Club 52

Hi Friends and Stampers,

I hope you are having a great Monday.  I am off today and so I had to get a few things organized for our Challenge tomorrow and then I wanted to squeeze in my my last weekly Challenge card this year for My Favorite Things Weekly Challenge!  Whoot!  I am still in club 52!   I haven't won one time this year, lol.   But I have won in the past couple years and I do love playing along. Here is the sketch:

I hope to see you back here tomorrow for our next Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps!

 

I'm so happy to be off this week with the boys.  I have small things planned for us to do, but I am getting caught up on my DT Coordinator duties and then I will be by to check out all your blogs.  I have been so neglectful and for that I am sorry.  Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers and that I truly do appreciate your comments and coming by here.  These past six months have been a zinger with my Grandson moving in.  We have had a lot of changes and my time on the computer has been cut to about a third.  But I think I do have my priorities right, even if it means giving up some of the things I enjoy doing.  He is totally worth it, lol.  So bare with me while I play catch up and hopefully I will get better at juggling it all.

Christmas Chocolate for the Teacher

Hi Friends and Stampers,

I had a couple hours to sneak this weeks MFT sketch in!  Yippee!!!  I have been in a Christmas Frenzy since Saturday night when it dawned on Joe and I that yes, Christmas is right around the corner and we have procrastinated as long as we could. lol.   Thank God for Amazon! 

 

 

For my card I used MFT PI A Box of Love and the sentiment is from PI Little Elf Girl, I colored them up with my Copic Markers and Inked them up in Memento Black Ink.  I used MME paper 6X6 pack called Merry Little Christmas.  My Die-Namics are Pierced Circle Stax and BluePrints 8.

 

Thanks for Looking and I hope you are having a blessed season.

Gotta Tree?

Hi Friends and Stampers,

Wow, hard to believe it's time for a new Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps.  Time is really flying by now!  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!  We had such a relaxing and lazy one, I almost hate to admit it, lol.  I made a card.  I watched a lot of football.  Joe cooked the Turkey and most of the dinner.  All I did was serve pie and make the gravy.  I'm spoiled right?  I know.  I just love him for making my holly-days so much better.  Now don't worry about Joe, I allow a lot of gaming time and when it was crunch time on Saturday, I was out there with him working away, lol.  But we had a great dinner and much to be thankful for this year. 

Okay, onto Christmas!  Who's done shopping and decorated?  I really have not started either.  So we will have a busy month ahead of us, lol.  First we need to get a tree.

 

MFT - PI Happy Christmas

MFT Die-Namics Chalkboard Frame Builder

Isn't she the cutest little thing? She is all ready for decorating that tree.  I did make a few Christmas cards and I hope to get making the bulk of them this next week, when I get off work, after dinner, after study time and before bedtime, lol.  We shall see.  But our current Challenge - Anything Goes, is sure to help you along with your card making this winter. 

 

I was on facebook a lot this last weekend.  Wow, I cannot believe the stamp companies closing!  Makes me so sad.  Our LSS has closed and the one over the hill on the way to L.A. has also closed.  Is this a sign of things to come?  Do you think people are losing interest in stamping?  I think we need to find some new addicts, lol.   I want to keep it alive and well so our store can stay open as well as my hobby replenished.  So invite new friends and show them what they can do!

 

Speaking of inviting new friends.  We have posted a DESIGN TEAM CALL for our next term which will be from January 1st - April 30th. You can see all the details in this blog post! We hope you will apply - you don't have to have any experience in design team work, so if you have never been on a team before don't let that stop you from trying :)

 

I hope to see your fabulous creations!

I am submitting to this weeks MFT sketch:

 

 

Flying Butterfly Friday

Good Morning Friends and Stampers,

Happy Holly-Day Friday!  I have a card to show you for my Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Friday Post.

MFT - PI On a Picnic

MFT- Die-Namics Butterflies

MFT Die-Namics Pierced Circle Stax

MFT - Die-Namics Circle Stax Set 2

MFT Die-Namics Flying Butterflies

Bo-Bunny Apple Cider Collection 6X6 Pad

Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press Paper

Best Glue Ever

 

Originally I was going to make the PI Butterfly.  I searched and searched through my stash and discovered I do not have that one, lol.  I do have more than enough PI's, lol, but I thought I had that one too.  So I chose the on a picnic and fussy cut her out.  I used the negatives from the butterfly on the bottom for leaves around her.  I also used some of the negatives from the flying butterflies for inside the card.  It is a bit orangey, but the rain just started to fall and the trees just started to really turn and I have had a pretty nasty bronchitis and it definitely feels like fall here.  So I was in the mood for fall.

 

Do you have weekend plans?  I am working this weekend but I'm not that upset about it, I do have some time off coming up next week for the Holly-Day and I've got our Thanksgiving planned out.  We are going to  have a quiet one, just our immediate family.  This will be the first one in a long time, if ever... and we are due for a bit of a break.  Plus there is football to consider and you all know how much I love football, lol.  I'm actually very excited and hope there are at least a couple games on Thursday.   But if you are off this weekend, I hope you have plans to get inky and join us in our Challenge!  Also you do not want to miss out out on Indah's video tomorrow at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog.  And you want to be sure to check out the New Items.

 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.

Happy Fall Fun Time

Hi There Friends and Stampers,

If I haven't gotten to your blogs to visit, I am sorry, I am still making my way around, lol.  Ever feel like you could use just one more day off and about 6 more hours to each day? lol. 

It's Tuesday and its time for everyones favorite challenge over at the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog - Anything Goes!   So here is what I came up with. 

CC Designs Playful Henry

MFT ALM Pumpkin in the Patch -Sentiment

MFT Die-Namic BluePrints 8

MFT Die-Namics Pierced Circle Stax

MFT Die-Namic Circle Stax 1

MFT Die-Namic Sentiment Strip

Doodlebug happy harvest paper

Best Glue Ever!

Copic Markers
Copic X-Press It Paper
Memento Ink - Black

 

OMGosh I feel like this paper was made for this adorable new image.  And I love them both!  This is PLAYFUL HENRY, from  Roberto's Rascals Collection from C.C. Designs.  Be sure to check out the whole collection, I think they are adorable and they are not that expensive as Rubber Stamps go.  And I still got a great quality rubber stamp and inks up really well. This particular image reminds me of my youngest son, so I am hanging on to it for some Scrap Pages and maybe a couple more cards, who knows, lol.  Now the eyes just came round, so I decided to use my Copic Multiliner pen and just color in some eyes with black.  It's a small space and I didn't think I had the room to go full on eyes with this, lol.  I love them so much, I used a different one for Friday's card, so stay tuned for Friday and more adorable Henry, lol. 

 

The square Die-namic from Blueprints 8 is perfect for square cards, I can see myself using this over and over again.  I am really glad I got this set.  They seem a little pricey at first, but when you count how many different dies you get, it's actually not a bad way to go and they all go together interchangeable.  Can I cut a square?  Yes, but I can't get those perfect little embossed edges and the little hash marks, lol.  So I am recommending these for sure. 

 

I hope you have had a chance to check out the NEW ITEMS Laura has added to her store.  I am always calculating out my next payday, lol.   Also if you have not had a chance to hop along in Sunday's Blog Hop, there is still time, you have til Saturday to Hop Along for a Chance to win a Prize. 

 

I cannot wait to see what you enter in this Challenge! 

 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments!

Hi Friends and Stampers,

I am going to upload this in two min or less, lol.  I will be back later with the list of products I used from Loves Rubberstamps.

Rock Star

Hi Friends and Stampers!

Happy Holly - Day Friday! It's my day to post over at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog. Whooo Hoooo it's the weekend! What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever it is, I hope you have a Rock Star weekend!

MFT - Document It - Rock On

MFT Die-namics - Rock n Roll Die Set

MFT MPD Distressed Background Blocks

Memento Ink - Tangelo

Memento Ink - Grey Flannel

Best Glue Ever!

 

I love this stamp and die set, and I have many more plans for it! My husband likes those video games with guitar hero and I have plenty of pics of those times to scrap, lol. Same with my son. I used the Distressed backgrounds block and inked it up with Grey Flannel and then stamped it off once before stamping on the blue paper. I inked up the Rock Star in Tangelo Ink. I had a silver pen from somewhere, and colored in the embosses areas of the guitar to add some dimension. I love this doodlebug paper, boys only, and it's so perfect to use with this image. What's more, I remembered I had it! lol.

Now I have to be a rock star this weekend and work, but I tell you, I have had the best day today that it makes up for it. I'm still in my Jammies and I've had the oldies music cranking and I've just made cards and drank coffee, lol. I feel so spoiled but I love being relaxed and having mojo all at the same time.

So while I am working, I hope you will get inky and join us for our current challenge-Fall Leaves or Pumpkins! You will also want to see the NEW ITEMS that Laura has been busy adding to the store!

 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.

Happy Holly-Day Friday, It's my turn to post over at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog!!!

 

TGIF! and I am OFF this weekend!  Whoopee!  What's more, my guys are all going camping over night on Saturday.  So it's boot them out the door by noon and I got the whole day and night to myself.  We're talking staying in my pj's, running around to surface clean and then I'm so blog hopping and making my Tuesday card!  lol. 

 

Special shout-out to my Sister, it's her Happy Birthday today.  My Sister is so wonderful.  She doesn't like to admit it, but she is the older one, lol.   She is a chef who can cook up anything you want with your eyes rolling in the back of your head and mouth begging for more.  She is also brilliant, she has one of those memories and she can remember all the way back to when we were very little.  She has a great smile and beautiful blue/green eyes.  I love hanging with my Sister, we can talk for hours and hours and hours.  Unfortunately, we do not get the chance to do that very often, but when we do, we make up for lost time, lol. 

 

I came home from work last night and guess what?  My Grandson Reed has added to the hole in his head, he lost his other front tooth! lol.  He is absolutely my Jack-O-Lantern this year and all he wants for Christmas is his two front teeth!  He is doing so well in making progress in School.  We have to be tough on the little guy sometimes to keep him focused on his homework and catching up on what he did not learn last year, but over all he is gaining so much knowledge in such a rapid pace and he is a trouper.  It's so hard to be the parent to your Grandchild.  All I want to do is give him his way, but I know that is not good for him.  So I struggle with it. 

 

My what a chatty post, lol.  You came here to see the card.  I love this cute little PI called, "It's a sign" and she comes with so many little things you can put in the sign.  I tried my hand at the chalkboard look and over all I like the results, but I know it needs flowers, lol.  I need to send this through the mail though, so I kept is pretty clean.  I love this Vertical Frame die!  I think you we be seeing more of these soon, lol.  I also love this beautiful paper. 

 

Speaking of cute paper and MFT items, youc an see that latest release in the NEW ITEMS of the store now.  Don't forget about our current Challenge - Polka Dots! We have a great store voucher prize and a wonderful Sponsor - Birdie Brown!   Also, there is still time to comments on our Sunday Blog hop for a chance to win a great prize!  And you will want to return to the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog tomorrow for our Saturday Video Tutorials.

Hello Friends and Stampers,

 

It's a new Challenge Day over at Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog - Anything Goes!  Whoo Hoo!  I thought I would take a road trip with this one, lol.   I feel like I am about due for a trip somewhere but my work schedule and budget says otherwise, lol.   Happy October 1st!  Life has just passed by so quickly this year, hard to believe Halloween is at the end of the month!  I had better get started on more of my witch cards, lol. 

 

Laura has been super busy adding more New Items to the store, so you want to be sure to check that out!  I see some new images just in time for Christmas there.  I think I have told you before how much I love having a great variety of images to choose from, along with other supplies I need.  Right there under one store.  Be sure to check out all the different companies and supplies you can get while you are at it!

 

Hope you are all having a great week!  I cannot wait to see your projects!

Hello Friend and Stampers,

 

Here is my Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration for you today.

 

Happy Holly-Day Friday!  Whoo Hoo, what's everyone doing this weekend?  I'm off work with the guys this weekend.  We are going to the fair tomorrow!!!  Yeah.   That means wristbands and watching them go around and around and around while we stand in the blistering heat for 5 hours, taking pictures, lol.  Once they have done that, we are usually too tired for the exhibit booths and the animals, lol.   But it's the fair and the kids have fun. 

 

I kinda got peer pressured into putting away the summer paper for a while, lol.  Don't worry, it's going too far for too long, lol.   I have not seen very much in the way of paper that I like this fall and winter season.  Some are cute but look so darn close to what I have that I have decided to buckle down and not jump until I see something I love.  Lucky for me and for you, there is still some of this fabulous Halloween paper in the Store from last year. And I have enough of it to last me through the Halloween season, lol.   I have purposefully avoided the LSS so that I do not buy any more paper for a while.  I have over 100 6X6 paper pads!  Isn't that awful?!  And I have given a few away but honestly, I have plans for the rest, lol.  So they stay.  I like this particular paper because it's all witch adds and Halloween designs.  My Candi dots were originally black and white, but white didn't look very good on this, so I got out my E43 and colored the words, now they fit in perfectly.  So my little Bewitching Witch is out shopping for her new Cauldron, all in high fashion, lol.  

 

I am following the MFT's weekly sketch.  Instead of adding a sentiment and word banner, I used the one in the paper and stamped a sentiment on there.  Part of the shopping motif, lol. 

 

 

And as you can see, my circle got much bigger, lol.

 

Laura has been adding all kinds of New Items to the store and it's hard to keep up on what she adding, lol.  But that won't stop me from trying my best, lol.  I do love it all and she does spoil me by adding the MFT items.  Don't forget to check on the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog  tomorrow for our weekly Video Tutorial by Indah, they are fabulous!  And you'll want to check in on Sunday too for the Design Team Blog Hop where you could win just for commenting!  This weeks Loves Rubberstamps Challenge is a 1,2,3 Challenge - Check HERE for the details.

 

Reed continues to work away at catching up in school.  He has made a few really exciting milestones and discovered that he is recognising some words and is able to read most of the material in front of him for his grade level.  We are taking things in steps.  He can do math in his head better than I can and he excels on that, so we are doing a lot of reading, writing and then we will focus more on Spelling.  His teacher is awesome and the daycare instructor is such a blessing, she gets him started on some of his homework.   So we are the little engine that could saying, "I think I can, I think I can..." lol.

What do you think of this adorable pirate?  I did paper piece his shirt and then I dirtied it up with some Memento London Fog.  Pirates can have clean shirts you know, especially when they are torn up to perfection, lol. 

 

I hope you get a chance to play along with us!  Make sure you tune in to the Inspiration Blog tomorrow for another one of Indah's fabulous video tutorials!   For now, I'm off to bed....zzzzz.  Got to work all weekend :(

Hello Friends And Stampers!

 

Happy Holly-Day!  Even though I had a shorter work week, it was a busy one and I am looking forward to this weekend off!  And I am so ready to "Let's Do Lunch"!  lol.   Here is my Holly-Day Inspiration for today. I love this cute little P.I. Called - on a picnic.  The links to the store are just under the picture.  I stamped the image on the yellow paper, then stamped it again on the blue/green paper and then stamped it again on the X-Press it Paper, all in Memento Black Ink.  Then I colored with my Copics and fussy cut the images out.  I cannot get enough of this Echo Park Paper, I just love the colors and the cute designs.  I think I might use this one up completely! lol.  The Toy Box Candi pieces are so easy to use and I love the cute design on them. 

 

Wait til you see ALL the NEW LISTINGS of MFT's Laura added to the store!!!! I'm so excited!!!! And yes, I ordered.  lol.  I ordered twice!   And there is plenty more on my wish list since she has all the newly released items on there as well as some newer ones and some retired ones.    She has added quite a few things,  Some Odd Girls, CC Designs, The Greeting Farm, Saturated Canary, and don't forget about those new Prima Dolls!  There is something for everyone, that's for sure.  And you know, I love it all! lol. 

 

Our Current Challenge is everyone's favorite - Anything Goes!  There are some great prizes to be won, so now is the chance to upload those fabulous cards and projects you have been making!

 

We just got back from my son's Open House.  It was good to meet his teacher and see where he spends his days.  He is thinking about running for vice president of the school this year, and he is quite popular.  I was texting my Grandson's teacher this morning.  Seems Mr. Reed did not feel like doing Math today.  So we finished up the last of our homework, went over the spelling words for tomorrow and read through his two little reading books.  While listening to the Violin Practise in the background. And then I read a book to him for a half hour and it was off to bed.  Wow, this feels like the longest day ever, lol.  All that was after my 10 hour shift. 

 

I hope to get some inky time in this weekend.  I was able to work on a card with a bit of different edge to my style, I will show it to you on Tuesday!  I hope to get around to everyone's blog and see what you all have been up to as well. 

 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments.
