Mmmm...chocolate!

Happy Saturday!

I'm sure I'm not alone when I think of chocolate, and say 'Mmmmmm......'

Especially Ghirardelli chocolate!

I had some A Muse Studio Glassine Bags, Twine, and scraps of cardstock, so that's what I used!

The sentiment is an old Hero Arts - still love that set after all these years!

I had some just laying around tempting me terribly, so I decided to create another little

gift for the Sunday School class that I created for a few posts ago.  No...I did not make

coffee in their tea pot again, but they are all so sweet, I thought they needed a

sweet treat to brighten their day.  Hope they like them!

Thanks for stopping to look - have a wonderful weekend!

You are in my thoughts...

Hello!

What a perfect sentiment for a card that you just want to send 'just because'.

It's always nice to let someone special know that they are being thought of.

This card was created with a Stampendous 'Narcissus' stamp set.

The sentiment is a small Hero Arts stamp that I've had forEVER!

The flowers were stamped directly onto patterned paper, and fussy cut.

They were then glued onto a white oval.  Used my wonderful Perfect Papercrafting Tools for the perfect black mat (see sidebar for details!) Very nice, easy card!

Have a nice Wednesday!

Thanks for dropping by,

I'll be back on Friday with a great post!

Die-Versions is teaming up with Operation Write Home for a

blog hop that is FULL of fun and inspiration!

Hope to see you then,

Patti J.

Sharing in your sorrow...

Good morning!

Sympathy cards are the toughest for me to create.  Such a somber occasion, and difficult to find the right words.  So, when I found myself needing one last week, I decided that clean and simple was the way to go!

This is what I did...

The stamps are from Hero Arts, and worked out so well on this soft color of Amuse Studio cardstock.  I added a sentiment from one of Melanie Muenchinger's Gina K. Designs stamp sets, and a butterfly from Hero Arts to finish the card.  Of course, I used my Perfect Papercrafting tools for the beautiful layers!
Easy, fast, and pretty.

While I had all of the supplies out, I created a second card.

This one uses an Amuse Studio sentiment.

When you need to get something in the mail right away, a silhouette type stamp always works well.

Hope you are off to a nice weekend!

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

Thinking of You

Hello!  No baby news yet - will post as soon as we have something to report!

So, I'm pretty sure we woke up this morning in southern Florida, or Hawaii, instead of Missouri. We are quickly approaching 40 degrees, the birds are chirping, AND the sun peeked it's head out for a few minutes.  Loving it!

This card was made using a Hero Arts Flower stamp.  Again, this was created for a special order.  The embossing folder is a Stampin' Up! folder, the papers are Little Yellow Bicycle, and the coloring is Copics. Sentiment is Amuse Studios, and the twine is from my stash.

Of course, my mats were created with my Perfect Papercrafting Tools!  Check out my sidebar to see how you can get 5% off any order, and see videos showing how the tools work.

Hope you are all enjoying a day that is equally as pleasant as ours is today!  I'm off to do a bit of shopping, and then some walking.

Have a great Tuesday, and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Patti J.

A little of this - and a little of that

Happy Sunday!

Thought I'd say good morning to all, and post a card I made last week for a special order.

Hero Arts Stamps, Amuse Studio Pigment Inks - Finger Dauber.  Ink was sponged onto the stamp with the finger dauber, then stamped to card.  Sentiment was double stamped with two shades of pink.  A scrap of ribbon onto a Kraft base, and VOILA!  10 minute card!

Hope your weekend is good - Brrrr.......and that you are staying in and staying warm!

Thanks for dropping in today!

Hugs,

Butterfly Wishes...

Hello friends!

As always, after church, there is a need for cards. This week, we have a friend with a broken hip, and another who has been diagnosed with cancer.  So, this afternoon was spent doing some quick sponging and stamping.

This card uses Hero Arts Stamps - I just sponged with distress inks, and stamped with the darkest of the greens - peeled paint.  The inside sentiment says "that God will keep you in his care".

This is again stamped with Hero Arts stamps.  I inked the top butterfly with Memento Daffodil, the next with Stormy Sky Distress Ink, the next with Spun Sugar, and the last with Dusty Concord.  I pounced Rusty Hinge on the center and different spots with a small sponge dauber, and then stamped.

This is some very old stamps that I've had like, forever!!!

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs & smiles,

Patti J.

Hello Sunshine!

Hi there!

And hello sunshine!  After all of the dreary days we have had lately, the sun is a lovely change. The ice and snow are beginning to melt away, and I might even get the car down the driveway by mid week!

I have a card to share today that I created for my chemo lady.

Colorbok CS, Memory Box 'Meadow Birds' D1376, Hero Arts Sentiment, Satin Ribbon: Papermart, Embossing folder: Nellie's Choice HSF004 'Oval Frame 1' purchased from Joan's Gardens.

I liked the crispness of the black and white, with just the touch of blue.  Hope my lady likes it :)

Yesterday was the annual YMCA Women's Wellness Weekend.  Each year, I volunteer my time, and supplies, and teach lots of ladies to love what we all love!  We made some very cute things yesterday, and I hope it's okay that I share them here!

First is a card that totally CASED a layout by the uber-talented Monika Davis!  You can see her card HERE.  I didn't have the stamp that she used, so decided that the Memory Box stamp used above would work very well.  The ladies absolutely loved it, and were just beaming when they had created it all by themselves!  Here is the card:

Colorbok DP, Colorbok Black CS, Hammermill 110# white CS, Versafine Black Ink

 Next up on yesterday's agenda, was a corner bookmark.  This was easy peasy.  Followed a template that I purchased a LONG time ago from Donna at Butternut Sage Designs.  Just a basic triangle with a bit of funky trimming at the bottom, and the addition of a loop of ribbon, and a flower (theirs was much prettier, and about twice the size as mine) from Target's $1 bin.

Our next project was a post-it note holder.  I did not have a 'template' for this.  I just placed the post it on a rectangle of CS, and put score lines where score lines should go, decorated the panels, and added a velcro closure, and a computer generated initial.  Again, the ladies were very impressed with themselves!

Last, but certainly not least, was an Easter Basket, using an adorable pre-colored image from Doodle Pantry.  This was actually one of the very first projects that I ever made as a papercrafter.  I have no idea where the original template came from, but I found a pattern at Stamp TV in the Freebies section.  Theirs called for beginning with an 8" square, and 2.5" sides.  I adjusted this one to begin with a 7" square, with 2" sides, so that I wouldn't have to furnish quite as much chocolate :)

I think they were very pleased!

I had two workshops yesterday.  Each session created the same projects, so there were different ladies in each session.  The first session began at 2:00 p.m., and I was finished with first AND second sessions by 5:00 p.m.  Whew....I felt like I'd run a marathon!  The room was set up in a U shape, and the tables were about 10' apart, so if I helped on the left side of the room, and was needed on the right side of the room, I certainly got some much needed exercise!

Well, hope this wasn't too terribly boring!  Wanted to post before I got sidetracked and forgot!

Back to the drawing board.  Am working on some publication calls this afternoon...and then back to taxes tomorrow :(

Have a great evening,

Patti J.

Have a Fantastic Day!

Hello!

Hope you all had a great weekend. 

Ours was simply not long enough...

 I think that our weekend should be 5 days, and our work week 7.  

When they put me in charge, I'll be sure to fix that!

I needed a quick card for my chemo lady, and saw the challenge at Simon Says Stamp was to use black, white, and a splash of another color.  So...here is my black and white card!

Hero Arts: CG140 Poppy Background, Hero Arts CL578 Good Friends, Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink, Copic BG10, Hammermill 100# CS, Perfect Layers Rulers

Edited:  I'm so sorry that I didn't post directions for this card.  This was a 5.5 x 5.5 square card base of Hammermill 100# cardstock.  The image was stamped on a scrap of the Hammermill, and cut out, exactly on the black border.  I then matted on the teal, then adhered the panel to the card front.  The flowers were colored with Copic Marker BG10, and the image was stamped below.  Please feel free to email me if you need more info!

Used Perfect Layers Rulers for my borders (see sidebar for details).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great week!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Fall fun....

Hello, and Happy Monday!

I have a bit of 'fall fun' to share with you today.

First up is a card that I made for a challenge at The Outlawz.  

The CAS Challenge this week is to use limited fall colors.  

We were to choose 3 colors to use, from Red, Brown, Yellow, Green, and Orange.

Hero Arts: #K5574 Big Eyes, Amuse Ink: French Roast, Kaliedacolor Ink: used only orange, sorta blended the brown and orange for the leaves.

I used Brown, Orange, and Yellow for my card.

I sponged on the yellow, orange, and finally brown inks, directly onto the stamp, then turned the stamp over and stamped directly onto patterned paper from last year's DCWV Autumn Mat Stack Pad.

Using a Spellbinder's die, I cut out and embossed the owl, adhered it to my card front, and used a brown Sharpie marker to 'stitch' around the edges.

Looking at this on the screen, I think I will 'stitch' around this too - looks a bit bare :)

For the inside, I used the piece of DP that the owl was cut from, and just put some white CS behind it.

Now, onto project(s) two through thirty!

A couple of years ago, I had seen a Frankenstien like this on-line someplace.  I don't know if it was someone's blog, SCS, or in a magazine, but I sketched out the basics and stuck it in my notebook. So, I sincerely apologize for not being able to give rightful credit!  If you are the original creator of this cutie patootie, let me know, and I will edit this post immediately!

Anyway, I created thirty of these to send to my DD's workplace. Hopefully, they will brighten up the office for a day or two.  What's fun is that their office is so cool - their color is this bright green!  So Frankie will fit in just perfectly.

Hope your week is a good one! It's a beautiful, fall day, here in Missouri!

Thanks for stopping by,

Patti J.

Hello

Well, hello there!

Short post today, as I am packing a box for Afghanistan for dear SIL and his troops.  

Wanted to include a bit of fun today, so I decorated some Tic Tac boxes.  

Hero Arts "Hello", Copic Markers, Jillibean Soup Twine, Tic Tacs, Bless You stamp from Great Impressions, DP strip from Simple Stories.

These were so easy - just used a Hero Arts stamp and some Copic colors on Kraft CS on the outside, stamped a heartfelt sentiment for the inside, and ta-da!  Not my idea - found where I'd sketched this out on a piece of scratch paper eons ago, and don't have any source for the original idea. 

I am going to enter this in the challenge at A Blog Names Hero.  The challenge is "The Krafty Crafter" (use Kraft CS or colors), and I did!  Ironically, I've also used a Hero Arts stamp!  Don't you love it when that happens?

Off to tape up a box...

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Just Because...

Hi there!  

Today, while looking at Pam Sparks' beautiful creation, she mentioned the challenge at Tilda's Town.  It's been a while since I had time to join in a challenge.  I was excited to use my one and only Magnolia stamp, when I noticed that challenge #13 was "Shabby Chic".  EEKS!!!  Sorry, but I so, so, SO suck at Shabby Chic!  Hmmm....decided to do it anyway - no laughter allowed... (am also going to enter this in the Greetings Challenge at the Outlawz, which is 'Anything Goes').

Bazzill CS, Kraft CS, My Mind's Eye DP's, My Favorite Things Flourish Die, Kitchen knife for distressing, Scraps from my 'bling' stash, Magnolia Princess Tilda, Dimensional Foam, Sentiment from Hero Arts.

I'm still on the fence here - not sure that I like this, but it's got some shabby and it's got some chic, so it's being linked up.  Worth a shot, right? Lol...probably a D- but anything above an F is passing, right?

On a serious note, there are three families out there dealing with some incredible losses this week. 

Three more fellow service people of our son-in-law's were killed this week.  

Please keep these service people, and their families in your thoughts, and prayers.

Hugs & blessings,

Patti J.

So Sorry...

Hello!

So, have you all heard about the new challenge blog in town?  It's called "A Blog Named Hero", and it's for all things Hero Arts.  The card I'm sharing this evening is for their first challenge, "Play Favorites".  We are supposed to create using our favorite Hero Arts stamps. Egads. 

Hero Arts "Outline Flowers, So Sorry, Misc. Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Tsukineko Sponge Daubers, Stampendous White Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink, Bazzill CS, Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury White CS.

Really?  Choose a fave? Couldn't do it! I love ALL of my stamps, and choosing faves is like being asked to choose a favorite child...lol.  So, instead, I chose to use the first Hero Arts stamp that I ever owned.  I'd only been blogging a short time, still new to challenges, and I won this stamp as blog candy!  The sentiment is from a 'go to' set, called So Sorry that, sadly, I use a lot. 

I wanted this to be relatively flat for mailing, and a definite CAS card, so I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder, sponged in some color, and added a sentiment. No fru-fru today.  This is for a friend, who I just learned has stage 3 lung cancer, non-small cell.  Didn't want a lot of happy 'stuff' - just wanted her to know she's loved.

Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by :)

Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.

Wish You Were Here...

Greetings!

Wow, here comes another weekend.  Once again, someone or something has snuck away with my week.  Hoping that your week is going well, and quickly, and that you have a nice weekend in store.

Today, I thought I'd share a card that I made to send to our son in law in Afghanistan.  I'm attempting to keep his cards as lump-proof as possible, so this is a one layer card.

Supplies: Copic Markers, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Hero Arts "Wish You Were Here".

This features Hero Arts' "Wish You Were Here" set.  That is also the sentiment on the inside of the card. I very much liked the old fashioned type on the sentiments in this set.  Using post it notes, I masked off each area, and stipple brushed on each ink color, hoping for the look of a floor, wall, and a second room.  I'd seen something like this one time on Michelle Zindorf's blog, and stored it in my tiny brain to try later.  Thought it turned out pretty well and made up nicely for a masculine card.  Masculine and sympathy are my two 'walls'. I really have to work on those!

Have a good night, my friends!  I'm headed to my recliner to put my feet up for a bit.  I'll be taking my friendly laptop with me, and plan to scoot around to your blogs to say hello, and check out your fabulous creations.


Hugs & Blessings,
Patti J.

Food for Thought:  Putting the past behind requires putting the future ahead.

Thank you to Creative Cuts & More!

Happy Monday - hopefully your weekend was a nice one.  We just BBQ'd, probably for the last time.  It gets pretty brisk and windy up here on our hillside in the colder months.

I'm not sure where the months of September and October have gone.  It seems like just yesterday, I got my order in from Creative Cuts & More, and my two months as guest DT member began.  I want to say that Terri, and her team at CC&M were wonderful to work with.  Their products are outstanding.  I've not found anything yet that was not easy and amazing to create with.  Thank you, everyone at CC&M for making my time so enjoyable!

I have two projects for you today, using their products.  The first is a color-blocked card.  I chose to use the cream base, with an orange grid.  I had a good time testing many of my forgotten stamps, trying to find the right fit for the openings.

Stamps are Inkadinkado and Hero Arts.  Coloring was done using colored pencils and mineral spirits.  The Designer Paper was from an Autumn Mat Stack by DCWV.

This next project was fun to make.  I started with the Apron Die Cut.  Added some great designer paper from The Paper Studio.  Mmmmm....Pumpkin Pie?  Who can resist that?   Added  a Tag Die Cut, a sentiment from Hero Arts, and a bit of green seam binding ribbon from Stampin' Up.

Next, out came the Copics, and Pie Birgitta from C.C. Designs - how perfect is she with the pie papers???  Too much fun!

OOPS!  Looked at my photo just now, and realized that the ribbon on the tag had fallen down for the photo...lol.  Oh well, you get the idea :)

The finished project.

Once again, thanks to Terri, Dawn, and the crew at Creative Cuts & More.  You are the best!

Have a great week, everyone!  I'll be back tomorrow with a CAS card for Christmas!  If you are looking for something that will lay flat for mailing, and mass produce like one, two, three, be sure and check back!

Then, on November 1st, it's New Release Day for Digi's at the Doodle Pantry!!!  Laurie has some amazing new images for you!  Hope to see you on the 1st!

Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.

Food for thought:  You know you're getting older when you are given two choices, and you choose the one that gets you home earlier!  lol.....

A Little A-Musing Ghost...

Happy Friday - I hope that you have a great weekend ahead of you!

So, you know how we have talked about those projects that just plain frustrate us silly, 

and then those that we just love?  

Hee hee, well today's little card is one that you can't help but fall in love with.  

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Shirley came over to 'play'.  

We had seen a video on the Hero Arts blog, where they made a cute little tri-fold window card, and we just had to make one!  

She had also just signed on to be an A muse demonstrator, and had new Halloween stamps to play with.  

We were in stamping heaven!  

It always amazes us how we can make the same thing, with small variations, and such different results! 

Here is my card:

Card closed

Card semi opened

Card fully opened

Back of card

Images, cardstock, bat die cuts, sentiment - all A-Muse products.  Ink is Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Ribbon from my stash.

Edited:  This is 9" x 3", and is scored at 3" and 6".

Now, I hope that you will stop over at Shirley's blog and leave her a little bit of love!  

Her card is totally adorable!  

She used a different image, and shaded a bit differently, and it turned out so cute!!!

Hope this teensy little card gave you a smile, maybe even a giggle!

Have a great day,

Patti J.

Don't wail on the scale if you cheat when you eat....(ugh, this one was written for me)

Flowers in many colors...

Happy Friday! Even though I no longer leave home to work, I still look forward to Friday's. Silly, I know!

Today's post features another quick and easy card. Can't believe I've done another CAS card! It's almost one layer.

I began with a piece of white cardstock. Stamped the floral stamp and sentiment (Hero Arts) with Versamark, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then took some various colors of Tim Holtz distress inks and sponged them over the images. Wrapped some ribbon around, tied bow, attached card front to card, then popped up the sentiment. Voila!

I am entering this card here:

Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges: Use a stamped flower on project
Paper Romance Challenges: Use many colors

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend. My thoughts and prayers go out to those that reside in Japan, or have friends and family there. Blessings to all.

Food for thought: The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

2011? Oh my goodness!

It's been a very busy 'week after Christmas' for me - how about all of you?

I'm not sure where the time goes!

We had the excitement of getting a new grand-dog on Thursday! DD has adopted a darling Jack Russell and Cairn Terrier Mix. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. I know I am partial, but she is one smart little pup! Melissa already has her sitting, staying, and is working on her bringing her leash when she needs to go outside. She's been named Rosie, after the famous Riveter, since she's a tough little cookie. She was a 'dumped' dog, and nearly died. She is up to a whopping 10 lbs! Stay tuned for photos!

Okay, we interrupt the above commercial to bring you official business:

* * * * * * * * * *

I was very excited to be invited to be a Guest Designer

for One Crazy Stamper Challenge Blog, for the month of January!

What a fun bunch of DT gals, and they are SO amazingly talented! I'm still pinching myself for being invited to join them this month!

If you've never been shopping at the One Crazy Stamper store, you must go...now!!! What fun!

Their challenge this week is an open theme challenge.

For my card today, I chose to use this darling Magnolia, Princess Tilda stamp. I wish you could see her sparkles! I went over her in many places with clear stickles, and she sparles beautifully! You might want to enlarge the picture so the glitteryness shows!

Oh, and I am proud to say that ALL coloring, even the hair (!!!) was done using copics!

The CS is Bazzill, and the dotted DP is The Angel Company. Butterflies are punched from a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is Hero Arts.

I'll be back with another project later in the week for One Crazy Stamper, so be sure to check back! I'd love to see YOUR projects, so head over and enter the challenge! I'll be by to check out your creations!!!

__________

I am also very flattered and excited to be a Guest Designer this month for Craft Your Passion Challenges!!!

Craft your passion has digital images by Lauretta's Digital Stamps, and Cocodingo's Digital Stamps.

If you have never been over to visit at Craft Your Passion, that's another 'must go'!!! Their challenges are so creative, and their digi's are adorable!

The challenge this week at Craft Your Passion, is an open theme as well.

I was asked to use an image by Lauretta, and I chose to use her Scotty Dog. I thought that this Basic Grey DP would be a perfect background for her darling dog. I added a bit of glossy accents to Scotty's 'raincoat' (since we've had so much rain this winter), to give it a bit of shine! Again, the shine doesn't show, so feel free to enlarge the photo so you can see the shine!

Coloring is done with pencils and LOMS, and Sharpie's. Sentiment is from The Angel Company.

I'll be looking forward to seeing YOUR creations! Hop on over and link them up, and I'll be by to see you soon!!!

Well, dear friends - that's all I have for you today.

I wish you all a wonderful 2011, full of happiness and good health.

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

Happy Friday!

So, I tried to do a bit of grocery shopping yesterday around 11 a.m. YIKES! You would think that we were about to have a ginormous snowfall or something. People were EVERYwhere, and were not very cheerful! I picked up our turkey, and a few things on the ends of the aisles, and decided to go back tomorrow morning about 4:30 a.m. when DH leaves to drive to deer camp! Wish me luck...

I have a couple of cards for you today - gasp! Another post this week? lol...

This first card is a funny story. I saw this sketch by Mercy Kerin, and thought I'd give it a try. I've never had the courage to try one of Mercy's challenges before. She is a wonderfully talented gal, and to be quite honest, I've been a bit of a scaredy-cat! So...here I go - I put my big girl panties on and decided to go for it! I turned the sketch on it's side... I found the ca-utest new TAC stamps that I hadn't inked up yet, so I got them out and inked them up. On ivory cardstock... :) Here's where I have to laugh at myself. ALL of the coloring was complete. The card was totally ready for the image to be placed. I picked up my sponge, inked it up with antique linen, and lightly sponged around the edges, and it looked perfect! I decided to try a tad bit of Tea Dye around the most outside edge. I picked up my Tea Dye distress pad, took the top off of it, and DROPPED the pad, ink side down, right smack in the middle of the 'kids'. If you look, you can see a pretty pronounced line of ink. So.....I could either start over, or I could REALLY distress the heck out of this card! I chose the latter. So, Mercy, if you look at this card, please don't judge my entire 'book' by this ugly cover...lol!!! Oh...the sentiment is Hero Arts!

I will enter this card at:

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch - Sketch #100
CCEE Stampers: Use buttons

A Spoon Full of Sugar: #130, Distressing (tee hee!!!)

Frosted Designs: Distressing (tee hee tee hee!!!)

This next card is made with a beautiful stamp that I picked up on my trip to the craft store in Branson a few weeks ago. It's a Northwoods stamp - isn't it so beautiful?

I watercolored the image, used some glossy accents on the birds, bows, and red border (part of the stamp!). I used a 'snow pen' for the snow, sprinkled some diamond dust glitter, and heated it, and added dots of diamond dust around the outside. Someone can read the card, then hang it on their tree.

I am entering this card here:

Glimmer Mist...what fun!

Hello!

Today's card is one that I made a few weeks ago for a swap over at Technique Junkies.

I had to wait to post it until all the swap cards were traded out.

The pumpkin is an Inkadinkado image. The sentiment is Hero Arts. The background was made by taking a piece of lace, laying it over the cardstock, and spraying Glimmer Mist over it.

Glimmer Misting was a lot of fun - if you haven't tried it, you should!

Christmas is "Just Rite" in July...

The challenge at Just Rite Stampers this week is "Christmas in July". I love Just Rite Stamp sets, but I only have three sets, and of those three sets, only the half circle is a Christmas stamp. So...I improvised!

The doily stamp is Hero Arts, and has been heat embossed with white. The red DP is Martha Stewart, and the green DP is DCWV. The white CS is embossed with my dotted swiss Cuttlebug Folder, so I am also entering this at The Cuttlebug Spot, where the challenge is also Christmas in July.

Sigh...back to my kitchen!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
