October Monthly Kits...

This will be the last Monthly Card Kit.

I'll still be doing card kit's and video's they just won't be a monthly thing.

I'll just do them when I want.

I have a huge too be colored pile.

Not having a Monthly Card Kit will take the pressure off of me to have them done by a certain day.

Which has become a hard thing right now.

I'm hoping thing's will settle down at my house once summer is over.

Who know's I may bring it back later.

But for now this seems like the easiest solution.

On to the kits....

This month I have used a couple of new cuties from

CC Designs.

A new designer for them

Roberto's Rascals.

They where so adorable I couldn't resist.

First is the Water Coloring Card Kit

Broom Ride

I love the look on the cats face.

It says - hey I deserve to be driven around, so drive me.

The girl reminds me of Natalie's cute chubby face right now.

Maybe she will be a witch this Halloween.

I used the CC Designs Witch-Ful Thinking Sentiment Set.

It is not included in the kit.

The little sentiment piece is blank, so you can add your own sentiment.

I added some Stickles Star Dust to her outfit and the cats wings.

For the pupils of her eyes I used my Sharpie White Paint Pen.

Next is the Copic Coloring Card Kit

All Wrapped Up

I had fun coloring the toilet paper

and isn't he totally cute!

Again I used the CC Designs Witch-ful Thinking Sentiment Set.

But left the kits blank so you can added your own sentiment.

It's a great set.

You can't go wrong picking it up for all your Halloween card or project needs.

I have actually colored him in Black & White too.

A first for me.

I'll share that image with you on Monday.

Both kits come with a package of Kaiser rhinestones to decorate your cards with.

If all goes well I'll be working on both video's this weekend 

and getting them emailed to purchaser's so keep a look out.

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Have a wonderful day.

Shroom...

I forgot to come here and post the next card in the card series.

This is card #2 Shroom.

He's a CC Designs Stamp by Amy Young.

The beautiful paper is Bo Bunny - Camp-A-Lot.
This kit comes with both Shroom and the Mushroom Set.
You have to buy the Be Happy Sentiment Set separate.

Thanks for watching.

Have a wonderful day!

Pine...

I decide to do a start to finish series of video tutorial on these cute little

CC Designs Sweet November Stamps by Amy Young.

First up we have...

PINE.

Isn't he adorable!
The paper is Bo Bunny Camp-A-Lot.
I thought is went great with the whole set of images.

Next we up we have a give away by Krista Smith...

You know I love all her wonderful stamps and digi's..

This is from Krista's Blog

"This year, one of my personal goals is to give.  Give.

It is a lot harder than the little word lets on...Things come up and get in the way...

And life is busy...

And then I look back and a year is gone.  Gone, and I haven't really given anything.  

Sure, I always have big plans.  I say a lot of prayers, hoping God gives me the opportunities to give to others.  Meanwhile, I'm just wasting time.  Time moves fast...And there is no better time than now.

Seek opportunities, friends.  

They are everywhere.  

You all have given much to me this year-- new friendships.  A great home business that I truly love.  The encouragement to push through the days when I feel like a failure.  And daily-- your sweet messages and kind words-- they are uplifting and remind me that people are beautiful and loving and gracious.

So, I'd love to join together and give to a great cause.  

Next week, I will have two digis available.  They will be free downloads.  There will be a donate link where you can, instead of purchasing the digis for $4.00 each, give what you can to St Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  I will collect the money for one month, and at the end, donate the entire amount collected from these two digis to the hospital.  I am also in the process of being approved for an event at the hospital...so there may be an opportunity in the near future to send me Christmas cards to bring to the children and families this coming holiday season.  

If you are not familiar with the hospital, please click the link.  

If you'd like to help spread the word about the digi release, please place this button on your sidebars.  I will have the stamps available next week.  *Link to Krista's post HERE, please.*"

Hope your all having a fabulous day!

Seashell Sarah...

Since I shared the Copic Monthly Card Kit yesterday I thought I better share the water coloring kit too.

This is Seashell Sarah.

Isn't she a doll!

I have again used Echo Park - Hello Summer paper.

I love the bright fun colors.

With this kit you'll get a Pink Wink of Stella Glitter pen if you order while it's on pre-order.

You can use it to color the bikini!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day.

Butterfly Lucy...

Sorry I haven't been by. 

I took the store to a crop and it takes me a bit to get everything together.

And back together.

But it's finally all back in place and I feel crafty again.

Look NO pattern paper.

I love the cute look of this card.

Butterfly Lucy

I used a few dies: Leafy Branch, Flower Border, Grass Border & Picket Fence.

The grass border is perfect for the flower border.

You have to watch when pulling the flower border out of the die. Those stems are small.

I'm off to see if I can get some more done.

Thanks for stopping by and for the wonderful comments.

I really love them all!

Have a great day!

Party Lucy...

I love the My Mind's Eye paper I used on the June Water Coloring Card Kit.

It features CC Design stamps: Party Lucy & Magical Wishes Sentiments.

The beautiful paper is Miss Caroline.

I used the new My Favorite Things Die-Namic: Mini Doily Circles for the sentiment.

It's perfect.

I have both Monthly Kit video's loaded on the 

Heather's Hobbie Haven YouTube Channel 

if you would like to go watch them.

Leave a comment if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful day!

Cute Birgitta & Spring Bench...

I LOVE the soft colors on the new June Copic Coloring Card Kit.

It features Cute Birgitta & Spring Bench.

The beautiful paper is My Mind's Eye - Follow Your Heart - Be Amazing.

It's the boy colors, but doesn't it look Fab!

The cute fence is the new Whimsy Stamps Picket Fence Die.

I already have to order some more for the store cause they ran out.

But I'll get them back in!

It's super cute.

I'm still procrastinating on the tutorial, but it will be up soon.

Head over to the store and pick up your kit and color along.

Thanks for looking!

Have a great day.

Bunny Lucy....

With Easter on the way I thought I had better get to this 

cute Bunny Lucy stamp 

made into a card kit.

She is from the latest CC Designs release.

I also found the cute sentiment in the to do box.

Thought it went perfectly with Bunny Lucy.

This was just a quick and easy card.

ShinHan Markers.....

Have any of you tried the ShinHan Markers? This is my first time coloring with them. They are great! A wonderful alternative to Copic's if your just starting your collection or if you already have Copic's a great add on. The price isn't outlandish at $4.30 each. I need to learn my color combo's and how to stay in the lines better. But not to bad for a first try. Practice makes perfect!

The cute image is a new CC Designs image Brigitta Blowing Hearts I'm currently making into a kit for the store. I just need to cut out all the parts. I spent today loading s bunch of new TwinklingH2O's into the store. I can't wait to share some projects with those.

How about a guessing game:
I ordered  25 Magnolia stamps and 15 DooHickey Dies for Heather's Hobbie Haven. They arrived in a small box (7x 10 x 3) weighting around a pound. How much do you think UPS shipping was?

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your having a great week!

Having Fun...

Hey everyone. We have some snow this morning. Glad I didn't have to go to work. I hate driving in that stuff. We don't have it very often and everyone drives like crazy people. I'm enjoying some free time. I spent half of yesterday cleaning up my craft area. It was a mess. I couldn't even see the counter. The other half coloring. I'm working on next months classes. I don't seem to be getting very far. I would get something colored and decide that's not really what I want to do. So I only have one finished. I have to get those done today..

Here is a cute C.C. Designs image from All That Scraps. Her name is Sweetheart Birgitta. Isn't she adorable. She was in the January release. Super cute! I made a couple of these up for my friends Joni (Hi Joni) and Sue (Hi Sue). I ran out of gift bags at my last class and they were kind enough to go with out. So of course I wanted them to get a cute card with there gift bag after I made them up. I have used a couple of MFT dies: Flower Trio & Leaf Trio and the edge die that they seem to be out of at the moment. So I can't look up the name. It also has a matching circle die. Also out.... I love all the different dies available now. So many to choose from..

 Thanks for stopping by. Hope you all have a fabulous day..
