Inspiration Challenge 193

Todays inspitation challege193 on SCS was to go to a pretty cool site! The site is called The Curiosity Shoppe. I immediately knew what I was going to use as my inspiration when I got there! Wanna see?
Isn't it cute? I liked all the houses lined up in a row and I liked all the pink too...hmmm I think I rather like pink...such a fun girly color!!! LOL

I wanted mine to be square, but it didn't end up that ay! Boo hiss...ohh well I still like it lots though! It measures 6x5...so it's a bigger than normal card....So I'll probably have to make my own envelope!!


I used a digi image from Little Paper Shop that I just absolutely adore called Jena Book. School is going to start up here in about a month and my little man is tarting Kindergarten...So i better get started! LOL


I used some left over purely pomegranate textured cardstock and some soft sky textured cardstock...printed all these gorgeous girl up on some whisper white cardstock and the sentiment and called it a day!

Supplies:
Stamps: none...gasp! Digi image from Little Paper Shop called Jenna Book
Ink: none...ackkkk gasp again!
Paper: purely pomegranate, soft sky, whisper white
Accessories: scalloped border punch, organdy ribbon, dimentionals

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'

So a while back my sister out me in touch with a gal (hi Lauren) that wanted me to make her a shadow box frame for her bosses wedding gift...well I finally got theinvite from my sister today and went speedy quick to work...I have been looking ofward to this project for quite some time now!

Here are the deets!

Ink: Encore Silver

Paper: Blush Blossom, shimmery silver, paper vellum, transparency overlay by Hambly Screen Prints

Accessories: Silver eyelets, embelishments by Jolees, Crop-a-dial, wedding invitation

Now for some fun stuff we did yesterday, I say fun, but it was really quite a lot of work! We are going to be moving to Greece and therefor renting our house out...so we wanted to get some cleaning done! We started on the outside with the siding (is that how you spell it?) and decided to make it a family affair...cuz you know God gave us all this house and we all need to learn to take care of it, even the baby! LOL

Here's a picture of Andrew and all the kids getting to work...don't worry I helped too, I just wanted to get some pics to share with you guys!) When we got to the garage and we rinsed it off we were suprised to find that the garage door is actually white! Can you believe it, this whole time I thought it was kahki, or orange mud!

And I just had to share this one! David and Bella were so busy with their work! Bella was just too cute doing what the big kids were doing! She had so much fun and then took a wonderful nap after we were done! Mela was re-charging her scrubber with more bubbles...she seemed to be at the bucket a lot, I think she enjoyed playing in the water!

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your visit today!

Sketch 181 and some belated father's day cards!

So today's sketch challenge was a super fun sketch found here. I really enjoyed the sketch and had just gotten some Hambly screenprints yesterday at an LSS and so I combined the two! The screen print is printed in a chocolate brown and it's called brocade...to die for! I also wand to keep it kind of simple as I was making this for a man...so you know...not too much fru fru...I don't know that he'll appreciate the coral, but hey...at least he's getting a card! LOL Just kidding.


Here are the supplies used
Stamps: Much appreciated
Ink: Basic Brown
paper: Shimmery white, cameo coral, chocolate chip, tempting turquoise, brocade screen print by Hambly
accessories: ribbon, silver brads
All supplies by SU! unless otherwise specified
This card was hubby's Father's Day card... I didn't want to post it because I didn't ant him to see it...and I have been super busy since Father's Day so no time to post...Don't worry, Tuesday's Teacher WILL be back next week! I don't actually own this stamp, my friend Sara over at Sara's Stamping Sanctuary sent it to me a while back and I just thought it was perfect for the occasion! What are the supplies for this little beauty you ask? Well wait no more!
Supplies:
Stamps: Riley Moose by Hannah stamps, All year cheer I
paper: tempting turquoise, chocolate chip, Designer series paper tempting turquoise
accessories: SU! markers Twill tape ribbon

This next card was easy peasy! Really 2 stamps and I was done...the nice thing about this card is that you can change the sentiment and have it be for any occasion. All I did was stamp the frame in stazon timber brown ink and then stamped the sentiment on the inside with blue bayou ink (which will not be available after Aug 10th!) and then used an aqua painter to spread the color a little...no need to add ink to the aqua painter, the water based ink will run and spread a little with just adding water!

Then I used my little craft knife and cut around the stamped arches at the top and bottom, threaded the ribbon through and added a brad...now it looks like it's hanging, Neat huh?

Supplies:

Stamps:Label Classics, All year cheer (both retired)

Ink: blue bayou, stazon timber brown

Paper: shimmery white

Accessories: vintage brads, brown ribbon

This last card was for both Father's day and for the Featured stamper challenge on SCS this last Sunday. The Featured stamper was Dinidill. So the idea behind the featured stamper is that you go into their gallery, find a card that you like and kinda copy it...but you have to change some of the things so that it's NOT an exact replica of the card...what's the point then right? Then you upload your card to SCS and link it to the challenge thread...it's actually quite fun to see what everyone comes us with!

I only used her layout and I changed just about everything else. I love how this card came out and so did the recipient! (I made 2...different colors though and gave one to my FIL and one to my BIL)

Supplies:

Stamps: Loads of Love, All year cheer, lovely as a tree

ink: stazon timber brown, soft sky, blue bayou, old olive SU! markers

paper: really rust, old olive, whisper white, unknown DS paper

accessories: vintage brads, aqua painter, scallop punch as a mask, piece of paper to mask the truck

That's all I have for ya! I hope you liked it and I'm sorry I have been so spacey lately!

Thanks for stopping by!
