Sweet Stamp Shop and May Arts Ribbon





Happy Wednesday!

Today I am sharing a card using Sweet Stamp Shop and May Arts! You can check out the SSS blog for projects using both companies all week. If you follow along and comment on each day... there are a few prizes involved. Make sure to check out the SSS blog for the details.

I looooove me some SSS stamps and I loooooooe May Arts Ribbon! When I think of quality ribbon... I think of May Arts. I have a pretty big collection of May Arts ribbon and twine! May Arts is my favorite hands down!! You can check out the May Arts blog here and the store here.

On my project today, I used Sweet Spring and Against the Grain stamp sets. I used two different orange ribbons by May Arts. I just layered the smaller ribbon on top of the wider ribbon!



I hope you are having a great day today! I didn't get in the bed until 4am this morning and I am typing up this post 'live' so... if I seem a little loopy... forgive me! :) We have some insulation guys coming to spray more insulation in our attic which means we had to get it cleaned out. I now need a nap and a massage! :) But my attic looks great! :)

Peace and Love!

Hugs for Janelle Hayes


I was asked by the sweet Laurie if I wanted to participate in a blog hop for Janelle Hayes. My answer was an immediate "YES"! I love Janelle and am honored to be a part of a blog hop in her honor!

If you don't know Janelle... she was diagnosed at the end of July with a Stage 4 brain tumor that is inoperable. The past month or so has been the most difficult time for Janelle as far as her physical health has been concerned. Up until a few weeks ago... Janelle was able to keep up with her blog and continue her passion for crafting. Her husband, Ken, has been updating her blog lately because Janelle has not been able or not felt like doing so. I am praying that Janelle will feel well enough to get back at it soon!

Janelle and Ken are both wonderful people and I am so blessed that myself and my family were able to enjoy dinner with them a couple of years ago as they were passing through Tennessee. Janelle has always been so encouraging and she is someone that I have a great amount of respect for.

If you would like to show some blog love/support for Janelle and Ken... you can link your post at Laurie's blog... here! You will have a couple of days to do so .... but why not get started now! :)

Most importantly... please keep Janelle and Ken in your prayers! I am praying for healing and comfort and I hope that you will as well!

I love you Janelle! I love you too Ken!

Mani and Pedi Time with Whisker Graphics


This is my 2nd post of the day... please scroll down for my Avocado Arts post. 

I LOVE the Whisker Graphics Bitty Bags! Today I am showing one that I used to make a gift card holder. I had my mother-in-law in mind when I made this. Usually at Christmas time each year... one of her gifts from us is a gift card to her favorite salon to get her nails done.

Here is the bags that I used for this holder....

There are several different options as far as sizes... you can visit the shop here.

I used the nail polish bottle from Hello Beautiful by Sweet Stamp Shop and the sentiment is from Gift Card Sentiments from My Creative Time.

This project is on the Whisker Graphics blog today... make sure to go visit!

Peace and Love!

Hey Chick with Avocado Arts


Happy Thursday!

Today I am showing a card that I made using the March Avocado Arts Kit called Springtime Celebrations!

I made my card base and stamped the image and sentiment on my base. Then I stamped the image on the colors, cut out the pieces and paper pieced onto my base. I used glossy accents on the glasses and liquid pearls on dots on the egg.

I Want It Gone

Hey Peeps... Happy Saturday and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

You guys have heard me mention my For Sale page a few times over the last month! :)

I am wanting to get rid of everything... I don't like it just sitting around! And I don't want to put it all back up either!

So.... I have boxed it all up into 2 different Large Flat Rate boxes.  You will have to click over to my For Sale page to see all of the sets listed ... most of them with links.

The first box I am selling for $120 (including shipping)... all together it is $193 worth of stuff (which is half off the retail price)... not including shipping. So... big price but pretty good deal for like new/new supplies.

It includes all of the Stampin' Up!, Unity, and Punches that I have listed on my For Sale Page.

The second box I am selling for $100 (including shipping)... all together $188 worth of stuff (half off retail price) ... not including shipping. Again... big price but good deal.

It includes the PTI set, all Hero sets, Heartfelt Creations sets and Dies, Skipping Stones, Practicing Creativity, Banners Shapeabilities,  and all the stamps in the Other category!

Email me at kelleyweubanks@gmail.com if you are interested in either box. If you live outside of the US and are interested.... I will ship to you but I will ask that you pay anything over the $15.45 Flat Rate Shipping to get it to you!

You probably won't be seeing me post about what is currently for sale much longer! So.. if you are think you might be interested in any of it... let me know. It won't be sitting here much longer and I won't be selling it any cheaper than what I am today!

Thanks for popping in! :)

Peace and Love!

March Avocado Arts with a Touch of April


Happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing a card with you using the March Avocado Arts stamp set called Springtime Celebrations with a sneak peek of the April set (the sentiment) called Sew Nice.

This is the March set... along with the Digi files that are also sold in the AA store.


I also used the set Avocado Style Borders and Sentiments on the grass.



I made my card base. Cut my white mat. Stamped and colored my images. Then I cut my piece of green and trimmed the top with scissors. I stamped the background and sentiment, added rhinestones and adhered the card together with liquid glue and dimensionals. I also added a touch of glossy accents to the clover!

Make sure to check out the rest of the DT blogs today for more inspiration/sneak peeks! :) Also.... here is a link to the information about becoming an Avocado Arts Kit Club Member!!

Sweet Stamp Shop and Ribbon Carousel


Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing a project using Sweet Stamp Shop stamps... Sweet Spring... and ribbon from The Ribbon Carousel.  Isn't it so pretty?

The Ribbon Carousel has a new challenge going on and it is sponsored by The Sweet Stamp Shop! Make sure to check it out here... and visit the Sweet Stamp Shop blog too for more DT links! :)


I made this little Easter treat bucket using one of those cups that you use to die eggs in. I have a TON of them ... long story. Anyway... I plan to make 13 of these... or something similar to give to Carvers preschool class for Easter. The finished ones will have candy in them of course... I just haven't shopped for the candy yet. If I leave it around here too long... I may eat it! :)

Instagram Monday

Happy Monday! I don't have anything crafty to share today but I thought I would share some recent Instagram pics! :) You know how I love Instagram!
 

 Friday morning breakfast at McDonald's! :) Love this pic! They love each other!!

 Momma's new toy! :) I went with a cheaper version than what I had in mind.... but I think it will serve me just fine!

 I kept this from Cracker Barrel. I think it is the first time Carver has ever written letters/words in one of these. Michael had to tell him the letters to write but he was able to take it from there!! So proud! :)

 Tucker has apparently decided to take back his room. He has been hanging out with me in my craft room lately! :) 

 This picture shows how Tucker got his name. He will also tuck his head under your arm or whatever. It is really sweet! He is a sweet kitty boy!

 On Wednesday of last week, John Mackay... a Creationist... came to speak to the youth at church. The next day... they went on a field trip looking for fossils, etc. On Friday... Michael took Carver and I to one of the local spots they had gone to the day before. :)



Carver had to bring home a pet rock! :) It is sitting on 'my front porch'! Hee hee!

Hope you have a wonderful day! :) 

Peace and Love!

Weekend Sale on My For Sale Page

I have marked down the prices on my For Sale page on most everything except the May Arts Ribbon!

I want to get rid of this stuff so take a look! :) As of right now... the sale prices are just good for this weekend. I thought the prices were pretty good before with most everything like new (except not in original packaging) and being half off. So... it is temporary through the weekend unless I decide different before Monday! :)

The sale prices are in red!

Peace and Love!! :)
