Re-Organization to accomodate an old spice rack

Hello Fellow Crafters!!!! I spent the past week re-doing my scraproom...all of this happened because I took an old spice rack an recycled it to hold my brads & eyelets...and that meant I would have to re-organize a wall cause I wanted to display my recycled spice rack, so I bought a new cabinet to sit some other items on anyway during this process I also found a huge bag with ribbon and decided to make some ribbon bobbins & that way when I need to attend a crop I can toss them into a baggie & off I go...I am also going to display the cabinet so if you need to get one of these they are at Lowes for $15.99 and they come in black, white, tan...hope this inspires you to get organized as well.oh and I also found that on the last photo that because my Exp2 is shorter than my Reg-Exp the cover I made last year for the regular expression (which died ot 4 mos ago) fits my new Exp2 I thought that was great!!!!.....until next time...Keep Your Mind Creating.

YOU MAKE ME LAUGH

Hello Fellow crafter's...welcome to Touch Of Tewshay Tews-day!!! I was trying to post this earlier today but my day was consumed with handling cable issues. Anywho...here is my creation for the day...YOU MAKE ME LAUGH...I'm in the process of building my collection for having some cards pre-made to give out at a moment's notice. I have a catagory that allows cards of this type to be filed under... HELLO...under this title you can file cards that are simple acknowledgement type of cards or recognition type of cards. I know we do a lot of communicating via email & texting...but I still love to receive cards in the mail and these types of cards are most memorable to receive because they are sent just because you thought of that person that day....I hope this brings inspiration to you...I took a basic card and made 3-dimensional hearts by adding pop-ups , a few flat sided green pearls....I thought the colors and pattern selection should be all out of line...I chose big dots, sml dots plaid ribbon..again leave me a comment so that i'll know you stopped by...and become a follower if you have not so far.....til next time,  KEEP YOUR MIND CREATING

TJ MAXX HAUL

Hello fellow-crafters!!! I really need to share this fantastic Haul I did from of all places TJ MAXX.....that's right...can you believe that TJ MAXX carried Martha Stewart's punches??? I was surfing the net last night and ran across someone who said she she found MS punches at TJ MAXX for $3.99.....I was so scared that I would not be able to take care of this great find that I woke up early to scout out the stores near me to see if they had this going on it never dawned on me that this person on the net might live in another state...the first location I went to did not have any...however I spotted a shopper leaving the store and yes she had some in her shopping bag and I thought just maybe there might be more left on the shelf...but no there wasn't any left.....so I asked the cashier for the next TJ MAXX in the area and they gave me the info so I was now bound and determined to succeed....when I approached the 2nd store it was like my body had GPS (lol) I went tot the first aisle I thought where they might be and BINGO...found them they only had 6 left and I double checked to see if the ones there on the shelf were not punches I already owned and I came up with 3...trust me folks you are looking at a great discount these punches are valued at $75....I paid $14 that is a great bargain....so let it be known that you never know where you will retrieve valuable information...and aren't we all lookin for bargains..so if you have not gone to TJ MAXX now would be the time to check them out..I picked up a "Deep edge puinch, a Punch around the page with a straight edge & corner punch combo, and finally a Punch all over the page punch!

"YOU MAKE ME SMILE"

Hello everyone and welcome to my site on "Touch of Tewshay" on Tews-day!!
today was a easy going type of day....on my way to run some errands traffic had me backed up on the freeway...but for some reason I was in no hurry...because it gave me time to reflect over my life and how folks are always in a hurry...today I was in no hurry...I thought about how blessed I am being able to enjoy my ride to where I was going..with the sun roof open...jazz blowing, the sun shinning down on me in my Lexus chillin-out  certain thoughts running through my mind made me smile so when I returned home I sat at my scrapbook table and the creation of this card came together......I hope this card inspires you to take time to smile like they say "laughter" is the best medicine and guess what it starts with a smile....and its FREE!
If this is your first visit to Touch of Tewshay please leave me a comment and become a follower  that is the only way I would know who stopped to visit, I always welcome followers and I do read the comments...I am showing the front of my card and the inside...until next time Keep Your Mind Creating!!!

HANG IN THERE

Good Sunday afternoon!!!! Hope you are having a relaxing day of creating like I am.....I was in the mood to do a type of card that I know we all can relate to...this card says "HANG IN THERE" you never know just who receiving this card would smile cuz they know you've got their interest at heart and sometimes people just want to hear you encouraging them by saying don't give in or give up...how cool is this....so yes I will be making at least 24 of these (lol)..ok here is the recipe for this card..take 8 1/2 x 11" cut to 4 x 4 ( should give you 2 cards) , layer w/3 3/4" square for 1st layer, stripe at bottom 1 1/2 x 3", and you can place another strip measured the same above the first one,  trim with ribbon, I used a stamp for the sentiment, I used Couintry Life cart cut out at 2", white gel for decorative trim...until next time KEEP YOUR MIND CREATING

Sympathy Card

Hello fellow crafters! Hope you've been keeping cool and hydrated.....it's been really warm here in Los Angeles, Ca....but I'm sure the weather else where is not as low in temperature as it is here....my husband's cousin from Kansas, Mo. said the temperature was 107...not to mention humidity...WOW...glad I live here in southern Cal. anywho, today I wanted to finally get my handmade cards organized and placed them in a couple of palstic boxes so I spent the morning making dividers and labeled them and alphabetized them...starting with Anniversary, Birthday, Congrats, etc. when I got to Sympathy I realized that I never have enough of them pre-made soo I sat down and started creating and this is what I came up with. I took 8 1/2x 11" card and cut it in half to measure 8 /12 x 4 (4 1/4 x 4" )once folded this way you would easily get (2) cards from 1 sheet. I sifted through my stash of printed 12x12 to do some trim...and used my stampin-up scallop edge punch, used MS butterfly punch, added some ribbion, a flower pre-cut embellishment, some flat pearls added the finish touch.....the banner says "With Sympathy" and the inside  says "You are in our thoughts and prayers...guess I will be doing at least 20 sympathy cards...this came together so easy- peasy hope what I've accomplished today will inspire you to become just as creative and organized...until next time KEEP YOUR MIND CREATING"
