I’m So LOST (week one)………..

So if you are like me….you are going thru LOST with drawls right now!  I just saw here that the final season of LOST will be a full 18 hours!  Sweet.  Maybe we will finally get some long awaited answers…..  I doubt it!  But- I LOVE the show anyway.

I used the season 5 picture as my focal point.  Added machine stitching, a pocket to house a Club Scrap tag, and some of my better paper.  (of course…)

So my plan is to post a new LOST project/card every Wednesday until the premiere in February.  Wow- that is a lot of weeks!  I am hoping it will help me get thru until then.  And to all my other LOST followers…….some little LOST tidbits to tide you over until then!
And here is a interesting clip answering some questions about the ending of the show……

Flip Flop Card……………….

Years ago my friend Lisa gave me a plant in a ceramic pot. These ceramic flip flops were hanging on the pot. Since I always like to re-cycle and re-use just about anything I can….I used the pot to make a candle and saved these cute little flops. Well I came across them when I was cleaning out my “stash”.
They are a little heavy for a card….but I did it anyway. I think it turned out pretty cute. I wonder if Lisa will remember them??

Whoops….that is not a vampire………….

Neither is this one…………………

(But they sure are cute……)

Now we are getting somewhere…………………

What an exciting week over on the Twilight Tuesday blog!
The stamps sets from Artful INKables are amazing. If you did not rush over and buy one yet- you can go leave a comment on the TTIC blog for a chance to win!

Here is another project that I made using the stamps……

Gotta have the beads……..

I sewed this bad boy button on by hand………

My monkey man……….

This is shutter card. I found the tutorial over at Splitcoaststampers. Pretty easy to make with dramatic results! It is 12” long. However once folded it will fit in a standard envelope.

Speaking of envelopes……………….

I have to share my DEAL with you. I found these at Walmart. (I know…I know. Here is my take….the end of the world comes and Walmart and juice box straw wrappers is all that will be left.) Not my favorite store- but I find myself there all the time anyway! Right, now back to the envelopes. They are $4.47 for a pack of 50. They have them in white and ivory. Enough said.
