KinderStampO's motto is Live Craft Inspire so we were asked to write a little something about us that relates to each word in the motto..

Live:
Originally from Illinois, but currently living in the Pacific Northwest with my amazing husband, 4 children, 2 fur babies Lola and Fiona and a fish named Joc. You can say there is never a dull moment in our home. When the kids are at school or busy with friends etc you can find me in my craft room creating.  When I'm not being crafty I love to read, write, draw, listen to music and cook. 

Craft:
I have been scrapbooking for over 19 years now. It all started with a way of keeping our family up to date on how the kids were growing and reaching there milestones, goals etc.  As well as sending hubby mini albums of home while he was on deployment.  I love scrapping the everyday moments the most with a few holidays thrown in.  3 years ago I really got into card making and just love it. Before that I couldn't make a card to save my life.  My style is a Hodge-Podge of Vintage, Shabby Chic to Modern and Clean.

Inspire:
I am inspired by Color, Vintage Images, Art, Music and others whom love to scrapbook and create.  I love being around creative people and enjoy sharing my projects and ideas with others.  I enjoy teaching classes and being involved creatively in my community.

Now don't forget to hop onto Ashley's blog from here...

Happy Birthday Card

Today is the last day of summer vacation for my children... Tomorrow they are back to school and I can't wait to hear all the stories of school, teacher and new friends... We spent the long weekend shopping for school clothes, new shoes and cooking out.  Plus I spent a lot of time in my craft room moving things around and getting organized.  Out with the old and in with the new so to speak.

A Congratulations card....

I wanted to create a different kind of Congratulations card one that really put meaning into the saying without saying Congratulations...  When I was looking at the Simple Stories "Destination collection" at my local scrapbook store the quote "It's not the destination that counts.....

Look what I have been sewing again....

See what I have been sewing again....

I get e-mails every week asking when I am going to put my little owl keychains back in my Etsy shop???  I have been creating these little owls since I was a freshmen in high school and this weekend I have been sewing and sewing these little guys...  I do not have them in my Etsy shop just yet but if you have been waiting for one or want one in certain colors please feel free to e-mail me at ElisaK12 at gmail dot com.  They come either flat for $8 or stuffed for $10.  Each little owl has a hand stitched heart on it's backside.  All hand cut and sewn from my smoke free home. Because they are all hand cut and not from a pattern no 2 are alike. 

I have also been busy creating some canvases featuring my little owls that have been seen in Simply Handmade magazine a few years ago. 

Canvas wall hangings range from $20-$75 depending on size.  Everything is hand sewn onto the canvas.

Thanks for looking and I will be back tomorrow with another project.

Purple Cow's New Wind it tool...

I love creating my own embellishments to add to my projects so when I received the Wind It from Purple Cows I was thrilled. Not to mention that I have had a stock of wire that has just been sitting in my craft room for many years waiting to be created into wonderful embellishments.

The Wind It is an amazing Wire winding template.  With four different templates totaling 10 different unique designs to chose from.

To start you first insert your wire into the small hole of the design you are working with. Wind your wire around the guides following the design.  Once your done simply snip your wire and remove your finished embellishment and adhere it to your project. It really is that easy.

Here is a card I created with a wire embellishment that was created on the Wind It.

Products used:

McGill Dimensional Bird and Tree punches

Kraft Cardstock

Corrugated Cardstock

Core'dinations Glittered Cardstock

Websters Pattern Paper

Making Memories banner

MS mini Pearls

Ribbon

I love creating cards and using my dimensional punches from McGill.  They often add that little something that is needed.  The flowers on the bottom of the bird cage were created with the McGill dimensional tree punch.  I punched out 15 of the little flowers in the punch.  I used my McGill Tool kit and molding mat to cup 10 of the little flowers making sure to cup 5 of the 10 a bit more then the others . I then layered the flowers with a flat one on the bottom and a cupped one in the middle and putting another more cupped one on top.  Then added a Martha Stewart mini pearl to the centers of each of the flowers.  I lined them up where the holes where at the bottom of my birdcage.  Of course I had to add the 2 little birds to the birdcage.  The birds were punched from the McGill dimensional bird punch and I just swapped out each of the birds wings with the others to add character.  I love Kraft paper and often use it for the base of my cards.  I don't know but there is just something about the paper that I just have to use it.

Thanks for checking me out today and if your not already a follower please sign up to be one.

Little Girl cards and a Sketch

Today I would like to share with you a couple cards I made.  Right now I am calling them "My little girl" cards as they don't have a sentiment just yet.  I love creating cards but a lot of the time I am not sure what sentiment I want on it or who I am going to send it off to.  Which is nice as I always have a card ready when I need one.  All I have to do is add the sentiment or just write something inside.  Do you always add your sentiment on the card when you are creating it or do you store it away till it's time to use it and add it then?  I sure hope I'm not the only one. LOL

Products used:

I can't believe I haven't posted for a couple weeks.  Things have been a bit crazy here with the kids schedules, me getting sick and trying to purge all the scrappy stuff in my scrap room so I can once again move and scrap in my scrap room again.  I have also started Weight Watchers.  Now let me tell ya it hasn't been easy...  I am having huge problems drinking all the water and trying to eat all my points worth.  Lets just say I have come to terms with not being able to eat all my points but the drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day is killing me and not to mention I feel like a bloated fish in a tank 10times to big. lol  Oh well I will say that my first week on WW I did loose 2lbs.  I'm doing great and even though I miss my daily Starbucks Green Tea Frap.  I am loving my fruit smoothies. 

On to creative stuff...
