Rockin' The Studio

I FINALLY have things back in order! I am slowly but surely getting used to the whole "getting up early" thing...lol. My Daughter is completely LOVIN' Kindergarten and I received a new desk which, as any stamper knows, meant I HAD to reorganize my entire room. :) OK so on to the Rockin'.

My BFF's Husband did the photos for my friends wedding (as seen in this post) and I wanted to let him know how much it was appreciated. She was not even going to have pictures done because it was too expensive and he did a FANTASTIC job!

When I seen the Rock Star set being released from Little Paper Shop I knew it was a MUST have particularly for this card. Justin is in a rock band (no not the Nintento Wii kind) and so I thought a rockin theme would be good. So after I got a boxed set of engravable shot glasses engraved with his monogram I set out to make the card.

He was very happy with the gift, wrapping paper and the card...even though I have successfully fulfilled my blond moment for this week because I was in a rush to get out the door, almost forgot the card so I quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into an envelope and completely FORGOT TO SIGN IT!!!! What an idiot I am. So we all laughed it off, thank goodness.

So that's it for now, I hope to be back more this week with some great stuff now that I have my room back. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!!!! (said with my best "closing the rock show" voice...haha)

My Little Actress!

Seriously, this girl should be a model or something! She will take any chance to take a picture and will pose forever...in fact all day if I let her! Anyway I altered these pictures a bit and did a contrast of Black & White and color layered together. All the paper is My Minds Eye. The edges of the paper and photos is actually brushed with metallic gold acrylic paints to match the chipboard flourish that is also painted the same. (the chipboard piece came from the Dollar store here and has no company named on it...weird)

I was on a roll with layouts so I do have at least one more to share with you in a few days.

Have a great Day!!

New Border Punch

I got a new border punch from Martha Stewart, I LOVE the things you can do ith it. I did this one to look like lace! The sentiments is cut out from a Cuttlebug Alphabet and of course some more My Minds Eye Paper!

Hi

I LOVE playing around with the My Minds Eye papers!! This card has a paper background and then the pattern strips are the tres Jolie cardstock sticker borders. Love them too!

The letters on here are from Amy Butlers Line of Flocked Alphabet diecut stickers from K&Company.

Have a great day!!

Another Layout!

This is McKayla, my oldest Daughter (4). I was taking pictures of the Lillie's in our yard and she just HAD to get in the picture. I shared these photos a while back but had to share the page I made with them.
The quote card says "Cherish forever what makes you unique" and that she is indeed!

Have a great day thanks for popping in. I have another Layout for you later, but tomorrow I have some of my friends weding pictures to share, You HAVE to see them!.

Masculine Birthday Card

Just a short note to go with this one. The stunning paper is from MME!! Have I ever mentioned how much I love that paper? Well I do! A Lot! and I have hoarding issues with it and basic Grey in particular.

Anywho, The little metal arrow on a brad fasteners was actually from a dollar store. Our dollar store is mostly crap but from time to time they have one or two good things. That is it that is all...Oh and Hey Y'all....PTI Countdown starts today, why not check it out over at Nichole's Blog!!

Get Well Soon with MME

This card is my new Favorite. I am head over heals with all the MME papers and really like how well the coordinate together.

I inked up the edges of the papers and set them up with dimensional stickers.

The sentiment is from the Garden of Life PTI set, The flower under it and the border around is from the set Boxes, Bags & Tags.


Another new favorite thing I have been doing lately is lining the insides with more then just blank white paper. It is a fabulous way to use up extra scraps of the same paper and makes the card feel finished!

Well have a great day, Folks! Don't forget to check back here tomorrow for round 2 of the Loonie Stamper's Challenge (LSC). I will also have links to my Fav Canadian Girls that make up the LSC!!

A Little of This...

...and a little of that! That is basically what is in this card. I started on a textured brown card stock (kind of looks like black but it is a chocolate browm...mmmmmmmmm chocolate like Big Turk...lol)

On the next layer I used certainly celery followed by the best white paper ever. PTI's Stamper's Select. Then I used some card stock sticker borders from My Minds Eye Tres Jolie Line (Thanks Bev!!!)

Then I stamped the thanks in chocolate chip (mmm I think I have some of those in the freezer). After all was said and done I still thought it needed more, so I added a few buttons from Basic Grey. I attached to my card using dimensional stickers.

On the inside I did a simple polka dot band down the side and then lined it with a piece of the card stock sticker. Most people throw this part out but I save them just for this. It is actually the thin strip in between the main stickers on the sheet.

SO that is all for crafty for the day I just wanted to mention I should have some great non stamping related posts soon after our Canada Day Celebrations. We are having a BBQ with a total of 9 kids and 8 adults and I am sure we will end up with some great shots since one of guests is our own personal photographer. He really has taken some stunning photos...(Hi Justin!!!) To all my fellow Canadians...Happy Canada Day Eh!!!
