Glitter Ritz

This is a Thomas Kinkade stamp, inked with blue versafine, then I put a piece of Sookwang tape on top, and covered with glitter ritz. I know the sparkle doesn't shine through on the scan,but it is so pretty in real life!

My Mind's Eye blog challenge

My Mind's Eye did a blog challenge with a sketch last week, and this is what I did with it. I love to work with sketches, it's so much easier. I just bought Pagemaps last week by Becky Fleck. It is awesome and I totally credit it as the reason I got so many layouts done at the crop last weekend!

Sandspit amusesment park

Here's a glimpse of all the fun we had in Sandspit this summer. It was a beautiful evening, no crowds and the kids were very adventurous. Even convinced Claire to go on the roller coaster with me-but once was enough, she didn't want to go again!

Fudge, our hamster

Here's our cutie, fudge. Still alive and doing well and he's 2 months old ( I heard they have a short life span!). Anyhow, love these american crafts puffy stickers, the mushroom and hedgehog are by Sassafras. Claire asked me why I had a hedgehog on the layout- I said it was the closest thing I could find to a hamster! Tough crowd!

Santa's sleigh


This stamp is by Impression Obsession, and is lots of fun to color, and add sparkle to. It looks so much brighter in person, guess I could take a photo but the scanner is so easy! Anyhow, I'm going to a scrapbook crop this weekend, so I should have some layouts to share when I get back!

Branch out

I've used this stamp set for spring cards, but I think it is just as pretty as a winter card. I used the SU! white gel pen to add the snow to the tire swing and the branches. A good winter card, not just for Christmas.

Dasher

This looks so much better in real life. I have red and gold stickles in his antlers, and he's embossed in gold.

Cards from the Stamp-a-Stack yesterday


Cute little snowmen, from the hostess set of Stampin Up! I used a stencil from the nestabilities oval to sponge the Bermuda Blue ink around the image.

Bellarific Friday- anything winter


Finally, I have completed a Bellarific Friday challenge again! Here, I used minty coffee which I just love, and colored with my prismacolor pencils. All the paper is retired SU! except for the artichoke.

Serene Snowflakes

I saw a sample similar to this one on Splitcoaststampers, so when I saw the color combo I had to try it. The ink is Bermuda Blue, and Chocolate chip (SU!). Such a simple card but so pretty. I think this may be one of the 10 cards we do for my xmas class in a couple weeks.

Serendipity stamps!!


These guys are so darn cute!!! There's lots of stickles on them so irl they glitter! Used prismacolor pencils and the striped paper is from My Mind's Eye, Christmas line.

Prima stamp


Here is the other stamp that is part of the Scraptivity kit. I embossed it with black versafine, then embossed with Stampendous disco black embossing powder. The white paper is embossed with a flower template that was also part of the kit. The cardstock this month was co'ordinations, so when I sanded the black paper with a sanding block, the yellow showed right through. Too cool!

Christmas Eve '08

More from the kit! The circles are made with a square prima stamp, inked in red then green, and circle punched. The kit was full of all kinds of little accents, like the clothes pin, and the tiny watch face just above the title.
