'Tis the Season!

Unfortunately its been raining the past few days and all the snow is gone, Im begining to think that its not going to be a "White Christmas" after all. Here is a wreath I made using Tim Holtz "Tattered Pinecone" die :) add white paint and glitter to look like real snow! :) enjoy!

Fab Five Day 4

Todays Fab Five is "3D Projects" I absolutely LOVE making these paper totes using Spellbinders Grand Dies and the Grand Calibur :)

Fab Five Day 2

Here is Fab Five Day TWO!! I hope everyone is enjoying all the creativity lately from the rest of the gals blogs!

Fab Five Day 1

Here is day one of Fab Five, I wanted to start with a simple feminine card, this could be easily mass-produced as a thank you card for a bridal shower, girls birthday, ect. I wanted to show that the Judith "stubby" stamps arent only used with the "tree for all seasons" stamp. This card has a simple "thanks" in the corner, My Minds Eye paper and Liquid Pearls dotted along on the paper to accent the swirls in the pattern.

Fab Five day five

Im running a little late today! but heres day five, Tim Holtz :)  This neckalace was made with his chain, mini glass bottles, and charm. Sorry the picture quality isnt the best, but in the store to see it in person! happy Friday!!

Fab Five Day Four (My Favorite Things)

Its Day FOUR!! todays creation was made my Lisa at Picture This, with "My Favorite Things" stamp set "Twisted Threesome" I love these stamp sets and all the silly, but oh so true sayings in them. Check back tomorrow for Day 5 and look back at a weeks worth of inspiration :)

Fab 5 Day 2

Sorry it is a little delayed today. I tried uploading it this morning and it wouldn't work :(

This is a simple, fun card using the poinsetta Spellbinders with the edges lined in gold leafing and dipped in glitter. I also used the leafing pen on the outside of the card and and elegant gold ribbon wrapped around it.

Hope you enjoy :)

Fab Five Day 1

Welcome to another week of "Fab Five" Its nice to be back in the loop after taking the summer off. What else could go better with pretty fall leaves, sweaters, boots, and pumpkins besides some Wisconsin Football! lol

After a great weekend of Wisconsin sports i decided it was only necessary to post this Badgers Card!

Supplies Used:

Judith Stamps: Tree for all seasons, football, and pawprint stubbie stamps (the claws were added to make them look more like badger footprints)

Badgers Paper

Heart Brads

Check back tomorrow for Day 2 where we will be showcasing "Spellbinders"

Dress Form Wedding Card

Ahhh, as you can see Ive neglected the blog this summer, but good news! Fab Five Week starts up again October 3rd-7th, quote of the week: "Im not feeling very creative today" I Promise that will change soon :)

Here is a sample from the store I made a few weeks ago using Metallic Ice Silver Cardstock, Tim Holtz dress form die, pearls and May Arts Ribbon enjoy!

"Wine a little, you'll feel better"

I found inspiration from a popular stamp set we have in the store,"Twisted Threesome" by My Favorite Things, I decorated this wine box with My Minds Eye paper from the "Lime Twist" Collection. The bow on top and tag were both made out of coordinating MME paper as well.

"Happiness is freedom, flowers, and a little sunshine!"

This was a simple page I made using a new paper line we got in at the store called "Simple Stories." Summer as been super busy as you can see!

Cheeky Beach Girl

 Im uploading my blog before I get in any more trouble at work for slacking, things are quite crazy in the summer!! If you didnt know, Im absolutely obsessed with Greeting Farm stamps and the girls at work all knew I was patiently waiting for the arrival of "Cheeky Beach" These girls are sooo cute! As soon as the shipment came in Paula stuck one on my shelf and as soon as I saw it I took it home and started coloring.

Paper Purse

Here is the purse I made for my last class a couple of weeks ago using Spellbinders Grand Calibur and Grand dies. The ladies in class had a ton of fun and some were especially excited to fill it with goodies and give as a present.

Love is for the birds

Here is a cute simple card I made showing some new product we got in the store. (paper, twine, and bird brads) The stamp is by Amuse, We have put a little twist on it using spellbinders tag and an extra layer under the patterned paper to make it "Make and Take ready" for next Thursday stop in 11-1pm at Picture This!!

Fab Five Day 5

Well here it is, Day Five! Now you will have 25 plus ideas using Spellbinders!! These two cards are created using Nested Hearts and Labels Four. I went with a "Twilight" theme, I love the books and movies and Im anxiously awaiting the next movie release. The stamps are all from Amuse and colored in with Copic Markers.  Have a Great Weekend everyone!

Fab Five Day 4 "Best Fishes!"

Id have to say that I think this card turned out super cute for how simple it was, The Spellbinders I used were from the new "Foliage" Spellbinders. I cut them out in two different shades of green cardstock, I inked & stickled the larger one and cut a slice in the paper to tuck the bottom of the diecut behind. The fish sticker was from a Reminisce 12x12 sticker sheet, I placed it on paper, cut it out, and then put pop dots behind the fish to make him pop out from the coral in the background. Then I stamped Amuse stamp "best fishes!" in the bottom corner. Hope You Enjoy!

Fab 5 Day 3

Here is a super easy Fathers Day card made with Spellbinders Nestibilities Standard Circles Large. I folded a white piece of paper in half and when I ran it through the cuttlebug I didnt push the plates all the way through so it didnt cut through the paper all the way at the fold. Then I embossed the card with cuttlebug embossing folder the opposite way to give the white circle those golf ball like "dimples." Finished off with some ribbon and a those cute little Changito Monkeys we used for Fab Five last month. I wrote "fore you" on the front with a pen but the store does have "fore you" & other golf related stamps that are perfect for that golf loving dad.

Fab Five Day 2

Todays Project is a cupcake topper, the girls and I have been having a lot of fun creating these toppers, this one is perfect and easy for a Princess themed birthday party for a girl. Just cut out the crown, emboss and distess with pink ink, apply stickles for some extra BLING!! and Stamp Princess in the middle. :)

Fab Five Day 3

Dear Followers:
My update is a little later than I usually post it but I have some good reasons why; #1 Im in the middle of a nasty spring Wisconsin Storm, it started yesterday with rain, then some sleet and hail, and then some more rain, a thunderstorm over night and I woke up to this:

Can you see the road? probably not.

I planned to update my blog at school but they canceled (they never cancel) So I packed up my stuff, scraped all the ice off my car, and headed over to the in-laws (for internet) to post todays project, it didnt take me long to realize that it was a horrible idea, but I made it, after 45 minutes (I went 3 miles down the road)

My project today reminds me of warmer, sunnier days. To be exact, Broiler Fest (my hometown's carnival) Kickball Tournament, last year we won the championship. It was a warm sunny weekend, until the last day. It downpoured, but we had a ton of fun, and Im sure we looked something like a Changito Monkey running and slipping around in the mud, and jumping up and down when we won.

Supplies Used:

Changito Monkey Stampendous Stamps
My Minds Eye Paper
Copic Markers
Memento Ink
Hero Arts Jewels

So here is my new obsession!! The Greeting Farm!! These "Cheeky" girls are SOOO cute!! The one I used in this card is "cheeky howdy" and they are now availabe at Picture This! My plan was to upload all the samples I made this past night but.....I was showing them off at the store, and how excited I was to put them out as samples and was asked a couple times if they were for a class....thank you Joyce for convincing me :) so I cant post all of them but your more than welcome to come in the store and check them out, and check back soon to the Picture This website and check out the class list for details and a picture, Im still working out a date. yay!! I cant contain my excitement :)

Candle Holder

Lisa and I have recently invested in the Elizabeth Craft Design Product, (glitters, transfer sheets,and adhesive paper) We have been holding monthly classes at Picture This teaching the many techniques using this product, this weekend we put a few cards together for our next class March 24th. Ill post a picture of them once we finish the last one, it needs some tweeking. Yesterday a new stamp company to Picture This came in, and I was SOOO excited!! I was stamping and coloring all night long :)(Ill share the name of the company along with my creations tomorrow, so trust me you will want to stop back, these stamps are ADORABLE!) between breaks of coloring with the Copics I got out our glitter and started playing, and made this candle holder. I really wanted to make a champagne glass, I had envisioned something someone could use at a wedding with heart stickers and red and white glitter, but Walmart apparently doesnt sell champagne or wine glasses seperately...darn! Hope you enjoy and check back soon for some new ideas and product and our class updated with a picture :)

Fab 5 day 5

Dont forget, today is the last day to leave a comment on any of or blogs and get entered in a drawing for some free goodies!! have a great weekend!

Fab Five Day 4

Here is my day four House Mouse Card, It is hard to tell in the picture but the green paper in the background is embossed with cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots. I had a little trouble with this one, I got carried away coloring the ice cream to look like my favorite (mint chocolate chip) with brown stickles as the chocolate chips that I ended up later finding paper to match, my point is still: Copics are great and you can think outside the box when coloring stamps like these.

Fab Five Day 3

Well its Wednesday, Halfway through Fab Five Week! hope you all are enjoying the creative inspiration. Also, all the cards made by the fab five team are on display at Picture This if you are interested in the stamp or any of the product stop in and we can help you find it :)
