Fall Harvest

I stayed up late last night working on this sweet card. I absolutely LOVE the new stamp sets in the Fall Supplement- especially this one called Fall Harvest
Isn't she adorable! This is a new set by Mabelle Ro- we have another in the Fall supplement also and it is just as sweet. I this image was perfect for paper piecing so I pieced her dress and the sunflower. Added a button with some scrappers floss through it and used a part of a white Just the Edges from Bazzill. Love the results! The background paper is from the Brighten My Day designer paper collection. Hope you like it! Have a terrific day!!

Halloween RAK

I'm finally back online and recovered from IKE- we went 14 days with out power! It was quite a learning experience -one I hope not to have to repeat any time soon! I've been swamped catching up with life's demands and unexpectedly I received this adorable Halloween RAK ( random act if kindness) from a fellow angel Stacy. I love her cards! Check out her blog here for lots of great ideas!
Isn't the paper fun!! Those fun faces really brightened my day! I hope to have some new cards and projects up soon- I've been busy with classes at the scrapbook store where I teach... stay tuned!

Thanks for hanging in there with me!

IKE Update

Hi Everyone,
I'm finally able to check in from a friends computer. Ike hit us hard. We are on day 11 with no power. Thankfully we had minimal damage to our home and property and everyone is safe.
Our neighborhood was one of the hardest hit so it is taking longer to get the power restored. I am praying hard that we will get it back soon. A special thanks to all those keeping us in your prayers. It means a lot. I can't wait to get back to normal and start stamping again.. Hopefully the next time I get to post it will be from home with power and a new creation to share..

Take care!

IKE

I live just north of Houston so due to IKE I won't be able to post for a while. I anticipate loosing power at some point so as soon as the storm passes and we are back up and running I'll share some great cards!

Sending out prayers to all in the path of the storm.

Thanks!
Debra

Funky Felines

Hi Everyone!
Sorry it has been a while since I posted. I have had a busy week! Today's card is one I did for a TAC contest. It didn't win but I had a lot of fun creating it. One of the main elements on the card is the stitching which is done with one of my favorite stamp sets- Running Stitches
I seem to use this set over and over. I love the look of stitching but don't have the time to actually sew on my cards so this set provides a fantastic alternative. The stamps are about 8 inches long so you can easily stamp an entire card front at one time. No worries about lining things up! Works great on scrapbook pages as well!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, Designer paper collection Metropolis( retired) Funky Felines,
Running Stitches, Noir Palette Ink, Stickles ( on eyes) Misc flowers and ribbon.

Heather's Moonlighting Technique

I was over at Heather's Oz-some blog and was enticed by her post about the moonlighting technique. I decided to give it a try following her sample. I loved the color combo she used and did the same thing. I used a tree from the Good Timber (T-2700) stamp set, which I really love. I think it turned out nice.. very similar to Heather's but still me. Check out Heather's blog for instructions. I used my new Cuttlebug embossing border set, With Love, for the sentiment. I love using the Matchmakers white core paper when I emboss so I can sand it and have the white core show through. I also added the border around the image with my scorpal and sanded the ink away as well.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Cute Giraffe

Hi Everyone!
I'm finally back from delivering my baby girl to college.. bitter sweet experience even though I know she is starting the greatest adventure of all!

Aside from demonstrating for TAC I am also a teacher at a local scrapbook store and teach card making and stamping. I had to do a make-n-take for an upcoming event and wanted to share it with you. I have to use only store products so I can't use my beloved TAC stamps or papers but I still manage to create with all the other great stuff out there in scrapping land. ;-)

I only have 15 minutes to demo and have the students make the card so I have to keep it simple but fun. I've had this little Giraffe stamp for some time and wanted to use it. He's just so cute! I love the way the colored pencils bring out the texture of the Bazzill cardstock. I thought it looked very giraffe-y.... What do you think?

Supplies used: Stamp- Imaginisce, Pattern paper-Bo Bunny, cardstock- Bazzill, dewdrops, punches, Prisma colored pencils

update

Hi everyone!
I doubt there are many of you out there checking my blog but for those of you kind enough to be interested I wanted to let you know that I won't be posting a new entry for a few days. My family and I have gone to take our daughter to college. We should be back next week so look for a new entry then!

Just Dream Orange

I love the Just Dream stamp set from TAC. I love these happy angels- so perfect for coloring! I again used the Prisma colored pencils blended with Goo Gone technique I mentioned earlier- Like I said.. I'm addicted! I added stickles to her wings to make them sparkle and sponged the white area with a blend of oranges and purple to make it less stark. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: Just Dream T-2953, Miss Moxie paper V-842, Bazzil Paper, ribbon, Pastel Princess Brads F-930, Stickles,

Butterfly Bits and Catelynn

I hope you are on the way to having a wonderful weekend! I stayed up late last night letting those creative juices flow and this card was the result.


I love our new stamp set Butterfly Bits and wanted to create something with it. I was drawn to the fresh colors of Catelynn paper collection. I used buttons and flowers from the Ava Embellishment jar, Our new super jumbo flower punch ,which I love and am using all the time now, and some scrappers floss- another newer discovery that I am having fun with! Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear from you!
