Amazing Paper Grace

 
My good friend asked if I would make her some Halloween things, so I cooked up a few items.  I made acard following the sketch from A Sketch for You to Try, courtesy of the most talented Jen Del Muro at Iheart2stamp. 

 
The card is watercolored using Tombow markers and uses the cutest K&Co Halloween paper. […]

Just a note to say, no card today.  I’m working on some things behind and scenes and hope to be able to share this weekend.  Everybody have a safe holiday weekend !
Labor Day tidbits:
Labor Day is halfway between Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day.
The very first Labor Day was held on September 5, 1882.
In present time, […]

 I have a quick card to share with you today; it’s my try at Sketch Challenge 191.   Whoa, the sketch is really simple but the panels have to reach the edges which means I couldn’t really do layers!!!!  A day without layers is like a day without sunshine :)  Okay, so I made up for […]

It’s not autumn here yet but a girl can dream, right?  Am I the only one that sighs when I day dream about fall?  It’s seriously the most wonderful season and a wonderful prelude to winter.  Everybody else seems to be stamping autumn so I couldn’t stand back and be left out!   I am seriously […]

 
WooHoo, a couple of my new embossing folders came in yesterday…they were ordered more than a month ago…grrrrr.   It was great to get to play with them, and again I resorted to the foil paper - this is a precious shade of light blue.  This card is a big one…I think I got carried […]

Oops…stop…hold on!  There has been a change of plans. 
 
  
 
Do you remember not so long ago I told you I was going to be the guest designer for Our Daily Bread Designs from August 15 to September 15?   Well, that plan was scrapped.  Sigh….my first Guest Designer gig and I was primed to go the distance…sigh.  […]

 
I had another project I had not shared featuring paper from the Hope Packs available at Our Daily Bread Designs.  This project is a picture carousel with a removable lid for storing items.  I used two of the verses from the Hope set that made their debut with Our Daily Bread Designs  this month.  The […]

I had this frame in my mind for days so I finally sat down to try to figure it out.  I knew that I wanted a dressy card and I think the eyelet border punch played into it well.  I cut strips of eyelet border and mitered the edges to make a frame, then I […]

I have a quick post  this evening - I hope you’re already having a wonderful weekend!!   I {heart} these little clipboards and  standing clothes pins.  When Our Daily Bread Designs released their three new sets of stamps and introduced the Hope Pack, I knew that I wanted to cover these alterables with the pink […]

Well, today finds me a little bit under the weather.  My husband caught a cold or something and I thought for sure I had it.  I crashed for about 12 hours of sleep and feel better but still feel like something is lurking.  I didn’t get any stamping done last night or today, but thought […]

 I love circles and the new Wednesday Sketch challenge  (SC190) has a circle smack dab in the middle!!  Well, I got busy playing around to see what I could come up with.    Yesterday I played around with gold foil and velvet so today I turned my attention to silver!  Here is the sketch.
 

It’s difficult photographing […]

 
I was dying to play along with the Technique Challenge for the week  (TLC182) which was to make a clear goodie box.  I scoped out some cool black velvet paper that was in my stash and decided to pair it with gold.  Well once I got the box most of the way done, I came […]

Today was the first day of school, yay!!  I saw her off this morning at 6am and she’s home now, and I already have an appointment with her guidance counselor… sheesh!    I forgot how much effort it is to keep everybody on the same page when kids are in school.    I would have had my […]

 
Wow, people emailed me lots of questions about the most recent cuttlebug card that I did.  Many wanted to know the name of the embossing folder I used  and where to get it, so I decided to do another card using that same folder.  The name of the folder is Gratitude and it’s a little […]

 
I have another card to share with you from the Peace on Earth set, newly released by Our Daily Bread Designs.  As soon as I saw this dove, I knew that I wanted to make the simplest card possible using it.   With three different scriptures in the set, initially it was a tough choice which […]
