Inking Up w/Reverse Confetti

I had some time today to play with some of my Reverse Confetti Stamps and to be inspired by a few challenges.  On the top of my list was the challenge on the Reverse Confetti blog, which was a sketch challenge.  Here is my card . . .


 I am learning to enjoy white space, and this card has some white space.  


Here is the sketch that inspired the card . . .

For my second challenge I combined two challenges, the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches with the colors from Colour Q.

                     

I used stamps to create the vertical border down the left side of my card, and when I inked the edges, I inked based on the the color of the arrows that were showing in that section of the border.  If you look close, the colors change on the edges. 


 I had a lot of fun creating this card, as I love to create a background using stamps.  These colors were fabulous together (thank you, ColourQ)!

CAS-UAL Fridays - Bling It On

I wanted to make a little something with some BLING for the CAS-UAL Friday challenge. 

And so . . . still with my Imaginisce paper in supply . . . I created something with some BLING in the paper (in the form of glitter) . . . BLING embossed stamp image (in the form of metallic embossing powder) . . . BLING on my crown (in the form of jewels). 


We need a little "askew view" to see the bling.  Can I just say that I love this stamp.  I love a stamp with the word "freakin'" in it . . . probably because I'm known as "Freakin' Debbie" around the scrapbook store.  


But in reality, this stamp reminds me of a different kind of queen . . . Queen Vanna.  I swear it's her voice I hear when I read the front of this card. 

Ode to my Unity Kit of the Month for including this little stamp! 


Supplies:  Bazzill Cardstock, Imaginisce Pattern Paper, Unity Stamp, American Crafts Embossing Powder, Tim Holtz Markers, KaiserCraft Rhinestones, The Twinery Twine, Jolees Rhonestone



Hawaiian Blessing

A little something with my Skipping Stones stamp. 

When I pull pattern paper I like to use it for multiple projects until it is gone. I hate to waste, and I have way more scraps in my stash then I can ever use, so I like to use it all up if I can. So another card with Imaginicse Pattern Paper. The outside . . .





The inside . . .



I love how this turned out. The jewels for the coconuts really make it all pop. Super cute stamp set!

Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock, Imaginisce Pattern Paper, Skipping Stones Design Stamps, Stickles, KaiserCraft Rhinestones

Flock O'Chicks

I had started a little design for something . . . and then set it aside as I moved on to something else . . . and then something told me to finish it up.

And so I did create some chicks . . . 


I only inked the parts on the stamp that I wanted to ink (left one chick off and separated the sentiment).  And . . . I used my Tim Holtz markers which are quite awesome.  


Now go glue some stuff yourself! 

Supplies:  Bazzill Cardstock, Imaginisce Pattern Paper, Denami Stamps, American Crafts brads and ribbon, Stampin' Up Ink, Tim Holtz markers, Stickles

Made Me a Fence

At some point along the line, I had been given a basket of goodies from a friend, and the Fiskars picket fence border punch was in there.  I had been wanting to play around with it and decided today was the day.  A shout out to Kelly Jo Massicotte who was at New England Scrapbook one day demonstrating some super cool stuff you could do with punches.  She had the ticket border punch and showed me that you can punch a border and then flip and line up said border to punch "the other side" . . . and that is how I was able to get this adorable little garden border fence using the picket fence punch.  CUTE!   


The flowers are Denami Design stamps that were colored in using my Tim Holtz markers.  I was crazy to cut them . . . CRAZY!  But I do crazy crafting well. 
 

Loving that fence!

And I am usually not a fan of blank space . . . such as in the sky above my flowers.  But I challenged myself to leave it alone (so hard).  

Cheers!

Jar O'Joy

A little photo inspiration from Jay Gee's Nook . . .


I see color.

I see a jar with twine.

I see buttons.

I see . . .


I fell in love with my jar, which I stamped with black Stazon onto a fairly thick sheet of acetate from my LSS, New England Scrapbook Co. in Canton, CT.  It even has a shadow.  After cutting it out, I then stamped the "label" onto white and and affixed it.  I used pop dots behind the jar and label to attach my jar to the paper, and adhered the buttons between the acetate and the paper. 


I definitely want to think about some different ways to fill all the jars I will be making!

Keep on crafting! 

Supplies . . . Bazzill Cardstock, Imaginisce Pattern Paper, Acetate Sheet, Stazon and Stampin' Up Ink, Unity Kit of the Month, American Crafts Ribbon and Brad (in flower), The Twinery Twine, Tag Punch from Stampin' Up, Buttons and flower from my scrap stash.

Freshly Made Sketches #35 - This Too!

Twenty minutes to create . . . seemed like an eternity to dry. I have never used a white pen to color anything in before.  I use them typically when I journal or when accenting something in white.  What an interesting thought to color in the picket fence with a white pen.  Check out the nice painted look it leaves on my fence posts.  

 

Yes, a Freshly Made Sketch (#35 to be exact) . . . and I made this . . . 




. . . out of this . . . 
 
 
. . . using scraps of Bazzill Cardstock, Imaginise Pattern Paper, Black Ink from Clear and Simple, Stamps from Unity KOTM, and my retired markers from Stampin' Up . . . and a glorious white pen!  





And I like to add a little splash of color on the inside . . . just to tie it together.  

 



 

A Little Something for Mojo Monday

O.K. - if you want to skip my rant in purple, please jump down to the Mojo Monday sketch.   And if you think you saw this post earlier without the rant, you would be right. 

An interesting thought about blogging for the person with A.D.D.  I've never been diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I'm borderline A.D.D.  And anyone who watches me on a computer will agree.  I will open window, upon window, upon window . . . and I'll be multi-tasking  trying to do a dozen or so things at the same time.  

Is a dozen an exaggeration?  No.  No joke that at my Monday to Friday gig I will find windows open on things I started hours earlier and didn't complete.  And, make no mistake (I'm about to compliment myself, which I rarely ever do) that I am super conscientious at my job.  So when I'm making some changes on something at work, and I realize that a list I'm using might need to be more accurate, I leave my original document to look at the list, and then go to a system to find better information to fix the list.  And I notice that something is a little off in the system, so I go somewhere else to try to fix that, and then from there I see that we could do a better job with something else . . . and oh, yes, I did say I was going to fix that other thing for Joe Smith, so while I'm thinking about it let's open up that other document and make a pivot of the data and, what's that?  Co-worker, you need some help?  Yes, let me help you.  I will open up that spreadsheet for you and get the information you need, oh my this needs some work too.  And it goes on, and on and on.  

So . . . too many windows in blogging means that you will post your message.  But if you had another window open where you were creating a new post, you would say . . . oh this is old.  Let me delete this two sentences because I later created a whole page with everything and posted it.  And when you do that, you will lose the post!  You will lose the post!  And now anyone logging on to see your Mojo Monday sketch, including the Mojo Monday design folks . . . they will see your rant! 

So I'm done with my rant and can now re-post my photos for Mojo Monday!  Loved the sketch (I always love their sketches) . . .


Here is my design with a little bicycle built for two. 


I used some old scraps of what I think were Imaginisce paper and included cardstock from Bazzill, two stamps from Unity Kits of the Month (stamps on the outside were from one set, and the inside stamp is from another) . . . 


Have you ever ridden on a bicycle built for two?  It's super fun.  I had a friend growing up who had one.  I used to love it when we would take it out for a spin.

Salt on the Rim - Skipping Stones Designs

I love stripes and dots, and I had this fun Imaginisce paper that I picked up from my LSS.  When I saw the sketch from Skipping Stones Design, I thought it would be perfect for a fun "party" card.

The sketch was unique in that it was very long.  I decided to go with a taller card . . . you know like those Hallmark ones that you find in the stores.  Mine is around 4 x 9" folded, and there are envelopes that come a bit larger than this so it all will work.   


Here is my design . . . perfect for an adult celebration . . .


And check out that "salt" on the rim!  


Mmmm . . . I need me some lime! 


Supplies:

Bazzill Cardstock
Imaginisce Pattern Paper
Stazon Black
Copic Markers
American Crafts Black Brads
Diamond Stickles
Ric Rac from my stash
