I've been tagged?!?

Ok, so this crazy thing is running rampant around my favorite stamp forum, www.splitcoaststampers.com. People go to your blog and post a comment, saying "You've been tagged" then that means you have to copy and paste this list of info about yourself on your blog. So, here goes...

Cute little V-day gift

The best part about stamping is that you can create cute and easy gifts for any occasion. This is a simple, little gift for friends or family. I just stamped the clear cello bag with Blazing Red Staz-On ink using Stampin' Up!(r)'s Happy Hearts set. The little tag is stamped with the same heart. I highlighted the dots on the heart with the incredible Gellyroll clear Stardust pen. I LOVE this thing!!! (http://cgi.ebay.com/SAKURA-STARDUST-CLEAR-GELLY-ROLL-2-PAK-PEN-NEW-GLITTER_W0QQitemZ280072016533QQihZ018QQcategoryZ11790QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD7VQQcmdZViewItem) Then, I tied the tag to the bag with some silver cord. Super quick and easy.

I have a Midland accent

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland   "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Altered picture frame

I created this super easy altered picture frame this weekend. For those of you who aren't crafty, "altered" means that you take any object and change it's appearance with paper, ink, glue, paint, etc. You can alter anything from notebooks to floor tiles. In this case I used a $2.99 picture frame from Michael's. The frame is like that particle board stuff, not really paper, but not wood either. Hard to explain. I found it in the aisle with the wooden shapes, frames, etc. The idea was NOT my own and I got the instructions from my favorite stamping forum on the web, www.splitcoaststampers.com. Here's the link directly to the tutorial: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/alteredpictureframe.php This frame was so easy to do. I'm going to give it to my niece for her b-day in March. Enjoy!
