Welcome

Hello Friends!

I'm up today on the Technique Junkies blog, and am sharing a pretty home decor item that I made, using beautiful new stamps, Zen Edges and Welcome, from the March release. 

Today, I chose to make a piece to put into a photo frame. 

I stamped the image and sentiment onto a piece of patterned paper, and edged the sentiment with narrow gold Washi Tape. I ahered a strip of a pretty gold tissue type paper at the top and bottom edges of the focal panel, added some sequins, and framed the finished piece.

Here's what I made:

I think this will look pretty in my entryway!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge at The House that Stamps Built

Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

  

I chose to work with the middle row - Paper Piecing, Patterned Paper, and Anything But A Card.

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

9307-L Dress Form

9318-B Spool of Thread

9314-E Sew Special

I decided to create an open top box for some nugget candies, and a little tag.

Here's my creations:

Now it’s your turn! Create something using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

Check out my sidebar to see how you can save money on your RI orders!

AND...last but not least ...

NOTICE:

Repeat Impressions is clearing out their show inventory. So while they last,
they have very limited quantities of 100's of designs of Wood Mount Stamps available - Priced less than their cling mount stamps!

Inventory will be added and updated daily so check back often for design availability. Priced as shown, no coupon code needed. As show stock is depleted the various wood mount stamps will return to their regular prices so get them before they're gone.

Now, it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have created!

Happy Hopping!

Hope you link up a card this week!

CardMaker Celebrate and Decorate, AND Born to be Wild!

Good morning, everyone!

I'm up again today on the CardMaker Magazine Blog!

My assignment for today was to create a non-card project for the

'Celebrate and Decorate' category.

My project celebrates sisters (especially mine!) and decorates her new apartment with a fun creation. I had a LOT of fun with this - hope you will pop over, check it out, and leave
some nice words in case dear sis reads the post - thanks!

*  *  *  *  *

Now, it's time for my Saturday post on the Great Impressions Stamps blog.
The new stamps are so much fun to create with - hope you like today's card...
I'm pretty sure this is me and my friend, Shirley. (She's the skinny one :)

I used these Great Impressions Stamps today:

C478 Wild
J117 Mable & Vera Cruzn'

I'm pretty sure that Shirley and I are headed to a stamp show in a neighboring state, and that we are in a bit of a hurry to shop before someone else gets all of the bargains - what do you think?
Loved creating with this one - sorry the photo is so bad. Hard to capture with all of the glare of the glossy parts!

Thanks for stopping by,

Patti J.

Time to Celebrate!

Hi there!

So, have you been following the Great Impressions blog this week?

All week long, our DT has been showcasing fun things for kids - each day has

had new inspiration of the non-card variety!

My project today, is to celebrate school being out for the summer.

What kid doesn't get excited to see that last day of school roll around?

I thought that was cause for celebration, and used Great Impressions Stamps

E-759 Time to Celebrate to create this fun candy tin for a young lady we know.

She loved it - hope you will enjoy it, too!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Don't forget about the GI challenge!

The theme for May is 'Celebrate Spring'.

You don't have to use GI stamps, but we'd love it if you did!

If you use GI stamps be sure to link up to the customer gallery HERE. 

Be sure to stop by the Great Impressions store HERE and treat yourself to a few new stamps!

Did you know shipping is free over $25?! 

Have a great weekend,

Patti J.
