Orders keep on coming in!

Hi folks!

I was a little sad telling people how I spent my summer indoors with both my basement reno and creating my etsy website. You know, you get back to school and everyone has amazing stories to tell and you say, my summer was relaxing but I didn't do anything.... Well even though I didn't "do much" I still accomplished a lot that I would t have been able to do otherwise. Today it's starting to pay off! I've had two orders off of etsy within a couple days of eachother!!! Soo exciting!!! 

Here is one of the special orders that I've come up with.

So next time someone asks me how I spent my summer, I won't be embarrassed and say absolutely nothing, I'll say I started my online business!!

Wahoo!!!

Tim Holtz distress inks and stains

This morning I was playing around with a bunch of the new inks, stains and paints that I purchased off of eBay.  I thought I would have been so overwhelmed with all these new techniques that I have been trying but its been ok.  The only overwhelming aspect is the big fat mess that my craft room is in because of my ADD nature. I always start one thing and get distracted and do something else.  After having just realized all the time that I have missed from not having tried Cricut Craft Room to using new CTMH stamps to now the Tim Holtz materials I can't seem to do one thing!

Anyway, the cards below were done with the stains and some stamps I had laying around. I backed them on white card stock and antiqued the edges with fired brick ink (Tim Holtz ink pad). I kinda like them better than the other Canadian cards but there are great parts with both.
