1600!!

So today is a little bit of a milestone for me! I started blogging back on August 6, 2011 and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I get to share my days and creativity with some of the most amazing and kind people in the world! You all tell me that I get to inspire you but you also inspire me every day with your kind comments and little “chats” that we have! I had no idea that I would make this a daily part of my life when I started but I’m so glad that that is what it has become! Blogging for me, making a card and sharing some of my life and adventures, has become as routine as brushing my teeth! I look forward to making my card and then typing the post every day. The best part of it all is reading the comments! And I have responded to every comment since the start and have made some wonderful friends in the process! And as you have seen in the title of today’s post it’s my 1600th! That is just crazy! So I want to thank you all for coming along on my little journey and I look forward to the next 1600!

Yesterday was a good day! I stopped at Heather’s for lunch again, those panini’s are just too good to pass up! From there I headed over to Scrap-A-Latte to chat with Renee and prepare for class. Danielle stopped and got us some Blaze Pizza for dinner, her first time halving it and she loved it! Class was great as it always is and I got to catch up with Danielle which was awesome! On the way home I stopped at Heather’s again and had a glass of wine with her and Stephanie, what better way to end the day?! This afternoon I’ll head back over to the store for the second night of Card Class, can’t wait!

My card that I have for you today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge…

I’m not gonna lie, I was a little stumped by this one! After some playing around I finally came up with something that I liked! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles to cut out a piece of Tempting Turquoise and adhered it to the card a little over to the left and top with SNAIL. Next up is a piece of paper from the Crate Paper Kiss, Kiss 6×6 Paper Pad, it’s cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Squares and adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. My two hearts are cut out using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Heart Stackables from Melon Mambo and Real Red. The larger is adhered with SNAIL and the smaller with Foam Tape. I used the Simon Says Stamp Scribble Heart and Arrow Craft Dies and the Lawn Fawn Scripty XOXO to cut out some Black 110lb and adhered them both to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. Over the arrow is a Melon Mambo heart punched out with the EK Success Small Heart Punch and it’s adhered with Foam Tape. For a little sparkle I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Aquamarine, Marshmallow, Pink Peonies and Raspberry Sequins. I do think that the card is neat and would make a great Valentine or even a just because I love you card! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players color challenge! Thank you sooooooo much for coming by today to celebrate my 1600th blog post too! Have an absolutely amazing Friday! 🙂

SIP Challenge 28 – Anything But Christmas!

It was a little chilly here yesterday and then it rained last night. I would like the 60 degree weather back now please! My day was nice and quiet. I was in the house most of the morning crafting and FaceTiming with Andrea. Taylor stopped by to take a nap on my couch and then in the afternoon I ran over to see Sue for a bit. She surprised me and got me a 2016 Sam Smith calendar! That was very nice of her, love it! After I left Sue’s I had some dinner at my parents with Taylor and then I came home and watched some TV. It’s supposed to rain here most of the day today and I’m going to head over to Sue’s again so that we can make some ornaments!

Today it’s time for the last Stamp, Ink Paper Challenge of 2015! I’m pretty much over Christmas and I’m sure that you are too so this week we have an Anything but Christmas theme…

I had some fun with a new stamp set from The Ton! The base for today’s card is Ivory 110lb Card Stock and the background is a piece of Recollections Adhesive Cork. I stamped another piece of Ivory 110lb with the Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Backdrops Photopolymer Stamp in Simon Says Stamp Stone Ink and then used the Simon Says Stamp Large Tags Craft Dies to cut it out. A piece of Hemptique Natural Hemp Cord is tied through the top and I adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. The first part of the greeting and the coffee cups are from The Ton Hug in a Mug Photopolymer Stamp Set and are both stamped in Versa-Fine Onyx Black Ink. I stamped the latte art in Hero Arts Cup O Joe Ink and then used my Copics to shade it and add the dots. The final part of the greeting is cut from some Early Espresso using The Ton Coffee Word Die and adhered to the bottom right of the card with Multi-Matte Medium. You know how I feel about coffee so this is an awesome set and I love the way that the latte art looks with the Copics! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! The rest of the Team has some really great cards to inspire you over on the BLOG so go over and check them out and be sure and join us! Thanks a latte (get it?! LOL!) for stopping by today!

NYC Coffee Ornament

Yet another fun day at The Ink Pad! There was a steady flow of customers all day and one of them just happened to be Julianne Moore! Talk about nice! Such a sweet lady and just as amazing in person as she is in the movies! Anna and I had some Hummus & Pita Co. for lunch and it was quite tasty, for dessert some Starbucks! Still loving that Holiday Spice Flat White! I also got myself a Starbucks Christmas ornament, the black and gold one! See isn’t it nice…

I love the NYC on it! I also managed to stay awake on the train on the way home and got off at my correct stop! Upon arriving home I had a little crafty time and then watched some TV. I’m back in the city again tomorrow to see my friend Isabella for a bit!

My crafty project for last night was another ornament, I know, I’m a little obsessed, but they are so much fun to make! The backing for this one is Ivory 110lb Card Stock that I cut out with the Papertrey Ink Basic Backer Die. Another piece of Ivory 110lb is cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Nested Circles Craft Dies. The skyline is cut form Black 110lb Card Stock with the My Favorite Things Die-namics New York Skyline Die and then again with the Nested Circle for a perfect fit. The greeting and coffee cups are form the Lawn Fawn Love You A Latte Photopolymer Stamp Set, I stamped heat embossed the greeting with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Vellum also cut out with the Nested Circles and the coffee cups are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. I added some Uni-Ball Gold Gel Pen and Sakura Black Glaze Pen to the black cup and a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the red one. I adhered the greeting to the rest of the layers with Multi-Matte Medium and the cups are adhered with Foam Tape. A sprinkling of some Gold Chunky Glitter before I used more Multi-Matte Medium to adhere the ornament half and it’s finished! Here’s a little peek at what it looks like before it’s all put together!

It’s so much fun to put together all of the things for the ornaments and they really do look so cool hanging on the tree! I hope that you enjoyed my ornament for today! Thank you so very much for your visit today! Have an awesome Tuesday everyone! 🙂

Winter Wonderland Ornaments & The Ink Pad Tags Class!

Sunday… the day of… rest?! Nah! I had a restful Saturday instead. I got my laundry done and did some crafty things, snuck in some TV. I love when I watch a movie and it makes you think, and not what you would expect to think about either. Anyway, today I’m off to Manhattan to hang out with Barbara at The Ink Pad. It’s going to be another chilly day, only in the 40’s! Where did those 60’s go?! They say they will back in a few days and I’m looking forward to their return! What’s on for you today?

My project that I have to share with you today is another ornament, this time a shaker! I cut some Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the Papertrey Ink Scene It: Basic Backer Die. The background is a piece of Black 110lb Card Stock cut with the Papertrey Ink Scene It: Skyscapes Dies. I adhered it to the backer with Multi-Matte Medium. Another piece of Solar White 110lb is cut out with the Sizzix Circles Framelits. I cut it in a little less than half and then stamped my greeting from the Hero Arts Winter Scene Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black. My skyline is cut out of some Silver Glimmer Paper with the Mama Elephant Cityscape Creative Cuts and also adhered with Multi-Matte Medium. I added some Martha Stewart Chunky Glitter and then adhered the ornament half to the backer with more Multi-Matte Medium. A piece of Hemptique Black & White Baker’s twine tied through the top give me something to hang it on my tree with! I really do love making these ornaments and the Scene It Dies make is super easy! I hope that you enjoyed my ornament, they are fun to make and I hope that you will try one!

One more thing before I go! I keep forgetting to post the tags that we made in my Tags Class at The Ink Pad last Wednesday! So here they are!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 174

Yup, another nice day here again, in the 60’s! This is the best December ever! LOL! I was at Scrap-A-Latte for the day working on crafty things and cutting out some Lawn Fawn Santa Pillow Boxes for Renee. My friend Paul stopped by to visit for a bit, I FaceTimed with Andrea and got speak to Michael for a while! Angie got there around 5:00 to prep for her tags class and we chatted for a bit. Cara came by to refill her selection of chocolates that are for sale for the holidays. I had one of the chocolate covered mini Oreo packs and it was delicious! When I got home I had some dinner at the ‘rents and then came home and finished prepping for my tags class tonight at The Ink Pad. I’m off to Manhattan bright and early this morning to go and see my friend Isabella, have some lunch with Kim and then chill at her apartment until it’s time to head downtown for class. A busy but fun day ahead!

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

I love the Winter Alpaca Mini Set and Die from Lawn Fawn so I decided that he would be perfect for today’s card! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb and I used the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrops Photopolymer Stamp Set and some Simon Says Stamp Fog Ink to stamp the snow. A strip of the Lawn Fawn Let’s Bokeh in the Snow 6×6 Paper goes down the right side and is also used for my panel. I stamped the greeting from the Lawn Fawn Winter Alpaca Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black and then adhered the panel to the card with SNAIL and Fun Foam. The Alpaca is from the same set and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with My Copics. I cut him out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts Die and then adhered him with Foam Tape to a piece of Solar White 110lb that I stamped with the snowflakes from the same set again in Fog Ink. The rest of the greeting is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and the ends are flagged. Some Foam Tape adheres it and the snowflake that is cut out using the Lawn Fawn Small Snowflakes Lawn Cuts. A little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen on his scarf and the card is done! Like I said, I love that little Alpaca and the greeting is really cute too! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge! Stop by the blog and check out the rest of the Design Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery!

Merry Snowman Ornament

Another gorgeous day in Manhattan! It was in the low 60’s and just warm! I got in early, walked don’t from Penn and went to Starbucks and had a Holiday Spice Flat White and it was delicious! From there it was off to Apple for My Genius Bar appointment for my iPhone. The guy that helped was really good and in the end they swapped out the phone for me! It took the better part of the day to put everything back and hopefully my battery issue is solved! Hanging with Anna and Barbara was fun as always and dinner last night was really good! We were joined by Seth Apter who is a really nice guy! Today I’m going to try and get through some more of my to-do list! Wish me luck! LOL!

The project that I have to share with you today is one that I have been seeing a lot of lately, ornaments, so I decided to give one a try! The base for the ornament is Soft Sky Card Stock cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circles. Across the lower half is a piece of Solar White 80lb that I cut with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders. All of the images are from the Lawn Fawn Ready, Set Snow Photopolymer Stamp Set and they are all stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, except for the tree and that is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Green Leaf. I used my Copics to color in the snowmen and then used the Coordinating Lawn Cuts Dies to cut them all out. Before adhering them to the background I stamped some snowflakes in Hero Arts Tide Pool Ink and stamped the greeting from the Lawn Fawn Trim the Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black. Santa and the sleigh and the tree are adhered with SNAIL and the snowmen with Foam Tape. I brushed the tree and the snowmen with some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen and then adhered the ornament half to the background with Multi-Matte Medium. A piece of Lawn Fawn Green Sparkle Lawn Trimmings Cord tied to the top and my ornament is ready to hang on my tree! I had fun making this project and will definitely make some more! I hope that you enjoyed it and are inspired to try one yourself! Thank you for coming by today, I wish you all a super Sunday! 🙂

Mojo Monday 427

Oh Monday, here you are again! LOL! I really enjoyed my weekend and hope that you did too! I worked on some projects yesterday and watched a movie in the evening. Even I like to have a day that is just kind of relaxed every once in a while! Today I’m going to go over and see my friend Sue. We are going to work on listing some stuff on eBay. I cleaned out the Stampin’ Galley and now I need to get the boxes out of the kitchen! I will also work on finishing up the rest of the tags for my class at The Ink Pad next week!

The start of the week… well that means the it’s time for another Mojo Monday sketch…

Oh, I love that little round tag! My card starts with a base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My background is a piece of paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day 6×6 Paper Pad. I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Squares Dies to cut out four pieces of Real Red to create the window look on the card. Across the bottom is a piece of Soft Suede that I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders dies on and adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. My tag is a piece of Solar White 110lb that is cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tags. I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Season’s Tweetings Photopolymer Stamp Set, the birds and greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black and the Branch in Hero Arts Cup O Joe Ink. The birds are colored in with Copics and adhered to the tag with Foam Tape along with the branch and greeting. I added a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the ear muffs and scarf on the birds and tied a piece of Silver Sparkle Lawn Trimmings Cord thought the top. A piece of Magnet Tape holds the tag to the card so that way the recipient has the option of removing the tag and using as an ornament! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Head on over to the blog and check out the rest of the team’s card and enter your one in the gallery!

Merry City Shadow Box

It was a busy day at The Ink Pad yesterday! It was also Anna’s Birthday and I didn’t find out until I was standing on the platform waiting for the train! So a belated Happy Birthday to Anna! One of the best parts about hanging out at The Ink Pad is all of the interesting people that you get to meet! I guess I’m a people person because I talk to everyone! I even got to call Grace and let her know that her things that she ordered were ready to ship out! When I got home I had a quick bite to eat and then decided that it was time to get this project out of my head. It took a little longer than I thought it would, about 2 1/2 hours! It was also very hard to photograph! I have been trying since last night to get a good picture and I still don’t love the way it looks. It’s so much cooler in person! It’s my project to share with you today!

Coincidentally, I checked the Paper Players to see what this week’s challenge is and it’s Let it Snow! Well I guess that my project works for that! Yay! Here is this week’s Paper Players challenge badge…

I used to do a lot of 3D projects and I haven’t done one in a while. I had an idea for a shadow box using the city scene die and some Acetate so here goes! The base of the box is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I cut it to measure 5 1/2″ wide by 11″ long. It’s scored at 1″, 5″, 6″ and 10″. Two more 5″ pieces are scored at 1/4″ and 4 3/4″ or there about! I used the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle to cut out the windows in all three of the pieces. The background is a piece of Basic Gray that I cut out using the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrops Lawn Cut. My city silhouette is cut from Black 110lb Card Stock using the My Favorite Things Die-namics New York Skyline Die and it’s scored along the bottom at 1/4″ too. The white pieces with the windows cut out have Acetate adhered to the back. On the inside window I adhered some more White 110lb that I cut out using the Lawn Fawn Small Snowflakes Lawn Cuts using Elmer’s Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive. The greeting is cut from a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper with the Simon Says Stamp Merry & Bright Die and also adhered with Spray Adhesive to the outside window. To assemble the box I used Scor-Tape on all of the folded edges and adhered them one by one. Trust me, it looks so much cooler in person! I think that I should have either made the city scape lighter or the background! Anyway, I hope that you enjoy today’s project and that you are inspired to try something a little different! Thank you so much for sending some of your Sunday with me! Enjoy the rest of your day! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 172

Hey there! Do you have all of your festivities planned for Thanksgiving? Will you be going Black Friday shopping until the wee hours of the morning? The answer to both of those questions for me would be no! LOL! I’m not a huge fan of lines and I’ll be going next door to Mum & Dad’s for Thanksgiving. Yesterday was a little colder here than it has been. I played in the new and improved Stampin’ Galley for a bit in the morning and then ran over to see Renee and Angie at Scrap-A-Latte for a little bit before coming back home and spending a little time with little Daniel. After dinner I headed over to Heather’s and we ran to Target and then back to her house for an early Thirsty Thursday! Brian and Patty even came! Always a good time when spent with my peeps! Today I’m going to try and get some serious creative time in and get some on-line things done! It’s supposed to be in the 60’s here on Thursday so I plan to enjoy some outdoor time then!

It’s mid-week so I’m back over on the Paper Craft Crew for this week’s sketch…

I used a whole bunch of different products on today’s card! Love when you can mix things from different companies and have them play nicely together! The card base for today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and it’s cut so that when it’s folded it makes a 4 1/4″ square card. My background consists of a piece of paper from an old My Mind’s Eye 6×6 Pad called The Merry Days of Christmas on the top and a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper across the bottom. I used the Simon Says Stamp Frames Craft Dies to cut out a piece of Early Espresso and Crumb Cake that I stamped with the Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Backdrops Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake. They are held together on the back with some tape and adhered to the card with Foam Tape. The tree is form the Hero Arts Color Layering Christmas Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Catkin, Green Leaf and Hero Arts White Unicorn Ink. I used the coordinating Frame Cuts to cut it out and adhered it to the frame with SNAIL. Finally, the greeting is from the same Hero Arts Set and is stamped in Green Leaf with the ends flagged and adhered to the card with some more Foam Tape. I do love the bit of sparkle from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the eclectic mix of elements! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge! Stop by the blog and see what the rest of the Design Team has done with the sketch and enter your card in the gallery! Thank you for taking some time to come by and visit with me today!
