As you can see I have not posted in a while! The last few months have been pretty busy. I have been crafting, but I have also had a lot of family drama going on and I just haven't had the time or the energy to blog about my crafty adventures. I was going to try and get caught up, but I was mainly doing my blog in the hopes of getting on a design team or two. I haven't been applying to them as I have not had the time and I don't think I will be applying any time soon. So I have decided that at least for now I am going to stop posting my crafty adventures - well at least here on the blog! I am thinking I might try beefing up my blog for my store instead. You can still check out my projects on my other social media pages and one day I might get back to it. Here are a few of my last projects just so you can see what I have been doing over the last few months!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VL828GxE8Xw/YYAfdLWHGkI/AAAAAAAASio/5vOST2wlQbIjYTB5u4Edy6ESqTAWTMZsQCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/Remember.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It was fun to get to use some of my newest Distress Sprays, both the oxides and the regular sprays. Cori-Lyn did hers as a coffe page, but since I don't drink coffee, I made mine a Coke Zero page instead. The sprays are so awesome!!

But I did get a few crafty goodies yesterday and so ended up down in my craft room for a bit. I put in a Stampin Up order so that I could fullfill this quarter's quota and I ended up getting a bunch of stuff for myself this time! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kCjw4QvFU14/YPs7E6JnPfI/AAAAAAAASUo/OfnTJEMPWqo9VA8qHL01EtsgABRdfEAQwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/SU%2BStuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1869" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kCjw4QvFU14/YPs7E6JnPfI/AAAAAAAASUo/OfnTJEMPWqo9VA8qHL01EtsgABRdfEAQwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/SU%2BStuff.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">When I went down to put everything away, I did end up doing a bit more work on my camper album.

I am still working on my camper album, but it is slow going. Adding the paper and then doing all the sanding of the edges is hard work! But I hope to finish it soon. I did get some crafty goodies in the mail yesterday so thought I would share those. I got a couple kits from the amazing gals at <a href="https://www.scrapaddicts.ca/" target="_blank">Scrap Addicts</a> - one is for a class coming up next week, and the other I just thought was super cool! Can't wait to play with it all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-erG3XdJXEtU/YPhKFbkRNlI/AAAAAAAASUg/VGn6fxWcFhEpblb-qA3Yjfwiwv2z8ebRwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/SA%2BGoodies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1781" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-erG3XdJXEtU/YPhKFbkRNlI/AAAAAAAASUg/VGn6fxWcFhEpblb-qA3Yjfwiwv2z8ebRwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/SA%2BGoodies.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I am gonna TRY to finish up the camper album tonight, and I have a birthday card or two to create for some friends, so should have more to share soon.

I ended up doing a couple more UFO projects. This time some layouts that I started with my grandkids back in October! I did some painting with them and got them to do handprints that I had planned on using in some layouts. Well I FINALLY got around to doing those layouts. And I think they came out pretty damn good if I do say so myself!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5bEXG2xD2Y/YPXLUFgl__I/AAAAAAAASTc/FcEujdk46Fc9O1h9mklU9nswH8hQJsD7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/gettin%2Binky%2Bwith%2Bit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="456" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5bEXG2xD2Y/YPXLUFgl__I/AAAAAAAASTc/FcEujdk46Fc9O1h9mklU9nswH8hQJsD7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/gettin%2Binky%2Bwith%2Bit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m1BAkM4FLaU/YPXLUJHYriI/AAAAAAAASTg/VvsuUn7UDD8QmM3t27Znl-8AB-jeQ8R5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/Paint%2BFun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m1BAkM4FLaU/YPXLUJHYriI/AAAAAAAASTg/VvsuUn7UDD8QmM3t27Znl-8AB-jeQ8R5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Paint%2BFun.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Then I worked on another swap project that I am bit late on.

I definately missed being at the stoe with them, but I did get some stuff done and got to chat with the gals! I started by doing the make n take layout from the last TM crop. I used the original one for one othe layouts for Taryn's grad album, but got another kit so that I could do one for myself as a camping theme. Really love this layout!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hBDZmYFhwWg/YPW_-n4hbcI/AAAAAAAASTE/ClViWDO7GRwEknwPaWjTjuB4Kx_BNZWAwCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/Camp%2BMore%2BWorry%2BLess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="912" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hBDZmYFhwWg/YPW_-n4hbcI/AAAAAAAASTE/ClViWDO7GRwEknwPaWjTjuB4Kx_BNZWAwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Camp%2BMore%2BWorry%2BLess.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">And I eve used the left over pieces and one of the small sayings from some of the custom paper to make a card to give to one of my swap partners!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lR5ClvC2y0/YPXIGLOxE5I/AAAAAAAASTU/1InRFMf3F2E61pxFSQR_VESf3Kvn-qOYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="858" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lR5ClvC2y0/YPXIGLOxE5I/AAAAAAAASTU/1InRFMf3F2E61pxFSQR_VESf3Kvn-qOYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Card.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Then I did a two page layout using the rest of the custom papers that I wanted to use from our goodie bag. Really love how this layout came out!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ttlhizNG7A/YPXAIHcOCmI/AAAAAAAASTI/-GTWIzI9WZU91_x6pRg6l7BP6OyzG4Z0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/Longard%2BGlamping%2BAdventures.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="478" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ttlhizNG7A/YPXAIHcOCmI/AAAAAAAASTI/-GTWIzI9WZU91_x6pRg6l7BP6OyzG4Z0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Longard%2BGlamping%2BAdventures.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Once I had this layout done, I decided that instead of findind uses for the rest of the custom paper we got in our kit that I would give it to my swap partner. I had fun virtually hanging out with the gals - just wish I could have been there in person. Now I am off to do some more projects with them. So till next time, stay crafty my peeps!</div>Buffylongardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06121201505438302055noreply@blogger.com0
