Mojo Monday 475

Is it really Monday already?! I was extra tired at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday. Not sure why but I needed a nap! It was so windy and cold here yesterday too, like 50mph winds, crazy! It even snowed a little last night! 🙁 Taylor did come up to the store to keep me company and make her grandfather a birthday card. I tried to work on some things and did manage to get a few things done but not as much as I had wanted to. Dinner with my Parents was good as always and after I stole a donut from them and came home and had a little coffee and watched some TV. The power keeps going out here for a second every so often lately, it’s getting really annoying! I think that I need to get a battery backup for my computer, not good to have it keep shutting off! Today I will finish up what I wanted to get done yesterday. Renee will be back in the store today, she has her Home Decor class today. 😀

I always look forward to Monday’s because it’s time for a new Mojo Monday sketch…

I used quite a few different products on my card for today! The base is Ivory 110lb Card Stock. My background is a piece of Classic Cherry with the Hero Arts Hand Drawn Snowflakes Bold Prints Background heat embossed in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder. The main panel is a piece of Prima Sweet Peppermint No Peeking 12×12 Paper backed with a piece of Rose Chintz. I heat embossed the Hand Drawn Snowflakes again onto a piece of Yellow with Hero Arts Silver Embossing Powder and flagged the right side. My greeting is from the Concord & 9th O Christmas Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Onyx Black onto another piece of Rose Chintz backed with a piece of Herb Garden. For my snowflake I used the Tim Holtz Paper Snowflakes Thinlit to cut out a piece of American Crafts Silver Glitter Card and adhered it to the card with  a 3D Foam Square. All that was left to do was to add a few Pretty Pink Posh Silver Sequins! It’s definitely an eclectic mix of goodies and not my usual style but I do like the way it turned out! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and see the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thanks you so very much for starting your week off with me! Have a magnificent Monday! 🙂

Holiday Grateful Leaves

What started off as a really nice sunny and warm day ended with some rain and a drop in the temps. I guess that the really nice weather that we have been having couldn’t last forever! The Stamp, Ink, Paper Store was so much fun yesterday and I had a great time with the ladies! My friend Elyse got four cards made and a new customer Julia bought the Lawn Fawn Kit! She said that she would have the cards made from the kit in time for the next card class! I look forward to seeing them! After work I stopped home for a bit and saw my Parents. At around 7:00 I headed over to George’s to see Heather’s new car! She got a Honda Accord in dark blue with grey interior. It’s a very nice car and handles really well! I spent the rest of the evening with her and Geroge and we had a lovely time! She had made chicken francaise for dinner and it was delicious! I shared a bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet with George, love that wine! Today Renee will be at her grandson’s birthday party so I will have the store all to myself in the morning. I plan to get lots of stuff done! Wish me luck! 😀

I was inspired the other day by a piece of patterned paper that I saw and this is the card the resulted from that! My card base is Ivory 110lb Card Stock. On the left side I adhered a piece of Photoplay Real Genius Stripe 12×12 Paper. My panel is a piece of Kraft that I stamped the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain Background stamp on in Soft Brown. The panel is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. My leaves are from the Grateful Leaves Stamp & Cut Combo and are stamped in Green Hills, Raspberry Jam and Tide Pool onto more craft. I used my Mini MISTI so I could double stamp each of the images and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The veins are heat embossed in WOW! Rich Pale Gold Embossing Powder. I heat embossed the greeting from the Hero Arts Holiday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set in more Rich Pale Gold onto a strip of kraft and adhered all of the pieces to the card with 3D Foam Squares. I love the way that leaves look stamped on the kraft, makes the colors look a little richer! I hope that you like my card for today! Thank you for coming by and I wish you all a simple Sunday! 🙂

Hi there! I hope that your weekend is off to a good start! I enjoyed day two of my Card Class at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! Danielle was in the night class and we ended up talking at the store until midnight! We certainly had a lot of catching up to do! Today Renee has a no-frills crop, I’ll get to spend some time with the ladies! Always a good way to start off the weekend!

Today I’m participating in a blog hop for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags hosted by Tracey McNeeley! I’m so happy to be a part of this along with the rest of the Where Creativity Meets Concord & 9th Design Team! You can find out more about the hop by clicking HERE! I understand that there are some giveaways so be sure to check it out!

For those of you that are regulars here on the blog you know that I’m a big fan of non-traditional Holidays! My tag today certainly fits within those parameters! I used the Concord & 9th Bags and Tags Dies to cut out a piece of Crisp Green and a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb Card Stock. From the piece of White I then die cut the speech bubble. My trees are and greeting are from the Concord & 9th O Christmas Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the trees and snowflakes in Lawn Fawn Merman, Plastic Flamingo and Sugarplum Ink onto the the white pieces and heat embossed the sentiment in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder onto the Crisp Green Part. The white pieces are then adhered to the Crisp Green with 3D Foam Squares, my hole reinforcement is adhered with Multi-Matte Medium and a piece of American Crafts Bright Pink Primio Twine is tied through the top. I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Amethyst, Lime Sorbet and Watermelon Sequins to finish it off! Like I said, non-traditional but bright and fun! I hope that you enjoyed my tag!

Freshly Made Sketches 263

I got a nice surprise at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday! My little buddy Daniel came by to see me with my Parents! We ran around the store and took rides in my chair! How I love that little guy! He told my Parents that I would be very happy to see him and he was right! Renee was off yesterday and I had my two Card Classes so it was a busy day! My friend Deborah stopped by the store and I made my card for today. After the night class I headed over to Heather’s for Thirsty Thursday with her and Stephanie. I stopped and picked up Wendy’s for dinner, not the best choice but it’s cheap and yummy! Today I have two more Card Classes and a lot of stuff to get done, but I do love every minute of it! 😀

My card that I have to share with you today uses some new goodies from Pinkfresh Studio and is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

freshly-made-sketches-263

The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and across the bottom half is a piece of Pinkfresh Studio Happy Things Doodle Border 12×12 Paper. I stamped all of my images and greeting from the Pinkfresh Studio Late Nights Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black using my Mini MISTI so I could double stamp them so they are nice and bold. I colored in some of the images with Copics and then used the Hero Arts Infinity Circle Dies to cut them out. A Memento Tuxedo Black Marker is used to edge the circles before I adhered them to the card with Fun Foam that I also cut out with the Infinity Circles Dies, the adhesive is some E-Z Runner. A healthy dose of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins and a little Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Glitter Pen and the card is done! I love the images from the Late Nights Stamp Set, so neat and different! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge! Thanks for coming by today to see me! Have a fantastic Friday! 🙂

Paper Players 321

Hi there! We had another lovely day yesterday! I completely forgot that I had a haircut yesterday morning until my iPhone reminded me! After my haircut I headed over to the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store and got busy checking in my Notions order. I received lots of fun new goodies including some Pinkfresh Studio Stamps and WOW! Embossing Powder, I can’t wait to play with that stuff! After work I came home and had a quick dinner and then Andrew came by. We continued working on our little project, hopefully we will finish on schedule! Today is the first day of this month’s Card Class featuring Concord & 9th! Looking forward to seeing my students! 😀

I have been making some kits at the Store and one of the Holiday Kits still available for purchase. I wanted to let you know about it before I offered it elsewhere! It features Lawn Fawn Stamps, Dies, Ink, Patterned Paper and an Acrylic Block. There are four examples included on a sheet in the kit and supplies to make a lot of cards! If you are interested in purchasing the kit you can click HERE. Below is a picture of the Kit including a list of all that is included!

Now on to today’s post which is for this week’s Paper Players Color Challenge

paper-players-321

My card all began with me wanting to use the new Concord & 9th Heartstrings Die! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card stock with the front covered in a piece of Hunter Green. I die cut a piece of Classic Cherry with the Concord & 9th Heartstrings Die. In the lower left corner I stamped the trees from the Concord & 9th O Christmas Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set in Hero Arts Silver Pigment Ink and did the same for the greeting across the bottom. A piece of Acetate is adhered to the back and then I used the large open heart from the dies set to cut out a piece of Fun Foam. That is then adhered to the panel with E-Z Runner. I added my Silver Pretty Pink Posh Sequins to the card and then adhered the panel over the top. The small heart from the die set is used to cut out a piece of Silver Glitter Card and I adhered it to the center of the heart with 3D Foam Squares. A few Pretty Pink Posh Lime Sorbet Sequins adhered randomly compete the card! I think that the Heartstrings Die Cut makes it look like love is shining down on the Christmas trees! Corny I know! LOL! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players Color Challenge! Thank you for coming by to visit me today! Have an interesting Thursday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 219

Yesterday flew by at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! It rained most of the day, sometimes poured but Angie, Renee and I were very productive! I got a few cards made and sent out a reminder email for this week’s Card Class. After work I came home, had dinner with my Parents and then Heather came by to get me so we could run to BJ’s and Target. I desperately needed creamer! LOL! I couldn’t get my usual Italian Sweet Cream and had to get Hazelnut on Sunday, I haven’t had a good cup of coffee since then! As soon as I got back I made a cup and remembered how much of a difference a good creamer makes! Today I have to get ready for this week’s class, I don’t think that Sue will be joining me, she has my friend John the Painter at her house. 😀

So it’s Wednesday, time for another Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge…

pcccs219-dt-sketch-11-15-2016

In Concord & 9th’s release this month they brought back an older set that I actually didn’t have and that’s what I used on my card today! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Crd Stock. For my background I used a piece of Kraft. I stamped the greeting in Hero Arts Black Ink from the Concord & 9th Let’s Chat Photopolymer Stamp Set and then wrapped some May Arts Natural Twine around the top and tied it in a bow. The panel is then adhered to the card with E-Z Runner and Fun Foam. My images are from the same set, the spoon is heat embossed in Hero Arts Platinum Embossing Powder into a piece of Galvanized Curious Metallic, the cup and saucer are stamped in Black onto some Ivory 110lb. I cut all of the images out with my Scissors and then stamped the coffee in Soft Brown, dried it with my Heat Tool and then stamped the latte heart in Versa-Mark and heat embossed it with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. The saucer and spoon are adhered to the card with E-Z Runner and the cup with 3D Foam Squares. I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Onyx and Sand Sequins and the card is done! I do love this set, well, the theme is related to coffee! LOL! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge!

SIP Challenge 74 – CAS Christmas!

Another lovely day! I’m starting to cherish them as I know they won’t be around for much longer! The Stamp, Ink, Paper store was great! Angie was there today, she has some vacation time to use before the end of the year. We all worked on projects and had quite the productive day! I got my Concord & 9th and it’s all checked in! I did play a little with some of it, love new goodies! After work I went over to my Brother’s and met my Parents there for dinner. Daniel and I played with his new birthday presents, he showed me how they all worked. I got home around 8:00 and did some stuff around the house and watched a little HGTV. I have so much to get done this week, there really aren’t enough hours in the day! 😀

Tuesday… it’s time for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge and we have a fun this week…

sip-theme-74-800

Clean and Simple Christmas! I used a Hero Set that I have had for a while! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the Hero Arts Hand Drawn Snowflakes Bold Prints Background Stamp in Hero Arts Soft Vanilla onto a piece of Solar White 80lb and adhered it to the card. A strip of Champagne Curious Metallic goes down the left side. My images are from the Hero Arts Origami Holiday Stamp & Die Combo Set. They are heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder onto more Solar White 80lb and then I used a Mini Ink Blending Tool to apply some Hero Arts Soft Brown, Red Royal and Charcoal Ink over the images. They are ten cut out with the Coordinating Dies and adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares. My greeting is from the Hero Arts Christmas Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Black in the lower right corner. I decided not to add anything else to keep it very clean!

Mojo Monday 474

Day two of classes with Eileen Hull at the Store was fun! The ladies really enjoyed their projects and she was an excellent teacher! I got a card made and my Parent’s and my friends Marissa and Sandy came by to visit! It was actually a really nice day here too, sunny and not too cold. On the way to the Store in the morning I had to stop by Heather’s and take some pictures of her furniture that she’s selling and send them to her and stop at Aldi to get some creamer. After work I had dinner with my Parent’s and Taylor, Sunday nights have become Chinese food night, I do love some Broccoli and Garlic Sauce! After that I came home and watched a little TV and then spoke to Danielle on the phone for a while. A quick trip to get gas and to Target to get some dog food for Winnie and I was done. Today I have projects to work on and my Concord & 9th order will be in! Loves me some Concord & 9th! 😀

Well, since it’s Monday that means that it’s time for this week’s Mojo Monday challenge…

mojo474

As you will see from today’s card I’m full on obsessed with the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags Set! LOL! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For my background I stamped the Hero Arts Holiday Florals Bold Prints Background Stamp in Green Fields onto a piece of Lemon Lime. Across the top is a strip of American Crafts Gold Glitter Card Stock. The coffee cup is from that set, the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags Stamp & Cut Combo. I stamped the cup in Grape Juice and the lid in Black, the Coordinating Dies cut them out. The cup is adhered to a piece of Crisp Green that I cut out the the Hero Arts Lia’s Joyful Tidings Tag Set with 3M Foam Tape. I adhered the ornament to the card with more Foam Tape. For my greeting I die cut the merry from the Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut Set from more Gold Glitter Card and two pieces of Solar White 110lb, they are adhered to each other with Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive. I heat embossed the Christmas in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder onto a strip of Solar White 80lb and flagged the left side. The greeting is then adhered to the card with more Foam Tape. I stamped the stars from the same set in Grape Juice and made one strip into a banner and cut the largest one out. The banner is tucked under the strip of gold across the top and the large one is adhered to the card with still more Foam Tape. A few Pretty Pink Posh Amethyst and Gold Sequins scattered about and a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen added to the large star and the card is finished! I really, really, really do love that coffee cup set, especially in purple! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge!

Freshly Made Sketches 262

It was a seriously windy day here yesterday, especially by the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! Had to be gusts up to 50 MPH! I made a few cards and got some other things taken care of. My list sometimes seems to never get any shorter, but I’m sure that we all feel that way! When I got to my Parent’s house Daniel was still there! I had a quick dinner and then he and I played for a while! He has the best laugh and boundless energy! I wish he would share some of that energy with me! LOL! After my Parents left to take him home I came to my house and watched a little YouTube, Friday night fun! Today Renee has a guest at the store teaching some classes and I have my little buddy Daniel’s 3rd Birthday party! That will be loads of fun! 😀

The card that I made at the Store is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

freshly-made-sketches-262

A super simple sketch indeed! My card begins with a base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the Hero Arts Hand Drawn Snowflakes Bold Prints Background stamp onto a piece of Kraft with some Hero Arts Soft Brown Ink and the panel is adhered to the card with E-Z Runner. Across the top half is a piece of American Crafts Gold Glitter Card that I adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My card and greeting are from the Hero Arts Kelly’s Warm & Cozy Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the card in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it in with Copics. My greeting is heat embossed onto a piece of Cosmic Grape with Hero Arts Gold Embossing powder. I cut them both out with Scissors and adhere them to the gold strip with 3D Foam Squares. A little scattering os Pretty Pink Posh Amethyst, Mossy Green, Raspberry and Gold Sequins Completes the card! I love that Hand Drawn Snowflakes Stamp and the simple car from the Warm & Cozy Set!

Fab Friday 100

I enjoyed my day in Manhattan yesterday as I always do! The train was late as it usually is but I got to read some of my book on the way in and enjoyed my time with Ella. I also wandered around a little before heading back out to the Island. Heather arrived in Florida with her luggage which she was quite happy about. Whenever she flies Delta they inevitably misplace it! I had dinner with my Parents and Taylor and then Taylor and I ran a few errands. I also got to spend a little time in the Stampin’ Galley and make my card for today! I miss the Stampin’ Galley! Today I’ll be back at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store, lots to do! 😀

To finish off this week we have a new Fab Friday Challenge for you…

fab-fri-100-11-11-2016

I went with a nice simple almost one layer card! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. All of my images and greeting are from the Concord & 9th Love You, Mean It Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the circles twice in Versa-Mark onto a piece of Solar White 80lb and heat embossed them in Gold Embossing Powder. The rest of the images are stamped in Hero Arts Grape Juice, Butter Bar and Mint Julep with the greeting stamped in Grape Juice. I adhered the panel to the card with E-Z Runner and Fun Foam and added some Gold Seed Beads and Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins to the card to finish it off! I love the simplicity of the card, the greeting is wonderful and I always love when I can use just one Stamp Set! I hope that you like my Design Team card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge!
