I cut up my Thomas Kinkaid Christmas Series Paper Pack on Saturday morning and made 8 cards in less than an hour for the Snow Challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms. I’m going to use similar, simple layouts and finish up the rest of them. I can get 48 cards from this pack of gorgeous paper with larger images for gift wrap or bags and solid coordinating paper left over.

The scenes in the Christmas pack are all snowy, so with ‘warm wishes’ from the Joyeux Noel snowflake set, I can package these up in sets of 4-6 for quick, thinking of you gifts at Christmas. They’ll be perfect for Christmas thank yous or New Year’s cards that the recipients can send.

These are accented heavily with glitter in snowy spots. Love how quickly these cards came together for me. Wonderful sense of accomplishment.

Stamps – Joyeux Noel (Aimee Nugent Line) Cornish Heritage Farms
Cardstock – Thomas Kinkaid Christmas Paper Pack & Kraft (Prism)
Ink – Snow Cap Pigment Adirondack & Espresso Adirondack (Ranger)
Accs – flourish strips that I cut up (Prima Marketing), Sukura Quickie Glue Pen, White Glitter – unknown, dimensional foam dots

See you tomorrow!

WSC59: Prince Will Come

Posted on September 26, 2008 | 19 comments

Scroll down to yesterday’s post for WCMD Blog Candy from Paper Crafts, Lizzie Anne and Cornish Heritage Farms!

So quick this morning – it’s Homecoming Week, and any of you in small town America know that’s an entire small town deal! I’ve got to be up on the ‘courthouse square’ in 10 minutes to watch my first grader in the ‘NO TO DRUGS’ mascot parade! Good times!

This is a new Rummage Bin (love Lesley Langdon!) stamp, Someday My Prince Will Come from Cornish Heritage Farms. I thought I’d cut it all up for Beate’s cute & crazy sketch today. Sometimes the things I think will be the easiest end up taking the most time, KWIM? I’ve colored the princess with Copic Markers and her crown with a Sukura Stardust Pen – wish I could find my Spica Glitter Pens, but they ran away from home during the ‘great organization’ three weeks ago. The organizing still isn’t done, and the pens haven’t come back yet. 🙁 Ribbons, stick pin and beads and some die-cut trim from Prima accent the card.

Make sure you check out Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Laurie, Mary Jo and Sharon today! (I’ll edit for links shortly.) I’m sure they rocked it out today, and have some pure eye-popping inspiration to share with you! I’ll be back ~

Time for Tea?

I got a chance to play with Kim’s new Comforting Hugs set this weekend. There are plenty of adorable images for ‘get well’, but I thought this would be a quick and cute little ‘tea time’ invite.

Cardstock: Super Smooth White (Prism) & Eva patterned paper (Basic Grey)
Ink: Rich Cocoa and Lilac Posies (Memento by Tsukineko)

Bookmark & The Shack

Posted on September 22, 2008 | 14 comments

Lynn Mercurio posted a cool little project challenge this morning at Splitcoast. It was to use the given pattern to create a bookmark. Since my friend, MaryBeth asked to borrow a book over the weekend, I thought this was so timely. Seems she’s going to be taking a car trip to Florida (that is a long, long way from Missouri!), and she wants to borrow the book, The Shack,by Wm. P. Young.

Have you read The Shack? If you have read this amazing book, I’d love to know what you thought of it. If you haven’t, I highly encourage as a good read. It’s engaging fiction that I couldn’t put it down with a lot of thought provoking issues. You can pick it up at any discount store with a book section (i.e. Wal-Mart).

Friend

We’ve had such a good weekend…doing nothing. 🙂 Actually today after church, we went out to a friend’s land and road 4-wheelers and let the dog run. It was a gorgeous day. I got home just before sunset and snapped a picture of this card I stamped last night.

WSC58 & World Card Making Day

Posted on September 19, 2008 | 17 comments

It’s FRIDAY! Time for Beate’s Sketch!

My littlest punkin got off to a rough start this year at school, and by week three I was wondering if we would have to sell her to the gypsies. A lot of talkin’ and prayin’ and hopin’ and cryin’, and she seems to have finally settled into the routine of things. I’m sending this card to the teacher today to thank her for her patience and communication with us. I love Kim Hughes fun style, and her Making the Grade set is perfect for all sorts of school situations.

You can see what other sketch-spiration came about from Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Mary Jo (who got down and dirty this week! ;)) and Sharon by clicking each of their names. Me? I’ve got big plans this today: I’m getting new tires for my truck. Not exactly the kind of rubbah I like to pay for…maybe the postman will be sweet this afternoon and leave me some new Kim Hughes. You’ll know tomorrow if he does!

Hey – I have a card featured on the World Card Making Day website, and Paper Crafts Magazine has graciously sent me some blog candy to give away to celebrate World Card Making Day the first weekend in October! I’ll try to think of something fun and post the link and details later this afternoon. Stay tuned!

Nativity Story

Posted on September 15, 2008 | 16 comments

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.” ~ Luke 2:10

I posted last week that I had a special Christmas project to share. This is one of three projects that I have featured in the newest Paper Crafts special publication, Holiday Crafts & More. You can pick up your copy at Barnes & Noble, Michaels or probably you local scrapbook store that carries periodicals. It is filled with wonderful holiday sentiments and gift ideas.

Last year around Thanksgiving, I picked up this tiny little nativity scene at Hobby Lobby. It was the best $2.99 I spent last year. I say ‘little nativity’ because all of the pieces fit in this band aid tin from Provo Craft. I altered my tin and typed up a few verses to explain the Christmas story. I love how it all tucks away so nice and neat. This would be a wonderful gift for a Sunday School teacher, and I see many, many uses in children’s ministry areas. I know that our set will see a lot of action this Christmas season, and it’s one of those things I’ll treasure always.

See you tomorrow with a color challenge creation! Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Story Book – Cornish Heritage Farms
Cardstock: Poison Ivory (Arjo Wiggins), Suede Dark Brown (Prism) and Winter Wonderland (Terri Conrad Designs)
Ink: Chocolate Brilliance Pearlescent (Tsukineko)
Accs: Rub Ons (Cosmo Cricket), Ribbon (Stampin’ Up!) and Brad (Paper Studio)

Taylor’s Challenge: Western Hello

Posted on September 7, 2008 | 25 comments

Can you hear me cheering? My friend Taylor gave wings to a dream this week and released her very own stamp line. Her vision, her research, her patience and planning….it’s all paid off, and cupcake lovers and card makers everywhere will reap the benefits, calories not included! You can see her darling sets, released this past Friday, HERE. I knew I’d participate in Taylor’s cupcake card challenge this weekend, and while I’m waiting for my stamps to arrive, I needed a masculine card without a bunch of fluffy girl stuff.

This paper is from Flair Designs, I snagged it up because it has the state song of my home state collaged into the design. I accented the sheet music with stamps from For the Men and Time to Stamp – Rummage Bin sets from CHF. I aged the music using the Burnt Edge Distress Ink technique.

I’m still still working on that craft room – I actually took a picture mid-day yesterday – Words cannot describe, and until I get it orderly, I’m too embarrassed to show you! LOL! So, wish me continued sorting and organization success.

Autumn Moon Tin

Posted on September 5, 2008 | 8 comments

I pulled the plug on card number 2 from this morning, so I thought I’d share this tin that I altered this summer. My girlfriend, Debbie, brought me the old tin that originally held Equal sugar packets and said, ‘do something with this! I can’t throw it away!’

Jenn is always making these ‘scrappy stuff’ cards that are darling. I thought I’d give it a try last night..LOL! Not sure I’ll try that again! This is the October Afternoon paper and die cut sticker kit. I assure you I have no stock in them, just love their stuff. This will be a quick little ‘house warming’ card.
