Stamping 411- SSC200

Happy Easter everyone, I hope yours was as blessed as ours. Over at Stamping 411 they are having their 200th Saturday Sketch Challenge.....I think that is just positively wonderful.....and they have blog candy (so you may want to check them out).



All Supplies Used are from SU:
Stamp Set: Friends 24-7
DP: Elegant Soiree
CS: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ribbon: 5/8" Grosgrain (I have forgotten the exact name- I believe it is a retired color though)
Punches: 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" Circle punches; Scallop Border Punch
Other: SU Watercolor Crayons & Blender Pen

(I must admit I did use the Timber Brown Stazon Ink instead of the Black as I wanted a softer/ more natural edge for the image)

Oh I almost forgot- The Easter Bunny ;)  Brought me 11 more Copics stuffed into the straps of a new pair of flip-flops...hehe (could a girl get any luckier?)

I have also posted this over on Splitcoast Stamper's site for the Creative Crew Challenge- CCREW0411CF.....for the watercoloring.

Well that's it for tonight and I wish you a very wonderful Monday....Thanks for stopping by,

Fast and Fabulous!

Hey there, hope you had a wonderful weekend.
I know we did full of family and laughter. Yesterday we went into Edmonton to take the kids to my nephew's 12 Th Birthday Party, followed by a family dinner to celebrate the 3 birthdays in our family that fall in the later part of March and the first 3 weeks in April. It was totally awesome (even my Husband's Grandfather enjoyed the food) - We went to the new Asian Village....which could have turned out terribly as we went there with Grandpa (who is 91 and still living in his own 100%) and 4 kids.

But anyways this is the card I made for my Mother-in-Law's Birthday.
I chose not to use a sentiment- she is an avid recycler so I made the card re-giftable (if she chose to do so). For the inside of the card I left it blank and added an insert with a sentiment and the birthday wishes on it; I put a small note on the backside saying "Please feel free to re-gift this card". I think she was very delighted and she loved the card (she's been known to do some stamping herself) :) 


I got the theme from over at the Pals Paper Arts Blog -  PPA89 which was Flowers, which just fit the bill perfectly as Lil is also an avid gardener ;)

cardstock: Chocolate Chip & Whisper White - SU
dp: Elegant Soiree - SU
ribbon: also Stampin Up
ink: Memento (only because I was feeling too lazy to go downstairs to grab my SU inks)
other: Scalloped Edge Punch - SU

Thanks so much for stopping by and please stop by again soon :) Have a great week,

Jessie

Wicked Altered Lp Album....

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by. First off I have to say a Big Thank-you to Lena @ Simply Fabulous Blog Templates......I won a Pre-Made Blog from a draw she did over on her blog :) And I absolutely Love it.


 I am fresh from a weekend crop here in Edson ...which was simply wonderful. While I was cropping I decided I would try my hand at altering a LP Album and its Cover, it was by far the funnest project I have made in a very long time. It took me quite a while to complete but I think the next time I go to Alter a LP it will go alot quicker. I had seen this idea on the Glitz Design blog or web site quite some time ago ...... so I found it quite fitting that I use their papers to start the project off. I did a whole lot of sanding and inking.... a little bit of stamping (even on the piece of wood that comes on the Cohiba Cigar Package). I also got a couple of the items from the Graphics Fairy Blog--> if you like antique items/ projects you should check out their site (they even have some blog templates). And I finished it off with a few items from Tim Holtz and a couple of chipboard keys from Bazzill. (the ribbon is just from my stash).

So I hope you enjoy it. I am going to post it over on the Glitz Blog for the Get Your Glitz On Challenge #1 a challenge they have going on right now.....you should hop on over there and take a look.

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you have a good one.
