This was taken a few days ago, when the weather was a bit hotter. According to our children, “everyone else has a pool: they have a big pool, or a small pool, but a pool, CAN WE HAVE A POOL???!?”. We bought a 6 month pass for the city pools & have been grateful guests [...]

Lantern to Style Up the Studio
Posted in Crafts for fun, Tutorial, tagged Crafts for fun, Paper Lantern, Tutorial on July 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
If you knew my craft studio, you’d laugh. It’s in a corner in the unfinished basement. We moved a year & a half ago & many things are still in boxes because we are clutter people. I like to think that I am way better at getting rid of stuff than DH, but I have [...]
Happy 30th to MIL & FIL …
Posted in Family, Stampin', tagged Anniversary, Card, Creative Stampin' on July 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Here’s a quick Anniversary card for DH’s parents. All of the anniversary cards I googled were white with embossing & wedding like & oh I dunno, I wanted something a bit more cheery and bright, I mean, wow 30 years, that’s tough to do these days.
Used the new Cricut cutter with Martha Stewart’s PP, some [...]

Here is some more of my favourite paper at the moment … Martha Stewart’s Classic Botanical Paper Pad: just beautiful patterns and colours.
I used the Stampin’ Up 1 3/8″ Circle Punch and threw on some buttons (using super sticky tape), along with some Certainly Celery Card Stock.
I never realized how minimal my layouts are. I [...]

Kristina Weekly Colour Inspiration is here, number 17! This week her colour inspiration comes from this beautiful dress. I love it!
The Colours that were pulled were:
And here’s the card. I actually started off with something completely different, as I had a bunch of “flower buttons” that matched & was thinking of working off of the [...]
Ribbons of thanks

These colours are a bit autumn like, but the weather has had a freak turn to cooler. I don’t mind, but for the kids, it makes it a bit cool for the water park. Hoping it’ll warm up just a bit more soon.
This card is just some ribbon weaving & the thanks was embossed with [...]
Cottage Scrapbooking

Here’s just a quick layout that I put together this morning. I saw the idea for highlighting the clear letter in this month’s Making Memories magazine. Jill Paulson, on page 33, had a HUGE letter painted around the outside to show the bottom picture through.
I’d like to do a few more scrappin’ pages of [...]

I LOVE BABIES and BABY STUFF. They always make me smile and with that in mind, here’s my card:
I cut the Pumpkin Pie CS (with Dazzlin’ Diamonds Glitter) [...]

Well here is another fun Inspiring Kristina Werner Colour Inspiration!
Kristina’s Colour Inspiration comes from West Elm, Moroccan Bedding:
I thought the patterns of the stitching were CIRCLES, but now that I’ve downloaded the picture (& already made my scrapbook layout), I see that they are oh what is that called, rhombus? Triangally-type thingies. It’s the thought that [...]
Jeremiah 29:11, Bible Verse Challenge!
Posted in Family, Stampin', tagged Bible Verses, Challenges, Creative Stampin', SplitCoastStampers on July 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This was inspired by a “Divine Design Challenge“ from SplitCoastStampers called “Bible Verse Challenge”, keyword: BVC08 (I heard of it while looking at Travelingmama’s Blog, thanks, Tina!). I thought it was a brilliant idea of how to learn the word!
I thought I’d make a note book, and since I don’t have a stamp with these verse on it, [...]
