Color Challenge 27

I was busy today. I made three cards and a scrapbook page. I am going to post them one at a time this week.
This is for Stamp TV's color challenge which ends tomorrow. The colors are orange, gray and white/ivory.
I used Pure Luxury Pumpkin Spice and Ivory card stock by Gina K . I embossed the Pumpkin Spice card stock with Memento London Fog in a Cuttlebug folder. The stamp is from the new set by Theresa Momber call Autumn Beauty. The sunflower and pumpkins were stamped, colored and cut out. I colored the images with Copic markers YR16, YR09,YR04,W6, W4. The gray ribbon is from Cloud 9. I like these colors. Let me know what you think.

Stamp TV Technique Challenge 27

Last night was the premiere of the new stamps at Stamp TV. I didn’t get home from school until after 8:00PM, and by the time I got to the premiere it was over. I did see some fantastic new stamps and ideas. I woke up at 5:00AM because I have been doing that all week and decided to make a trip to Gina K’s store. The store opens at 9:00. So before I went I made this shaker card for Stamp TV technique challenge. This is another fun technique to try. When you shake the card the stuff at the bottom moves. It is like the petals are being blown by the wind. Very Cool!
I got to the store around 10:00 and I was so surprised to see and meet Gina K. She is the sweetest person and very helpful. The thing that surprised me the most is how tiny she is. Even this picture doesn’t show how really tiny she is. I am only 5’3" and I look tall next to her. That is me in the middle. Gina and Shelly were so nice. The store isn’t very big but it is well worth the drive.
Now about the cards.
Stamps: Many Wishes by Gina K and Say It With Flowers by Melanie Muenchinger
Card stock: Pure Luxury Ivory and Green Apple
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa and Bamboo Leaves
DP is paper designed by Gina K and it came in the TV kit. I ran out of it and I can’t get more so for the second card I used Basic Gray Lemonade Honey Bee
The stuff that shakes is called Flower Soft

Wow my card is being featured for a week

Hi just quick post.
I just got a lovely comment from Cheryl over at the MSB Prize Challenge.
She said that my card will be featured for the next week and will appear with four other cards at the top of the gallery main page. I am so pleased.

A Great Weekend Crafting

I made three cards and a scrapbook page this past weekend. I really had fun. I am posting them one at a time. I wish I knew how to change the date or schedule them to post one day at a time. If anyone know how to do that please let me know. Plus I learned how to sign my name to my pictures. I think that is so cool. I hope I remember how for the next picture.
This card is for four challenges: Stamp TV Pot Luck Friday, Stamp TV Technique challenge, Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 32, SNR Card Universe MPS Prize Challenge.
The sweet shop was a free digital stamp from Modern Sugar Blvd. and Card Scents. The donuts are a set by Rupa Shevde's at Stamp TV. I used Copic markers and AT You Spica glitter pens to color. The little flowers have Flower Soft on them. That is really cool stuff. The ribbon is from SU and I am not sure where the buttons are from. I didn't keep the container. I think that is everything. If you have any questions just ask.
Thanks for stopping. Let me know you were here.

Scrapbook Challenge

This is my scrapbook page for this weeks challenge at Stamp TV. I used a stamp from the new Stamp TV kit called Thanks A Million on the journal sheet. It says "I am thankful for all the memories we share." The ladies in the picture are one of the reasons I love my job. We have a lot of fun. We laugh so much at lunch I don't know how any of us gain weight. We all went to the Melting Pot for dinner on Girls Night Out. My best friend, the third person in, owns the one in Madison. I am the one in the middle. The menu for Girls night out is chocolate and cheese. Could it get any better than that?
I used my Cricut for the apples, backpack and lunch bag on the page. I wanted food and a lunch theme. They are for the cartridge called Doodlecharms . I am so glad that Stamp TV has scrapbook challenges. Now I am getting one page a week completed and that is a good thing.

Stamp TV Collor Challenge 26

This card if for the color challenge at Stamp TV. The colors are green, black and white.
I spent a lot of time on this card and I am happy with how it turned out except for the one oops on the ... well I'll see if you can see it. I used Inspiration Mosaic stamp by Melanie Muenchinger, and Tropical Windows the free for three set. The base card is Gina K Green Apple from the Stamp TV Kit Signs of Autumn. I used a couple of my Quickutz dies for the butterfly, leaves and black accent. I don't use my Quickutz as much as I should. The really add a lot.
So what do you think of this card?

Four Challenges in one

Boy it sure feels good to have a card to post. I am going to have to find time to craft now that school is starting. I leave for school at 6:45 AM and I get home at 5:45 PM. By the time I get dinner cleaned up I am ready for bed. So I hope if you are a follower that you don't give up on me. Please keep stopping by to let me know how I am doing. I get a lot of encouragement from your kind words.
This card went together pretty quick. It helps when you have a sketch and the colors to follow the rest is pretty easy. The colors are dusty durango, bermuda bay, and soft suede. The DP paper is from Making Memories called Just Chillin. I used desert sand and rich cocoa Memento ink to stamp the sentiment which is from a CTMH set.
The color are for Color Throw Down and Stef Hughes color challenge #1. Stef is a lot of fun. If you haven't been to her blog check it out. The sketch I followed is for Mojo Monday. The challenge for Pile It On is a card for a boy. This might be a stretch but I would send it to my sons even with the butterfly and flower. They apperciate nature! The colors make it a boy card. What do you think? Would you send it to a guy?

Potluck Friday 26 and Stamp TV Sketch Challenge 25

I really liked the technique this week at Stamp TV so I used it to made another card. I follows the Potluck Friday Challenge and the Sketch Challenge at Stamp TV to make this card. Potluck Friday was a recipe to follow called: One-Two-Three-Four Recipe:1 or more designer paper, 2 or more different types of bling, 3 or more pastel colors, 4 or more layers.
The base is yellow card stock. The part that looks like designer paper is this weeks technique. I used three different Memento Dew Drop inks, Lilac Posies, Angel Pink, and Summer Sky to ink the embossing folder called Perfectly Paisley. It really looks so much better in real light. The stamp set is 100% Sweet by Rupa Shevde. I colored it with Copic markers and added Stickles for sprinkles on the donuts. The sentiment says, "Go ahead you deserve it." I love that. The ribbon is lilac with white dots. The boarder punch is from Fiskers.
This really is a pretty card in person, but most of all I had fun making it. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy,

Getting Ready for School

I started calling parents today to set up a visit. I try to meet each students before school starts. Wednesday I will be setting up my classroom and visiting students.
I made these pencil holders for the students to use. One classroom job is to sharpen pencils. This is done one time a day if needed which cuts down on the noise and lots of running to the pencil sharpener. When a child takes a sharp pencil from the green box, they put their broken pencil in the red box.
The August 3D challenge at Stamp TV is to make a pencil cup. I am going to enter these in that challenge. You should take a look at the cool cups people have been making. Take a look here.
The background paper is digital paper from Stamp TV. The red star paper is a free download. The green bug paper is a file you can buy and download. The great part about digi paper is that you can print as many as you want. You can also add text. The green one says, "Sharp Pencils" and the red one says, "Not Sharp Pencils." The stamp set is Bug Me Anytime by Nina Brackett at Stamp TV. I colored the bugs with Copic markers. These were fun to make and went together quickly after I figured out what I wanted.
