Another ornament

I was inspired by the ornament shown on the Papercrafts website. I used TaDa Creative Studios sparkling spruce pattern paper and the sentiment is a stamp from Pink Persimmon. I also added liquid pearls and glitter.

Making Ornaments again

Each year, I love to make ornaments using the clear craft bulbs. I have finished one, and am working on 2 more. Here is the first:

I filled the ornament with fake snow. I then stamped the "Kiss Me You Fool" stamp by Rubber Romance. I used staz-on ink. I then used some stickles and Ranger pearls to fill in the stamped image. I added a bling gen on the finger. I am giving this to a friend who will be celebrating her first Christmas as a married woman.

For this ornament, I used Harmonie's silver peel stickers and a Harmonie ribbon. I then filled it with fake snow as well.

Card Sketch Challenge on Pink Persimmon Blog

Wow, what an opportunity!!! Pink Persimmon Stamps is hosting a card sketch challenge on their blog. All you have to do is use the card sketch for inspiration and post a link to your creation in Mr. Linky on the Pink Persimmon blog. The winner will be given all three Christmas stamp sets....AND a banner stamp set. Give it a try. I created this card to go with the sketch:

Isn't she cute???

I just had to share this picture I took last weekend of my daughter Shay. I bought the handmade hat from a very talented friend.

ICSketch #40

I found this really nice sketch card challenge site, inspirational card sketches. I created this card using their #40 sketch. I rotated the sketch.

Recipe card insert

Some of the girls that I work with get together and swap recipe layouts. This month we decided to do recipe card dividers for all of the recipes we have. I chose to make a cake one. I was inspired by the "Get Sketchy #12." I used TaDa Creative Studios pattern paper and stamps from the Tea Hee Hee collection.

Another card

I created this card for the current Caardvarks "tall card" challenge. The papers are from the October sugar kit at Scrapdango. The scroll stamp and the Happy Birthday sentiment stamp are made by Pink Persimmon. They are both on the Vintage Greetings set.

Get Sketchy #11

I was inspired by Get Sketchy's #11 sketch. I used the October sugar kit from Scrapdango. The stamp is from Rubber Romance.

A card to share...

I had fun using my QuicKutz Silhouette to make this card. I used TaDa Creative Studios Abode Ala Mode line to cut the shoes. I used a Rubber Romance "fashionesta" stamp to look like the shoe brand. I finished it off with a May Arts ribbon.

Pink Persimmon teams up with Cookin Up Creations

With it being Breast Cancer awareness month, Pink Persimmon Stamps has teamed up with Cookin Up Creations for a fun "Think Pink" contest. You basically do something that has pink as the main design color. You also have to include some stamping of some kind. The winner will get some Pink Persimmon goodies and a GDT spot at Cookin Up Creations. You need to hurry though, the contest ends tonight. I had fun joining in. Here is my card for "Think Pink."

I used the small banner stamps from Pink Persimmon. These are soooo fun to play with!!

Fun page for my Gardening album

I have many different mini albums, and my gardening album is one of my favorites. I just love to see my plants come to life each spring and summer. When I saw this gardening stamp by Rubber Romance, I just knew it would be perfect to use with my Harmonie floral pattern papers. I put these together with my favorite flower, the lily.

Materials: Rubber Romance Hyacinth is in the garden stamp Harmonie pattern papers layout inspired by a sketch at 52 sketches.

Rubber Romance "Hi" card

I love the look of dimension on scrapbook pages and cards. Pleating paper is a fabulous way to add dimension. To add a pleat, simply take a piece of pattern paper and fold it back and forth and adhere to the layout or card. You can be precise with your folding, or you can just wing it as I did for this card. I tore the bottom of my folded pleat. I then used this small pleated paper as well and layered it over the original piece. I just love the versatility of double sided papers!

Materials:
Rubber Romance "Hi" stamp

American Craft pattern papers

Caardvarks sketchfest Monday

Wow, another fun sketch today at Caardvarks. This time I used Pink Persimmon's Vintage Cupcake stamps. The cupcake and scallops are stamped from the vintage cupcake collection.

Get Sketchy #6

I finally had some time to complete the sketch at Get Sketchy! This was a fun one to play with. I used the September sugar kit at Scrapdango to complete the card.

Caardvarks sketchfest Sunday

Oh I had fun with this little bird card. I was inspired by the sketchfest going on right now at Caardvarks. I used the fabulous September Sugar kit from Scrapdango.

End of the year teacher gift
