REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION-PAPER CREATIONS SPRING 13
I made three cards using the 6x6 paper pad. It is filled with pink, yellow, chocolate and burgundy pappers and so easy to make cards with as you can see with my first card.

 On my second card I got a bit bravery by making a pinwheel and adding a sticker from SRM Stickers.

And for my last I made these fabulous banners and added cute little dimensional flowers using the EK Success Mini Flower Punch. My Thank You Sentiment on this card is an Inkadinkado Stamp and Black Color Box Ink. Don't forget to check out their site and check out the new lines that will be release at CHA. Have a fun and creative day. Hugs Pammejo

Make the Season Bright Card

Well let us make this Christmas Season Bright is what this holiday card is all about. I just love the Inkadinado Deer Stamp, he is just so fun. I colored the deer using my Copic Markers and fussy cut him out. I placed him on a Snowflake Embossed piece of green paper that I wrapped with a piece of red sheer ribbon and placed it on my My Minds Eye The Merry Days of Christmas card base using pop dots. (Remember to stamp and emboss your Hero Arts Laughter and Merriest Sentiment before you place this piece to the card base.) My little string of light I picked up in the minature Christmas section of Hobby Lobby. So make sure to look around all your favorite craft and scrapbook stores to find those fun embellishments.

Hello Friend with Authentique "Journey" Collection and A Giveaway!!!!!!

Hello Friend - it has been a few days since I have placed anything on my blog but my life has been going crazy. My husband and I saw a house last week, fell in love with it and decided to buy it a few days later, with that being said it also means that my honey will be retiring so like I said things here has been a bit crazy. In the days to come I will be sharing some photos of our new/old fixer upper home we fell in love with.

My card that I designed came about because not only did we buy this house but I decided to participate in a "Friend" card exchange. I used the Tim Holtz Rosette for my flower and all of the paper is the Authentique "Journey" Collection that was sent to me for the layout that I posted last week, how sweet is that.

I used a couple of different sentiment stamps to make my tag. The "Hello" comes from the Inkadinkado Chelsea Sentiments Stamp Set and the "Friends" comes from Hero Arts Friends Stamp Set. My twine is from Whisker Graphic (I won this spool from Whisker Graphics and definitely will be getting more). I added the Tim Holtz Hinge Clips to give my card some added detail, along with inking all of the edges with Chestnut Roan ink and adding a blue gemstones to the center of my rosette.

See all of my beautiful cards that I made for the exchange, 15 to be exact. I hope you enjoy my sweet creation for today my dear friends. Please leave a comment, your email and become a follower I will send you a pair of them as a thank you. Have a fabulous day.

Butterflies & Blogs Hop

Today we are celebrating the last year that Laura will in her 20s, I guess she is getting starting to see the what is in store for her in the 30s, I am sure it will be filled with excitement and adventures. Happy Birthday Laura!!!! If you came hopping along the butterfly and blog trails from Sarah's Live, Love and SCRAP then you are on the right path and if you stop to see what I am doing today I would encourage you to go Laura's Makin' Pretty Things and join us in the hop, there are 29 hops that will be celebrating her birthday. I am sure you will see lots of beautiful projects, wonderful tutorials and maybe along the hop get enter in drawings to recieve some fabulous giveaways. I made two birthday cards both using the My Minds Eye 6" x 6" Stella Rose Hattie collection along with SRM Stickers. On my first card I used my notebook paper punch to create my notebook look edge paper.

I stamped one of the pieces of paper using an Inkadinkado Stamp (91034) and Memento Black Ink. I added a Tim Holtz metal clock hand to the clock face.

I took my Inkadinkado Stamp and stamped the large and small butterflies twice onto a piece of the blue paper that is in the paper stack, fussy cut them and glued one of each onto my stamped imaged that I had previously stamped. I then took the last two butterflies folded the wings up a bit and painted them with the Distress Crackle Paint, allowed it to dry and then glued them to the top of the blue butterflies. This gives my card great dimension.

Again, my second card is made from the paper from the same stack. This time I used the Tim Holtz Filigree stamp along with the Stampers Anonymous Papillon Stamps.

I did my butterflies using the same technique as above only with the Papillon Stamp and Memento Black Ink. Both of my SRM Stickers Birthday stickers are on pop dots. I added a 2" scallop circle along with a Prima Bintage Trinket to the front of my card.

I hope you enjoy my birthday cards and continue the hop by going to very talented Corri's Bug Lover Cards.

Trigger Trigger-Comfy Cozy

Moxie Fab World Trigger Tuesday Challenge-Comfy Cozy!!!

This is the picture that Moxie Fab World gave us to be inspired by, isn't it relaxing and beautiful. The photo comes from page 26 of the online Bed and Bath Catolog from Pottery Barn. I knew

My card became the literal transformation of the project. I first started with a piece of My Minds Eye Tickled pink paper from the Fine and Dandy Paper Pad because it reminded me of the pillows on the day bed. I thought about how relaxing it would be to relax on the day bed and just look out the window and see the beautiful flowers and that is where my flowers and sentiment came from. I stamped right on to the paper with my Sketched Flowers from Stampabilities and Memento ink and colored them in with my Copic B00, B02, R83, R85, G02, G05, Y 13 and Y26 markers. My Inkadinkado Mason Frame and Hero Arts Friends were stamped on white card stock using Memento Ink. I distressed the edge of my frame and Tickled Pink paper using the Tim Holtz distress tool to make my card have the shabby appeal of the shelf that is about the day bed, I also inked the edges of flower paper using Tea Dye with a blending tool. My sentiment is ink with both the Tea Dye and a bit of the Broken China to for a look of the sky.

I placed my Tickled Pink paper to my card base, place my sentiment on pop dots. The last thing that I did was to take some crochet ribbon and distress it with the Tea Dye and blending tool. When I had this done I placed it at the bottom of my card to for the crochet throw that was slightly hanging off the day bed. Adding some staples to the edge of the card gave me the metal that I need for my day bed.

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of the Moxie Fab World Comfy Cozy Challenge and take the plunge and play along.
