Stampin Clelebration Sketch SC107

Hello and welcome!

I am SO excited to have been chosen to be a designer for the Design team at Stampin' Celebration Challenge blog!  What an honour!

Our challenge this week is a sketch - I just love sketch challenges.  They always help me to expand my card designs.  Here is the sketch that we were working with....

...and here is my card....

If you are just getting to know me and my blog, I have three wonderful boys and all three have birthdays in the second half of June!  So, I wanted to use this sketch to make a great card for my youngest who is turning 7 on the 25th. 

I chose the stampset Sea Street and the classic nautical colours red, white and blue.  I used my circle framelits to create the cut outs for our little sea creatures to pop out from.  The crab and lobster just make me smile. 

I used my Bitty Banner Framelits to cut the banner for my greeting as well as the frame for my greeting.  And, the Happy Birthday has come from my brand new Sprinkles of Life stampset.

Be sure to check out all of the great cards over at Stampin' Celebration and join the fun.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Stampin'

Happy Father's Day with Roger's Daytime TV!

Hello there,

Happy Father's Day!  I hope you are enjoying today and celebrating of the wonderful dad's in your life. 

Today, I wanted to show you pictures from my recent Roger's Daytime TV show celebrating Father's Day.

I had SO much fun with Will Nash (host) and his dad and Melanie Case (host) and the other wonderful guests on the show.  We had a fabulous BBQ with ribs and lots of grilled veggies, there was a massage therapist and a golf pro and me with Stampin'UP!  What a great pre-father's day celebration they had - food, fun and a home made card! 

Here are the pictures of the projects that I made as well as the display I had for the show!

 Here is the scrapbook page I made using the Hello You Thinlits and Star Framelits

Three different sized gift bags using the new Gift Bag Punch Board.  We actually made one live of air.
 

Finally, some treat bags of course!
 

Wishing you and yours a Happy Father's Day

Be sure to stop back by tomorrow when I have some VERY exciting news to share with you!

Socer Dad with The Paper Players

Hello there my Stampin' Friends!

I have another Father's Day card to share with you today.  This is one of the cards I created for my regular card class this week.  It was a Father's Day / Masculine themed class.  Perfect timing, right?

So with that in mind and a lot of the mom's that attend my classes are soccer mom's, I thought this would be perfect for them. 

Here is my card.....

The challenge over at The Paper Players this week is for Masculine Cards - more perfect timing!  Be sure to have a look at all of the wonderful creations that they have posted  - you can do that here!

The tools I used to make this card are:

Simply Sports Stampset

Teeny Tiny Wishes Stampet

Hexagon Hive Framelit

Fringe Scissors

Word Window Punch

2 3/8 Scalloped Circle Punch

Circle Framelits

I hope you like my card.  Happy Stampin'

World's Greatest Dad, Mojo Monday Style

Hey there,

Forgive me for being a bit late on my posts this week.....June is SUCH a busy moth for me!  All three of my boys celebrate their birthdays, in Ontario school ends (teacher gifts, bus driver gifts - you get the idea) and last but not least.....Father's Day!  And, I am a lucky girl who get's to celebrate two wonderful father's of my own as well as a terrific Husband and Father-in-law!  Lots of celebrating this month at my house.

To help with all of this gift giving, I went on over to Mojo Monday (MOJO401) - well actually, I am a subscriber to their e-mails, so their ideas land right in my inbox - and got some great card layout inkspiration so to speak  ;)

Here is my card....

And here is the sketch layout.....

So, how did I do?

There were a few things I knew I wanted to use for this card - the Guy Greeting Stampset  that was carried over to the new Annual Catalogue (yah) as well as the new ultra lightweight DSP from the new Annual Catalogue - perfect for adding to a card.  All of the dads in my life are very mechanical, so I was so happy to see the tools in this stampset.  Now, just to decide which dad to give it to.  lol

Happy Stampin'!

Stampin' Celebration SC105

Hello there,

Thanks for stopping by.  Today, I have a card I created using the sketch challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!  I just love the cards these ladies create for us - they are SO talented.  Be sure to stop on over an have a look....if you weren't already there.  ;) 

Here is the sketch they had for us....

And, here is the card I created!  What do you think?
 

I wanted to use some fun bright colours for my card.  I thought this pattern from the Sweet Dreams DSP was perfect and it is just days past retirement.  I layered it with some Curshed Curry cardstock over a Whisper White card base. 

I thought this sketch was the  perfect opportunity to use my framelits to make a shape frame for my focal point - I just love how this turned out (it was my first time trying it).  To do this, you use two sizes of the framelits, one inside the other then cut them out using your Big Shot - all at the same time!  My stars were made in Bermuda Bay.   Beautiful next to the curry, it makes me think hot and tropical.  Then I added a small star using the smallest size from the framelit collection to fill in the middle.  

My greeting is from the stampset And Many More - this set is a must have!  It has every holiday in there - I am sure getting my money's worth on this one.

And then last but never least, I added some bakers twine.

Off to begin my father's day creations.

Happy Stampin'
