Here is my interpretation of Beate's Weekend Sketch challenge. My blue piece is a little bigger than it should be I think but I still like this card.



Supplies used: Cupcake stamp set, White, Tempting Turquoise, and Pixie Pink cardstock, pink brads, aquapainter. I watercolored the cupcake image using the aquapainter and ink pads.

Silver swirl

I love the hardware pieces but I usually have a hard time figuring out how to use them on my projects. Here are two cards I made using the swirly pieces. This is a retired set (Little Layers) but could easily be adjusted to use a current set.



Finally here are some cards

Monday, March 24, 2008

I did not get to stamp yesterday, we were so busy with other fun stuff. But I did manage to take some pictures of some cards I had previously made to show.

This was the first stamp set I ever bought, Button Bear. I used it here to make a monochramatic card using Glorious Green ink and cardstock.



And here is a card using A Tree for All Seasons and Wonderful Words stamp sets.

Somebody stop me

Or I will put a rub-on on everything. I bought these little pink buckets in the dollar spot at Target and used the white Stampin' Up rub-ons this time. The rub-ons didn't go on quite as smoothly as the glass and candles but it still worked.

Rub it on

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

I received a stamp order for my friend Kelley on Monday. I had ordered a couple of things with it but nothing too exciting (no stamp sets). However I did get a set of the rub-ons that were part of the sale-a-bration promotion. Below you will see the project that I made but Oh My Word! why did I not get any of those sooner. They are fantastic!! They are way better than any other rub-ons I have used. I had seen several people use them on some objects (as opposed to paper) and I loved the idea. So while at Dollar Tree today I picked up a couple of candles and candle holders. Here is how they turned out. (the picture is not real good of the glass, just imagine that it is better IRL)



I tried to get a close up of one of the candle holders, not sure if it helped though.



And here are the candles:

Ask Away

Monday, March 17, 2008

Sorry I haven't posted any projects in a while. Last week was the end of a nine weeks for me at school and I am always frantically grading and trying to get things finished. I did not stamp at all last week, I know it is too terrible to go for one day without stamping much less one week but it happens. Well this week is spring break and I am hostessing bunco in April so I have lots of things that need to get stamped so I should have several things to upload in the future. In the meantime I thought it would be fun for you to ask any questions you want of me. I will answer these in another post this week so ask away.

Cased card

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

I made this card the other day. I cased this card from a similar one I saw on SCS. You can see the original card here.

Supplies used: Pumpkin Pie and Really Rust cardstock and ink, Time Well Spent and Sincere Salutations stamp sets, Circle Punch, Scallop Punch and Target dollar spot ribbon.

WSC #38

Here is my attempt at Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. I had printed the sketch at work Friday and then when we got to leave early due to the incoming snow I forgot to pick up the copy. So last night when I was working on this my husband was on the computer so I was going from memory. The middle part doesn't exactly look like the sketch but it works I guess. I made this pretty quickly and there are no embellishments so needless to say it is not my favorite card but again it works.



Supplies used: For a Friend stamp set, Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip cardstock, and non-SU patterned paper.

Flower Coaster Box

Friday, March 7, 2008

I made this coaster box using these instructions from splitcoast. These coasters I used are pretty thick. I found them at Dollar Tree, 8 for $1. I of course used my crop-a-dile to punch the holes. I made this box for Wendy who was the bunco hostess last night for the month of March. Then I added some cards I had previously made and a little bag of candy.

Front view:

And finally here is the box with all the stuff in it:

Hot Air Balloon page

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

In September we went to a sort of fair in town and rode in a hot air balloon. Now the balloon was tethered to the ground but still fun. I wanted to make the scrapbook really neat and looked everywhere for hot air balloon stuff and of course could not find it. A friend of mine went with me and she created her own balloon on her scrapbook pages so I copied her. Only she won't put anything 3-dimensional on her page so she just drew her ropes and I decided to add string to my balloon. Anyway here are the pages.




Some scrapbook pages

Monday, March 3, 2008

I always forget to post some of my scrapbook pages on here. Yesterday I was too busy playing the American Idol game at my BIL's that I did not stamp anything. These are some pages that I created a while back at a crop.
