Kindness

Last week while packing up more stamping goodies I came across some scraps of the October Afternoon Thrift Shop DP and decided to throw a quick card together.

This is one of Mercy's older sketches and worked well for the scraps.

The sentiment comes from a Verve set.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Just a Blog Hop!

Welcome to Just A Blog Hop. We were invited to put aside all of our stamping oriented obligations and deadlines and create something just for fun. The hop guidelines were simple: choose a challenge to play and choose either a new uninked stamp or an old favorite. Create a card and mail it to someone. What could be better to celebrate World Card making day?

So.....

When Taylored Expressions released this Feeling Groovy Stamp set a few months ago I had to get it for Chloe. If there is a VW bug out on the road she's calling "punch buggie green....no return"....haha! So this card is for Chloe! We are going to have a lot of changes still to come in the next several months and it's all for the better. I'm hoping she enjoys them and continues to be excited!

Taylor's TESC129 from a week ago was perfect for this image. Some funky Cosmo Cricket Pixie-Licious designer paper and some silver pearls finish the card off.

There is a whole bunch of talented people playing along today and if you should have come to me from Alice Wertz and now be stopping by Rosie Hughes but if you got a little lost along the way....no worries just hop on back to Jami Sibley and you'll be good to go again!

Thanks for stopping by to see me!

Relaxing

This is totally me these days....lol

When I'm sitting here at the hotel each evening I'm either on my personal laptop or my work one. It keeps me busy and my mind off of how much I am missing my family.

Tomorrow they'll be here to visit for the weekend and I'm super excited! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather. It'd be nice to do the zoo or something outdoors.

This stamp is from the Who's That E-Girl from MFT. She's one of my newest MFT stamps! I drew in the floor and paper pieced the sofa.
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT day!

Let's Play Dress Up - MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge

Chillin'

It's time for me to get into the swing of making holiday cards on a more regular basis. While packing away more stamping goodies yesterday I found this cutie from Stamping Bella.

She was coloured with Copics and a little bit of Stardust Stickles were added to the snowballs.

I also discovered a couple rhinestone swirls in the basket so I threw them on the card too!

The sentiment comes from Baby, it's Cold Outside by MFT.

Thinking of You SFYTT

Well I'm home and it's great to be with my family!

Being away for two weeks has been crazy but soon we'll all be moving and my commuting will be cut down. Whew!

Chloe headed out to play with her friends, Brian was packing up his computer room which meant nobody would mind if I stamped ;)

I had laundry to do so it was perfect timing. I took a look at what Jen had for her SFYTT this week and it was a good one....as always!

I used some pretty My Mind's Eye DP along with the Verve set called Kind Words.

Thanks for looking!

Just Because

Well today after work I am heading back to Edmonton for the weekend! I'm excited to see my family. Poor Snickers has been missing me like crazy. I miss her following me everywhere...lol

This is one of the last cards I made to share with you while I've been away. I do hope that I'll find a little stamping time this weekend :)

Solid stamping is something I don't often do anymore. This Verve set called Great Friend has both solid and outline images.

Once again I have used some of the pretty Pixie-Licious designer paper from Cosmo Cricket.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthdays Are The Best

Karen had a wonderful Sweet Sunday Sketch#85 on her blog and there was a little bonus involved. You were to make it a birthday card that you could send off to the soldiers.

I pulled out some pretty PTI stamps and the coordinating PTI flower die. Finished the flowers off with a few PTI Lemon Tart buttons and thread.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, it's Me.... MFTWSC092210

This week the MFT Stamp Club Challenge team are making scenes!

Create a scene with your stamps and Die-namics, or use a stamp that shows a scene. Remember you do not need to use MFT images to participate but if you have 'em why not use 'em ;)

When you upload to SCS please use keyword MFTWSC092210 so we can find your creations.

I chose to use the adorable PI girl called Flower Girl along with some fun die-namics and felt! The sun and grass were made with felt from the Banana Split Collection and the Beautiful Garden Collection. The scallops were made using the Jumbo Scallop Die.

I hope you'll head over to Kim's blog at 11 am EST(Wednesday) for a complete list of participating designers for today's Wednesday Stamp Club.

You Make My World Happy

I made this for last Sunday's Featured Stamper Challenge. Terri had a wonderful card here that I cased.

Loved the little window and thought the cute little PI girl would be perfect for it!

Sorry for the bad lighting. I was rushing to get things photographed and pre-loaded to my blog. I didn't realize it looked so bad until now....lol Frankly, time is not on my side right now and I have no energy to run down to re-do ;)

Stamps: Being Cute Is What I Do; Cardstock: Real Red, White, MME Alphabet Soup dp; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, SU! edge punch, Dimensionals

Being Cute

I think this is one of my most favourite cards eva! Funny thing is that the cards I like are usually the ones others don't...lol

I had book marked a card by Karen HERE last month and have been wanting to try the clouds and hill idea.

I'm running out of time so I better go. I have more blog posts to get written up so you have more to see while I'm away.

Stamps: Being Cute Is What I Do; Cardstock: Kraft, Aqua Mist, White, My Mind's Eye DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, PTI cloud die, MFT felt, Sewing Machine, Dimensionals

Think Green

This afternoon Brian and Chloe will be joining me and we will be house hunting this weekend! Can't wait!

I finally tried that gathered ribbon technique that everyone has been doing. I'm a little behind, eh? For some reason the ribbon photographed really bright...lol

I pulled out the WTG Goes Green set from MFT and stamped the image on kraft and coloured with copics.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT weekend! I know I will ;)

Thinking of You

Well I'm half way through my week away from my family. Tomorrow they are coming to see me for the weekend. We are going to spend the time looking for a home and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well! Hoteling it during the week will get old fast! ha!

Last weekend when I was home, I made quite a few cards so I'd have things to show you while I'm away for two weeks.

This card was made using more of the pretty Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather DP. The tree was created using the MFT Sheltering Tree and Leaf Trio.

The sentiment comes from the Verve set called Kind Words.

Thanks for stopping by today!

You're My Star - MFTWSC091510

This week the MFT Stamp Club gang are showing off some super stars!

Create a project featuring a super star, or use stars in your project. When you upload to SCS use keyword MFTWSC091510. Remember you don't have to use MFT stamps to play ;)

I chose to use the super cute PI girl called Cheerleader. The fun star paper is from My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup.

I'm betting that the girls have some fabulous star studded projects to share with you today too! Stop by and visit them :) They are sure to knock your socks off!

Kind Words

Last month when Verve came out with this stamp set called Kind Words I knew I needed it!

I LOVE the sentiment on my card today. Words like please and thank you tend to be forgotten all too often these days and those are words that echo to me.

The paper is from the new Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather and the layout comes from Mercy's MTSC90.

Tomorrow morning I will be heading to Calgary for work. I'll be gone about a week and a half but I have scheduled posts ready to go! I will pop in when I can!
Thanks for stopping by!

For You SFYTT

ahhhhhhhhhh the weekend and stamping time!

This week while I was out of town my Verve stamps arrived...yippee! Brian called to let me know that they were sitting here waiting for my return. I'm not sure if he was trying to rub it in and tease me or what....haha!

This morning after I packed up a few more stamping boxes I sat down and created this card using the Great Friend set from Verve.

The fun sketch comes from the SFYTT this week!

Stamps: Great Friend; Cardstock: Handsome Hunter, Kraft, Cosmo Cricket DP; Inks: Black; Accessories: Mat pack and paper piercer, Oval Punches, Dimensionals, Gelly Roll Pen

Mojo Smile

Since Monday was a holiday I was able to play along with Julee's Mojo Monday sketch.

I've been packing and cleaning and while doing so I came across some older Verve sets and thought they needed some love before putting them in a box ;)

Barely banana is another cardstock colour that hasn't seen the light of day in my craft space. It used to be a fave of mine but then so many others came out like PTI Lemon Tart or the many shades of Prism papers.

Some fun Cosmo Cricket Pixie-Licious papers were used as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bookmark - MFTWSC090810

It's time for another fun MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge!
I hope you can find time to play along with us :)

This week it's Back to School Blues. Create something for going back to school and incorporate blue. Easy right?

I decided to create a fun corner bookmark using one of my fave PI Girls called Book In Hand. I'm sure you've noticed me using her a lot lately ;)

You can find the bookmark tutorial on SCS in the resource section.

Soon you will find all the details about the challenge on SCS in the MFT Forum. If you're itchin' to get started I'm sure you've gotten the jist of it. Be sure to use keyword MFTWSC090810 when you upload so we can find ya!

Friendship is the Best Gift

I decided to make a little book to go with the briefcase tag from yesterday. You can never have enough notepads, right? Besides this one will slip right into the side pocket of a briefcase ;)

The cover was a funky purple so I covered it with some kraft cardstock that was layered with some October Afternoon designer paper. I added some quick stitching around it and a little ribbon. Then I taped it down good!!!

The PI girl Book in Hand was stamped in Memento Black and coloured with Copics. Some oval nesties were used to cut her out. The sentiment comes from the Wrapped With Love set.

That's it....sweet and simple!

Thanks for stopping by today! I'm heading out of town for a business trip so I will catch up with you all when I return!

Have a GREAT week!

Book in Hand

Wow yesterday I was down and out for HOURS with a migraine. So not cool or good timing :( We had started to clean out the basement and organize for our upcoming move this fall. Unfortunately, I maybe worked one hour on it and then I was in bed for the rest of the afternoon.

That meant no stamping for me :(

Luckily, I had made a few more briefcase tags on Saturday evening.

This one uses the adorable PI Girl Book in Hand. I love the fun colours of this October Afternoon dp. Everytime I see it in a store, I buy more. You can never have enough, right?
Stamps: Book in Hand; Cardstock: Cream, Sunflower Prism, October Afternoon DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Ribbon, Thread, Button, SU! Top note die, Jumbo Eyelet, Chipboard, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today! I'm hoping Monday will be a more productive day!

Life Is Good

But hectic these days. It's been an adjustment with my new job and being out of town this week will be another challenge.

Last week I received my laptop and realized that we all have black laptop bags/brief cases. That got me to thinking that I needed to decorate mine in some way so it's easily recognizable.

Since I'd just received some fun Cosmo Cricket Pixie-Licious designer paper I HAD to use it, right?

This super cute PI girl Little Angel hadn't seen any ink yet so why not pair them up?!

I haven't figured out what to put on the backside but it is made out of a thin chipboard so maybe I'll just stamp my name on it. Simple and easy!

Stamps: PI Little Angel, Maid for WTG(sentiment); Cardstock: White, Kiwi Kiss, CC Pixie-Licious; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, SU! top note die, MFT Flower Trio Die, Glittered Candy Dot, Dimensionals, Jumbo Eyelet
Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend!

Scootin' By To Say Hi!

It felt great to stamp again Saturday! It's been a few days since I had gotten inky!

Luckily my Taylored Expressions package arrived on Thursday! I ordered the fun set called Feelin' Groovy along with a few of the new Cosmo Cricket 6 x 6 paper pads.

This card uses the fun Cosmo Cricket Togetherness papers.

I stamped the image onto Choice Buttercream cardstock and coloured with Copics.

The layout comes from Jen's SFYTT this week.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT weekend!

Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash!

Today I am helping Taylor celebrate the 2nd birthday of Taylored Expressions! Wow I can't believe it's been two years! I was lucky enough to serve on the design team awhile back and it's exciting to see how it TE keeps growing and growing!
I'm sharing a card made with Running Late. Isn't this an adorable image? I chose to colour it with some bright and fun colours! A little bit of stardust stickles were added the sneakers :)

hehe....isn't the sentiment on the inside fun too?!

Stamps: Running Late; Cardstock: Kraft, Red, Light Island Mist, Lime Green Prism, Echo Park DP; Accessories: Copics, White Brads, Nesties, Stickles, Die-namics Scallop, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!

Girlfriends are a Gift

Today I'm off on my first business trip (to Calgary) in my new role at work. I'm really excited! Sometime during the day I hope to get together with my best friend, Karen. Maybe we can do lunch or dinner. I know that Thursdays are super busy for her so even if I don't get a good visit I wanted to give her a little something. I've made this fun card for her using the MFT Chick Flick and some colourful October Afternoon DP.

I added a bit of glaze to the popcorn bowl. As I was making this card, I reached for this scrap of designer paper and when I turned it over the G Gift Girl piece was perfect! It was meant to be, kwim?

Stamps: Chick Flick; Cardstock: Real Red, Kraft, Vanilla, October Afternoon DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Ribbon, Glaze Pen, Dimensionals
Unfortunately, I forgot to get a shot of the inside but I stamped the "I give our friendship two thumbs up!" sentiment.
I'm away for the next two days but I will catch up with everyone when I get home this weekend!

My Time Made Easy - Shop Around Template and Blog Hop

It's release day at My Time Made Easy!
Today I'm sharing a couple of 3D Shop Around templates that I decorated. I'm not normally a 3D sort of person but Lauren's templates and my Cricut Expression sure do make it easy :)
My houses/shoppes were both resized to 80% using the Sure Cuts A Lot programs so that I could use 8.5 x 11 cardstock.
My first shoppe uses many stamps from Home Improvement, Sign It and Display 1. I've also used some of the cut files which were resized by 80% to fit the stamped images.

The roof pattern is from the Construction Materials - Colour Me Pretty -Square Roof Tiles digi paper. Wait until you see all the fun patterns for your shoppes! Bricks, stone, Spanish tiles, wood planks~! Fun stuff! I printed my pattern on kraft cardstock.

Next up is a cute little house. When I originally started this house I was going for an old school house look. Then it changed to maybe a fire house. Well the final result is what you see....lol Again my house was resized by 80% in my SCAL program before cutting with the Cricut Expression.

A close up shot of the Judikins glaze I added to the windows and also some fun felt grass.

This is my last project that I will be sharing as a My Time Made Easy team member. With my new job, looking for a new house and relocating to a new city sometime in the near future, my stamping time will be very limited. I've enjoyed my time with Lauren and the girls and wish Lauren all the best!!
Before you leave today I do hope you'll stop by the team blogs and see what fabulous creations they have to share with you today!

Of course I added a few extras like buttons and ribbon ;)

My Time Made Easy - With A Latte Thanks!

I have many coffee drinking friends and this cup in the On Display 1 and the sentiment from On Display 1 Sentiments is perfect! All of these sets will be available very soon from My Time Made Easy.

I kept this card fairly simple and attempted to use my Janome Sew Mini. One of my first cards with it...lol

I stamped the image on kraft and coloured with copics. A little stitching, ribbon and cutting with the nesties and my card was done!

Stamps: On Display 1, On Display 1 Sentiments; Cardstock: Choc Chip, Kraft, Regal Rose; Inks: Memento Black, Choc Chip; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Ribbon, Sewing Machine, Dimensionals

I stamped the image in Memento Black and added a little bit of colour with Copics. A few layers of cardstock and a little stitching finish off this card!

You Brigthen My Day TESC126

Taylor had posted a wonderful TESC126 sketch that I thought would work well with some flowers that I had cut and sitting on my table!

This card came together rather quickly which was great for me! That left me more time to work on some other things ;)

Here I used some PTI flower dies, MFT Flower Trio(leaves) and Taylor's A Year of Sweet Sentiments.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a WONDERFUL Sunday!

My Time Made Easy - For Someone Sweet

Welcome back for day two of the My Time Made Easy Sneak Peeks.
Today I'm sharing a couple of things with you. First one being this cool cut file called Homemade Card & Envelope. I resized mine to 80% because I didn't have any 12 x 12 cardstock that I liked...lol That's a GREAT benefit of using a Cricut or any type of personal cutter, you can resize projects to your liking. Bonus! You pull up on the roof to expose the card inside!
My second item I wanted to share are a couple of stamp sets that will be available soon called Shoppe Window and On Display 1.
Shoppe Window: Set of Large 4 Images
On Display 1: Set of 27 images
***both sets will be available as a digital download
I stamped the window image and lighted watercoloured it. The candy lollipops were colored with my SU! markers. I added a bit of stardust stickles to the candy as well.
See that fun pattern paper? It's from the Lollipop Love Collection.

Here is a shot of the inside with the card pulled out.

Stop by Lauren, Stephanie and Silke to see some amazing projects today!

Hope

****For My Time Made Easy sneak scroll down thanks!
This was a card I made last weekend for the Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS.

I used some oldies but goodies on this one!

I reached for a couple of Taylored Expressions sets. One called Faith & Hope and the other called Luxurious Labels.

My soft colours came from this scrap piece of Basic Grey dp.

For my card here I used the frame, window box, flowers, curtains and grass. That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this huge set!

Stop by Lesa, Tammy and Katie as well as Lauren for some fun inspiration using the Shop Around Template.

Thanks So Much!

Wednesday night I had a few spare minutes to make a quick card using the Sketch on SCS.

This came together in about 10 minutes and is a Stampin' Up! only card.

I miss this designer paper. It's so colourful and fun! So me!

I inked the tree leaves in Old Olive, So Saffron and Rose Red to match the paper.

Life and Margaritas!

The other day one of my old co-workers filled me in on some things that she has going on in her life. She is keeping a strong face and trying to move on and I applaud her for it. I wanted to make her a fun card to remind her of a conversation we had over drinks on my last day. Although none of us actually had a margarita I figured this fun image and sentiment from Taylored Expressions Chillax set was perfect!
I stamped it in Memento on Choice Snow White and coloured with copics. I added a bit of stardust stickles to the rim and limes.
I've been practicing with my little Janome sew mini and having a blast with it! So happy I picked it up on vacation!

Well today is my last official day working in my current position. I've taken on a new role within the company and am looking forward to all the changes and challenges coming my way! Brian has been supportive and encouraging through this whole process of whether to apply and go for it. I'm so glad I did! It's going to be nice working Monday to Friday again and spending the weekends with my family :)

I won't bore you all with the chit chat because you came by to see something not read up! LOL!

This card was made for the Featured Stamper on SCS yesterday. I chose to CASE Heather's card HERE.

I wanted BRIGHT and happy colours which I found in a scrap piece of October Afternoon DP. The stamps are from Verve's Dude set.

Happy Birthday SFYTT

Today I was in need of a birthday card and of course I waited til the last minute. Seems to be the norm lately...lol

Luckily Jen had her SFYTT posted and it was perfect for the MFT PI girl Being Cute Is What I Do.

I was able to pull out more of the super fun My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup DP for my card too!

I hit the jackpot when I found some new My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup dp! It's so flippin' cute!

Right away I had to pair it up with one of my new PI girls from MFT. Being Cute Is What I Do is definitely adorable, eh? Looks like this stamp is currently out of stock but I'm sure it'll be back in a jiffy ;)

I used Mercy's MTSC87 sketch. The only change I made was to center my oval panel over the rectangle.

My newest MFT purchases arrived and I couldn't be more pleased!!!

Keyword: MFTWSC08182010
In a couple of weeks Chloe heads back to school. She's been a very good reader all summer and in fact she read 5 books during our vacation ;)
She has another friend that loves reading too and I thought it might be fun for Chloe to give this to her as a little gift.
This card with detachable bookmark is a tutorial on SCS that you can find HERE.
I used Beate's measurements for a square card.
The stamp set is called PI Book in Hand. She's such a cutie! I coloured her with Copics and added little rhinestones to her shoes.

Here is an inside shot of the detachable bookmark. The sentiment comes from Reading Flopsey.
