Welcome wreath

| Published 11.01.2010

More fall colors :) Shucks, I love this time of year :)
Gotta card for the following challenges;

Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge

Embellish Color Challenge 


A twist on the embellish challenge was to add a vintage touch. Not my forte but I gave it a try...


I'm loving my new diamonds impression plate from PTI. It does the most perfect letterpress-like effect! *happy sigh*

This card also applies for the following challenges;
wee memories - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - punches and die cuts
4 crafty chicks - die cuts or punches

Dublin-style

I love the most recent Taylored Expressions sketch so much that I had to make another card with it :)
This time I used the Play Date Cafe's colors. I also loved making the paper clip bookmarks - had to try that again too :)


This time I made a comfy chair from black felt and stamped the chair on top in white ink. ADDENDUM: I first saw this idea on Nichole Heady's blog HERE.
The inside....


Here's a close up of the bookmark...

July Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

| Published 7.25.2010



Another month down, another Papertrey Blog Hop! I love this time of the month 'cause it usually means I've received my new Papertrey goodies :)

The Blog Hop Challenge this month is to use office supplies in your project.


I've wanted to make these paper clip bookmarks for some time now - man, were they easy! I'm not sure what I was waiting for :) There's a great tutorial HERE.
Here's a close up of the bookmark in place...


I used card board from the back of stack of patterned paper, which was die cut with nesties, as the base. Then I used the same die to cut a piece of patterned paper. The thread in the button is actually DMC memory thread - it's awesome. I found it at my local Joann's Fabrics. The paperclip is a large one from Staples. Another shot with the bookmark moved just a little....


Here's the inside...


I used the latest Taylored Expressions sketch for inspiration - I LOVE this sketch!!! It works so well with these little paper bookmarks.


This card also qualifies for the Pink Elephant challenge this week which is to use brown.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have fun hopping!!!

TTFN,

I'm melting.....

| Published 7.08.2010


Like many other places, it's hot, hot, hot here. Whew! Thank goodness for modern marvel of air conditioning I say. You really realize how much you miss it when you can't use it - our upstairs unit started pumping out hot air a few days ago. I went upstairs to visit my favoritest room (my craft room) and nearly fainted when I reached the top of the stairs - it was 89 degrees! The repairman came today so I was able to finally head upstairs to craft some - YAY! At least our downstairs unit is working fine so no flaring tempers or cool showers :)
Got a card for the most recent Taylored Expressions sketch challenge.



This card also works for the following challenges;
the cuttlebug spot - embossing
Lexi's Creations Challenge - 3D
Oh La La La Creations - simply summer
Shabby Tea Room - make an impression
Creative Card Crew - to die for
Little Red Wagon - nestabilities
Crafty Calendar Challenge - summer
Stampin' Bees - polka dots
Speedy the Cat - use a die cut

I love the DCWV matt stacks! The best thing is that you can pick 'em up at Joann's periodically for 40% off. The patterned papers here are from the Green Stack. Whimsical, fun and made with recycled paper :)   I'm loving this stamp set from WPlus9 Studio called Funky Foliage! It's so versatile and has such clean lines. And I pulled out my fav PTI impression plate again to emboss the kraft under the trees - I'm completely hooked on this one!

It's almost Friday! Thanks so much for stopping by!

TTFN,
