   Been watching you for a little while and I just love your stuff!!! Very creative!! Really appreciate a chance for this paper pack as I just love what you did with it!!! I finally finished organizing my paper so now I can concentrate on making cards for Operation Write Home. My goal is to get my first box of cards sent no later than Halloween. Barb F

   Love your nail art!!
   I have just pulled apart some packaging to get at the corrugated layer. I have several cards to make for the men in my family, and planned on using the corrugated card for a more masculine look!
   Thanks for the tip on adding a little colour!

   Hi Christine, I’m currently making Oct. birthday cards with fun stamps from Hero Arts that are Vintage Hot Air Balloons or Airships. Good for masculine cards. I’m thinking and playing with various designs for my Christmas cards too. Thanks for an opportunity to win the Fancy Pants prize.

   Lately I’ve been just making whatever I feel like making – usually just general cards, but I really have to get my butt in gear to get my Christmas Cards made – December will be here before we know it!

   It is only September but I am already busy working on my Christmas Cards. In this day and time when we seem not to write letters because we text or email, I love sending Christmas cards and adding my special message to each.
   I send out about 75 to 90 cards each years and am told by many that they save my cards and display them every year. This makes me happy to know that my friends and family love getting my cards as much as I love making them. I love the Fancy Pants paper. Would love to use them on some vintage pages. Thank you for a chance to win them. By the way, you look great!!!

   I am working on Halloween cards while putting off working on an album of a trip to Italy. I actually have been cleaning and organizing my craft room to make room for more supplies!

   I love this line! I love the subtle colors and the corrugated paper! Thanks for the opportunity to win the collection!

   Hi Christine, love the Country Boutique collection. I’m really drawn to textures such as wood and peeled paint. Right now I’m working on a flower collage for a Melody Ross class. You’ve given me inspiration!!!
   Thanks, Christine.

   I’m currently working on BD and anniversary cards–our anniversary is in September, along with very good friends, but in October it’s the BD and anniversary megathon–I have 10 cards to make! I love making Fall decorations as well, but have quite a few from previous years. I’m also working on ideas for this year’s Christmas card–and finishing up my yearly calender.

    Don’t have many crafty plans as of yet…other than entering every type of contest I can! When out of work and money is tight, there has to be SOME way of obtaining a few craft supplies…and these papers are so pretty!! Thanks much and my fingers are crossed!

    Hi

    I have a number of projects about to get underway

    1 – Making thank you cards for 80+ people involved in my current theatre project
    2 – Making handmade chocolates for them all!
    3 – And for me, I am getting the cross stitch bug again!

    No idea when I will find the time!

    Hi! I’m presently doing Shimelle Laine’s “Learn Something New Every Day” in September course. Phew! I’m finding it difficult to keep up at the moment. Once that’s completed, I’ve got a holiday album to do, and finish off my 2012 art journal for the rest of the year – lot’s to add coming up, as well as Halloween and Christmas, there’s my birthday, lots of friends birthdays, a Star Trek convention (!) plus I’m having an operation at the start of November, I’ll even scrap that!

    Nice prize package! Thanks to Fancy Pants.

    I’ve been busy working on projects. It’s back to school for kids so I’m putting myself back into my projects. The multi-medium products are all over the work space (and my hands). This paper pack lends itself nicely to these products. Hope I win!

    PS ~ We have the SAME cat! Uncanny! Weird! And miles and miles apart. Mine is a bit older but I can’t believe how close the markings are.

    I’ve just finished a few of my late summer projects, like a She Art canvas for a friend and some small journals for my workers. So just yesterday, I bought my first items for Christmas!!! I got a set of 30 4X6 Jute bags that I will stamp and then fill with gift cards and candies! I have also scoped out some lighted pumpkins to set up my harvest decor on my front porch for the Fall! Yahoo! Let the holiday season begin!!!

    love your new fancy schmancy nails
    your new tortie is adorable and that is a great scrapbook page
    so simple and elegant

    i love the colors and variety of that country boutique collection

    i swap art and craft items on two sites, atcsforall and illustratedatcs
    currently i am working on:
    art dolls, day of the dead prayer flags, animal atcs with fabric and chunky atcs
    just finished some cat moos last night (my first at moos, dont like them much)

    i hope the lady that is out of work wins so that she has some fun stuff to craft with
    art and crafting keeps me sane (well mostly sane)
    i feel lucky to have a job in this economy, although it totally cuts into my crafting time

    OOOOHHHH! Really nice new paper… I think paper is my addiction!?

    I am currently on a hiatus from crafting… not for need, but because we were vacation, now back and have tons of other stuff to do and now we have a brand new kitten…. I did hit up Michaels yesterday and am excited to make my Hallowe’en wreath(it’s really a grapevine broom). I also need to start Christmas cards soon! I am dying to get back to my crafts!

    Winning that wonderful paper would be great for all the card ideas in my head!

    Thanks Christine!

We lost Mom this year so I’m gathering all of her childhood pictures, family pictures (she had seven kids), and lots of memories of their 56 years together. I have a lot to do but it has been wonderful looking through all the pictures and memories which is why we all enjoy this great hobby. Thanks!

    You wanted to know what we are doing for a fall projects well I personally am moving so I had to pack up my scrap room. However I am planning for 2013 a day in the life project about myself to leave for my grandchildren who live in Hamilton and I am in BC so I don’t get to see them at all so I thought I would tell them about myself through the day in the life project!! However until I move I have left out my crochet and am making a bedspread until I get my scrap room back then I have a lot of catching up to do!
