Pack your bags

Hi there!!!  I hope you're all having a great day!!! I leave in 10 days for a fantastic trip to England and Ireland so I decided to make myself a journal for my trip.  For my journal, I decided to use the Stamping Bella set called "Molly Takes a detour". The image was stamped with Archival BLack ink and then colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  

I have a few more cards to share before I head on my trip so stay tuned!! 

Bon Voyage!!

Hi there!! Three days in a row.. I'm a rock star. LOL!! Just kidding. I am playing a little bit of catch up now. For today's project, I decided I wanted to make a journal for my mom for when we go on holidays at the end of May. My mom loves journalling about all the adventures so this is a perfect gift. I'll be making one for myself soon. For my journal, I have used Arrivadercibella from Stamping Bella and have colored her with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The DP is a mixture of a few different companies. 

See you Friday for Bellarific Friday. 

Merry Christmas in a shadow box

Hi there!!! Check out the fresh snow... LOL!!! We actually got some fresh snow in my neck of the woods today. Considering it snowed all night long, it really is a pathetic amount. Enough to be annoying but not enough to actually have fun in it.  

This week's challenge at Stamping Bella was "Anything Goes". I love getting crafty and making presents at Christmas so I decided to make a fun shadow box frame. One of my fave places in Nanaimo called Salvage recently had a class doing something very similar to this and I loved the idea so I customized it to what I wanted it to be.  I added some "snow", some of the bottle brush trees and a cute red sleigh that I found at Michaels.  I stamped the sentiment called "Merry Christmas and a Happy new year" with some Brilliance white ink (sorry I don't know the exact name of it) onto black cardstock.  (Ignore my shadow in the frame, I tried for days to get a good pic and no matter what it was either my reflection or the camera). 

I'm sure you're wondering what the next challenge will be and it's a fun one!!! And you have plenty time to get busy and get creative. 

Please stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes creations and leave a comment for a chance to win a Stamping Bella gift voucher. Email your card to Em by Jan 9 to be included on Bloggabella and you could win a Stamping Bella gift voucher!

Tis the Season

I had a little bit of play time this morning so I decided to have a bit of fun creating this fun journal that I'll be able to use to store my Christmas lists, receipts etc. I bought the new Crate Paper line at my LSS recently and knew I wanted to use it for my journal. The image I've used is called "Tis-the-season-to-be-jolly-a-bella" (say that 5 times fast!!!) which has been colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I thought about adding more embellishments but realized if I'm going to be pulling this out of my purse throughout the Christmas season that it probably wouldn't be a good idea. 

Did you hear the news???

A Bright Holiday Season

 

Have you noticed the sneak peeks over at There She Goes this week? Unfotunately, I'm sitting them out this month. BOO!!! My stamps for the release are stuck somewhere between Washington State and BC.... The sets are FANTASTIC this month so make sure you check them out.

 

In the meantime, I have made a candle using two TSG sets called "Holiday Tags" and "Wishing You". I stamped the snowflakes using a few different shades of blue (Memento and Stampin' Up). I then added some rhinestones to the center of each snowflake.  The sentiment was stamped using Chocolate Chip ink. 

 

I'm hoping that my "Secret Santa" person at work will like it :-) 

 

Happy Holidays :-)

 

TSG185 Gift of Giving

 

This week our challenge at There She Goes is brought to us by our Trendsetters! We are challenging YOU to make a card or project using our Season of Giving theme! You can use the theme in any way you chose, whether it be cards, tags, or actual gifts!

 I decided to have a little bit of fun and create a scene inside a picture frame.  For this project, I used a variety of DP (mainly Echo Park, My Mind's Eye and SImple Stories) for the trees as well as the background. In the background, I stamped some snowflakes from the set "HoHoHo" in Chocolate Chip ink and added some cream colored pearls.  The trees were created using "Christmas Tree Stacker" die from Dee's Distinctively Dies.  Each part of the trees has been sponged with Old Olive ink.  The reindeer are also from the HoHoHo set and have been watercolored with Tombow Markers and then popped up for a bit of dimension.  It's hard to see in the photo but I added a bunch of "Snow" at the bottom of the inside of the frame to make it look like a snowy ground. 

To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project using this week’s challenge and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (December 17th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

 

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the lookout to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

Growth with Eclectic Paperie

I've been having so much fun this month has the Guest Designer at Eclectic Paperie and this week is no exception. I often am inspired by designer paper which would explain my addiction... err... obsession with it. LOL!!! If you only knew how many 6x6 paper pads I have.  My Mind's Eye always comes out with fabulous designer paper and when I saw "The Sweetest Thing: Honey" I knew I had to snatch it up.  I absolutely love the color combos in this pad.

 

I decided to make two projects for this week with this fantastic paper. 

 

 

I enjoy making journals to give as gifts and thought that this paper combined with the Market Street Stamps set called "Growth" would be a perfect fit. I used a sketch (for the life of me, I can't remember where it is from) that I thought would highlight each aspect.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black.  The flower is from Maya Road and is called Vintage Gauze Blossoms.  I thought about using re-inkers to change the color of it but I chickened out. 

 

Here is my second project that I created using the same stamp set as well as the same papers.

 

 

I love how different each project looks.  I don't often create clean and simple cards but I think this DP called for it. I decided to change things up a bit for the card and used matting using Early Espresso cardstock.  The button I've used comes from the Basic Grey Plumeria Vintage buttons.

 

Thanks for popping by today :-)  I'll have another post shortly.

 

 

TSG129 Holiday Decor

Hey there everyone!!! Sorry about the lack of posting on my blog this last week.  My parents just got back from holiday so I've been spending time with them, working and well, just plain old hanging out.  My craft desk got neglected, hence so did my blog...

This week at There She Goes it's all about creating a holiday project!!! I had so many ideas and to be honest... so many alterables to choose from!!! Yikes!!! I am one of those people who always buy things to alter and then they just sit there...  But with this challenge, I was able to sift through them and I ended up using a K & Company photo 4x4x4 photo cube that I purchased at Michael's on clearance.  *** Sorry about the photo quality!!! It's late in the evening and I just can't get a good photo for the life of me***

For my project, I used almost all of the images from the TSG set called "Snowy Days" which is my favorite holiday set because of its' whimsical nature.  The DP I've used was MME, Echo Park, Crate Paper and Bella Boulevard.  (As you can see, there was no DP loyalty!!!). 

This side of the cube uses the snowboarding puppy that I've watercolored with my Tombow Markers.  The blue DP has been torn to create a snowbank and then using my Xyron I was able to add Dazzling Diamonds to create a glitter like effect (although it isn't showing in the picture).  I've fussy cut the snowboarding puppy and then popped him up on Dimensionals to make it look like he's making a jump. 

This side was also coloured with my Tombow Markers and then I added some Baker's Twine so that I could highlight the sentiment.  A clear rhinestone was then added to the snowflake.

Isn't he just so cute??? Love this little guy!!! I've watercolored the image with my Tombow Markers - easy peasy.  I then curved the sentiment on my acrylic block and stamped it in Basic Black.  I've never done this before but I'm sure I'll do it again!!!

I think this might be one of my favorite sides of the cute with all of its bling!!! LOL.  You know me and my bling!!!

I had so much fun creating my photo cube and can't to display it once all of my Christmas decorations get put out.  I'm itching to put them out now but the household has told me that it's way too early!! Grinches I tell ya!!! LOL.  (It's after Thanksgiving here in Canada so I'm in full get ready for Christmas mode).  I've always been a non-traditional girl when it comes to Christmas so this will be a perfect addition to my holiday decor.  I have a funky white Christmas tree and all of my decorations are hot pink, turquoise blue and lime green.  Love it!!!

We'd love for you to participate this week so head on over to the TSG blog to check out what the Trendsetters have made!!!

I like bling... a lot...

Hey there.... another quiet week on the ole blogarooni here... We have relatives visiting from England (they're on the mainland right now, therefore I need to get it all done today before going away for the weekend) so I've spent much of the week getting prepared by re-painting some of my parents furniture and realizing I may not be the best of painters, also decided to de-clutter our place.... Can you believe I got rid of 7 garbage bags full of clothes?  I'm still trying to get the rest of the house totally clean and finishing up some design team projects for next week's TSG sneak peeks.

In the mean time, I decided to show you all a necklace I made a couple of weeks back but hadn't posted to my blog yet.  Isn't it pretty?  I realize I need to find a better way to photograph jewelry because this pic just doesn't do it justice.  I love the idea of the two strands of beads as it gives the necklace more presence and it makes a statement. 

Well.... I guess I better get going here and finish all the cleaning.. yuck!!!

A little ribbon love...

Hey there everyone!!! Sorry about the lack of posting on my blog in the last week.  It's been a busy one and not much crafting time going on here.  However, I've decided to start going back to one of the first hobbies I ever had (and one of my first jobs)  which is making jewelry.  Believe it or not, I worked at a bead store for my first three years at university and once I quit there, away went the beads and the hobby totally died.  But lately, I've been trying to figure out new passions to expand my creativity.  You must be wondering why I'm rambling on and on and on... right?  Well, this week at the Ribbon Carousel Challenge, it's an "Anything Goes" week so I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to get out my newly acquired goodies and create!! 

Wanna see what I created for you lovelies today? 

And the best part is the ribbon!!! I've been on a yellow craze lately ( I swear I've worn yellow at least once or twice a week). I found these beads a few weeks ago and thought they'd make the perfect necklace. 

I made this fab lace flower as well!! Yeah me!!  I followed the tutorial for it that I found at the Tatertots and Jello blog that I discovered recently.

We'd love for you to participate in this week's "Anything Goes" at the Ribbon Carousel Challenge blog.  So head on over there to check out what the Carousel Crew has created this week for a bit of inspiration. 

TSG96 An act of Kindness

Hey there ladies!!! So did you enjoy our sneak peeks for the new release?  Aren't the new sets just fabulous!!!  If you haven't checked them out, make sure you check them out. On another note, this week’s challenge is brought to you by our Trendsetter of the Week, Piali at There She Goes! She wants us to stamp on something OTHER THAN CARDSTOCK! Pull out some ceramic tiles, metal, acetate, cardboard, textiles, etc. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Now I have to tell you, this had me thinking? No stamping on paper?  What's up with that?  I thought about making some tiles but then I'd have to go buy some, so I looked around my house and in my stash of goodies to alter and what did I find but this candle?  Have you ever stamped on a candle before?  So easy I tell ya!!! You stamp onto white tissue paper and then using your heat gun very carefully you basically melt the paper into the candle. For the image and sentiment, I've used the set called "Act of Kindness". I hadn't used it yet and thought this would be the perfect opportunity.  I think a candle like this would be perfect for a hostess gift or a simple thank you.  We'd love you to play along!!! Make sure you check out the TSG blog for more details....  don't forget that one lucky participant will win a $5 gift certificate to the TSG store and someone has the opportunity to be in the "Trendsetting Spotlight". 

Not only has TSG had a release this week, we're having an "Out with the Old" sale.  5 sets are on sale for a limited time - a great way to get some of those sets that you've been thinking about.

Have a great day!!!

TSG Sneak Peeks - Penguin Pals

TSG has a big announcement today and it has been soooo hard trying to keep it under wraps!!We are excited to tell you that TSG has joined up with Di Carubia (of Di’s Digi Downloads) to offer you exclusive TSG stamp sets that feature Di’s adorably whimsical illustrations!! For Di’s first TSG stamp set, she has illustrated these penguins that are too cute for words. They can also be combined with a variety of other images from the set for even more versatility and fun!! 

We're so glad you could join us today. If you just happened upon my blog, you'll want to go back to the beginning at the TSG Blog, otherwise you should have arrived from Alex's blog. 

I know for myself that this is a busy time of year and it's hard to keep organized... I like to call my life organized chaos. I can live it but I'm sure it would drive everyone else a little batty... LOL.  So to keep myself a bit better organized, I decided to decorate a journal I bought at Michael's in the $1.50 section.  It already had the great black and white stripes so I decided I didn't want to cover that part up.  Overall, it was a relatively quick and easy project.  I've watercolored the image with my watercolor pencils and then matted it on black cardstock and did the same thing with the Bo Bunny DP.  I then added some ribbon, a button, the sentiment and Voila... all done!! And ready to be thrown into my purse.

The next stop on the blog hop is the amazing Corinna!!! Her power has been out so I'm not sure if she'll be participating or not. 

Penguin Pals is a 4x8 stamp set that includes a total of 16 stamps and will sell for $18.

Would you like a chance to win the Penguin Pals stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Penguin Pals Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Penguin Pals stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (Nov. 27) during the Release Party Chat.

TSG Sneak Peeks - Wrapped in Joy and Just for You

Hey there!! Welcome to Day One of Sneak Peeks for There She Goes. We have some great sets to show you over the next few days and today's is just the tip of the iceberg. So grab a coffee, sit down and enjoy!!!  If you just happened upon my blog, you'll want to go back to the TSG Blog to start.  Otherwise, you should have come to my blog from Alex's. 

                                                   

One of my favorite things about the holidays is creating handmade projects for those that I love. But one thing to remember is that the packaging is just as important as the gift itself! Torico has done a beautiful job illustrating this tag set that can not only be used for the holidays but is versatile enough to use all year long!

Just For You is a 4x6 stamp set that includes a total of 15 stamps and will sell for $15. Isn't this tag set great?  I decided I wanted to cover a tin that I bought awhile back at Michael's. I love "prettifying" (yup - I made up that word) things to give them that extra touch.  Who doesn't love getting something that you know someone took the extra mile to make right? I covered the tin with some Echo Park DP and then at the top and bottom added brown grosgrain ribbon (I used red sticky tape to secure) and at the top I added what Kim Teasdale refers to as "dingle balls" .  I then stamped the main image in Versamark and Rose Red and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  I cut it out and added it to the tin. At the top of the tin, I've added a wooden snowflake to "top" it off.

We are so excited to share this stamp set with you today! When Torico first showed Jessica her ideas for this set, she was instantly smitten and to be honest, so am I!!! . The three little girls that are included in this set are absolutely adorable and you are going to love coloring in the accessory images that are included!!

I had so much fun making this card.  I bought the DP at a store called Home Sense (similar to TJ Maxx or Marshall's) but unfortunately I accidentally threw out the packaging so I don't know who made it.  I drew my color inspiration from the DP and I've watercolored the image with my Watercolor pencils.  I  sponged around the edge of the main image with Wheat Versamagic Ink. Each layer of DP has been dry embossed with various Cuttlebug folders.   The layout used is from this week's challenge at Sweet Stop Sketch (the twist to this week's challenge was to decorate the inside of the card - which I did do but forgot to take a pic of it).
Wrapped In Joy is a 4x6 stamp set that includes a total of 16 stamps and will sell for $15.

Would you like a chance to win the Just For You/Wrapped In Joy stamp sets? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Just For You/Wrapped In Joy Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Just For You/Wrapped In Joy stamp sets. The winner will be announced Saturday (Nov. 27 ) during the Release Party Chat.

The next stop on the blog hop is the amazing Corinna!!! I know she'll have some great eye candy for you!!

Let it Snow

WOW!!! It's been fun  as the Trendsetter of the Week over at There She Goes and today is Dollar Find Friday. I had so much fun making this sign for the door and can't wait to make a few more for loved ones.  I know they'll appreciate it. For full details on how to create the project head on over to the There She Goes blog.

Gift tags, card sets, bags, boxes, the possibilities are endless!! Have fun with this challenge and let your creativity soar!

I love making gifts for Christmas but not knowing how much time I will have this year, I've decided to make my own bags and tags.  I have a pile of alterables and I figured why not make a Kraft bag a little prettier right?  The DP is all from one of the Echo Park Christmas lines and the stamps used are from the new release, Snowy Days. This will definitely be my go to Christmas set.  I have watercolored the image with watercolor pencils and then sponged the edge with Wheat (Versamagic) and Crumb Cake (SU) - now when I look at the bag I wish I hadn't sponged the focal panel at all... Oh well... you live and learn right? 


To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a gift of some kind, then go back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post.

Celebrate the Journey

Celebrating the Journey...that's what I'd like my parents to do while they are on a 2 month adventure to Australia and New Zealand.  My mom always takes a journal with her while travelling so that she can write down her favorite parts or great stories etc.  So when I remembered that My Favorite Things has the set, Going Places, I had to have it!!!  I had hoped it would arrive on time for when I was Mercy's Guest Muse (I thought that the last sketch - MTSC89 would have been perfect for this set).  But as Murphy's Law goes.... it arrived a couple of days later....  Oh well!!!

I bought the journal from Home Sense (it's Canada's equivalent to TJ Maxx or Marshall's but it's all home furnishing etc) because I knew it would be big enough to hold a lot of memories. I've watercolored parts of the image with my Tombow Markers and then paper pieced the rest.  If you don't look closely, you won't noticed that I had stamped the map upside down.....  I guess that's what my mom will be like!!!  hehehehe....  The majority of the DP is from Thrift Shop - October Afternoon.  I really like how the journal turned out and just thought I'd let you know that my mom absolutely loved it!!! 

CDS Sneak Peeks - Winter Critters

Told you I'd be here today!!! It's Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek Time for the September 1st release.  I'm so glad to be back designing and creating after a two month break - oh how I've missed my Clear Dollar Stamps.  Laurie Wilson has hit it out of the park with her new set called Winter Critters.  I absolutely love the images from this set.
 

For my first sample, I decided to decorate this gift tin that could be used for a gift certificate or gift card, a piece of jewelry (hint hint honey..) or any other small item.  Believe me when I say you don't want to see my wrap a present (it's pathetic I'll admit).  I wrapped some ribbon around the bottom and added a bow with a button on the front.  The image has been watercolored with my Tombow Markers.  I really wanted to try to keep this simple. 

I have so many friends who love to read so I decided to make a Corner Bookmark.  They are so incredibly easy to make.  I think I'll be making a pile of these to put in stockigngs at Christmas this year.  I've watercolored the image with my Tombow Markers.  The DP is from Basic Grey (it's an old one from a few years ago).  Hope you like it!!!

Check out what the team has for you today: (please see sidebar for links)

TSG68 Dance

Dance.... this is one of my favorite sets from There She Goes.  It can be used for so many things and what I like most about it is that this quote is so inspirational.  Who couldn't help but smile when you read it?  It's a mantra we should all live by.  I've made this bookmark for this week's challenge at There She Goes and it was so much fun to make and talk about easy peasy!!! It's one of the corner bookmarks that we've all seen popping up lately on SCS and in blogland.  I've used Old Olive and Real Red for my cardstock and then the October Afternoon Thrift Shop DP.  The sentiment has been stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear detail embossing powder. With my Blossom Nestabilities Die still in place, I've sponged with Brushed Velvet and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks.  The leaves were created using one of the Flower Nestabilities dies which I have sponged around the edge with Old Olive.  So cute I tell ya- I've just popped this bookmark into the book I am currently reading. 

She's cute and loves her Cherries - Bellarific Friday

Isn't she just too cute?? Her name is Cherryblossom Bittybloom - it's my favorite Bittybloom from Stamping Bella.  As you know, I love my Bellas, Stellas, Bittyblooms so when I saw that Stamping Bella is looking for a new "Bella Babe" I thought why not throw my name into the hat?  And all you have to do to apply is participate in all of their Friday Challenges this month.  This week's challenge is Paper Piecing - and yes I have paper piecing on my card if you were trying to find it!!! (See the cherries??).  My BFF Kim and I were at Michael's recently and found these Kraft colored journals (they had different fruit all over them) so we each picked up a few to alter.  I wish I had more of them!!! But they're all gone now... I'd been waiting for this October Afternoon "Thrift Shop" DP to arrive in the mail for awhile now so as soon as I had it on my hot little hands, I HAD to use it. (the pink polkadotted paper and green polkadotted paper are from their "Fly a Kite" line.  I really think this DP matches the image so well - soft and airy and cute.  It's definitely girly that's for sure.  Cherryblossom Bittybloom has been watercolored with my Tombow markers and then I paper pieced a small bit of the pink polkadotted paper onto the cherries.  With my Spellbinder die in place, I sponged around the edges with SU Pink Pirouette ink.  Each of the layers of DP have been dry embossed using either Cuttlebug or Tim Holtz folders. 

Wouldn't this journal be cute for a little girl?  Hope you like it.  You'll be seeing more journals in the future from me (I have 10 of them if I remember correctly).

Have a great day!!!

I apologize for the lighting in my photo - it's the first day of rain here that we've had in over a month and I couldn't get a photo bright enough before heading to work.
