Altered notebook

Good Morning!

Last night I was able to cover this cute note book I've had sitting around for awhile! It was so super quick since I used the Just Delightful Simply Scrappin' Kit! I even used the tab stickers that come with the kit and made 3 sections for my use. 1) To Do, this is where i'll put my wish list, also supplies I need to buy for upcoming workshops and classes etc...Also my goals will be in there so I don't have sticky notes all over my computer.... 2) Business Ideas, this is where i'll put class, workshop ideas...or other business type stuff. 3) Sketches, like the title if I come accross a cool sketch idea, or even colour combo i'll jot it there....

Anyway, it was alot of fun and I love this colour combo in the kit.

I have some goodies being delivered in a bit.....(NSR) so i'll hopefully share later!

OK, I just uploaded a pic of the delivery I just rec'd!! What fun! I love bath and body products! I got these goodes from a local store....you can check out her website at www.mountainfarmsoap.com Darlene is a super sweet lady! She has some great markdowns right now if you're interested! I got Massage Melt, Orange Creme Sugar Scrub, Chocolate Fudge soap (sale), Cranberry Spice soap (sale), Pomegranate soap (sale), citrus energy soap, spray in conditioner, luscious hemp lotion (black raspberry/vanilla) and a free lip butter - butter creme. Kylie and I are off to enjoy!

I'll smell good all day ;)

Happy Friday!

We had a glorious, sunny day today which is a welcome relief after the weeks of rain, snow and wind! I"m so looking forward to spring and what it brings with it....capri's, sandels, long walks and warmer days!

Here's a quick card I demo'd at some workshops this month. I used my spectrum pad for the hearts. On Board accents for the heart stamped with regal rose craft pad. Its hard to make out but the hearts are stamped on shimmery white paper - LOVE that paper! Its so pretty IRL.

Tomorrow is my husbands one saturday off a month from work so we have planned a fun family day! Hoping to go to a local mountain and go tubing! Not sure how our 3 yr old will do, I may end up in the restaurant with her and a cuppa hot chocolate but he'll have fun with our 6 and 7 yr old i'm sure!!!! It's supposed to be another sunny day - YIPPEE!

I have my stampin' club here tomorrow evening so will be back in plenty of time to set up for that!

Have a great weekend!

here piggy piggy

Hello,

I've been busy as a bee this last week - lots of family committments as well as busy stampin' in the evenings! Alot of projects I make I can't share right away as I don't want to spill the beans to the gals in my clubs or classes that are going to be making these projects.....

Here's a card that my club did last week. They could choose which Very Punny stamp they liked and I must say the little lollipop was adorable too! Alot of gals bought a brayer so they could make their Christmas cards with the reflection technique so I wanted to share how you can also use the brayer with a spectrum pad to make a cool background. We also used a strip of paper from the Loves Me designer paper collection. Super easy matting of the pig with the 2 sizes of tag punches. Lastly used my paper piecer and matt pack and poked 5 holes in the bottom right.

I've opened up another evening for the accordian scrapbook in a tin class as the first one is full. The 2nd evening is now February 9th, 7:30pm. Please rsvp asap so I can order a tin for you! I have room for 3 more gals. I'm busy working on another class idea using my chipboard coasters - thanks to my friend Rosella for a great idea when she was here the other evening stamping with me.

Happy Stampin'

Smoooch - Kissing technique card

Howdy there!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I had a busy SU weekend consisting of our team meeting and a Stampin' Up! workshop as well. I sure love the Sellabration stamp sets this year!

My friend came over Friday night and we had a great night gabbing and stamping. Here's a card we made using the Paisley BG stamp and the kissing technique with the Big Blossom Sellabratioin stamp set. Colours used were Mellow Moss, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose. Also used were the So Very Sellabration stamp set and Everyday Flexible Phrases stamp set. Used my daisy punch for the middle too with a silver brad. OH YAH, stamped the Aida Cloth BG stamp on the Mellow Moss cardstock as well - not sure if you can make that out. Also did stitch lines around the blossom too with my marker. If you see this card layout on SCS can you send me the link as I have misplaced the creative gal that I got this idea from.....THANK YOU!

On another note we're expecting another winter storm tonight - 10 - 15 cm again. Its our 15th storm this year! Soooo weird for coastal British Columbia! All I can say is I'm sure glad I purchased a good pair of Winter Boots this past Fall. (they have pink on them) (my old ones were still from the early 90's I believe LOL)

I'll get some of the photo's from our team Sellabration swap uploaded soon...I've already mounted them on my display board so will have to take some shots of them, no scanning this time.

Which is your favourite Sellabration stamp set? I'll have to say Big Blossom.

Take care, Happy Stampin'

little froggie

Hello!

Well once again we had a power outage last night....only came on this morning at 8:30am or so.....was in the middle of scanning this card I made last night when it went out.

Brrr our house is cold, and we woke up to a light blanket of snow covering everything - beautiful!

Here's a card I made using the On The Spot Background stamp and also Very Punny - a Sellabration stamp set. I don't have Unfroggetable but had seen some cute samples where they use the oval punch to make a lily pad so I wanted to give that a try with my new little froggie from this set....Used On Board Accents to frame the frog and chocolate grosgrain ribbon on the card too. Old Olive and Certainly Celery were the colours I chose.

Hoping to make some more samples tonight using some other Sellabration sets I have.

Hope you have a fabulous day!

Kerry

Happy New Year!

Greetings!

I just want to wish you all a very Happy, and Safe New Year!

Here's something I played around with the other night when I was waiting for my pic's to upload.....had fun with my Watercolour crayons and aquapainter. This is one of the new Sellabration sets that you can get free during Stampin' Up!'s annual promotion - Sell-A-Bration - on during Januray and February.

Take care, and have a great, fun night!

Stampingly yours,

Kerry

update: I did use black stazon and then coloured in with my WWcrayons. I stamped on a card size canvas I found at the local dollar store. Since posting I also used my air art tool again and added some pink splatter and it lightened it up....original looks dirty to me :(

Gel Card

Hi again,

Well I said i'd upload a card and here it is :)

This is a gel card I made for a Sellabration swap that i'm hosting with my team....I'm getting 10 more samples from this swap so very excited to get them mid January at our team meeting!

Thanks for looking,

Kerry

Very Punny

hi y'all!

Have I mentioned lately how much I love the New Sellabration sets that are available Jan 1st to Feb 28th!!! This is my first card i've made with the set 'Very Punny'.....It was fun using this cute little ladybug. I used some ribbon from Prep School. Punched the cranberry out of my new Mega Scalloped square punch, put little white dots with my gel pen. Did some doodling with my black marker around the edges of the white square as it needed something. Lastly used my word window punch and adhered it to the c/s with mellow moss eyelets. OH, forgot that the Not Quite navy c/s has Canvas stamped on it with the same colour ink....subtle.

Hope you enjoy it, I had alot of fun making it!

New Sellabration Set

Hello there,

Well I feel like i'm getting back into the land of the living! Made another visit to the Walk in last evening and now Megan has a double ear infection too...so 3 out of 5 of us in our household are on antibiotics! What a week but thankfully we're all on the mend now.

Here's a card I made quickly today that was going to be my shoebox swap for tomorrow but when Chris said it looked like Mikayla had made it I quickly veto'd it...now back to the drawing board. I based it on the Inspiration Sheet - Sweet Shapes. Total Case except used the new Delight in Life set which is available free during Sellabration starting Jan 1, 2007. (the flower and frame are raised using dimensionals which is hard tell in a scan)

Doing mounds of laundry today too since I was out of commission for a few days....

Enjoy,
Kerry
