Friendship

Good Saturday Morning!

On Wednesday evening I went down to the basement to escape the heat in the house.

Well that's not exactly true.

I just wanted to stamp....but it was hot out ;)

Splitcoast had the weekly sketch posted and it had a large image panel which was perfect for one of my favorite tree images.

I stamped the tree from Season of Friendship in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive. I then stamped and cut out some flowers with bashful blue.

This is a SU! only card.

Stamps: Season of Friendship; Cardstock: White, Old Olive, Maine Blueberry DSP; Inks: Choc Chip, Bashful Blue, Old Olive; Accessories: SU edge punch, Button, Dimensionals, Sewing machine

Come on Summer

While most of you are enjoying beautiful summer weather we are stuck with wet soggy-crummy-spring like weather still :(

I think I've put shorts on ONCE.

Geez my furnace still comes on every now and then at night...sad eh?!

It's been a little while since I last made a SU! only card and thought it was long overdue.

Stamps: Branch Out; Cardstock: White, Tangerine Tango, Haiku DP(retired); Inks: Choc Chip, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, More Mustard; Accessories: Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Dimensionals

As you can see I kept it very simple as are most of my SU cards. There is something about them that doesn't require too much of anything, kwim?

I stamped the leaves in Old Olive and then stamped again to give it more depth.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dance Sing Live

Yesterday I received my Verve order in the mail.....yippee!

I couldn't wait to play with all the new-to-me stamps and dies!

I decided to take a peek at the SCS sketch. Figured I could make it work :)

The stamp set is called Beautiful You. Love the sentiments in the set!!!

The tag was created with the Sweet Scallop Die.

Stamps: Beautiful You; Cardstock: White, Kraft, MME Lime Twist DP; Inks: Black; Accessories: Sweet Scallop Die, Rhinestone Swirl, Ribbon, Twine, Martha Butterfly Punch, Sewing, Dimensionals

Let's Chat

Hello!

Wow did I have a busy weekend! The weather wasn't as nice as I had hoped. We had wicked winds which made it less than perfect for sitting outside. Hopefully next weekend we will have gorgeous weather!

Yesterday I stamped a little bit.

Getting ready for the week ;)

I finally had a chance to ink up this sweet PI called Color My World (looks like it's out of stock currently) from MFT.

I paired her up with some fun new MME dp from the Lime Twist Collection. The layout came from last weeks SCS sketch.

My second card was a quick CAS card for the Featured Stamper on SCS.

As soon as I saw the fun designer papers I knew I wanted to use the Say What? Stamp set and Die from MFT.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dude You're So Cool

A couple of days ago the new My Mind's Eye Lime Twist papers arrived in my mailbox!

I am loving them! So fun!

Chloe will be needing a birthday card for a friend soon and thought these papers would be okay for an 11 year old??

I used the SCS sketch #332 for my layout.

Stamps are from Verve and I used two sets.

Dude and Happy Days.

Pretty simple card and the only embellishing was the stitching.

Stamps: Dude, Happy Days; Cardstock: Kraft, Vanilla, MME Lime Twist-Fly a Kite DP; Inks: Bermuda Bay, Certainly Celery, Tangerine Tango; Accessories: Sewing Machine, Dimensionals

Thank You

Happy Friday!!!

I've been gone all week so I'm going to have some catching up to do with everyone.

Thank you for stopping by this week and leaving me sweet comments! I really enjoyed reading them all :)

Here's another card that Sandy and I created using the Free For All Challenge last week for the Home Sweet Home theme. The layout came from that weeks SCS sketch as well.

I love this Taylored Expressions stamp set Branching Out.

ETA: Today Taylor announced that I will be joining the TE Sketch Crew on April 22nd! Can't wait! I'm looking forward to seeing all the fabulous sketches Taylor creates and sharing my creativity and inspiration with you!

You can find all the TE sketches and info on SCS in the TE Forum.

Have a GREAT weekend!!

Great Friend SC324

Hello!

I was excited to get my order with the new copic colours tonight and couldn't wait to create.

Funny thing is....I didn't even use them....lol

Took a peek at what the sketch was on SCS and it was a fairly simple card that took only a few minutes to make.

Went monochromatic using shades of blue from the MME Stella & Rose - Hattie Collection.

Stamp set is from Verve and is called Great Friend. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this set! You can colour or paper piece....fun!

Stamps: Great Friend; Cardstock: Vanilla, Blue Bayou, MME DP; Inks: Black; Accessories: Buttons, Twine, Dimensionals

You're On My Mind SC323

Last night I wasn't really in the mood to stamp as I had a long day visiting one of my out of town stores but it has been a few days and well....stamping is relaxing! LOL!

Checked what the SCS sketch was and it was a pretty simple one. I knew I could crank out a card in about 20 minutes so I got down to business.

This was the final result.

Stamps: Blooming Button Bits(PTI), Cardstock: Red, Kraft(PTI), MME Stella and Rose Gertie DP; Inks: Old Olive, Black; Accessories: Flower Dies(PTI), Red Rhinestones, Lemon Tart Button(PTI), Twine(PTI), Dimensionals

Up, Up and Away SC320

A couple of days ago my huge MFT order arrived! This time Canada customs only held it for a couple of weeks....lol~ Yeah!

I took a look at the SCS Sketch #320 and decided I could do something with it.

Not a lot of stamping but some fun new die-namics!

Here I've used the Die-namics Flat Bottom Clouds, Die-namics Fly a Kite and the Great Outdoors stamp set(currently out of stock...sorry). All paper is from the My Mind's Eye True Blue line.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!

This Way To Love

Happy Thursday!

It's ALMOST Friday! Whew!

It's been a busy week for me and I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Last night was the first time I've stamped since last weekend and it was nice to get down there creating.

I pulled up the SC317 from SCS and got to work.

These fun Bo Bunny Designer Papers will soon be used up and it's a good thing since Valentine's Day is fast approaching!

This is an older Taylored Expressions set. Can't recall the name right now....sorry!

Thanks for popping by today!

I'm Love Sick

Good Morning!

Thank goodness it's FRIDAY!

Whew!

I can tell this is going to be a LONG day already though. I was awake at 4:50 am.....40 minutes before my alarm...bummer~!

Here is another card I made with the SCS sketch on Wednesday night.

I've only used this PI Best Medicine once before(I think).

She's a cutie!

Of course I used more of this pretty Bo Bunny Valentine paper too!

Simple card...

Can you believe it's only Thursday?

Seriously, this week is draggin' too!

I can't wait for Friday at 5 pm! ha!

Last night I was able to head downstairs and do some stamping. I made FOUR cards for the SCS sketch #316.

I'll show you one today ;)

This one uses one of my all time favourite sets from SU! called Branch Out. The sentiment comes from Trendy Trees.

One more sleep until Christmas!

Today we are just lounging around the house playing games and maybe a little stamping.

We are having spiral honey ham for dinner tonight...YUM!

Yesterday before I started cleaning the house I decided I'd do a little crafting...fun times!

Thursday's Ways to Use It Challenge was about popping it up. I also used Wednesday's sketch 312.

This is a Stampin' Up Only card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy your Christmas Eve!

Snow Day SC310

Last night I hadn't planned on stamping as I have enough to get done around the house....like address my Christmas cards ;)

That's how it began....

Went to the basement to gather some cards and envelopes and the next thing I knew....

I was crafting! That's my story ;)

This was for yesterday's SC310 on SCS.

Snow Day is such an adorable image from MFT!! I used some unusual papers for my card but I think it turned out fun!!

Chill Out!

The Splitcoast sketch #309 yesterday was perfect for me to ink up my new MFT Snow Angel image. She's sweet, isn't she? I really like these patterns and colours in the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather paper pack. The blue and red is a nice combo!

I added some little red pearls to her hat and some dazzling diamonds to all the snow.

Puddle Jumpers Emma

Here's another new stamp that came last week. It's called Puddle Jumpers Emma and I ordered it from All That Scraps. I used some fun and bright papers for this one! The layout comes from last week's SCS sketch 308.

Isn't she a cutie?!

Funny Bunny SC308

Earlier this week I received a few packages that contained some new stamps! Yeah for new stamps, right?

This one is from The Cat's Pajama's that I ordered from All That Scraps. It's called Deep Breath.

I stamped him on white cardstock and coloured with copics to match my Aqua Mist and Lavender Lace cardstock. I found a piece of Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather designer paper that went well with it. It looks a little more green in the picture....not sure why...lol

The sketch comes from Wednesday's SCS SC308.

It's FRIDAY! I'm looking forward to the weekend!! Thanks for stopping by today!

Making a List

Happy Friday!
Today we are heading back to Edmonton to finish up our move. I can't wait until it's all finished and we have our weekends back :)
This is the second card I made using the SCS sketch the other day.
My last MFT package had this adorable PI girl called Making a List. The papers are from October Afternoon's Seaside Collection.

One Person SC301

Ohhhhhhh how good it was to sit at my stamp table last night! It's been far too long!!

I decided to ease back into stamping by using the SC301 sketch and one of my favourite Verve sets called One Person.

This October Afternoon Seaside designer paper is some that I picked up last weekend in Calgary. There are some really pretty patterns in the paper pad :)

I was in a rush to get a photo before the Oiler game started so the stickles hadn't dried yet...lol

Thanks for looking! Have a GREAT day!
