Back to School...

I am so excited for school to start again! I love my kids, but I love it when they are doing their thing, kwim? I am playing with my library card templates and with stamps from SU! that rarely see the light of day :)
I printed the set of cards, stamped the images, and did a little coloring with my copic markers. Easy! Now I have notes to leave the kids in their lunch boxes, send a note to the teacher or add to an album.

Want to make your own? Head on over to my Etsy shop and you can print your own or pick this set up! Want to win a download, just leave some love on the previous post by Monday.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Hello?!!!

Well it has been awhile... do you remember me? It has been nearly 2 1/2 years since my last post. I had some life things to take care of. I am sure that nearly all of you can relate. You know when you just have to take a step back and decide what is truly important and focus on that? That is what I did and I wish I could express how amazing the journey has been.

But enough of that for now, I know you are here to see some paper stuff. So here you are, a journal I have made that goes with the challenge at SCS today, to use a frame.

I started the journal with thick chipboard and used Paper Mod Podge to adhere all the paper to the chipboard and then used it as a protective top coating for the rest of the paper elements. The images are from Stampin Up (I Like Your Style). I have been going through my stash to clear some room and remembered how much I heart this set. By the way if you are interested in some retired SU! sets check out my Etsy shop. I will be adding more sets in the next few weeks so check back often :0

For this library pocket I made my own. I have also added this to my Etsy shop so that you can use it too if you would like. I have a digital version, so you can be using it by this afternoon! The journey sentiment is from the Tim Holtz collection of stamps called Visual Artistry, gorgeous!

I finished the journal by binding it with my Bind-it-All.

To kick off my return to stamping and blogging land I am giving away a free download for the library pockets. Just leave some love (comments) and I will pick a random winner on Monday, August 15!

Thanks so much for stamping by!

{hi}

Just a quick post today to show off some of the fabulous new things just in at PaperAddiction.com.This line is from Pink Paislee. For this card I used brads, cardstock stickers, stamps and die-cut paper. I kept this card really simple because I was at a crop over the weekend and didn't have all my supplies at my disposal, but I like the simplicity.

Thanks for stamping by today!

Shabby Angel

Hi! I used Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge for this card featuring an Angel from American Art Stamps and the new line of paper from Basic Grey called Porcelain, yummmm.

I stamped the image on white PTI Cardstock and colored it with watercolor pencils and a blender pen. Not much more to tell about this card so I hope you have a wonderful day!

Surprise!

Hi! Back in January I got some fun stamps from Unity to help showcase StoreMoreStamps.com

I really had fun making this acetate card. I stamped the image onto the acetate with brown StazOn and then colored on the reverse side of the acetate with my Copic Markers. If you color over the StazOn with Copics it smudges. I then stamped the image on Basic Grey DP several times and did some paper piecing. The sentiment was stamped with white StazOn with a green Copic on the reverse.

So please let me know what you think, I have been in an absolute stamping funk for so long, I need to get some positive reinforcement:)

Luck of the Irish

Hi! I finally got time to play in a limited supply challenge on SCS. I have been working at my local scrapbook store moving some inventory around, it's been fun, but totally cutting into stamping time:)

I just love this Karen Stopler image from American Art Stamps. I stamped it onto PTI Lemon Tart paper and colored it with Copic markers. My two embellishments are glitter and ribbon. This card would be totally easy to mass produce.

Stop by PaperAddiction.com to check out the Basic Grey lines that came in a few days ago, Marrakech and Porcelain, mmmm!

Hi there!

Did you miss me? I have been in a self imposed exile. I have had some family in town and got a cold on top of that, but I am back and have some fun things to share.

This is for today's sketch challenge on SCS. I am using the brand new line from Imaginisce called Summer Cool, and it is in stock at PaperAddiction.com, woohooo!!! This was a really easy card to put together. I stamped the flower 3 times and colored it with watercolor pencils and a blender pen and then stamped over the top with the SU! sanded background with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

I had an absolute blast at CHA and will post a few pics in the next few days:)
