Sunday, Sunday...

Sunday evenings are always so nice - the week a head is full of promise! For me, my son starts football season and that means practices every night, two hours long. Sometimes I walk laps and other times I read...and always look to catch his eye and give him a thumbs up as he checks to see if I'm watching.

I saw Diana Maldonado use this brilliant idea of cutting our DCWV Scalloped Stack into fourths for using on the front of a card. The pages are 8x8 so you can also fold them in half if you want to make a pretty long card. But this card is a stamp lift of her quick and easy idea...just the colors and images have been changed. I blended two different pink markers for a perfect match...

Card Materials: from The Angel Company

Stamps: Little Stinkers

Accessories: Kraft cardstock, black ribbon assortment, stickles, DCWV Scalloped Pack, cuttlebug dots

Card Patterns sketch...

I found another sketch challenge site...so this weekend I played around a bit to distract myself while I was waiting for my catalogs to arrive (UPS tracking number says they'll get here tomorrow!). I made these little flowers from a cuttlebug die and Martha Stewart crepe paper...later I discovered they matched our Miss Moxie paper perfectly! I really felt I was forcing the sketch, but after a couple of different attempts (and some last minute paper swaps!) I finally ended up with this and I really like it. I think it's close enough to the original idea to count!




Card Materials:
Stamps: Little Stinkers
Accessories: Miss Moxie Soar with it Collection and cardstock, buttons, CB die, white gel pen, BIC markers, ribbon

Hope you had a great weekend!

More Little Stinkers!

In my last post I asked, "which is your favorite Little Stinker?" There was one of the four that I didn't even cut out -- YET!! My mind was instantly changed when I saw this post at the main page of The Angel Company website, on Mischelle's blog called Savvy Projects.



We're off on a one day "adventure" trip...as a whole family! I'm so excited and hope to have some pictures to share when I return. Hope you getting to enjoy some family time too on this Spring/Easter break!

Who's your favorite...

Little Stinker? I love these guys and girls! Once again I turned to the Hero Arts blog for inspiration. The little "hill" is cut out of the recycled, inside paper of a roll of cookies (Hit cookies for my German friends!). I gave it a second layer, just the overalls, for even more dimension.

Card Materials:

Stamps: Little Stinkers

Paper: Kraft

Accessories: ribbon, black stickles, gel pen (eyes), staples, Martha Stewart crepe paper, CB flower die

Sorry for the short post today...Spring Break is in full swing here and I've got lots to do! Thanks for taking the time to stop by -- I really appreciate it!
