Card set

Hello my crafty friends! Today I have some cards to share with you that I created. They all sort of go together as a card set. I have a couple more to make but I thought I would share with you what I have created so far.

My all time favorite new stamp is one of the Basic Grey/Hero Arts cling stamps. It is a background stamp. It coordinates with Basic Grey's Out of Print collection. I just love it!! I bought mine at my LSS but here is a link to the stamp. Click here!





The last card I haven't added a sentiment yet but I think it is my favorite mix of colors. Basically all I did was white embossed the background stamp on a standard sized white card base. Then I sponged on a variety of distress inks, changing up the color combo for each card. I think I like the last one the most because it has a little bit of each of the colors I have.

And that's it. Just slap on a sentiment and you have a super easy card.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway that I have going on right now. Click here to enter. Also be sure to stop by Sketch Inspiration and play along this week, we are sponsoring the sketch challenge this week and the prize is a January scrapbook kit.

And don't forget to play along with our sketch challenge here on the blog. Upload your project by January 23rd or your chance to win our February scrapbook kit. :-) Link up in the sidebar.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow, I will have another project from one of our Delightful Designers to share with you using the January kit. :-)

Thinking of you

Happy Monday morning! This will be super quick because I am on my way out the door to take my Macroeconomics final.

This card I created using some canvas I bought at Michaels about a month ago. I also bought some new Hero Arts stamps from Michaels. I was in the mood to shop, lol!! I also got some new Hero Arts note cards the other day(I see a giveaway in your future, wink).


So anywho, I stamps the image on the canvas and colored it in with my blender pen and Tim Holtz distress inks. I also used some element stickers from Basic Grey's Kioshi collection.

Well that is all for today, I am off to school! :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Sweet Dreams

Good Morning! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Mine was pretty uneventful and mildly relaxing. I got some housework done and some homework done. So I guess it was pretty productive. I also ran some errands. Is my life exciting or what? LOL! I cannot believe next Thursday is Thanksgiving. This year is coming to an end quickly and I just can't believe it. Unfortunately my oldest daughter will not be spending the holidays with us. Thanksgiving she will spend with her dad and his side of the family. Christmas she will be spending with my parents and the rest of the family in IL. Makes me sad I won't be able to make it but Tony can't get the time off work.

Anyways, today I have two projects to share with you. The first one is a LO that Jamie created using the November Monthly Kit. Seriously there is so much in this kit, you can create so many wonderful things. Elisabeth, our GD made 5 LO's and she may have had a little left over to make something else. Our DT member Debbie will have made 4 LO's and a card and if you have seen Debbie's fabulous LO's you will see she likes to layer and she still had plenty to make the 4 LO's with a little left over for a card. In addition, included in the kit is a bottle of Glimmer Mist and Stickles. Those will last much past the 4-5 LO's that can be made. So this kit is worth the money, get your hands on it while there are still some available. :-)

What a doll! She is too cute. And that LO is fabulous!

Up next is a card I made for the Waltzingmouse Sketch #23 challenge. I have never played along at Waltzingmouse but when I saw the sketch on Alice's blog over at Alice's {Little} Wonderland I knew I wanted to play along.

I used Basic Grey's Jovial collection for the PP on the card. The 6x6 paper pads are available at Artfuldelight.
The holly is a sneak peak of an item in the December Monthly Kit. I used some Stickles and colored in the "peace". That sentiment is the Christmas Wonder stamp set from Practicing Creativity Designs, also available at Artfuldelight.
I just realized that I can also enter this card in the Wee Memories challenge #31. The theme is "dust off that patterned paper."Happy Crafting!!

Limelight Papercrafts: Sketch 60: Pattern Paper

Good Morning! I am so excited because school is winding down for this semester. All I have left in most of my classes is the final. 3 more weeks of lectures and then the finals, with minimal homework. If I can pat myself on the back (of would that be wrong?) for a minute when I say that I got really good grades in my classes. Well so far at least, the finals will tell all though. LOL!

Other good news, my Lil Max took his first step the other day. Well he stepped towards the couch and then leaned on the couch. He keeps standing and trying to figure out what to do next.

And now on to the crafts, I was excited to play along with Limelight Papercrafts this week, I have seen the challenges on Karen's blog, The Bald Dragonfly, but I have never had a chance to play along. When I saw the challenge and the sketch I knew I wanted to play.



I really like the way this card turned out and it only took me about 30 minutes to make and that was really only because I cut the sentiment shape out on my Cricut. The PP is from Basic Grey's Jovial collection and I have the 6x6 paper pads available at Artfuldelight at a new low price of $4.99. :-)

The sentiment is from Practicing Creativity Designs, Christmas Wonder stamp set. Love, love love it. The wonderfully talented Karen from The Bald Dragonfly designed the set. This set is also available at Artfuldelight.

So I think I found the perfect spot to take pictures outside. Now I know everyone probably knows the importance of natural light when taking a picture and I have mentioned before that since I craft at night I photograph at night. Well last night I took a picture and it was just horrible. I didn't realize how horrible it was until I took a picture outside today and OH MY, did my pictures SUCK before. I can't guarantee great pics like this all the time (it is almost winter and I am not sure I will take pics outside if it is snowy or any colder than 32 degrees, lol) but I am just shocked. I am so embarrassed but I am going to show you the indoor, at night picture.
Eeekkkkk! What a ridiculously ugly photo. I am so sorry that is the quality photos that I would share. I will do my best not to use pics like that anymore. LOL! On a good note, with this card, I am at 3 Christmas cards so far. That's right 3! LOL! Sheesh, I better get busy or I will never be done to mail them out for Christmas 2010. LOL!

Anywho, be sure to enter my sketch challenge.

Happy Crafting!!

November's Guest Designer

Oh yay, it's the start of another week and boy do I have some fabulous projects to share with you ALL week. November's Guest Designer is Elisabeth. I came across Elisabeth's blog awhile back and I was just blown away with how beautiful her creations were. When I had my DT call, even though I didn't really specify international applicants, when Elisabeth asked if she could apply I immediately said yes. I had so many applicants and in the end I felt horrible I couldn't have asked her on as a regular member but I knew I couldn't afford to send overseas every month (at least not in the beginning). But I LOVED Elisabeth's creations so much that I certainly wanted her as a Guest Designer. When we picked all the products for November's kit I immediately knew that was the month I wanted her to be GDT. And I am glad I did because she has made some amazing projects with this kit. OK, enough rambling from me, LOL!

Here's a little bit about Elisabeth in her own words:

I live in Vienna, Austria - a most wonderful city - together with my husband and my daughter (almost 5 - she insists on this! LOL). I work fulltime as a music, drama and French teacher. For me, scrapbooking is the perfect way to wind down in the evening after a very stressful day. I am always full of energy and "need to do stuff". As a family, we do a lot of excursions outside of Vienna. I still try to perform on a regular basis, either with a professional choir or playing the violin in an orchestra. I started scrapbooking in 2006, after the birth of my sweet girl.
This is my first guest designer post and I am so excited about it.

And here is DAY 1 of projects from Elisabeth:


Absolutely beautiful! I love how she used the Glimmer Mist on the doilie and the bottom edge of the paper. For details on this LO please visit Elisabeth's blog!

Ok now here is a project from me. Now this image is a little out of my norm but when I saw it on Marlene's blog, I knew it would make the perfect card for my brother. LOL! I had a TON of fun coloring the image, I think I chuckled the whole time.


This is "Maude Merry Christmas". She is from Just Inklined. The sentiment is computer generated and perfect for my brother. LOL! I gave Maude some pleather boots, embossed using black powder. Now I have seen that liquid applique before but I never knew what it was called, but thanks again to Marlene for filling me in. :-) I ordered it to stock it in my store but I couldn't wait for the shipment to come so I had to pick it up at my LCS. I loved it so much that Maude got some fluff on her boots and gloves and of course her hat. The PP is from Basic Grey's Jovial collection, which is available at Artfuldelight.

That's it for today but I will assure you, you don't want to miss this week because I have a project filled week.

Happy Crafting!!

A boys best friend

Phew! (wiping sweat from my brow), I just got this LO in before the deadline. With 33 min to spare. This LO was created to play along with Sketchy Thursday's 10/28/10 sketch.

I say this sketch and for some reason I just know I wanted to play. I would have had this LO done this morning but Walmart made a BIG boo-boo getting my pics printed. I think the photo tech chic woke up late and then she claims she never got my first online order. Oh it was a mess. So I picked the pics up on my way home from school. I came home, made dinner, fed and bathed all 3 kids, put two of the three lil ones to bed and I then crafted while my Lil man watched Toy Story 2 for the 157th time. We rented Toy Story 3 from Redbox last night and I think in less than 24 hours, we watched that movie a dozen times. Is that even possible? LOL!

Anywho, here is the sketch and my LO! Hope you enjoy. And make sure you stop by tomorrow or shall I say Friday, well and Saturday, because I will have some more projects that the lovely DT made using November's Monthly Kit!


Now after typing this and dealing with my son I am down to 16 minutes.

Happy Crafting!!

Beware of dog...

Good Morning my friends, I have another LO to share with you today. Jamie has really been helping me out, school has been taking up my time (a little more than I thought) so she is going to share with you some LO's she made. Today's LO uses some fabulous products from Basic Grey.

The pattern paper Jamie used is Max and Whiskers! So cute! I am going to leave this post short as I have some DT submissions to go through, study for a Math test, complete some Accounting problems, maybe hit the gym, and then of course actually go to school. So it is a busy day. Oh don't forget to get creative with our first sketch challenge. You still have several weeks to get that LO done so no rush but you will want to get in on the chance to win November's monthly kit!

Happy Crafting!!

Triple Play

WOW, another week. I am really beginning to worry, where is time going? Why is it going by so fast. My lil Max is sitting up and attempting to crawl, my sweet Isabel is becoming quite the little girl, such wonderful personality, then there is my Lil Tony. WOW, he is such a handsome lil man. He is so smart, he is doing really well with his speech (in case you haven't read before, he is 3 and refused to learn to talk, we take him to speech therapy and he is doing fabulous) and in a few short (2 to be exact) he will be in kindergarten. Then last buy certainly not least my first born, Nicki bear (that's what I call her, well most of the time I just call her "Boo"). She turned 13 in the beginning of the year (well actually April) she started 8th grade this year, she will be driving and working in 3 short years and OMGoodness will be starting high school next year. I feel so sad, my babies are all growing WAY TOO FAST! One more reason I need to really get crackin on my scrapbooks.

But until then I have some more fast and easy cards using my Basic Grey's Green at Heart card kit. I made 3 over the last couple days. I thought I would just get it out of the way and post them all at once.




Ok so the lighting in my room really sucks at night, not to mention the only camera I know how to use in the house is my camera phone. It's easy, all ya have to do is push one button. The only other camera we have is Tony's and it is some hi-tech piece of equipment and I just don't want to deal with it. So basically y'all have to "deal with it". LOL! Just kidding, the pictures seem so be a bit better during the day.
So these are the last cards I will share with this card kit, overall I think it is a pretty cool kit. I may purchase one or two in the future if there is a collection that I really like but won't make a habit of using them.

Thanks Nicole for my fab package with all the great goodies. I will hopefully share more cards this week with goodies from my Trade it Thursday win. :-)

Basic Grey-Card Kit

The end of another week. I went to my Intro to Computer Concepts class yesterday and my teacher ended up not being a bad guy. He has a bit of a vulgar sense of humor, if that makes sense. I do think everything will be ok.

So, I participated in Trade it Thursday over at my new e-buddies blog, Scrap Me This, Scrap Me That. Check out her blog to see what it's all about. Well I won a few weeks ago and I received a package of goodies a couple days ago. In the package I got a Basic Grey card making kit from their Green at Heart collection. Now I will admit when I first heard of card kits, to me it seemed like cheating, kinda defeated the whole fun of card making. I am not sure if any of you have bought one or read the contents of a card kit but basically it gives you everything you would need to make several cards, in Basic Grey's kits it is 8 cards. If includes the cardbase, pattern paper for layers, chipboard images and then a sheet of rub-ons that would have the sentiment on there. So basically you can make 8 complete cards, even includes the envelopes.

Well I have had the chance to play around with it and it is pretty cool. I made 2 cards, one I will share today and I will share the other one tomorrow. I may share more, if I get a chance to craft this weekend. LOTS of homework to get done by Monday.
So anywho, here is the card......
I can't remember what size the card is supposed to be but it is bigger than the standard 4.25x5.5 size. I started with the polka dot card base, and layered the orange paper over it. The flower stems, "you are my" and the squiggles under the "Sunshine" are all rub-ons. The "Sunshine" is card stock letters and the flowers are chipboard. I drew in the dash lines on the edge of the orange paper and the lines on the edge of the polka dot paper. Simple! I think it took me 10 minutes to assemble it. I think I may actually like card kits, now I won't get them to replace my everyday card making, all on my own but I think it is a neat idea. LOL!

Hope y'all have a fabulous Saturday!
Happy Crafting!!

One more

I am back with another Bind-it-All project. This is my final notebook needed. I am taking 4 classes but since one is a web class I am not going to make a special book, just use a plain composition book or something.

This notebook will be for Accounting.


I thought the number paper from Sassafras, Cherry Delicious wee bundle would be perfect for an Accounting class. LOL! Boy this photo really sucks! Well the blue pattern paper is also from that collection and I used a red cardstock from Stampin' UP! to separate the busyness of the pattern paper a bit.

Ok side note, the word "busyness" sure looks like it's spelled wrong, at least to me it does. Well I dictionary.com'd that word and that is how they spelled it. I would have hyphenated that word or something, lol!

Anywho, the chipboard is from Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry collection and the little flower is also from Basic Grey but their Sugar Rush collection. Sure do love Basic Grey! :-)

Oh, and you can't really tell (at all) in the picture but I used my sewing machine and did some stitching around the pattern papers. Ok seriously my sewing machine must have a warning on it or something "DO NOT USE WITH PAPER IN THIS MACHINE" because every time I try to sew paper it is a pain in my bum. I had one heck of a time just doing some simple stitches on that paper, oh I thought I was going to lose my mind. BUT I like the way it turned out and that is all that matters. No one really needs to know about the tears and sweat I shed making this book, do they? LOL!

Ok, have a great Sunday! I will be posting tomorrow about my super good news, so try and check back. Again it is nothing over the top life changing news just something fun and cool for me and hopefully all or some of you will think it is cool too. :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Happy Halloween!

Hello my name is Leeanne and I am addicted to digital kits and images. I have another confession. When I first heard about digital images and kits I kinda thought they were silly. It to me defeated the purpose of stamping. I dunno, just seemed weird to me. BUT then I tried it, I finally figured out what color tools worked best for me, unfortunately this was after breaking the bank buying all sorts of markers and pencils. LOL! So I have bought several digital images and kits and I simply love them. My most recent purchase was a Halloween image (Thanks Marlene!) from Squigglefly. I usually don't make Halloween cards because I don't send them out but really that was before I sent out cards in general. This image was super cute though and I had to have it. The white cardstock is that shimmery white paper I told y'all about that I got at my LCS and all the pattern paper is from a digikit I purchased from Two Peas called Woodsy by Jen Martakis.

Ya know one of the other things I have learned in the paper crafting world is to think outside the box. I see a lot of non-traditional colors for certain holidays like Christmas. When you think Christmas, do you think pink and blue and orange or do you think red and green? Yeah me too! When you think of Halloween do you think of tan, blue and purple or do you think orange and black? Yeah me TOO! LOL!
I did however add a little Pumpkin Pie cardstock in there to bring a little Halloween traditional colors but more so just to give the card a bit more color. The alphas are Micro Mini stickers from Basic Grey, Basics collection.

*edit, I entered this card into Squigglefly Challenge #62 - Hot Colors, thank you Holly for telling me about the challenge.

Happy Monday!

Good Morning Blogosphere! I have a couple easy cards again trying to use up some scraps. I actually made these cards the same day I made yesterdays LO. All the paper I used in the LO were from Basic Grey's Origins collection. I hate throwing away paper, especially awesome pattern paper from Basic Grey, lol! So I had already shown you a card using scraps the other week and when I was blog hopping the other day I saw on Kristina's blog (kwernerdesign.com) how she reuses scraps.
So I thought I would give it a try. :-)



So the first card, I feel torn about. First I made it for my daughter's grandma(on her dad's side), her birthday is in a couple days. But I am torn because, even though the Origins paper has a variety of green colors, the olive green crinkle ribbon seems to not match. Well oh well. The chipboard letters are from Green at Heart, also Basic Grey. The Thanks card was just to add another one to my collection. I think Thank You cards are my most used cards, so I can never have too many. So I intentionally wanted the "S" to be crooked but when I glued it down it ended up a little more crooked than I wanted. I used Creamy Brown Colorbox Chalk ink on my card instead of the Dark Brown I used on my LO yesterday. The Creamy Brown was a little closer to the Kraft color card base. I was going for a more subtle look. The chipboard letters are from Nook and Pantry. Have you noticed yet that Basic Grey is one of my favorite craft companies. :-)

Be sure to check back tomorrow because I have a Hybrid card to share using a free digital kit I got from Two Peas in a Bucket and I also used more crinkle ribbon. And (drum roll, please) I have a GIVEAWAY! So check back tomorrow.

Happy Crafting!!

Family

OMG is it really Sunday already? Really where is the time going! I start school in 8 days, how crazy is that. Well I have been crafting away the past couple days, I have been able to craft almost everyday which is very rare. Today's project is going to be a LO. I originally saw this on Kristina's blog at kwernerdesign.com. I love her blog, so inspirational. She posted a video tutorial for Basic Grey. My LO had to be changed a bit from what she did because the picture I had was a landscape and not portrait. But otherwise I used the same general idea.



I am not sure if you noticed yet but I love Kraft. I use Kraft for my cards and also for my LO's. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey, Origins collection. I used my Cricut to cut out all the shapes the squares and the circle. The butterfly was punched out with my Stampin' UP! butterfly punch. The cardstock behind the pic is Close to Cocoa from Stampin' UP! The chipboard letters are from Basic Grey, Nook and Pantry collection. The paislee stamp is from Inkadinkadoo. One of my favorite stamp sets.
I hope y'all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Chocolate helps

Super fast post since I am about to fall asleep. It is midnight (almost) and I am exhausted. I made this card for my cousin. She is due in November. This is a digital image from Bugaboo Stamps. I did some paper piecing on her outfit. I have never done it before but it was super fun and I will definitely be doing it again. The PP is from Basic Grey's, Olivia collection. Image was colored with my Prismacolor Pencils and a blender pen. Ok.......that is all for tonight, need sleep!

Sweet and Simple

Hello all! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I had to take my daughter to an Ortho appt today. One thing I hate about where I live is I have to drive far to get to certain places. For example the Ortho. The closest place to us is an hour away. So we drove a total of 2 hrs for a 15 min appt. Seriously??? I wasted $15 in gas to get there. Oh my!

We got home in time to put my kids to nap, I went to the gym and returned to do a bit of crafting. Oh what a boring day! LOL! Well the card I have to share for you I actually made last night. I set out to clean my space and as I was "organizing" I came across some chipboard and my mind immediately started thinking, then I got sidetracked and began making this card. I think this was the easiest card I have ever made.
I made a comment before that usually cards take me over an hour to make. This one took me probably less than 10 min. Yippee!



All the chipboard is from Basic Grey, Nook and Pantry and Origins collections. I inked a wood grain stamp with Versamark, I love that look on Kraft cardstock! Tied some Chocolate Chip satin ribbon from Stampin' UP! and rounded the corners and I called it a night. Well I attempted to organize some more but I got bored so I went to bed.

I will share some pics of my space maybe tomorrow. It is by far nothing impressive. We currently rent our home and we just don't have much space right now, so my "craft area" is a 6ft desk in our bedroom, some shelves on the wall and bada boom bada bing, that is where the magic takes place. LOL! Actually some days I wish I had a magic wand to wave over a piece of cardstock and be able to make a master piece because I tell ya, my mojo has really been hiding the last month or so. :-)

Anywhoo, I have a great night, all. Thanks for stopping by!

A sunny hello.....

Hello my bloggy friends! I hope everyone is having a great week. I went to pick up my school books today. Oh the nerves have now sunk in. Just over 2 weeks until school starts. I am going to have to clear my craft desk off a bit because that is the only place (other than the kitchen table) that I have to do homework.

So on to some crafting fun. First I would like to point out that I am going to be a jerk twice in this post, once because I cannot for the life of me remember where I got the digital image from, I am sure you have seen it around the blog-o-sphere so if anyone knows where please let me know. Second the card I originally saw on one of the many blogs I follow and I cannot for the life of me remember which one. The tutorial for the card though can be found on SCS, here. *edit, Marlene from Disguised as a Grown Up, reminded me (*wink*) that it was her blog and the image was from *wink*wink ink. It was a freebie when I got it, not sure if it is anymore. But as soon as I saw the card I knew I wanted the image, LOVE sunflowers.**
So here is my card.....



Ok so the lighting stinks, it was night time and my room was not lit very well. A few things to add, I LOVE sunflowers! I wish I could make a card everyday with sunflowers. Here is what held me back, I stink at coloring....well that was until yesterday. I have tried Copics, Prismacolor Markers and I did try just regular Prismacolor Pencils. Well my new FAV is Watercolor PrismaColor Pencils and a Blender Pen. I LOVE the way it turns out. So I printed the digi with my INK jet printer which is not ideal for coloring with liquid substance because the INK just bled. So what I did was after I printed the digi, I used my Versamark Marker by Stampin' UP! and I traced over the lines in the picture and then used black embossing powder to give some raised lines. This helped with the bleeding. The pattern paper I used is from Basic Grey, Max and Whiskers. Super cute collection. I was having a hard time finding a pattern paper that would match my sunflower and honestly that paper was the closest I could get. :-( I guess I need to go shopping and get a wider variety of PP. LOL! The buttons are also from Basic Grey, Nook and Pantry collection.

And there you have it! Now I am off to stamp more images to color! YIPPEE!!!

Happy Crafting!!

Merci Beaucoup

Just a quick little card today. I send a lot of Thank You cards, usually when someone buys something from Artfuldelight and so I always need quick and easy cards to make. This one wasn't as quick as my usual card but I needed to spice it up a bit.

This card is a 4x4 Kraft card base. The thin strips of paper are actually scraps from other cards I have made. Since I don't like to waste, lol, I decided to use them on this card. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey's Max and Whiskers collection, which is available at Artfuldelight for $9.75 and that is for the collection pack. Retail value of $22. HUGE savings. The ribbon is from Cosmo Cricket. The sentiment and bird stamps are all from Basic Grey, called Tweet.

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Crafting!!

TLC280 - Thanks

Hello! Been busy here in Winchester. LOL! I made this card 2 days ago and have not found the time to post about it but here I go.

Here is a sketch from CPS-Card Sketches. I also participated in Try a new technique over at Splitcoaststampers. It was called Paper Posies. My understanding was to use something other than a pre-made flower. So I made my own flower, a little fabric, hot glue and a brad to top and voila.......



The pattern paper is from Pebbles Inc, Twitterpated collection. I added the glitter to the paper. I felt it matched the fabric flower a bit because it also had a bit of glitter on it. I used my handy dandy sewing machine to put some stitches around the edge, used a sentiment stamp from Basic Grey's Green at Heart collection, Tree Hugger stamp set. It is actually supposed to say "Thanks for everything you do" but I cut/separated the stamp. I like the script on the "thanks" and I use it a lot so I cut the other part off.
The picture turned out brighter than I originally thought it would be so you can't really tell the color of the card base but it is from SU called Brushed Silver. It's like a metalic-y grey color. Pretty cool.

Supplies:

Stamp: Tree Hugger (Basic Grey - Green at Heart collection)

Paper: Twitterpated (Pebbles Inc), Brushed Silver (SU)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Misc: hand made fabric flower
