Happy Harvest

I thought this would be a good time to show you some pictures of us in Julian, Ca, apple picking. It was a little warm but a beautiful day with tons of small, ripe yummy apples to pick! Everyone had a good time and Tyler loved eating the apples right off the tree.

This is another Paper Trey Ink Vintage picnic card. The DP is retired SU with sage shadow and more mustard. The basket is paperpieced and the pumpkins are colored in with copics. Makes me want to go out and pick something! Happy Harvest.

Today's card uses the SU stamp set A Little Somethin' - it was a level 2 hostess set from last year and is now retired. The dp is razzleberry lemonade and I also the in-colors melon mambo and crushed curry. The ribbon is crushed curry. I stamped the image in melom mambo and used my in-color crushed curry marker to color it. When I make a card like this, I find that I really do like these in-colors!

Belated Post - the winner

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I missed posting the winner. I have been so busy at work, just tons of stuff going on and then I come home and I'm exhausted. Tomorrow evening is Back to School Night so I won't get home until 9:00. I live far from work so I stay all day so I won't even see my babies tomorrow! Also, Ty's birthday is on Saturday so we're having a little party. Robert has Friday off, so he's taking Tyler to do something fun so I had to make cupcakes tonight for him to take to Tyler's school tomorrow!

Anyhow, the winner is Cheryl! Please email me with your information! Talk to you all soon.

End of summer strawberries

Today's card features very similar elements from my last card. I used vintage picnic from Paper Trey Ink as well as K&Co. dp. The base cardstock is kraft and I paperpieced the picnic basket. The ribbon is SU and the button is from PTI. I think the nestabilities are label 1 but they might be label 2. It's a very simple card, soft and pretty.

Snail Mail

This card uses the fabulous vintage picnic stamp set from Paper Trey Ink. The dp is from my stash but I think that it might by K&Co. The coloring is done with copics. The ribbon is SU and the paper flower is a prima. It looks very spring like but I figured it worked since strawberries can still be found here and there in our markets being a yummy summer fruit!

Pretty in-colors

Today, I am using one of my favorite stamp sets, Great Friend alongwith in-colors melon mambo, rich razzleberry and crushed curry. The dp is razzleberry lemonade. I punched a circle through my dp and crushed curry cardstock. The razzleberry circle and sentiment are actually on the inside of the card. It looks pretty cool in real life. I think the card came out pretty snazzy. The awesome polka dot ribbon helps a lot too!

Back to School

I used a similiar layout as yesterday along with the same Teacher's Pet papers from Imaginince. However, the stamps are from MFT's Back to School stamp set. The chalkboard was stamped in graphite brilliance black ink and the words were then stamped in craft white. I think it really looks like a chalkboard! I think that I will have Tyler give this card to his teacher with a little treat. It's always nice to start the year off right...buttering up the teacher! Hope you all have a great day!

Celebrate a teacher

I just think this Teacher's Pet paper from Imaginince is so fun! The stamp set is from PaperTrey Ink and I used Riding Hood Red and kiwi kiss. I think the layout is really fun too. The button is from my stash and the scallop edge has dots from my white gel pen. I hope that everyone has started the new school year off well. For me it's bittersweet. In a way it's great to be back and let's face it making some money cuz the summer is lonnng without a paycheck. But I miss my kidlets especially my little Lily who just became my little shadow. She's had a bit of a rough time being apart from me but luckily she has Tyler. The daycare lets him come over and comfort her when she's super unhappy...

Don't forget last day for blog candy here!

Teacher's Apple

This wonderful stamp set is from Paper Trey Ink. It comes with all kinds of pretty apples and parts so you can stamp your apple, stem and leave in different colors. The fonts are also really fabulous. I just love this layout! I am using Imaginince Teacher's Pet paper. The colors I used are riding hood red and kiwi kiss. The button is kiwi kiss. I don't know what I"m going to do when all of my kiwi kiss and riding hood red are gone! The base card is kraft and it works wonderfully with this paper!

Bella Beauty & Friday Blog Candy

Today's blog candy is this acrylix stamp set from CTMH. It was the August Stamp of the month and it's called It's Your Day. To win just leave a comment on this post and I will select a winner on Wednesday. If you are a subscriber, you may leave two comments.

You know how sometimes you really want a stamp set? I really wanted this Bella Blossom stamp set even though it was set to retire. I bought it anyway and it did not disappoint. It really is a pretty stamp set. I used kiwi kiss and razzleberry, along with razzleberry lemonade dp and crushed curry and razzleberry cardstock. I have seen posts where some people think crushed curry is just hideous. I will admit that I absolutely loved last year's in-colors but these new ones are growing on me. They have really gotten me to use colors that I wouldn't normally use and to use completely different color combos. Sometimes it's nice to get outside of your comfort zone! The middle piece of the flower was stamped again and cut out for dimension. I am so happy with this card!

Welcome Back

In celebration of the beginning of school, I have a couple of school related cards. This card uses a wonderful paper from Imaginince. The stamps are from MFT's Back to School set. I stamped the chalkboard in Graphite Brilliance black and the lettering in craft white. I think that itreally looks like writing on a chalkboard. All of the images were colored in using copics. Just a fun back to school card.
