Rachael's Handmade Designs

Hi All, I've been getting some messages lately that comments are not available on my blog. OH NO! :P So I have done some fiddling and hopefully the problem is resolved. I'm absolutely loving my new crafting space! I've got more room to spread out and craft, and I find myself crafting more often. And best yet! I live alone, so I don't have to clean up if I don't want to! (And better STILL - NO ROOMMATES!!!) Not that I ever did before because I crafted in my own room, but now I'm using the space dedicated in my apartment for a dining room as my crafting space, so it's not taking up space in my bedroom. (Just making my apartment look messy - ha!) Where do you craft? I'd love to see your crafting space and how you organize your creative space. I've started on a new card featuring an image from Anita Be Stampin. I chose Sasha. First I colored my image with my copic markers. I chose a cool color palette to form a cohesiveness with the entire card. ...

Hi All! Welcome Back!! I'm so happy to be blogging again! Do you know why?! I'm FINALLY - YES, FINALLY moved into my new place!! I'm unpacked and have my new craft room set up! Actually it's not so much a room as my apartment dining room/part of my living room, but...sure beats scrapping in my room on a card table! I can actually SPREAD OUT! *So* nice!! I sat down to make a simple Halloween card two days ago. I think it turned out quite nicely! I just love purple and orange and teal together!! What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know! ;-) Cheers, Xo, Rachael

Hello Again my Friends!!! So glad you came back for a gander! :0) I had a great, relaxing weekend. Take a look at some new items in the shop! I made this cute little "thanks" card with flower and two butterflies. It's out of my norm, but that's my handwriting in the sentiment. Also, LOVING the butterfly feature on my cricut!! They're coated in pink to pop them and I added a little bling to add some sparkle. Cute, huh? I thought it was perfect for summer! I also added this sweet butterfly 5x5 card to the shop as well! Isn't this absolutely adorable? I used designer papers from the hopskotch line, as well as some other fancy printed papers I've been stashing away for far too long! ;-) Check back tomorrow for my Stuff I Love entry! And then on Wed you can see everything I've been working on in the studio lately! Cheers, Xo, Rachael

Hi Everbody! I've got some cute new additions to the shop! I made this sweet little coffee card with a new coffee stamp. Available for Mother's Day is this sweet textured floral card. I also have a dog-themed greeting that's pretty cute! Would be perfect for Dad. And of course, there's Betty. Hope you enjoy these cards! Cheers, Xo, Rachael
