The Dirt on Stamp Cleaners

Oh my gosh you all have to check this out. Think I might start making this stuff myself and save a little green for more stamps! Linda Heller at Where the Rubber Hits the Road Blog has a video on stamp cleaners. She took the recipes that everyone has and compared them against SU Mist Cleaner and the Stazon Cleaner. I love her blog as she test all kinds of things for our stamping additions and you know if it is myth or for real. If you get time check it out, you won't be disappointed and will learn all kinds of things on her blog. She has tested many things and has video's I believe on all of the things she tested so you get the inside scoop.
Hope you all find this helpful.
I promise I will be sharing soon some more projects.

Pine cone Penguins, Cardinal and Mouse

I was doing a little blog surfing tonight and run across this cute Pine cone Penguin. These are on the Martha Stewart website. I have tons of Pine cones in my yard. Not sure how nice since the snow has hit them but going to find out tomorrow and see. If not then this will make a good project for next year. These are so cute, I just had to share with you all. They also have a Christmas Pine cone Cardinal which is also adorable and a Pine cone Mouse. Any and all of these would be so cute on a Christmas Tree or scattered around some candles as a center piece. The photo's are small so I will not show them here so click on the links and check them out.
Tomorrow I should have another homemade project for you.

Patty Penguin

I have been so busy with Mom and back and forth to the clinic and hospital with her. She is out again and doing ok. Dehydrated and her kidney levels was way down. Then with Thanksgiving I got a little behind again.
We got snow on Thursday morning and this time it stayed. Been real cold here so have been trying to stay in as much as possible with this fibro.
I love working with punches. This little penguin turned out so cute. I put him on a mini notebook. I also used the Snowflake embossing folder with Bashful Blue and put that as my background cover and inside cover. I just used black card stock for the binding.
For punches I used the following:
Word Punch (Real Red)
1/2" circle punch (Real Red)
1 1/4" circle punch (head done in basic black)
13/8" circle punch ( hat done in whisper white)
Wide Oval Punch (basic black for body)
Large Oval Punch (whisper white for belly)
Small Oval Punch (basic black for his arms)
1/4" circle punch (eyes) Now I have two 1/4" punches one is larger than the other so did the smaller one in basic black for his eyeballs.
Beak and feet are done with the punch that has 3 flowers on it.
I also used the 2 way glue pen to glue him together.
You can find a tutorial video here. Heather tells you all the punches you need before she gets started on showing you how to make the penguin. So cute!
Hope you enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogger friends...

Glittered Candle Holders

These are so pretty and would be so easy to make. Instead of putting clip art behind the glass to do, stamp an image and put it behind the glass and follow the directions. These would make such a nice gift.

Directions for making this project and supplies are here. I have to get me some taller candle holders and some glue with a small tip on it and I am making these.
