exclusively at Treasured Times for today's project!  Coordinated with the gorgeous and lush Kingdom Green and gold paper by Michele Roos!  I place it on one of my templates int he shape of a Pot 'O' Gold and place my favorite little clover dies on ones side while filling the pot with every last one of my golden buttons in my stash!  

Fun to make but that image . . . .  Coloring to die for!  Get her while you can for sure!

Happy Monday!  It's the start of a new week again, and I've geared up for a CAS MiRan project to share with you all!  This cutie is only available in clear rubber at Treasured Times Rubber Stamps and her name is Happy Thoughts!  I was humbled and privileged to be asked to color for the package insert on this beauty!  Thank you so much Jody Stacy!

If I had to guess, she's wondering if she's been good enough to get what she asked Santa for?  Her little friend is trying to convince her that she has, but you never know!  lol  I've added some great spotty ribbon and just a few adorable color coordinated buttons to the project and that great sentiment!  That's it, this is all about the gorgeous image!

Quick and Simple Holiday Card and Video

CAS HOLIDAY CARD WITH MI RAN AND A VIDEO

So, every year I'm asked whether or not I can make some cute little Christmas cards for my mom to mail out to relatives!!  Every year, I come up with a card that she is happy with that isn't the type of card that is either going to financially break the bank, or take the entire year to make!!! lol

This year I was blessed with designing for the generous and wonderfully easy to work with Jody Stacy!  The owner of Treasured Times Rubber Stamps store who has recently begun working with one of my favorite stamp artists Mi Ran Jung!!  There are some exclusive designs that Jody has made available in rubber from Mi Ran and I've colored up my favorite so far and designed a CAS Holiday card for mum with it!  

I've created a video showing how to design this quick card with loads of tips I've learned along my crafty journey that I hope inspires you to get out some of those tools you forget you have, use up some of that paper that is too large to toss but too small to create an entire project with, and to save money by altering some of your embellishments with the mediums you already have!   Have fun and enjoy your Holiday card making!

My You Tube channel address is below in case the video doesn't upload!!  Stop by any time to check out some terrific tips and tricks on cutting dies, recycling some of your cut papers on some super quick Holiday makes!!

Sharing knowledge has helped mankind survive and evolve into the intelligent and productive species he is today. In the animal kingdom and indeed in business, knowledge sharing can make the difference between survival and extinction.
