You're a Hoot!

This is for LSC148 at Splitcoast. I didn't think I was going to be able to follow the rules, but I did! You can find the challenge and play along here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=310003&page=4

This is what you could use:

Stamps
one stamped image that can be colored
optional: sentiment
optional: an image to ground the main image like an oval, grass, etc.

Paper
any shade of white
2-3 patterns of designer paper
NO other colored cardstock

Tools
NO specialty tools (No punches, No CB, No Piercer, etc)
any coloring tools
sponges OK

Embellishments
one piece of ribbon

I used:

Stamps: Ollie and Olivia

Paper: WHITE and DCWV Retro Mat stack

Ink: Prismacolor Markers

Accessories: One piece of ribbon

The scanner killed my ribbon, I swear it's straight and a cute little bow.

How'd I do?

Thanks for looking!!

For the Sunday Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoast

I've had this set for a while and it had never even been mounted, so I figured that was as good an excuse as any to case this card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...p;ppuser=54696

I think it's time to change the water in these flowers! I know this looks easy and probably is, but I had to recolor this vase like 12 times, it kept bleeding, so I gave up and used colored pencils, but then the color wasn't right so I went over it with the blender pen and mellow moss. It does match better IRL now, but not in the photo. It needs something on the right, but I'll have to think about it.

Stamps: Vases in Vogue

Paper: Mellow Moss. white, and MME

Ink: Bravo Borgundy, Mellow Moss, Stardust

Accessories: Organdy Polka Dot Ribbon

Stampin' Up sent this set to all the demonstrators about a month ago. I was unsure about it, lacking creativity, but there sure have been some beautiful cards made with it on Splitcoast. I made this for today's featured stamper challenge found here. She sure has a beautiful gallery, if you get time check it out and participate. She used a build a brad from Stampin' Up, they are awesome and I must get some. You can use your own stamps or DP to make brads, how cool is that! The idea is to "case" the featured stamper making at least two changes.

I changed the colors, paper and ribbon because I didn't have them, Unfortunately, I don't have any build a brads either so I used a different designer brad. Instead of a regular square I used the nestabilities scalloped square (on loan from Mom). I colored this with my new Copic Spica Glitter Pens that I got for Christmas and cut the little tiny flowers out of the DP and added them over the existing flowers.

Stamps: Time Well Spent

Paper: Purely Pomegranate and Designer Series

Ink: Copic Spica Glitter Pen Red

Accessories: We R Memory Keepers Designer Brad, Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon

This was very easy to do and the outcome is a beautiful card, at least I think so!

Thanks for stopping by! Deb

Twinkling H2o's...Need some Practice!

Playing with Mom's Nestabilities and my new stamping stuff. This stamp and the Twinkling H2o's were part of my Christmas presents. Isn't it just the cutest? I love Penny Black! The twinkling H2o's are great I'm sure, but I am having a heck of a time with them, I think it's the paper, but I also tried watercolor paper and that was worse I had it all over the place! I'm sure once I find the right paper they won't be so bad. What do you think? Stamps: Penny Black, You're a Treasure, Sweet Thing

Paper: Purely Pomegranate, Glorious Green and white

Ink: Twinkling H2o's Garnet an prismacolor Pencils

Accessories: Cuttlebug and Nestabilities

Thanks for stopping by!

Chill!

Cameron wanted to make cards for each other. He wanted us both to use his stamps and he picked out which ones. He didn't want me to upload his. This is the smallest card I ever made. It is colored with Copic Spica Glitter Pens, they are really cool! It might be funny looking, but it earned me a great BIG hug, so it was worth it!! TFL!

I checked our the ebay store---there sure are a lot of stamp sets---one of my favorite Christmas sets (Nature's Christmas) is there---I spent a lot of time getting mine on ebay---when I could have spent the same price at your sister's store. Will check it out first next time.
I went to Penny Black site---I have some of their stickers that I used to make Christmas cards this year.

Please provide me with your address to claim your prize and thanks to everyone for playing!

I was unable to use a random generator because some of you earned extra entries, so I wrote your names on pieces of paper, one for each entry and had my son draw one. He says Congratulations Linda!!!

Happy Stamping!!!!

I know, I know...another Bella!

This is one of the Bella's that I got recently. I originally purchased several as Christmas presents, but I only parted with two and that's only because they were for my mother. I really would have liked to keep them too, but I felt really guilty! I LOVE Bella's!! They are so adorable, it's easy to make a cute card quick. This is definitely one of my favorites. I need a "purr-fect friend sentiment so I can make a set! Off to search, If you know where I can find one, please let me know!

My scanner needs to be cleaned, all my scans have these little imperfections there must be something on there. I saw the coolest photo box on someone's blog, but I can't remember where. The photos come out so perfect!!

Christmas card from my Mom!

Here's Cameron's card from Gramma, I told you it was cute!! I love that they all matched by 1234567890amily. She sure made a lot more cards than I did!! These cute stamps were purchased from Lil Deb's Stamp and Scrap Station!


Isn't this just the cutest card! My Mom made it for us! I just love the cuddling penguins and the glitter. She put a lot of thought and time in to these making a different set for everyone in the family. Cameron got a little penguin card too, which I will post later. Bags got switched and we got the wrong one, so it's not here right now.

TFL!

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged by Lynn, now I'm supposed to list 7 things about myself and then tag some more people. Hmmmm, what to say, I'm pretty boring!

1) I live in Cassville, NY with my husband (Jim) and our 7 year-old son (Cameron). We have two dogs, Max and Luke. Max is a mix breed and Luke is a black Lab.

2) I am a middle child, there were 6 of us! I have 3 brothers and two sisters. My mother must be crazy!! I only have the one and I can't even imagine what it must have been like. Thanks for everything Mom, love ya!

3) I never ate much chocolate until the last couple of years and now I can't get enough of it! It doesn't matter what kind it is, but Dove milk chocolate and anything with toffee are my absolute favorites!

4) I started out as a scrap booker after my sister-in-law introduced us to Creative Memories, but then I went to a Stampin' Up party and I haven't done much scrap booking since. I am about 3 years behind and I really need to start catching up, there just isn't enough time in a day! I became a Stampin' Up demonstrator so I could feed my habits and would love to be more active as a demonstrator, but again the time thing!

5) I'm not a morning person either, but just can't stomach coffee! I used to start out the day with a diet Pepsi, but recently gave it up because of the Aspartame. I have had a headache every day since I stopped drinking it (ugh!), but I do feel better!

6) Lynn said, "I love the smell of cleaning products, especially toilet bowl cleaner (I know that's totally weird) and you would think that this would motivate me to do more cleaning, ya no. (hmm cleaning or stamping and blog surfing)." I say. "Not weird at all! I love the smell of bleach, especially on sheets and furniture polish, but I must confess I'd rather be stamping or on SCS too and therefore, don't smell the furniture polish very often. Being that I'm not a morning person, I love to clean late at night or when I get upset. My husband hates it when I get cleaning at night and no one has really gotten me frustrated recently, so my house is a mess (LOL!)."

7) I love to buy stamps and ribbon, but especially embellishments and Designer paper (that's my real addiction, shopping for supplies)! Then I hoard it because if I use it, I won't have it anymore. I also have binders full of stickers and sticker letters, that I have no idea why I bought, but I had to have them!!

Now for the hard part, I have to tag others. I only know a couple of blogger's so I had to pick some from the blogs that I like to visit, hope you don't mind!

Jan: She's gone Stampin'
