Tractor

Hello, Hello......is anybody out there. I have been so busy, but now that I am on holidays for 2 weeks I will be able to post the delicious things I have bee making, who knows, hopefully I will be able to post a tutorial on it.

I have been making packs of cards for christmas gifts and this is one of them. I know, I know, my eyelets are not straight, c'est la vie.

All supplies used are SU

The card base is not quite navy, then on that I matted some East Coast DP. I stamped the tractor image, from "by land" in old olive, then did the rock n roll method and then inked edges of the tractor in not quite navy. Took a sponge with not quite navy ink and sponged the edges of the mat. I took a piece of old olive cardstock and threw in a couple of white eyelets.

Summer, what's going on

I have been busy with my stamp a stack, and splurge. I crafted looong, and hard so am kinda taking a break for now.

This is just a quick simple card I made, it's been a bit so let's hope I get the recipe right. I am just to lazy to trot upstairs to see exactly what I used. I know it's a bit of a "summery" card, but here she goes

Base is kiwi kiss, mat is bashful blue. The 2 scallop borders, which I made using a corner rounder are real red and SP from ghostly greetings. I used the square punch to cut out the DSP from Summer picnic. The sentiment used is from sincere salutations, stamped in kiwi kiss ink

All together now

Here is the 3 transitional scrap book pages together. Pretty spiffy eh?

The 12 x 12

Ok, here it is the 12 x 12. I know it's not that great of a pic but I'm tryin.

All supplies SU

Paper is not quite navy textured cardstock, the DSP on it is from urban garden. I used a strip of kiwi kiss, the square scallop punch in not quite navy and the square punch. The stamp set used is pocket silhouettes in kiwi kiss ink. Last but not least, 2 buttons from the button bouquet.

2 steps together

Here they are put together, scroll down to other posts to see what I am talking about, stay tuned for the 12 x12

Step 2

Ok, I will give you a shot of the next step.

8.5 x 11 baja breeze, I matted a piece of urban garden DSP on white, the strip that I stamped is whisper white matted on not quite navy. I used the stamp set Pocket silhouettes in not quite navy ink, and once again used the mat pack.

Transitional scrapbooking

Holy batman it's been ages since I blogged, why you ask, because I have been busy CRAFTING.

I've started doing transitional pages. First you do a 6 x 6, then 8.5 x 11, then 12 x 12. You will have to keep checking back to see the finished pages.

All supplies SU unless noted.

This is a 6 x 6 kiwi kiss background stamped with itty bitty borders in versamark. The strip of DSP is Urban garden. The mat is baja breeze and around it I punched holes using the mat pack, you can't really see it. The saying comes from the stamp set smarty pants, I popped up using a pop dot, 2 not quite navy brads to top it off.

Green tea DSP

Been really busy with Halloween lately, haven't had time to post much. I hope everyone had a great Halloween.

I have started doing some Splitcoaststampers challenges and thought I would share. This is card sketch challenge 131.

All supplies SU unless noted.

Background is certainly celery, the mats are baja breeze and green tea DSP. I stamped heartfelt thanks in old olive and certainly celery and used the spritzer tool with bordering blue marker. I matted the image on certainly celery. To top it off I used whisper white, and certainly celery ribbon.

Sun ripened

I have a stash of coloured/mounted images that just never seemed to make there way into anything so I decided to start using them.

I am going to start trying to be a little more specific with my recipe, I just don't always seem to recall what I have used.

All supplies used are SU, unless noted.

Sun ripened stamp set, not quite navy for base and mat. The green paper is from a level one print pack. i watercoloured the images with pumpkin pie, close to cocoa for branch, and old olive, garden green for leaves. To top it off I used some ww ribbon, and a piece from the hodge podge kit.

Eastern elegance bookmark

Been trying to post more lately but my ^$#+*%camera isn't taking good pictures. Maybe it's me. A friend of mine wants to make some bookmarks so I made up a few to show her.

All SU unless said so.

Blue-eastern elegance SS in tempt turq & brilliant blue, matted on Brill. Blue. Used the sprayer mabob in tempting turq.

Pink you can't see that great so I won't bother giving deets.

Baroque wreath

I got the inspiration for this card from SCS where I had seen someone make a wreath with the Baroque motif set from SU. Being the baroque lover that I am, I just had to try it out myself.

All stuff used is SU

Baroque motifs stamp set stamped on very vanilla in handsome hunter and bravo burgundy (something like that anywho), matted on burgundy, forest foliage eyelets, an older colour I think, ribbon from ebay lady Not SU), happy holidays from a SU christmas word set

Daughter's quilt

Total sidebar here, I quilt also, this is the only other "crafty" picture I have on my computer. It's called a sampler quilt and it has 12 different blocks on it. Each block is a different pattern, I know that one is called a nine patch. You can't even see all the blocks, anyways sorry to disappoint if you were coming to look at some fantabulous paper crafting.

I made this quilt for my daughter, I also made a sampler quilt for my son. I haven't done it in along time, now that winter is coming I will have to finish the pirate quilt I am making for my husband, it was his christmas gift last year.

Blue is my fav

One of the cards I am making for my stamp a stack, I really like the simplicity of it.

All supplies SU unless noted.

Whisper white and brilliant blue, lovely as a tree stamp set, and Many merry messages stamp set.

I stamped the tree in bb, then took a zig zag glue pen and dabbed it on the tree, then sprinkled dazzling diamonds over it, same thing with the noel. Corner punch, and too little silver spots of bling.

Hallloooscream

Have I mentioned that Halloween is my favourite time of year? I just can't seem to make enough crafts for it.

I got the shadow box from IKEA, the background paper is SU something or other (current Halloween paper), I think the stamp is all night media, don't quote me on that. The spider is from SU new decor elemnts line. I sponged some black ink around the house.

Bella Rose

I have a group of friends and we get together once a month for a "splurge". This is one of the projects we will be making if I can borrow some paper from my upline. I think it's a great card to showcase paper, sometimes you just fall in love with a certain DSP.

All supplies SU, unless noted

Bkgrnd : Red riding hood (or whatever the name), DSP Bella Rose, matted on kiwi kiss, whisper white ribbon, Non SU red ribbon, the stamp set is (I think, something about best is yet to come. maybe I'm out of mind-LOL) a level 1.

Lovely as a tree

I am trying to show how versatile the lovely as atree stamp set is. Here is a masculine card.

All supplies SU

Handsome hunter (base), tree matted on brocade blue, DSP is from the kit Home again, mat pack on bottom (mat packs rock, everyone should have one), clear buttons and some hemp twine. Voila. Oh yeah, I used choc chip and handsome hunter to colour the tree.

MIA

So sorry peeps, computer is nutso, just able to get in a quick post as to why I have been MIA.

"boy" 6 x 6

You lucky dogs you, 2 posts in 1 DAY. It's because I don't want my puter to crash on me and my 1 faithful follower to be disappointed.

I have started doing 6 x 6's and am kinda diggin them. I am a scrapbooker more then anything so when I pay good money for stuff I am getting my money's worth. I started trying to use my stamps on every scrapbook page.

All supplies SU

Background old olive, stamped with veramark with stamp set starstruck, strip of summer picnic DSP, only orange mat, I made the corners ticket like with the small circle punch, tab punch in bashful blue, mat pack, square scallop punch, It's all good stamp set.

Hello my pretties, I have been unable to post as my Internet has been done for 3 days!! I've also been busy with ceramics, work, crafting. You know how it goes. My son also had his first swimming lesson today, things went well. On to the cards.

All supplies SU unless noted.

Lovely lilac, tempting turquoise for the bases

Baroque motifs stamp set used, stamped the whirly gigs in tempting turquoise, and lovely lilac for flowers.

Whisper white ribbon, and tempting turquoise.

Distressed the edges with the cutter kit, and sponged lovely lilac on them.

I did something I've never done before but seen done. It's called the spotlight technique. I really like it. Maybe I will do a little mini tutorial, please don't hold me to that though.

Harley Davidson

I am participating in a "live to ride, ride to live" swap on SCS. I was going to use my Born to ride set, then I stumbled across my harley set.

Obviously not onlySU supplies. I bought some Harley paper at my LSS, cut and matted on only orange, stamped harley image in OO, distressed sides with SU cutter kit, sponged black around the outsides and 2 black eyelets. The white circles are from the white uni pen thingy, and I traced the circles using SU mat pack.

Never enough time

I am trying to get enough projects together to make a display board. Since I am a SU demonstrator I am trying to showcase different, sets, techniques etc. I tried to upload some of the other rockin cards but I need to figure it out.

All supplies used are SU unless other noted.

Background is garden green, mats are brilliant blue, stamp sets used, lovely as a tree, warmest regards, whisper white ribbon.

Big buck

Just had my halloween stamp camp today. It was fantabulous. I didn't have alot of people sign up. but it ruled, I think a good time was had by all. I pictured below the projects we made but because they were so awesome I will probably have to post some more pictures.

I really enjoy working with masculine images. This is one of my favs.

All products used are SU.

Stamp set : noble deer

Colours : not quite navy,close to cocoa, bashful blue, and old olive DSP, whisper white ribbon, old olive brads, and the mat pack. I watercoloured the image.

Time well spent

This card was made for a hostess swap I did. I think the colours are pretty hot, I actually won for having one of the top cards.

SU time well spent, hostess stamp set.

My guys

This is a great layout I did of my 2 favourite guys. It was when hubby was going to schoold. He was doing some homework so my son plopped down beside him and did some of his own reading.

The chipboard swirl is from a pirate set (go figure), the rubons are SU, buttons from everywhere and the paper from a kit.

Afternoon Tea

I made this card awhile ago but really liked the sketch and paper so thought I would post. All supplies used are SU except the bling. AFternoon Tea DSP, chocolate chip, sage shadow, mellow moss eyelets, white craft ink and the mat pack. Enjoy

Soccer

The pic isn't the greatest but it's a start. I scrapbook waayyy more then anything. Now all I have to do is figure out how to take good pictures. I am not someone who is good with "recipes" so we will see how that develops as my blog goes.

I know I used the SU set called I love soccer, thanks to my sister for loaning it to me.
