Ready For Vacation?

Well I certainly am after all the snow that we've been getting lately........I'm running outta room to put it as well as everyone else here on the Kenai Peninsula!  LOL  Saturday had been non-stop with that fluffy white snow coming down!


This week at Come and Get It Challenges we are having a "VACATION" ..........well not literally just the theme for your projects, scrap pages or cards.

So on to my card that I created, the background designer paper is Asian specialty paper that I had stashed.  The focal stamps were new that I never used.  For the Tag I used a SU punch and cut apart a sentiment and attached.

A lot of masking was done on the scene for my card. First I masked the man, then the larger foliage around the man then lastly I stamped the background.

Oh to be in the South Seas area with a hunk playing music would make Great Memories........LOL  Hope you enjoy the card today for the challenge won't you come join us and check out what the other Design Team Members fabulous creations are too!

Black & White Photo Wallet

I was surfing the web the other day and came across this Photo Wallet that someone did and I really liked it but, it had no instructions for making one..........well I spend a few more days on my search, finally came across more videos with the wallets

Low and behold my searching paid off after several videos later on You Tube......Stamping Holly has the instructions!!

Believe it or not, it's made with one 12 x 12 sheet of designer paper SU flower punch to make the tabs on the inserts.........which by the way has a total of (8) usable pockets.  I think I should give a class on this .......what do ya think?  LOL

Thanks for stopping in!

Art Tags

Hello, I've busy making some fun Art Tags, some of these are for a swap going on one of my yahoo groups.  The light blue seaside tag is from a old, old retired SU set that I got at a co-op store in Anchorage.........it doesn't even have a year on it.  I stamped the image on the tag with staz-on, stippled on some SU Marina Mist, brushed on some PPA (perfect paper adhesive)  layered it with a napkin..........and scrunched it a bit and sprinkled some crystal effectz glitter for sparkle and let it dry.  Lastly going over the tag one more time with PPA to finish it off! The darker blue Tag I clear embossed it, went over with SU Pacific Point ink, sprayed it with Radiant Rains for some added sparkly glimmer then topped it off with some buttons. The red Tag was done the same way using a napkin but I painted it red first and let it dry before putting the stamped Tilda and then I brushed on a layer of PPA.  Yes it works with Copic Markers......no bleeding of colors or anything! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity-Tilda

OMG Isn't she just so cute!!!  I am reusing the punch out nestie from the LCG card (last post) and was having so much fun with this card........she is just the picture perfect of a princess and so adorable!  Stamps: (SU, Magnolia) Papers: (SU, Unknown clear)

Thanks for stopping by!

Edwin on a Trek

Took the time to finish up a card today........I had to take a much needed break after doing some more re-organizing of my craft room for that past week now, I actually got to see the wood grain of my 8 ft table that I work on ......LOL   I now have a new 74inch by 48inch shelving unit with 5 shelves!  Yea!!  Doesn't it look like Edwin is having fun on biking trek, I for one would love to be in a warm climate with temperatures anywhere above the 20 degrees that we have been having the last couple weeks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace, Love & Joy

Another Christmas card done!  Tho I did have this one in mind for a couple Challenges, mostly using the sketch over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers and I have to tell ya I turned it a bit to work for my card as you can see below......I've added the sketch.  Do you recognize the tree behind Tilda...yes it's from SU "Solumn Stillness" tho it's retired anyway I stamped it in green then stamped with versa-mark on top of the tree & embossed with gold all done on a die-cut "Top Note" well since she's opening a present I figure she needed a tree......LOL  Other challenges I entered this card for is Alota Rubber Stamps
Creative Inspirations

MSL Sketch

Thanks for stoppin by!

Broom Tilda

Here's wishing you all a Happy Halloween with all the eerie screaming ghouls that may come in visit in the night!  
I've kind of lost my mojo for crafting lately, I had colored this image a couple weeks ago but didn't do any thing with it so I was cruising blogs this morning and got inspired to finish it and make a card......You can't tell from the scan but I put sparkles on the spider webs and the  pumpkin.

This card is for these challenges:

*Purple & Black Challenge

*Challenge 54
*Crafty Catz
*Penny's Challenge 41

 

I went to a Make it-Take it yesterday at our local Scrapaholic's store.....every Wednesday they have make it-take its and we made this box with 4 drawers, where you untie the bow it opens to a sentiment inside of the card.

It was really fun making this as I just love the Magnolia stamps and she's one that I don't have yet!! LOL

Blowing Kisses Decorative Edge

Here's the final card that I did for a yahoo group swap ......tho I didn't hear back if it arrived, so I'm assuming that it was received. I just hate it when you don't get a reply of any kind saying that they have your art work in their hot little hands! This swap you were to use the Scor-Pal to make decorative edges, well let me tell you it looks easier than done........LOL Sorry but I'm just a little sour at times when peeps don't acknowledge that you sent something to them in the mail, guess my mother taught me better....LOL

Here's a Sneak Peek ..........

At some of the other cards that I've been working on for swaps on one of my Yahoo Groups, I used an array of stamps for these beauties

Keep posted for the up coming full sized cards, as these went out in the mail today winging their way to some lucky ladies! See you when my muse takes over again......LOL
