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

Punchy Scarecrow

Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra

Faith had so much fun naming them as we went. Can you see which ones look like Grandpa? Grandma? (that's me!) or her Mommy or Daddy?? Michael? Gabe? Lily? Collin? Ingredients: Paper Pumpkin Pie Ink: Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Black Marker, White Pen, Sponge Daubers, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Glue Dots, Lollipops The Pumpkin Pie paper is cut 5 1/4" by 1 1/2", scored at 1 7/8" and 3 3/8" All the ovals were sponged with Cajun Craze, the face drawn on with markers and the white pen, the cheeks added with the Riding Hood Red and a Q-tip. The wrapper to the lollipop is stuck together with glue dots, and the ribbon attached for the leaves. Easy and fun! So if you're having one of those days and need to hang with a few friends, or
