My First Swap (Another Sneak Peek!)

Today has been wonderful! I cleaned and purged my crafting area, streamlining it so I can be more organized and inspired to create! I am so thrilled with how the room turned out. I have an old dresser from when I was little and I took the mirror off of it and turned it into a long work area with drawers! The best thing is my Big Shot and my Circle Scissors Plus are now out all the time, ready to be used. They just sit on the top of the dresser, all pretty and tidy looking and I get to play!! I joined a card swap with some other Canadian SU! demos. We had to use new stamps from the Summer Mini coming out and I decided to use my "Sweet Scoops" set. This cute little set is so much fun to stamp with, I loved using my Stamp-A-Majig to line up the ice cream tops. The cones are stamped in So Saffron and the ice cream is either Only Orange or Tempting Turquoise. I used my 2-way glue pen to add some Dazzling Diamonds to the ice cream...oh it is SO pretty!!! I also embossed each white panel with my Texturz Plates. The best thing about the Texturz Plates is they emboss softly and so when you stamp a sentiment, the sentiment doesn't look warped! I love it!!

What colour do you like the best? Only Orange or Tempting Tuquoise? I am torn but I do LOVE orange...it is my favourite colour!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Back to Blogging

The past couple of weeks have been hectic with work, life and everything in between! One of the gals in my club, emailed me wondering if I was alright!!! She hadn't seen any fresh eye candy on the blog for a while! It was so sweet of her to email and to check up on me!! Thanks Trudy!

So I wanted to share my Stamper's 6 Club Project from last night. We had fun, using Mr. Big aka 'The Big Shot" and the Daisies#2 Die. I wanted to create a project to teach my club how to make an Easel Card. We also made a cute little treat holder called the "Diaper Fold Pouch". We filled up the little baggies in the pouch with some mini eggs. Yum!The inside of the card was stamped with the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the "Well Scripted" Set. I used the "For You" stamp from the Vintage Labels. I used the Scallop Trim Punch (FREE in the Sale-A-Bration Cattie) and some of that pretty "Sweet Pea" Designer Paper!
Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions please email me!

Mojo#123 and Curtain Call Colour Challenge Act 14

Wow! I love challenges! I looked at Stacey's Curtain Call Colour Challenge and thought, what will I do with those colours? I used my Stampin' Write Markers in Orchid Opulence and Almost Amethyst and coloured right onto the flower stamp from the Thoughts and Prayers Set. Now I really like this colour combo and would have never attempted it myself!I used the sentiment from the Thoughts and Prayers set as well and inked it up in Orchid Opulence. The flowers that are popped up are from my Boho Blossoms Punch and I used the end of a pencil eraser to make them rounded and look like they are blooming. I also used the new Border Punch that I received for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. The sketch is the current Mojo Challenge to make a square or circle card. My card measures 41/4" Square. I also embossed the side panel with my Perfect Details texture plate. The ribbon is 1/4" white grosgrain. I used some little sticky gems in the centre of my flowers. I stamped the inside with the same flower and a pretty sentiment from the same set.

Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!

MTSC57-New SU! Items

My shipment of new SU! stuff came in today and after I put everything all together, stamps, took wrapping off packages, and so on...I NEEDED to stamp. LOL! The Sale-A-Bration Set called "Happy Moments" was calling my name...actually as soon as I saw this set, I knew I wanted it. I love the pretty flowers and really the entire set is so sweet! I also love the "Whimsical Words" set and inked it up today too!My sketch came from Mercy Kerin's Sketch Challenge. I inked up those sweet little flowers from the "Happy Moments" set and coloured them with my ink pads and Blender Pens. I love the look of this kind of colouring and am still learning how to make it look watercoloured. I used Regal Rose, Old Olive and Going Gray (to outline the images).The sentiment is from "Whimsical Words" and I punched it out with the Wide Oval Punch (112082) and nested it in the Lots of Tags die (114508) which I used on my Big Shot. The DSP is from the newest paper pad (117161) in the Occasions Mini and the ribbon is Pretty in Pink in 1/4" grosgrain (109032). Have you seen the Sweet Pea Paper Pack (117161) in the mini? Wow! It is stunning and I am so excited to do some scrapbooking with it. There are 48 Sheets of paper in this pack! There are 24 designs in this pack! I embossed the white base of the card with the Perfect Details Texture Plate (115962) and my Big Shot. I almost forgot! I used the new Scallop Trim Edging Punch on this card! You can get this Punch for FREE with a $65 SU! purchase. It is in the Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalogue! It was easy to use!
