Catchin' up on some digiscrappin'!

2008-09-28T21:23:00.005-06:00

So every year, I now digiscrap not only for myself, but for my grandmas and parents. I love to digiscrap because it is fun (I think) and this way I can print multiple copies for everyone.

Here is a couple pages showing some fun things we did this past summer..

Everything I used is from Atomic Cupcake .com using their fruity falooty kit! So cute and summery!

Have a good week!

Whew...

2008-09-26T17:31:00.002-06:00

I haven't posted this week, because I haven't stamped anything new. I've been mass producing the cards I just showed you! Button Crazy!!! Love it!

I did make something new today:

I bought this set off Ebay probably 2 years ago. I just love it! I used Kraft and Red cardstock from su, adirondack espresso ink and papertrey vintage cream cardstock. I used my copics to color them in.

I added some buttons from my local dollar store. I just can't get enough of them!

Sorry, the lighting is kinda funny, It's quite charming in real life! (I think)

Have a good weekend!

I still love buttons

2008-09-21T08:21:00.004-06:00

Here are some other versions...

Navy and Silver

Red and Vanilla

Ok I'll stop now, but my Christmas Bazaar stash is filling up!

I LOVE buttons!!

2008-09-19T16:45:00.002-06:00

I can't help it~It's one of those things. I just love them, and have a hard time parting with them. But, I found a TON at my local dollar store and couldn't resist. I saw this card by Lauren Meader, and I had to case!

Here's a close up:

I used a way old retired SU stamp set, and a few other SU sets, but I stole them out of my Mom's stamps. Literally right out of the box, so I'm not sure where they belong. I will get into trouble for sure!

Hope you all have a stamping filled weekend! I hope to!

Slaton's Birthday Invites

Lynne's Tin

2008-09-15T18:02:00.005-06:00

So, in May, my Mother and Father in law had a fire in their house. They lost pretty much everything. Including a stash of cards I made her. I made her this tin to fill up and organize her cards. (and people's birthdays and anniversarys!) so..here it is!

I used a tin I bought from Eclectic Paperie (back when they still shipped to Canada) and retired Stampin up Paper. I downloaded a template from SCS to cut out the little notch. Who doesn't love SCS!!

Here's whats inside:

I used co-ordinating Blue Bayou paper to make dividers for each month. I also printed out a little desktop-type calendar so that she could write everyone's birthdays and events on each divider. Organization at it's best! :)

We're off to Brownies! Here's my proud little Brownie! Did you know they don't wear Brown dresses anymore?!

Happy Monday!

Anyways, I wanted to make some Halloween cards. It seems I only have 1 Halloween Stamp set and my Mom I think only has 1 too.

I actually airbrushed the edges around the image with N7. I stole some of Brooklyn's Halloween ribbon from Michaels. I have a friend that wants me to send her a halloween card, so I think this one might be for her *wink*

I Digi-Scrapped!

2008-08-13T08:19:00.003-06:00

Holy Smolly! It's been almost a year since I digiscrapped! I need to play catch up, so I can add to my Grandma's album this christmas! That's exactly why I love digiscrapping. I can now print 2 copies for both my grandmas! Pretty effortless, while I lay on the couch digiscrapping and watching a movie. Love that!

Anyways, this page is pretty basic, since I need to get my groove on again...

Recipe~Paper and accent was a freebie download by Ronna Farrer from 2 peas in a bucket.

~Picture frame is by Katie Pertiet from Designer Digitals.

~Font and drop shadows are from Photoshop Elements 5.0

Have a great Wednesday!

Another pretty card

2008-08-12T07:06:00.005-06:00

Totally NOT like me...

2008-08-09T19:46:00.004-06:00

I needed to step out of my comfort "kid card" zone and make some pretty adult friendly cards...

We finally got the "Bloomin' Beautiful" hostess set, and looky that-It's in the new catalog!

Anyways here's something a little different from me--Different colors, different style, everything.

I read on someone's blog today that you should sponge-for depth and warmth-so I kept that in mind...I knew I wanted a crack at this image with my Copics, and wanted to go with colors other than pink or blue...

And Here's my Card:

So I stamped it with Adirondack Pitch Black (just in case the glue pen made the ink run-it didn't)

Then I put a generous layer of SU 2 way glue pen and sprinkled on the fun flock then shook off the excess (after I pressed it down a little) after each color.

So this is what I looks like-I did the pink color last.

And here's what it looks like all shook off and up close...

It doesn't look that splotchy in real life. Especially after the glue dried~Everyone loves to touch it!

Recipe: Stamps: Friendship blooms

Paper: tempting turquoise, pixie pink, certainly celery, whisper white

Shower Presents for the Twins and Mommy

2008-05-02T15:45:00.006-06:00

So here are their name frames. I decided to make them matching. They are fraternal twins, and I'm sure they will have a lot of matching stuff, so why not matching name frames for their rooms?

This one is Amanda's....Next time I will take the glass OUT before I take the pictures!

And this one is for Samantha! I left the little tag blank for all the birth deets. I wanted these to be a surprise, so I didn't try to dig for the details.. I will let Christine fill them out later...

Here's Mommy's present~10 thank you card with envelopes to give out...

And here is Mommy's card...I used the Baby Plate Stamps from Pink Cat Studio~They are available at our store.

I also used the 5/8" Pink Polka Dot ribbon that is availabe at our store.

The base is pretty in pink, and the background paper I made with all the little stamps from the Baby Plate set. I stamped them in pretty much all the colors from suft subtles.

I colored the bears in with my copics (which we will be carrying soon) but first I stamped them with Adirondack Expresso Ink...

I can't wait to squeeze them tomorrow~Have a great weekend..I will be getting things ready for our big STAMPENDOUS order coming!!! Woot Woot!!!! Think Fun Flock, Pails and Stamps!!

2008-04-30T20:50:00.005-06:00

My highschool friend and twin baby girls last month. Her baby shower is this weekend, here are the card I made for the girls. I will be making name frames for their rooms tomorrow...

The lighting is a little off, it was starting to get dark when I took the pictures. I was inspired by a card posted today on SCS, but I can't seem to access their site to find the link. Sorry!

Recipe~Stamps: A new little someone, Cause for celebration

Paper: Whisper white, Pretty in pink, Perfect plum, su ret designer paper (yes I still have some)

Ink: Adirondack pitch black, copics

Accessories: su circle punches, su scallop punch, pink taffeta ribbon

So since we are expecting a few more babies around here, I decided to make a few more versions.....

Colors: Certainly celery, So saffron

Hopefully tomorrow I will make those name frames and post them in the next few days....

Have a good one!

Cowboy Billy

2008-04-23T21:36:00.015-06:00

Here is another Billy~Cowboy Billy~I just love him and Lily. Pink Cat Studio is seriously my new fave!

I just wanted to show you how my images look after I colored them with my copics.

The two brown colors I used are quite different in color, so the more you color and color AND Color, the more they blend. AND if the backside doesn't look like this~chances are you haven't blended and colored enough.

I took my lighter color of brown, rubbed the tip on the darker colored copic and kept blending. Totally cool! Practice truly make perfect and I am far from perfect, but learning~Thank god! I paid a fortune for them!

You need an ink that won't run or smear. I use Adirondack~Works perfectly AND you need Papertrey white cardstock. It won't EVER pill. All that blending I did and it still didn't pill!

Recipe~Stamps: Billy-Pink Cat Studio

Paper: Brocade Blue, Close to Cocoa, Papertrey white, SU ret designer paper

Ink: Adirondack Espresso, close to cocoa

Accessories: Copics, Hemp, Su Oval punches, sponging with close to cocoa, dimensionals
