I  just love this new MRO set - Joy of Easter! I have just been loving all her new images in our Spring Serendipity - they are all so fun to color.  For this one I went back to those same Pastel Chalks and my dove blender.  I also outlined the image with my grey tombow for added depth.

 

In fact I am thinking this just might be the start of my March Oz-some Card Kit!  With the Buy One Get One FREE on the More Mimi - I just cannot resist including it in the kit this month!   What a great deal! 

February Oz-some Card Kit

Every month I offer a Card kit - and this one is super duper cute!  Using one of my FAV new sets from Serendipity - Cupcake Cuties!  Here is just one of the 4 designs you will get directions for with your kit.

I colored my little cutie with the same pastel chalks and bender pen I have been using all month - loving the soft colors and ease of blending.  I accented the cupcake icing with stickles all over for a little bling!  Check out the rest of the cuties in that set:

Mabelle the desiner of this set ROCKS!  TAC has her designs exclusivley and I am so glad!  I know I will use this one over and over - and never get tired of that cute little kittie!  :-) 

So today for me - I am feeling better - thank goodness!  I was worried I was going to have the flu for the Spaghetti Dinner!  That would not have been good.  I have burger and pies to cook today.  And my house is a pit!  I swear I am the only one who picks up ANYTHING around here!  In fact this morning I heard my husband telling Laney that she left her Q-tips on the floor (she missed the trash in the bathroom).  When I went in to go to the bathroom after everyone had left - there were the q-tips on the floor!  SERIOUSLY!  Sometimes I wonder about these people!

Be sure to check out the great specials we have going on this month!  If you want to book a party let me know - all it takes is $100 in orders to qualify for double hostess benefits!

Juliette and Sprigs Card Kit

Every month I put together a card kit to offer to my customers - and I have not been very good about getting it up here on my blog!  I will try to do better...

This month I used the Juliette Collection as my inspiration.  I also fit this kit into the Embellish Magazines Color challenge although I only used one stripe of ribbon - does the grosgrain of the ribbon count as stripes too?  Check out their blog - they have some great inspirational challenges there.  Our Juliette papers are perfect for this months color challenge with purples and browns as the highlighted colors.   Here is one of the cards that you can make with this kit.

I love the Julilette collections with its soft sultry hues of plums, purples and mauves mixed with deep browns and my ultimate FAV - Kraft!  The Sprigs stamp set had been a challendge for me - but I came up with a fun way to color it (also used on this card) by using a seperate tiny stamp and ink to repeatedly stamp in the colored areas.  For the card kit I used one of the Purchase with Purchase stamps - Lotsa Love to stamp the purple blossom.  there is also a leaf stamp in the set that works perfectly with the leafy sprig!

 T2676 Sprigs stamp set of 5

This card was actually inspired by a TV commercial for internet and cable service! I have been seeing it and was inspired by the color combo and the swirls and layering on the commercial.  The stamps I used are both April stamp specials - the Stamp of the month and one of the Spring into April stamp sets.  They are both on special at great prices so be sure to check them out and get yours!

I am hoping to color Easter Eggs either tonight or tomorrow with the kiddos.   I know Laney and Logan will really get into it - but it will be a challenger to drag DJ into the mix.  I remember last year he basically colored ONE egg.  He sat at the table and put one egg in a cup of color and left it sit there the entire time.  LOL!  I think he also mixed up the colors measuring the vinegar etc.  I guess atleast he was watching and talking with me and L&L, right?

I actually have a few nights OFF this week!  Yahoo!  Last week was crazy - and the week before too.  I am going to enjoy not having to rush rush rush to get things done the rest of this week and hopefully enjoy some quality family time.  Pictures GALORE!   The rest of the month is going to be CRAZY - starting oh about thursday next week.   SO off I go to enjoy some studio time!

April Oz-some Card Kit - Dreamy Damask

I could not resist.  After making my sketch card this week I could not get the Black and Raspberry with Aged Ornaments out of my mind.  It was so YUMMY with the Black and White ribbon pack - and we all know I have a thing for black and white gingham ribbon, right?  Well here is one of the card ideas that is featured in the kit for April...

April Oz-some Card Kit

Aged Ornaments and Just Because stamp sets
10 pre-cut cards in White, Black, and Raspberry cardstocks
Black and White Ribbon pack

4 Oz-some idea sheets with step by step directions and picture of cards

Kit cost $36
(without stamp set $17)

Kit ad ons:
Giga Merchandise Tag punch $22.95
Metal Paper Piercer $3.95

If you would like to order this kit - just e-mail me!   Where did I get that OZ-some label???  That is my latest punch trick!  I cut the sides off the Giga Merchandise tag to create those cool labels - LOVE altering punches I already have to make something even cuter and more versatile.  For the double nded one I just punched the tag top on both ends of a piece os paper and then cut the sides off.

Tonight is Stamping Night Out - I am writing this before I have to leave home to post tonight at midnight or so.   I planned a way way way involved project - hopefully everyone attending survives and still comes back next time!  It was just TOOOOOOOO cute of a project not to do!  Seriously it should be a stamp camp.  Maybe I will post it tomorrow?  Anyone wanna see?

SO this weekend - I am hoping to knock out alot of Round up planning.  My kiddos have friends coming over on sat at 11AM or so and they will be spending the night - so that will be fun... for them maybe!  Hopefully it will be another beautiful day outside so they can go to the park and jump on the trampoline.  Last resort is playing inside!

December Love

This Months Oz-some card kit uses a set out of the Fall Supplement that I fell in LOVE with!  :-)  Seriously it is a really cute set - especially if you just PLAY with it like I got to do yesterday with this kit and the idea sheets.  Here is one of the cards I made with the contents of the December kit (for which you will receive an idea sheet when you purchase a kit)

December Oz-some Card Kit:
T3025 Love Blooms
12 Pre-cut cards in Brown, Kraft, Ivory and Pink 3
B211 Mimi Ribbon
4 idea sheets

$26
Without stamp set $15

I used Pixie Dust, Jumbo Java and Tea Leaves VersaMagic Ink for all the cards - I really like that little trio of colors together!  In fact on one of the cards I left off the Tea Leaves and I do not like it as much as the others.  It adds a nice little contrast.

Just e-mail me if you would like to purchase a kit - With all the specials running right now you can add on some papers from the Buy One Get One special, the Vintage or new winter sets.  It is a great time to spl;urge and spoil yourself!

Last night was Stamping Night Out - oh what FUN!  Those girls really are the highlight of EVERY week for me.  I cherish our friendships and seriously do not know what I would do without their professional counseling efforts!  Thanks ladies!  I made up the coolest box for my demo - and gave it away of course!  Ya and I didn't even get a picture of it!  SO I need to make up another today and get a picture of it to post with a step by step for it.  The girls asked me if I used directions from someone - and no I did not.  I made it up from scratch with just 2 pieces of 12x12 cardstock.  I have seen boxes like it in stores and have made other versions myself from enveleopes before.  But having a Scor-pal made this SO much easier - I just had to give it a try.  You will have to check back on monday to see if I do actually get the stinking thing made and posted.

Today I am playing with my wishblade - cutting out some word books.  Fun stuff I tell you!  It really would make things easier if I used it more than every few months!   I am still not able to load a DXF though - which is really frustrating me as I wanted to help another friend make some really adorable baby books out of cute animal shapes that I scanned in.  If you are interested in a word book of your own - They are $1 per letter - and I can cut them out of White, Brown, Scarlet, or Kraft Cardstock.  Depending on how long your word is letter wise - that determines how tall your book can be.  I can only cut 12" long so if you have more than 7 letters your book will be less than 5.5 inches tall.

Tonight we have a Jazz band concert for my oldest DJ - They do such a neat job with the concerts that I really enjoy them.  They serve desert and punch and have it in a dimly lit room with candles etc.  I never thought I owuld enjoy jazz music but I do!  Now mind you I do not come home and listen to it all day or anything - but I am not miserable at the concerts at least!

Tomorrow is a BIG craft fair in Abilene.  I am excited to be going to have a booth - in conjuntion with some of my girls - Seleise, Dona, Debi and Vicki.  They are doing all things paper and crafty and I will be set up with my button jewelry along side of my mentor Julie!  I am excited to work alongside her - and also to see how people like our pieces.   We have been doing some really cute stuff!  I will be listing more in my etsy shop after this show - and I will let you know when I do.
