Moonlighting

Look! A card I made just for fun! I need to do more of that. I stamped the tree on Whisper White, then brayered So Saffron ink over the whole piece. Then masked a "moon" and brayered More Mustard over the top. I used a sponge to add the Chocolate Chip ink. Then I took off the moon mask and stamped my little owl in Chocolate Chip Craft ink and embossed him with clear embossing powder.

You can blame my best friend Brandi for the doodling.

Happy Birthday Leiane!

 

This is the Rag Quilt Purse I made for my sister's birthday today! She's always been the pink girl, and she's a disgustingly fabulous pianist and singer. Music and pink were the order of the day. Happy birthday, Leiane!

The faces of Halloween

This card was inspired by an ad for trick-or-treating bags. Very rarely do things click into place like that for me, so I enjoyed making this one work! I used the new Decorative Label Punch (Holiday Mini p 25) and then added the faces.The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes (of course).

I made this card for my club swap this week. Try making your own holiday faces with the Decorative Label Punch!

Letterpress Snowflakes

 

This is the card I designed for my downline meeting last week. I wanted everyone to get a chance to try out Stampin' Up!'s new Letterpress plates.  (page 42 of the Holiday Mini Catalog)

It was easier than I thought! This is the Northern Trim plate, which coordinates with the Level 1 Mini Catalog Hostess Set Northern Hearts. The letterpress image uses Night of Navy Craft ink and Watercolor Paper. We added a few Clear Rhinestone Brads, because snowflakes need bling, right? 

Give Letterpress a try! It's a fun new idea for your Big Shot!

More wedding stuff

Bridesmaids gifts. Times 6. {smile}

Where do the years go?

My niece was married last week. She was a darling baby at my wedding, 20 years ago. {sigh}

She couldn't find a guest book anywhere that she liked, soooo, I altered one for her. Her colors were butter yellow, navy, and light blue. Did you know it's very hard to find butter yellow fabric in stores in September???? Fortunately, I had some in my stash. Not enough, so I had to sew two different pieces together. lol But it worked! Added some navy 5/8 grosgrain and some flowers from the Flower Layers Die.

Here's the inside page:

The rest of the pages were stamped with a watercolor flower image. . . I forgot to take a pic of that part.

So just look out, because those little darlings in your life will be all grown up SOON! {sniffle}
