Molly Loves Lattes

Hello, and happy middle of the week to you all!

Today has been busy, busy, busy, but I do have something sweet to share.

Meet Molly.... Molly is one of the sweet images from The Digi Garden.

This one is called Molly Loves Lattes.

If you haven't checked out all of the cute digi's over there, you should!  Cuteness galore!

She's all colored up with Copic's, and the fun DP is a pack that I got free from Bazzill, for signing up a while back, to participate in a February swap. Used my Perfect Layers Tools for perfect mats! See sidebar for details...

Jan S., if you are reading, I'm SO busted!  Needed a piece of turquoise ribbon....'nuff said???  lol...

The sentiment is an OLD stamp from Great Impressions.  I'm guessing it was retired many years ago, but it's still one of my all time 'go-to' stamps.

Have a good night!

I'll be by to check on all of you after supper!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Faith Wings...

Hello, friends!

Hopefully, your week is off to a good start!

Life is always good here...no complaints!

I needed a card for someone at church that is struggling with health issues, and thought I'd share it with you.

Stamps Used:  Impression-Obsession Faith Wings D13004, Bird Collage 4 E13046, and Tapestry Banner E8822

The banner was stamped three times, and colored with Copic Markers. These were matted with Bazzill cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped and matted, and framed with some bling from my stash. The bird was stamped twice, and colored with Copics.  I then fussy cut, and adhered the first bird with dimensional foam.  I cut out only the flower from the second bird, and added it with dimensional foam. A bit of Glossy Accents finished off the flower.  My Perfect Layers Tools finished my edges beautifully! (See my sidebar to check these out!)

The challenge at the Impression-Obsession blog is a "Your Choice Challenge", so I'm entering this card there!

Thanks for stopping by - have a great week!

Blessings,

Patti J.

On Your Feet...

Happy Sunday!

Today begins a new monthly challenge at the Great Impressions Stamps Blog.

This month, the challenge is a sketch by Erin.  I had a great time working with this fun sketch!

Here is Erin's great sketch!

I chose to work Great Impressions 'On Your Feet Soon' C437, and 'Duck Feet' F531.

 

All coloring is done with Copic markers.  The feet were stamped twice, and fussy cut. The second set was added with dimensional foam.  Hope you can see the dimension of the 'badge', and then the 'feet'.  The DP was from a DCWV paper pad that my dear friend Shirley brought me back from a trip to the city. My Perfect Layers Tools were used to create the beautiful straight mats and layers!  Use the code Gilliam5% to save!

We would love to see YOUR take on this delightful sketch!

you will be entered TWICE into the prize drawing!

So...have fun creating, and then head over to the Great Impressions Stamps Blog to

Hope you'll head over to the Great Impressions Blog to see what the

talented design team has to share!

Calendar Workshop - Completed Pages

We made it to another Friday!  Wahoo!

I posted a photo of the calendar workshop project earlier this week, and promised to post finished pages.

Since this is a photo-heavy post, I'll leave you with the photos!

Thanks for stopping by!

We had a great workshop - there were five ladies and myself. The building we were in is an old factory, and two of the heaters were down, so we worked our fingers to the bones, just to keep them from freezing and falling off!  Next time, I'll be packing....a space heater, that is!

Have a great weekend.

Hugs,

Just Me. Thinking of You!

Happy 1st Thursday of 2013!

Today is my first post as a Guest Designer for the Great Impressions Stamps Blog. I was thrilled to be invited to work with these talented ladies - what a wonderful way to start off the new year!

Great Impressions Stamps: F08, Dress-Up Annie, and D405, Just Me. Thinking of You, Copic Markers, My Mind's Eye Designer Papers, Flower Trim - Hobby Lobby, Polka Dot CS - Amuse, button from Grandma's button tin, Perfect Layers Rulers for beautiful matting (see sidebar for deets!)

I chose to work with Dress-Up Annie (F08), and adorable image.  This beautiful Thinking of You sentiment (D405) seemed perfect for her.  I am a Chemo Card Angel, and send off a card or package each week to a lady undergoing chemo treatments, and this will be in the mail to her tomorrow.

The image is colored with Copic Markers, and the DP is from My Mind's Eye, the Blush Collection.

I hope that you will stop by the Great Impressions Blog today, and leave me a little love there!

Here's hoping that 2013 is off to a great start for you!

Sneak Peek!

It's me again!

Thought I'd share a sneak peek of the calendar that we are creating in a workshop tomorrow.

Hope you like it!

Will be back after the workshop with photos of each page.

I might even have one to give away, depending on tomorrow's turnout!

AND.....

I'll be back Thursday morning with my very first Guest Designer post for Great Impressions Stamps!  Hope you'll stop by on Thursday, to see the SWEET image that I'm creating with!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hugs to all...

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wow, seriously, where did 2012 go?  

My mom always told me that the older I get, the faster time would go, and I think she was right!

I'm preparing today for a Calendar Workshop that I'm doing tomorrow...will post

the finished project after the workshop.

My time with Repeat Impressions is over, and I did not take on another term. Wendy and her husband, the owners, are wonderful, amazing, and generous people, and I feel like I have friends for life with the DT members that I worked with.  I have some family priorities that need my attention, and it's

time to think about those!

With that in mind, Repeat Impressions is looking to add another DT member!

If you are interested, head over to the blog, The House That Stamps Built, 

for full details on how to apply!

Happy New Year, my friends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing you all of God's blessings for 2013.
