Pieced Chair & Lamp

i just love this paper from kim's store. it is by Bo Bunny called winter whisper. i stamped the chair & lamp on the brown paper because i thought it looked like a marbled paint technique some have on their walls. then i paper pieced the chair and lampshade with the plaid and snowflake papers.

i am stuck on the buttons and snowflakes too. also the ribbon is velvet, just a little extra texture for the card.

here is another shot of the "room". i also used A Muse ovals to make a faux rug for under the chair/lamp.

inks: stazon timber brown, cats eye chalk brown

stamps: A Muse chair & lamp, just saying hello, ovals mini set

Tote Tags

i have been thinking about my own tags for the totes. i did a swap for a su set called stamp of authenticity. so i won't be able to do many of these. but i think they are cute.

Lavender Edward

this is a little 3 inch card. i was playing with the creative impressions snowflakes and realized one had a lavender hue when put on purple paper. am also using up some scraps of black chipboard.

Let It Snow!

this is kim's new paper, by Bo Bunny called winter whisper. i haven't sewed on a card in a while, and thought this one needed it. i am still in love with buttons, so i used one under the creative impressions medium snowflake and silver snowflake brad. i kinda like the wavy banner, dave would have liked it better if it wasn't crooked.

Kissing Couple

i know i have done this one before, in a different color, but i love it so much. when i saw this paper at kim's store, serendipity,(19 s main st, henderson, ky) i immediately thought of the girl's skirt. i am in love with buttons lately. can you tell?

this is one of my annual anniversary cards(meaning i find a card i love so much, i mass produce it for a year's worth of anniversary cards for my friends) you may have it in another color.

Flower Sketch

this is another i did for kim's store. i used one of her dollar stamps, called flower sketch. i used the brown cat's eye chalk ink to sponge the edge of the flower, then i attached it to the ric rac ribbon with a button and embroidery floss. the background paper has glitter already on it.

dave says it is too busy for him. but i really didn't add that much, it is just the paper.

Donald & Edward - Together Again

dave and i are home sick today, at least it is not snowing here. but i played with the snowmen brothers. i think they are too cute.

the black paper is a glitter paper, and i used my new swiss dots on my cuttlebug to make a snow look on the background and also on edward and the "you're cool". i guess it wasn't snowing anymore on donald.

i used my aqua pen to color them, i think the chalk inks did very well. i am not used to using them, yet.

anyway this is for kim's store, serendipity, in henderson, ky(19 s main st).

Whale Fun

i finally got to stamp with the girls again. so this is just a sampling of what i did today.

i got to try both kohinoor pencils with blending stumps and terpentine.(the above pic.)

and michelle's copic markers on this one. i used my aqua pen with su cool caribbean on the water of both cards.

paper: su whisper white, vintage violet, cool caribbean

ink: cool caribbean, memento black

stamps: su pun fun

Cupcake Social

we had the cupcake social today, with michelle demonstrating the copic markers, and kim had all kinds of new products in the store, and really good cupcakes to eat. i also had my first class in the store.

here is a link to michelles blog, she has a slide show of everyone that came.

also, congrats to shae otto, one of the ladies that took my class. she won the grand prize of the serendipity tote and all the goodies too.
