Fab Friday 48

T G I F!! T G I F!! T G I F!! Can you tell that I’m excited that it’s Friday?!?! I’m not going to lie, I’m over work this week, too many things that shouldn’t be given to me to do are given to me. I have a few errands to run today, like the Apple Store so that will make the day much better! It was a gorgeous day here yesterday in the high 70’s and a slight breeze with plenty of sun! It sure doesn’t feel like August and I hope that this doesn’t mean that there will be another bad winter! But I’m really enjoying it at the moment! Tonight I have some crafty things to do and at some point over the weekend I would like to get the Stampin’ Galley a little more organized! We’ll see how that goes! LOL! What do they say about the best laid plans?! What’s on for the weekend for you people?!

Today is a very special Friday not just because it a Fab Friday but it’s a special Fab Friday! Mindy had her little baby boy Ian!! We decided to surprise her with a little change of plans! We all made baby card this time! Congratulations Mindy and Jon!! He’s adorable!!

Fab Friday Baby-001

I went with a nice simple card that would be easy to duplicate, I actually know quite a few people that have had babies lately. Little Daniel turned nine months old yesterday and is crawling and sitting up already! They do grow up so fast! My card begins with a base of Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock. The background is a piece of Lullaby Designer Series Paper, I punched the left side with the Scallop Edge Border Punch and adhered it to the base with SNAIL. My large flag is a piece of Hello Honey and I used the Circles Collection Framelits to cut out the circle in the middle. Across the top is a piece of Coastal Cabana that I trimmed with the Small Scallop Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade and adhered it to the flag with Multi-Purpose Glue. Before adhering it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals I stamped my sentiment from the Dear Heart Photopolymer Stamp Set in Baked Brown Sugar. The sweet onesie is from the Something for Baby Stamp Set and is stamped in Pistachio Pudding and cut out with the Baby’s First Framelits. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold that in place too. Like I said simple but I love the layout and the colors! I really hope that Mindy and you both enjoyed the card and that Mindy was surprised! That’s my card for this week’s Welcome Ian challenge for Fab Friday. Head on over to the blog to see what my teammates have done and let’s see what you can come up with! Thank you for coming by to see me today, I hope that you all have a fabulous Friday! 🙂

Mojo 358

Happy Thursday! It rained a lot here on Tuesday night, some places got 13 inches in a few hours. There was a lot of flooding, I had a little puddle in front of my door inside but our poor friend Fred had a full 2 inches of water in his apartment. So many of the roads were flooded that some of my co-workers sat in their cars for over 3 hours waiting for them to get things moving. The news said that it was worse than Hurricane Sandy as far as the rain went. Weather is just really odd around here lately. Around 1:00PM the skies cleared up and the sun was out for the rest of the day. Hopefully it helped dry up some of the harder hit areas.

Now as for Andrew’s little post yesterday, I knew which one of the choices would be the most popular! LOL! I will tell you that the knee feels much better today, I can actually touch it. But if it’s not much better by Friday you may get your wish! LOL! Stay tuned!

I got a nice surprise in the mail today! When I was at Convention I went to Starbucks with my friend Eva and while we were there I bought a Salt Lake City mug. She asked if I collected them and I said yes. Well guess what my surprise was?! Here it is…

Eva Portland Sbux Mug

How cool is that?!?! Thank you so much Eva!! That was so sweet of you! I’ll bet that my coffee will taste much better tomorrow morning having it from my new Starbucks mug!! I just noticed that the hands on the Catalog look like they are holding the mug! Pretty neat! 🙂

Now off we go to today’s card which is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch from the lovely Julee Tilman…

Mojo358

I don’t know what it is with me and shaker cards lately! I hadn’t made one in forever and now I have made about five! LOL! I did use some new goodies from the Holiday Catalog too, loving all of it! The base for today’s card is Smoky Slate Card Stock. For my background I used a piece of paper from the All is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper* Pack along the bottom and across the seam is a piece of the All is Calm Designer Washi Tape*. They are adhered to a piece of Lost Lagoon and that is adhered to the base with SNAIL. The frame is cut out from a piece of Smoky Slate, the window with the Squares Collection Framelits. I adhered a piece of Window Sheet behind the square and behind that is another piece of paper from the All is Calm DSP Pack. Before I put the shaker together I added some of the snowflakes from the Frosted Sequins*. The snowflake on the window, the smaller one and the snow are all cut out with the Snowflake Card Thinlits* from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. A piece of Lost Lagoon is flagged on both ends and serves as the backdrop for the small snowflake and snow. A few Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the shaker. I really love Lost Lagoon, I think it is my favorite blue ever and what better paper for snow that the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer?! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch and that you are not sick of the shaker cards just yet! Thank you so much for sharing in my day today! I love having you visit and your comments are always a highlight of my day! I wish you all a happy Thursday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 105 & Bonus!

Ahh yes… another fun filled day here on Long Island! Work was just the way I imagined it, nuts! Last minute event planning is always my favorite! NOT! It wasn’t a bad day weather wise, overcast and a bit windy but it didn’t rain until late last night and boy did it rain! I ran out to do a few errands and guess what I saw…

Rainbow

A perfect little rainbow! Well, if I could crop out the power lines and the building it would be perfect! LOL! So neat though! That brightened up my evening a bit! Before I get started with today’s post, Andrew stopped by and has a quick word for you all…

 

Hi there JK Cards readers! I was over at Justin’s house last night and he was telling me about how he hit his knee again. Of course, he then told me how you were all concerned about him and were badgering him to get to a doctor. I gave him two choices:

1) He can continue to not go to the doctor. If he does this and ends up hurting his knee further, I told him I will visit him in the hospital with chocolates, flowers, and balloons. Right after I give him all his sentiments, I’ll look him in the eyes and say, “I told you so!” (Don’t worry, I’ll mention that you all told him as well. LOL!)

2) If by the next time I come over he hasn’t gone to the doctor, I’m gonna slip a fun little pill into a cup of his coffee, throw him over my shoulder, carry him to the car, take him to the doctor for an evaluation, and get him back home before he’ll even remember what happened!

Let Justin know in the comments which option you think is better. Have a great day everyone! 🙂

He’s the best friend anyone could ever want, isn’t he?!

I didn’t get to post Stampin’ Up!’s weekly deals yesterday so here they are…

Middle of the week, yes, it’s time for some Paper Craft Crew Design Team sketch goodness! Here is this week’s…

PCCCS105 8-13-2014

I stayed very true to the sketch and my inspiration was the cover of the annual catalog! The base of the card is Pistachio Pudding Card Stock. My background is a piece of Whisper White and I punched the bottom edge with the Confetti Stars Border Punch*. A strip of Maritime Designer Series Paper comes across from the left. The panel in the middle is a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe that I embossed with the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. My two stars are cut out with the Stars Framelits. The back one is a piece of Vellum Card Stock that I bordered with a piece of Pistachio Pudding, the one in front is a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. They are both adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. My greeting is from the And Many More Stamp Set and is stamped in Pistachio Pudding, I flagged the end and tucked it under the top star. Over in the upper right corner are three star sequins from the 2013-2015 In-Color Sequin Assortment. They each have a Basic Jewel Rhinestone in the middle. I love the soft colors and abundance of star goodness on the card and hope that you do too! And there you have my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. Head on over to the BLOG and see what the other DT members have done for the sketch and get out your crafty tools and make one for us to see by entering it in the gallery! Thank you for coming by to see what I’ve been doing, I hope that you have a good Wednesday! Oh, you thought I forgot about the birthday card?!?! Nope, its at the end of the post, supplies and all! 🙂

SUO Challenges 103

Oh, it was a typical Monday, busy day at work, nothing exciting when I got home. I did manage to smack my knee again today and my friend Francis made me fill out an accident report and told me that I need to go and have it looked at. Hmm… where will I find the time to do that?! Not to whine but it really does bother me and I think there is a good chance that I broke something. Does the ER make house calls?! I will give it a few more days and then I if it still bothers me I may have to break down and get it checked. Can you tell that I never go to the Dr.?! I did have some crafty time last night and I made a card for my Sister-in-law, it’s her Birthday today! Happy Birthday Erika! I’ll share the card that I made her tomorrow. 🙂

Stampin’ Up! released a really cool new Photopolymer Stamp Set called Yee Haw! It has a great western feel to it! You can see it below or click HERE to download a PDF of the flyer.

US_Flyer_photopolymer_Yee_Haw_0814

My little post that I have for you today is for the SUO Challenges blog. This time around we ask you to think geometrical. My card is simple but it I do love the one element that I used on it. I think it gives a lot of oomph to it! My card begins with a base of Hello Honey Card Stock. For the background I cut a piece of adhesive cork sheet with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit and adhered it to the base. A few black ones cut out with the same die are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. My greeting is from the Hexagon Hello Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Very Vanilla pieces that are also cut out with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit. Some more Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the cork. I absolutely love the depth that the cork give the hive, it almost looks like little bees could crawl right in there! Like I said a simple card but the cork is so cool! That’s my card for the SUO Challenges Design Team and I hope that you enjoyed it. Stop by the blog to see what my fellow design team members have done and enter your card in the gallery! I hope that you all have a good Tuesday and as always, thank you so much for visiting with me today! 🙂

Paper Players 208

And there goes another weekend! I spent a good part of the day in Manhattan helping out a few friends. I was running around and I didn’t go anywhere new so I didn’t take any pictures. However, I did take a few pictures when I was in PA on Saturday. When I was little and would go there the town was a lot less crowded and there were less houses. There are so many new houses behind my Grandmother’s but when I was standing outside the funeral home and looked across the street I could see clear over to the mountains…

Ringtown

You can see that the houses in the picture are newer, they weren’t there when I was a kid. After we got back from the cemetery we went to this little restaurant for lunch. If you ever happen to be in the Ringtown are and want some food I would highly recommend it. The prices were great, service was excellent and the food was delicious!

Creekside

And yes, there is a creek the runs along side the place! 🙂

Well if it’s Monday that means that it’s time for this week’s Paper Players challenge. For this one we have an unusual color combo from Nance…

Paper Players #208

I think that the inspiration picture is neat! My card starts off with a base of Basic Gray Card Stock. My background is stamped with the coral from the By the Sea Stamp Set in Hello Honey. The shells are stamped in Basic Gray on Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride and cut out with my Paper Snips. Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the card. The love is a piece of Calypso Coral that I cut out with the “Vintage” Expressions Thinlits and adhered to the card with Multi-Purpose Glue. I stamped the You from the Work of Art Stamp Set in Blushing Bride and some gray iridescent sequins complete the background. I mounted it to a piece of Hello Honey before adhering it to the base. I love the way that the Love and the You look like they were made for each other. A simple but sweet card! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players color challenge. Thank you so much for coming buy and I wish you a happy easy Monday! 🙂

Hodgepodge Spiral Star Line

I was in the car a lot longer that I had hoped to be yesterday thanks to the George Washington Bridge and the Throgs Neck Bridge! Doesn’t everyone realize that If they just merged they would all get through?! Having the top down in the car did make it more bearable, it was a beautiful day yesterday. The service for my Grandmother was lovely. The Priest that delivered it has lived next door to my Grandmother for 30 years and remembers me as a little one as he said. He spoke of her laugh that was infectious and her stubbornness and that made us laugh. I got to see people that I haven’t seen in a very long time including my Dad’s cousin Lisa. I always liked Lisa and remembered her from a few family functions from years ago. It was great to get to catch up with her and I now have her email and mobile so I can keep in touch. When we went back to the house I took a few things that reminded me of my Grandmother. When I was little I used to sit and stare at the nicknacks that she had. There were a few that fascinated me for some reason. There is a picture of a some of them below. I used to play with this set in particular. I was allowed to as long as it was only on the table and I was careful as I always was. Now every time I look at them I will be reminded of my wonderful Grandmother and smile.

Gram's Nicknacks

Today I have a just because card that I made a little while ago just for fun! I’m sure that I will find someone to give it to in the future. The card begins with a base of Crumb Cake Card Stock. I took a piece of Whisper White and used the Draw the Line Photopolymer Stamp Set with Pool Party and Real Red ink to crete a piece of notebook paper. The Spiral Border Punch down the left side enhances it’s authenticity! LOL! I used one the stars form the Basic Hodgepodge Clips to attach a piece of Tangelo Twist behind it and “casually” adhered it to the base. Some Gold Foil Sheet is cut out with the Stars Framelits and punched out with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. I adhered the large star to the notebook paper with Multi-Purpose Glue. My greeting is from the Pictogram Punches Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangelo Twist. I heat embossed the small stars form the Be the Star Stamp Set in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and cut it out with the Ovals Collection Framelits. The Tangelo Twist Stampin’ Write Marker is used to edge the oval and Stampin’ Dimensionals hold it and the punched star to the card. I had a few small gold star sequins so I added them to complete the card. A fun card that would work for a number of occasions! I hope that you like the card for today and thank you once again for all of you lovely comments yesterday. They made me smile even more knowing I was in your thoughts. Have a lovely Sunday! 🙂

Just Add Ink 226

Hello my friends. Today is the funeral and I’m in Pennsylvania. I am still remembering only the good times and fun that I had with my grandmother and thinking of the lovely comments from all of you. They all mean so much to me. I don’t have much else to say today so I’ll just get to my card.

I paid a visit to the Just Add Ink blog the other day. I haven’t done one of their challenges in a while so when I saw the sketch I knew just what I wanted to use…

JAI Sketch 226

Can you guess what it is? No peeking! LOL! My card is somewhat of a tall and skinny card, the base is a piece of Whisper White Card Stock that I cut to 3 3/4″ wide. On top of that is a piece of All is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper*. I stamped the wreath from the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set in Pear Pizzaz and Lost Lagoon. The berries are heat embossed in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and the the wreath is cut out with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. A piece of Gold Sequin Trim is adhered to the wreath with Mini Glue Dots. The piece of Lost Lagoon that goes across the card is flagged on the right side and a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper goes across the bottom. The joy is from the Snowflake Card Thinlits* and is cut out from Gold Foil Sheet. All of the pieces are adhered with Multi-Purpose Glue and the strip is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I just love that wreath and the berries in gold are pretty cool! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Just Add Ink sketch challenge. I thank you and will be thinking of you today. I hope you have a good Saturday! 🙂

Pals Paper Arts 214

Before I get my post started for today, I want to begin by saying thank you for all of your kind words in regards to my grandmother’s passing. It means a lot to me that you all not only take the time out of your day to read my blog, but to comment and share stories from your life with me as well. The level of kindness I receive from so many people on a daily basis is simply overwhelming and I just want you all to know how much I truly appreciate it. I share little bits of my life with you, and you in turn do the same with me. And that is why typing my post is the best part of my day. All that being said, today is of course Friday… still my favorite day of the week. LOL!

The card I have for you today is for this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge…

PPA 214

Now there are three colors that I would have never thought to put together! After thinking about it for a while I decided that I would ink up a new stamp set, actually my favorite from the new holiday catalog! And after you see which one it is, you’ll know why. For the base of the card I used Island Indigo Card Stock. My background is created using the hearts from the Hearts and Stars Decorative Mask. I sponged on Crisp Cantaloupe onto Whisper White Card Stock and stopped just short of the bottom where I adhered a piece of Sweet Sadie Designer Washi Tape. My greeting is from the @sosocial Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo. I adhered a piece of Wild Wasabi behind the background before adhering it to the base. The three feathers are from the Four Feathers Stamp Set*. They are stamped in Island Indigo on Whisper White Card Stock and then sponged over with Wild Wasabi Ink. I used the Feathers Framelits* to cut them out. Before adhering them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals, I brushed on some of my glimmer concoction. At the bottom of the feathers I adhered a Regals Designer Button with a Mini Glue Dot. You know that I love the Four Feathers and Feathers Framelits, I’ve been waiting for those for quite a while. I also like the way the glimmer concoction makes them iridescent in the light. I hope you enjoyed my card for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge that is filled with feathered #awesomeness. LOL! I’m so happy to have you come by and share part of my day. I hope that your Friday is a good one!

PS: Andrew says hello! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 148

Yesterday was a sad day for me. My grandmother passed away. She was an amazing person and lived good long life. She was 96 years old. I remember all of the good times that I had with her. I remember going there every summer for two weeks with my brother. Getting up at 6:00am to take my grandfather to work and watching the sunrise over the mountain. She made the most amazing pies and cakes, was an excellent cook too. Her specialty was shoo-fly pie and no one has been able to duplicate her recipe even though many of us have tried. We would go to Knoebels Grove, an amusement park in Elysburg, PA all the time. It’s an old fashioned park with rides and all of the sounds and smells that should be at an amusement park. She would go on all of the rides with us and split a funnel cake, her favorite. I remember Teaberry ice cream, still one of my favorites. She loved flowers and always had hundreds of them planted in the summer. I remember the smell of the lilac trees at the end of the driveway and her Rose Milk lotion. I’m glad that I got to spend the time with her that I did, she helped me become the person that I am today and for that I am grateful. She will be missed but remembered fondly.

When I sat down to make my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge I could only think of stars and happiness because that’s what I felt when I thought of her. Here is this week’s sketch…

Freshly Made Sketches #148

The base of my card is Lost Lagoon Card Stock. I used a piece of Silver Foil Sheet that I embossed with the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. It is adhered to the card base off to the left. My center panel is a shaker frame and is made from Basic Black. I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to cut out the middle of the front panel and adhered a piece of Window Sheet with Multi-Purpose Glue to the back. Some foam tape makes up the sides and I filled it with stars that I punched out from a piece of Brushed Silver Card Stock with the Confetti Stars Border Punch*. My greeting is from the Holiday Invitation Photopolymer Stamp Set* and is heat embossed in Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a piece of Lost Lagoon. Up in the right corner is another piece of Silver Foil Sheet that I cut out with the Stars Framelits and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally some Frosted Sequins* are randomly adhered with Multi-Purpose Glue down the right side. A fun card that celebrates the life of a wonderful grandmother. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I appreciate you visiting with me and hope that you have a good Thursday.

Paper Craft Crew 104

Hello my friends! How are you on our halfway point in the week?! I’m doing ok. Work was nutty again and to make it the perfect day I smashed my knee on the wooden are of a chair and it hurt so much I almost passed out! LOL! Not good, my knee is now twice it’s normal size. FUN! I’m sure that it will be worse by the end of today, sorry to whine but it really hurt! I got to see my brother, sister-in-law and little Daniel for dinner. He really is just the cutest little guy! His little smile made me forget all about my knee! Here is a little selfie of us…

Me & Daniel 8-05-2014

I’m making a silly face but Daniel looks too cute! LOL!

Wednesday… let’s see that means it’s Paper Craft Crew Design Team day! We have a nice simple sketch for you this week…

PCCCS104 Sketch 8-06-2014

I went for nice and clean with fun colors! The base of my card is Soft Sky Card Stock and I stamped one of the stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set in Tangerine Tango twice on it. My fun hexagons are Tangerine Tango and are cut out with the Hexagon Hive Thinlits. I Adhered them to a piece of Vellum Card Stock and then trimmed off the excess before adhering them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. My greeting is from the A Happy Hooray Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the Hexagon Punch. The banners are Tangerine Tango and are punched out with the Banner Punch. Both the greeting and the banners are also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the Tangerine Tango and the Soft Sky together with the pop of Early Espresso. I also like the way the hexagons float thanks to the Vellum! That’s my deign team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge, I hope that you enjoyed it! Stop by the blog to see what my teammates have done with the sketch and enter your creation for us to see! Oh, I almost forgot! My little friend in brown stopped by with a box of goodies so I had to make a little something! I did a fun tag, it’s after the supplies to be sure to scroll down and take a look! Thanks so much for your time today, I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂
