More Than Favors-"Many Thanks" with SRM Stickers and The Girls' Paperie

I am entering this card on the More Than Favors blog for their Wacky Wednesday Challenge #16 Fall and Thanksgiving Theme. Love the reflection of the Thanksgiving season. We so often forget just to say thank you. "Thank You" to all that have come to visit my blog, thank you to all that have encouraged my creativity. In 2011 I will be published in the Spring 2011 issue of Scrapbooking and Beyond Magazine. I can't thank them enough for the opportunity. I will tell you the story once the issue is in print.
I made this card using one of the SRM Thanks Sentiment Stickers. I was honored recently on being featured on their blog with a card that I had made for breast cancer awareness. If you have never tried their stickers. They are a must; so easy and convenient to use but my favorite is that they are gorgeous.
My card papers are from The Girls' Paperie Toil and Trouble. I know it is Halloween paper but who says it can't be used as a Thanksgiving Card, it is perfect. I did these little diamonds for the inside of the card and fussy cut the filigree from the Parlor paper for the top of my border that is on the outside of my card. I matted all of my pieces with Black card stock to help it pop off my Orange 5x7 base card.

Again, Thank You To All.

Supplies:

SRM Thank You Sentiment Stickers
The Girls' Paperie Toil and Trouble: Parlor and Chost Story Paper
Card Stock: Orange and Black
Gemstones: Orange and Black

"Happy Holidays" with Little Yellow Bicycle Christmas Delight

I used the Little Yellow Bicycle Christmas Delight to make my card. The Happy Holidays are stickers from the same collection.
My card is 5" x 7" and I used the Tis The Season Stripe paper on top of my card. I cut a window out of the paper before I placed it on my card so that my package that I fussy cut from the Great Big Cut Outs would fit into the inside. I also paper pierced and used my Le Pen made it to look like stitch lines.

Here is a closer look in case you don't have a sewing machine. This is a quick way to make it look like you do. I did though sew around the outside edge of my card base. I added the ribbons and buttons after I got my package inside the window.

Supplies:

Little Yellow Bicycle Christmas Delight: Tis the Season Stripe, Merry & Bright Bands, Great Big Cut Outs

Ribbon: Brown, Burgundy Check, Sheer Green

Tiny Attacher

Small Green buttons & tan twine

Bo Bunny: To Use Something from Nature Card Challenge Tuesday

Here is my card for the Bo Bunny Card Challenge Tuesday. We are suppose to use something from nature. So am using the picket fence that was once a tree and now is this cute little fence.
Here is a little closer look at the fence so you are able to see it is wired together. It is a fence that I purchased from Make It Christmas line. I used the Bo Bunny Tis the Season Treasure and Cut Outs for my card along with the Bo Bunny Holiday Dreams Rub Ons. I fussy cut all of the pieces out and placed them on pop dots. Added some of the Chunky Crystal Glitter to the snow and on top of the snowman's hat to give it some sparkle.

This is a side view of the card so you can see the pieces that are up on the pop dots.

I couldn't forget the inside of the card. I used some of the Dreams Rub Ons on the outside of the card and added the rest of the phrase to a 5"x5" piece of white card stock to the inside. My total dimensions of my card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Warm Winter Wishes withPage Maps Sister Scrapbook Sketch Contest We R Memory Keepers "Merry January" Collection

Page Maps is hosting a sketch contest with Sisters Scrapbook and they are offering a very nice prize package. The deadline is November 21st, make sure to run over to Page Maps to get all of the fine details on the contest. I tell you lately I can't get enough of the We R Memory Keepers Collections and the new Easy Sew Tool. It is super easy to use, just trying to get my pressure right but I know that it will depend on the papers I decide to use. On this layout I had to go through both pattern paper and card stock so I had to push just a bit harder but it is super easy to use and to line up. Check it out on the border underneath my snowman. It sure made the border become connected to the Curry Dot paper
.

Take a look at this fabulous stamp from We R Memory Keepers, it to is from the "Merry January" collection. I stamped directly on my Bo Bunny Curry Dot paper and then I paper pieced it on top of the stamped image by just repeat stamping on scrap papers from the collection, cutting and gluing it to the top of the stamped image.

Look at my ruffle border that I placed on my page to go along with the Page Map sketch. I cut 3/4" strips of paper and then with my scissors made narrow cuts into the strips going almost to the edge. I then took tweezers and rolled up every other one to make the rolls. It is so, so easy and gave a great look to the page. I then just adhered it to the photos in the lengths that I needed.

Another look at the rolled border along with a tag from one one of the pieces of paper.

Happy Thanksgiving

Lovin' the new We R Making Memory Maple Grove collection. So easy to make a card, layout, book, etc. I made this fabulous card to send out using the collection. I made this 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" card in a matter of minutes. The center is a die cut from the collection and the band from the card base scraps. The die cut is very nicely embossed and has such great dimension to it. I place it on pop dots and added some Frosted Lace Stickles on the edges of the band and around the scallops. Gave it a finishing touch with a small blue and brown plaid bow.

PageMaps 2 Sketch Challenge

I haven't done any of the PageMap sketch challenges so I thought I would try it with this sketch. Just love the sketch and knew as soon as I saw it what my interpretation of it would be.

Look at all the fabulous details on this sketch, how could you not fall in love with it, with them. I am planning on doing another challenge that I will post later on this week. If you haven't had a chance to visit PageMaps you should run right over there and check it out and try doing one of the sketches.
I found this cute poem online by just typing into my search engine Coloring Eggs poem and this was the first one that popped up. I read it and of course thought perfect. It said just what I wanted my journaling to say.

Do you see all of the stitch lines, they are from We R Memory Keepers latest tool, the Easy Sew. Love it and super easy to use. Gives great detail to a page when you don't have your sewing machine with you.

My letters are from the Dragonfly Quickutz Alphabet. My papers are all from the Rusty Pickle White Chocolate Bunnies Collection.
