Here are a couple videos of the ornaments. I think these would make cute Valentine Gifts too!

Jean Journal

2012-01-16T08:47:00.003-05:00

I repurposed the leg of a pair of denim in a a jean journal. I wanted to make it to be more of a momento, thoughts, events time journal.
You can see my video of the outside, the signature pages, and the closure.

Hello

2012-01-15T18:35:00.002-05:00

I was invited to a card front swap, and this is what I came up with.
As a newly Stampin' Up Demonstrator I had to use all SU and current products.
This is what I came up with. Love the pink and green combo. Sending this to my daughter and I have a few extras to keep as well.

2012-01-10T17:47:00.001-05:00

Created this card for my daughter, I used the new Sizzix/SU Doily die and cut it from SU card stock. I chosed to not poke out every piece as I wanted to emphasize the border and the inside flower. The embossing is also a Sizzix folder on SU card stock. The sentiment is from Hero Arts punched from a SU oval scallop punch.

Snowflakes - or should I say blizzard!

2012-01-08T16:14:00.000-05:00

When I was looking for another LO idea, I came upon SOUS challenge where they called for snowflakes, lots of snowflakes on a page! (click on the pic as it's hard to see a double page spread)
Well - last year we had in TOTAL over 8 feet of snow.
These two pages will contest to that and this was only in January - multiple storms one week after another!!

Large Snowflake is a Sizzix/SU die
The mittens, and the snowman with his hands up - almost like saying - now what! is a layered sticker from Provo Craft. The button letters are from Junkikz. The title chipboard is also from Provo Craft.

dad 2nd anniversary

2012-01-08T11:52:00.006-05:00

As I am trying to get some LO done today, I followed a sketch at Stuck on U Sketches and the theme of Rainbows at Charisma Cardz (I know I did a LO instead of a card hope that is ok) for challenge #52, to commemorate my dad's 2nd anniversary of his passing.

The background paper is from Me & My Big Idea Designer pack I picked up at Marshalls (140 sheets for 6.99 now how would I pass that up!), the hearts is a Embosslet from Sizzix/SU, and the letters are from Current. The tags/jounaling spots are from Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Grommet Tags".

Mother's Day LO

2012-01-08T11:25:00.001-05:00

This pic was taken Mother's Day 2011 in front of our home, we had went to Village Haven as we do every year for my MILs gathering and then to her home for desserts.

Since our winter was so long - the blossoms had not bloomed fully yet as they normally would have in front of our home.

I am following the sketch from Sketchy Thursday and a request of AllSorts for paper piecing, and the color scheme at Colour Create Challenge #87 of Red, Cream and Sage Green

I used Colorbok pattern paper and Sizzix Large Doily die (having a problem cutting and releasing all the tiny pieces in the doily but it suited my needs here). The mat for the picture, I distressed using my scissors, and inked the doily and journaling spot.

Included in the picture is of my kids (3), my brother's (3) and our younger sister's kids (3) from Christmas Eve!
To complete the layout I used Colorbok papers and letters, Sizzix flourish dies and Stampin' Up buttons. The feather and lace is from my stash.

Made these with a class, I tweaked the snowflake card to my design.

After punching the two snowflakes, you can take the postive snowflake punched piece and put it in the middle of the two on the frontfor a layered effect. I took the other snowflake and glued it to the inside (not shown). All products are from SU.

Entry as guest designer

2011-11-23T07:20:00.001-05:00

As my last week as guest designer at CRAFT Challenge Blog - I chose this adorable image from The Stamping Boutique Store for the unusual Christmas challenge who is the sponsor this week.

I decided that the image would be great for to and from gift tags.

I printed them twice - once on blue cardstock and then again on white.
I added glitter to the "snow" bulb and for the cute penguin which I printed again on white - cut him out, colored and raised on foam squares.

My friend sent me these game pieces and also drilled the hole for me, this is some more of what I will be selling in a couple weeks at a craft fair!
Inked the back ground, rubber stamped the swirl leaf image added bling and covered in a glaze. The piece is hung from a jump ring and I added a braided cord with a slider closer.
Here is a short video where I explain the process.

Wooden Spool Ornaments

I bought the Better Homes & Garden Craft magazine and these ornaments and how to make them were in there.
I couldn't wait to give it a try, all I needed to buy was the thick black wire and I made 14 of these for ornaments. The music on them are Christmas songs that I strategically cut and glued on.

Hope you give it a try! Please enjoy this short video.
