I love the colors in this week's Tuesday Trigger from Moxie Fab. So my take on it is B is for Beautiful (sentiment from Cornish Heritage: Sweet Bee). The background paper is MME's Lost & Found, love that it looks like school paper. The medallion stamp is PTI, and the flower is SEI Moonrise.
I needed a masculine sympathy card, and thought this SEI Moonrise paper worked well. The sentiment is PTI Fillable Frames Additions set stamped in black on PTI vintage cream cardstock.
this is for the SEI Link Party over on the SEI blog. i am in love with this SEI Sunday Brunch: Bridgeport paper. it is wide striped on the flip side, and just as pretty.
it is wrapped in white organza ribbon, then topped with a small vellum envelope that i handmade without a template. (i'm kinda proud of that! ;) ) it has a little piece of card stock inside that has "wonderful friend" stamped on it. the sentiments are from PTI.
the little banner tag sticking out from the double buttons is the flip side of the SEI sunday brunch paper.
this was one of the rejected cards from the sketch challenges from PaperCrafts mag. dave thought it was too busy. i used paper from the SEI Dill Blossom paper pad, so they all went together. but maybe i used too many different patterns.
no, this is not blurry. i stamped 2x, i wanted it pear tart, but it blended in with the paper strips, so i stamped again in bamboo leaves, i love that it looks shadowed.
this is my all time favorite technique: ink the stamp, spritz, stamp! so this is for the Stamping with Shimmer Sprays Challenge over on the Moxie Fab blog. so i inked the left one with Memento Pear Tart ink, spritzed with Smooch Spritz, Pearl, and stamped. the right one is stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves, spritzed and stamped. the center is inked with both colors and then spritzed and stamped. the spritzing gives the illusion of watercoloring because it blends the ink for you. and the great thing about the Smooch Spritz is that is gives this great shimmer!!
i just wish you could see the shimmer! the background paper is SEI, and sentiment is from PTI Fillable Frames.
I combined 2 challenges in this card. MFT's Sketch Challenge and PTI's Make It Monday: Vellum Strip Sentiment Challenge. 
The black/white paper is SEI Black Orchid , and the little circles are the flipside of this paper. The flower is a Violet from PTI's Year of Flowers, the center is colored with a white pencil, and a silver pen.
i am in love with SEI's Dill Blossom paper. i bought the little 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 pad mix. it is textured paper! and feels so nice. the little flower on the envelope is from CTMH.
This card accomplishes 2 things: Sketch Challenge PPA77 over on the Pals Paper Arts blog, & is a sample for my next class.
This is a quick card to help learn masking. The stamps are from Close to my Heart, called Welcome Home. The paper is SEI Chickadoo: Jibber Jabber, and Echo Park: Happy Holidays(brown plaid). The last class lasted a little longer than planned, because coloring takes time. So this one is going to be shorter and much more fun! Hope to you soon!
We had some fun with a Glass Party Pack that I recently found on Etsy. The seller is Annie Howes, and her hand made glass is wonderful! We loved it so much, I bought a few more glass tiles to make a few more necklaces.
The gift box is wrapped with SEI striped paper with a little glam/glitter, and the tag is SEI paper too.
These are the other 2 that I have made for myself. The green/blue/brown one is from some patterned paper.
And this one is a wallpaper for my computer. It was such fun picking all these pics out, and deciding what to do with them.
This is what I made for the Stitching Challenge over on SCS. I used Debbie Olson's Cocoa Holder Template to make this. The striped paper is from SEI and the brown stripes are glittery! I used a ribbon punch across the bottom to "sew" the ribbon into the paper, and the blanket stitch around the white felt is hand sewn too. I also used MFT Die-namics Polka Dot Greetings die and stamp set.
On the inside I did faux stitching with my new Silver gel pen.
And this is a cute little pure innocence girl with her dog(her hair is up in her hat)! And I paper pieced her pants, sweater, and hat, and the dog's scarf.
this is the next class we will be having on Nov 12th, 10:30 and 6 at Scrapbook Haven in Owensboro. we will be making the 3 notebooks above. you should have enough paper left over from the class to make 2 or 3 more of these on your own.
the one on the left is the one we are making, but i wanted to show how this paper can be used differently with different colors. which one do you like best?
and here is the whole group of cards that we will be making on saturday. don't forget to call kim to sign up. ;) 
another card for the Fun in the Sun class on Aug 15th. it again uses the SEI Boathouse stripe. i just had to use the gray satin ribbon, because of the sheen on the paper.
notice i also used the glaze pen on the garden tools to make the metal look shiny.
