Crafter's Creed
I, fellow crafter pledge the crafter’s creed
No subbie, subscriber, follower, face- book friend shall supersede
To like videos, leave nice comments
A wonderful craft community to breed
Make funky tutorials, inspiring projects
With good ideas to lead
And never use message boards to stir trouble and mislead
Take credit without giving honor
No never this misdeed
Yes shout outs and video links are always guaranteed
However, auctions, bids and sales
I will beware - take heed
Of haul enablers who want me to buy
Who beg cry and plead
But if I fail and succumb
I vow to share the greed
With freebies and giveaways many craft rooms to feed
Because when I purge and destash only then am I’m freed
From all the stuff that I bought that I don’t really need
And if the hot glue gun causes me to burn and bleed
or I fail to meet swap deadlines as decreed
or need a break from blog hoppin go away and recede
I will lay down my craft and simply concede
Bake cupcakes and cookies
mix and knead
Grab a shovel plant a garden
sow a seed
With Frappuccino coffee and a craft magazine to read
Then organize and clean my craft room
and proceed
To send a card, happy mail,
RAK up a good deed
Shabby chic, altered - distressed
pretty things indeed
Swap for swap tag for tag, card for card
bead to bead
With priority mail and tracking
A super- fast shipping speed
So if I’m seen haulin and stallin
Then please intercede
Call crafters everywhere - a crafters stampede
To get back on track-finish projects -succeed
And to my new friends and followers this I shall reread
Now take the pledge by liking, subscribing or sharing
If agreed

Peachy Keen Love Clock Card Okay, this is my first challenge ever and I'm a little nervous. I absolutely adore the laughy taffy faces and have conjured up a gazillion ways to use them. The love clock project is the one I'm feeling and sharing today. I started off using regular rubber stamps clocks but wasn't really feelin the Roman numbers so I decided to make my own clocks using my Pazzles cutter and Gel pens using hearts and XO's instead of numbers. [Photo]I didn't desire a overly girly card so I decided against the lovey doby patterned papers keeping it simple and straight to the point giving it a masculine feel with plain cardstock and black mats/leather type paper ribbon. Of course since the card is flirtatious I had to add some lace.... Give this card to your crush and if he don't know what time it is well he just can't tell time!
One hour ago I recieved my brads and gems from Oriental Trading. To my dismay the gem brads were plastic and lacked the glimmer and glitz i was hoping for. The glitter brads were okay but wasn't worth the price as the quanity was low. The best value was the basic brads which i purchased in bulk in all 3 sizes. The Christian stickers were also nice as well as the foggy brads (only purchased one pack). Despite my disappointment I will find a way to make the gem brads sparkle and shine like the real stuff.
I visit Joann's and Tuesday Mornings at least 4 times a week. Today, I found some wonderful deals. Clear rubber stamps (valued at $10 and $15 were $97c and $1.97 at Joann's. I also found some other amazing deals including stickers and paper at Tuesday Mornings. When shopping at Tuesday Mornings please understand they usually have scrapbooking materials in several areas of their store (I learned this today when i decided to walk around the store and found a whole area of Scrabooking items I never knew existed). I will post pictures of these deals and have fun shopping at these stores. P.S. Always get price checks on Joann's clearance items as they are sometimes cheaper than what is listed. The clear stamps i purchased were discounted to $4.97 but actually came up $97c at the register.
