October???? Seriously!!! I have completely neglected my blog! I have been so busy lately. I started classes towards my Autism Spectrum Disorder endorsement. That happens most Saturdays and of course there is homework to go with it. Like the crazy woman that I am, I also signed on to do two nights a week for the Reach for the Stars after school program which puts me at work until at least 6:30

The flip book I made for my friend's daughter. One of these days, I'll get it in the mail to her! So hard to get to the post office when they are actually open when you live in a little cow-town. I used Little Yellow Bicycle dsp and matching accessories. The card stock is Bazzill. Thanks for stopping in!!! I know I've been absent a lot. Working on classes again and when you add in regular

Hi!! Remember me? I'm not sure I know where the time went! The new school year has been keeping me extremely busy. Every week I think to myself, "After this week, things will settle down and I'll be able to do some fun stuff again..." Well, that week seems to have finally arrived. I stayed after school today, but only to get in a few laps on the track with one of the girls from work. It felt good

Yesterday was my first official day back to work and it was a LONG one! I may not see my stamp room for a couple of weeks as I find my feet with the new school year. This is one I made last week. I used a cute little La La Land image (love these) that I had colored with Prismas and Gamsol. I added some glittered flocking to all the furry parts of her outfit. Nothing fancy here, just fun! Now I'm

It's my last day of summer break!! Tomorrow it's back to work getting ready for the students to come a week later. It's just not enough time to prepare! One of the things I did to make my classroom organization a little prettier was to make this little book to keep track of the books my students borrow from the classroom library. In the past I have just kept it on a piece of notebook paper in my

I wanted to share a project I made for a dear friend of mine. As soon as I saw this Bugaboo image, I knew it was perfect for her. My friend works in a computer lab at one of the local high schools and this image completely reflects her outer personality. One thing about Nancy, you never have to wonder what she's thinking! She's a little crusty on the outside, but she has a heart of gold and I

My second post today. I'm usually lucky to do two posts in a week! I checked the Ways to Use It challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers this morning and it turned out to be one using one of my favorite card stock colors....kraft!! I just had to play along! The first thing I grabbed was the 6x6 stack of Basic Gray Kraft dsp that I just had to have and never cut into. I love the look of black and

The other day, I saw a card on one of my favorite blogs, Lucky Stamper, in which Kathy made a long card. I really got the urge to make a card in that size and here is the result of my efforts. I used a hostess set from SU! and some old dsp in chocolate chip and pink pirouette. I even got into my stash of buttons and used them for the flower centers. Definitely not a card that will be mailable

Today's card is done with an image that is totally unlike any I have ever used. It was sent to me by an on-line friend ages ago and I had never used any of them. I had also never used this fun sentiment set from SU! As I was cleaning up some things and ran across this image, the sentiment set popped into my head as being perfect for it. So off I went to my stash of 6x6 paper packs to find some

I have come to the conclusion that I need my job to provide a time structure for my life. Too much free time just isn't a good thing for me. Without any long term classes to take and lots of stamping time on my hands, I pictured getting amazing things accomplished. Alas, I have only piddled with a few projects, though a couple of them were more involved. This butterfly box is an example. A friend

I've had my eye on this little cowgirl, and was able to stamp up a few of them from a friend's stamp she received for her birthday. Still had the Gabrielle papers out, so I used them again for this card. The flower is crocheted (by me!) with a brad from the same Bo Bunny collection in the middle.

This is a card I made up yesterday morning with one of the images I colored earlier in the week. This Daisy image is one of my all time favorite images...reminds me so much my little Kyli. The papers, blings, and butterflies are all part of Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection. The image is colored with Copic markers.

I'm sharing with you a card I made this morning with a stamp I bought yesterday! That almost never happens! This adorable giraffe is from The Artful Stamper and I picked it up at the LSS, Priceless Scrapbooks. He is stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. Took my markers and few prestamped images to play with yesterday at Priceless. This guy had just arrived the day before and

For my summer professional development opportunity, I applied for and was chosen to attend the 2011 Florida Division of Forestry Teacher Tour. The tour included four days of touring and learning about the forest industry from the science behind growing the trees, managing forests, and protecting natural resources, including endangered species, to all the products that are made from trees.

Holidays tend to be pretty laid back around here, so I had time to play with another challenge. This time I decided to dig into the stash to play along with the girls over at Totally Stampalicious. Their challenge this week is to make a card with stars and stripes in honor of July 4th. Red, White, and Blue was completely optional, but I used plenty of those colors and lots of glitter, too.

When I woke up this morning, I had a pun in my head inspired by this guy and some stickers I found in my stash while cleaning up the stamping asylum the other day. This is Dory, our beta fish. Even though he is male (don't know how they can tell, but that's what the store told me when he was purchased) he is named Dory because of DGD's fascination with Finding Nemo. He's blue, so therefore, his

I've been really busy the past couple of days and while I've done some crafting, it's been more on the lines of coloring and Zentangle. So, I'm sharing a card I made a couple of weeks ago when I was playing with some Kanban images. Love the coffee/chocolate theme of this set. Almost felt like cheating because the images are all ready to go...just punch out. I added some gold Krylon paint pen

Wow...posting two days in a row!! It must be summer! I found this little girl all stamped up and colored hiding in my stash of supplies. I had colored her for a particular project and ended up using a different image for the project. So here she is today. Magnolia image, SU! papers, sentiment and punch, MS border punch. Colored with Copic markers. Thanks for stopping in.

My Father's Day card for my dad this year. The image is a digi from Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The paper with the tools on it is from DCWV but as yet, I have been unable to get my hands on a whole stack. One of my stampin' sistahs was checking out what I was working on while I was coloring and said she had the perfect paper for my image. Thanks, Penny!

Another of the sympathy cards I had to make recently. Playing with a bunch of SU! supplies, some of which had never seen ink. Summer vacation officially began today, so I am hoping to get to play with my neglected toys a lot in the coming days. Have to get some things sorted out today before I can start playing. Hoping to get in a lot more visits to some of my favorite blogs, too!! See you soon!!

I'm recovering from my second late night in a row with a third, or is it fourth, cup of coffee. The eighth grade dance is in the history books for another year and it went very well. We had 117 kids attend, all behaving well and dressed to the nines! I wanted to share a few pics of the some of the decorations. Our art teacher, and fellow stamper, created the city skyline with the help of some of

Well, tonight is the big night for our outgoing eighth graders and this is the keepsake invitation that will be going home with them. The back side has all the detes for them. The flourish is heat embossed with versafine black ink and clear embossing powder to minimize visible specks from the powder. The sentiment on the front was computer generated. The cupcake is punched with SU!'s cupcake

I can't even begin to tell you how long I've had this blingy flourish!! I still have two more and am determined to use them on projects this summer! This is a sympathy card I made for one of my two friends whose father passed away last weekend.

Yes, I'm still around. I've just been very busy and haven't had any time for stamping. A four-day weekend was just the ticket!! I woke up this morning with a burst of inspiration to make this card using the faux tooled leather and faux burnt edges techniques. Love them both and they work so well together.

I have wanted this particular Magnolia image for so long, and she is finally mine!!! She is one of my absolute favorite Maggies. She is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. Added a little glitter gel pen to give her a touch of sparkle. Keeping it quick tonight as my pillow is already calling to me and it's only 8 PM! Thanks for stopping in!!

Wow! I got a new stamp set and inked it up the same day!!! I have been waiting to order this stamp of the month set from CTMH since the new catalog came out and I finally got it yesterday! As soon as I got it home, I started on this card for Kyli. I used some spring papers from Echo Park and card stock from the scrap box. All the little eggs are glittered up. Kyli is definitely Gramma's girl...

A few weeks ago, I saw a post on someone's blog in which a button design patterned paper was used to line the bottom of a tray. When I saw it, I immediately thought of the 30,000 or so buttons I have stashed in my room. I used many of the older buttons that belonged to my grandmother who removed them from every piece of clothing before it finally hit the rag bag. She NEVER through anything away

It was time to make another baby flip book! My dear friend Sue, who is also the teacher in the neighboring classroom from mine, will be temporarily losing her para (aide) for the rest of the school year as she takes her maternity leave sometime in March or April. She is such wonderful help to Sue and often lends a helping hand to my needs as well. She is expecting a boy, so I dug out a stack

I never posted Kenny's birthday cards this year. The one I made for him didn't come out like I intended but he doesn't know that and probably wouldn't care either way....he rolls his eyes at some of my purchases, but I know he is one of my biggest fans!! So here is the card I made for him for his birthday back in the beginning of February. I used an old favorite SU! set, Classic Convertibles, to

I made this card with Anna Griffin papers. The scallops were cut with Nestabilities and the stamped images in the center are from Just Rite stamps. A little tedious and time-consuming, but worth it, I think. This is so shiny and shimmery in real life.

She loves cupcakes, so I knew I had to use this image from My Favorite Things to make her card this year.

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I've posted anything new on my blog! I just can't figure out where my days go! I finally got a chance to do a little creating last night and played with some emboss resist. I had a comment from a reader that led to a delightful email conversation. In the process, I've made a new online friend. One of things we talked about was how to do the emboss

While I was in my girly mode the other day, I also created this card for a paint chip I am participating in. She is headed off in the mail today to her new owner. As far as I know, she doesn't read my blog so it should be safe to post it here. Where's the paint chip? All the little punched hearts are from a paint chip. I used a nested heart Nestabilities die to punch the hearts and then added

The Totally Stampalicious challenge this week is to make a masculine card. Like most of the DT, I used Mr. Fix It to make my card. I love this image and all the cute sayings that come with him. I dug into the scrap pile and neglected supplies to make this one. I completely forgot that I had these screw head brads! The paper has the texture of crackled paint and was purchased from a local store's

I have a confession to make...I am a terrible hoarder when it comes to my paper crafting supplies! I bought this paper (Kaiser Craft) ages ago and had never used it. Such is the case with so many of the beautiful papers I have purchased. One of the things I have been determined to do is use some of the beautiful things I have bought and share them with others in the form of cards and other

Today, I'm posting the second of the two flip books I made over my break. This one is for a boy. For this one, I was able to use papers and embellishments from my stash except for the buttons. I didn't have any buttons with me when I made the book, so it was a great excuse to buy some more. I really needed those buttons, because I am down to a mere 50,000 or so in my stash which puts me in severe

I had to make a couple of flip books over the break. Actually had these done before Christmas, but didn't have them photographed before they go off to their owners. Both are very late!!! I will show you the girl book today. It was made primarily in purple, with touches of green for a secondary color. The papers actually all match very well, but I couldn't get them to photograph or adjust

Another ornament I made, and probably my last Christmas project for a while. I used a Penny Black image that I just love. In the image, the three kitties are in a row, but I punched them out each into an individual circle. I dug out some candy-striped ribbon that I picked up at an after Christmas sale last year and another of those charms from my stash was added to the bottom. The back has dsp

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas with friends and family. I know we did...got to see all the kids over the two days and most of the grands, too! It warmed up nicely for Christmas day, but got really cold again that night and never warmed up yesterday....freezing again today. I hear that there were reports of snow all around us, though I never saw any of that nasty white stuff, and very

Sharing a card I made for a swap at the local scrap and stamp store, Priceless. We had a Christmas party there a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night...lots of cards, food, friends, and fun. This image is from Penny Black and the papers are Bo Bunny. I made lots of these to swap with everyone and used different combinations of papers for them. the snowflake is covered in chunky glitter and lots

Woo hoo!!! I'm officially on Christmas vacation!! Lovin' it and hope to get lots accomplished during my break. To kick things off, I made this card for the challenge over at Totally Stampalicious this week. The challenge is to use a some kind of faux technique and I used one of the many versions of faux wood to make a background for Gus and his pick up truck. This technique is done by simply

Here's a card I got to make just because I wanted to!! Always a fun concept and I got to use this cute little image that I picked up last weekend!! Put a dog in the picture and I will probably buy it!! Add a chubby little munchkin and it's guaranteed!! This set is from My Favorite Things and I picked it up at Priceless, the LSS. I colored him with Copic markers. I was trying something

Clean and simple...a tough concept for me and in my world, this IS clean and simple. It looks like it has lots of layers, but it's actually no more than four layers at it's deepest point. I used papers by Bo Bunny to make it appear to have more depth. The green scallop and border around the image layer are part of the paper's design. The only embellishment added is the single bling in the center

This is another of the double gift card holders I've made lately. This one had a matching card to go with it and was made as the sample for a class at Priceless Scrapbooks. The papers are Bo Bunny and the stamps are from Hero Arts. Here is a shot of the gift card holder in the open position:

Christmas is getting close and it's just about time to get things wrapped up! That's the challenge for this week over at Totally Stampalicious...the make come kind of packaging or topper. I used a tutorial I had in my stash from a technique challenge that was done several years ago on SCS by Lynn Mercurio.

Wanted to quickly share this card with you. I made it a few weeks ago and never posted it. The reindeer image is from little Great Impressions. Had to have him!! Those stars on his butt are just the cutest!! The papers and felt accessories are from Little Yellow Bicycle. Everything on this card came from Priceless Scrapbooks...the LSS.

Now we expect to have quite a few players for this one...but we've NEVER had 100 players or more! Soooo, if we go OVER the 100 player mark, we're going to give away a PRIZE valued at OVER $30!  Now, how's that for a deal???  For this

When I got to Priceless on Friday (the LSS) she had just gotten in some wonderful new papers and accessories from Bo Bunny and it was love at first sight!!! The line is called Midnight Frost and I immediately snatched up the 6x6 pad, bling, stamps, brads, and some other goodies to match. The top layer is stamped up with blue chalk inks and silver embossing powder using the stamps. The sentiment

I attempted something a little different for this week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious to make a card or project with the theme of a hot cuppa.... I used an older set from Totally Stampalicious, but one of my favorites...Coffee Brawd. I used the digi version to print the images on computer printer iron-on transfer sheets that I picked up at one of the craft stores. It really worked pretty

Seems like that's what we've been doing around here for the past week. We woke up a week ago today to the tragic news of the loss of five neighborhood children in a horrible house fire. The children ranged in age from 6 to 15 and the oldest three went to the school where I teach. The oldest boy was in the classroom next to mine and had been with that teacher for three years, so it was especially

Wow!! I actually got a card done for this week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious and got it uploaded in the same week! This week's challenge is to make a monochromatic card in blues. I used Let It Snow Stella for my card from the Bugaboo line. The card stock is Pacific Point and Neehah super smooth white.

This is a card I made just because I wanted to!! I don't get to do this very often. I picked up these papers at a sale at Priceless over the summer and just built my card around them. The image is one of my neglected Magnolia images that had never seen ink. Thanks for stopping in!!

A couple of weeks ago, I made this card for the Monday challenge at Totally Stampalicous, but I never got it uploaded. Things got so crazy around here....couldn't believe it!! Anyway, the challenge was to case one of our DT members and I decided to case this card from Pat aka Kokirose. I used Bubble Bath Scarlette and Linen Closet papers from DCWV.

I stamped up this cute Magnolia image that I've had for quite some time to go with my newly acquired Magnolia butterfly die. I doubled the layers to get a butterfly with both pink and purple on it. Lots of pink, purple, and bling on this card! Papers are SU! Image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.

Another card using one of the newly released Totally Stampalicious images from their Bugaboo line. This time I used the second image from the Christmas JJ set. After I had almost completed coloring the image I realized that her dress is a reindeer costume, so my colors are exactly accurate for a reindeer....oops! Added lots of sparkle to go with the sparkle on these papers from SEI from last

What a wonderful weekend this is shaping up to be!!! Got to play with the girls at Priceless last night, going to get that sweet little granddaughter in just a little bit, and I didn't bring home one piece of work that had to be done for school!! I can just relax and do what Lynnor wants to do for the first time since school started back! Here is a card I made last night using some of my new toys

The challenge for the week at Totally Stampalicious is to make a project or card with the Thankful theme. Well, I have to admit that the theme is a stretch for this project, but it was the first thing that popped into my head, so I went with it. I immediately thought of this cute Shopping Cart Stella image from TS when I saw these 5 x 7 inch photo sleeves to go on the fridge. I thought it would

I made this a few weeks ago and never uploaded it. I had gotten some new toys at Priceless and decided to play right away....I love this purple tulle!!! The image is from Great Impressions and has very little coloring on it, so it made up very quickly. I'm pretty sure the papers are by Echo Park. I used a Coluzzle to cut a small frame around the image, stopping when I got to parts of the image.

Totally Stampalicious is having a Halloween challenge this week and they have really gotten into the "spirit" of things. They are offering lots of great incentives for participation this week, so head over to check it out. The regular prize is bigger and there's a way to get the digi file for the Witch Brawd image I used for my card for free!!! I used one of the sentiments, the witch, and the

Most of what I've been making lately is Halloween themed and I really needed a break from it, so while I was at the crop at Priceless Friday night, I went down and picked out this cute snowman image from Impression Obsession. I have been wanting him since he showed up in the store a couple of weeks ago. I didn't bring any Christmas stamps with me that night, so it was the perfect excuse to add

This card evolved from the covered slide frame that I had made last year and never used. I used papers from the same  6x6 stack to make the background...a sheet of Basic Gray Eerie. The pumpkin image is from Heartfelt Creations and cut out with a Nestabilities pumpkin die. The little bat in the corner of the slide is from a piece of dimensional ribbon that I picked up at Priceless. I was also

There are so many wonderful products out in the stamping and paper crafting world and I'd just love to own every single one, but that just isn't possible! I'm so blessed to have so many stamping buddies that have the same problem because we talk to each other about what products we are planning to purchase. If it's one of those things that you just wouldn't use everyday but just gotta have, we

 I made a bookmark for the challenge this week at Totally Stampalicious using one of the newest Bugaboo digi images turned into acrylic by TS. The challenge is to make a bookmark and I have been wanting to make some of the cool corner bookmarks I have been seeing around. There is a great tutorial on SCS by Beate Johns. For my project, I used Bubble Bath Scarlette and Linen Closet papers by DCWV.

 I took part in a swap of Back to School themed cards and this is what I came up with. This cute Gruffy from House Mouse pretty well represents where I've been at most days since the start of the school year!! Sometimes I feel like I'm always buried in books for lesson plans, ideas, previewing text, and whatever else I need to do. The dsp is Nook and Pantry by Basic Gray. The crochet trim is from

Here's a card I made a few weeks ago with one of my recently purchased Magnolia images. The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I cut her out and popped her up on top of a sponged background. The background was also sprayed with Caramel Apple Glimmer Mist, my new favorite color of these awesome sprays. Had to free hand cut the rust layer around the large scalloped Nestabilities

In celebration of the end of summer, I made this card for a swap I was participating in. The image is a digi that I knew I had to have the minute I saw it! I colored it using Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I've been using this coloring technique a lot lately because my Momento black ink is hiding from me, so I can't use my Copics!! I like the Prismas well enough, though...especially since I

 I made this card for the challenge at Totally Stampalicious this week to add paper flowers to your card. Cafe Scarlette is colored up with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to match the papers I used which are from a set of retired papers from SU! I used several different ribbons and trims on this card and lots of black blingy accents. The flowers are made using a scallop circle punch, a paper

 Where does the time go? The kids are back to school and I feel like I barely have time to breath anymore!! I'm so glad I take the time on Friday evenings to unwind with the girls at Priceless for a little creative release!! I made a couple of cards while I was there but this little book is from a few weeks ago. So much to do..... I love these little books from Close To My Heart. They are six by

I just love all the wonderful embossing folders that are available to add texture to your creations and the challenge this week at Totally Stampalicious was a great excuse to use some of them!!! The challenge is to use at least two textures on a card. I used TS's Witch Brawd to make my card. I added texture to several of the layers using embossing folders. The designer papers from Graphic 45 were

This is a little cook book I made a few weeks ago and never got posted. It's been a little crazy with all the my meetings and activities getting ready for the new school year! I used cooking themed stamps from three different companies to make this. The cook is from the Voila set by Stampin' Up! I used a mask to place him in the center of the the text circle which is by Bo Bunny. The image was

It took two weeks of Friday night crops to get it done, but here is a scrapbook I made about my recent trip to Ohio with my daughter in law and grand daughter. I still have to add some journaling, but the book itself is done. I used two $1 board books and cut them apart to make my pages. I added Bo Bunny papers and accessories to the pages. The book is held together with 2" rings with some

 I usually make most of my Christmas cards over the summer, but summer has been so crazy this year, I never even got started!! I finally made one last night at the Friday night crop down at Priceless. Actually got a lot done the past two weeks at the crops, but the rest of my time has been so jam-packed, I haven't stamped a thing other than at the crops!! Where did my summer go????? I go back to

 Well, it wasn't easy, but I managed to make a card that only has one layer!! I used JJ Pregnant from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line to make my card for this week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious. The card base is Sahara Sand and the inks used for the stamped design on the border are chocolate chip, close to cocoa, and tempting turquoise. I used the rock and roll technique on some of

I made this card for the challenge at Totally Stampalicious...to make a card that is decorated on the inside as well as the outside. This is something that I haven't done so well in the past, but have been making more of an effort to do, so this was a great challenge for me! Also a great excuse to hide in my stamp room for just a little while after unpacking from my trip last week. Here is the

 Home at last!! We left Ohio at 4 am and got home at 10:15! It was longest it ever took me to make the run between Ohio and Florida. We had heavy traffic and lots of rain. To add to it all, my stomach got all in knots making driving even more stressful and I had to make a few extra stops along the way. But we are all home safely and for that I am thankful! We had a great time! In case you don't

The papers are Sweet and Sour from SU! with some pumpkin pie, regal rose, and very vanilla card stock for the base and layers. I used a border punch from EK Success for the right hand edge.

 I needed a card for a swap in which the sentiment was the focus of the card. Thought this would be an easy one to come up with, but as it turns out, all the sentiment stamps I have with big images were for sympathy cards and I just didn't want to use that for a swap card....KWIM? I ended up using a sentiment from a sheet of vellum that had a gazillion of them printed on it and cut out the one I

The theme for the swap was The Great Outdoors and as much as I love nature and the outdoors, this was a tough challenge for me.

Scroll down to second post for today.  I made this card for the technique challenge on Splitcoast Stampers this morning which was to make a tilt card. It was super easy and turned out to be a cool technique I will be using again! It's kinda like a slider card where the image rolls across the front of the card, but in this case, it just

The challenge at Totally Stampalicious this week is to make a card for your best friend, whoever that may be....your girl friend, hubby, the dog....whoever!! Instead of trying to pick a BEST friend, I decided to make a card in honor of all my girls.....You're the best!!!  For my card today, I used Cafe Scarlette, one of the newest Bugaboo images released by Totally Stampalicious in an acrylic

I just got the new owl punch from Stampin' Up! and just had a blast messing around with some scraps. I made several cards with it. The leaves on this card are from a Martha Stewart punch that arrived at the LSS while I was there. Hehehehe...it didn't even make it to the shelf!! Here are two more cards I made with the owl punch...  I found a really cool clear stamp set from Inkadinkadoo last week

Good Monday morning, all!! It's Christmas in July and it's hot!! So many areas are having above normal heat and it's always hot during a Florida summer, so this cute snowman is feeling the heat!! The challenge this week over at Totally Stampalicious is to make a card with just a splash of red. You can use any other colors, but keep the red to just a splash....a lot less than what we'd like to see

Can you stand one more card made with my Cottage Wall scraps? Very simple go-to layout. The layout is one of my favorite ways of making cards from scraps. The only part of this card not made from scraps is the card base. I think I made this a couple of weeks ago, but it's been sitting on my desk waiting for some attention. I finally got into my stamp room today to do a little cleaning and then

I made this dresser box and matching card the other day, but didn't get it posted until now. So many things to do!!! I got the tutorial for the box here. The card probably didn't need all those buttons as far as the design goes, but there was a need....let's just say it was an embellishment opportunity! I used Baja Breeze card stock and some papers from K and Co. that I've had for years...much

There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in my day to play with all the cool things I find!! I saw these crocheted stars on a blog a while back and the blogger was kind enough to provide a link to the pattern to make these cool stars and I just had to try them.....so easy!! I have been making these little guys in the evenings while winding down before bed and thought I'd use a few of them today
