    Yesterday was a day that I won’t soon forget! LOL! After almost 24v hours of travel I finally arrived in Salt Lake City at 5:30 and my wonderful friend Wendy picked me up from the airport. How awesome to see a friendly face right away! I have to say that even though it was a long process it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I met a very nice young man named Peter on the flight from NY to Austin and we chatted the entire flight. When we landed in Austin we got a cab and went to What a Burger to get some food. Went back to the airport and slept a little. He was on my flight to Long Beach too so it was great to have a friend to travel with. He headed off to LA from Long Beach but he said that he will come to NY one day and I’ll take him around and show him the town. Everything happens for a reason right?! Yes, it was a very long night/day but in the end it was all worth it! I have some pictures that I took from the plane to share with you…

    These are the mountains that we flew over on the way into Long Beach…

    And here is a shot of Long Beach on final approach…

    This was my view when I was having Lunch…

    Pretty neat huh?! I think that I will have to go back to Long Beach, it seemed like a very nice place to visit!

    Now on to my card for today which is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge…

    Mojo354

    Today’s card starts off with a base of Tangelo Twist Card Stock and the background is a piece of Pistachio Pudding that I embossed with the Tiny Triangles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next up is a piece of Whisper White that I stamped with the “Vintage” Film Strip Stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black. The panel on top of that is a piece of Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper backed with a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe. I stamped the Snapshot Stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black on Smoky Slate Card Stock and backed it with a piece of Silver Foil Sheet that I cut out with the Starburst Framelits. My greeting is from the Hip Notes Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on a piece of Strawberry Slush that I cut out with the File Tab Edgelits. I am loving the funky colors in the Confetti Celebration DSP and the pop of silver behind the camera is fun.

    So where do I begin? Well, lets start with where I currently am, I’m in Austin, TX. I know you thought I was going to Salt Lake City, me too. Everything went rapidly downhill around 5:15 yesterday when I got the notification that my flight from New York to Salt Lake City had been cancelled. I immediately called JetBlue to see what I could do about rescheduling. Andrew called from his phone and I tried other things on mine. We were on hold for and hour before I got to speak to anyone. When I finally got through I was told that all flights for Wednesday and Thursday were full and they could refund my money for my outbound flight. Umm… nope! I asked to speak to a supervisor and explained that it was very important that I got to Salt Lake City the latest Wednesday afternoon. She tried about 20 different scenarios of me leaving from various cities and connecting through all different ones. We finally settled on NY to Austin, 6 hour layover, Austin to Long Beach, CA, 6 hour layover and finally Long Beach, CA to Salt Lake City arriving at 4:30PM. Yes, it’s the longest trip ever to get from NY to Salt Lake City but I will get there. I have had about an hour of sleep, if you notice any errors in my post let me know! LOL!

    It’s Wednesday so that means I’m over on the Paper Craft Crew blog for this week’s sketch…

    PCCCS102 7-16-2014

    My card begins with a base of Basic Black Card Stock and the background consists of two sections. The one on the right is a piece of Crushed Curry Card Stock that I stamped with the Alphabet from the Tap Tap Tap Stamp Set in Crushed Curry. On the left is a piece of Flashback Designer Series Paper. The rest of the stamped images are also from the Tap Tap Tap Stamp Set. The notebook paper is stamped in Pool Party, the note flag is stamped in Real Red and for the typewriter I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black along with the greeting and colored it in using the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers. I really like the vintage feel of the stamp set and I think it pairs quite nicely with the Flashback DSP. I hope you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. Please take a minute to go over to the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done and enter your card in the gallery so we can see your take on the sketch. I’ll hopefully have a much better rest of my day today, only a few more hours and I’ll be In Salt Lake City!! Thanks for coming along on this journey! LOL! Have great day and may all of your travels be direct and quick! 🙂

  • SUO Challenges 101

    Today’s the day, or I should say tonight’s the night! If the weather cooperates I will be getting on a flight to Salt Lake City at 8:30PM. Andrew is going to come by today and spend some time with me and then take me to the airport. If all goes well I will land in Utah at 11:45PM. I did treat myself to a little upgrade to sit in the first row with some extra room and be the first one off the plane! I have a hotel by the airport for the first night, my roomie Brian arrives on Wednesday at 10:30AM. I’m going to meet my buddy Wendy for some breakfast and then head back to the airport to meet up with Brian! I’m very excited to go! Please weather cooperate! I did have a nice day yesterday. Got some crafting done in the morning and then Sandy and Heather both came by for some lunch. I ran some errands with Heather and then went over by her for dinner. We had New England clam chowder and grilled cheese with turkey bacon. After dinner we did a quick run to IKEA and it was pouring when we came out. We haven’t had rain in a long time so no complaints! I went back to Heather’s for a bit and then came home and assembled my new little storage drawer. All in all a good day!

    My post for today is for this week’s SUO Challenges. This time the theme is Bows, Bows, Bows! I’m not a huge bow fan but I do like them occasionally. My card was inspired by one that I saw on Pinterest. The inspiration card used a die to cut out part of the greeting and we don’t have one like it. No worries, I used my handy e-cutter! My card begins with a base of Sahara Sand Card Stock. I used my e-cutter to cut out the you from a piece of Lost Lagoon. On the top of the panel is a piece of paper from the Midnight Designer Series Paper Stack. Under that is a strip of paper from the Gold Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack. Before I adhered the panel to the card with lots-o Stampin’ Dimensionals I tied a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Baker’s Twine in the required bow around it. The banner is created with the Bitty Banners Punch and the “Vintage” Sans and Stripes Alphabet Photopolymer Stamp Set stamped in Calypso Coral. Some more Stampin’ Dimensionals hold the banners in place. I love the colors together and the layout of the card is just fun! I really hope that you enjoyed my card for the SUO Challenges Bows, Bows, Bows challenge. Stop by the BLOG and see what my fellow design Team members have created and enter one of your projects in the gallery. I appreciate your visit and if all goes well I will be blogging from Utah tomorrow! Have a great day my friends! 🙂

  • Paper Players 204

    It’s the best Monday ever! Why you ask… I’m off from work today! I also was super productive yesterday and got almost all of my projects finished! I also worked on the apartment a bit more. I had planned to relax a little but the night got away from me as it usually does. I have to say that spending a good part of the day crafting is ok with me. I also got to Skype with my friend Wendy for bit! That was lots of fun! Sandy is supposed to stop by for lunch today and I’m hoping to see Andrew at some point. He is taking me to the airport tomorrow, such a good guy!

    In the midst of my crafting today I made my Paper Players card for this week’s color challenge from LeAnne…

    Paper Players #204

    I definitely had to think about this one for bit but I finally came up with something and managed to use no white or vanilla card stock! Don’t be afraid! LOL! The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss Card Stock. I took a piece of Wisteria Wonder, trimmed it and the used the Stars from the Hearts & Stars Mask to apply some embossing paste to it. Next up is another piece of Blackberry Bliss that I cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits and heat embossed a stamp multiple times from the Be the Star Stamp Set in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. My stars are Lost Lagoon and are all cut out using the Stars Framelits. I popped them up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the one in the middle has a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper that I punched out with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. My greeting is from the A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set and is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Mossy Meadow. I flagged the ends and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. A funky card for a funky color challenge. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players color challenge from LeAnne. Thank you for checking in and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for my SUO Challenges card! Have a magnificent Monday! 🙂

  • Rhinestone Sunshine

    Well, I had a nice productive day yesterday, I didn’t get all of the things on my list done but I did get a bunch of other organizing around the house stuff done. Andrew stopped by for a bit last night and helped me put up some towel bars in the bathroom and other various little loose ends. I got my Vintage New York City pictures up too! here they are…

    LR City Pics

    The neat little strip of lights across the ceiling I picked up at BJ’s. They can change to all different colors and strobe and do all sorts of neat things. You can dim them too which comes in handy for watching a movie! We relaxed and talked for a bit and then he had to go and help his dad. I did manage to get a haircut yesterday too, now that my hair is short agin I need to go a lot more often, which is better than the alternative! I did get to relax for a bit last night and slept in a little but today I need to kick it into high gear! Lots to get done! I would like to not have too much to do on Monday and Tuesday I’ll pack. 🙂

    The last card that I made last night after Andrew left is the one I’m posting today. It’s funny how sometimes I can spend some time with a person and then as soon as they leave I have an idea for a card. I guess it’s a reflection of how I feel at the time and I need to get it out! LOL! The card begins with a base of Pumpkin Pie Card Stock, which was actually the last thing the I choose. That seems to happen a lot lately, the base get picked last. The main panel is a piece of Whisper White, remember that stencil that I made a while back, I used that and sponged on some Daffodil Delight.I sponged another piece of Whisper White and stamped the face from the Ray of Sunshine Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I used my Real Red, Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Markers to color in the face and punched him out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. A piece of Pumpkin Pie is cut out with the Starburst Framelits and backs the face before I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Pumpkin Pie. I thought he could use a little sparkle so I randomly placed some Basic Jewels Rhinestones on the rays. A simple card that is sure to brighten anyones day! I hope you enjoyed my happy card for today. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to come and visit! Have a great Sunday peeps! 🙂

  • Pals Paper Arts 211

    I don’t think words can describe how good it feels to be done with work for an entire week. Today was a great Friday too! I got to run some errands and see a friend on one of them. I had a nice chat with an old friend when I got home and then spent a little time in the craft space. I also had another pretty neat suggestion for the name of said craft space… the stamping galley. What do you think of that? I kind of like it! Still have some time to get your suggestions in! I’m in for a busy weekend, but it’s supposed to rain here on Sunday so that will definitely make getting my stuff done easier because I won’t want to be outside!

    Last night I sat down and did my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color challenge…

    PPA 211

    When I first looked at it I thought nautical but then I changed my mind! The base of the card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock. I stamped the flowers from the Hello Darling Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight on Whisper White and adhered the panel to the card base. The front panel is Night of Navy and I used the Window Frames Collection Framelits to cut out the center. Around the cutout I used the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce a nice border. My greeting is also from the Hello Darling Stamp Set and is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold the panel in place. I used some Basic Jewels Pearls in the flower centers and then some randomly scattered in the lower left corner complete the card. I am really enjoying the Hello Darling Stamp Set, the greeting is great and so are the images! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge. Your visits make my days complete and I appreciate that! Have a super Saturday my friends! 🙂

  • Freshly Made Sketches 144

    An extremely happy Friday to you my friends! It is my last day of work for a whole week! The best part, next week I will be in Salt Lake City for Convention! I’m going to try and sneak out a little early today too, gots to get my stuff done! I had a nice evening last night. I ran to DSW with Heather and then went back to her house so she could pack. She is going to Boston for the weekend with her boyfriend. After that we came back to my house and she helped me organize the apartment a bit more. Little by little it’s getting done and is almost finished! Yeah! There are some things that I would like change and will in time. Our project for this evening was my glass cabinet that houses all of my Hard Rock Cafe glasses that either I have bought or someone else has brought back for me. I have quite a few! Productivity feel so good!

    My post for today contains my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Karren…

    Freshly Made Sketches #144

    I don’t usually like to use a “busy” Designer Series Paper for the background but I actually really like this one! My card begins with a base of Whisper white Card Stock and I used a piece of paper from the Gold Soiree Designer Series Paper Pack to cover the entire card front. A piece of Garden Green is embossed with the Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered to the base. The stamped images are from the Hello Darling Stamp Set. My doilies are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Calypso Coral, then punched out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sequins are heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Whisper White. My greeting is from the Good Greetings Stamp Set (from the upcoming Holiday Catalog) and is stamped in Calypso Coral. I used my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker to color one of the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons and tied a piece of White Baker’s Twine in a bow before adhering it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. I love that we have a sequin stamp and how cool does it look heat embossed in Gold?! Did you enjoy today’s card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge? Let me know by leaving me a comment! I really love having you come by to see what I’m up to and I wish you all a stupendous Friday! 🙂

  • Mojo 353

    Only today and tomorrow left at work. It’s a good thing too because work was a little irritating today. Sometimes it’s nice to be appreciated for the things that you do that aren’t your job (which encompasses most of my day) and I do a lot of those. Needless to say today I had one of the unappreciated moments. Like I said, two days left! Luckily I didn’t have much going on last night so I was able to have my craft therapy for a good 3 hours! Heather stopped by around 10:00 for a bit and I was up way too late again, oh well! LOL! How is your week going?

    One of the cards that I made last night is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge…

    Mojo353

    That Julee Tilman comes up with some really great sketches! I used one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog, one of the images that I haven’t used yet! My card for today starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock and the background is a piece of Blackberry Bliss that I embossed with the Large Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next up is a piece of Gold Foil Sheet. The strip of paper going down the right is from the Back to Black Designer Series Paper Pack and I used some more Gold Foil Sheet that I punched with the Scallop Edge Punch along the right side. For the square I used the Squares Collection Framelits and my little marker trick with the Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker. I ran it though the Big Shot again with the Circles Collection Framelits to notch out the lower right corner. The flowers on the square and the greeting are from the A Happy Hooray Stamp Set and are stamped in Blackberry Bliss. I punched the greeting out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch and tucked it into the square. I like the way it lets what’s behind it peek through and the Back to Black DSP is great! I do hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and thank you very much for spending some time with me today! Enjoy your Thursday and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for my favorite day of the week! 🙂

  • Paper Craft Crew 101

    Wow! It’s already Wednesday! This time next week I will be in Slat Lake City Utah! I will get to see my buddy Brian and all of the other wonderful people! I have so much to do before I go but it will get done. Positive thinking right?! Yesterday was another warm and muggy day and we had some thunderstorms last night. I went to my Friends Brian and Kim’s for dinner with Heather. Always a great time. We even had the fire pit on for a while. I came home and made my card for the Paper Craft Crew challenge. Sometimes my best crating is done late at night when I clearly should be thinking about going to bed!

    And here is the sketch for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge…

    PCCCS101 Sketch 7-09-2014

    As soon as I saw the sketch I knew exactly what I was going to use! The base of my card is Calypso Coral Card Stock. I used a piece of the Gold Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper for the top part of the background and the the bottom is a piece of Old Olive that I embossed with the Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A piece of adhesive cork goes across to hide the seam and some Gold Sequin Trim that I separated is adhered on top of that with Multi-Purpose Glue. The flowers are from the I Like You Host(ess) Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers. I used the Circles Collection Framelits to cut it out. The greeting is heat embossed in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and is from the Hip Notes Stamp Set. Both the circle and greeting are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Gold Foil Sheet is cut out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and a few more Gold Sequins complete the card. I really love that DSP, it’s nice and shiny and the patterns are great! There is my late night card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog and check out what the other designers have come up with for the sketch and enter your card for a chance to be one of our featured designers! I hope you enjoyed the card and I appreciate you stopping by today! Have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

    That seemed like a long Monday to me! I am very achey and that’s probably why. Work was pretty good, not a lot going on. I did get to see little Daniel for a bit, he does like a selfie! I can’t stand how cute he is!

    I love the way he holds on to my necklace, thankfully it’s a strong chain! LOL! I also had card class last night and it’s always good to see everyone. My friend Melissa came and brought Dunkin’ Donut Munchkins, of which I had twelve! They were so good I just couldn’t stop! LOL! The blueberry cake ones are the best!

    Speaking of my Pals card this week they have a great color challenge…

    PPA 210

    Love the blues with the gray! It’s been a little while since I used a tag and a few days since I used the Star Framelits! LOL! My card starts off with a base of Basic Gray Card Stock. The background is a piece of paper from the Flashback Designer Series Paper Pack. A strip of Poll Party goes across the lower half of the card and I used the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on it, it matches the DSP so well! The tag is Very Vanilla and made with the Angled Tag Topper Punch. The larger stars are Lost Lagoon, I heat embossed the greeting from the Be the Star Stamp Set in Pool Party on the largest star. The smaller ones have the middles punched out with the star from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and then are cut out with the Star Framelits. A few more stars are punched out from Silver Glimmer Paper. Some Multi-Purpose Glue holds the smaller stars in place and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the large star and the tag. A piece of “Vintage” Pool Party Thick Baker’s Twine is tied through the hole in the tag and a few dots of Multi-Purpose Glue hold the loose ends in place. I really do love the colors, blues are definitely my favorite and the DSP is great! I hope you enjoyed my late night card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge. Thanks for checking in and enjoy your Tuesday! 🙂
