Scrappy and Stampy haul

Hi Stampers!!

When given an opportunity, like most girls, I love to shop! I did two seperate purchases online last week and both of them arrived today.

I also have a fairly large order from I am roses on the way. I love their flowers!

Please stay tuned tomorrow for updated house, fence and deck projects, everything is finally coming together. Our puppies are looking like they may just like having a fenced in yard.

Here is a trivia question for you, did you guys know I have not had a fenced yard since I was a little girl? The fence just looks fantastic.

Have a great day, now, honestly, I’m going to clean up my stampy scrappy mess! Stamp Happy!

A beautiful Magnolia card for my Senior Friend

I am in a huge magnolia mood today.

I wanted to keep the image soft and subtle and used a technique from YouTube for doing the “sidewalk” under the girl. It looks like she is sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet in the cool water.

I will be sending this to my senior angel friend, Ms.Vivian. I hope it will remind her of summer and how much fun it can be to splash around.

Speaking of pool, I’m looking forward to getting some pool time in this week and next weekend. Hopefully our rear fence will go in tomorrow or Wednesday and I can go ahead and have our carpets cleaned and give the house an old fashioned good scrub down.

Mind you the house is not that dirty, but the construction has taken a tool on the carpets leaving dirt stains in hallways and by doors. I also need to dust and just want to wait until I don’t have people tromping in and out of the house.

Mike has been busy in this nearly 100% humidity 89* heat staining and sealing the back deck and applying the new lattice to the underside. I am amazed at how nice it is coming together. I so appreciate his strength and determination to get the job done.

Have a great week, Happy Memorial Day!

Queen Kat on Tuesday, Desk caddy written tutorial

Once again Queen Kat does not disappoint with her beautiful stamps! Maigan lynn outdid herself when she drew up this beautiful lady.

She reminds me of a brides maid and with my Step -sons wedding in just under a year, I’m starting to think of favors I can do to help the couple out.

This would certainly make a beautiful brides maid gift!

You will need:
Acrylic photo frame (3 1/2″X5″)
Small calendar
Stamped Image
patterned paper
flowers, glue, ink adhesive

Stamp image onto white card stock and color with your preferred medium. Sponge the edges and attach the focal image to a coordinating card stock. Sponge these edges as well. Add stickles and the butterfly.

Randomly stamp swirls onto 3 1/2X5″ patterned paper, sponge edges and insert inside where the photo would normally go. Stamp swirleys onto another 3 1/2″ X 5″ card stock, attach flower (for the pull) and the calendar. Sponge all edges. Attach the flowers on the photo frame using EG6000 adhesive. Use Redliner tape for attaching the note pad.

The entire project took me under 10 minutes to complete. Don’t forget to visit Queen Kat for these and other wonderful stamps! Stamp happy and be a blessing!

Large altered Photo frame

My hubby thinks this is busy, I think its great. Now that I’ve got the basic idea worked out in my head, I plan to make more, personalize them and give them to friends/family.

Can’t you see this even more 3D with a large popped out focal image? I used a CTMH paper pack called “Sophia” as the base, partnered it with some textured green card stock. It is all spoonged with pink ink. I used Aileens 7800 adhesive to attach all the dimensional flowers. They are from Recollections and Iamroses.

Stamp happy, have a great weekend! Is there anyone that would be interested in doing these as a swap?

LSH Mini Album Swap

What a wonderful Mail day!

I received this wonderful package from MC Graves as part of our one on one mini album swap at Little scrap of Heaven.

I had such a great time not only getting goodies together for her and making a mini to send, but we developed a nice on-line friendship and it is just so fun to get all these wonderful goodies!

Above is a slide show of all the wonderful goodness that was in my package. I actually thought this was an order of stamps I made last week, I was so thrilled when I realized the package was from MC I actually squealed.

It was like Christmas opening all the fun little bags filled up with fun stuff.

Have a great day, Stamp Happy!
