Season's Greetings

 

I loved making this card! I got part of the idea from SCS with the red rhinestones on the tree. I think the bling makes it. I also used the Scor-Pal to create the raised lines to frame the ribbon. And I must stay the SU! Kraft cardstock is my favorite!!!

How about make a quick 2009 calendar with or without pictures for a husband, grandparent, teacher, friend, etc? I just put this new Create-A-Calendar '09 Kit together and it was quick & simple. This kit gives you EVERYTHING you need to create a cute calendar. Use the backs of the calendars to add photos, if you wish. I am going to use mine to track all of the birthday's I need to remember! This kit comes with complete step-by-step directions and it is ONLY $7.95, but if you order BEFORE 11/15 you can take 10% off!

Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to email an order to me at jksheller@comcast.net.

Star Tag

 

 

I got these kraft stars from the CKC Convention this past August. I liked them because they are flat on the back, so I thought they would make great gift toppers. I took Real Red (SU!) ink and sponged the ink onto the front of the star and then on the other side made the to/from tag. My original thought was to cover the front of the stars with patterned paper, but that did not go over too well, so I went with the ink instead.

Products used:
Stamps - 2008 Holiday Tags Collection (Papertrey Ink)
Ink - Real Red & Old Olive (SU!)
Cardstock - Kraft & Old Olive (SU!)
Tools - Sponge (CTMH), Edge Distresser (SU!), Coluzzle & Martha Stewart Circle Cutter

Happy "belated" Halloween!

 

I had two blondies last night! Usually I have a brown hair girl and a blond hair girl, but last night they were BOTH blond :-) I got to spend the night with Hannah Montana & Snow White! We had a blast! Hope all of you out in blog land had a good night as well.

My new favorite find...

 

 

So I still have not crafted anything lately, but here is one of my new finds for ribbon. I just LOVE it!!! I found this at www.stampingbella.com. I believe it comes in blue as well, but PINK is my favorite color, so of course I HAD to get that one. This bag holds a TON of ribbon and I highly recommend picking one up. It saves SO much room without having the ribbon on cardboard cards or the rolls they come on. Let me know if you get one too and what color you pick :-)

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend out in blog land!

Christmas in July!

 

I made this card back in January. My friends and I have a Christmas card challenge and each month we make 10 or so cards so by October we are done. We swap a card with everyone too so we get new fresh ideas from each other as well. Like I said, I made this back in January and now forget most of the products I used. However, the stamp set that was used is called Big on Christmas from Stampin' Up.

Thanks to all of you who have come back to check out my blog and leave such nice comments!!! I have missed the blogging world :-)

Have a WONDERFUL day and stay cool! It is supposed to be almost 100 degrees here in Chester County, Pennsylvania. YIKES!

FINALLY...A new camera!!!

I am back! I will start posting photos again tomorrow. I want to thank all of you who have stuck with me during this time of NO posts. I have been dying without a camera because I am a scrapbooker and that is how I look at life and want to capture all the pages I have in mind that I would like to create. So check back tomorrow and I PROMISE I will have something to share with you :-)

Hello fellow blog readers!

I have some bad news -- I broke my camera yesterday :-( I was trying to take a picture from our 2 story foyer and dropped it all the way down and onto the hardwood floor. I just wanted to let you know that I will not be posting until I can get a new camera. But I assure you I will be back once I get that taken care of. I am SO bummed. It was only about a year old :-(

Bitty Baby Blessings Gift Set

Here is the set of 8 note cards I made for my daughters 1st grade teacher as a baby gift. I had SO much FUN making these cards! (Thanks Elisabeth for letting me borrow the stamp set -- I will be ordering this set ASAP!).

I stamped the onesie & elephant images onto the pattern paper and then cut them out and adhered them with dimensionals to the embossed scallop circles. For the elephants I also paper pieced their ears and adhered them with dimensionals. It is a little hard to see in the photo, but under each scallop circle is the sentiment "adorable" stamped in the same color as the cardstock.

I am hoping they can use them as thank you notes for some of the gifts they receive. Thanks for looking :-)
