A Heartfelt Thanks

2012-01-18T07:34:00.001-08:00

A happy, snowy Wednesday to you. It's been a long time since I have posted anything on my Blog. I thought it was time that I did so. I made this Quilted Heart card for my mother-in-law "Sharron" as a Thank-you to her, for helping me finish my "Tyler Quilt". I have been working on this quilt for over two years now.
The sentiment is from Stampin-Up's "Quilt Quip" set. The faux stitched triangle and squares on the heart quilt are from Clear Dollar Stamps "Build a Quilt" set. I saw this gorgeous Scrap Quilt card by Lisa Lara and I new I wanted to purchase the Build a Quilt set.

I used this weeks colour challenge from Splitcoast Stampers as my colour combination (Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red and neutrals of choice -white, vanilla, brown or black)

MMTPT156, Home Sweet Home

2011-07-27T20:30:00.000-07:00

Hello, it's been a while since I have posted on my blog. Life has been very busy these days, but I wanted to share this sweet House Mouse card with you. I made it for a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers - Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT156. This card will be sent to one of the teapotters - for the last challenge of the month our cards get sent to another SCS teapotter participant. I purchased this House Mouse stamp at a garage sale last year - it is the first time I have inked it up - I love how it turned out - and will be making more of these cards. It is a fairly large stamp, and has a lot going on - so I didn't want to use any busy background papers. I cut out the image with the largest of this nesty shape and coloured the edges of the die cut with a dark brown marker. Image was coloured with Tombow and Stampin Up markers. Added stickles to the lollie pops and gumdrops. Applied liquid pearls to the frosting. Added the ribbon tabs at the top and I cut a bamboo skewer for the wall hanging rod. I love how this turned out.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy stamping and creating,

Hugs Pat

Smile - it's a beautiful Thing

2011-05-25T12:46:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love this "Mother Teresa" quote. I used the quote as my focal point on my cards.
The Free 4 All challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers was to do just that - use the sentiment as the focal point. The technique challenge was to make Paper Buttons (faux buttons) which I used on both of my cards and the Clean and Simple challenge was "a Gift" - as Mother Teresa said - a smile is a gift of LOVE.

Vintage Truck on Route 66

2011-03-27T13:03:00.000-07:00

Happy Sunday every... Here is a card I made earlier in the week for Mothermarks Teapot Tuesday challenge - "Are you outta your gourd - I ordered a Ford".

Our destination for our cards this week is Brampton, Ontario - to "Kim" - he is the cousin of fellow Splitcoast Stamper - teapotter "Laurie" (Virigo05) - he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones and he is only 41 years old. We are hoping our cards will bring a little joy to him. He loves Fords, hockey, football, steaks etc.

As I work at a Ford dealership (Steve Marshall Ford) and Kim is the chairman of Local 584 at the Ford Company I just had to bring Kim a vintage Ford truck. While driving along Route 66 my DH and I stopped at Hackberry General Store and saw this vintage truck parked in front of an old garage. I tried to recreate this scene but omitted all the signs from the garage so that the old truck would stand out. I hand drew the garage and I quite pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Stamping and Creating,

Woo Hoo..... my dear Hubby, Rob, and I stopped in to visit Pat and Bubba Smethers on our Holidays. We had a most wonderful visit with them - Rob and Bubba had a great time - they have a lot in common - so had lots to talk about. Pat and I - stamped and talked about our families and new grandchildren. Rob and I visited Pat and Bubba two years ago and hit it off so well = we feel just like family - right, Sistah...

Pat told me about the next Twisted sisters challenge - it was to use chickens on your card. This is what I made while visiting with Pat. Don't you just love this fun chicken image. I call it

This week over at Splitcoast Stampers Bev Barton was crowned "Queen for the Day". My grand daughter, Nico, was have a sleep over and wanted to make a Valentine's Day card for her Mommy and Daddy. Here is Bev's adorable card that we cased called "Cupid". Nico picked out the fun "Hogs and Kisses" stamp and the colours. She coloured the image by herself using Gramma's special markers. She cuttlebugged the pink panel with the heart folder, she crimped the pink middle panel. Cut out the nesty scalloped rectangle and with Gramma's help she sewed the card and made sure her fingers didn't get in the way of the needle :)
She found the little red hearts on my stamping table and wanted to use them on the card. She glued them down and added Stickles to the three little hearts and the big heart one of the pigs is holding. She gave the card to her Mommy when she was picked up this afternoon - was her Mommy ever happy and proud of the card Nico made for her... :)

I cased this "Party Chick" card of Bev's. I loved the image and layout of her card. I didn't have her fancy lady, but I did have this fun Bugaboo Stella Sews image already coloured and ready to use. My SCS sister Pat Smethers sent me this hilarious sentiment in a birthday card. The designer paper is from a Martha Stewart 12x12 pack.

I need less commitments and I am sure most of you will understand where I am coming from. I will continue to play in the Totally Stampalicious challenges when I can come and visit you in Blogland..

When Life throws you Scraps

2011-01-26T19:24:00.000-08:00

Hello... just wanted to show you this fun quilt designed card I made for yesterday's colour challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. Challenge colours - soft suede, elegant eggplant, riding hood red, neutrals - ivory, white or black. My fun Stella image is from Bugaboo Stamps, this one is from the Stella Sewing digital images. I coloured the image with Tombow and Stampin up markers. I cut out 3 different designer papers in 1" squares and stuck them down on a piece of card stock. Used the Topnote die for the shape. Sewed all designer papers together with zig zag stitch. Sponged edges with Stazon Violet. Matted image with purple card stock and sewed around image. Sewed on the three buttons. Stamped the sentiment (from Stampin Ups Quilt Quips set) on the soft suede card stock and then ran it through the Cuttlebug with Divine swirl folder. Matted with purple. I tore a strip of purple card stock and taped it to the bottom of the card - I had stamped the sentiment up to far and it didn't look right. So I felt that it needed something at the bottom to even it out. I am very pleased with how this turned out.

Thanks for stopping in,

Teapot Tuesday Baby Shower

2011-01-25T08:43:00.000-08:00

Happy Tuesday everyone.... Well it's time for another fun Splitcoast Stampers Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT130. Cindy (aka Mothermark) is throwing a baby shower for my twin grandbabies who were born January 6th.

It's Pink and it's Blue!

It's all about Two!

Throw a monkey in there two!

Oh my goodnes, who knew!

One sweet little girl (Sydney) and one handsome little man (Austin). The picture at the very top is of their big sister, Kayla, holding her adorable little sister and brother. Isn't she just the proudest big sister you ever saw.

Below are the Easel card cards I made for the Grandbabies. It took me soooo long to make these. I was busy designing when I should have been sleeping, trying to figure out how to make the lamp shade, and then putting it all together was fun too. Plus it took a while to get a fairly decent picture. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

The Sock Monkey images are from Bugaboo Stamps. The one above is called "Sock Monkey Girl Sitting" and the one below is called "My little Sock Monkey car"

Thanks for popping in,

Happy stamping and creating,

Stampalicious Colour Challenge

2011-01-23T20:49:00.000-08:00

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge - this week our challenge to you is to use "red and pink" on your card or project. Here is my take on the challenge. I used "Stampalicious Scarlette"
and one of the sentiments from this Promotional set.

I stamped the image with versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed. Water coloured image using Tombow markers. The dark red dp is dry embossed with hearts. The polka dot and flower dp is from My Minds Eye - Quite Contrary line. Both of these panels were dry embossed, one with Swiss Dot folder and the other with Polka dot folder. I scored vertical lines on the pink panel behind Scarlette - to look like wall paneling. Stamped the sentiment on Vellum with Stazon jet black ink, punched out with oval punch. Sponged all edges with Regal Rose ink. Matted panels with black card stock. All edges were stitched. Added the scalloped edge to the image panel, the photo corner, flower rhinestone and Stickles. Image panel and Scarlette are popped up. Finished the inside of the card.

Make sure to head on over to the Totally Stampalicous blog to see what the other DT members have come up with to inspire you. Upload your card to your blog or gallery on Mr. Linky so we can come and see your project. Remember Totally Stampalicious is still looking for guest designers, they are choosing them only from those who enter the TS challenges.

Splitcoast Stamper challenge cards

2011-01-02T11:18:00.000-08:00

Hello peeps... it is another gorgeous day in the neighbourhood. Had a wonderful walk around Buttertubs Marsh yesterday and will be heading outside to enjoy some more sunny, cold weather.
I had to play in one of my favourite Splitcoast Stamper challenges today and also made a card for yesterday's Inspiration challenge.

Marisa (aka WhiteRockMama) is today's featured stamper. She makes beautiful, clean cards and she loves her flowers and butterflies. I cased this lovely card. I kept the same theme and similar layout and colours. I used different stamps from three Stampin Up sets (sentiment is from "Well Scripted" , Flower is from "Delight in Life" and the leafs are from "In Full Bloom".

The card below is for Splitcoast Stampers inspiration challenge #IC265. I was inspired by these coaster plates from Neest. I used stamps from three different Stampin Up stamp sets. Well Scripted, In Full Bloom and Spring Solitude.

Thanks for stopping in,

Happy New Year,

Hugs. Pat

A red hat for Joyce

2011-01-01T17:34:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope you had a fabulous New Years. My DH and I went for a beautiful walk today around a lovely Bird Sanctuary. I took several pictures with my new Digital SLR camera :)

I made this card for the challenge over at Totally Stampalicious "Recycle it". The flower and the red leaves are from recycled items. The flower was punched out three times using a Cuttlebug flower die - once from a plastic coffee can lid and twice from Christmas tissue paper (from one of my gifts) - the red leaves are from Christmas wrapping paper (from a gift). The image I used is from Totally Stampalicious - Bugaboo line called "Red Hat Stella".

This card is also for two challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers - sketch challenge #SC312 and
for Mothermarks Teapot Tuesday challenge #MMTPT126. Once of our fellow SCS (jjai) has had cancer for 13 years, recently had surgery for her cancer and now is suffering Stroke like side effects. Joyce is a Red Hat Society Lady - we are sending her Red Hat themed cards to help cheer her up and show our love and support.

Stampalicious - Recycle challenge

2010-12-26T18:29:00.000-08:00

Happy Boxing Day everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.

Today's challenge over at Totally Stampalicious is to recycle it - find something that is laying around the house or even pull it out of the trash "ewwww" and use it on your card or project.
I used a piece of cardboard that one of my Christmas gifts came in and the wheels on Gus's new truck are from tags that came on some clothing I purchased. The image and sentiment are from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line - called New Truck Gus.

This is also for the featured stamper challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. I cased this cute card of Leisa Janes.

I hope you will join us over at Totally Stampalicious - make sure to up load your card/project on Mr. Linky. We would love to see what you made.

Totally Stampalicious - It's all FAUX fun

2010-12-20T06:32:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas -I hope you are better prepared for Christmas than I am - I have been running around in circles for days. Each year I seem to be more and more disorganized than ever. I am very pleased with myself - I did manage to get a big project finished yesterday with some help from my DH. We made Calendars for our parents - using assorted pictures from our Spain trip. Anyways - enough of that. Onto today's fun challenge at TS.

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious challenge - this week we have been asked to "FAKE IT" (ie: faux stitching, faux brads, faux metal, faux wood, faux linen etc). I used the "faux stitching" and "faux brad" techniques on my card. The "Snowmen" are from the Totally Stampalicious "Snowmen" set. I stamped the snowman once, masked it, and then stamped snowmen again. I stamped the scarfs on a textured acrylic paper and coloured with Stampin Up "more mustard" and "soft suede" markers. Pierced holes and attached the mini black brads. Faux stitched around image. I cut a strip of Kraft card stock and scored lines every 1/4 inch. Rubbed chocolate chip ink over raised ridges. Matted all panels with gemstone black card stock. Attached the Faux brads with pop dots. Used a felt Dollar Store snowflake, added Dazzling Diamonds to the snowflake, their Halo"s, the ground and some to the sky (falling snowflakes). Designer paper is from K&Company - Yuletide mat pack.

Check out what the other TS DT members have come up with to inspire you. If you make a card/project make sure to upload it to Mr. Linky from you Blog or Gallery.

This card will also work for a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers - the Technique challenge TLC304, issued by Joan Ervin - to do Faux or Real stitching on your card.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hugs.. Patricia Rose

Oh Christmas Tree

2010-12-19T20:49:00.000-08:00

Happy Sunday everyone.... Time is sure flying by -- only 6 more sleeps until Christmas. I am running around in circles -- trying to get everything ready. Still trying to get the last of my Christmas card finished, only a few more to go.

I made this cute House Mouse card for several challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers. The featured stamper challenge is one of my favourite challenges. Mary Rose (aka maryrose) has the honour this week. I chose to case this cute CAS card "Mackinac Inspired". I loved the layout and her awesome colouring.

This is also for the Ways to Use it #WT301 - use glitter/sparkle, the Technique challenge TLC304 - faux or real sewing and for this months Fan Club theme - be inspired by music -
"Oh Christmas Tree"

I used this adorable House Mouse image called "Mice Star". I coloured the image with water colour pencil crayons and reinkers. Water coloured over the image again using Champagne Shimmer paint. Added Diamond Stickles to the felt snowflake and to every other snowflake on the K&Company Yuletide Designer paper.

House Mouse Gift Tags

2010-12-14T08:50:00.000-08:00

Hello Peeps.... I made 4 sets of eight House Mouse tags to give to some girlfriends tonight. These girlfriends and I have known each other for about 45 years - we played on the same fastball team since we were 8 - 9 years old (I played ball for 35 years and some of the girls are still playing) and have kept in touch all these years. We meet every couple of months for dinner and to get caught up on each others lives. Tonight we are having a dinner and gift exchange - we were to make our gift or to purchase something that was handmade and under $10.00. I thought a set of gift tags would be perfect for the gift exchange -- hope the girls like them.

Thanks for looking,
Hugs.. Pat

Stampalicious challenge - Clean and Simple

2010-12-13T08:23:00.000-08:00

Happy Monday everyone - it's time for another Totally Stampalicous challenge. We know that most of you are very busy at this time of year, so we are keeping it simple this week. We want to see your CLEAN AND SIMPLE cards. Which means to keep your layers and embellishments down to a minimum ( I find this very hard to do), often leaving lots of "White" space.

For the card above I used "Christmas JJ". I love this cute stamp set - it comes with two image an sentiments.

For the card below I used "New Truck Gus". I love the set as well - it comes with four humours sentiments and the one image - it is very easy to colour, and makes for some very fun masculine cards.

I stamped both of the images with Versafine Onyx black ink and clear embossed. Water coloured images. With the New Truck Gus card, I masked the image and then sponged in the sky and ground.

I hope you will come and join us over at Totally Stampalicious - check out what the other DT members have come up with to inspire you. If you join us - make sure to upload your card to Mr. Linky to your blog or gallery.

Also - Totally Stampalicious is on the lookout for Guest Designers and they'll be making their selection from all the people that play in the challenges.

My "New Truck Gus" card also works for the Technique Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers
#TLC303 - sponging.

2010-12-12T10:37:00.000-08:00

Happy Sunday everyone... Here is a card I made for one of my favourite challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers - the Featured Stamper challenge. Today Lisa (aka LisaADD) has been given this honour. I chose to case this CAS Christmas card called " Just a little Christmas Note". I love Chickadee's - we have them feeding in our backyard feeders right now.

This bird image is from "My Heart Stamps for You" - Plate #162. I water coloured them image, clear embossed the ornament and added Diamond Stickles to the snow. I dotted the bg with glue and applied the glitter for falling snow. Matted image and white base panel with chocolate chip. Sewed edges with brown thread. Stamped sentiment with versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed. Image panel is popped up. This was a fairly quick card for me to make :)

Happy Tuesday everyone.... We are having a very wet, windy day here on the west coast... It is another inside day today, I am hoping to get more of my Christmas cards done and mailed out and possibly start some Christmas baking.

Here is a card I made for several challenges - Mothermark's Teapot challenge #MMTPT123, Splitcoast Stampers colour challenge #300 - and we are to pick one of the previous challenges - I chose CC245 - Always artichoke, real red and chocolate chip - my desert option is "charms".

This sweet image is from Stampabilities - House Mouse - Peppermint Pals. Image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed on water colour paper. I coloured the image with water colour pencil crayons - I painted the image with Stampin Up champagne shimmer mist to give it a shimmer. I used Stampin Up crystal effects on the peppermint candies. .

Wrap It Up - Stampalicious Style

2010-12-05T20:45:00.000-08:00

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge. It's Christmas time and that means (for most of us crafters anyways) that we are scrambling to get those last-minute hand-made gifts done. So now is your chance. Today we have been asked to "Wrap it Up"- to make a gift box, bag topper, gift basket - what ever you are putting a gift in.

Here is my take on the challenge. I wrapped up a tin of yummy English Toffee Cappuchinno hot beverage drink mix. The image and sentiment are from the "Attitude Ruby" set - a newly released stamp set in the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo Line.

I stamped the image using Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed. Water coloured image with Tombow Markers. Made it into a tag. Punched out the flowers using a Sizzex flower die, embossed the flowers with Swiss Dot EF. Stamped the sentiment and punched it out. Glued it to the flower center.

I hope you will join us over at the TS Blog. Check out what the other talented DT members have come up with to inspire you. If you do join us, make sure to leave us a link to your blog or gallery on Mr. Linky....

Happy Sunday Everyone.... I wanted to share this card with you... I made it for a couple of Splitcoast Stamper challenges. I used last weeks sketch layout #SC309 and today's featured stamper challenge - #FS200 - A time for reflection. We were to choose a previous Featured stamper from the past 199 FS's. Preferably one that we had not cased before. I chose to case FS#190 - Sallie (aka hobbydujour). This is the card I cased - called "Vintage Santa". The Santa image is from Inkadinkado.

I stamped the image with Versafine Vintage Sepia and clear embossed. Only coloured Santa's cheeks with a Tombow Marker.
