Sweet Friend with a Sketch

Hi Everyone, 

 

When I got home from work last night- I changed my clothes into some comfy pajamas and then I went into my craft room.  I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do, so I pulled up a sketch by My Favorite Things.  Why Yes I do have some MFT stamps in my stash, so I pulled out something I haven't used yet (I know I am not the only one that has stamps they haven't used yet..lol).

 

So Here it is...

The Stamp set I chose to use is Tropical Sensation.  I also used the dies that coordinate with the stamp set. 

I used a Tim Holtz Stencil to create the background on the green cardstock.  The white dots are from a stencil by Heidi Swapp that was purchased from Michaels.  All the inks I used are all from Hero Arts.  The pattern paper is from an old 6 x 6 paper pad by Heidi Grace.  I believe I purchased it from JoAnn's a while ago. 

 

This is the sketch I am using.  And you can look at it by clicking here. 

I thought I would share a picture of my desk to show you a "work in progress" of what it looks like while I am creating.  WHAT A MESS.  If you notice- I ended up not using a few pieces.  And even on the green cardstock, I ended up flipping it over and covering up the hearts and ended up using dots instead.  :) After I was done creating- I put everything back to where it belongs.  :) 

Ink Splats on Cards

Hey Everyone, 
 
All I can say is TGIF.  What a busy week this has been at work.  So glad the week end is here.  I plan to do a little bit more organizing in my Craft Room and do a little bit of scrapbooking.  What are your plans for the week end?  Any plans of crafting the week end?  

 

 I was fortunate enough to go over to a friends house Thursday after work and stamp for a few hours.  Today's card is one of the 4 designs we made.  

 

I used Tim Holtz Stencil to create the splat with Hero Arts Ink pads and sponge daubers.  The stamped image on both cards came from My Favorite Things and I stamped with Versamark and embossed with fine black embossing powder.  

    

The embossing of the black adds so much to this flat easy card.  To finish off the card & because the card base is black- I cut another piece of white card stock to go inside the card and added another splat on the bottom right.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Perfect Blend

Hey There Everyone!

Long time no post.  Sorry about that.  I am sure many of you understand that day to day life expectations does tend to gets in the way of actual posting.  :)  But, that doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking of you all.

I started out making this card over at a friends house and just couldn't make it work.  So, I came home and pulled out My Favorite Things stamps and stamped the background.  Then added a layer to use my already stamped out image of the coffee cup and sentiment.  (both are by Stampin' Up, along with the paper).  

Below is a side view of the card.  

I can't leave you without a post of my cute baby girl.  :)

Miss Daisy is on the top cushion of the couch and her friend Maya is the Mini Schnauzer.  I just love this baby girl.  :)

Thanks for stopping by today.
