Taylor's cards

My grand-daughter Taylor enjoyed her time at the Picture This while she visited. She was in a few nights including scrap to midnight. She loves to play with my Copic markers and her new found love is the Greeting Farm stamps. She made several cards while she was here and I wanted to post a few to share. They are getting ready to head back to warmer weather and I after another day of snow I wish I was going to be in the car with them!

Fab 5 Day 5

Good morning! Boy has this week gone fast.

Above you will find a bottle I made for my daughter. She was married on the beach and collected some sand for the memory. Well, the poor sand has never made it out of the baggie yet. When I made the bottle I had to ask her what color vellum she like, so I had brought home three and she chose the blue. I had her stamp the tag with their names and the date of the wedding. (We cut it out after stamping the vellum as it makes it easier to line the words up in the space on the tag.) I think when she adds the sand the blue will stand out really nice, and it was the color scheme of her wedding also. She is up visiting so we did not have the sand, but I did add a few shells I had collected from the beach years ago. On the top was added ribbon, tissue tape to the cork, and topped it off with two tags from the Timeless Heritage collection.The tags were cut 3 times each-twice in aluminum foil and one with cardboard/chipboard. I inked them with Tim Holtz alcohol inks to give them the colors above. We then glued the inked shapes on the back and front of the cardboard. I did color the tissue tape as we were playing, but we ended up using a non-colored piece. Coloring the tape is easily done with alcohol inks as well. I don't think the picture does it justice; so if you want to see it come to the store soon because she will be leaving next week and he bottle goes with her. Thanks for looking!

Fab Five Day 4

Today I did a card with acetate. You can use Staz-on if you want to stamp a back ground image on the acetate. I wasn't finding anything that really popped out at me when I started this card, so I kept it simple. I used Labels 16 (x4) and a circle from the large collection. Sorry for the picture not being very good. I have to modify a few technical issues at home until I break down and get my home computer up and running again. Thanks for looking!

Fab 5 Day 3

Already day 3, how fast the time is going. Today I used two dies on my card-circles and the Sunflower Set 2. After cutting and embossing the sunflower I kept the paper in the die and colored the exposed areas. The brown paper is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I colored this little Magnolia girl a while back and I am glad she finally found a home.

I also have a guest today. A self proclaimed Picture This employee, my grand-daughter, Taylor. She loves coming to the store to help and create. So on Sunday she came in to create while Lacey and I worked. She had her box of scrapbook/card supplies and her scrapbook ready to go. Well, she really likes making the quilling flowers from Cuttlebug. So she canvassed the store picking out paper, stickers, and stamps. Tada! Here card is the other card shown. And to be honest it was with very little help from me. The only thing I did was supply some ink, tightened up the flowers just a tad, cut her basic layers, and reached for the stamp she wanted to use. She is very proud of her card and even sent a picture to my husband Brian. I am very proud of her card myself!

Take care,

Paula

Fab 5 Day 1

Good Monday morning everyone! This week are the fun Spellbinders dies. What endless possibilities are available to give your creations that little extra umph and no one has to know how easy it was. I can't even begin to tell you how many I have because they are addicting. Today I used the duck set. I folded pink paper in half and on the fold I placed my die a bit down so I would be able to have a card afterwards. I also cut the shape out of the double sided sticky paper from Dreamweavers. Then I added a google eye to my duck, and flocked it with some hot pink flock. I made this little ducky into a baby announcement. Inside it has stamped Just Arrived and the info about the little one born. You could make your duck a lighter pink and add ribbon, make it into a shower invitation, a first birthday party invite, or even add it to a first bath scrapbook page. Have fun!!!!

Visitors

Hello everyone! This week has been a great week. My daughter and grand-daughter arrived Wednesday. So in between me working we have been eating, shopping, and visiting. Taylor, my grand-daughter, has made out the best so far. Of course being her birthday was on Wednesday did help. Next week we plan to get massages, facials, manis and pedis, do some sight-seeing, and of course more shopping! Maybe this week we will see some of you out and about.

Next week starts the Fab Five + One. Our highlight for the month is Spellbinders. I think everyone will love all of the ideas and find inspiration with the dies. My lovely, outstanding grand-daughther will be a guest designer on my blog this week. Maybe I can get my daughter to do something too.

Talk to you soon,

Paula
