I don't have a favorite. It depends on what look I want. I have Copics, watercolor pencils, Prismas and some odds and ends I have picked up at garage sales. I just like to color!
Random Hauls + GIVEAWAY!
Hello everyone! I got a wicked sunburn yesterday when I was out and about with the kids (totally my own fault for forgetting to put on sunscreen and staying out in the blazing sun for too long) and am trying to take it easy today (it really is that bad - so not happy with myself). I finally got ...
Greetings from Flushing, Michigan. Just got home from dinner with 3 grandkids tossing mac cheese about. I need a vacation! I am interested in that sparkly paper. Some papers like that have a funky smell. I hope these dont.
MFT Snowflake Sparkle Card Kit GIVEAWAY!!
This card kit sold out SO insanely fast - but I acted fast and ordered one to give away to one of you! This contest is only open to US or Canadian residents (I mention in the video that I'll be giving away a couple of stamp sets and die set on my Instagram - that one will be open to everyone...
I would just love to have a cup of coffee! It always smells so good when hub has it but I had to give it up.
AmyR Coffee Card Series #6 + YouTube 40K GIVEAWAY!!
Hey everyone! So I've been well aware that I passed 40 thousand subscribers on my YouTube channel recently (crazy isn't it?) and felt the need to mark this milestone - so stay tuned to the end of this post for a giveaway! I have had the Lawn Fawn Love You a Latte stamp set sitting on my desk for...
Only on some cards do I use plain dies. I love that the dies come matched to the stamp images now. Messed up the thumb joint in my right hand last summer cutting down some small trees and jeez, fussy cutting stuff now is a pain!
MFT Haul #3 + Giveaway!
Happy Monday! I thought it'd be a great way to start the week (even if this is being posted late in the afternoon my time - it took me a long while to accomplish anything today it seems.....Mondays.....) as so many of y'all enjoy my haul videos and who doesn't like giveaways?? ;) ;) To watch...
I have the really really old Xyron. I hate it because it's so clunky. And old. This one is cute and looks kid friendly, too.
Xyron Creative Station Giveaway!
Happy Friday SCT friends! We hope the first week of July has held all sorts of summertime fun for you! Around the SCT office some of us are getting ready to head off to the Sierra Pacific trade show in Utah next week! You know what we're going to see right? All the amazing new products set to hi...
Halloween cards-if I could send them out for Christmas and Easter, I would.
10 Years of Blogging Anniversary & Giveaway!
I still find it hard to believe I started this blog 10 years ago! To celebrate I filmed this quick video: Sorry it's out of focus :P - I didn't have time to try and get it focused and re-film everything so since it's such a quick video I thought I'd just post it and get on with the giveawa...
I haven't really made interactive cards much unless you count the ones that just plane open and close!
MFT Flop Card Circle DN + Jungle Friends + GIVEAWAY!
Hello everyone! I've got a card, a video and a GIVEAWAY for this post so make sure to read the whole thing! I used the new MFT Jungle Friends Die-namics again to create this card along with the new Flop Card Circle Die-namics and Stitched Valley Die-namics. Then because that wasn't enough new ...
I love making scenes for dioramas with my grand son. I just got a barn animal set of stamps to do that. This would make it so easy to make the images last longer with chipboard or similar.
The Greeting Farm Pony Magnets | Copics | Xyron Creative Station Lite | GIVEAWAY!!
Hello everyone!! I am SOOOOO excited to share this post with y'all. Recently Xyron reached out to me and wanted to know if I'd be interested in trying out their new Creative Station Lite machine - and of course I said yes. I've had my little Xyron X sticker maker for years, and showed it in a re...
I love sending snarky cards to my friends. The funniest was a House Mouse getting drunk in a bathtub that I used for a birthday card. I do have to be careful who I send them to, however. People get old and crabby these days!
SSS Haul #33 + Stamp Set I Designed for SSS Giveaway!
Hello everyone! I've got a haul AND a giveaway to share with y'all today: To watch directly on YouTube click HERE <-----click! So in the video I explain the story behind this It's Your Birthday stamp set: It totally made my day to come across something I designed on the SSS site and it was ...
Amy, have you thought about saving your Periscope videos to https://katch.me/ ? I was just watching some other Periscope videos there since I can't watch on my phone with limited data plan. I have to share data with hubby and many places don't have free wifi here. Maybe check it out?
Art Impressions Bunny & Ducky Mini Cards| Clean Color Markers | AmyR Spring & Easter Card Series #9
I feel like I'm racing against time here! With Easter being so early I haven't had the chance to make nearly as many cards as I'd hoped - but I'm still making them and sharing them with y'all regardless. The nice thing about having this blog and YouTube is that the inspiration can always be save...
Sometimes-I am trying to find a way to make Halloween style cards for all the holidays. Nothing mushy here!
Simon Says Stamp Haul #21 Video + Giveaway
Hello everyone! It's only Tuesday but it feels like a long week already - my 2 littles aren't feeling well (neither am I for that matter) and it's been a crazy couple of days. On a happier note I have yet another haul video to share with you guys. Let's just say December was a crazy shop till yo...
I love coffee BUT on doctors orders, can no longer drink it. I drink lots of tea. And water. No soda. But when hub makes some or orders in a diner, I stick my face in his cup and breathe in!
Simon Says Stamp Haul #20 + A Giveaway!
Happy Monday everyone! It's always easier for me to say that after I've downed my (possibly first) cup of coffee in the morning and I'm in a better mood LOL! Anywho - I have yet another SSS haul to share with y'all - November/December was a tad bit crazy with online ordering - between some awes...
My goals-I just changed gyms so now it's only two miles instead of 9 which was better than the 17 before that one. I have no excuse now. I can walk up the highway to it.
I need to hire someone to put new cabinets in my kitchen. I don't like strange people in my house, so this is gonna be hard. I need to learn how to drive a tractor, too. Otherwise, I am mowing with a hand pusher mower. Yikes!
But mostly, I have to get hub healthy. He has surgery in two weeks and hopefully won't need chemo, but if he does, we-he and I-can handle it. Because I don't want to mow a lawn of a house I am in by myself. Wish us luck.
2016 Goals!?
It's me again! I was taking a little bit of time to straighten up my desk and almost knocked over my pile of colouring books. If anything 2015 was the year of adult colouring books - they're EVERYWHERE. I held out for the longest time b/c I honestly felt that (for me) they were rather pointles...
*****Do you have a name for the earth globe die on that one card? I tried to search on MFT, but nothing pops up. I must have it! *******
AMY!! Have a better than ever 2016. We are going thru a trial by fire in our family this late 2015, so I know the emotions and insanity that is showing itself. Love and positive thoughts to your beautiful family. I always come away with a smile when I see you all on the blog.
Happy Mail Haul! December 2015 Video
I am having a hard time believing 2015 is almost over! This year has been crazy (for me - to put it mildly LOL), and yet here it is and we've got just over a day left before 2016 hits. Anywho - I got SO many fabulous cards and a couple of gifts in my post office box this month. It's been so fun...
