Stamp Time Somewhere

MDS Blog Hop - What I'm working on June - Just Married

 Welcome to our mid-month, "What are you working on? " MDS Blog Hop! I am always so excited to share with you the team's projects that we create in MDS! I love the mid-month theme, because we get to see so much personlity from the team.

 I created this project last week for another challenge, but I love how it turned out and I really wanted to share it with y'all!

There was a cool sketch and the challenge to use an ombre technique. I LOVE ombre and have used it multiple times. I really love how it helped bring additional "grounding" to this layout. Thanks for the challenge Cindy!

Now, my hubby and I have been married almost 11 years, but this was taken on our 10th Anniversary. We decided to reaffirm our vows. After 10 years, we realized that all the things that seemed so imprtant had changed. It wasn't about the location, or the dress, or the food, or the music, or even who was there. So this time it was just US, and the man that married us the first time. (And my bro and sis in law who came to take the pictures, because let's face it - THAT still matters - LOL) The vows had a completely different meaning this time. We'd gone through "the good times and bad, the sickness and health" and had a real appreciation for them.

I really am looking forward to seeing what the rest of the team has created for you this week! Hop on through and make sure you let them know what you think. Have a great day and see ya back soon!

Ok, head on over to my talented friend Julie Davidse - she always wows me!

 

Hope you have a great day!!!

Artisan Wednesday Wow - Hello Darling, Sorry You're Sick

 

Hi there!!! Welcome back!!!

It’s so fun to have a brand new catalog to inspire us. I created this fun little ensemble of projects to bring a smile to a sick friend. I used the Fabulous Four Stamp Set to cover a can of chicken soup and make a little gift of tissues plus a bag of cough drops. It looks great paired with the pretty flowers from Hello Darling and the fancy Gold Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Would you like to see it all in a little more detail?

Of course a can of chicken soup isn't quite like home made, but it is the thought, right? I love those scallops!

Of course you always hope that the one who is sick really does get better quickly and won't need more than this small pack of tissues :)

This canvas bag of cough drops might be my fave part! I LOVE the gold sequins on the bag! I just attached them with the mini brads! SOOOO fun!

The rest of the team created amazing projects for you this week, make sure to check them all out and leave some love.

 Head on over to Jennifer's blog. I love some of the beautiful and clean ideas she comes up with and I know you will too.

 

 

Hope you have a great day!!!

I love Ombre - a little MDS fun

 Hi there!

 How did your Monday go? Mine was pretty easy, even though my physical therapy session was a little rough, the day was GOOD!

 One of my favorite pages I ever created was 2 years ago. I made it in MDS. There was this new trend I kept seeing - Ombre. I wanted to play with it in MDS. I loved how it turned out. But then again, with the blue eyes on the page, not sure if people really ever noticed the page!

I actually used the technique FOUR times on the page. I thought I would repost the page because I have been seeing the Ombre technique being used so much lately. Like this week's MDS Monday Challenge! It's not even that far off of the sketch!

Well, I have a class here on Friday, I guess I should go get some things together for it. Why did I decide to rearrange my stamp room this week???

If you want to try your hand at the AWESOMENESS that is MDS - CLICK HERE and give it a shot  - at only $20, it's probably the BEST VALUE Stampin' Up! offers.

Have you seen this?

 I am looking for a few more people who like to join my team by the end of the month. I a sending all new team members a special gift.

Hope you have a great day!!!

Thanks! MDS Digi Crop and Fab Friday Challenges!

Hi there!

Happy Monday everyone! Did you have a good weekend? We had a fun and busy one here. My hubby worked a lot of overtime at this BIG even that happens here in Las Vegas every year, the Electric Daisy Carnival. Like 22 hours of OT! Bad part is that it was over night :( That's ok, the boys and I headed to my Dad's for a day of swimming!

Last week I participated in a fun Digi-Crop night on Facebook with my friends Cindy and Monika, and one of Monika's challenges was to create a project with a faux masking technique and to use some New 14-16 In Colors. Then I found Mindy's challenge over on the Fab Friday blog and realized that this card is perfect! What do you think???

I am looking forward to when we start with our NEW printing company so I can see this one in person! I used the splatter stamp that comes with the program and rotated it to get a different look for each color.

Artisan Wednesday Wow - Hello, Hello, Hello, Fabulous Four!

 

Hi there!!! Welcome back!!!

 I have such wonderful blog readers! Thank you! Thank you for helping me get through last week. Both officers have been laid to rest, and even though there is still a lot to be done for the families and other officers on the street, I hope that the worst of the emotions have eased a little. (I am currently organizing a small fundraiser featuring the Calling All Heros stamp set - please check it out HERE)

 Do you love the new In-Colors? I have heard that some people just aren't that crazy about them. I ADORE them. They are so rich and so saturated! I like to think of them as our "Bright Regals" Collection.

 

I love how GORGEOUS these turned out!!!! Check out the who set -

The first group I did an emboss resist technique on Watercolor paper. I embossed in Clear Embossing Powder and then watercolored orver the top with my Watercolor brush and the In-Color re-inkers.

I also did an ombre set of sorts. I did one card that used all the In-Colors, just like I did with the watercolor set, and then I continued to stamp off upwards on the one color ones!

 They all got a fun little splattering of Basics Jewel Rhinestones to finish them off! What do you think???

 Head on over to Jennifer's blog. I love some of the beautiful and clean ideas she comes up with and I know you will too.

MDS Blog Hop - Celebrate DADS

Going Big This Father’s Day

 

My husband always goes all-out when planning holidays for me. He always has. But sometimes life gets so crazy for me that it’s the last minute and I still haven’t made the things that I want to make. Not this year! This year I started early! I think he’s going to LOVE it.

To create this HUGE ensemble for him, I pulled out all of the stops. I used LOTS of cardstock, a great go-to stamp set (Gorgeous Grunge), a fun color scheme, the Big Shot and dies, MDS (US/CA), and my e-cutter! It took a while to get it all done, but I think the results were nothing less than pure awesomeness!



I really put effort into adding tons of details, so let me share each project with you—along with some of those little touches.
I made the necktie banner using one of the ties from the Father’s Day Stamp Brush Set. Using my e-cutter, I cut each tie four times and glued them together using a Stampin’ Glue Stick, creating my own kind of chipboard. I did the same with the Lauren’s Letters, Alphabet & Numbers Punch Digital Download. I decided a few of the ties needed some personality, so I cut some strips and punched some polka-dots from my scraps. Dad has to have some style, right?



Next came the centerpiece. I found a metal drink bucket, put some filler on the bottom, lined it with some brown packing paper, then filled it with one of my hubby’s favorites—peanut M&Ms. Then, using some smaller versions of the neckties and some fun sayings from the Rad Dad Stamp Brush Set and the Because I’m the Dad Greeting Card Template, I created the stakes—because, well, I couldn’t do flowers! I jazzed up the sentiments using the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set and backed them on coordinating Starburst Framelits Dies.







A little 4-pack of “POP” HAD to be made to wash down all the upcoming yumminess. On the back of the ties I’ll have each of the boys write: “You are the BEST POP around, Dad!”





This is where Dad is really going to get spoiled rotten! I found a bunch of his favorite treats, then tried to figure out cute sayings to help “tie” them in (oh, I crack myself up!) to the gift.

 

Got any fab ideas for Father’s Day?

I would love to know what you think. Also, I know that this team never dissapoints, so head on over to my talented friend Julie Leblanc - she always wows me!

 

Hope you have a great day!!!

Artisan Wednesday Wow - Hey There Buds, it's New Catalog Time!!!

 

 

Hi there!!! Welcome back!!!

 It's NEW CATALOG TIME!!!! This is by far one of the best catalogs I have ever seen from Stampin' Up! There are so many adorable stamp sets, accessories and ideas. Let me tell ya - the artists at Stampin' Up! are seriously cranking out some of the BEST card and project ideas - EVER!!!

 Ever have a stamp set that you like, but you aren't quite sure why? It's not your "style", but you are drawn to it for some reason? That's what happened with me and this stamp. This stamp is Hey There Buds and I like it.

 What do you think? Did this set jump out at you, or did you look right past it? It's on page 125 of the catty in case you're curious.

 This card was created on the AWESOME new KRAFT CARDSTOCK!!!! I LOVE IT - so rich! I stamped the main image on Shimmery White Cardstock. After inking the stamp with my markers and stamping, I cut it out with the Deco labels framelits. I also used the new Gold Soiree Designer Paper and Pistachio Pudding twine.

 I can see being able to use this stamp with so many techniques - can't wait to PLAY more!!!

We Create Blog Hop - Stampin' Up! 2014 New Catalog - Flamingo Lingo, Ronald McDonald House Set

 Hi friends!

    I am excited to once again participate with the "We Create" Blog Hop Team. This month we wanted to share with you some projects with some of the awesome stamp sets from the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog!!!!!

   I was fortunate enough to attend an event last month in Long Beach, CA where Stampin' Up! unveiled the new Stampin' p! Catalog. While there, the attendees were treated to a "my favorite things" type session and one of the great gifts was the Flamingo Lingo stamp set. I was super excited, because it's the set that Stampin' Up! has chosen to be our Ronald McDonald House set this year! Every time someone buys the set, we donate $3 to RMHC!!!

 I loved it the moment I saw it, but then I wasn't quite so sure what I was going to do with it. I found myself with about 2 hours to stamp and came up with these 3 fun cards. I was really hoping to get 3 different looks.. tell me what you think....

This one I wanted bright and fun. I added some sponging to the oval to give it a bit of an ombre look. I also used the new Strawberry Slush Thick Baker's Twine and Back to Black Designer Series Paper - LOVE IT!!!

 EEEEK! I love how this one turned out - even though I don't think it's a very "Jeanna" card. I embossed the flamingo and sentiment in Gold Embossing Powder. See those big, fun polka dots? They are from the Calypso Coral Celebration Add-On Kit (p 202) I LOVE them! I had to add some FUN Gold Sequin Trim. To add it to my card, I took a length, folded it in half and tied a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Twine into a bow around it.

Nothing to special on this one, used a piece of the Designer Paper from the Celebration Add-On kit again. I also used the Calypso Coral marker to add some shading on the stamp after I inked it in Crisp Cantaloupe. OH! and how excited am I that there is BLACK Baker's Twine now?!?!?!?! Seriously awesome. I needed it!!!!

 Well, as you can see I am seriously excited about this new catalog and I can not wait to continue to share more and more ideas with you over the next year! FOR NOW though, make sure you keep checking out the rest of the hop!

Head on over to Emillie's blog - I know she'll have something great to share with you today!
