D'Savagely Created Designz

ah….. Back to school

Well it’s that time of year again! The kids are back to school and I am as busy as ever. Since getting back in the groove of things I have created wedding invitations, learned a new Cello song and have learnt that there are many changes yet to come. I am working on getting back into blogging so bear with me. It’s been since January and life has gotten the best of me. With that being said I have a few things I would like to share….

a special card for someone special… U know who you are. :)

a picture perfect for a postcard of St. Lucia where I vacationed this summer for one whole glorious week with out hubby or kids. I went with a friend of mine that needed a roommate to share in her adventure of going out of country for the first time ever!

Is Spring Here yet?

The wonderful hub cap above was found one day while my kids were just a house away from our own.  It was conveniently placed the hedge for all to see and of course a perfect picture moment. On this day the boys and I decided to take a walk and see what was new in the neighborhood and see if we could find anything interesting and whola we found this hubcap.

Anyhow.. the work saga continues and I don't wish to bore you all with it anymore, cause really who gives a s__t!

So I have done a lot of scrapbooking and card making lately and will try to get some the things I have created posted. I just have to take some photos, but I do have a couple to share with you. Sorry no deets as I have no time to figure it out. These cards are not stamped but actually using large stickers. I had designed them for a local scrapbooking store and I don't think I ever posted. If I did I am sorry but they so reminded me of SPRING!

 

I hope you all have a great day!

Time Flies when you having fun...

Another few weeks have flown by and I have nothing to show for it.  What could be better than getting your children settled into their new routines and of course the lunch-making ahead of time, the bed-making, the teeth and face washing and getting out the door on time,  Did I say I enjoy this... not particularly as I have to get ready too on top of it all.

My crafting time has been some what excluded from the daily events and that somewhat bothers me, but I have enough to contend with at the moment that I am content with what time I do get. I am grateful for many things lately and I am sorry I have taken advantage of other things. I am grateful for the many friendships I have and the time that my friends give me. I know I don't tell them enough and if they read this blog they know who they are. I am also grateful from my wonderful husband. The true passion of our friendship and relationship has changed over the years with many ups and downs but  our commitment to one another has remained and that is something I can truly say I cherish.  We will be celebrating our 17th Anniversary this month and I have to say I don't think I would have changed a single year. For those who know me might think I'm crazy, but this is the god honest truth, even though I have complained during those times. LOL

So, be thankful for what you have and not what you don't have.

Now if I could just get some crafting done and quit being so sentimental and just because I have written so much doesn't mean I don't have anything to share this time......

     

The above cards are using Stampin' Up! products whether they are current or retired as well as my Spellbinder dies.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy October!!

Cards to showcase, finally!

Here are couple of cards that I created last month. They are both using mainly SU! products except for the Lg. layering square and scallop rectangle I used that are by Spellbinders. I love the way the Sage Shadow and Basic Gray cardstocks worked. That is old DSP, but what else can I say I am trying to get rid my old stock. :)

If you have any questions about them, do not hesitate to drop me a line.

Happy Stampin'!!      Diane

 

Something Old, something new!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while again, but it just seems I don't have much to post and I don't like to always post about my personal life. It's hard for me to post about my personal feelings and what's going on in my life. So, that's why I don't post more often. :)

 

So now, let's get onto what I created. I was digging through the tons of Designer Scrap-booking kits that Stampin' Up! offered a while ago and I mean tons. LOL (Karen you can stop laughing now.) I decided that this would make a good class to offer for a group that I have.  They will each get a half of the kit and all the papers to make the cards you see here, as well as, a little carry pouch. 

Hope you like it and get inspired to use up that old stock of supplies you have sitting around. :)  Also, if you aren't particular and would like to make some cards using some Designer Scrap-booking kits you can order on my Demo Web-site. They have some great kits with lots of options for scrap-book pages or cards.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy Creating..........

Stamper's Club project:

Hi all,

Here's a project for my upcoming Stamper's Club.  It's called a Spring card and I found the directions for it on Splitcoast Stampers. You can view the directions if you click the link.  I used some of my new designer paper add used the corners that I had cut off as accents.

This paper is the new Raspberry Tart DSP from Stampin' Up! I wanted to make a card that could be used for a Valentines or for Friendship.  It was so easy to make, the hardest part was to pick which stamp I wanted to use. This set is call Illuminations and is in the current Stampin' Up! Idea book & Catalog. I used Perfect Plum, Rose Red and Regal Rose makers to color the image. As an accent I used one of the crystal brads from the Pretties Kit.

Hope you like it!

Valentine's project

Mini Pizza box with 3 x 3 cards inspired by Jen del Muro's and Desiree Spenst

Here's a project I created for a group of ladies that is fairly new to stamping and the city. They loved the project and I had a a lot of fun doing it with them. I even had a couple of extra kits that I made up to give to a couple of my close friends.

As for any other crafting I am still working on my Big Picture scrap-booking class and have been working on some canvas.

I also spent the day yesterday with my buddy Laurie yesterday. We didn't get many creations done, but we enjoyed our time together. Thanks, Laurie!

Cheers,

Okay, I know it's been a long time....

I have been busy working, handling life issues, etc. The computer hasn't been my first priority let alone my blog and I am really sorry for that.  I have been doing classes at a LSS and training employees at another office. There has been hardly anytime to scrapbook or card making for me personally and it BITES!! I am two weeks behind in my Cathy Z class and struggling to make my own Christmas cards.  I don't know how so many keep their cards and blogs going. I don't seem have to time to do much other then clean the house, work outside, laundry, etc. Oh the life of me! LOL  Okay enough bitching and onto some cards that I made recently for the LSBS class

  

Thanks for stopping by!!

Heart to Heart blog candy

I came across this site while surfing that is celebrating World Alzheimer's Day, and also giving away a huge blog candy! I wanted to share the link with everyone I know.  I too had someone in my family pass from Alzheimer's and it is a very terrible disease, and my heart goes out to anyone and everyone who has had to deal with it.  Please support this association and the caregivers that provide such an invaluable service to the people that have to live with this disease. Please visit this blog to find out more information.

Here is my submission that I will be sending to the workers that I know in Edmonton to send my gratitude for the work they do.

I also wanted to share these cards that I made using some stickers! OMG can you believe I said stickers. I was given a challenge and I had to come up with a quick and easy card that used this paper and stickers. What was I thinking. ;) I am always up for a challenge. It wasn't that bad and they really turned out wonderful consider the supplies I needed to use. LOL

Tell me what you think, I still can believe they are stickers. LMAO

Smiles,

Diane

Cards for Mojo Week #45

It's been a little while since I have created some cards.  I have been working on some other projects that are a little more work than I bargained for and have bitten off more that I can chew.... it's called scrapbooking the kids pictures.  Had I had the time before to do this I would have started my 9 year olds album awhile back as well as the 5 years old's album, but time hasn't been on my side and now I am playing catch up. LOL Can't forget in that mix too I want to get my wedding album done too! HA! HA! HA! I laugh myself silly as to the thousand of photos and ideas running around in my head that I would like to accomplish in my scrapbooking of the family albums.

Anyhow on to Julee's Mojo sketch.

I just love this Monkey paper and thought that I would create this fun boy card.  I have a little boy's birthday coming up that Austin is suppose to be attending and thought this would be a great card for that.  Besides, it is mainly masculine birthday's around here that the boyz attend so why not have some in stock right! :)

This next one I specifically made for my cousin, who should just be my big brother, but due to the laws of nature and genealogy it can't be that way. :) I loved this time piece set that SU! put out a couple of years back and decided to play with it for Julee's sketch.

Hope you enjoyed!
