Hello my crafty friends,,,,
Today I have to share with you a project I created/designed for the Woodland blog hop. It is a manly project as there are not a lot of manly projects. I hope you a;ll enjoy this..

This is another mini album I designed for the avid camper, hunter or plain old all around outdoors men in your life. I love designing mini albums, I used so many pop dots and layers on this mini I lost count,  lol. This project was designed real old school, cricut camp out cartridge and the old time software cricut design studio, from about 10 years ago, its a great program and has great features.  I hope you all like it. If anyone would like the file just email me.
 If you started at my blog, please start at the beginning, Connie's link is right below this. Hope you enjoyed hopping along. Have a crafty weekend
Ronnie

Hello my Crafty Friends, I am so happy you all have decided to join us on the Santa Baby Blog Hop, great prizes, beautiful projects, and a ton of ideas for you to try. I am called by my friends a mini album addict, lol, yes I admit that is true, I do make quite a few of these, so today I am going to share with you another mini I designed and cut on my beloved Cameo and MTC software. These are quick, easy and the possibilities are limitless.
It is a mini ornament album.

SO this a view of the front cover, 

pages 1 and 2

pages 3 and 4

Pages 5 and 6

page 7

back cover....With my file you may add as many or as few pages as you like. You may also add pockets and tags, the possibilities for you make this a truly one of a kind work of art is at your fingertips,
The ornament was designed by myself in my Cameo program and cut from chipboard. The papers used come from K&Company, and some stock paper from no other than Hobby Lobby... The flourishes and design elements are also cut on Cameo, the photo mats were cut from card stock using my Spellbinders and Sizzix.. Inks are from none other than Tim Holtz, a few gold gel pens to decorate the elements and give it holiday sparkle. After that all you need is a binder ring to bind and add ribbons and charms to the ring and ribbons, or whatever you would like to add. If you would like any of the files from this project or any others from my blog you can find me by emailing or the Santa baby facebook group. I am the blog for you to visit, so if you started here click on Connie and you will be at the beginning of the hop.

Happy Spring my crafty friends....It has been awhile since my last post, where does the time go? I have had some home and health issues I have been dealing with in the previous months, but all is finding harmony again, I am on the mend and ready once again to take on the world. I have so missed my craft room and sticky, inky messy piles of fun.  So as a first post in sometime I have decided to let you know what I have been up to in last week or so. With my brand new Cameo, my mojo is slowly returning, and my new shipment of shiny beads I am ready to get this show on the road.

I have started once again playing in my art journals, I have really missed my art journals. So here are 2 pages I completed.  It was so amazing to play with all the inks and mediums once again. To me an Art journal is a place to record your thoughts, emotions and feelings as they are happening. It is great therapy to be able to put to paper the good, the bad and the ugly. Today I was having one of those moments and awaiting my creative spark to return, as I was putting the color down it hit me.  None of us or very few go through life with everything roses every day all day, we have to grab a hold of that moment and live it the best we can in that second. I decided to not feel bad for myself and went looking for my MOJO! This is what I found...
SO Carpe Diem to you....Seize the day

Back from Chicago!!

I have to say, I was a bit worried about going to Chicago, its a big place full of people and traffic, and things this old country girl just does not experience. I am a true country girl, always have been always will be, I love the smell of the fresh cut hay, the barnyard sounds and smell, and I love to look at all of Mother Nature's beautiful lakes, streams, mountain ranges, valleys full of wild flowers, and the smell of horses and leather, nuts? perhaps, but it's how I have lived my entire 50+ years it is what i love. Saddle up my best girl and go out riding, or load up and head to the nearest rodeo. The rodeo life is long, tiring, hard work and at the same time very rewarding. Just you and your horse making memories and having fun.
I have been to Milwaukee, new Orleans, baton rouge, phoenix, tucson, Indiannapolis, St Paul Mn, and a few other larger cities, but I have to say, CHICAGO you are spectacular!!
My son's booked a penthouse suite for 3 day, along with Garth brooks tickets, that alone was an incredible gesture, when the 3 of us opened the door to a penthouse(54 floors up) it literally took our breath away! I have never seen such an amazing view from way up on top. It was sensational! although I am a country girl, I was blown away by the miles of buildings and sky-scrappers, each one more beautiful than the next. I was so excited for evening to come and see the city at night. I definitely have a new appreciation for big city living. I would never give up my country life, but I can honestly say I would love to spend more time in Chicago. I took 664 photos in 3 days. At times I would just sit on the corners and watch that world move, and it moved in every direction at high speed, no lazy day afternoons sipping tea on the porch, it is a constant movement. The city is so rich in cultural arts, and theater, and my goodness so so many things to do. We did not have time to do or see everything, we did our best thou. A wide variety of food and entertainment, and people. I met more people from other countries than I did from the U.S....It seems even other countries are taken with Chicago's diversity and opportunity. After 2 days of eating and sight seeing, we were ready to watch Garth brooks in concert, see back in 1991, on his first tour he came to Milwaukee and I took my boys, they were then 7 and 15. Well this time around they took me, and did it in style, complete with limo ride to and from concert. It was an amazing concert, just as good as if not better than his first tour. He is an amazingly talented humble man, we loved every second. Thank you to my wonderful Son's for a week I will never ever forget! You are amazing young men and I am proud of you everyday of my life, and honored to call you mine! Thank you for a unforgettable vacation. With every beat of my heart I love you more!
