kid bday card

Hello,
Y'know when you pick up something cheap meaning to use it for a great project you have in mind..and then if you're like me it gets stashed and long forgotten.....welllllll here is my project - finally done. Last August when we were down in Bellingham they had such SUPER cheap prices on back to school items. I think I paid .25 cents for this pkg of crayons. Anyway I scooped up quite a few with the intent to make cards like this one I just made tonight. Its a quick way to make a bday card as you use an outline stamp set for the child to colour in themself! Include a new pkg of crayons and you're done! Neat idea eh?

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s don't forget to RSVP for my New Catalog Kick Off party which is coming up July 6th. 7 - 9pm. LOTS of retired product at amazing deals, prizes, make n' takes and food.

p.s.s I used some new daffodil delight cardstock partnered with Melon Mambo and Tempting Turqoise. Got this colour combo from my new Colour Coach. I LOVE IT!

tea holder

Howdy,
Here's the last of my June club projects. Its a tea bag holder or even a gift card holder as well.....I googled a real peacock and used the chalks to resemble the peacock colours.....Using the Presto Designer paper I sponged versamark over it first, then rubbed the chalks (pastels) over it till you could see the pattern come thru....
Happy Stampin'

wood sheets

Happy Summer!
Here's another project made in my June clubs. If a Father's Day sentiment wasn't needed I had others available. I am so happy the Wood Sheets made it back into the new Catalog....sometimes they are just the look that will complete a card. This layout is quite simple but for a masculin card I think that's the way to go.....the wood just adds that little touch, don't ya think?
This card is now going to my Dad for Father's Day but he's away for another week....

Ta,

Staff Appreciation Luncheon

Hello,
Another event is checked off the calender done! WOW only a few more days left of school!!!

As head of the Staff Appreciation committee at my girls elementary school I try to come up with unique ideas each year for the wrap up luncheon. This year for the luncheon we did Chicken Ceasar wraps. Thankfully I have a wonderful group of mom's that help out! I was in charge of the 'meat' so Chris BBQ'd around 16 chicken breasts, then I cut them up in strips and put them in my crock pot so they'd stay warm. The others mom's brought the salads, desserts, wraps, drinks and veggie platter. It went really well of which i'm thankful...always a relief when its done as I worry something might go wrong. Phew :)

I also had 3 mom's come over one day last week and we made 30 of these little holders for a lottery ticket. I've heard one teacher won $2 so I guess no one is quitting their teaching job :)

Stay tuned as I have some more posts planned!!!!

Card share

Hello!

Here's a card I recently made to showcase some of the techniques we're playing with at my March clubs this month. I love the Bride and Groom paper as its so elegant!
I got my ideas for these techniques from Patty Bennett's awesome blog! Thanks Patty!

Have you stamped today?

Christmas class first month

Hi Ladies!

Well I had my first Christmas class of 2009...I will be holding this class each month including November...different cards each month.

Its hard to make out but there are dazzling diamonds on both cards...on the small snowflakes, and then on the ornaments.

Enjoy, and hope to see you soon!

my swap card

Good Day,

Here's my card that I made for my team swap in July. It uses the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set, the colour wash technique and mounted on a circle of vellum. I also used my lots of tags sizzlits...

Have a wonderful day,

Kerry

Greenhouse Garden

hello,
When I saw this set - Greenhouse Garden pg 94 of the new catalog I knew I had to have it! I've lost most of my '2-step stampin' sets over the last few years and fell in love with this one. I love how quick 2 stamp stampin' is and the effect it creates. Here's a quick card I made before the heatwave set in....I also wanted to use my new punch - the modern label punch which works so well for my window punch.

Have a great day!

Butterfly

Hello fellow stampers,

Well I'm back from a wonderful holiday in Penticton, B.C. We had a wonderful time with our 4 kiddies. Beautiful weather and lovely time with my parents as well. I love it there, and look forward to our annual trip every year.

Here's a card I made beforehand that I had planned for a downline stamping night. Unfortunately I cancelled due to an extreme heat wave and us not having air conditioning. It was only the 3rd time since 1880 or something we had it that bad. 44 degrees with humidity or something like that!!!! Needless to say it was survival mode for that week!
I used my new Elegant Bouquest impressions Embossing folder and sanded the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP to expose the white cardstock. The butterfly is from my Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die.

More to share in the upcoming days to hope you come back for a visit!

Flight of the Butterfly

Hi stampers,

Here is a card my friend Rosella made for my sample board. She came up with this layout and colour scheme. I love it, and I'm proud of how it all came together for her! You have your MoJo Back GF!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sarah's card

Hello,

Here is a beautiful card my downline Sarah made for our team swap. It uses alot of the new In Colours and the Razzleberry Lemondade DSP. Also the polka dot ribbon in Soft Suede which I havn't posted a sample of that to date! I love the background she made on the Razzleberry cardstock....a subtle brocade!

Hope you find time to be creative today!

Love the markers

Hi,

I know I sound like a broken record player (my kids would wonder what that saying even means LOL) but I'm sooo happy SU brought the In Colours in markers this year. I used them on this card to highlight the flowers. I used Rich Razzleberry and Hunger Green.

Paper piecing in the upper left and right corner too.

Have a great day!

Kerry

Peace

Wow is it weird around here....Mikayla and Megan are both away at Horse Camp right now....such a differance with them gone. I miss them so much but I must say its alot quieter around here without them bickering! (just changes the dynamics..not saying they're the only ones to bicker)
Anwyay here's a peaceful card for my sample board. My friend Rosella came over and helped me crank out some cards at the beginning of July. She made this one for me. It uses the Butterfly Die, Top Note die and Inspired by Nature stamp set.
Today is my 17th wedding anniversary! Wow..time is flying quicker then ever, esp with our 4 little kiddo's to keep us busy! I love you Chris, your are an amazing Husband and Father to our children. Big Smooch!

Define Your Life

Hope you're having a wonderful summer so far!

I was so happy to finally ink up my brand new sets - Defining Alphabet and Define Your Life - both sets I got free during the Saleabration campaign this year. You could use those combinations of sets to make quite a few types of cards using this layout, don't you think?

Embrace Life

Here's another sample I made before my Open House. It was so much fun filling that board! This card came together once I decided on the stamp set. I knew Dusty Durango would be a good choice of colour. I used the new DSP Razzleberry Lemonade pg 162. I love how the In Colours come in markers now so I stamped the image in Stazon Black and then coloured in the flowers with my Dusty Durango marker.

Happy Stampin'

Burmuda Bay

As I was looking at my sample board before my Open House I realized I was short on samples using this gorgeous new In Color.... I love Upsy Daisy and this card came together quite quickly. Also I used the new punch - Modern Label on pg 187.

Have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by!

a beauty

Marcella's masterpiece. Here is a card made by one of my downline...isn't it gorgeous? The colour wash look on Shimmery White cardstock.

Go stamp something today!

I like how simple and clean this card is...I saw this idea on someone's blog as I was blog surfing....if its your then please let me know and i'll add your link!!! Thanks for the inspiration too! You could make a bunch of these ahead of time and leave the sentiment area blank...then fill in as need be!

Take care,

Kerry
