EBTKS + Embellish = Fabulous

Hey Everyone!  Today's day at work went very well and I'm happy to say it won't keep me up at night with worry.  Lots to learn but the ladies I work with are really fabulous and patient. 

This card was made for three challenges: EBTKS, CAS-tastic, and Embellish.  The current CAS-tastic challenge was to use three of several techniques on one card.  I chose image stamping, paper piercing, and inked edges.  This card really was simple but it packs a punch with those colours and paper piecing and piercing.

For the piercing bit I stamped and cut the leaf image, placed it on my cardstock and pierced the outline.  It give's a much more subtle affect than paper piecing or stamping but still defines the image.  Neat hey?  Those terrific patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Fly a Kite collection.  Love it!  I bought it for my birthday a month ago and finally got it in the mail last friday.  Haven't had much time to play around with it but I'll try to make some time this weekend.

Tomorrow I'll be working a full day and won't be home for dinner but fortunately for me (or probably more so for my hubby) my mother-in-law plans to have dinner ready for him when he gets home.  Today I'm grateful for a supportive family...what are you grateful for? You might be grateful to hear about Ann's Blog Anniversary giveaway.  Just head on over to check out her wonderful CAS creations and a chance to win!  You won't be disappointed.

Courage is the Key

Hello everyone!  I managed to get a couple of cards done this weekend and both of them are for the current Kitchen Sink Sketch Challenge.  I have even a couple more ideas for this sketch that's how inspiring I found it.

Anyhow, the card I'll share with you today kind of ties in with the courage I'm having to find in myself as I enter the work force again after 7 years!  Today I had my second day at my bookkeeping job and man I feel so overwhelmed with all the things I'm worried I'll forget.  Tomorrow I start my regular 9 to 3 job as an Accounts Receivable clerk and and I'm on pins and needles waiting to meet my new co-workers. I'm anxious to know how well I'll jive and how long it will take me to get in the swing of things again.  If there's one thing I can say I'm not afraid of learning and I'm determined enough to do it right.  

The sentiment of this card I had to make myself and the line actually came from a Barbie song on my daughter's ipod.  It's funny where we tend to find our inspiration isn't it?  It holds so true though, without courage we fail to see the possibilities in life.  I know I should have used the printer to make the sentiment instead of using a combo of stamps and freehand but I didn't want to fiddle around with the layout (plus I did the ribbon ruffles first and couldn't exactly run it through the printer.)

Well I hope you have a fabulous day and thanks so much for stopping by.  Today I'm grateful for my family's health and strength during stressful times.  What are you grateful for?

Grateful for You

Today's card come from the inspiring EBTKS sketch challenge and pictures I took of the fresh flowers I have in my house.  I must say the one thing I've been enjoying about trying to sell the house is the weekly flower arrangements.  A month later and I've gotten a little smarter and started buying potted plants like Orchids and Cyclamen.  

During our last girls craft night I was telling Maureen of how I was inspired to recreate these roses with paper.  I needed something lighter than cardstock but stronger than tissue, then she showed me her little collection of crepe paper that she so graciously shared with me =)  And here are the results.  I went out of my comfort zone for this card as I don't do a lot of distressing and soft colours.  Would it qualify for shabby chic? I know the ledger paper has become popular or as usual it just going out of style once I think to use it.  It came from the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend collection.  The fabric brad is from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses collection.  I'd have to say that my favourite little detail about this card is the light green flourish I paired with the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you were encouraged to find inspiration in something around your house.  Happy Crafting

Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

It will be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,

To bow and to bed we shall not be asham'd,

To turn, turn will be our delight,

Till by turning, turning we come round right.

~Joseph Bracket 1848~

Simple was what came to mind when trying to create this card for the current CAS-tastic challenge which is to make the sentiment your focal point.  The simple theme also brought me to one of my favourite songs I listen to with my kids.  Do you have Jewel's Lullaby album?  It's on my top ten simply for her renditions of  "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Forever and a Day".  My ipod is set to this music when trying to find some tranquility in a noisy house.  While this song was originally written in a Shaker community it has made it's way into the hymnals of contemporary Christian denominations.  And apparently even Weezer has included their rendition in two of their albums.  How's that for popular even 162 years after it was written?

Anyhow, back to the simple theme, I used one border punch, one label die, one stamp, and some canvas letter stickers.  Oh and I added a few clear buttons painted with nail polish  for the latest EBTKS challenge.  If you're not someone that uses buttons very often nail polish is a great thing to use because it covers any colour so that the embellishment can better match your project. No need to collect a million buttons in various colours (like I have) and save yourself some money with something you may already have laying around your house. The label die was made using the woodgrain packaging from the Making Memories canvas stickers so I even managed to recycle.

Thank you friends for leaving all your kind words even though I haven't been hangin' around blogland lately.  I've been really busy getting my resume together looking for a part-time job and I'm also in the process of registering back at school to finish up that Bachelor's degree.  So with all the stress of trying to sell the house, job hunting, school, and home I just haven't had the time for inspiration.  When I do find some down time I've usually got my nose in a book. Right now I'm rediscovering the works of Farley Mowat in "The Dog that Wouldn't be".  It's light, humorous and enjoyable.

A Sunny Thank You

Happy Thursday everyone!  Hope your week is going well and have fabulous plans for the weekend.  We have none here.  However, tonight my hubby is taking me out to a movie.  We don't know which one yet but I'll let you know tomorrow.

This post is for that EBTKS sketch challenge that I'm posting late.  Challenge tardiness is probably something I'll have to get use to once we start packing our things.  I'm going to miss having a craft room for a few weeks.  Anyhow, loved this sketch and thought of doing different textures but decided in the end to use different depths in dimension.  

Foam tape has become one of my go to tools since that last Embellish Challenge. The white focus panel and the large polkadot paper are adhered with foam tape while there a couple of trims that are applied only with glue tape.  I used up the little bits of scraps left over from the Scenic Route Ashville collection.  I'm going to miss that paper.  So cheerful and bright.

On the home from we had the house inspectors come this morning to look at our house.  It took 3 hours and because I was babysitting the twins and my daughter was home sick this morning.  I was unable to leave the house.  It's hard to keep your nose out of things when you know they're scrutinizing everything about the house.  I seriously never want to have to do this again.

Steps:

1) Make card from cs

2) Trim different pattern papers in different widths 

3)  Trim focal panel and stamp sentiment.

4) Mat different papers to cs with glue tape and foam tape.

5) Adhere embellishments

Everything But The Kitchen Sink ~ Envelopes

The challenge this time over EBTKS was to use envelopes.  My idea isn't at all original as I picked up the idea over at Splitcoast.  The instructions to make this very handy gift bag are really super easy and fast. I used the Snowburst stamp set as confetti and I got a chance to ink up my new Verve Blessings set which I bought with the Verve Gift Certificate I won during their last release contests.  Unfortunately the only envelope I had had writing on the back (small blessings that it was the back) but this was only a test to see how simple it could be.  

Sorry the picture isn't the greatest.  I was in a hurry this morning before I cleaned off the front deck and got the remainder of our garbage and clutter out of our house before we list for sale. I thought this challenge was the perfect opportunity to share with you my favourite room in my lovely home.  It just happens to be the Kitchen.  

I love my kitchen...it has served me well and I actually don't even enjoy cooking.  It's big with lots of counter space and storage, a view of the back yard and the view of the city in the front.  I can visit with our friends while I'm busy cooking or cleaning.  As the kids have been growing up I have been able to watch them in the living room while I am busy in the kitchen.  Even as I write this I am sitting at the island while they watch Sleeping Beauty.  You're probably wondering why we would think about selling if we love our house so much but it comes right down to space.  Despite a huge kitchen our house isn't big enough to house THREE future teenagers and I want us to feel comfortable enough that they can bring their friends over as well.  If we had just stuck to the plan of only 2 kids we wouldn't have a need to move but God blessed us with bigger and better plans.

Anyhow, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY and have a wonderful sunday!

Steps:

1) Follow instructions from Splitcoast for the Bag-A-Lope

Elements:

Paper: White envelope, Whisper white

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Rose Red, Versamark, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories: Black embossing powder (SU!), Scallop dot border punch (MS), dollar bin ribbon

Stamps: Snowburst (SU!), Blessings (Verve)

Postcard from Paris

Have you ever had really big expectations of a project but were disappointed in the execution?  That's what this card is for me.  When I saw the sketch over at Everything But the Kitchen Sink I knew I wanted to think outside of the box and not follow the sketch literally.  With that in mind I envisioned an invisible border for that round curve.  At first I thought of city skyline silhouette but trying to find the right image (for free) was hard.  Anyone know of any great free clipart sites?  I came across this image of the Eiffel Tower and thought why not give it a try.  So I've done the best with what I had and it was nice to try something new even if I'm not crazy about it.   I might just try that sketch again.

This also falls under the requirements for the Off the Wall Challenge #3: A travel theme.  It reminds me of when I was in Paris in 2000.  I can't believe it was a decade ago!  Unfortunatele the third floor of the Tower was closed for the mayors Gala so I only got as high as the second floor but the fantastic part was the fireworks!!!  What an amazing view for fireworks!  

First I printed the image on to PTI white paper then I sponged the moon on using a 1 3/4" circle template and a small piece of a plain kitchen sponge (unused of course).  I added the stickles stars and water coloured the bushes.  Then I added the green border that reminded me of the neat and elegant fencing they have around the parks of paris.  I stopped there and then went to look at the card this morning and decided to sponge in a night time sky using Soft Suede and Not Quite Navy.

My last note of the day is a special thank you to Нети for thinking of me and passing on this award. She's fellow Cinema Saturday competitor from Bulgaria. I've decided not to pass it on but I would be happy to list 5 things that you probably don't know about me and 10 things that make me happy.

5 Things about Me:

1. My parents seperated when I was in my mid 20's.  This experience drew me to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how old children are, they are still very much affected by their parents decisions.
2. I don't go to church as often as I should but I have a firm belief that God is present and in control in my life.
3. I don't have many friends but those that I have I love dearly.
4. My guilty tv pleasures include reruns of Buffy, Angel, and Roswell.
5. Since having kids of my own I find it really difficult to watch the news.

10 Things that Make Me Happy:

1. Listening to my kids converse with each other.  Sometimes it's hilarious.
2. Watching my kids play especially make belief.  It's amazing what runs through their precious minds.
3. When dh shares his work day with me.
4. When hubby gets up on Sunday mornings with the kids.  It gives me a chance to sleep in and coffee is made when I get up.
5. Watching my kids sleep.
6. Long snuggles with my kids in bed or on the couch.
7. Winter....short days with cold excuses to stay indoors and enjoy a good book or stay in my craft studio.
8. Sunshine
9. Music
10. Making new friends.

Anyhow, thanks for stopping by.  I hope it wasn't too long for you and that you aren't as disappointed in this creation I as I am.  Hope your week is fabulous.

With Appreciation

So I've had the last Sketch Challenge at EBTKS sitting on my desk for the last couple of weeks.  I've had an idea forming in my head for ages but for whatever reason I didn't find the time to put it together in time.  Bummer because Kelly Marie was giving away a couple of her cute new stamp sets.  But I wanted to finish this idea and show Kelley Eubanks that she came up with an awesome sketch.  Not that she checks my blog but just in case LOL ;)

Since this is an appreciation card it also works for the new Sisterhood of Crafters latest challenge.  Looking back now I should have formed the hills on scrap paper and then trimmed to the height that I wanted.  They are a little too tall  but it was too late after they were taped to the card base  I really like the faux stitched border and the zen feeling of all that green.  The Mixed Messages (PTI) sentiment came in handy because it gives a greeting without taking away from the focal scene.

To go with this appreciation theme I want to thank all of my blog followers and friends.  You inspire and encourage me everyday and I am extremely thankful for that.  I do want to send a special thanks out to my most loyal blog friends who  always make sure to find time to check out my creations and I find it so amazing that they look at my rookie projects when they are so unbelievably talented.  I am going to list them in alphabetical order so that no measure of importance can be made because they are all equally special to me.

1) Courtney 

2) Jessica 

3) Karen 

4) Maureen 

5) Melisa Unfortunately she doesn't have a blog but you can find her wonderful creations on Splitcoast

6) Tanis  

If you find the time be sure to check out these ladies fabulous blogs.  They all have wonderful and different designs and writing styles.  Now thanks to all of you for stopping by and I hope you've been inspired to show your appreciation!

Sugar and Spice

Wow, I've managed to combine three challenges for this one and I managed to make a birthday card for my daughters friend.  It's going to be her first sleepover.  I'm okay with it and she's totally cool with it.  We're use to her spending the night at her grandparents and it's also nice knowing that her aunt lives just down the street just in case she doesn't want to sleep at her friends for the whole night.  You never know right?

Anyhow, I hope it doesn't bother you that I've smudged the photo of my daughter and her friend.  I know it's less esthetically pleasing to the eye but I'm not entirely comfy about posting pictures of my kids and I'm certainly not comfortable posting pictures of other peoples kids.  So I hope you can get past that element to enjoy all the others.  

Now down to business.  It all started with seeing the current challenge and sponsor over at Everything But The Kitchen Sink.  The challenge was to use string and the sponsor is The DigiChick.  I had just been talking (aka emailing) my new blog friend Karen B. about using digital.  She gave it a try and I hadn't so I thought what a perfect opportunity for me to try.  As I was browsing DigiChick's $2 tuesday specials I came across Sugar and Spice paper and elements packs.  Fabulous!!! Now I actually had something to work with the current Cinema Saturday presentation of Julie and Julia something to do with cooking.

I know you're probably thinking why a birthday card? But like Sugar and Spice my daughter and her friend are also a dynamic duo.  And like most little girls they both have lots of sugar and spice in their personalities.  One has more sugar and the other has even more spice.  

The last part of my challenge puzzle was to pick a sketch and what better sketch to use than Karen Sweet Sunday Sketch.  So everything is digital except for the linen thread, buttons and Sage Shadow cs in the background.  The focus panel was cut, distressed and inked with Soft Suede. I cut out the flower and did the same distressing and inking.  I can really see how handy these digital files can be when when working with photos or wanting to reuse the same embellishments.  Oh yeah and if you run out of your favourite dp....just print some more.  I know it will be a lot more handy when I can figure out how to layer on photoshop but for today's work I think it was all worth.  The only drawback is the learning curve and I'm not sure I have enough time to devote to it.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you've been inspired.  Have a fabulous week.

March Viva La Verve #1

Good afternoon friends!  Happy Friday!!  Are you enjoying the festivities and challenges for Verves release party?  I know I will be.  I always inspiring to see something new (even if I can't buy it all).  Last night I managed to come up with this card.  I was very surprised because I've been struggling all week to make something I really liked.  This week I learned two very important lessons when it comes to this craft.  Firstly, I should always start with a challenge that inspires me the most regardless of the "due date".  Secondly, too many ideas can be just as bad if not worse than having none.  Having too many makes it hard for me to commit to anything!  My six year old daughter was the one who ended up encouraging me to stick with one of my ideas when I became discouraged.  The end results were better than I was expecting and you'll see that card tomorrow for the Cinema Saturday Challenge. What do you do when you're stuck in a creative rut?  I'd love to hear your helpful hints :)

Anyhow, on with the card. I chose to use the shabby cottage kitchen picture. I liked the creams and neutrals with a very small hint of mellow colour (I chose Blush Blossom).  For the distressed country feeling I sanded the swiss dot panel and the two panels I made using the Hundred Hearts stamp set. (Those hearts are the main reason I bought that set).  The edges were distressed using my scissors (no fancy tools) and I lightly sponged over the swiss dot and panel edges.  I couldn't decide on what coloured ribbon I wanted to use so I used both :) Now my favourite part of this card is the butterfly made out of the same fabric I used for my first Mojo Card this week. I like how the beading turned out for the body and antennae. This is just one of those projects where everything fell nicely into place and it was relaxing to create.  I'm also happy to have something pretty to enter the EBTKS fabric challenge.

Thanks so much for popping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Easter Mojo.

Does the colour scheme look familiar?  That would be because it was my attempt at doing the current Embellish Magazine challenge except that I forgot the border!  That's about how my creativity is going this week.  I'm lost.  Me thinks it's time to take a couple of days break and read a good book.  And I would except that I'm the guest designer for Cinema Saturday this week and I want to come up with something more than just nice.  I've been wanting to win that Audrey Award since before Christmas and now that time has finally come and I'm stuck!  My guess is that's what separates the pros from the amateurs and I am very much still an amateur!

Anyhow, this card does fill two other wonderful challenges 1) Mojo Monday 2) Everything But the Kitchen Sink (EBTKS).  This is another challenge that I try hard to participate in.  Their monthly sketches are based on something around the house and then they have another monthly challenge using an element from around the house.  It's all very outside the box and I find it helps find a greater depth in my creativity.  I was so delighted and honoured to make the top 5 for EBTKS last sketch challenge. Thanks ladies! Their next challenge is to add fabric to your project.  The bottom and top flower layers are fabric from a birthday dress that my mom made for my daughter a few years back.  It was a beautiful dress with a peach petticoat and venetian lace that I had pick up during my last visit to meet my Italian in-laws. 

The card isn't very fancy but I think it's still pleasant to the eye and sentimental (just the way I like them).  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Make It Count

This card came from multiple inspirations.  1) Everything but the Kitchen Sink Sketch Challenge 2) Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 3) Cinema Saturday Movie: Clueless and 4) My favourite upbeat Scenic Route dp.

It just happened that both sketch challenges were very similar.  I just made each square the same size rather than the bigger center square for the Sweet Sunday Sketch.  As for how this card relates to the Cinema Saturday challenge, there's a point in the Movie Cher (Silverstone) was quoting Horace's "Carpe Diem". I decided to make a cheerful and uplifting card based on that.

Anyhow, there are a lot of details to this card, lots of layers and textures and shapes.  I hope you'll take the time to look at them up close.  You might have to look closer to see the Make it Count sentiment in the flower's center. There's hand stitching on the front panels, sewed stitching as well as orange beads added to the flower.  I've been trying to add some beadwork to my projects lately.  Since I'm not much of a bead crafter, I find it hard to do without making it look tacky.

Hope you are having a fabulous week.  Happy crafting!

Warm Hug ~ Verve Style

Happy Terrific Tuesday everyone!  This is my quiet day with only the little guy in the house so, for me, it is indeed Terrific! I have a couple of posts to share with you today for the Verve Tags, Tins And Treats Project Parade.  This post is also for the Everything But The Kitchen Sink challenge: to use a box top in your projects.  I chose to use the box top from Nestle's Rich and Creamy Hot Chocolate as well as the individual packets for the treat.

For the Thanks a Latte card I used the box flap to hold my chocolate treat package together. See the picture below to see how I covered most of it up and cut the slit.  For my second packet I used 3/4" circle punch out the "Made with Real Cocoa" and adhered it with a dimensional. This packet is held together by enveloping it in a Melon Mambo strip of paper that can be slipped off to open.  I'm not a fan of the Pink and Brown together but it was worth a try :)  Both packages can fit in an A4 envelope and used instead of a card.

What's Simple is True

We just finished a big roast dinner and ice cream cake for desert in honour of my Son's 5th birthday.  It's so hard to believe that he's 5!!  And soon my youngest baby boy will be 3, that means no more babies in the house :(  I'd like to say that means no more waking in the middle of the night but since my youngest suffers from night terrors quiet nights aren't always a reality...not yet anyway.

Anyhow, here is my entry for Everything But the Kitchen Sink.  Winter is putting on a valentine card drive for the kids at St. Jude Hospital so I would really encourage you to take a peak at her blog. You don't have to participate in the Card drive to participate in EBTKS and a chance to win a prize.

At first sight, I have to be honest and say I had no idea what I was going to do with it.  It was such a simple sketch which is nice because it leaves lots of possibilities but sometimes that's a problem for me.  In the end I stuck to stitched simplicity.  (Of course it was easy to stick to the basics with the new glittery dsp and pink cord brads that arrived at my door yesterday.)  Sometimes we complicate things when we try to add or show too much and the message gets lost.  It can be the same thing in our everyday lives too, can't it?

Thanks so much for taking a peak.  I wish you a simple but heartfelt week ahead.

Wrapping Up EBTKS

Everything But The Kitchen Sink's latest challenge is to use wrapping paper.  Shouldn't be hard to do considering all the Christmas paper we probably have laying around after the holidays right?  But then....I don't know about you but I'm kind of tired of my Christmas cards.  And the only wrapping paper I had laying around was this piece of orange paisley paper from the Fall Purdy's Chocolates boxes.  Paisley isn't quite my style but it all came together well enough.  I do like the colour combo and the scallop punch (my last remnants from my play date with Maureen).

Like I said this isn't my best work or my style but I'm just happy that I managed to find time to play along with EBTKS.  Their challenges are based on things around our house like TP and tooth picks.  The awesome design team forces you to think outside the box. You have until January 8th for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate.  So check it out and join in the FUN
