Cardabilities #122

Good morning crafty friends! Happy hump day! Hope y'all

are having a great week! I have a card that I wanted to share with

y'all this morning before I head off to work. I followed the

current sketch from Cardabilities. I am also entering this card into

the current Verve Inspiration Challenge. I really like how

this one turned out. It's a pretty simple card for me. I had to fight

myself to not add to it. I usually don't have this much open

space on my cards.

Viva la Verve May week 2

Good Monday morning crafty friends! Hope y'all had a great week

and are having a good Monday so far! I get to work with one of my favorite

surgeons this morning so I think it'll be a good day! Before I head

off to work I wanted to share a card a made following the May week 2

sketch from Viva la Verve. I loved what Verve Diva Marisa did with the sketch

so much that I couldn't help but create my own version! I just loved

how she placed the flower and butterfly and did a 2 part sentiment. I am also

entering this card into the current Verve Inspiration Challenge and

the photo portion of the current Fusion Card Challenge.

Mojo Monday #396

Good afternoon fellow crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great

weekend! The storms here in central Oklahoma are turning

out to be not as severe as originally anticipated, luckily. I have no

problem with not having to hangout in the storm cellar this evening.

We have had some major flooding throughout the area but it

hasn't been bad in the area where we live. We are on higher ground.

Since I didn't have severe storms to worry about this morning I was

able to get some crafting in! I had been wanting to all week

but have been glued to the weather every night since Tuesday worrying

about darn Oklahoma springtime weather. For my first card I

have to share I followed the current sketch from Mojo Monday. I am

also entering this card into the current Verve Diva Inspirations Challenge

and the photo portion of the current Fusion Card Challenge.

Party Time Tuesdays #197

Hello crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great week so far!

We are having some scary weather this week here in

central Oklahoma. Unfortunately it won't end until Sunday either.

I wanted so much to craft last night after getting off work

early but instead stared at the TV and listen to the sirens go off 

a dozen times over the course of a few hours... I think I'll

get my chance tonight though to create a little, I hope anyways!

Please pray for Bridge Creek, OK as they took a direct

hit. A friend from work's house got damaged and some family

friend's house was completely demolished...

On a more pleasant note... There is another Anything Goes challenge

up on the Party Time Tuesday's challenge page! Hope everyone

will come and play along with us this month!

Here is my creation:

Indie Polish Watch - Nail Hoot

Good morning friends! Hope y'all had a great Monday and are

having an even better Tuesday! As promised, I am back this morning

to share with y'all one of my new handmade favorite finds!

Be aware that this post is very picture heavy so grab a drink and keep scrolling!

Nail Hoot is a new handmade polish brand created by Brandie.

This first collection is five gorgeous colors called "The Beginning."

The prices are $6.25 per each full size bottle, $30 for all five in full size

bottles, and $21.25 for all five in mini bottles. At the moment I only own 3 of the 5

 but I hope to get the other two here in the near future.

First up is Genesis which is a beautiful blue polish that shifts

to teal and green, and is full of gorgeous micro glitters. Here used 3 coats over 

a base coat and topped with Sally Hansen miracle gel topcoat. I am also told it

looks great with 1 or 2 coats over a black base though I have not tried it yet.

(All photos of Genesis were taken utilizing my indoor photo booth)

Next up is Leviticus which is a beautiful sunset color. It's a burnt orange that shifts

to red and pink and has gorgeous micro glitters. Here I used 2 coats over 

a base coat and topped with Sally Hansen miracle gel topcoat.

The third color I own is Deuteronomy which is a gorgeous purple that

shifts blue and has gorgeous micro glitter. I really adore this

one as purple polish is my favorite! Here I used two coats over a base

and topped with Sally Hansen miracle gel topcoat.

The last two polishes in the collection (which I do not yet own) are 

Exodus and Numbers. Exodus is an apple green color with hints of gold shimmer 

while Numbers is a bright pink with blue undertones.
