Paint Stick for Memas Crafts Year in Review Challenge

Hey good people,
Memas craft's is hosting a Year in Review challenge over on Scraps of Color and it's one of the easiest challenge's we will find in 2013.  You can also find the challenge at:  http://memascrafts.blogspot.com/; all you have to do is post up to two of your favorite creations from 2012...I can't resist such a low maintenance challenge...it might cause you a little stress if all of your creations are fantastic, but I don't have that problem...LOL! So I will post a paint stick I made for a swap done in April 2012 and I will post a second creation later (if I can find one).  TFL

RAK from Mary Joyce of My Afrocentric Creations

Hey good people,
I always appreciate the time and effort people put into thinking about me.  My fellow blogger Mary Joyce of My Afrocentric Creations (see my "blog inspirations for her link") sent me a wonderful RAK for Christmas...She created a mug in my favorite color pink with my image (TOTALLY COOL), sent two of my favorite treats: Dunkins Donuts coffee and Pecan Delight, along with a stamp.  TFL.

Happy Holiday Season

Hey good people,
It's still the Holiday Season and here is a card I created to mail to one of my friends.  I hope they like it.  It is created using the Recollections Holiday collection patterned paper and the Snowman Couple stamp is by Stampendous.  The snow was created using the snow border punch of Martha Stewart.  TFL.

Holiday Greetings

Hey good people,  I just want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season.  I am visiting my parents in Little Rock Arkansas and if you have been watching the weather, you know we are having one hell of a snow storm...YES!! A White Christmas for me...I am having the best time ever...we have had  no power for two days and still don't have any...I can't travel back to Kansas until the roads clear..awwwww! My dad has to work from home and my mom is off...due to the inclement weather...So they have been home with me...YEAH!!!  We are doing the happy dance...Since my parents get a kick out of having the  most up to date technology, I get to update my blog, surf the net and watch the portable TV (only a few channels, but HEY)...and the fire place is going for warmth.  We used the snow to keep some drinks and potatoe salad cold.  See pics below...Back to the card I have posted...yesssss, it's me.  My favorite digi artist Robert Jackson is the creator.  He will draw a digi stamp in your image at your request, just email him.  Anywhooo, have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy life; it is such a blessing!

Hey good people,

This is a card I made for the MOJO Monday Challenge #272.  Yes, I have used another Robert Jackson image.  The inside of the card reads: to Love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart and sing it to them when they have forgotten the words...The sentiment was a RAK from fellow blogger Mary Joyce of My Afrocentric Creations: http://afrocentriccreations.blogspot.com.  Check out her creations.  Also, I haven't posted it in a while, but I am giving away blog candy when I reach 50 followers.  Check it out at the following link:  http://kinkybella1.blogspot.com/2012/11/blog-candy-fabulous-you-stamp.html

Birthday Card

Hey Good people,
I made a Birthday card for a friend's mom who is turning 84 years old!  What a blessing...I am sure she has a lot of wisdom to share.  The image used is a design by Robert Jackson; you can check his work out at
http://www.fineartsbyrobertjackson.com/
Thanks for looking,...

Hey good people, I must first say I am not good at taking pics of my creations.  But anywho, I was inspired to try my hand at a clear ornament while I was playing along in the ODBD Christmas Blog hop this morning. This is my first attempt and like everyone else, I learned and thought of other ways to make it better.  I did enjoy making it and will do more.  The top pic is the back of the ormnament; I painted it red and covered it with gold glitter. The bottom is of course the front and I use a rubbernecker image, colored it, applied adhesive and placed it inside the bulb.  Then I added some poinsettas (too big in my opinion, but that's what I had).  TFL.

Holiday Card Drive for Deployed military members

Hey good people,

I know I've absent for a little while, but I am back with a worthwhile request.

The McConnell Air Force Base Library is hosting it's annual "Holiday Card for the Troops" drive from 14 Oct-14 Nov 2012. Last year, they raised 8,750 cards and the goal for this year is 10,000. The cards are mailed to Airmen and Soldiers in various deployment locations. Each year they invite several community organizations to participate; therefore, I am inviting you.

Requirements for cards:

- 5 cards, due by 12 Nov, so that I can turn them in by 14 Nov

- Only homemade cards accepted and must not be any larger than 5 x 7 inches

- Include the following information with each card:

§  Organization name (your information..i.e. Scraps of Color)

§  Your name

§  Mailing address and/or email address (many of the soldier’s like to write or email the person they get a card from)

I suggest using an Avery label for the info and adhere it to the back of each card.

***THIS IS NOT A SWAP...If interested please email me and I will send you my address.

I appreciate your support! 

Much love, Kinkybella
