Card of the Week #4

Good morning!!

Isn't that owl soooo cute?  Counting down, only one more day and you can order the Just Celebrate stamp set!!! 

After making the Easter cards a couple days ago (this is the same card template), I knew I had to make this my Card of the Week Tutorial.  Simple, quick and so stinkin cute!

If you'd like to make this card with me, pick out an image that will fit in a 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 square and head over to my Chic n Scratch Live site to watch the video tutorial!

Have a great Friday and thanks for stopping by!!

Spring Break Designer Paper

Good Morning!

Doesn't this card kinda look familiar?? I have a story for you.....Yesterday when I was cutting cardstock for my class, I couldn't find the designer paper that I had used.  I searched... for what seemed like forever....and could not believe where I found it.  It was the paper from the Creative License Simply Scrappin Kit (hostess level one).  Why I thought it was the Jersey Shore Designer Paper, I'm not sure :))) 

Since I had cut the blue bayou cardstock and ribbon, I needed to make a card to use up those supplies. The Spring Break Designer Paper had just what I was looking for!!  In person, this card is super cute, the colors are so rich!!!  Click here  if you'd like to see the original card and in a few days I'll show you how that card changed :))  The new card uses the Jersey Shore Designer Paper!!

Don't forget this darling stamp set, Just Celebrate will be available March 1st (Saturday)!!!

Stamp class is tonight!!!  See ya tomorrow!

p.s. thanks for helping me decide which card to make yesterday!!!!!

Ink:  Black Stazon, Pumpkin Pie, Blue Bayou, Basic Gray & Old Olive

Tomorrows class card!!!

Good morning!! 

Today I'm struggling with which card to use for tomorrows class!!!  Would you like to help me out?  I'm going to cut my other four projects first and that will give you time to vote.  There's so little difference, maybe I should just put the paper on the table and let everyone choose.  (If you purchased my kit, let me know if you'd like Pretty in Pink or Soft Sky.)   

p.s. I've had a headache for over 24  hours and I'm so happy I was able to whip this card out while talking to my sister Kim.  She shared with me her knew word......PUSH....it means Pray until something happens.  Don't you like that??

   Have a great day!!

Easter Basket

If you'd like to see how to make this darling Easter Basket, head over to my Stampin' Academy  my Chic n Scratch Live and watch the video tutorial.  Good news.....if you're coming to my Stamp Class on Thursday or if you bought the kit, this is one of the items we're making :)))))

A Good Egg

Card of the Week #3

April Birthday Card Club/Kit

Good morning!!

I had zero time for stamping yesterday... So, I decided to go ahead and show you the April Birthday Card Club/Kit.  You've seen this card before, in a couple other colors and it's one of my most favorite cards.  I'm using the Bali Breeze Designer Paper one more time, before the Merci  stamp set retires!

If you'd like to order the April Card Club Kit, I've posted it on my Chic n' Scratch Shack.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask!!  (If you've ordered the March kit, they are going in the mail on Saturday morning.)

Let's hope I get a chance to stamp today!!!!

Thanks for all your kind words regarding my children, Brook's hardware is in and she's doing great! Chase is sick and it got put on hold.

  Have a Fantastic Friday!!

Celebrate!!

Good morning!!

This is the only card I had a chance to make yesterday. And.... I just had to tempt you one more time..... before March 1st!!  That's the day the "Just Celebrate" stamp set becomes available.   Did you see the card I made with the owl a few weeks ago?  He too is in the same set, it's truly a must have!!!

Another busy day ahead of me, both Chase and Brook are getting hardware in their mouths...bless Brooke's heart, she's getting the Herbst appliance tomorrow.  I wish I could call in sick (you know... since Mom is my official job).  I had to watch Chase get his Herbst appliance last year & it was so painful for him, I think it hurt me just as much to watch it!!  (you can Google herbst if you're interested in seeing that contraption :))))

Have a great day.....see ya tomorrow!

Stamps:  Just Celebrate (available March 1st)

Ink:  Black Stazon, Basic Gray, Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery

To the moon & back

Hello Stampers,

I made this card for Chase yesterday.  He's getting some additional hardware in his mouth on Thursday and I'm giving him this card.

There's a little story behind the words....( the words are not Stampin' Up! but the rocket is!!!)  When Chase was little, pretty much since he was born, I always told him that I loved him to the Moon & back, we also read "Goodnight Moon" so many times I could actually recite the book without opening it  (I miss those days :((  So, long story short, when A Muse came out with this word stamp I had to buy it.....guess it's a good thing Stampin' Up! came out with the Pun Fun stamp set!!! 

Today's a super busy day... hope you have a good one!

Stamps:  Pun Fun by Stampin Up and sentiment by A Muse

Ink:  Black Stazon, Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky & Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock:  Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou & Shimmery White

Tools & Accessories:  Aqua Painter, Blue Bayou Double Stitched Ribbon & Stampin' Dimensionals

Monogram Pins

Good morning!!

This is what we made last night during my Stampers 6 Club. 

For months, I planned on making name tags for everyone but decided this would be better!!  Cute isn't it?   (Gerry & Christine, we missed you last night...but not to worry I stamped everything for both of you girls.)

Are you trying to figure out what I used?  It's a laminate sample from Lowe's or Home Depot.

You can go to my Stampin' Academy Chic n Scratch Live! site and learn how to make these.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!

Small cards today

Thanks ladies for helping with my decision yesterday regarding my cards using the Big Bold Birthday Stamp set!! Looks like card #1.... won!  Today, I'm going to show you today the smaller version of the card, only difference is....I stamped the dots on the celery, instead of using the designer paper.  I still plan on using the designer paper for my class!!

If you'd like to learn how to emboss the top of the cupcake, head on over to my Stampin' Academy  Chic n Scratch Live! site and watch a tutorial on "How to Emboss".

My next card was made real fast to show you how to use your Amethyst punch purse if you watched that tutorial.

Tonight is club night & I have a super exciting project for them to make!!! I can't wait to show you.

Have a great day!!

Stamp Class Card

Hello Stampers!!

Last night I worked on making these cards for my next Stamp Class.  Would you like to help me decide which one to use?  (you could say card 1 or 2 or 3)

I'm not sure why I can't make a decision....do you ever have those days? 

Here's the card that inspired me!!  Amy made this card for one of her events and I liked it so much I raced home and ordered the stamp set.  (I had wanted that set forever and that just pushed me over the edge :))) Thanks Amy for sharing!!!

  Here you have the male and female version :))

Gotta run....tomorrow is my Stampers 6 Club night and  last minute Angie has to get busy!

Take Care!!

Angie's Handbag

Good morning Stampers!

I have a little bit of sad news.  I can't share the details regarding the cute little handbag I showed you on Sunday. As soon as I get the okay, I'll share with you.  The good news is the box I created around the holidays can hold us until we can make the other one. 

I've created a tutorial and it's already on my Stampin' Academy Chic n Scratch Live! website.

Click here if you'd like to see the original box I made in December, the only change I made was I shortened it by an inch and changed the handles.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

p.s. you can also view the supply list with the tutorial....did  you notice the New Summer Picnic Designer Paper?  It will be available March 1st, it's amazing paper and you will love it!!!!

Lots of Thoughts card

Good morning!

Today's card is one that we made at the Group meeting on Saturday.  Isn't it cute?  Aren't you happy I'm showing you great ideas using all the Sale-a-Bration sets?  Lots of Thoughts is the stamp set we used on this card and the Designer Paper is Fall Flowers.

Having all these projects from the group meeting has really helped me out this week.....maybe tomorrow I'll share one of my own ideas :)))

My next  picture is the side view of yesterdays bag. 

Have a great day!!!

One more bag!!

Good morning!!!

This darling bag is one of the items that everyone made at our group meeting on Saturday. Isn't it darling?  I love that Merci stamp set!!!  Notice how we stamped the heart on designer paper and then cut it out?  When I get caught up, I'll take a picture from the side of the bag and load it in my Group Meeting photo album.

Today I'm playing major catch up, Dave is only home for three days and then headed back out.  So, if you've emailed me it the past two days, I promise I will answer you today!!!  Between the group meeting, laundry, helping with homework, quality time with family...I'm exhausted and the weekend is over :(((  I'm sure alot of you know exactly what I'm talking about!

Have a fantastic day and thanks so much for stopping by!!! 

p.s. I loaded the post it note key chains on my Chic n' Scratch Shack!! (In the next couple days I'll post a better picture of them.) And if you're interested in learning how to use the Aqua Painter I loaded a tutorial on my Stampin' Academy.
