Stamp Carving ~ I did nine!!

Hi, there!
I wanted to share the stamps I carved over the
Christmas break (before I took a hard fall) ugh!!
I had a blast carving for two days, just me and
my Speedball!

I love to carve flowers, nature elements that I can use to create
tags or cards with.  The simplest design can be stamped
so many different ways just by turning the stamp.  I'll be posting
some projects that were created using some of these homemade
stamps soon. 
 
Thanks for stopping by!!

Try It Tuesday: the TABLE~ hubbys project!

 Hi guys!! Have I got a treat for you today.

My hubby is a pretty talented guy. He loves working with wood and loves

 the challenge of creating something beautiful out of something 

that most would consider trash.  Wish I had his vision~

I was not home to take earlier photos of him gluing the wood and putting the pieces

 of wood in the clamps.  This is how far he had gotten

 when I got back home (four days later). 

 It is made out of Oak and Dogwood material.  The picture on the right is what the

 wood looked like when he started the project.  Just planks of rough wood.

His vision was a butcher block table.  I think he captured that :) 

It ended up residing in my craft room as my scrapbook table.  

It is so much bigger than the table I was using.  I love it and I love him for suggesting it

 would be awesome in my craft room.  Really, he is awesome :)

Thanks for letting me share this and BRAG on my hubby!

See ya soon~
