Featured Stamper!

Sundays is Featured Stamper Challenge days...it's a challenge where we are to go and look at a certain stampers gallery and then make a card using the inspiration found there!

Todays Featured Stamper is Terrore3, you can find her SCS gallery Here and her personal blog here. She has some amazing cards and projects and I was just very excited to be able to make a card today...again not a challenge I usually get to do!

This is the card that Inspired me today... I love the simplicity of it. I also like that I didn't have much time to stamp and was able to get a card done and have it look so cute so quickly!

This is my take on the card! I opted for a colored background instead of the white she used and then I used a different stamp set and different designer paper, I also choose to add a ribbon to the designer paper section and I also did some embossing using my Scor-pal and then added little dots using my chocolate chip marker! So that's about it! Here is my list of what you'll need!

Supplies:

Stamps: Older and Wiser (retired SU! set)

Ink: stazon timber brown

paper: Tangerine Tango, Papaya designer series paper

accessories: chocolate chip twill ribbon

Thats about it! I hope you like my card!

Thanks for stopping by and what a great challenge this was!

It's my Birthday!

Yup, today I turned 29...and although I had HUGE plans for this weekend...God had other plans for me! I was supposed to go up to my parents (they live an hour away) Friday night and once the kids went to bed my sister and I were to go see Nights In Rodanthe...but alas those plan failed. Mela our oldest girl got sick and released her dinner all over the car seat on the way back from taking David to pre-school only a couple miles away...so we stayed home instead!
This is my sweet angel David...he's 4.5 but a gentelman in training! When he woke up this mornin he snuggled in with me in our bed and just started talking and chatting as nirmal and then he remembered on his own that it was my birthday and just started singing...then he got up and told me to stay in bed and he would call me whem he was ready. So he finally called me into the kitchen and this is what he had to show me!

Yup...He decorated the kitchen for my birthday! Pink is my fav color and so he got the pink streamers, his scissors and some tape and went to town...okay so maybe the ones on the chandelier werent there, he asked me to put those up because he couldn't reach...Ohhh my kids just melt my heart...he seriously made me cry with joy today!

What a birthday it turned out to be! Hubby (thats a picture of hubby and oldest DD Mela above...isn't he just the most handsome thing!) got home and made us breakfast and then baked me a super moist super yummy chocolate cake...and then he made me the BEST steak I have ever eaten, and I used to work at a steak house! He also made me my fav...sweet potatoes baked in the oven and baked beans...let me tell you he spoiled me!

I have been having some issues with my shoulder, back and neck and the sweet man got me a gift certificate for a one hour massage...I can not wait to use that bad boy!!! I also got the warmest coziest micro fleece blanket to put on our bed...LOVE IT!!!

Here is a picture of me and the girls...Bella is such a hoot! She lunged foward at the last second and made the cutest face! I can not believe she is such a comedian already!

And then last week I sold my beloved cuttlebug so that I could save the money and get a SU! BigShot and wouldn't you know it that 2 of my friends chipped in and got me the rest of the money I needed to get it! (Thanks Nikki and Danielle, you girls rock!) So I will be ordering it on Oct. 1st!!!

My In-laws are treating me to lunch tomorrow and I think my sister is coming down tomorrow afternoon...so I think this is turning out to be a FANTASTIC birthday!

Ohh and I got to stamp!

I made 3 cards and a super cute box...although I can't show you the box just yet I will show you one of the cards I made! It was for the IC147 on SCS...I don't usually have time on Saturdays to get the challenge done since we usually go to church on the days hubby is off, but this was a nice change for me. I love love love how this card turned out. I actually combined some challenges...not only the challenge for today, but also Thursdays challenge to add a charm to your card/project.

This is the inside fo the card...just trying some new things out and I really like extending the design of the card to the inside!

Another LSC card

So I was browsing through the LSC187 gallery and I just HAD to stamp another card...I love , LOVE how this turned out...I know it's simple but I just love how the little lamb, sheep signifies purity and how Jesus is Pure and how he walked on this earth to show us His love for us and how we should share our love for others...So there you have it, that's why I choose to use this sweet little lamb from Pun fun for another LSC card...isn't it just the cutest! Might have to make a bunch more of these...super fun and super cute!

I wasn't going to use any ribbon, although the challenge allows for it, but I made a boo boo and you could see where it said *Thank Ewe* so I used my ribbon to cover it up...no need to worry...no one will ever know...except for you all of course, and Iknow you won't tell a soul!

Supplies:

Stamps: Pun Fun, Snow Swirled

Paper: ridding hood red, shimmery white, soft sky, Designer paper

Ink: riding hood red, baja breeze, stazon black

Accessories: chocolate polu twill ribbon, aqua painter, re-inker

Paper Tey Ink Blog Hop

Welcome to the Paper Trey Ink September Blog Hop!


This is my first time ever participating in the Paper Trey Ink Blog Hop, but I am totally pleased with my projects (although it was a bit hard to photo) so I figured why not, right?!?!!

I started my project by recycling something that most people just overlook...you find them in abundance on the streets and anywhere people drink really...it's a bottle cap, I found it on the street the other day, it was just sitting there all by it's little lonesome calling my name and asking to be used! It's a twist top so it wasn't deformed in any way and the logo had worn off so I don't know what kind of drink it had once protected, but I thought Hey I can do something with this! So in my pocket it went until I got home!

It stayed in my craft room for about a week until hubby brought home some epoxy to seal a hole and I asked him if I could just use the rest of it when he was done! So off I went with my bottle cap and sanded it and then spray painted it with Rustolium Teal spray paint...this stuff says it's quick drying, but I must be the most impatient person in the world cuz I kept messing it up and smudging it! Hubby doesn't so much like it when I spray paint things because I end up leaving my mark behind on the gravel driveway...there has to be a less messy way of doing this, but i was too lazy to drag out the newspaper!

I sprayed both sides of the bottle cap and then waited until it dreied...I took a piece of shimmery Vanilla Cardstock and used my 1 inch circle punch (it's the perfect size for bottle caps!) I then stamped the snowflake image in the center using tempting turquoise classic ink (I know you don't see a snowflake, when I added the epoxy it disolved the ink...so be sure to use a permanent, not water based ink)

Next I stamped the Holiday Cheer with stazon black ink and Glued it to the inside of the bottle cap. (before I started the process I used an ALL and hammer and made tiny holes so that I could thread some jewlery wire and make a loop) I added glitter to what I thought were the appropriate spots and then snowflake and dumped out the acess. I then mixed my two part epoxy and added it to the bottlecap...thats when my snowflake started to disapear...I thought my project was ruined...but alas I got a brillian idea once the epoxy had dried! I thought, Hey I'll add snowflakes to the hardened eopxy! So I got out my white stazon ink and stamped right on top...makes the whole project really neat and adds that 3-D effect! I love it!

To this I added a charm I had picked up a while back at A.C. Moore (it was on clearance) the sentiment was perfect because in todays world or rush rush rush I still believe in Holiday Cheer...Don't you?

So I added a few more snowflakes to the back with the white Stazon ink and another sentiment...now the necklace is double sided and you can choose which side to wear out! Neat huh? I finirshed the necklace by threading the bottle cap onto a piece of organdy ribbon and stringing some spacer beads to that... I still need to add a clasp, but all I had at home were gold and I don't think that will look good!

So now you have a perfect little gift for someone that wasn't very expensive and got some trash off the ground!

So here is a little card to add to the necklace...perfect little ensemble (please excuse the picture, I must of taken at least 30 and nothing came out!) The card measures 2 inches by 1 3/4 inches. I siply stamped 3 snowflakes with taken with teal ink and added glitter, stamped the holiday cheer right above inked scallops. The same organdy ribbon and another charm finish off the card...I hope you liked my project! You can view the rest of the participating blogs HERE.

Supplies:

Stamps: Holiday Treats by PTI

Ink: Taken with Teal, black stazon, white stazon

Paper: Shimmery white, shimmery vanilla

Accessories: Bottle cap, 2 part epoxy, glitter, sponge, 1 inch circle punch, charms spacer beads, sheer organdy ribbon, spray paint, patience!
