I will be updating there as soon as I can.

Here Comes The Bride...

2009-07-09T10:48:00.008-05:00

I used the new victoria case digital stamp (I sound like a commercial for victoria case don't I?). I used my sewing machine to stitch both the outside left and around the Paper Trey Ink gorgeous Paper from the hodge podge collection.

I cant wait until tomorrow to see what victoria comes out with next! This card is for sale. Leave me a comment if your interested. :)

Victoria Case Challenge #6

2009-07-05T20:31:00.011-05:00

I did another Victoria Case Challenge.

I love this new digi image I just bought from her, it is called The Shopper.

This challenge was to create a card using one of her images as well as Black Kraft and Red Cardstock. I dont own any Kraft, but brown came pretty close. I colored the shopper in with my prismas and OMS. I cut her out and added an extra dog and extra packages. A girl can never have enough packages! Those dogs are too darn cute, Their collars are embellished with glossy accents. The red scalloped square was embossed with my dots cuttlebug folder and that fantastic paper is from Basic Grey. I also used my ek success swiss dots punch to make that fun pattern on the black piece.

Oh I do want to mention how you all can save alot of money on sentiments! Instead of spending money why not just look through your favorite stamping company, find that just right sentiment and then get a free font from fontspace.com and then create it in word. More than likely you will find the same font they used :) That is what I did with this sentiment :)

This is one of my favorite images of Victoria Case so far. I cant wait for her new release on the 10th!

Victoria Case Blog Challenge #5

2009-06-30T19:43:00.008-05:00

This is the sketch we followed this week:

I didnt follow the sketch exactly, I changed it up a bit.

It took me 5 attempts at doing this, I am very tired tonight, Both kids are home and I couldnt get my mojo working. But It finally clicked into gear! Woohoo..

I love this new image of Victoria Case's Stork I used my copics to color in the stork, stickles on the baby blanket and Safari Kids Stack Pack by DCWV. I have a bunch of cute buttons in my stash, and I just happen to find that tug board. My sentiment is a stamp i found at Hobby Lobby. That circle where the sentiment lays is from SCAL its actually a Spellbinders file called Dahlia, I googled it and I found the SVG. :) If you want a copy let me know.

Have a great night.

Stitching on Cards

2009-06-28T15:29:00.005-05:00

I am so glad to have my sewing machine back in working condition. I finally can do some sewing. One of my blog buddies Stephanie was kind of enough to send me some penny black images, as I dont own any, Thank you so much!!! I dont know the name of this stamp set. I love them and they are on my wish list.

I stitched on this card using the PTI cardstock because of its weight. Its very heavy and handles stitches well. I used black straight stitch and a yellow scallop stitch. I love the way embrodiery thread looks on cards. It has a nice shine to it.

Room Photos

2009-06-24T22:06:00.010-05:00

As promised here is my new room. The new color is a greenish blue, looks very blue on camera. Not sure why. I didnt make the curtains yet, I just draped the fabric on my rod (the machine is in for service) I still need a few things, an area rug, some photos, pillows another chair. But I got the painting done! Woohoo

This is what it look like before. It was my sons room. I kicked him out hehehe. Naah hes in a new room now.

And this is what it looks like now..

Computer/Cricut Area

This Ugly book case is going to be replaced with More adjustable shelves and I would like a real sewing table one day :)

The Closet Area

My PaperCraft Area, I want a new table one day here too.

I am glad the painting is done. It needed 3 coats to cover that blue! I will post more pics when it looks more put together.

Finished Painting!!

2009-06-20T16:44:00.002-05:00

I finished painting my room!! Woohooo! (well now i must repaint the trim and doors but that can wait) I am going to clean up tonight, and will take pics in the morning. I am so happy to have a bright new room!

check back here tomorrow for pics and some blog candy!!

Grape Fairy

2009-06-17T21:14:00.004-05:00

I won this stamp at a contest over at SNR Universe and I finally got around to using it. I love love this stamp! I used Gina K's Embossing tutorials and I am in Love with this technique!!!

I used Stampin Up Purple Cardstock, Momento Ink and a cosmetic sponge for the shading, my yummy Prisma Pencils with OMS and of course my scalloped nestie dies. Now I want more nesties! hehe....

Have a good day!

Gina K Stamp TV Challenge

2009-06-17T21:11:00.002-05:00

I been watching but felt not good enough to participate, I thought since I had the night free I would give this one a try.

The challenge was to use our nestibilites die to make a card. I never did this before, I couldnt ever figure it out! LOL.

Thanks to Gina over at Stamptv I finally understand!! If you havent been there, you must go!

Here is my card.

What a Great idea!

2009-06-16T12:34:00.001-05:00

since i am in the process of redoing my room, Yes I am still painting. I only have 2 days to do it during the week. And most of that time I am doing other stuff.

But this is a must do on my list!

http://www.marthastewart.com/good-things/papered-switch-plates?xsc=eml_crd_2009_06_16

Just have to decide what paper to choose.

Victoria Case Challenge #3

2009-06-13T23:46:00.007-05:00

Here is a another Awesome challenge over at VC challenges!!

The sketch this week is this. It is nice and easy but of course it took me hours to decide on the color scheme. hehe

I used the Angel sitting on a Halo image called Angel Heart from VC, and colored her in with my prisma pencils. The background paper is from K&CO, I used some really nice ribbon on my recent trip to Hobby Lobby. I also picked up a big bag of buttons, so cute on cards! I faded out the white on the image a bit with some martha stewart green chalk. I think it makes her look like she in the clouds.

I hope you enjoy your day.

Victoria Case Tara Image

2009-06-11T10:22:00.006-05:00

I am little late for this challenge, the winner was already picked, my room is such a disaster I couldnt get in their sooner. I used the free image from Victoria Case, the challenge was pink, black and white. I colored her in with my copics and used paper I had in my stash. Cant decide on a sentiment yet, they are packed away. Once I am finished painting, I will add one on to this card.

victoria Case New FREE Image

2009-06-09T08:47:00.003-05:00

Painting Time

2009-06-04T15:14:00.001-05:00

I am painting my room and hubby is putting up shelves this weekend. So I wont be creating stuff for about a week. My room is in a complete disarray.

I will post pics when its done :)

Congrats Grad!

2009-05-31T21:12:00.004-05:00

Isnt this the cutest image?? This is a digital download from Squigglefly, called For You, I think I am becoming obsessed with digital images. The graduation hat is a Clip Art file I found on google images. I made the turtle extra big so I could make a 5x5 card. I finally used my stickles, they have been abandoned for too long. Poor guys! hehe.

Love using digital because it doesnt take up any room! No more storing stamps, Just throw them on my backup drive and thats it!

Dont forget you can also use clipart, just resize and print out.

Missing You!

2009-05-31T10:27:00.006-05:00

I love this Sugar Nellie Image called Carefree, she is so carefree and so not worried about life. Just wish I could hang out like this and not think of doing chores, especially the laundry.

I used my pencils to color her in. I like to use pencils for more detailed images. I did the ribbon technique here too. It may become my signature. The patterned paper is from paper studio, i have a bunch of miscellaneous paper, it just so happened to match!

This is my gorgeous daughter holding this card!

Have a great day.

Victoria Case Challenge #2 SNR

2009-05-30T17:22:00.009-05:00

This card was made for the challenge over at SNR. I used the Spring image by Victoria Case. I combined my copics and pencils to color her in. We had to use the color combination of Rust Orange, Olive Green, Brown and Ivory.

Victoria Case Challenge Card

2009-05-29T10:39:00.014-05:00

Victoria Case is having a challenge on her blog. I had so much fun making this card. Victoria case has beautiful digital images, They are so much fun to color in. In this challenge she is giving away a free image. Willy is so cute!!!

This is the sketch we had to follow..

Here is my Card:

I used Bazill Papers for this card. The polka dot paper is from a basics pack from paper studio. Punched out matching papers for the flowers. And willy is accompanied by my layered stapled ribbon. My prisma pencils were used, I didnt even need gamsol to blend. I just used various shades of the same color to blend it in perfectly.

I also printed out one for my daughter, she loves to color just like Mommy. Look how cute! I think she did pretty well for a 4 year old :)

Have a great Day!!!

Hang Tough!

2009-05-27T19:30:00.005-05:00

I made this one for my son, he is 6 and in Kindergarten. He took this picture for his school photos (I have to mail my MIL one) He looks so sad or grown up, I cant decide.

I used SCAL with a free font from Fontspace called ABCcar. I used my Archaic Paper and all its accessories for the other fun stuff. This was an easy page to make thanks to Basic Grey, I have found my new favorite paper.

Thanks for looking :)

Fabric Covered Bullentin Boards

2009-05-27T16:52:00.011-05:00

LETS GET ORGANIZED! WOOHOOO!

This week my goal is to get organized. So sick of the kids papers all over the house. So I went to Hobby Lobby with coupons in hand and bought some bulletin boards and fabric. All you have to do is staple the back of the board and make it neat. Of course you need to use a heavy duty stapler.

This one is mine. For my Craft room

This is my daughters she already put alot of her pictures on.

And this one is my sons. Need to get the wrinkles yes I know :(

I have one more to make but cant show you as hubby may see it :)

Go try this its so easy and so cheap!! If you buy these predone it could cost you a fortune. With my coupon the board was just 5.00 and the fabric was just 4.00. Staple gun and staples we already owned. (These are a GREAT investment) I am sure you can use Glue if you are patient enough to wait for it to dry.

A MUST BUY!!!!

2009-05-24T21:10:00.004-05:00

i recently discovered CISTAMPS.COM. They have a grab bag for 20 bucks, I got one and there are about 25 stamps in it, all umounted all really cute. There is one I think I didnt like. Here is the link..

If you know of other good grab bag deals please let me know!

Cool Ribbon Technique

2009-05-23T18:37:00.003-05:00

I am not sure what this ribbon technique is called but its one of my favorites to do. I used a simple glittery rubon and dollar bin ribbon from Michaels to make this easy peasy card.

Boys Out Fishing

2009-05-23T18:24:00.005-05:00

I bought alot of Basic Grey paper on clearance at Michaels and this paper just called out to me! I love love it. It Anarchic Basic Grey, I think it looks like fish gills. Used my copics of course, its time to get new colors! hehe..

The stamp is from Sugar Nellies, Arent those boys cute?? I love this paper pack, I think I paid just 6.00 each, for 12x12! Incredible, I love sales.

Get Well

2009-05-20T12:45:00.008-05:00

I found this adorable stamp at CIS Stamps. He was so cute I had to have him. I bought a few others, make sure you check out their grab bag too. Its a great deal!

I used my yummy copics for this cutie, SU DSP, and Ric Rac. I love using Ric Rac, I comes in so many colors that you could never get bored.

Ribbon Storage

2009-05-15T11:39:00.006-05:00

Finally I can breathe!! I had my ribbon the cropper hopper with dowels, it was such a mess.

So I went to Hobby Lobby found these fantastic fabric covered boxes, I bought a ton. I put all my ribbons in the big one, with room to spare!

I am getting rid of all my unmatched baskets.

Then added my Thickers.

MY ROOM - UPDATED AGAIN!!

2009-05-14T19:41:00.007-05:00

i GOT A NEW TABLE!! Cleaned up the room. I just need some wall stuff, some rails and shelves and a fun colored table cloth. I was going to paint but I am happy with the color. I need curtains and a cool rug and some wall art. I am taking down the doors and will add curtains. The doors are too big for this room. I opted for a round table instead of along rectangle one, takes less space.

2009-05-14T10:53:00.004-05:00

Trying on Wedding Dresses Scrapbook Layout

2009-05-13T19:24:00.007-05:00

I am in the process of scrapbooking my life. This layout is the day I went to the bridal store and tried on dresses, this happened to be the dress i chose (this was 10 years ago - bling was in lol) I still need to decide on what kind of journalling I will do. I may do a die cut on chipboard, havent decided yet. I am brave to show my picture on this blog!! This was me 10 years ago, before kids, marriage and life got in the way.

I used SCAL on the cricut for most of it, markers for title and sub title, a stampin up die cut (yes I copied it SHH dont tell!).

What kind of journalling do you think I should use? I want it on the right side of that empty space.

Watercoloring

2009-05-13T19:20:00.004-05:00

I bought some Stampin Up Stamps from my good friend Tami Blake
This one is from the current mini. Not sure what the name is, I need to dig it out and see.

I used my Maury Markers and huffed and puffed on the stamps untill I got the right coloring I wanted, I printed off that sentiment with my computer.

Its one of my favorite techniques.

Glad to be back stamping! Kids take up so much time. :)

Its Starting to Get Organzied!!

2009-05-13T19:17:00.005-05:00

This is my scraproom closet, its still a work in Progress. I need to add lights in it one day.

I bought these Great boxes at hobby lobby.. They will store my photos.

The rest of the room is still a mess so I wont show you any more! LOL

Stampers of The Month Challenge

2009-04-26T14:14:00.005-05:00

I did this challenge at Paper Therapy, we had to use brown and pink color combo.
Its a simple card. I used my vinyl thickers, paper trey ribbon and cardstock, SEI patterned paper and of course a button. Didnt feel like stamping today, or coloring. I have so many thickers decided I may as well use them. Today was a simple day so I need to make a simple card.

I hope you will come by and participate in one of our many challenges at Paper Therapy

Paper Therapy Button Challenge

2009-04-25T20:22:00.003-05:00

This card was made for the challenge over at Paper Therapy. I posted it for the Design Team as well as all the members.

The challenge was to make a card with buttons.

Thank you Cards

2009-04-11T10:49:00.007-05:00

Details: I got this idea from Kristen Werner on Two Peas in bucket. She used staples in her ribbon, which i would have never thought of doing on my own.

This was a nice simple basic card. I may make a bunch more to have on hand. :)

New Cards for April

2009-04-05T21:12:00.011-05:00

I made these cards for some of my family members. I made them last week but I didnt want them too see them. So I hope they received them in the mail by now!

This Stamp set if from StampingBella, its called cruisabella
Isnt she just so Lovely? I used my copics in a variety of red shades, basic brown ribbon from Michaels, Designer Paper from K&CO, and Prisma Flowers
I really enjoyed making this card, I am in the process of buying a new bella each month. One day I will have them all (but then there will be more) So this cycle will never end! LOL I wrote in "Enjoy your Day" with a Journal Pen.

This next card was made with the new Stampin' Up! new set from the mini catalog called And Many More. . I used my new Martha Stewarts Zig Zag punch for the embossed white area. Of course I embossed with Swiss Dots. Can you tell I love my cuttlebug? I used the nesties again. I found that adorable designer paper at Hobby Lobby. The golfer was colored in with my copics. I edged the square with one of my yellow copics. Just rubbed it in with my fingers.

This final card was made for my Sister in Law. She just got engaged to a great guy!! CONGRATS AGAIN SARAH!!

This envelope was made with a some fab paper I had in my stash, I have no idea who makes it! But I got lucky! The card was made with a stamp I found at Michaels. I got the idea of adding pom pom fabric (ribbon) to my card from Papertreyink.com's Blog. I thought it was so great! Now I need to go to Walmart and find more pom pom ribbons!!

The paper was from K&CO again, yes I own almost every paper pack from K&CO. I love it!!

The stamped image was distressed with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks. And of course I used my cuttlebug with embossing folders and nesties :)

the only thing I had trouble with is that pom pom ribbon was hard to cut! I wish I added an embellishement on each end to cover my bad cutting job :( I hope she doesnt notice!

Have a great day!

Tim Holtz Yummy Stamps!

2009-03-12T15:28:00.002-05:00

Went into Mikes the other day I noticed they are selling Tim Holtz Stamps, I dont know the name of this I have to look it up but I just love it. His stamps are clear and soo thick! I cant believe I was able to find it at Mikes of all places!

I also plurged on new Paper Trey Ink Cardstock. This green is called Ripe Avocado. So yummy!! That patterned paper is from a collection called Zen Garden got last year at Mikes for under 5 dollars for a big pack, I love after Christmas sales.

I made this card very simple and very modern, No coloring or using my dies or cricut, I was the easiest card I made in a while.

have a great day!

SNOW ? YESSSSSSS

2009-03-02T10:41:00.006-06:00

Can you believe that Tennessee was hit with 6 inches of snow? It happened yesterday. We woke up to the windows covered with white stuff. The kids were shocked! My Daughter especially was thrilled, she finally was able to make snow angels!

You can see here my son wanted nothing to do with it!! He couldn't wait to go inside.

Hang in There

2009-02-23T15:28:00.004-06:00

I made this card for splitcoast stampers card sketch challenge 215. Can you guess what that crimped chipboard is from?? I will give you a hint it has to do with coffee. :)

The stamp set the monkey came from is Autumn Leaves called Mindys Zoo. I used a variety of K&CO paper from various packs i had. And of course I used my Copics. I didnt want the ribbon to take over the card so I used fiber instead. That sentiment is from my computer, I used Microsoft Word and printed it on cardstock.

I am going to do alot more challenges out there, know of good ones? Let me know.

Enjoy your day.

High Hopes Card

This is my card for submission to the High Hopes Design Team. Its my first time doing this, so I am a bit nervous. I followed a sketch found here. I hope the pictures are good! :)

I used an old Angel Company stamp set called Dress Up, My little girl was colored in with copics. Paper is from The Angel Company and K&CO. The card is 5x5, my favorite size to work with.

I added 3 sentiments, the say bejoyful, behappy, beunique. These are all the things we can be strive to be from a little girl who plays dress up. Children are great examples of pure happiness. They represent us and how we can all strive to be unique, joyful and happy.

UPDATE: I didnt make it to the DT, but i was fun trying :)

Have a great day!

Hey Sweetie

2009-02-20T12:50:00.008-06:00

Oh I love my sugar nellies, I wish i had an unlimited budget so I can buy them all!

I made this card with my copics! I am really loving them these days. I used E09 and e37 on her hair, her jeans I used b32 and B2, the shirt was colored in with a bic marker, The dog was also colored in with the same hair color, the chair she is sitting - i used C3 and C5.

That patterned paper is from K&CO. Its double sided and so yummy!

The stamp set is called sitting with bear, and I used Martha Stewart ribbon, It is such pretty ribbon i love 7/8th sized, but this ribbon is hard to cut! Just to warn you it shreds easily. When I find a new pink that thick I will replace it.

I cut out the shapes with my cricut, plantin cartridge, flowers are by Petaloo. They are really nice! Better than punching them out. You must try these.

I am so happy summer is coming, Pink and Greens! Yippiee

have a great day

What Up Dog?

2009-02-18T21:18:00.005-06:00

I created this card with stamps from The Angel Company, Called DIGGITY DOGS , I used my copics on these cuties - I need to use these more often, I love the effect it gives, I used my Bazzill stash with K and Co Paper and SU Punch ( i forget the name).

I was in a mood to use this stamp set, I just bought it recently.

Watch for upcoming blog candy!

My Little Artist

2009-02-17T09:42:00.007-06:00

I havent had much time to craft lately, I been so busy with the kids, house and life. My daughter didnt want to go to preschool today, softie I am I let her stay home. So she wanted to do some coloring. I stamped a few images and let her use my inexpensive pencils.

She did a GREAT job! She is only 4 and already loves to color :)

I hope Grandma logs into my blog to see this!

Have an Ice Day!

2009-02-05T18:37:00.006-06:00

In honor of the cold Tennessee weather we are having here lately, I took out my new TAC stamps and went to town!

I used Perky Penguins, Good Timber and Mountain Scenery. I masked the entire thing and printed out my sentiment with word. The cutie penguins were colored in with my prisma pencils

This looks like where we used to live in the catskills in NY, (except there werent any penguins!) I miss it dearly! Thank you Jackie F for convincing me to buy Good Timber, I just love this stamp set!

Have an Ice Day!

Color Inspiration Challenge - Update

2009-02-01T14:45:00.011-06:00

please check out my new color challenge on Paper Therapy -
I hope you will participate!

Here is my take on the sketch.

I used a Rubbernecker Stamp called Belle, She was colored in with my Prisma Pencils and the blender, I used my spellbinders (brown zebra print) and my cuttlebug embossing folder (on the black part). I still need to add a sentiment but I will wait till an occasion arrives.

thank you. I hope you will try this challenge too!

Lets Go Sailing!

2009-01-31T19:03:00.003-06:00

This card was made with my brand new stamp set from The Angel Company called Ship Collage Its a single stamp and its only $5.95! Its a great stamp for a man card. Navy Blue cardstock is perfect for a man card!

I made this one to put in my card box for an upcoming holiday for the guy in my family. I didnt add a sentiment yet.

The coloring was done with my prisma pencils and some varied palette ink colors to achieve a nautical look with blues and reds. All from The Angel Company.

I also used my yummy spellbinders to create that scallop shape. I need more spellbinder shapes.

I used my brayer which I need to use more, I used Stampin up inks. Brocade Blue, Cameo Coral and Handsome Hunter. I used Momento Inks in Black for the stamped images. I masked in the valley and mountain shapes with plain ole printing paper torn into hills and valleys. It was fun to do. This one is going inside a frame. Should I sign it? LOL

Have a great night.

Details: This photo was taken in Moscow Russia, She was just 18 months Old. Its her first Hamburger and Fries!

It is part one of two, i am working on the next page. All my words were made with SCAL, as well as the scallops and the Mc Donalds sign. The only chipboard I used was the Word First and the hearts, its from K&Co.

I weaved the ribbon the left side and made a journal card in a pocket. I used the Angel Company stamp for the journal square.

Thanks for looking..

Save On Thickers!

2009-01-03T15:51:00.004-06:00

I just came back from Hobby Lobby, They were having a half price off sale for all their stickers, including THICKERS, you know the foam alphabet stickers, they were 4.99 and half off that isnt bad.

But then I walked around the store, I always go into the kids section. I have two kids, they always want to look at the toys. So I walked by this amazing thing! I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw a bucket, yes a huge bucket of FOAM letters and shapes!! Each bucket had over 500 pieces of all different shapes and font sizes. They are going for just 7.99 for a big bucket!!!

Never again will I spend 4.99 for one packet of thickers! I am going to check Oriental Trading to see if they have a better selection of foam items!

Just thought you might like to know.

I cant believe my little girl is 4 years old! She is so different now. Talks, cries alot, has fits, but is very smart and loveable too!

I made this for her. I think I may have to make another one, I took so many pictures now that I have an amazing camera (Nikon). I cut out the title with SCAL (Sure Cuts Alot) with my cricut. It is awesome, never again will I buy a font cartridge again! Check out the link to the right and see for yourself. I still need to journal, but where am I gonna put it?? Maybe a hidden pull tab from the back??

Christmas Cards.. No Stamps!

2008-12-12T20:05:00.007-06:00

I made a bunch of Holiday Cards tonight, Need to add a few finishing touches. I made about 20 in about 3 hours.

I used NO Stamps! I did use Paper Trey Cardstock and ribbon, The paper came from a scrapbook magazine from last christmas. It was a freebie : I used my Martha Stewart punches. I have tons of Xmas stamps but none of them did it for me this year.

have a great night.

Some Humor on a Thursday....

2008-12-11T11:37:00.007-06:00

I am so tired of hearing how bad the economy is, Dont you wish someone can just come in with a plunger and make it all go away? It just seems to be getting worse and worse so last night I came up with a card hopefully to bring a smile to your face.

I did the sentiment in SCAL (Sure cuts alot) on my cricut. The angel is from The Angel Company, called Just Dream, The plunger is from a Gina K stamp.

The shapes were also cut out on my cricut, The side punch is my favorite Martha Stewart punch, cornice, the ribbon slide is an Ek success punch i
found on clearance at Michaels - I think I paid 2.00 for it. The paper is from my unknown pile :) But it works.

Have a great day!

Thank you to all my Blog buddies!

2008-12-08T16:50:00.001-06:00

Thank you for all the gorgeous RAK cards you all sent me. I appreciate your kindness. Your talent is incredible as are your hearts.

We got good news today!!

2008-12-04T16:35:00.003-06:00

After almost 2 years of not knowing if my son was Autistic or worse. The doctors said he just has ADHD and other minor issues. PHEW!! I am so happy to hear this. This means he wont need to go to a special school. He justs needs extra help in school and a medication change.

I bought him a new garage today to celebrate. I found it a local consignment store!

Happy Birthday Card with Cricut!

2008-11-25T23:06:00.012-06:00

I am really loving my cricut! Since I bought Sure Cuts Alot at www.craftedge.com I have been one happy gal!

I used the Susans BlueRobot's file from her blog to create the card itself, It is an SVG file. Just save it and cut it with SCAL, its just that easy. I also used the SCAL to cut out my die cut. It looks just like Stampin' Up but I didnt spend 22 dollars for it.

I love creating unique cards and I think is as unique as I have been lately. Its done with a simple cinderella stamp and some pencils.

I made it for my neighbors daughter who turns 3 tomorrow.

Here is my handmade envelope...

Happy thanksgiving everyone. Dont eat too much turkey! :)

Sitting with Bear Sugar Nellie Card

2008-11-03T21:26:00.015-06:00

Ok I tried another sugar nellie tonight with my new Leaf Branch Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I am trying to be different. LOL So this time I used a peachy colored base, with matching prima flowers.

Isnt she a pretty girl, the stamp? I decided she had to be a blonde, bright blonde, since I am a brunette she had to be opposite me. I again used my Koh I noor pencils and just kept it simple. No sentiment or ribbon this time. I did use my black stickles on the center of the brad on the flower. It gives it a little bling so the card isnt too plain. Not all cards need a sentiment on the front, right?

Cardstock: Mix of Bazzill and Stampin up
Stamps: Sugar Nellie - Sitting with Bear
Ink: Palette
Accessories: Koor I Noor, Cuttlebug, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Prima flowers, Black and Cotton Candy Stickles, Pebbles Chalk and Q tips.

First I stamped my imaged, colored her in with my pencils, then use a nesties die to cut her out in a nice shape.

Next I made my cuttlebug sandwhich (YUMMY) She is sitting inside the embossing folder, Make sure you put the image up so the embossed part is raised and not sunken.

Roll!

There she is after being smooshed! :) She looks great!

Gather your supplies. Add chalk, I use a Q tip and have a eraser near by for mistakes. You can use a chalk spray after wards to keep the chalk in its place.

Finished Card - I added Cotton Candy Stickles on the outside of the nesties circle for a little pizazz.

Close Up

Pen Pal Sugar Nellie

2008-11-03T18:34:00.008-06:00

Details: This is the first time I tried this technique. I dont know what it is called but I saw it out there on somes blog.

I stamped Pen Pal onto white cardstock colored her in with my yummy KOR I NOOR pencils and then i ran her through the cuttlebug with on of my embossing folders. I used some chalk to outline the swirls in the embossing. I hope it looks ok? I am not sure if I absolutely love it or not.

Cardstock: PTI and Bazzil
Stamps: Pen Pal by Sugar Nellie
Ink: Palette Inks
Accessories: Prima Flowers, PTI Ribbon, Kor I Noor Pencils, Cuttlebug, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nesties, Martha Stewart Punch.

Unmounting your Stampin Up Wheels Video

2008-10-28T12:00:00.008-05:00

I have to admit I really hate the whole wheel idea. Buying cartridges and the wheel roller is such a waste. I rather spend my money on stamps. So had a few wheels laying around, not being used.

Today I decided to unmount and while doing that I made a video on how to do it. In the end of the video you will see how I used my Angel Company acrylic blocks to stamp. I also want to mention that these are easy to store in DVD Cases or in any other stamp storage system you may have. It will save you room and lots of money on cartridges so you can buy more Angel Company stamps! :)

The Acrylic Block are available on my website... Click here.

I recommend the 1 1/2 x 8 inch OR the starter kit, i used the biggest one in the starter kit on my video

Those yummy Kai scissors to cut your stamps with are available here - they make a great investment!

You can also purchase the Creative Cling from The Angel Company

I am planning on making more videos real soon now that I figured out Windows Movie Maker.

I will be showing how you can stamp the back of your unmounted stamps soon too. I know alot of people like to see the image before they stamp. Stay Tuned!

The music on my video is by Dr John!

Happy Anniversary to me!!

2008-10-11T16:57:00.005-05:00

Today is my 10th year wedding anniversary. My amazing husband bought me a brand new camera!!

Penguins Pop Up Card

2008-10-09T09:32:00.017-05:00

I used Perky Penguins here from the angel company, I never made a pop up card before so I thought I would give it a try. I used two layers of cardstock, but next time I will make the pop up part with patterned paper so it wont be so thick.

I love Perky Penguins, arent they cute? I made their hat fluffy with Liquid Applique in white, but it also comes in alot of other great colors from the angel company. I colored them in with Prismas and I was done. The snow flake paper is from my LSS.

I had a 50 off coupon at MIKES - I been eyeing this Making Memories Desktop Carousel for weeks!! But i was not going to spend 49.99, but when my coupon came in the mail I took advantage of it!! I love it. I just have make labels. I am going to get another one for my embellishments.
