PCCCS #157 ~ Thankful

Hi there...Thanks for stopping by! I am super excited to share this card with you all from Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog which will be available September 1st! 

Here is their sketch...

Here is my take on it...

 

Fall is my favorite time of year and when I was looking through the Holiday Catalog this stamp set, DSP, and fun embellishments caught my eye!I Needless to say I was one happy camper when Mr. Brown showed up yesterday evening! I love the rich fall colors of the DSP and card stock. This set is a lot of fun and look forward to making more cards and projects! 

Thanks for Stopping By!

OSAT Blog Hop ~ Back to School

Hi there and welcome to this month's OSAT Blog Hop...Back to School! As a teacher this is my favorite shopping time of the year...nothing like brand new pencils, Pink Pearl Erasers, Sharpies and whiteboard markers!

Now that I have a child of my own in school (he will be starting 1st grade in September) I make it a point to help out his teacher when it comes to supplies for the classroom especially with budget cuts these days and how much we spend out of our own pocket for our classroom...

Here is what I made for his teacher...I hope she likes it!

When I started thinking about this project I wanted to do something different and while going through my supplies I found this metal box that I bought a couple years back (you never know when you might need it!) The box is from Provo Crafts...I dusted it off and wrapped it with Bella Blvd. Star Student "Brainiac" which I picked up this past June at the Scrapbook Expo...I used SU! Real Red Cotton Ribbon along the bottom to help "pop" out all the fun colors from the paper...My son's school mascot is the fox and I pulled out SU! Fox and Friends kit to make a couple 3x3 cards that she can use through out the year...I also clipped (from Recollections) a little fox to the container using SU! Whisper White and Old Olive...the stitched circle die cut is another goody I pick up from the Scrapbook Expo made by Memory Box...I stamped the fox in SU! Close to Cocoa..for the 3x3 cards I pulled them out from my drawer...I believe the blue is SU! Bashful Blue and SU! Real Red...the ribbon is also SU! in Tango Twist, Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzaz, and Real Red...I tied them off with SU! Linen Thread...In the box I put pencils, pens, markers, crayons, and most import hand sanitizer (which we always seem to run out of!)

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope your kids have a great school year!

PCCCS #156 So Very Kind of You...

Hi there and Welcome! Here is my take on this week's PCCCS Sketch...

When I saw the wide open space on this week's card sketch I immediately thought of SU! Big on You stamp kit...this kit is definitely becoming a favorite of mine! I pulled out Stacked with Love DSP which I thought would go perfectly with this sentiment...it was a fun card to make!

Listed below are the materials I used to make this fun card

SU! Whisper White Card Stock

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Memory Box Stitched Square Die Cuts

SU! Stacked with Love DSP

SU! Banner Die Cuts

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #198 ~ You Are My Sunshine

When I saw this sketch I immediately knew which stamp to use...I love it when that happens...

Here is my take on this week's sketch...

The stamp I used is by Cam and Chloe for Hero Arts...I love this stamp! I rummaged through some paper and found Summertime by October Afternoon...Sunshine...I pulled out my Memory Box Stitched die cuts and went to town with it...I seem to be going through a clothes pin stage and used it to clip the two squares together..I also pulled out some of my SU! Bermuda Bay ribbon and a button from their Brights Collections plus a little twin to bring it all together...It was a fun card to make!

Thanks for stopping by!

CYCI #80 Hugs and Kisses

When I saw this sketch I immediately thought of my new Technique Tuesday stamp set Hugs and Kisses...

Here is this week's sketch

 

Here is my take...

Before I started making my card I pulled out my sewing machine and while sticking my tongue out I very carefully sewed the white card stock (it took about 4 tries until I was happy!). I definitely still need to work on turning corners and staying straight! After stamping the sentiments I needed a heart to complete it! I dusted off one of my first SU! sets that I ever bought...Dilly Dally (2007!) because I knew that heart would fit perfectly! I used Crumb Cake (though I still prefer to call it Kraft!) as the base...Brights DSP in Real Red for the second layer...Whisper White and Real Red ink plus Memento Tuxedo Black...I felt that something was missing so I grabbed my Real Red Cotton Ribbon...I am a big fan of the color combination of black and red...it always looks so clean to me...

Thanks for stopping by!

Tag You're It! Challenge #27 ~ Can't Thank You Enough...

Here is my take on this week's Tag You're It #27...

I love making tag cards and was happy to see one being used for this week's challenge...I pulled out two of my SU! kits...Flower Shop and Lovely Amazing You along with their Hello Honey ink...another favorite of mine these days...For the tag I used Mama Elephant Splendid which I picked up at the Scrapbook Expo (along with several other tag dies too!) The black ink is Memento Tuxedo Black...I like how the two colors work with each other...I used SU! Hello Honey ribbon and a black clothes pin to tie it off from Recollections...The stitched circles are from Memory Box (another Scrapbook Expo goodie). 

Thanks for stopping by

PCCCS #155 ~ Hello Sweet Friend

For this week's sketch challenge I am using one of my favorite SU! stamp kits...Work of Art...When I first bought this stamp set I never thought of all the endless possibilities of what could be created! 

Here is the sketch

 

Here is my take

 For this card I used SU! new in-colors Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder. These two colors are quickly becoming my favorite! I used Whisper White for the base of the card, Watermelon Wonder DSP for the second layer and for two out of the three banners. I pulled out my SU! oval and banner die cuts too. For the black "seeds" I used my SU! hole punch. I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black. Before taking a picture I asked my son (who is almost 6!) what did it look like? He told me it was a watermelon and to double check I asked him what were the block dots and he told me they were the seeds we can't eat! Score! :)
