Very Large altered message center project

Lots of great pictures of the different aspects of this VERY Large project!

Hello Stampers and Friends!

A quick trip out to AC moore produced this wonderful project.

I am going to participate in a shoe box swap in the local area on Saturday. After much dilberation, I finally came up with my card design. I finished it up this afternoon.

My husband has been wanting to visit a local music store, so I tagged along and went to the AC Moore store. I found this HUGE wood clipboard there for $9.99.

I came home and used some of my decorative papers to acent it. It was first sprayed (1/2 way) with a chalkboard paint. I used a glue mixture to attach the papers and other embellishments are attached with E6000 glue. It took me about 4 hours to get to the point you see it now. I just need to finish off the back.

The stamps are from Recollections and are sold at the Michael’s craft stores, it is embellished with stickles. Yes those are shrink plastic flowers on the thumb tacks, I used water color pencils to color the images and cut them out and shrank them according to the manufacture directions.

If you have any questions regarding this project, just drop me an email!

Stamp Happy!

A pretty altered clipboard

Hello my Crafty Friends!

Sorry that I haven’t posted much in the last few weeks.
****
My husband spent eight days in Germany and I mostly enjoyed some down time doing a few stamping projects. Catching up on some of the heavier house work and enjoying time with Chad.
***
This last week Chad brought home the nasty cold bug. Of course he did very well and other than some nasty coughing has felt fine. Mike and I. Not so much. It has been over a week now and I still have congestion. I am so ready to be done with this cold!
***
Craig continues to do well. When he called us today, he is requesting a new goody package to include some of the DVD movies that he left here. At the rate he is going I’ll mail his room to him piece by piece.
***
I hope you are all starting to enjoy the weather beginning to dance into the beautiful colors of fall.***

Stamp happy!

Wishing you a Zooriffic Birthday!

Maybe this will be my “lucky” card. I am doing this card as part of a Maryland girls challenge. I used a stamp set from Recollections clear “Zoo” set and paper pieced the lion together. I stamped him on a 65# weight light brown textured card stock three times.
**
I three dimensioned out his head and nose. I used copic markers to color the image. He is stacked on top of a Carmel card base with layers of chocolate (5 1/4″ X 4″) and pink (5″ X 3 3/4″) which I sent through my ‘leaf’ cuttlebug embossing folder.

**
The sentiment was stamped on the same paper as the lion and layered onto the chocolate piece. The lion sits a top a circle die which he is also 3D.

Have a great remainder of your Sunday. Stamp Happy my friends!

Spinning crazy!

Merry Christmas?!

I have so been in the mood for spinner cards! Christmas is just three and a half months (short months) away. I was thinking of doing spinner cards for select family members.

Here is what I came up with. For the Santa and snowman spinners I used Studio G holiday clear stamps. Stamped with memento black ink and colored the image with copic markers. The snow man does not have arms, so I free handed some on.

Both Santa and the snowmen have a 3D hat. I used liquid applique for the ‘fur’ and glitter to add sparkle. The sparkle paper can be found on the children’s craft isle. It is crayola paper. Some of it is even self adhesive. Nice!

Linda, if you are reading this your package is almost ready to go postal, thank you for responding so quickly. I hope you’ll let me know when the blog candy arrives and of course, I hope you enjoy the goodies!

Have a great weekend, I know I will! Stamp Happy my friends!

Happy blog anniversary to me the winner of blog candy is…..

Hello Stampers! Don’t you just love this card? I used my nestabilities for all of the layers. The main die is thenew label die and the circle is just the circle nestabilities die.

I stamped the bug fly onto a transparency and cut it out, colored with copic markers and attached it together using my crystal lacquer.

Please pardon any spelling and other errors on this post, my dog Lexie has taken up residence in my lap and refuses to move. She is so sweet. With my husband out on business I think she gets lonely.

On a side note, thank you so much everyone for your questions and comments about the boys. Craig continues to do fantastic at technical school in Mississippi and Chad has started out the school year wonderfully. He is also been very helpful around here. I’ve appreciated the help with the house hold chores.

If you are wondering, yes I forgot today was the 9th, and this post is going to be published on the 10th, but since I had already drawn the candy, I decided to just wait and republish this post.

Don’t worry my followers, I will be posting blog candy again soon! I hope you will come back and visit just because you want too!

Ok here is the announcement:
