Hi Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just trying out this blogging thing again! :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to share some layouts I did this past weekend while attending a fundraising crop in Saskatchewan that was hosted by some amazing breast cancer survivors! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite places to visit every summer is Elbow Falls just west of Calgary. I love exploring along the river and being calmed by the sound of the water as it flows by. So I created these layouts using pictures of one of the many adventures we had there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased this super awesome open sky paper from a gal who was selling Creative Memories at the crop. I thought it would go well with this picture. I used the Up & Away thinlit dies from SUP! (Stampin Up!) to make the clouds, stitching stamps from Prima (edges), random washi tape and a title from a package of laser cut titles that are also Creative Memories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These next couple of layouts were made using Simple Stories wood grain pattern papers (backgrounds) and some beautiful paper I picked up at a new, super cute, scrapbook store in Dalmeny, SK! (Which you really need to check out if you are in the area!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I was being pretty clever wrapping my journaling around the paper blocks. I think it turned out well! :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little popped up embellishments were fussy cut from the pattern paper and I decided against adding a big flashy title because I didn't want to take away from the beauty of the picture.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The title on this last page was again from the Creative Memories pack plus I also bought a package of laser cut borders which I love!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course I had to add in the stitching on the edges (I just can't seem to leave the edges alone! LOL!) and some sequins to embellish!</div>

Good morning fellow crafters!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I start my 10 days in a row working so I wanted to get this post in before I got to distracted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this card this past weekend for one of my cute little nieces that is turning 5. I know it is not a typical little girl card but I known she will like the bling! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The 2 stamps sets I used for this card were Swallowtail and Hello stamp sets from Stampin Up! I know these stamps are no longer available to buy directly from Stampin Up, but if you can find them on a buy/sell group, they are well worth it!<br />
<br />
First I stamped the butterfly in Momento ink (Black Tuxedo), then I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers (BT2, BT4, BT7 and BT9) to color it in. When using alcohol markers, it is important to use the right ink (such as Momento ink) to stamp your image so it doesn't bleed. I then cut out the butterfly to attach to the card. I used dimensional foam adhesive behind the larger wing to give it the look like it is going to fly off the card!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-o78ZBj80mrOoP76t7IMwVhB6FaRJB3RzYoO9-a9wlZo1Gv9NgFQ6r_cWCOlAytXQqsz-XWsjcv-FfWaW-YVVN5lYDMTjOCsvThOYkm72y-Xvs03mxRtgFWcpMVnnRZ523RgtowSlguc/s1600/IMG_0081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1248" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-o78ZBj80mrOoP76t7IMwVhB6FaRJB3RzYoO9-a9wlZo1Gv9NgFQ6r_cWCOlAytXQqsz-XWsjcv-FfWaW-YVVN5lYDMTjOCsvThOYkm72y-Xvs03mxRtgFWcpMVnnRZ523RgtowSlguc/s640/IMG_0081.JPG" width="497" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background was made using Island Indigo ink and stamping the Hello without reinking, which gives the multi shades of the same ink. The "birthday girl" image was stamped using Pool Party ink, then cut out and attached to the card using dimensional foam adhesive. I then used Glossy Accents to give the image an epoxy look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I added some sequins to give it a more blingy look!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To see a detailed video on how the butterfly was colored, watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=I3OYrgkZ-Mk" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I did not use any coloring pencils like she did in the video, just the alcohol markers, but I think it still turned out pretty good!</div>

Well Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems to be that as soon as winter hits, I have time to craft more often! So I just wanted to share these cards I made over the last couple weeks. I was inspired by cards I had seen on Pinterest, so please feel free to go check out my boards to see the original creations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first card was one made using the Softly Falling SUP embossing folder and the Lift Me Up SUP stamps and dies. I changed it from the original a wee bit by brushing the edges of the white and the clouds with Smoky Slate ink. I also used a lighter grey (Smoky Slate) cardstock. The greeting was made using the Birthday Banners SUP stamp set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next card was super fun to make! I used the Oh So Succulent SUP stamp set and dies to create this lovely little pot of succulents. The back ground behind the pot was made using water color paper and Burmuda Bay & Pear Pizzazz SUP inks. I just sprayed the paper with water and then used my aqua painter to brush ink across the front, blending a bit in the middle. After it was somewhat dry I then flicked ink onto the background using the aqua painter to get a spotty look.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This next card has such an elegant feel to it and is made using some of my fave cardstock, Crumb Cake. I embossed the floral image using white embossing powder and added a glitter strip to the side by using white cardstock and Platinum Stickles.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This last card is made using one of my fave color combos! The SUP inks I used were Hello Honey, Island Indigo and a touch of Blackberry Bliss. The SUP stamp sets I used were Gorgeous Grunge and Flowering Fields.</div>

This first card I did for a newly graduated gal that lives down the street from me. It is such an exciting time to realize that your high school journeys are over but new adventures are ahead! I wanted to make something that really showed my excitement for her.<br />

The moment I saw the <b><u>Swirly Scribbles thinlits dies</u></b>, I knew I had to have them! And I must say they are pretty awesome!<br />
<br />
I apologize in advance because a couple of the elements on this card are no longer available, but I really love how the scribbles die looked on this card!<br />

Another of my fave items is the Wink of Stella glitter brushes! They are super easy to use and I love flicking them across my projects to give that glittery splatter effect.<br />
<br />
This next project I made was inspired by a project I pinned on Pinterest. You can check out the original project <a href="http://stampincardsandmemories.blogspot.ca/2016/05/artisan-may-2.html" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">HERE.</a> I just loved the cute little mini magazine holder and the soft colors!<br />
<br />

<br />
Using this <b><u><a href="http://inkingidaho.blogspot.ca/2008/08/mini-magazine-tote-tutorial.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a></u></b>, I was able to easily make the mini holder.<br />
<br />

<br />
To make the cards I used one of the new hostess stamp sets, Gift of Love, and Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set. The ink is Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party<br />
<br />
To create the little flower on the outside of the holder, I used the little flower die from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits dies and whisper white cardstock. I then inked them using the Pear Pizzazz ink and a sponge.<br />

I hope your day is starting like mine, beautiful and sunny! This is going to be a quick post this morning. I just wanted to share this card I created for my cousins upcoming wedding using a couple of the retiring items from the Stampin Up! catalog.<br />
<br />
To check out all the retiring items, click H<b><u><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=110700" target="_blank">ERE</a></u></b>!<br />
<br />
I found a stunning card on <b><u><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/caylagaudet/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a></u></b>to use as inspiration and I just loved how it turned out!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEharb6f7r6Ypr54k3iZhppm2sO1bzd8_dXo3SA0sCAzshVfKfI7SaaGWtlpZzhlFOeLkKUfN8OU_SIC2_lIvzkMO8rNs0WojutE9UlYuHbkm75lH1WHUzVoBTmGuxRUlMDgDYmJBIom6Vk/s1600/IMG_4380.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEharb6f7r6Ypr54k3iZhppm2sO1bzd8_dXo3SA0sCAzshVfKfI7SaaGWtlpZzhlFOeLkKUfN8OU_SIC2_lIvzkMO8rNs0WojutE9UlYuHbkm75lH1WHUzVoBTmGuxRUlMDgDYmJBIom6Vk/s320/IMG_4380.JPG" width="184" /></a></div>
<br />
I stamped the flowers using the Blended Bloom stamp and Hello Honey ink. I then cut them out using different petals to cut around to get the flowers in different sizes.<br />
<br />
The band around the front of the card is made using vellum, white card stock that I stamped a scripty image on and some Natural 7/8" Cotton Ribbon (which can be found in the discontinued section).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtE19czFrKfctUfNZQdjt4mhfHMo-VPPuVFH4wQXomuE4D-4SeyjNyIsCcofwg-t-zja1ijiu5xaFC0JIkA46UOwiB7TZ60Wxd1Io_N46cQcI1pSiGqxxeU86dGqZBUlIBmu_yhxXO9o/s1600/IMG_4379.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtE19czFrKfctUfNZQdjt4mhfHMo-VPPuVFH4wQXomuE4D-4SeyjNyIsCcofwg-t-zja1ijiu5xaFC0JIkA46UOwiB7TZ60Wxd1Io_N46cQcI1pSiGqxxeU86dGqZBUlIBmu_yhxXO9o/s320/IMG_4379.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I then attached the flowers and some gold sequin trim. The little tag sentiment was made using one of the sentiment from the Beautiful Ride stamp set and inking around the edges.<br />

The band slides off and you can see the soft white hearts I used to decorate the card front using the Hearts decorative mask, Whisper White ink and sponge daubers. I then added a couple of gold sequins that I had pulled off the gold sequin trim.<br />
<br />
On the inside of the card I added another stamped flower and gold sequin. I also left plenty of space to add a personal message to my cousin and her new husband.<br />

I love using white or kraft cardstock for my card bases and choose color palettes that are soft or monochromatic.<br />

But what do I do then with all these bright, bold colors I have in my cardstock stash??</div>

The bright pink in this card is soooooo not my style and I really had to push myself to finish it and not run away crying! Lol! Once I was done, thanks to some Pinterest inspiration, I felt pretty proud of myself! But it still seemed to be missing something...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yup, that's better! I grabbed my fine-tip marker and added some faux stitching to finish the look!</div>

The sentiment was a wee bit disappointing. When stamping onto vellum, it can be a bit tricky. I used my Jet Black StazOn ink so that it would not smear off, but you have to be careful not to press to hard or your stamp will slide and you get a smudged image. So the next time I try stamping on vellum, I think I will use a stamp that is not quite so solid so I get a cleaner look.</div>
<div>

<div>
I would love to hear from you! What colors do you gravitate towards? Are you a scaredy cat like me or do you embrace the bright and bold?</div>

We have had to make a lot of adjustments when we moved, had to support my daughter through some pretty scary moments and lately my husband's health has been very concerning. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">But one thing I am thankful for is that we are all together. We are facing the challenges and supporting each other. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I am also thankful for the close friends and family that have listened when I needed an ear and, when I needed to hear it, gave me the reassurance that I was doing the best I could at being a parent and a wife.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In keeping with the thankful theme this morning, I've created these three Thank You cards...</div>

As part of a challenge this week I had to create a clean and simple Thank You card. It took me three tries to achieve that and this is attempt #1. As you can see, not so simple! Lol!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I used a blending tool with Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana ink to get an ombré effect for the background. I also added a hint of So Saffron ink to the background as well to tie in with the yellow title. I stamped the flower in Real Red ink then using my aqua painter I colored it in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I didn't have the right color cardstock to cut the title so I just used my blending tool again with So Saffron ink and turned white cardstock into the right color before die cutting. You could always die cut first then color but I was thinking that this particular piece would be too delicate to color after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Attempt #2 wasn't quite as complicated but still took a bit of effort to stamp the Thank You's straight and at the same width apart. (I really just eyeballed it and lucked out that they were all straight! Lol)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The background was using my blending tool again with Bermuda Bay ink and then to get the "dirty" looking spots, I just added some Sahara Sand ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Attempt #3... Very simple! I stamped the background using So Saffron and Sahara Sand ink. Then stamped the Thank You with Coastal Cabana ink and cut it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yup, super simple! I kept wanting to add more but I resisted the urge! Lol! </div>

We have had such beautiful weather here that it makes it hard to remember that it's winter! It is definitely in complete contrast to the east side of Canada! I'm sure we will pay for this weather at some point but I'll just enjoy it for now! :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To match this spring-like weather, I decided to make a light, sunny card! I used a few of my new favorite SUP! items that come to my doorstep recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love crafty mail!</div>

I used the <b>Striped Scallop die</b> to add texture to the background and the <b>Cups & Kettle</b> <b>dies</b> to cut the tea cup out. The <b>A Nice Cuppa stamp set</b> has the soooo super cute tea bag stamp that I just love!! I then stapled a piece of<b> Linen Thread</b> to it to finish the look!<br />
<br />

<br />
The teacup was made using a specialty resist paper that I got as part of Sale-a-bration last year, but to duplicate the look is super easy! Here are the steps you can do to create your own resist paper:<br />
<ol>
<li> Cut your tea cup out of white cardstock.</li>
<li>Stamp a pattern onto your tea cup using Versa Mark ink.</li>
<li>Cover image with clear or white embossing powder and heat set.</li>
<li>Using a sponge applicator, distress your tea cup with your favorite color of ink.</li>
</ol>

When I am stressed or anxious about something, which seems a lot these days, I will bury myself in craftiness and all of the crap just melts away! And the last 14 months have been downright crappy!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lately I was told that I needed to find and do the things that create happiness. That I needed to find time for me and do the things I love. I will give you one guess where my happy place is? Crafting of course! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I have decided that I need to start creating more and posting on my blog again! Crafting is the easy part! Finding the time to blog is always a challenge! But I promise to do my best!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shortly after I moved here, I was introduced to a lovely Stampin' Up! lady, Allison. I quickly joined her monthly stamp club and I love it! I have felt that for at least one night a month I could get together with other crafty ladies and enjoy myself. Allison saw how much I enjoyed creating (and how much I spent! Lol) and told me about an amazing deal that Stampin' Up! has on right now for anyone signing up to be a demonstrator. Of course I took advantage of the deal, I was spending the money anyway right! I got a whack load of product for a super price and I get 20% all my future purchases! Wahooo for me! :D</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I created this card today using some of my new and lovely Stampin'Up! goodies! Let me know what you think!<br />

I have decided that my days definitely need more hours in them! Either that or I need to stop sleeping! Lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a long while since I had the chance to do some crafting, but I recently made a large purchase and I am now the proud owner of a Big Shot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am hoping to finally be able to use a die that I had bought that was just a smidgen to wide for my Cuttlebug! Lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also received 4 new Stampin Up! stamp sets and I got to play with them this morning! Here are two cards that I created.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_IUbcAF8nwOl3SFSopt7uKxx4uUnkJ5dlbvph58mqMcuu0JGH1oWkSx5nVWJnFPWjqR-qy3i2bvED7rGiJpVvK7eKR8P_c61si-vQp4oyvC__cIxN8uRzkJkMUtFiva-ePqzzfq0909E/s1600/flower+%2526+leaves+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_IUbcAF8nwOl3SFSopt7uKxx4uUnkJ5dlbvph58mqMcuu0JGH1oWkSx5nVWJnFPWjqR-qy3i2bvED7rGiJpVvK7eKR8P_c61si-vQp4oyvC__cIxN8uRzkJkMUtFiva-ePqzzfq0909E/s400/flower+%2526+leaves+1.jpg" width="332" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first card I made using the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and a flower from the Best of Flowers set. While spending some quality time on Pinterest the other day, I noticed quite a few cards that had black stamping against softer colors. I loved the look! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3w5QC-b1JHHSSEBedAjN92yiagSsvMfCfWKwSr0rL0nK4fL1ZV1q9R-CG3k2TEkmi27bW6ANRemsI2qEJe1AFrLcuW64uw7FqFawDxWEIjha_ULCUI2qwKWu3B_gqmbsWRNhFNzR9ckg/s1600/flower+%2526+leaves+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3w5QC-b1JHHSSEBedAjN92yiagSsvMfCfWKwSr0rL0nK4fL1ZV1q9R-CG3k2TEkmi27bW6ANRemsI2qEJe1AFrLcuW64uw7FqFawDxWEIjha_ULCUI2qwKWu3B_gqmbsWRNhFNzR9ckg/s400/flower+%2526+leaves+2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I had to add some sequins!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__CZmYZlg7DXhurQZ2XL4RsmfVF3MeIZULoUec8YTu5LuV2izr7GybzpwNEAbI7lio9ZBnhMxIcEklKdyALgsu3owB8I976x2NEHrFNYqLUWqyXeQgLoa0SaBXxp8Dw6Olyfq9jHT-Qc/s1600/flower+%2526+leaves+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__CZmYZlg7DXhurQZ2XL4RsmfVF3MeIZULoUec8YTu5LuV2izr7GybzpwNEAbI7lio9ZBnhMxIcEklKdyALgsu3owB8I976x2NEHrFNYqLUWqyXeQgLoa0SaBXxp8Dw6Olyfq9jHT-Qc/s400/flower+%2526+leaves+3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the flower three times in the blue ink and once in the green ink. I then fussy cut them out and stacked them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kQdN3iHeHWyAMdZZ9JK_Tb9Fb0lRYRrgluc2vyZSlP_BQwElJQzjJHHGun0cf6pLK4GVt83ywxmvOiH8bZMSf5GgkLGPgU8JHe56sr4uY3HnCR4xT0Z46V_JT8lkXs9WeLEjUyeDY1k/s1600/for+you+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kQdN3iHeHWyAMdZZ9JK_Tb9Fb0lRYRrgluc2vyZSlP_BQwElJQzjJHHGun0cf6pLK4GVt83ywxmvOiH8bZMSf5GgkLGPgU8JHe56sr4uY3HnCR4xT0Z46V_JT8lkXs9WeLEjUyeDY1k/s400/for+you+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next card was basically the same idea as the first, in the same color scheme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create the background, I rubbed my two ink colors over an embossing folder, spritzed it with water, then laid a piece of watercolor paper over it and pressed down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once my watercolor paper was dry, I stamped my black images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_jfbZmvCe-Q5VeiFwgZrIPjf6560I_mJB4C-YPhT14vKcoR_PH2cKxIfLUcFOHSV_RPzc4DxkdJ0-ZjrP__6rlJb5325Ao1g8dUq5eaMNoslj6tuFBfWzuiTOa-N608BzKcjEKcenPs/s1600/for+you+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_jfbZmvCe-Q5VeiFwgZrIPjf6560I_mJB4C-YPhT14vKcoR_PH2cKxIfLUcFOHSV_RPzc4DxkdJ0-ZjrP__6rlJb5325Ao1g8dUq5eaMNoslj6tuFBfWzuiTOa-N608BzKcjEKcenPs/s400/for+you+2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamps I used for this card were the sentiment from the Forever Florals set and the rest from the Butterfly Basics set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The ink colors I used were Tim Holtz Distress ink pads (Broken China & Shabby Shutters) and my Jet Black StazOn ink pad.</div>

Hello everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to try to keep my words down to a minimum because lately I have gone on a card blitz, so I have quite a few cards I want to put in this post!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lets just get right to it shall we!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
:D<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
I loved making this first card!<br />
I have gone crazy buying all the new Stampin Up products from the <b><a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2014-2015/2015_occasions/20150106_Occasions_en-CA.pdf" target="_blank">Occasions catalog</a></b>! This butterfly die and the larger butterfly stamp came from those products.<br />

This next card was inspired by a card a saw on Pinterest (actually all the cards you will see here today are inspired, if not downright copied, by cards I saw while spending "quality time" on Pinterest! :D)</div>

<b>Technique:</b> To get the ombre look behind the Chevron, I first took one of the 4.25" x 5.5" white cardstock pieces. Starting with the darkest color and using a sponge dauber, I applied ink to the right top side, working down. Then I took the next shade and applied the ink, blending up into the darker shade. I repeated this step with the lightest shade, closest to the bottom. I then took the second 4.25" x 5.5" white cardstock piece, punched the chevron pattern and placed it over top. Lastly, I adhered the whole piece to the card front.<b> Practice on scrap paper till you get the hang of doing the ombre!</b></div>

<b>Technique</b>: I have said this before I know, but I love when I can find more than one way to use a tool! To get this patterned background, I took my embossing folder and spread my Ranger Distress ink over it. I didn't apply ink evenly but pressed harder in some areas and lightly skipped over other areas. I then LIGHTLY misted the inked embossing folder with water. The "lightly" part is important, because if you use too much water your ink with just run all over the place! I then placed my paper in the embossing folder and pressed down! I didn't even run it through my machine, although you totally could do that to give it more dimension & texture! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The reason I used the Ranger Distress Ink is because the ink is designed to react with water in a fantastic way! So you get some really cool watermark effects without the colors separating! YouTube has some great videos on Rangers Distress Inks, so check them out!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Technique</b>: When using alcohol based markers such as Spectrum Noir, Copics, Stampin Up Blendibilites, etc, you want to use a fast drying, water based ink like Memento ink. That way as you are coloring in your image, the outline is not bleeding into the areas you are coloring with the markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To color the pear, I chose two shades of yellow (dark & medium) and started by outlining the image with the dark color. I then went in filling in the image using the medium color making sure to work in a circular motion, blending the two colors together. I left a white spot in the top left corner and used the blender pen that I had purchased with one of the Spectrum sets, to blend the edges of the spot so there was no defined lines. <b>Practice this technique on scrap paper to get the hang of blending with alcohol based markers.</b></div>

Woot! Woot! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only one more week and then I get to make that borrrrrrring 6 hour drive back to Saskatchewan to come scrap with some of my crafty peeps! I am soooooo excited!!! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been looking forward to this trip for months now and I would drive half way around the world to be at this crop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not going to be fancy or have big time, headliner scrapbook designer people there... but it will have some of the nicest ladies I have ever met, good homemade food and a whole lot of laughs! So I wouldn't dream of missing it for the world! :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been to this crop every year for the atleast the last 5 years (maybe more) as a store rep, but this year I am going just as myself and I get to play! :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yayayayayayay!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But of course I was thinking I needed to be doing something a little extra for my good friend Lana, who is the one putting on the show with her lovely ladies from the Langham Library (this is a fundraiser crop to raise money for their local library!) So I started gathering a few things and may have put together a beautiful prize basket to donate! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here is a little sneaky peak, but only a little one! I don't want to spoil the surprise!</div>

</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Round the corners of the black cardstock piece using the corner rounder.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Stamp the background of the black cardstock using the Whisper White ink. I love this ink but it takes FOREVER to dry (if it ever dries), hence the heat gun. Use the heat gun until the ink is dry but be careful not to hold it in one place for too long!!! You can burn the ink and turn it brown! The heat gun is also hot enough to start the paper on fire, also another good reason NOT to hold it in one place for to long! :D</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Adhere the black cardstock to your card front using the foam adhesive. (I love dimension!)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Trim your coral cardstock piece to make the banner.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Stamp the zig zag pattern using black StazOn ink (Any other black ink will do too. I just love my StazOn. :D )</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Tie some of the dark coral twine around the banner and make a bow.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Adhere the banner to the cardfront using the foam adhesive. (Yay! More dimension!)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Using the Glossy accents and tweezers, add some sequins to your card. Again, there are other adhesives that would work to adhere the sequins, so use what you like best!)</li>

Good evening! I hope you all had a fabulous and Merry Christmas and are ready to bring in the New Year!! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the best Christmas ever! For the first time in 11 years I got to wake up on Christmas morning in my own bed and host my very own Christmas dinner in our new house! Well to be truthful, I had the guests bring the turkey! But trust me, that was for the best! Lol! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really did miss spending Christmas with my husbands family though, my mother n' law really does spoil us! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The couple of weeks leading up to Christmas got right crazy and hectic, so I didn't quite get everything crafty accomplished that I had wanted too. I took on a couple extra shifts at work and by the time I got home each day, I was just too darn lazy! But the last couple days have been really nice and quiet and I finally found some time to spend how I pleased! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would like to say that I was super productive and got lots accomplished... but that would be a horrible lie! Lol! But I did get this layout done! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The paper I used for this layout was the <b><a href="http://www.g45papers.com/products/typography-category" target="_blank">Typography</a></b> collection from <b>Graphic 45</b>. When I first saw the photos <b><a href="http://papergirlcrafts.blogspot.ca/2013/06/pleased-to-introduce.html" target="_blank">Ivana</a></b> had taken, I would not have guessed I would be using such a vintage looking paper, but this line just worked perfectly with these photos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some embellishment I used included:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Stampin Up washi tape</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Teresa Collins washi tape</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Studio Calico cork chevron arrows</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Basic Grey alpha/journaling stickers</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Maya Road camera transparency piece</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Misc twine</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The "Inspire" quote and "alphabet card" were pieces I cut directly from the Graphic 45 paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create the banner, I tore various pieces of washi tape off their roles. I then wrapped them around the twine. I left them with the rough edges but you could easily trim them to give them a cleaner, tidier look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used 3-D foam dimensional adhesive on the alpha letter stickers to make them stand out a bit more and I did all my journaling along the white cardstock strips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used the foam adhesive on the camera transparency piece. You can't tell though because I used black ones and they are hidden so nicely!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow I return to work but I am super excited for the end of the month to come! In just a few short weeks I get to go hang out with my scrappy SK peeps for an annual library fundraising event in Langham! I have attended this crop every year for the last 4 or 5 years now but never as someone who just gets to play!! I have always gone representing a store, so I am really looking forward to the crop this year and hanging out with all you crafty ladies!! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I'll have some more projects to show off! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year!</div>

Welcome Everyone!!<br />
<br />
If you have arrived here from <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.prairiepaperhaven.com/blogs/november-christmas-card-blog-hop" target="_blank">Jodie's</a></b> </span>wonderful blog, then you have come from the right place!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
December seems to be a stressful time for a lot of people and really, it's no different for me. Usually by this time of year I have atleast half, if not all of my gift shopping done, but not this year! With having started a new job and still trying to get in our groove of living in a new city with a new routine, I feel a little behind. Which is why I am feeling extremely grateful that I had the foresight to start making Christmas cards way back in August and also that I had made way to many cards last year, so I still have plenty left over! Lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am going to share a couple with you today! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This stamp set makes me giggle everytime I see it! I just bought this set from Stampin Up and I love it! Santa in his long underwear, how cute can you get! :D </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought this set thinking it would be perfect for making Christmas cards for my crazy family and because I was on Pinterest (Surprise! Surprise!) and saw these cute cards made by this crafty gal. You can check out her blog to see what she created and to see where I got my inspiration! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She did a way better job coloring in her Santa's because I think I need to go back to kindergarten and re-learn to color inside the lines! Lol! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I of course changed up my card a bit and used some different products. I wish I had the stars embossing folder she used for the background of her card (and it's definitely on my very long wish list! :D) but I decided to use a Tim Holtz embossing folder instead. I also opted out of punching a scalloped border piece and decided to use up some of my washi tape to make a fun border.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This next card was one that I pulled out of my "last year's" stash! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a super easy card to make and was a great way to use up some scraps! The greeting was stamped using a Stampin Up set but I honestly don't remember the name of the set right now and I think it is a retired set anyway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The snowmen stamp is also an old stamp I had from Inkadinkadoo I believe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These next two cards are some of my fave cards to make and may look complicated but I find they are a very relaxing thing to do!</div>

I started embroidering on paper almost 10 years ago after taking a class at my LSS and I was hooked! It was such a unique way to make such a beautiful card to send to a special person and I found it to be so relaxing and kind of meditating! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband and I used to spend MANY weekends driving back and forth between Calgary and Saskatoon. And when I say many weekends, I mean every second or third weekend for two or three years. So ya, a lot of driving. And for any of you who haven't driven that hi-way, I can tell you it is sooooooooooooooo boring! So when I learned this new paper crafting technique, I found that it was a great way to pass the time in the car while my husband was driving but we could still have conversations!</div>

I won't lie to you, these cards are definitely more time consuming, but the how-to is not difficult and the end result is gorgeous and unique! Any receiver would be thrilled to get a card like this!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well if you have arrived here from <a href="http://www.prairiepaperhaven.com/blogs/halloween-blog-hop" target="_blank">Jody's Blog</a> for this awesome Halloween Blog hop, then you have come from the right place! If you want to start from the beginning head <a href="http://www.prairiepaperhaven.com/blogs/halloween-blog-hop" target="_blank">HERE</a> first then come on back! At the end of my post there will be a list of all the links in order for the hop!<br />
<br />
I always have mixed emotions when the end of October comes! On the one hand, I hate that winter is just around the corner and that the snow will be coming at any moment, because I really dislike being cold. But on the other hand, I love Halloween! It is so much fun helping my kids get all dressed up in their costumes! This year I am a little sad though because I think my oldest has decided not to dress up! (Wahhhhh! I'm not ready!)<br />
She was the one that always had awesome costume ideas!<br />

This first project is a paper "treat" bag. Pretty simple project that I made by cutting pieces of black, purple and orange cardstock that fit the front of the bag. I find that paper bags vary by company in sizes, so you just have to measure your bags to get the measurements. I used a border punch on the edges of the purple piece and ran the orange piece through my<b> Cuttlebug</b> to give it an embossed textured. The embossing folder I used was by<b> Cuttlebug</b> and was called <b>Spots & Dots</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make the cute little characters, I first stamped the images using stamps I purchased years ago from <b>Micheals</b> onto white cardstock and then colored them in using good old <b>Crayola pencil crayons! </b><i>(And by the way, I am not convinced that the little dracula looks right in purple! I was originally going to leave him with a white face but that didn't look right either!)</i> I then cut them out and adhered them to the front of the bag. I then stamped the sentiment onto a white cardstock strip, colored it and cut the end to form the banner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish everything off, I used my fine <b>tip black sharpie</b> to draw stitching, punched some holes through the top of the bag (that was folded over) and added some ribbon & fibers to hold the bag closed! Now all I have to do is fill the bag with some goodies and hand it over to one sweet little girl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Of course I don't know about you, but whenever I try to do something that I see on Pinterest, it rarely looks the same! This was no exception. I think because I tried to use chocolate bars that I knew the person I was giving them to was going to like, but the wrappers just didn't look the greatest! One way to fix this I think, is to wrap the bars in cardstock before wrapping it with the crepe streamer paper (which is what I used). They are still cute and it's still chocolate, so score all around!</div>

I just loved these little guys! They are soooooo super adorable! I did improvise alittle because I don't have a couple of the tools she used.<br />

To make the tops, the original used a Stampin Up! punch (which would have made it super easy and quick), but my way worked too! I used some of my dies and followed <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.toocoolstamping.com/toocoolstamping/2012/02/create-a-fancy-framelit-border.html" target="_blank"><b>THIS</b></a></span> tutorial. I measured the width of my die and cut a piece of cardstock to the same width and a length of 8.5". I cut both ends using the die and then scored at 4.5" from each end. (You could also score before you punch the ends, it doesn't matter which order you do that step.) </div>

It is hard to tell in the picture, but I used lots of <b>3L foam adhesive</b> to give dimension to the elements on the page. I also added a metal skull and cross bones embellishment that I've held onto for years, just waiting for that perfect project. I'm sure you wouldn't know what that's like! Lol!</div>

<br />
I can't believe it's the middle of September already! It seems my family and I have been on many adventures in the past few months and they have flown by! We have all settled in nicely (including the nasty little skunk under the front step) and we are loving the new house! The kids have all started their new schools and despite the rough start my oldest daughter Danielle had into high school, she is slowly starting to make friends and enjoy it (although she will never admit it! Lol!)<br />

I have also started to make some new crafty friends!<br />
But don't worry Saskatoon, I could never replace you! You will always be my first! My heart is big enough for you all! And by the way, Congrats Lori on THINK PINK #5! I was very sad to have missed it this year but it sounds like it was a huge success! My Lovely friend Theresa made sure my hand-self made an appearance for pics! Lol!<br />

Even though I was unable to go to the crop in Delmany, I did get invited to another event here in Calgary by a friend of mine. It was a <b>Stampin Up Bingo Night</b> put on by <b><a href="http://www.nicepeoplestamp.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Allison Okamitsu</a></b> who is a very lovely <b>Stampin up demonstrator</b>! You can check out her blog <a href="http://www.nicepeoplestamp.blogspot.ca/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span>I had a very lovely time on Friday night, so much so that I went back on Sunday afternoon to check out her monthly club group! Nothing like forcing myself into the local crafty community! Lol! It was a very warm and inviting atmosphere! It reminded me of all you lovely crafty people back in Saskatoon and of all the fun events at the studio! That's the best part about the crafty community, it's like being apart of a warm & welcoming family!<br />
<br />
Now I haven't gotten to the best part yet!<br />
I had lucky horseshoes stuck somewhere cause I just happened to have won the mother of all prizes on Friday night! With my one little Bingo card I won over $200 worth of Stampin up goodies!<br />
The first half of the prize was a package of the <b>Stampin Up line called All Is Calm</b>. This package included:<br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135823" target="_blank"> All Is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper</a><br />
All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishments<br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135844" target="_blank">All Is Calm Designer Washi Tape</a><br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135835" target="_blank">Frosted Sequins Embellishments</a><br />
Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta Ribbon<br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135876" target="_blank">On Point Textured Impressions Embossing Folder</a><br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135143" target="_blank">Letterpress Winter Clear Stamp Set</a><br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=136565" target="_blank">Wintertime Wood Stamp Set</a><br />
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135014" target="_blank">Good Greetings Cling Stamp Set</a><br />
<br />
Plus when I had with my registration fee I had already received the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=138089" target="_blank">Holiday Cheer Project Life Clear Stamp Set</a> and a package of cardstock for cardmaking!<br />
<br />
So then the second part of the grand prize was that I got to spend over $100 on an order from the <b><a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2014-2015/NA/20140602_AnnualCatalog_en-CA.pdf" target="_blank">Stampin' Up! Catalogue</a></b>!!!! When Allison told me that part I nearly got up and hugged her! Lol!<br />
I was almost afraid I was going to get boo'ed out of the room though! Here comes this new girl and she takes home the best prize! Way-da-go Cayla, that's how you make new friends! Well atleast they won't forget me, right? Lol!<br />

In the last year I have not had a whole lot of time to be creative as some of you may know. I went back to school last September and studied my butt off for 10 months, then with the move and getting my kids settled, there just hasn't been alot of crafty time! So of course when I brought all this crafty goodness home with me I just HAD to play with it! Right? Right! So this is what I made...<br />

For this card I used a <b>5.5" x 8.5"</b> piece of white card stock (folded in half) and covered the front with a <b>4.25" x 5.5"</b> pce of pattern from the pkg of paper I got. I stamped the <b>"Season's Greetings"</b> sentiment using<b> Iced Spruce Distress ink</b> and the fancy border using <b>Jet Black StazOn ink</b>. I added some <b>Silver Stickles</b> glitter accents to the fancy border (sorry, it's hard to tell in the pic.) I fussy cut out the sentiment piece and used <b>3L Foam Adhesive </b>to adhere it to the card front. I stuck strips of the <b>washi tape</b> to the top and bottom edges of the card and then tied some plain <b>white embossing thread</b> several times around the top of the card. To add some security to the bow I put a dab of <b>Tombow liquid glue </b>behind the knot to hold it down.</div>

This card is made from a piece of<b> 4.25" x 11"</b> <b>Kraft cardstock</b> (folded in half.) I stamped the border along the left side using <b>Broken China Distress ink </b>then tore strips of <b>washi tape</b> to stick to the card. I tied the bow using the lovely <b>Lost Lagoon ribbon</b> I got and adhered it using <b>Tombow liquid glue</b>. I also used the <b>Tombow liquid glue</b> to adhere the<b> snowflake sequins</b>. I then stamped the sentiment using the <b>Broken China Distress ink</b>. Easy Peasy!!</div>

<b>Tip</b>: I find that sometimes washi tapes don't always stay stuck down. So I find it helpful to take my bonefolder and press it over the washi tape. </div>

<br />
I used a <b>5.5" x 8.5"</b> <b>white cardstock</b> piece for this card (folded in half) and cut a piece of <b>pattern paper</b> that is <b>5.25" x 4"</b> and adhered it to the front. I then cut a piece of <b>white cardstock</b> that is <b>5" x 3.75" </b>and adhered this to the front and drew on my stitches with the <b>silver gel pen</b>. I stamped the sentiment with the <b>Broken China Distress ink</b> and adhered the <b>sequins</b> with the <b>Tombow </b>adhesive. Another super easy card done!<br />
<br />
<b>Tip</b>: To add a little something more to this card, I might see if I have some matching blue beads I could adhere to the centers of the sequins!<br />

So this card as you can see has a little more to it and is a little larger than the rest. First I cut a piece of <b>pattern paper</b> that is <b>12" x 6"</b> and folded it in half. On the inside (which you can't see) I cut a piece of <b>white cardstock</b> that is <b>5.75" x 5.75" </b>and adhered it. This will give me something to write on. Next I cut another piece of <b>pattern paper</b> that is <b>5.75" x 5.75"</b> and roughed up the edges a bit with my scissors (or you could use a paper distresser if you've got one). I then adhered this to my card front. I cut another <b>pattern paper piece</b> that is <b>2" x 6" </b>and used the <b>border punch</b> along the one edge. I then adhered the piece to the card using the <b>foam adhesive</b> for dimension. I cut a <b>0.25" x 6"</b> piece from <b>white cardstock</b> and stamped the border using <b>Shabby Shutters Distress ink</b> and adhered it to the card. To make the ornament, I stamped one of the <b>Mosaic stamps</b> 6 times onto <b>white cardstock</b> using <b>Broken China Distress ink</b> (use 3 Mosaic stamps per ornament.) Cut out each stamped image (or use the coordinating punch like I did) and fold them exactly in half length wise. You are then going to put glue on half of the back of one of them and stick it to a half of another. (gosh that's confusing! Hopefully the pics below will make more sense!) In the end you will have three stuck together.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Step 1</b>: Fold 3 ornaments in half<br />
<b>Step 2</b>: Put glue on the back of one but only on half of it<br />
<b>Step 3</b>: Stick to another ornament piece<br />
<b>Step 4</b>: Put glue on the back half of ornament<br />
<b>Step 5</b>: Adhere third ornament piece<br />
<b>Step 6</b>: Put glue on the entire back of ornament and adhere to card<br />
<br />
Repeat for second ornament.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>revised: I actually found a quick little video that shows a similar technique that may help you understand what I was trying to do with this card, incase you weren't following what I was trying to explain. :D</b></span><br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j7oqn2d8jQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j7oqn2d8jQ</a><br />
<br />
<br />
So after I had my ornaments adhered to my card, I tied bows in my twine and adhered them to my card with the <b>Tombow</b> glue. I them stamped my sentiment using <b>Jet Black StazOn</b> <b>ink</b>.<br />
<br />
So ya, this card was a little more work but the dimension, it turned out to be super cute!<br />
<br />
So those were the cards I made using the awesome Stampin Up goodies I got on Friday. I also wanted to give you a quick look at a couple of other cute cards I created last week.<br />
In Calgary we had some horrible weather and got completely dumped on by snow. I wanted to cry and pack up my family and come running back to Saskatoon. But it made me think of Christmas and how maybe this year I could for once be prepared! So I created some more lovely Christmas cards!<br />

Well it's been awhile, I know, but I have had alot happen in the last 10 months! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In September (2013), as you may know, I went back to school to become a Pharmacy Technician. Well I have finally completed the course and graduated! Wahoooooo! That was probably the longest 10 months of my life and the hardest too! In my opinion, being a parent is way easier then that course was! Lol! But I survived and am quite proud of myself for sticking to it! I met so many great people in the course and already miss them all!</div>

Another great adventure that my family has taken has been to pack up our lives and move! Not only did we switch houses, but also cities and provinces! We are now living in our beautiful new home in Calgary, Alberta! It was an exciting and terrifying decision to make but so far it has felt like the right one! Oh, and having a moving company come and do all the hard work... best decision EVER! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now since moving and being an unemployed bum (have to write some extra exams in order to work in AB), I find that I have some spare time! What does this mean?... More time to scrap! Yippppeeeeee! </div>

So due to the fact that I am moving to Calgary in July, I realized that my annual Burn Fund crop was just not going to happen this year! Boooooooo! But what was I supposed to do with all the goodies I had been collecting for the crop?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to host an online auction this past Friday & Saturday and it was a HUGE success! With a couple days prep, I had everything photographed and ready to upload! Because I had already started an event on Facebook, I decided that that would be the best place to hold my auction. So by 4pm on Friday, I had uploaded photos of 30+ prizes and the bidding wars began!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this little online auction, so I set my expectations at around $500. Well I should have known that my scrappy pals would blow right past that dollar mark! It is always so inspiring to see the generosity in others! Makes me so proud to be a part of such a caring community!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 24-hours that the auction lasted was the funnest I had had in a while! I had a few "LOL" moments as I watched all the friendly competition unfold! :D It was quite difficult to step away from the action and attend to homework! My husband sent me a few glares and tried to pry me away from the computer but I just had to watch it all! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, the auction came and went and I was able to raise just over $1100!!! Wahoooooooo! I'm quite excited to give the guys at the fire hall a call and tell them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with all the items I was auctioning off, I also put together 30 lootbags which I sold. For those of you that purchased the lootbags, here is a sample of the mini project that was included as well as the template for making the envelope.</div>

To make these layouts, I used sketches from the Page Maps website. This is a fantastic place to find inspiration for your layouts! To go to the Page Maps website click <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>. Once you are on the home page, you can click at the top on "pagemaps" and you will be taken to a page with every month and year. Click on a month and you will then be taken to a page that shows a page map and an example that goes with it. It is the handiest thing ever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also click on the "pdf archives" found on the right side of the screen on the home page. This takes you to the same menu type deal where you can select a month. Once you select a month it will take you to a page that is filled with page maps. You can then print that pdf which is also super handy for taking to crops and such! This is what I used to do my layouts. </div>

Wow! Could it be? Could I have actually found some time to post?? Yup! I should be studying for an exam I am taking tomorrow, but whatever! LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you that have been wondering whatever happened to me, I started a full time program at the local college. And like a good, diligent student, I have done nothing but eat, sleep and breath my studies! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nope, there has been no time to do the things I love, which is mostly just scrapbooking! But I decided that this weekend, since there was an extra day off, that I would devote a day to me! YYYAAAYYYYY! So I went to the store and spent the day scrappin with my bestest buddy Theresa! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Well my kids are eagerly counting down the days until summer break starts! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though it will be a bitter sweet moment for my daughter, as she will be heading off to high school next fall, she is still anxious to be done for the summer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just looking forward to spending some daytime with the kids, not having to worry about getting up for school in the morning and not having to make school lunches! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well to pass the time until that last school bell rings, I have been doing a little scrapbooking with some of the new papers we have been getting in at the store. And thanks to the newest team member at the store, <b>Sandra</b>, I also now have a little more time as well! :D</div>

This first layout it using the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.kaisercraft.com.au/newsite/collections.php?col=96" target="_blank"><b>"On This Day"</b></a> </span>collection by<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.kaisercraft.com.au/newsite/index.php" target="_blank"><b>Kaiser Crafts</b></a></span>. It is a gorgeous line and this is the 4th layout I have done with the papers. Actually, this layout was done with nothing but the leftover scraps from the first 3 layouts I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to take pictures of those layouts and put them on the blog as well but they are at the store. So as soon as I can steal them back for a day, I will put them on here.</div>

I am not normally a sticker person, but this time I decided to buy the 12x12 sticker sheet that went with this line. I have to say, it was the right decision. I used up almost the entire sheet!!!</div>

For this page of my daughter, I used one of the papers as a background that had a little bird on it. I cut out the bird a little so that I could tuck my photo behind and not take away from the pattern. I then used a small strip of the polka dot pattern and the rest are stickers from the sticker sheet! Easy, breezy! :D</div>

This last layout was also very simple to put together thanks to those stickers! I just used a square of the polka dot paper under the photo, cut strips to make banners and added a small strip of pattern paper from <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Echo Park</b></span></a> to bring out the blue in my daughters tank top. I dug into my border punch stash and made the strip more decorative and used pop-dots to add dimension.</div>

Good morning! I know you have all but forgotten about me, it's been way to long since I last blogged! The weather has been absolutely beautiful and I have been out trying to enjoy it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also been pretty busy at work training a lovely new lady (Sandra) and getting ready for the fundraising crop for the S<b>askatchewan Burn Fund</b>. The store will host the 2nd Burn Fund Crop this July and it is going to be just as good as it was last year!! Click <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/112712798939414/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></span> for more details on that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To help raise money for this worthy charity, I have been making cards and selling them. Some of you know that I have set up a page on my blog to help promote my efforts and I have added (and deleted) some new cards! :D So please take a look and let me know if you are interested in purchasing some of my cards. <span style="font-size: large;"><b>ALL</b></span> the proceeds go towards the Saskatchewan Burn Fund. To find the page, just go to the top of the blog and click on<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://caylascraftycorner.blogspot.ca/p/blog-page.html" target="_blank"><b>"Cards"</b></a></span>.</div>

Now before I leave you today, I would like to share a layout I did a couple weeks ago. I created this layout using the new <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/perfect-summer/" target="_blank"><b>Echo Park line, Perfect Summer</b></a>. It is such a cute line and worked perfectly for these pictures of my daughter and my husband swimming in the lake.</div>

Well good evening everyone! I just wanted to share a couple of layouts that I was able to find time to do! Hooray for a family that believes I should get my way on Mother's Day!!! :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We recently got in three new lines from <b>Bo Bunny</b> at the store and they are awesome! I couldn't wait to get my hands on them and get creative! Although I wanted all the papers, I decided to focus more on the <a href="http://www.bobunny.com/lightbox/anthem.html" target="_blank"><b>"Anthem"</b></a> line. The reason I decided to do this, is because I am determined to show you all that it is more than a United States line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqQMrRdQSp6NyLlaCFfV26GESHQuJtGg6XDbFpu6YeAvBFuQ6gMrWZKODBMZ1jZoKqLVvGDBphHg4OhElm_IF8n8kxHv3iqFUDYQ95SlR-Jrg3_1MJn6xN9hHbh0UrlHcSQ-TSKgW77Bc/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqQMrRdQSp6NyLlaCFfV26GESHQuJtGg6XDbFpu6YeAvBFuQ6gMrWZKODBMZ1jZoKqLVvGDBphHg4OhElm_IF8n8kxHv3iqFUDYQ95SlR-Jrg3_1MJn6xN9hHbh0UrlHcSQ-TSKgW77Bc/s400/photo+4.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love the woodgrain patterns that a lot of companies have been incorporating into their lines. It is great for doing masculine stuff and we all know how hard it can be sometimes to find good boy stuff! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept this layout pretty simple because my son is a pretty simple kid. Like most boys, he is not all caught up in the fluff and glamour like us girls can be! :D He was just sitting there, all tired and sun-burnt, and I was able to get this great picture without any whining what-so-ever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also got to try the new <b>"Rubs" by Tim Holtz </b>and they are fabulous! They are effortless to use and I can't wait to go get some more! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to do more with this line, you know, in my spare time and all! Lol! And I will definitely post more projects when I get them done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next layout I did was using a line from <a href="http://www.authentiquepaper.com/products/Seasons:Spring" target="_blank"><b>Authentique</b></a> called <a href="http://www.authentiquepaper.com/products/Seasons:Spring" target="_blank"><u><b>"Seasons: Spring"</b></u></a>. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect for this old newspaper clipping I had of my daughters. Awwww... they are so cute!! I love looking back on old photos of my kids when they were just wee little things! Every once in a while I wish I could shrink them back to that cuteness! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This paper line was adorable! I also added a leftover piece of <b><a href="https://www.americancrafts.com/default.aspx?PageID=49&CategoryID=307" target="_blank">American Crafts Vellum</a></b> (<a href="https://www.americancrafts.com/default.aspx?PageID=49&CategoryID=307" target="_blank"><b>Silver Linings</b></a>) to add a touch of the outdoors.</div>

So the sun is shining this morning and it looks like we are finally going to get some spring like weather. I was looking back at last years temperatures for this time of year and it is absolutely depressing! We have had over 6 months of snow on the ground and we deserve a break I think! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have been pretty busy the past couple of weeks, working on projects for the big <a href="http://scrapbookstudiosaskatoon.ca/home/crops-events/" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">scrappy garage sale</span></b></a> that <span style="font-size: small;">the<b> <a href="http://scrapbookstudiosaskatoon.ca/home/" target="_blank">SC</a><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://scrapbookstudiosaskatoon.ca/home/" target="_blank">RAPBOOK STUDIO</a> </span></b></span>is having this weekend and also for the big crop that is coming up at the beginning of May to celebrate <a href="http://scrapbookstudiosaskatoon.ca/home/crops-events/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>National Scrapbooking Day</b></span></a>! But I did manage to find some time to get my page done for the Scrapbook & Cards April Calendar sketch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what their sketch looks like...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved these pictures. My husband and I had gone to the mall for some reason or another. While we were there we noticed that the Dawg's store was having a huge sale, something like 75% off everything I think. So we went in to check it out and ended up buying Dawgs for my kids, ourselves and my nephews! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well my nephew Eliot absolutely loved his pair. We got them in the same color as my son's and Eliot thought that that was just the coolest thing! I remember for weeks afterwards, he would come over and bring his shoes and make Sam put on his so they could be the same. It was adorable!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXKAzY2MC1-jMV5JKzoOjXMRbUXSh9Fb9Jk3x92_1nfNUP2enHhyphenhyphenrGPdPlkEdzP2r3sJ2ybC6oyaTko19l0kWn6Voj4ZL2qmv2_VqEl4AsHmxkhMS2sr7dMoPl-HoRG0p8yc9AagquxcQ/s1600/DSC_7656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXKAzY2MC1-jMV5JKzoOjXMRbUXSh9Fb9Jk3x92_1nfNUP2enHhyphenhyphenrGPdPlkEdzP2r3sJ2ybC6oyaTko19l0kWn6Voj4ZL2qmv2_VqEl4AsHmxkhMS2sr7dMoPl-HoRG0p8yc9AagquxcQ/s400/DSC_7656.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked the bright green background <b>(BoBunny)</b> because of the shoes and I threw in some grey polka dot pattern <b>(Echo Park)</b> to compliment the pictures. I chose the white rick rack <b>(Doodle Bug)</b> and the red ribbon <b>(Bazzill)</b> because of my nephew's shirt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fancy green border strips <b>(Bazzill)</b> in the layout were given to me in a lootbag at a retailers event years ago. Now I am the kind of person that loves to get rid of stuff. I hate clutter and my motto is; If you haven't touched it in over a year, then your probably not ever going to use it. But these particular borders I just couldn't part with. I kept telling myself, "They are bright green! When are you seriously ever going to use them!" Well it's a good thing I kept them because they suit this page perfectly! :D</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout is seriously just a bunch of bits and pieces from my scraps, with the exception of the background piece. The large, black letters are leftovers from a Cosmo Cricket chipboard alphabet set and the small black letters are Basic grey stickers. Then I just added some buttons from my stash to finish it off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next layout I did just the other day in hopes that it would give me hope that summer was just around the corner! :D</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to think of myself as a simple page kind of scrapper. I like to get all I can out of pattern papers by cutting out bits and pieces and using 3-D foam adhesive to add more dimension. I don't normally put alot of "Fluff" (as I call it) on my page because I really want the photos to stand out. But I just really wanted to make this page a summer-y, girly kinda page! </div>

This picture of my daughter Danielle was once again taken by my friend <a href="http://www.photosetcetera.com/" target="_blank"><b>Amanda Lepage</b></a> last summer! Danielle had just started taking guitar lessons earlier that year and is a complete natural at it. So she really wanted to get some pics done with her guitar! I love them!!!!!</div>

The paper I used for the background is from the <a href="http://www.bobunny.com/lightbox/prairiechic.html" target="_blank"><b>Prairie Chic</b></a> line by <b>BoBunny</b>. I love the wood paneling! I tore a bit off the corner, placed a piece of ivory cardstock there and added my flowers and buttons.</div>

Along the left side of the background was a printed lace trim but I wanted to add more texture to the layout, so I add a real crocheted trim along the edge. Again I added more flowers and made a cute banner flag using a sewing needle and some <a href="http://timholtz.com/prod_cat/paperie/" target="_blank"><b>Tim Holtz Tissue Tape</b></a>. After I had folded a piece of the tissue tape in half over the needle, I cut the end and colored it with <a href="http://timholtz.com/prod_cat/distress-inks/" target="_blank"><b>Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink</b></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I am off to go make some cookies for my kidlets to sell at the garage sale this weekend and to see if I can go through some more of my stash and purge a little more of it! :D Stop by the <a href="http://scrapbookstudiosaskatoon.ca/home/location-hours/" target="_blank"><b>store</b></a> tomorrow between <b>10am-3pm</b> and check out what myself and others are parting with! One person's junk is another's treasure, so you never know, you may get in on a great deal!</div>

Good evening! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to share a couple of layouts quick before I head off to work. I had to give my head a shake today because I thought I had already done this post! But lo and behold when I went to go show someone the layouts I had created, they were not here! Geez! Sometimes I just don't have my head on right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created all three of these layouts using the <a href="http://www.bobunny.com/lightbox/mamarazzi.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Bo Bunny "Mamma-razzi2" line</span>.</b></a> The first time this line was released was a few years ago and I absolutely loved it! I am slightly disappointed with the second release, but only slightly! I wish they had kept the beautiful dark blues but I do love the teal!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I created the embellishments on the pages by cutting bits out of the pattern papers and used 3-D foam adhesive. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To make the circles on the background stand out more, I drew on some faux stitching using my fine-tip brown sharpie.</div>

These layouts are really quite simple but I felt I didn't have to do much because the photos were amazing. My lovely friend <a href="http://www.photosetcetera.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Amanda Lepage</b></span></a> took these pictures last summer and I loved them. I really wanted to do them justice! If you are ever looking for a great photographer, look this gal up! She did an amazing job! Click <b><a href="http://www.photosetcetera.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></a></b> and you will be directed to her website.</div>
