Snow Much Fun!

A snowy day here last week reminded me of what's to come...ready or not! Faith was standing at the window saying, "Snow harder!! I want to go sledding!" Luckily, her wish didn't come true and within a few hours the snow had melted and the sun was shining again. I don't know about you, but I think it can wait a while before it's time to go sledding! I do love snowmen though. Do you think that's a little contradictory? I especially love our Snow Much Fun set. The snowmen are just so cute and so easy to watercolor.
Ingredients: Snow Much Fun, Petite Pairs (for the inside)
Paper: Wild Wasabi, Watercolor Paper, Regals Designer Series Paper Stack, Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Ink: Black Stazon, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Basic Pearls Jewels, Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive,Dazzling Details

This card was pretty labor intensive. I don't know why, but for some reason, I just couldn't quite adding just a little bit more! You know me...just one more  little touch. I love this fold too! I did make the edges just 3/4" wide instead of the 1" wide that the original pattern called for. That gave me a little more room for the snowman in the center. Here's a view from the side of him...
The border along the edge is the smaller snowflakes on the embossing folder cut out and added with a little of the Dazzling Detail to give it a little glimmer. Wouldn't a snowflake border punch be awesome? A little more of the Dazzling Detail was added to the snowball and to the embossed snowflakes on the main image.
I love how fast it dries and how mess free it is! You have to try it if you haven't yet!
The inside was layered and stamped with the Petite Pairs Merry Christmas and the stocking from the Snow Much Fun set stamped and colored to match. I probably won't be making a lot of these, but I sure do love this one!
Hope you're not getting snowed on too much yet! Enjoy your weekend and do some stamping!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Scrapbook on the Walls

I love to scrapbook too! I put a lot of time into the pages I create, and have found that scrapbook frames are a great way to scrapbook on the walls and be able to enjoy those creations before adding them to a book.  I have been working on a gift for my daughter-in-law, whose birthday was last week. I finally finished it yesterday and I'm really excited to get it mailed to her. I used the Six Sided Sampler stamp set, stamped them with the stitched hexagon on scraps of Designer Series Paper in Early Espresso, then dabbed each side on the ink pad to add the dark edge to them. The flowers are cut from the Floral Fusion Sizzlit, also shaded, curled a little to give them some shape and added with a dimensional. Love, love, love the new Expressions Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog! I can see that I will be using them a lot for scrapbook pages and for cards! Pearls, iridescent embossing on the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri set add a little bling to the page. Matching pun

Thank You!

I've been able to make lots of thank you cards this summer. You see, I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, and through the process, I've had some very kind and giving people. It has humbled me greatly to hear the number of people that are praying for me, and knowing that each prayer is brought before our Mighty King and He hears and answers each one. It makes me very grateful! It has been a different summer than what we had planned, that's for sure! Chemo has not been kind some days, and then other days, I feel "normal" and back to myself again...except for no hair! I'm getting used to wearing hats and scarves, though I still can't get used to the people that look at me like I have something missing. I just try to smile and not let it bother me. Maybe they'll figure it out, and then maybe not.Thank you for the support and love I have felt from my family and friends! I know that I don't fight this battle alone and I cherish each one of you!
