All Buttoned Up ...

I'm thrilled to be back designing with the Pals at the Pals Paper Arts. This week we are challenging everyone to break out their buttons and create with us.  I just started using buttons on my cards this year.  I always admired the cards that had buttons on them, but I could never seem to make it work for me.  After a few trial and errors, I have come to love using buttons on my cards.


Here is a photo for some inspiration ...  


PPA91

I had a lot fun playing with this one.  My inky fingers grabbed some buttons and created this ...



Stamps:  Elegant Thank You
Paper:  Tempting Turquoise, Black, White
DSP:  Tempting Turquoise
Ink:  Tempting Turquoise, Versamark
Accessories:  circle cutter, Finial Press embossing folder, scallop border punch, Real Red ribbon, Real Red and Black buttons, clear embossing powder, dimensionals, glue dots, white thread (non SU), stamp-a-ma-jig, embossing buddy, heat emobssing tool (non SU)
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.
  • I used this week's MOJO sketch to get started ...
  • My card measures 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 so that it will still fit in an A2 envelope.
  • I stamped my thank you first in Tempting Turquoise ink.  Next I inked up the stamp in Versamark and stamped that right on top of the first image using my stamp-a-ma-jig.
  • Clear embossing powder was sprinkled over the sentiment and heat embossed.


I hope you will find some time this week to join in the fun of playing with buttons.  I always enjoy looking at what you have made.

Have a great day,
Pam~

It started with a sketch ...



and ended with a card...a graduation card that is.


Stamps:  The Graduate (Stampabilities)
Paper:  Confetti White, Pumpkin Pie, Early Expresso
DSP:  Pumpkin Pie (retired)
Ink:  Memento Black
Accessories:  circle cutter, corner rounder; Non-SU brads, Prisma Markers
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

The brown and orange that I used for this card are the school colors.  I wanted something that was not bulky to mail and simple to make for mass producing. This sketch was the perfect solution for that!

I tried to make this cute little mouse masculine since I had used the stamp for Bethany's graduation announcement card also.  Sure didn't want Michael to think he was getting a girl mouse on his card. Think it worked???  Below is the card that I made for Bethany's graduation back in 2009.  


I hope you will find some time to play around at the Pals Paper Arts with this great sketch!

Have a great day,
Pam~

Paper Players sketch challenge

I found a few minutes this afternoon to migrate to my craft room.  It felt great to put a stamp and ink in my hands.  Bring on the inky fingers again ... such a great feeling.


Since the stamping desire has not been there for a few weeks, I decided I wanted to do something simple.  The perfect challenge was just waiting to be played with.  This week The Paper Players are hosting a CAS (clean and simple) sketch.  Here it is ...



Below is what I created for my nephew.  I wanted a thank you card to send him for being such a wonderful tour guide at the Master's.  What an awesome experience that was.

Stamps:  Bold & Bright (retired 2000), Happy Moments
Paper:  White, Night of Navy, Brocade Blue, Cherry Cobbler
Ink:  Brocade Blue, Night of Navy
Accessories:  CB embossing folder, circle punch (non SU)
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

  • I rotated the sketch to work with the border stamp.
  • CAS is supposed to show lots of white space, but my card just didn't look very good so I added the Night of Navy and embossed it.  Thought it might pass as bubbles in the water.
  • I keep thinking it needs a little something extra, but that would defeat the CAS challenge.  So Stanley will get this as is and I hope he enjoys it.


I apologize for the not so great picture.  I took it late this afternoon and the sun had already gone behind the clouds and was determined not to shine again.  

Have a great day,
Pam~

No card today ...

Just a quick up-date that I wanted to share.  The Design Team over at the Pals Paper  Arts have asked me to continue on as part of their team.  How wonderful is that ... very awesome!  Unfortunately, Gina is so busy that she is having to step down.  Gina, you will be missed and I have very talented shoes to try and fill.  This position is perfect for me ... part-time.  Meaning that I will post a card every other week.  


I am just getting back from our vacation.  It started in Atlanta, GA for some soccer games, then on to my brother's to go to the Master's on Sunday and from there we went to Charleston, SC for the rest of the week.  Charleston is a fun city and I would love to go back there again.  It was a great vacation and I'm glad to be back home.  I missed my pups and kitty and they missed us too. They are sticking to me like glue today.


I'm already looking forward to my next vacation ... Disney World.  Woo-hoo can hardly wait to see Mickey, Minnie and the crew next month.  Best part of this vacation, Bethany will be with us.  She didn't get to make this one due to school.  UAB had their spring break back in March.


I feel refreshed so hopefully my desire to stamp is back too.  Hope to find some time this weekend to venture into my craft room and make a card or two.


Have a great weekend!

There is another birthday here ...

Today is my son's 18th birthday.  It is already hitting me that he will be graduating on May 20th and heading off to college in August.  My hubby and I will become empty nester's.  Ok, I am not looking forward to that.  


As for stamping, I've misplaced that desire and haven't found it yet.  How sad is it to say, I'm not even missing my craft room.  I'm in a rut and will hopefully get my mojo back real soon.  The first part of this month is shot ... lots of fun activities planned.  Hopefully I will come back full of creative ideas!


Michael is a very simple kind of guy ... no plaid shorts or bright colors would ever be found in his closet.  Drives me crazy with all the awesome colors out there. Yes, he takes after his Dad ... lol.   With that in mind, here is his birthday card ...


Stamps:  Ruff Day, Happy Moments
Paper:  Tempting Turquoise, Night of Navy, Early Expresso, Confetti Cream
Ink:  Black, Night of Navy
Accessories:  sponge dauber, border punch (non-su), CB stars embossing folder, Nestie's label 2 die, Prisma Markers
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.
  • I had punched out a border to add under my star panel but I couldn't get it to look right.  I thought I would try something different at that point, and sponge over the border and then take it off.  I always like a new experiment.  Not quite sure what I think of this, but will probably try it again.
  • This layout actually came from The Paper Players a couple of weeks ago.  That tells you how long it took me to finish this baby. :)
Have a great day,
Pam~

Paper:  Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Marina Mist, White
DSP:  Certainly Celery

I hope you can find some time to pull out those versatile punches and play along with us this week.  


Have a great day,

Quick and Simple

I wanted to share a card that I made while Bethany was home for Spring Break.  I cherish the times we share together, especially in my craft room.  She is getting a pretty good stash of goodies too.  So fun to watch her create!  I meant to photograph her card too, but she took it with her back to college.  We always use the same layout but different stamps and colors.  It's amazing how different they look.  So this is what my inky fingers created ...


Stamps:  Forest Friends, Fabulous Phrases
Paper:  Cool Caribbean, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Close to Cocoa, Cool Caribbean 
Accessories:  CB embossing folder, rhinestone (non-SU), sponge dauber
All supplies are SU! unless otherwise noted.

I hope you enjoy your weekend!  We are hosting a soccer tournament with teams coming from Wyoming, Oklahoma and Tennessee.  Unfortunately we are having bad thunderstorms today and it is not looking like soccer weather.  I'm so disappointed and know the families that have travelled here are really unhappy about this weather.  I'm hoping the rain Gods fall asleep for a while.

Have a great day,
Pam~

Reach for that embossing folder

This week at the Pals Paper Arts we want everyone to break out an embossing folder, or anything that you can emboss with, and have some fun with it.  

Below is a photo to help trigger those creative thoughts ...

PPA86

I went with flowers for my embossing.  I still have spring on my mind and am still thinking bright happy colors.  The 'ole inky fingers had fun creating and came up this ...

Stamps:  Aviary, Build A Blossom
Paper:  Rich Razzleberry, Crumb Cake, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, White
Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Build A Blossom punch, Daffodil Delight ribbon, designer button, sponge dauber, pearls, glue dots, Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder
All products are Stampin' Up!
  • I used a piece of scrap paper and a sponge dauber to make the birdcage look like it was sitting on a table rather than floating in the air. 
  • I saw this layout somewhere while reading the blogs I follow and can't find it now to give that person credit.  To the designer of this layout, I loved it and thanks for sharing it and if you are reading this, please give yourself credit.
  • I added three little pearls in the top corner since it looked so empty.
Thanks for stopping by and I always enjoy reading your comments!  Hope you can find some time to stamp with me and the rest of the talented Pals Design Team.

Have a great day,
Pam~

Bring on the circles ...

You know that saying, a day late and a dollar short?  Well that is me on this card.  I really wanted to participate in The Paper Players color challenge last week.  I started stamping and punching out circles but that was as far as I got.  Not wanting to waste what I had done, I finished this card using this weeks sketch challenge.  Now I know most stampers submit a card for current challenges, but I thought I would be different. *smile*


Here is the clean and simple sketch ...



This is what my inky fingers created ...

Stamps:  Big Pieces (ret.), Little Pieces (ret.), Fabulous Phrases
Paper:  Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze, Early Expresso, Very Vanilla
DSP:  Blushing Bride (hostess gift)
Ink:  Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze, Early Express
Accessories:  circle punches, oval punches, corner punch, sponge dauber, rhinestones, Early Expresso ribbon, pop dots
All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Spring has sprung here in Huntsville and I'm loving it!  I'm sitting on my back porch as I type this listening to the birds and watching the trees blow in the wind.  Ok, I can do without the dang wasps and TVA work crew in my backyard.

I hope you have a great day.  I'm headed to a soccer game.  The guys from Florence are coming to town ... hi Benzi!  Let's hope we can stay undefeated!

Happy St. Patrick's Day,
Pam~

I feel like a ... spring chicken

It's Thursday ... time for another Pals Paper Arts challenge.  This week we have an inspiration photo to help us get started on creating a Spring, Easter, flower, hat, etc. card.


PPA84

I decided to pull out my old faithful A Good Egg stamp set for this challenge.  Have to admit after that, I was stumped.  So I stamped, looked, crumpled my paper and threw it away.  This happened a couple of times and then I thought I'm just going with whatever I do next.  So, this is what happened my next time at stamping ...

Stamps:  A Good Egg
Paper:  White, Concord Crush
DSP:  Blushing Bride, Concord Crush
Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Blushing Bride, Concord Crush
Accessories:  Stampin' Pastels, circle cutter, word window punch, corner rounder, sponge dauber, ribbon, scor-pal
All supplies are SU unless otherwise noted.

I found the directions for this little treat box on the Scor-Pal website. They had the measurements for three different sizes and this is the middle size.  Easy to make and great to hold some yummy Easter treats.  Here is a picture of the back ...


Along with the cute treat holder, I made a 3 x 3 card to accompany it. After all my fretting, I ended up liking the end result.

I hope you will find some time this week to play with the rest of the talented Design Team Pals.  Other good news ... we have Blog Candy to give away this week too! 

As always, thanks for stopping by and please let me know if I can help you in anyway.

Have a great day,
Pam~

SUO Challenge ...

One of my Pals, Carla, at Carla's Scraps, told me about this challenge and encouraged  me to participate.  So I clicked on over to SU-Only Challenges to read about it.  This was my first time to check out their site and I really liked what I found.  I will certainly be participating again!  This week the participants are to use their favorite retired SU stamp set.  Let me tell you, I have well over a hundred to choose from.  I know I really should sell some of them.

The first stamp that came to mind was the very first set I purchased ... Button Bear.  A very versatile set which is great for starting out.  I also used a few other retired sets.  My inky, and today chalky, fingers went to creating and ended with this ...

Stamps:  Button Bear (retired), Year Round Fun (retired), Lucky Me! (retired)
Paper:  Garden Green Close to Cocoa (retired), White
DSP:  Garden Green (retired)
Ink:  Black, Garden Green
Accessories:  Stampin' Pastels, rhinestones, sponge dauber, Finial Press EF, dimensionals, corner rounder
All products are Stampin' Up!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a new PPA challenge card.

Have a great day,

All that glitters ...

I finally found some stamp time ... yeah baby!  Yesterday afternoon while doing laundry, I had some free time to play in between loads.


I love to participate with the gals over at The Paper Players.  So today's card came from their theme this week ... spring.  While looking at the Design Team's cards, I noticed that Ann, my fellow Pal, had used some Dazzling Diamonds on her card.  Hmmm...I have some of that and haven't used it in a while.  I'll make a card with some sparkle.  Well ....  I'll let my card speak for itself. 


Stamps:  In Full Bloom (retired), Hello Spring (retired)
Paper:  Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Close to Cocoa (retired), White
DSP:  Certainly Celery (retired)
Ink:  Black, Close to Cocoa (retired), Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue
Accessories:  CB Fanciful Labels, brads, sponge dauber, Stickles, Prisma Markers, Nestabilities oval dies, dragonfly punch (non SU)
All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Ok, no Dazzling Diamonds but almost a bottle of Stickles...hehehe  I just couldn't stop adding glue glitter or is glitter glue?  This card went from "I like it" to "oh, a bit gaudy".  I still had to post it though.  It just makes me smile and I had so much fun with it.  

The layout came from February's edition of Stampin' Success.  It was on my table so I flipped through it and thought this was a quick and easy layout to use and it was.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Time for a color challenge ...

Time for another Pals Paper Arts color challenge.  Color and sketch challenges are always my favorite.  I like having something to start with rather than just thinking, "Ok, what do I want to use, how do I want to use it, etc."  I hope this challenge gets your creativity popping and you will play along with us!


The colors this week are ...
These classy ladies are looking so feminine and elegant that I just had to see if I could turn my card into something completely different.  I think I succeeded ...

Stamps:  In Wilderness
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
DSP:  Elegant Soiree
Ink:  Soft Suede
Accessories:   Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon, brads from Hodgepodge Hardware, dimensionals
All products are Stampin' Up.

Something simple ...

I was at the beach last weekend for a soccer tournament with my son.  I'm delighted to say they came home with the championship trophy.  We had a wonderful time and the weather was awesome.  Got to start on my tan.  Sad thing is, it will probably disappear before I can work on it again.  Being a proud mom, I've included a photo of the Grissom Varsity soccer team holding their trophy.  Michael is the first player on the back left row ... the tallest one.


Ok, enough of the mom stuff.  Now onto my card that took me over a week to make and it is quite simple.  I would stamp, leave and come back and do a little more.  From now until the end of the soccer season, my stamping takes a back seat ... and I miss it!  This is for Bethany so I had to add a touch of pink.  This child loves lime green and pink.

Stamps:  Apple Blossoms (hostess set)
Paper:  White, Taken w/Teal, Lime Green (non SU)
Ink:  Taken w/Teal, Luscious Lime SU marker
Accessories:  sponge dauber, ribbon (non SU)
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.
  • The Stampin' Up marker was one that I got when I first ordered all my markers back in 1999.  
  • I stamped the blossom with Taken w/Teal and then colored it with the Luscious Lime marker.
  • The edges were sponged with Taken w/Teal to tone down the white surface.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come by tomorrow to see what I've created for the Pals Paper Arts challenge.  I know the rest of the Design Team will have amazing cards to share.

Have a great day,
Pam~

Let's see some scallops ...

It's Thursday, so that means it is time for another Pals Paper Arts challenge.  This week we have a fun one for you to participate in ... it's all about scallops.  No need to fret ... keep it clean and simple.  Be sure to check-out the rest of DT's gorgeous cards.  Here is the inspiration photo to get the juices flowing ....


PPA82

I wanted to use my new Build a Blossom stamp set and punch.  It worked wonderfully well for this week's theme of scallops.  My petals actually mimic the oyster shells.  (Those are oysters? Right?)  Here is what the 'ole inky fingers created this week ...

Stamps:  Build a Blossom, Fabulous Phrases
Paper:  Peach Parfait, Not Quite Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Peach Parfait, Cajun Craze, Not Quite Navy
Accessories:  Build A Blossom punch, word window punch, scallop trim punch, circle fire brads, daffodil delight button and ribbon, polka dot embossing folder, edge distresser, glue dots, color coach
All products are Stampin' Up!

I looked at this card and thought, should I add leaves or a stem?  After a few moments of looking at it, I decided I liked it plain.  I just love the look of the flower and didn't want to take away from it.  Ahhh, clean and simple is so much fun!

I hope you find some time to join in the fun this week.  As always, thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day,
Pam~!

A nice surprise ...

Imagine my surprise this afternoon when I checked my e-mail and found out that I had been nominated by a fellow SU! Demonstrator for the Liebster Blog Award.  Danita at Ruff Life sent me a sweet e-mail informing me that she had picked me to receive this award.  What makes this extra special to me, is that I have never been to Danita's blog before and she picked me.  I've already signed up to follow Danita at Ruff Life.  Her creations are gorgeous, so be sure to check them out yourself!

I started blogging so my friends and family could see my cards.  Never in my imagination did I think anyone would want to "follow" me or tell me that they liked my cards.  The stamping community is made up of very talented and sweet individuals.  

I became a Stampin' Up! demo in January 2010 joining the Pretty Pals under the talented Mary Fish.  I wanted to be a hobby demo and have loved every minute of the last year.  And the Pals, let me tell you, they are all FANTASTIC!
The Liebster Blog Award is given to bring new blogs to light.  It's a great way to share blogs that might not otherwise be seen or ones you want to share with others.

As a recipient of this award I must share the love and pay it forward by:
  1. Creating a post where I blog about the Liebster award and reveal my 3 - 5 blog picks.
  2. Let the honorees know that I selected them.
  3. Copy and paste the blog award on my blog.
Here are my nominations ...

  1. Joanna at Inspired by Stampin'
  2. Christy at Schnauzer Carfts Creations
  3. Renee at Renees Scrampin Spot
Please stop by their blogs and leave them some love while checking out their fabulous cards.


Have a great day,
Pam~

It's a sketch day

Today is all about a sketch at the Pals Paper Arts.  Our Pal, Margaret Moody, came up with another great looking artistic challenge for us.  


For this sketch I wanted to use my new stamp set, Plane & Simple, from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This is a good set to crank out some masculine cards.  My inky fingers flew to work and created this ...

Stamps:  Plane & Simple
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgandy, More Mustard
DSP:  Always Artichoke
Ink:  Bravo Burgandy
Accessories:  Paper Shapers Scissors, eyelets (antique), crop-a-dile, mat pack,  sponge dauber
All products are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

This card is just like the stamp set ... plain and simple and I like it. 

I'm missing my stamps and blogging so much.  There is a lot going on here and hopefully within the next couple of days I will be able to sit in my comfort zone and create.  Until then ...

Have a great day,
Pam~

Let's try vintage ...

I'm having stamping withdrawals right now.  I have been so busy that I have not had much time to stamp.  Right now I'm in up NJ visiting my brother for his 50th birthday.  I came up yesterday to surprise him... love surprises!  Hopefully next week I will have some time to get inky again. Alright, enough of my babbling and on to a great challenge this week at the Pals Paper Arts.


They always say it is good to step out of your comfort zone to become better at something.  Well, I stepped out to do a vintage card for the PPA challenge ... and I like it!  Below is the inspiration photo.

PPA80

My inky fingers went to play and created this ...

Stamps:  Bliss (sale-a-bration)
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
DSP:  Elegant Soiree
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede
Accessories:  sponge dauber, rhinestones, dimensionals, edge distresser, glue dots, finial press embossing folder
All products are Stampin' Up!
  • The edges were sponged with Soft Suede to give it a vintage look.  Ann, at The Stampin' Schach, is the Queen of vintage.  Be sure to take a peek at her awesome blog.
  • The butterflies were rock n' rolled.  Think I'm on a butterfly kick?  Three on my last card and what do you know, three on this card too.  
  • One of my favorite embellishments that Stampin' Up makes are the rhinestones and pearls.  I absolutely love them!
I hope you will find some time to play along with us this week.  I would love to see how you interpret vintage.  I know I will make more cards with a vintage look ... it's fun and has an awesome look!  I am pleased with the results of this card.  Thanks for stopping by and I always enjoy reading what you have to say ... good, bad or indifferent.

Have a great day,

Riding Rich, Certainly ....

This week we are hosting a color challenge at the Pals Paper Arts.  This is an awesome set of colors to play with.  

PPA 80 Celebrity Color Challenge Feb 3 2011

I was looking through my binder of stamped images to see what I wanted to use this week when Flight of the Butterfly just flew off the page and was saying play with me.  Wow, these colors are perfect for a butterfly, flowers and so much more.  So come on over to PPA and join in the fun.

My inky fingers went to work and created this ...

Have a great day,
Pam~
