I have had some scrapping time this weekend and while I am getting REALLY behind on my photos I am enjoying making cards! I used Creative imaginations patterned paper, Bazzill cardstock, spellbinders cutters (had them forever - thought I should actually USE them!) Autumn Leaves Stamp, Gold Embossing, Gold Stickles, SU Scallop Punch, Ribbon from my stash,Dew Drops Made by Sharon and Pop Dots The paper reminded me of foreign places and the stamp reminded me of all Bond movies! Edit: I can't believe I forgot to tell you. This week there is blog candy so head on over to check it out: Copied from the site: 1. As a big thank you to all of you - we would like to include our Audrey recipient this week with this beautiful stamp set called BRANCHING OUT from Taylored Expressions . This set is normally $21.95 but can be yours for playing along this week (open to all international players!!!) !!! Please mention this blog candy on your blog! Its really such an amazing stamp set (Its my favor...

Here are this weeks challenge colors: I used signature suite paper for the base card, bazzil paper (dark brown), SU punch, KI Memories Love series stamps, ribbon from my stash, CTMH white embossing powder (for the word) and all the hearts are pop dotted. It was fun doing hearts in this non-standard color!

Saturday Cinema -- this week is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory -- with the additional challenge of using bright colors. Here is my try ---I used the dark tunnel (as well as all the fun candy) as my inspiration Using Block Magic paper for the tunnel, stickles and Glossy Accents, Hero arts for the cupcake -- Koh-i-nor pencils - Making memories stickers (got them at Target!) -- and Inksentials white pen.

It has been awhile since I did one of these. But I got some time this Sunday and had a little fun. Here is the card design: I used Bazzill Paper; Francis Meyer patterned paper, Bazzill Ribbon and RicRac, DMD Background Stamp, Hero Arts Cupcake and words stamp, SU Punch, SU water pen, CatsEye Dark Brown Ink, Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick Distress Ink, Cats Eye Green Ink, Copic Marker Grey Outline and Pop Dots!

I decided to make a gift for my mom-in-law. She is recovering from heart surgery. We are trying to convince her to come stay with us this summer for a month. ANYWAY... here is the wall hanging I made. I used a kit from Quick Quotes and added some additional items from my stash.

was pre-empted by a phone call from a friend needing 5 two page layouts by this weekend. She called Sunday night - so I needed to balance work, had a work friend in from out of town with his wife and child so we had them over for dinner Monday night, Bellas family birthday party is tomorrow and this ROTTEN cold I have. Anyway the colors she told me to use were hot pink, blue (like crayon blue) and light yellow. Here are the five layouts I made -- mostly I used papers that Jamie sent me black and white ones by Imaginisce. With Bazzil and DCWV solids. I played with flowers and punches and ribbons. The idea is that they will be handing out white sheets for everyone to write on at the shower (and they will take pictures too) and add the photos --- the bride tends to like things a little simple (hmmmm not me! hehehe) so I tried to restrain myself a little -- I definately used my Layout Blueprints (I have both volumes) for inspiration. The pics arent the best but I snapped them Thursday morn...

The hubby went to play at the Winter bluegrass festival last night. So I ended up going to bed early and got up this morning and decided to give Kristina's color challenge a try. His band is at mosspiglets.com for anyone interested -- my hubby wrote and sang Small Town USA which is my fave of their new album. The CDs are on order -woohoo they are out of the studio! Albums take a LONG time to make! Anway back to the card: The base is Junkitz paper -- Also used DCWV (pink pattern), BG (brown pattern and tag), a strip of dark brown Bazzill is under the vellum. I do not remember the name of the vellum maker as it came from my stash. The brads are from Queen and Co. The stamps -- the words are CTMH and the dots are a SU roller. I used Adirondack Earthtones Espresso for stamping and Dark Brown Cats Eye chalk ink for inking the edges. The ribbon is from my LSS and I love it but dont know the brand. Here are the colors: and here is my card

This movie challenge was so fun--- all bright colors and wonderful lyrics (I stole some of them for my card!) I loved all the colors and the beads and the dots represent them. Bazzil Paper --Daisey Dees pattern Paper -- Stickles -- Bling -- Color Rubz letters Dew drops made by Sharon --- Scrappy Cat flower stamps --- Stamping Up Punch --- and Pop Dots!
