Dreaming of Dresses

Hi Everyone,

Today I wanted to show you

some stamps I bought from

 Loralie Designs.

Also some wonderful dies from

My Favorite Things, Die-namics.

I will put pictures of the products

 I bought at the end of the page.

That way they are easier

to find.

This is the card I made.

I stamped the dress pieces, bows, and flowers out

on white iridescent card stock,

and colored them in with my

Spectrum-Noir Markers.

Then cut them out, added

some pearls and glitter,

and placed them on the card with

foam dots. I also put the bows and

the flower on with foam dots to give

it a little dimension.

I used the dies to cut out the leaves and

 fancy swirls to put with the dress.

The little flowers are from

Prima Designs.

To me it looks like the ball gown is

growing on the flowering vine.

Where do I buy those seeds?

And do they have shoe seeds,

and purse seeds??

Maybe they are further up the vine...

:)LOL:)

Anyway, silly me!

Here are the pictures of what

you will be looking for.

Milk and Cookies

Hi Everyone,

They are here, the new stamps from the Sheena Douglass Collection.

This one is a silly moo cow with a crown

on her head. I love it!

The first thing I thought of was,

yes you guessed it,

Milk and Cookies!!

I looked for a template online for the milk

carton, and this is what I found.

Thank You Milkwood Designs.

Then I pulled out my

Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool

and went to town.

This tool makes it so easy to put together 

boxes, cards, envelopes and a

multitude of other crafts.

After cutting out the template, I

airbrushed the blank side of the

card stock with my

Spectrum-Noir Markers.

(Yes they fit in the airbrush system)

Then put the carton together.

For the wonderful Moo Cows,

just stamp it on white card stock

and color in. Again I used the airbrush

and sprayed slashes of greens for the grass,

and browns for the cows.

Then just cut around the stamp and

glue it on the carton.

How fun is that!

I added a few flowers and the

carton is done.

Now I know it doesn't really have milk in it.

But just think how fun it would

be for the kiddos to have this stamp on a real carton of milk!

( Just attach with foam dots and they can

take it off the carton and keep it.)

 Just add a straw and cookies.

"YUM"

Or, pack the little cookies in a plastic

baggie. Put them in the carton, seal it up, and put it in their lunch box. Maybe add a little note to say, "Proud of you" or "Your the best" What a surprise when they open it at lunch time.

This is just one of the new stamps.

Miss You

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday.

Today I wanted to share with you one of the

beautiful stamps from the Art-Kure collection, Britain In Bloom.

This wonderful large stamp is called Wysteria.

The size of this stamp is 2 1/2 x 5.

I wanted it to be a bit bigger so I stamped it out on

white card stock and scanned it into the computer.

I wanted to show you the beautiful detail of this stamp.

Also to show you that when you purchase these stamps, there is no

limit to what you can do. Make them bigger, or smaller if you wish.

After the scan, I printed it out on an iridescent piece of

white card stock and colored it in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

Then shaded around the edges with 

 Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Dusty Concord 

with the Ink Blending Tool.

To give it a little 3-D effect, I added some flower soft to the petals.

I cut the stamp out, and mounted it on some

black and white contrasting card stock. Then added a few

pearls and butterflies.

I wanted the person to know just what I was feeling.

" I Miss You "

says it all...

Here is the card I came up with today.

I hope you like it!

To see all the great products I used today, stop by the

Crafter's Companion Store

and check it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Mothers Day Theme

Hi Everyone,

Today I painted a little bird house.

The theme this month over on the
Crafter's Companion Challenge
site is Mothers Day.

First I painted the bird house then covered it with
flowers and leaves.
The stamp I used came from the Sheena Douglass   
 Paint Fusion Line, called Simply Sweet. As you can see
I stamped that across the front.
I colored the tiny leaves in with my
 Spectrum-Noir Markers,
and added flower soft for the tiny roses.

My Mother would have loved this little bird house.

I miss her very much!

She is always with me, inspiring me to make and share

different projects.

 "Thanks Mom"

I want to share a beautiful poem that my

daughter dedicated

to my mother.

And yes it may make you cry.

Please stop by the Crafter's Companion Challenge Site and take

a look at all the wonderful projects that the design team

has put together. Join us this month, and make a

project for your mom, or someone you love. 

We would love to see them.

 Just remember to use a Crafter's Companion stamp.

You can  enter up to three times.

Just have fun!!

 Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.
