Loonie Stampers Challenge #36

Well Look at me late again. I am sorry but here is a card I made about a month ago and matches the colors. I don't know why but my mojo has up a Left me...if you see it or have extra let me know.

This weeks was Maria's pick and like I said I made this card about a month ago it just so happened it worked out.

Thanks for stopping in to see me this week and my apologies for being late with my challenge card this time, again. As an apology I give you this wonderful picture to stare at....hello New Moon!!

A Little Orange For Ya!

For this card I trimmed the base of the card front around the scalloped portion instead of having a basic card, I kind of like it! Crocheted flowers of course! These one My Mom actually made.

That's it for today, I have a book to get back to. Yes, it is Twilight....I knew you were gonna ask!

See you tomorrow!

LSC #33... a little late

Sorry I am late, I have been sick with a head cold and didn't have a bunch of mojo. My Dayquil must have kicked in today because I finally got some stuff done.

This week was Char's turn to pick these wonderful colors!!! So reminds me of Easter, yet I made no Easter cards...LOL

This first card I actually like now that I have stared at it long enough...Lol I guess it had to grow on me. All Supplies are Papertrey Ink except my crocheted flowers and the American Craft Brad (which matches almost perfectly to PTI Ocean Tides)

This one is.....not exactly my fav at all, but I am showing you anyway.

All Supplies Papertrey, except the crocheted flowers and the Rhinestone Brads from Recollections.

This last one has a bit more color then it was supposed to but I liked it and I am showing you anyway. Supplies from Papertrey Ink, Making Memories & Stampin Up

I am sure have already done this but if not go see my girls and what they made....great stuff I have to say! Don't forget to link up your challenge results so we can all have a look!

Summer & Butterflies

Another card I submitted last month to Cards mag. It is definitely a little "out there" in terms of style and designs for me, but what the heck. Maybe I will save it for McKayla's Teacher just before summer break!!

Have a happy, bright and cheerful day!!

Thanks, Chickie!

I am so in love with the new Making Memories line Chloe's Closet. I just had to have more the other day when I went to Michael's. I paired the great papers up with a super cute birdie I colored with copics and a perfectly suited sentiment. Love it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a really Tweet day. Sorry Had to do it :)

2 for 1 Papertrey Style

Have you been following the countdown to one of the biggest, most exciting releases ever at Papertrey? If you have not, you should be! Today's post is two of the last challenges they have had. I didn't have time to do the color combo for the contest but decided to do the current challenge using the last challenge colors.

The challenge was to do the connect the dots puzzler which revealed a card sketch. So using the colors in the previous challenge I decided to mix it up a little by making the sketch into a 6x6 scrapbook page for my yearly book. I started by stamping polka dot basics in versamark onto Ocean tides card stock. Then added the center note paper from Making Memories, dressed with some pure poppy grosgrain ribbon. Then I added some huge square jeweled stickers from MM on the right hand side. Next I cut away some of the packaging that the jeweled stickers came on to layer my title. A little bit of going green, but it matched so perfectly I HAD to do it. I used my new favorite Fresh Alphabet for my title and out the year in my own print (I hate my handwriting but whatever...lol) Last but not least, I added a handmade crocheted flower using a variegated thread that matches the summer sunrise perfectly. Are you sick of my crocheted flowers yet? Don't worry that post on getting some is coming soon, I promise!

I love dimension!! Thanks for stopping by to take a peek and good luck to all participants that enter...can you image 95 rolls of ribbon for free?!? I would die! See you again tomorrow!

Trick or Treat!

This is a picture of the entire package I made for my Daughter's Kindergarten Class! There was enough for 12 kids and 2 sets left over for the teachers Kids.

First I started buy creating my own template for this cute little box that perfectly fits 5 packages of rockets (called Smarties as well) Then I simple assembled them, wrapped with decorative paper and added the cupcake guys!! Are those not the cutest? They called trick or sweet from Taylored Expressions! I colored them in with my copic markers and boy was that fun!

...and look I even managed to make them so that they will stand up on their own!

Next I bought the little favour tins from Michael's that you can find in the wedding section. I bought them using my 40% off coupon which makes 30 tins really affordable. Then I wrapped them with Halloween pattern paper and ribbon on the lids. As a final touch I used the little circle labels that came with them and stamped the word Boo from my Making Memories Halloween Set and stuck them on.

Then I got online and search for a non toxic but scented play dough recipe. It was SO easy to make and no one has to worry if their child decides play dough is a great snack! I found the recipe HERE. There are lots of nifty things you can make on that list but I used the kool-aid recipe.

Overall everyone was happy I think and I may even make some more play dough for the kids in my family at Christmas time.

Have a great day people!! Oh and my brand new floors are almost done, I can't wait to show you pictures from my entire main floor!!!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #7 & Introductions

It is that time again when all us crazy stampers get together (via the Internet of course) and lay down a challenge and see what we can do. This week along with Char, Regan and Dee, I am so HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE the addition of 2 members of the Loonie Stampers Challenge. I introduce to you Maria & Wendy!! Please go and check them out and give them a nice warm welcome!!!

Another announcement before I get to my card, we have decided as a group to start doing our challenges weekly, so you can now "tune in" every Friday for a challenge card starting October 3rd!!

So this weeks challenge was put forth by Deanna. She picked Black, Plum Pudding and Summer Sunrise along with a Halloween theme. HOW FUN IS THAT??? Now I did not have any PTI Halloween Stamp sets so I chose to use my new Making Memories set that I picked up while visiting Char last Month. It is so Adorable and I am so glad I bought it.

I started my card on a plum pudding base and layered it with summer sunrise and black. For the black layer I embossed it with my new Cuttlebug spiderweb embossing folder. After I embossed it, I rubbed it with Vanilla craft ink and used stardust embossing powder to get a shimmering web. Then I used my Spellbinders nesties to cut all the circle layers. On the orange layer I sponged some black around it before I removed the die from the paper. Then I embossed it and out the ribbon through it. I also stamped the sentiment and embossed it black and raised it up with dimensional stickers.

I liked the way Char took an angle picture the other day so I decided to try it here to show you how I layers all the scalloped circle. I love dimension!!! I also stamped "boo" with my simple alphabet and cut them out and placed them on, ransom note style!

And I would never leave you without a glimpse of the inside...or would I? OK I would but not today. So I hope you enjoyed my first spooky paper treat of the season, now GO! Go check out the other partners in crime!!!!
