Patriotic Altered Clip board — don’t forget about blog candy!

Hello my crafty fun friends!

What a great few days! Sunday and today I was able to get some house work and laundry finished up. Hey, I had to get my chores done so I could grab some fun stamping time.

****

The image on the altered clipboard is from House Mouse. I used my copic markers to color the image. The clipboard was purchased from my local craft store. I used patriotic themed scrapbook paper. Before applying the paper, I used Red acrylic paint to paint the clipboard then once it was dry used a home made decoupage medium to apply the paper. I carefully removed bubbles using a bone folder.

*****

Don’t forget $25.00 is the first item of blog candy this month, leave your comments on my blog any where you would like. I will certainly be adding to this pot as we play along!

My Airman, Craig will be the recipient of the altered clip board, he has requested a new ‘goody‘ box from mom. I guess it is a good thing he enjoys getting stamped cards and goody. I’ve almost finished his box. Hopefully everything will be totally dry and ready to mail tomorrow.

Have a great night and Stamp Happy my friends!

Mini SBS swap card

Hello Stampers!

***

I kept the layout and coloring of this card simple. It is for a mini shoe box swap on August 15.

***

The basic recipe is: Black card stock base is 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ folded. The mossy green card stock which I ran through my big shot measures it measures 4″ X 5 1/4″

***

The image is layered on top of gran and yellow card stock and is sponged around the edges. I used my copic markers, C1,C2,C3,C4 and BV13 to color the image. The sentiment is stamped on top of a scallop that measures 1 3/8″. The scallop piece is popped up with pop dots and the card is embellished with stiched green ribbon.

I hope you are all staying cool! Please be safe, and stamp happy!

Altered clipoard for Ms. Vivian

Hello to my crafty friends!

Now that I am some what recovered from my adventures at the pizza place yesterday, I am into some stamping fun.

I started this project with a store bought wooden clipboard. I used papers from Cosmo Cricket to decorate the front and back. The large flower is a Prima flower purchased during the fun Amish stamp store tour.

My favorite part of the project is the ribbon I used for embellishment. It adds a fun whimsy to the project. I will be sending this to Ms. Vivian. I get the privilege of being her senior angel!

Blog candy will begin again soon with a fall/Halloween theme. I hope you’ll stop by again soon to see what I’ve been up too!

Stamp Happy!

At Great risk to life and limb — Meade Grils Party On!

Hello Everyone!

***

I attended a Birthday party for Tracy, Amanda and Michelle today at our local CiCi’s pizza place. Chad my youngest joined me. I was able to meet some more local stampers and have a wonderful time!

***

I didn’t think we could have been any louder or laughed harder if we tried. They stuck us in a far corner of the restaurant. The manager had everyone sing “Happy Birthday” to all three girls at separate times. It was hilarious.

***

I especially loved the birthday girl’s head dresses. My favorite was the ribbon one.

***

I am sure there will be some funny pictures of me (mostly chewing) on this blog. I hope they will share the files with me, I would love to have a few pictures for my personal scrapbook.

Stamp Happy!
