More photos soon...I can't wait to find something fun to do with these!

Simple Tag, Favorite Stamp

Hello hello!

I thought I'd swing by real fast to show everyone this quick tag I threw together. I'm not sure yet what I'll use it for, but I do know that I am in LOVE with that bird cage stamp, designed by Tim Holtz (of course).

I used a few more Tim Holtz Stamps, three shades of the blue Distress Inks, and some Adirondack Dimensional Pearls in Espresso. I love the cool color in contrast to the stark Staz-on Jet Black ink. 

Simple tag, but so calming and therapeutic to make. The best part about this hobby is taking familiar products and creating something, no matter how simple, without thinking and actually having the possibility of it turning out to look decent.

Leave me some love, and let me know what you think! I love reading comments, especially while I'm trying my very best to make it through these last few weeks of work before summer vacation :)

Besides Crafting

I know it's hard to believe, but I actually had something ELSE to do on Saturday, besides hang out in my craft room! While I missed getting my hands messy, it was fantastic visiting family that I hadn't seen in quite some time.

This beautiful girl turned 16 yesterday. Her name is Havah, and my grandparents adopted her when she was just a baby. Technically, she's my aunt...weird :) For her birthday, she asked for jewelry - so of course I made her some! My mom and I used steel washers to make her two necklaces. I didn't get any decent pictures of them before giving them to her, but she's wearing one of them in this photo:

and my grandpa is showing off both of them in this photo:

Here's a few more photos from the party :)

Just thought I'd show you what I'd been up to this weekend. Have a wonderful Sunday!
