December 2011 Sketch Blog Challenge

Hello!! Thanks for stopping by :). Today brings you another project featuring the latest sketch challenge from The Scrapping Stamper. I mixed it up this time around and did a card using her sketch instead of a layout. Since my Christmas cards still are not done, I thought this would be a perfect chance to get one more done. Here is her sketch this month:
Here's my take on her sketch: The details are fairly simple for this card. I used Coredination Paper for the card base (Scarlet) and layered that with Bazzill (Vanilla). The Christmas papers are by My Mind's Eye from the Merry Days of Christmas collection. I think this came out in 2010. I have a ton of it in my stash as I really like this line. The papers really coordinate together nicely. The Merry Christmas sentiment is by Just Rite and is included in the Sparky and Friends set. I love the new Just Rite cling stamps! Nothing beats really nice cling rubber stamps. I used Tim Holtz's Walnut Stain for my ink. His ink has become my "go to" ink lately as it is perfect for so many projects! The pendant was punched out using Stampin Up's Pendant Punch set. Lastly, of course I can't have a project without bling! The little red rhinestones are by Kaisercraft and add just the right amount of sparkle.

That's it! Fairly simple overall. The most challenging part for me was cutting all of the pieces to fit propery on the card front. I hope you'll give this sketch a try on your next project. Be sure to stop pay The Scrapping Stamper's blog and leave her some scrappy love. Have a wonderful weekend! Come back soon :).

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my little spot of craftiness. I’m very excited to be a part of the December Fan Club Blog Hop for Paper Makeup Stamps . If you’ve been hopping along today, then you probably got here from Simonne Clay’s blog SemSee’s Sparkly Scribblings . If you haven’t stopped by her place yet, be sure to do so as her creations are amazing!! If you’ve gotten lost along the way, just take a peek at the listing below to get back on track. Without further ado, here’s my little creation for Paper Makeup Stamps … This was so much fun to create! The sentiment is of course by Paper Makeup Stamps and is the May the Spirit of Christmas Wordart . I absolutely love this sentiment! This will surely be one of my “go to” stamps this year for my Christmas cards. Other details of this card … I used the Stampin’ Up Snowfall Printed Window Sheets for the base of my card. For my layers of cardstock, I used Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock . I’ve been turning to this cardstock a lot lately ...

RAKin' Good Time

Image
Hello blogland!! It's been forever since I've last blogged .... life has gotten in the way yet again. One of the things that is keeping me the busiest is the ning group I created for crafty folks - Fancy Paper Crafters . I never realized how much time went into being the organizer of a social site until I made the leap and did it myself. Even though it does take up a large amount of my spare time, I absolutely love the fact that I have a place to go to share my craftiness without feeling that I'm not good enough. So, I made another leap today and decided to create a Facebook Group to go along with the ning group. Just trying to get our name out there to get more people involved. To entice folks to join (either group), I'm offering up this RAK. You will be entered for joining either group (join both and get TWO entries!). This is a Flocking Powder Collection by Inkadinkado that offers 12 different colors. You can read all about it either on the Fancy Paper Crafters Face...

Camping

For those of you that know me, know that I would NEVER actually choose to go camping on purpose. However, I know my husband really enjoys it and thought I would step out of my comfort zone and make an attempt to learn about one of his passions. So, on the morning of November 1, I set out for my first camping trip (1 night only!). We went with some of our friends, Nick and Kristin. The deal is that I would go if Kristin went and we've been trying to find the perfect weekend for a year now (hmmm, intentional ya think? LOL). We were supposed to be up in Charlotte (going to Lake Wylie at the State Park) at 12:30 but had to go to the grocery store and buy food and get the truck packed up. Nick and Kristin were getting firewood ready and were also running behind. We ended up getting at the campsite at around 5:30 (this meant that I would actually only be "in nature" for roughly 18 hours LOL). After unloading everything at our two campsites, the first order of business was setti...
