Friday is just for you today! :)

Good Friday Morning! Are you having a great day? Do you have big plans for this weekend? It's going to be GLORIOUS weather here in middle Tennessee. The trees are lovely, the sun is shining, and the sky has been truly BLUE. :)

Today's card is one I designed especially for you. I wanted to do something to show you how the new Illuminate pad works. I made sure my music staff roller was completely cleaned off, then inked it up in the Illuminate pad and rolled it on that Midnight Muse. Think Frost White Shimmer Paint meets VersaMark - it's a soft, shimmery white. It didn't quite have enough sparkle for me, though, so I used a spritzer with alcohol and Frost White Shimmer Paint in it to add just a bit more shimmer.

NOTE: That "tidings of comfort & joy" is from the WORD PLAY set, which is one of the stamp sets that Stampin' Up! is selling per stamp right now. It's such a fun stamp set! If you don't have a lot of money to invest in the whole set, I'd highly recommend taking a look at getting a few of the stamps from it while you can get them "piecemeal". :)

Here's the "recipe". If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!

Card stock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Midnight Muse, Brushed Gold

Ink: Illuminate, VersaMark

Stamp set: Word Play

Accessories: corner rounder, dimensionals, Music Notes standard wheel and handle, heat tool, gold embossing powder, Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Delights

That hardest part of anything I use it on is waiting for Dazzling Delights (or Crystal Effects!!!) to dry without putting my finger into it. :D

OK, I'm outta here. I guess I was kind of wordy today! LOL I would love to hear from you about the 12 Weeks projects I've shown so far this year in your email; please let me know what you think. :) I feel like I'm whistling in the dark. :D

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Take the time to STAMP something - the holiday season starts NOW! :D

It's FRIDAY! You MADE it! :D

It's the end of the week - and time to show you my favorite card. When I designed this one, I made my mom come in from where she was working in the garden to see it. :D I hope you love it as much as I do!


Card stock: Whisper White, brushed silver

I'm outta here! Gotta rest up for tonight. :D Have a WONDERFUL day, and be SURE to stamp something!

Wednesday is the middle! :D

Ink: VersaMark

Stamp sets: Lovely as a Tree, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Sincere Salutations (inside)

I'm outta here - going to get to go to church with Kenn tonight! Yea! Have a wonderful day, and be sure to MAKE the time to stamp SOMEthing! :D

My next favorite card....

Good Tuesday Morning! I hope you're having a great week! :) Lines, costumes, and lines are on MY mind this week. Phew. :D I can't wait to do the show, tho - it's VERY demanding physically, and I've got a pretty big part. Come see me as the evil stepmother! :D I perform this weekend; next weekend, the part will be done by the incredible Paula Fox. Tickets are available - you can call the church at 615.444.0776 for information - for Thursdays ($9, show only), Fridays ($20, dinner and show), Saturdays and Sundays ($12, dessert and show). I would SOOOOOOOO love to see you there! :D

Isn't it fun? :D

OK, I'm outta here. Final dress rehearsal is tonight! EEP! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to make the time to STAMP something!!

Happy Monday - I hope! :D

Wow, what a weekend! We had a successful garage sale on Friday and Saturday, and since I was keeping the money, I worked it. And HOW! :D It was beautiful weather here in Middle Tennessee; I hope and pray all my friends and family - and yours, as well - in the path of this weekend's storms are safe and sound.

This week, every day will feature a card from last week's Quick Card Class. I'm going to do them in order of my faves - so the first one is my LEAST favorite. :D You'll have to wait until Friday to see my fave!!! And each post will be kind of short; my show opens on Thursday, so it's a BUSY week!!! :)

Without further adieu, here is today's!

Card stock: Basic Black, Whisper White

Inks: Basic Black, Basic Gray

Stamp sets: Sincere Salutations, A Note of Thanks (inside)

Accessories: Big Shot, Stripes embossing folder, Designer Frames embossing folder, corner rounder, dimensionals, sponge dauber

So, there ya go. :D Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!!!!

Good FRIDAY morning! Aren't you glad it's FRIDAY!?!? :D

Today's card is another we did for my party in March. I really, really love this one - and I think, for some reason, browns make great colors for sympathy cards.

Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Stamp sets: Fabulous Florets, Word Play, Teeny Tiny Wishes (inside)

Accessories: Big Shot, Chocolate Chip 1/2" Scallop Dot Ribbon (LOVE this stuff!), Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder, clear embossing powder, heat tool, sponge dauber, dimensionals, Labels Collection Framelits Dies, sponge

And here's the inside:

I really, really like this card! I hope you do, too!

OH! We're having a garage sale today and tomorrow, LOADS of stuff. If you can come by between 8 and 2, please come see me! :D

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

Good morning! Hope you're enjoying this week's posts so far! :)

Today's card is one I whipped up rather quickly - because I already had the card stock cut! (Remember the "He is Risen" card from last Friday?)
I got the Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Set during Sale-a-bration, when I could get them for FREE with a $50 order! Yes, they had regular IB&C merchandise again this year - and you can bet your buttons I took advantage. :D This was the card I threw together within two minutes of pulling the frames out of the box! :D SO simple to make an elegant card with!!

OK, I'm outta here!! Have a WONDERFUL day, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

OK, who doesn't love Cookie Monster?? :D I found one like this on Pinterest - how much fun is that site?!?! :D - and knew we had to do this, too. Our hostess club did this one! :) I did add the inking to the edges of the cookie, so I DID make it my own. :D

We used Pacific Point for Cookie, then obviously Whisper White and Basic Black for eyes and mouth. The cookie is Crumb Cake, sponged with the same ink, and speckled with - what else?!?!? Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day! Be sure and MAKE the time to STAMP something!

Did someone say S'MORE?

Good morning! I hope you're having a fantastic week so far! :)

I know today's SEEMS to be an Easter project, but it doesn't HAVE to be. :D They make PEEPS for every holiday now, I think! LOL!We had a great time making these at my party two weeks ago, and I think they make adorable gifts!

SO. Products are pretty simple; Pretty in Pink card stock, ink, and 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. 2'3/8" scallop circle punch and 1-3/4" circle punch. Chocolate Chip card stock and ink, Very Vanilla card stock, and MY DIGITAL STUDIO to do the directions. We also used the Very Vintage jumbo wheel to decorate, dimensionals to pop the medallion up and to hold the contents in, and the 3"x5" cello bags were what we put the goodies in, of course. :)

Here's what it looks like when you open it up:


They're really just too cute for words. They'd make a fantastic birthday treat for a kids' classroom, or Sunday school treats, or or or! :D

OK, I'm outta here. Go STAMP something, will ya?!? :D

Look! TWO Mondays in a row! :D

I'm back! Did you have a wonderful Easter? I really hope so. I hope you got a chance to rest and relax with loved ones. I know we had the chance to take photos of families who were able to get together. So wonderful to see! :)

ANYWAY. I know it's past Easter, but I wanted to show this card off. :) It was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest; we did it at our hostess club, because I wanted to spend some extra time with the girls. :D

Card stock: Concord Crush, Whisper White, So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron

Stamps: Four Frames, Teeny Tiny Wishes, The Sounding Joy(see below; Stampin' Up! considers stamp sets from minis to be potentially in the new IB&C for a year after they're first released, so it's *technically* still there!)

Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Square die, Sweetest Stems Embosslit, bird punch, decorative label punch, eyelet border punch, dimensionals, 1/4" Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, Just Add Cake DSP


Here's a shot of the inside! It's just a fun card. :)

OK, I'm outta here. Since I'm setting these up in advance - so I actually DO it! - there's a possibility I might have a new computer by now. If not, HOPEFULLY soon! )

Have a wonderful day! Be SURE and take the time to stamp something!

HE IS RISEN!

"He is risen, indeed!" is the response the early believers would give one another, to identify themselves. Today is Good Friday; remembering that He died for each and every person, each and every sin, in one of the cruelest and more horrible ways imaginable. Sunday, we get to celebrate His resurrection! Want more? ASK ME! :)

So, today you're getting the Easter card we did at a new group party last Saturday, and at my party last week! I really love it - and I think everyone else did, too. ) I did it in other colors below; I like the original best, but the other's pretty, too! :)

Card stock: Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder

Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder

Stamps: HE IS RISEN (Occasions Mini); inside uses FOUR FRAMES and TEENY TINY WISHES

Accessories: Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Labels Collection Framelits Dies, Big Shot, sponge dauber, dimensionals

This was a HUGE hit. :) And of course, we used the Big Shot. :D You've missed me, haven't you? Then say it all together: I LOVE MY BIG SHOT! :D




Here's the second card I did; it uses Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, and Whisper White, and instead of just using Classic Ink on the medallion, I used VersaMark and Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder. :)

OK, I'm outta here! HAPPY EASTER!! (Oh, and please forgive any major typos; my laptop has now gotten a virus, and so I'm trying to keep blogging on my little netbook. I'm doing the photos on Kenn's computer, so it's all about availability! :D)

Make the time to STAMP something! :)
