Lynda's Den

It was really nice last month, I started to get things done that were due...things like birthday's!  I even shared with you the fun birthday cards I made for each of the 4 grandkids, with their darling pictures that is!  Being out of state makes it so we are not able to spend the time with them that we would like to, so the next best thing - is something handmade by this Nana!!!   So, today is the day to go over the events in the next few months, and start to get to work on anything you need to create!  Do you have any birthdays, events you need cards for, gifts to make, or anything else going on in your own life that you need to create things for?  If so, start to make that list!   For me:   A few birthday's coming up, at least birthday cards in the mail if anything!   Christmas presents for family that needs to be finished up and ready to mail out.   Christmas cards for people - some to mail, some for friends here. Things made f...

Well, I got my Stampin' Up kit the other day, and have had so much fun looking at the new catalog, getting my web site up, and reading a lot of new demonstrator information to help me begin this new endeavor!!!  I am excited to say the least, and can't wait to start sharing with you some of the fun things I have planned to create both with Stampin' Up products and without!  And with my Creative Paperclay design team project, you will see a whole page on the blog with nothing but beginner tips for you to start using the Creative Paperclay product on your scrapbook pages and paper craft projects!!!   Since I am working on a few things myself - I thought I would give you a couple of challenges to get you kick started into the holiday season!   Now, if you don't celebrate holiday's, there will be GREAT challenges just for you, so don't stop reading quite yet!  For you holiday buff's - here's a few challenges just for you: Start to design your holiday...

I have been stamping -  or making my own cards if you would, for 24 years almost, in fact my first project - was my almost 24 year old daughters' birth announcements!  From that point until now, I have been stamping cards, making scrapbooks, or paper crafting some sort of project or another!  I have watched things evolve in this craft from one extreme to another, and watched my own talents evolve more and more from this craft!  I create both paper and digital things - and love both for different reasons!       When I first started my business, my dreams for Memories in Tyme were so huge...  Over the past little while, they have become much more clearer than they have before, and I am excited to share it all with you!!!  Though we all know - as some things get a bit more clearer, other things fade away or change totally!  That is what has happened for me and Memories in Tyme!   I"m not going away all together, but things will ch...

Okay but this little guy is just the cutest baby I have EVER seen!!!  I'm a little biased being one of his "nana's"...but he is pretty damn cute if you ask this one!!!  It's nice getting along with Megan's mom - and getting fun pictures posted for us on Facebook since we don't live where they all do and all!  Karson is our youngest grandson, Megan's 4th (and last) child!   Since he loves Thomas the Train, my husband decided to get him this fun little train for his first birthday - it lights up and talks and everything!!!  His birthday card, was so much fun for me to make - using the cupcake punch by EKSuccess - in more "boy" colors, and since he turned one, he got "one" cupcake!!!  A simple happy birthday punch off to the side, with a scrap of striped paper for the background!  This was a more simple card to do, but turned out cute with the colors I used!   The best thing about using punches and stamps - you can customize each...

I have enjoyed being on the Creative Paperclay design team for the past year!  It's not the free product I get to play with during my term - it's more the team of ladies I get to work with, and the ideas they give me for creating with Creative Paperclay!  My design team leader Terri Sproul has been a huge help in me being able to create larger projects and get out of my comfort zone a bit!  Today's post on the Creative Paperclay blog , actually sparked a whole new project for me - everything a beginner would need to know for using Creative Paperclay!!!  I will update you when that post is ready to go for sure, but for now - check out some of the GREAT projects and tips on the blog now!    Thanks for stopping by, Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme and Creative Paperclay Design Team
