Fab Friday 31

Hello my blog peeps! How is everything going? Work was beyond irritating today. We had a presentation at one of our other offices. I had asked if there was a projector there and I was told there was, but when I got there, no projector! The day started off badly and just spiraled out of control from there. However, the day ended with some fun news. I became an uncle for the first time!! 😀 Happy birth day to Daniel Steven! Congratulations to my brother Jason and his wife Erika!!

Kind of cute, isn’t he?!

And today, wait… today’s FRIDAY!! Woo hoo! And it’s an extra good Friday because it’s Fab Friday! This week we have a sketch with a big tag on it…

I decided that since I bought the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies that I should really be using them more. My card today contains red and green for all of you traditionalists and some sequins for my friend Karen. The base of my card is Gumball Green Card Stock. My background is a piece of Crumb Cake that I embossed with the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Before I adhered it to the card I put a piece of Silver 1/8″ Ribbon around the bottom. My tag is cut from a piece of Real Red Card Stock. The JOY part of the greeting is cut out using the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies from Silver Glimmer Paper and the “to the world” is heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the Joy to the World Stamp Set. Another piece of Silver Glimmer Paper goes across the bottom of the tag and 5 Silver Sequins help add to the bling! Finally, some more Silver 1/8″ Ribbon is tied through the tag. There is a little something for everyone on this card: traditional Christmas colors, some Glimmer Paper, a few sequins, a touch of heat embossing and some ribbon. Thank you very much for stopping by today to see my Design Team card for this week’s Fab Friday sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what my talented Design Teammates have come up with and post your card in the gallery so you can be a Fab Fave! I hope you all enjoy your Friday as much as I know I will! 🙂

Fab Friday 30

If you are reading this post, it means I’ve successfully gotten up on time to be at the college for work at 6:45 AM. My usual commute time is 10 minutes but this morning it’s been extended to 45, which does not make me a happy person. Thus, my usual enthusiasm for Friday is at a lull today. Hopefully I’ll make it through the day and I’ll be able to post again tomorrow. Only time will tell. LOL! My apologies once again for yesterday’s mishap with my mixed up stamp sets. Thanks again to Mary for pointing it out!

There is one good thing about today, it’s Fab Friday! This week we have a timely fall color challenge for you…

The base of my card is Early Espresso Card Stock. To create the background I used my Window Sheet mask and I sponged some Crushed Curry onto Very Vanilla. It’s mounted to a piece of Crushed Curry and then adhered to the card base. My three ornaments are from the Christmas Collectibles Stamp Set and are stamped in Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Old Olive. They are all punched out with the Christmas Ornament punch and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Down in the right corner is the greeting from my new favorite stamp set, the Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped it in Old Olive and Cajun Craze. I really do like the sunburst effect and apparently I’m not the only one that likes the Endless Wishes set because it’s on backorder! Thanks very much for coming by today to see my Design Team card for this week’s Fab Friday color challenge. Be sure to stop by the blog and see what the other talented designers have come up with. Don’t forget to enter your card so we can see your take! Have a fabulous Friday!

Today is going to be the longest day of the year! I think I mentioned that I’m working from 8:00am until 1:00am tomorrow right?! Yesterday was another beautiful day, warm and sunny and then it rained briefly last night. Today we are supposed to get back to the fall feel temperature wise. I need to do some organization over the weekend. There is way too much stuff all over the place. What good things are you guys up to over the weekend?

Every other Friday means it’s time for the Fab Friday challenge. This time, we have a fun sketch for you…

Do you see the chevrons? I loves me some chevrons! LOL! My card base is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. The main panel is a piece of paper from the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack backed by a piece of Island Indigo. Some Cherry Cobbler punched out with the Chevron Border Punch is adhered across the panel. The greeting and stamped chevrons across the bottom are from the A Banner Christmas Stamp Set. The ornament is from the Best of Christmas Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo and punched out with the Christmas Ornament Punch. And there you have it, a nice simple card for a nice simple sketch. I appreciate you stopping by to see my Fab Friday card!

Fab Friday and a Fabulous Friday!

Hello my friends! How are you? I am fantastic! As you know I took a little trip on Thursday night. I was a somewhat evasive about my destination, just for a little fun. My trip took me on a Delta flight to Atlanta, GA. I came to visit an amazing friend of mine… Mr. Brian King! We spent the morning yesterday at Historic Banning Mills doing the canopy tour. We had a great time on the ZIp-Line tour, flying high above the trees (about 300 feet!). After some lunch we came back and spent some time in the Fungeon! Below are some pictures from the Zip-Line Tour…

Me and Brian!

There I am!

There’s Brian!

The view from the top!

Brian and me with our amazing and funny guides Ross and Tate!

I had an amazing day with my awesome friend, definitely a Fab Friday! Which brings me to today’s post which is for this week’s Fab Friday…

Do you see what I see… a window! The base of my card is Real Red Card Stock. I took a piece of Crumb Cake and used my Squares Collection Framelits Dies to cut out the window. The “scene” through the window is created using the Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set stamped in Soft Suede. I inked the stamp once and stamped it four times to give it some depth. Some Stampin’ Dimensional pieces adhere the window to the trees. The Wonderful Wreath Stamp is stamped in Always Artichoke and cut out with my Paper Snips. Yes, I have cut that wreath out a lot! I used my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker to color in the berries and a piece of “Vintage” Real Red 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon “tied” in a bow completes the wreath. The greeting is from the Joy to the World Stamp Set and is stamped in Always Artichoke and backed with a piece of Crumb Cake. I ticked the corners before I adhered them together. You can never have enough Christmas cards and I have a pretty good stash going already! Go and take a look at the Fab Friday Blog and see what fun creations my teammates have come up with. Thank you very much for stopping by to see my Fab Friday Design Team card and sharing in my fun adventures with Brian. Have a great Saturday! 🙂

Fab Friday 26

Woo hoo! You know what today is!! It’s FRIDAY! If I didn’t start my post off like that you would think you were in the wrong place! LOL! Work was very busy all week and office equipment tried to thwart my progress on numerous occasions. Let’s see if I can prevail today. I’m off to Manhattan tonight with my friend Heather to meet some peeps. It’s supposed to be fall like here today with summer making a comeback over the weekend. I’ll let you know about the festivities tomorrow!

It’s also time for another Fab Friday challenge. This week we have a fun color challenge for you…

Every once in a while when I see that there are five colors I panic a little but then I realized that all of these colors are in the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of the aforementioned DSP that I “ticketed” the corners on and backed with a piece of Chocolate Chip. The snowflakes are from the Festive Flurry Stamp Set and are stamped in Soft Sky and cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies. The tag is rounded at the top with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and “ticketed” on the bottom corners. A piece of Crushed Curry punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack is at the top with some Linen Thread tied in a bow. The greeting is from the Christmas Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip. I stamped the Cheer on a cut out from the Label Card Thinlits Dies, I like the 3D effect that it gives the greeting. All of the elements are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You know that I love a non traditional Christmas card and this one definitely fits the bill. It also has a little bit of rustic country feel to it. Thank you very much for checking in with me today to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for this week’s color challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what my talented teammates have done and enter your card in the gallery so we can see how clever you are! Have a very fab Friday! 🙂

Well, I’m a very happy boy today and you know why! It’s FRIDAY! Wee! This week at work has felt long and I will be glad to have some much needed craft therapy this weekend. I always feel so much better after I have made something, don’t you?! I don’t have any definite plans for the weekend so we’ll see what happens. It’s not like my house couldn’t use a little TLC! Before I get to today’s post I want to thank the lovely ladies over at Just Add Ink for choosing my card as their favorite for last week’s just add snowflakes. You can see the JAI post here and my original post here. 🙂

Today is also a great Friday because once again it’s time for Fab Friday! It’s also our 25th sketch! Thank you all for playing along! This time we have a simple sketch for you…

I do love a ticket and I noticed that the Halloween Bash Stamp Set came with one! The base of my card is Summer Starfruit Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper. I put it on upside and I am sticking with it’s so the bats can read it! (Thanks Sandy!) The greeting is from the Halloween Bash Stamp Set and is stamped in Pumpkin Pie and backed with a piece of Pumpkin Pie. Two thin strips of Basic Gray are embossed with the Needlepoint Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, it reminded me a little of Frankenstein! I mentioned the ticket and it’s stamped in Summer Starfruit and punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. I love the simplicity and the stamp set is great! Thank you for stopping by to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for our 25th sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog and take a look at all of the other great projects my fellow design teammates have for you. Don’t forget to enter one of your creations for us to see!

Ahh… Friday… finally! This week has been crazy busy so I’m so glad to get to the weekend! I plan on spending some quality time with my crafty goodness this weekend. It’s my therapy! Between work and lots to do after work I think I have gotten about 5 hours of sleep every night this week. I need a nap! LOL! How has everything been by you? I have nothing planned for the weekend so it should be a nice relaxing one. I’m having dinner with a friend this evening so that will be fun and a good way to start it off.

On a side note, I’m so glad that you enjoyed the Blog Tour and my “different” Back to School card! 🙂

Today’s post is for Fab Friday. This time around we have a fun soothing color combo for you…

Nice soft colors and a neutral! I’m having so much fun playing with the new Thinlits and all of the elements that come with them. There are so many ways to customize them it’s almost unlimited what you can do. My card today starts off with a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock that I cut out with the Circle Card Thinlits Die. I then used my Circles Collection Framelits to cut out the middle of the circle on the card and the piece of Pistachio Pudding that frames it on either side. All of the elements are from either the Circle Card or the Label Card Thinlits. I love the intricate detailed cuts that you get and who doesn’t like some arrows and chevrons! I suspended the xoxo on a piece of Calypso Coral Bakers Twine in the middle of the circle. The background for the inside is a piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the Off the Grid Stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe. It’s neat the way you can line up the stamp to make it cover a larger area (thanks Stamp-a-ma-jig). I really like the suspended element and the flip fold is fun! The Thinlits make it so easy to make an interactive card. Thank you very much for coming by to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for the color challenge. Click on over to the blog and see what my talented mates have come up with and enter your creation in the gallery. We love to see what you have done! I hope that you have a “fab”ulous Friday!!

Fab Friday and Still More Pics!

Wee! It’s Friday! And yes, I have a few more pictures from Convention. I promise, they are almost finished! I was supposed to go see my brother in Pennsylvania tomorrow but I have been told that he is coming up here so I guess that would be a little pointless. Instead, I’ll go and see my friend Kim in Manhattan, that will be loads of fun! So I was lucky enough to meet the wonderful Sarah Douglas. She is such a nice person and she gave some really informative demonstrations. Here we are on the night of the 25th Anniversary party…

She had a really nice dress on too and her little dimple is so cute!

And here is the Fab Friday Design Team. It was so awesome to meet everyone in person. The only one missing was Amanda, but she was on vacation so it’s all good! What a great bunch of people!

From left to right: Amy O’Neill, Jan Tinklenberg, Me, Brenda Myers, Mindy Backes, Pam Steckman, Cindy Beach, Wendy Weixler, Jason Casper and Marla Reed. 🙂

Now for today’s post. It’s Fab Friday! This week we have a sketch for you to play with…

Clean and simple, woo hoo! The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used a piece of So Saffron for the background and stamped the greeting from the Happy Day Stamp Set in Basic Black right on it. Up top I used the Tea Lace Paper Doily that I used for the mask on the card from Friday’s card. It was spritzed with Bermuda Bay Re-Inker from a Stampin’ Spritzer and I trimmed the top and side a little. In the middle is a piece of Bermuda Bay that I punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and embossed with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The flower are from the Secret Garden Stamp Set and are stamped in Bermuda Bay on “Vintage” First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper. I cut them out with the Secret Garden Framelits Dies and adhered them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A teeny Subtles Designer Series Button is adhered with a Mini Glue Dot in the middle of each one. I love the color combo and the “Vintage” First Edition DSP is still one of my favorites. Thanks so much for stopping by to see my Fab Friday Design Team Card for this week’s sketch challenge. Stop by the blog to see what my other creative team mates have done with the sketch and enter yours in the gallery so you can be a Fab Fave! Have a wonderful Friday and I’ll see you back here later for this month’s Control Freaks Blog Tour!

Fab Friday 22 & Sneak Peek

Hmm… let’s see what day is today?! Ahh yes… it’s FRIDAY!!!! My absolute favorite day of the week! Busy weekend ahead, block party with the peeps, major crafting to be done too! It was sort of gloomy here yesterday with the occasional rain shower. Today promises more of the same and maybe some for tomorrow too. Let’s hope not!

Today being Friday is made even more awesome because it’s Fab Friday! This time we have a color challenge for you…

When I saw the colors the last thing I thought of was a Christmas card but that’s what appeared! The base of my card is Basic Gray Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Tempting Turquoise with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The stamped Subway style greeting and the Basic Gray star banner are form the O Holy Night Stamp Set*. I Flagged the piece of Whisper White and ran a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper down each side. Across the top is a piece of “Vintage” Real Red 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon. I added some Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details for a little, well, sparkle! It’s a nice simple card with non-traditional colors that would be easy to make a bunch of for your holiday cards. Thanks for spending some of your Friday with me to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for the color challenge.

Fab Friday 21

Are you ready… here we go… it’s FRIDAY!!!! Wee!! Yesterday turned out to be a nice day for the golf outing. It rained a little in the middle of the day but cleared up so the golfers could finish. Dinner was great! As soon as we finished packing up it started to pour, glad it waited! I’m off to Manhattan tomorrow morning to see my friend Kim and then to Fire Island to visit some friends. A busy weekend, but a fun one.

Today’s post is my Design Team card for the Fab Friday Challenge. This time around we have a fun sketch for you…

Do you see what I see… a frame! We all know that I’m slightly obsessed with frames lately! The base of my card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. The middle of my frame is cut out with the Squares Collection Framelits Dies and filled with a piece of paper from the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper Pack. Before I adhered it to the card I put a pice of Brushed Gold behind it that I punched out with the Artisan Label Punch. The arrow, that I cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits, is also Brushed Gold. The greeting and the bird are from the Morning Meadow Host(ess) Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting in Basic Black and heat embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies to cut it out. The bird is also heat embossed in gold and cut out with my Paper Snips. I love the black, vanilla and gold together with the sahara, and the frame… well you know how I feel about that! Thanks very much for coming by to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for the Sketch challenge. Stop by the Fab Friday blog and see what other creations the talented designers have for you and enter your card in the gallery. Maybe you can be a Fab Fave and grab our new badge!
