Scioween Event 2009

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope your all having a relaxing day! My gang has helped me do alittle cleaning around here since it's kinda showery one minute & sunny the next. LOL Right now i'm taking a break before heading up to run the sweeper. I don't have anything stamp related to share today but for now I wanted to share the flyer for a Scion event coming up that Shawn got together on behalf of the York Chapter of Scikotics, Scion of York & The York Food Bank. This is a charity event to help support our local food bank which really needs help durning these rough economic times. If you know anyone that has a show car (doesn't have to be a Scion/Toyota) or just a lover of cars, please pass this flyer along. I am really hoping we have terrific weather this day for a wonderful turn out to give something back to the community. Everyone is welcomed!

More info below....

Any questions please email me @ blueyes966@comcast.net

Thanks! ~Wendy

Just Playing...

Hello & Happy Saturday! Yipppee, the weekend is here!

Yesterday, I spent all day rearranging & getting my card rack prepared for the craft show which I know is 2 months away but I needed to do inventory of what I needed to put on the rack and also make sure all my cards are fully finished, inside & out. I found many cards thru that process that needed mostly inside sentiments. I have a few wedding & Christmas cards yet that i'd like to get on there before taking it to the farm.

After that, I moved on to rooting thru my image box and seeing what I had in there that needed some ink. Low and behold I found this Tilda image and decided to color her for fun. Coloring her turned into making the whole card except for adding the inside sentiment. I finished that first thing this morning, Isn't she sooo cute!

Your Sweet Card:

Stamps: Tilda w/Tulips by Magnolia, Sentiment from Mini Mates

Ink: Palette Noir Black, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss, GP White, Lemonade DSP by Basic Grey

Accessories: Circle & Circle Scalloped Nestabilities, Prima Flowers, Kiwi Corduroy Button, White Sheer Polka Dot Ribbon, Circle Punches, 2 Sided Tape, Dimensionals

I'm off to get my day started, finally! We're taking Kels & Karie to the movies to see Fame this afternoon then Shawn & I have a date with the Scion gang over at Shady Maple for dinner. Then...LOL We're hanging out with Ryan & the neighbors to watch the Penn State football game here! Busy day ahead so i'd better go!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great weekend!

Autumn Wreath

Hello & Happy Thursday to ya!

Today I didn't feel like participating in any challenges and wanted to do some stamping for myself. I borrowed a boatload of stamp sets from Deb K. the other day and wanted to get some Fall cards made. I borrowed her beloved Autumn Days set and I seen so many people lately making these wreath cards. My stamping friend, LeAnne, recently made one and I fell in love with it! So, here is my take on a wreath card for Fall.

Autumn Wreath Card:

Stamps: Autumn Days, Warmest Regards

Ink: Old Olive, Ruby Red, More Mustard, Basic Black

Cardstock: Ruby Red, More Mustard, Old Olive, SU WW, Autumn Traditions DSP

Accessories: Cuttlebug w/Houndstooth Embossing Folder, Circle & Scallop Circle Nestabities, Tag Nestabilities, Gold Brads, Gold Ribbon from PTI, 2 Sided Tape

I'm really happy with this! It's alittle hard to keep the leaf in a perfect circle as your stamping in different colors but it all looks great when it's done! Thanks LeAnne for sharing your idea! :)

Well, that's all I have for today! Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Till I got them taken it was already dark out. Kelsey has the sinus thing going on which isn't any surprize. She always seems to have a cold in the month of September for as long as I can remember. She said so many kids at school are sick right now. I guess it's that time of year, huh?

Well, i'm in the midst of watching Dancing With the Stars at the moment so I am gonna go finish and head to bed.

Thanks for stopping by and i'll see ya tomorrow!

Featured Stamper 136~ Shannon Steubner!!

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!!

Today, I thought i'd better get my butt out of bed atleast somewhat early so I could get my blog updated then we have the fun task of closing the pool. Yep, summer offically ends today here at my house and since no one has used the pool since last weekend, it's time to close it up for another season. It's sorta sad because you know down the road cold, freezing weather is bound to come and no one wants that!

So, I got my pot of coffee brewing and came down to my stamp room to check out who the Featured Stamper was today. I usually do this challenge but the last few weeks I have not.

This is the card of hers I chose to case:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1156194?&cat=500&ppuser=95116

Take a look....

When we do a Featured Stamper case, we have to change 2 things on the card. I changed:

1) cardstock colors

2) used different cuttlebug embossing folder

3) use different stamped images

4) changed my ribbon & added gold brads

Featured Stamper 136 Card:

Stamps: Autumn Days, Impression Obsession

Mojo Monday Sketch #103...on Tuesday!

Hi again!

I'm alittle late on doing the Mojo Challenge so below is the sketch and then my card samples. Take a look...

Again, I decided to use the sketch challenge to make another Halloween card for my card rack. I found in my Image Box these Witches Shoes from Stampendous. I colored them in then colored a 2nd image and cut them out. I popped them up with dimensionals on top of the first image. I used some retired Stampin Up DSP for this. I'm trying to use up all my old stuff but I really like this paper & the design on it. I stamped my sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black and punched it out with the Modern Label Punch and attached it to the card with some black brads. The pumpkin pie cardstock under the main image was run thru the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. Lastly, I added 2 black brads to the main image, popped it up with dimensionals and threw on some Vintage Violet Grosgrain from a few years back. Hope ya like!

Crazy 4 Challenges

Happy Labor Day Everyone!

Sorry for the absence the last 2 days. Saturday I sat & worked on some Christmas things then we did some shopping and ended the day with a Scion get together but turned out to be a huge party on the deck instead. Wasn't expecting all that but we had fun!

Sunday, we had a cookout to attend over close to Philly and it was a beautiful day for it! Till we got home, we got the kids fed and went to bed around 8pm. As the saying goes "I think we're too old for that partying stuff"! LOL

Anyways, I missed out on the fabulous challenges the last 2 days. I really expected to spend most of the holiday weekend in my stamp room but it didn't turn out that way. Today is our neighbor, Ed's birthday so I had to get something made up for him. I found out from an online friend, Carol, that there was a new Challenge Blog starting this past Saturday! I'm always interested in doing challenges so today I used the challenge from Crazy 4 Challenges Blog for my card. Thanks Carol for letting me know!! :)

Limited Supplies Challenge 236

Happy TGIF!! Yipppeee, the weekend is here!

Yesterday, I took the day off from blogging to celebrate my birthday! I had a great day and got lots of cool presents & cards from family & friends. I will share those in the coming days but in the meantime i'd like to say how thankful I am to everyone who took the time to send cards and special birthday greetings! Each one made my day! Thank you so much! :)

So, today I had to get back to my stamping table to make something for today's Limited Supplies Challenge. Have you ever heard of "Scraplings"?? No? Well, neither did I! LOL Turns out they are a scrap of paper left over from making a 4 X 4 sized card. The size of the scrapling is 4 X 1.5 and really made me think of what I could do with this. After a few mess up's this is what I made. Take a look below....

Again I have to apologize for the pics not being so clear. It's alittle breezy outside today and my card kept wanting to blow off the deck railing so I hurried up and tried to grab quick pics.

What do you think of my "scrapling"? I think I like it. I'm thinking of using mine as a tag on a gift bag since I have a quite a few birthday's coming up. I will decorate the bag to coordinate with the tag. :)
