Happy Friday!!

Woo Hoo!! It's Friday!!  Weekend here we come.  Or shall I say Senior Prom here we come!!  Thank goodness...

Prom has been such drama this year.  I'm going to be glad when it is over...  I'll post pictures after it.  My whole problem with it was the dress this year.  Danielle went to the mall with all intentions of getting a big poofy Cinderella type dress this year ~ what we came home with could not of been any more opposite than that.  But that's all I'm saying for now...  You'll see...

Enough of that (before my blood pressure goes up again Ü) you wanna see some cards...  I do have to say sorry in advance for these.  I didn't write down what I used and I'm not sure of the paper on these ~ but at least they may give you some inspiration.

When we went to our gathering last week we got on the subject of bra's.  I don't know how - that's always happening with me.  I can be on one subject talking about one thing and choo-choo my train derails and I'm on another track...  My Mom says it's age, I hope not!  Anyway I made this card for Betty.  And she just told me that she's already paid it forward.  How perfect is that!!  I'm glad. 

This card I used my Angel Company set called Brighten Girl.  I love this little set, and it kinda reminds me of the Hello Kitty stuff from my childhood.  It also reminds me a great deal of the designs over at Softpencil.  If you've not gone there you must!!  There are so many adorable digi designs!!  But be sure to come back here.

I know that it's not much - I always feel terrible if I don't post much ~ or the materials I've used on my cards.  There are a few cards that I've made that I did not write down what I used and if I don't and try to do it by memory then I'm in trouble Ü.  If you would like to know who the vendor is for the bra and panties then I can get it for you.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Mojo126

I know, I know... Late again ~ but at least I attempted it.  I've got another new set from The Angel Company called The Joy of Easter.  Just like Valentines day, I have not purchased any new stamps for Easter.  So when the new Serendipity came out and I saw this set I had to purchase it!!  And when I saw the Mojo Monday sketch this week I knew just what set to use, I just had to sit down long enough to use it!

So here is the sketch.  I really liked this one, I'm sure that I will use it again in the future!

Here is my version.  You like it? 

The base card is Pixie Pink and I layered it with DP from The Angel Company called Catelynne.  It is one of my most favorite collections!  I stamped the images from TAC's The Joy of Easter and colored them in with pencils and gamsol.  All the images were cut out with different nesties.  The top and lower borders were punched with my new scallop punch from SU! then I added some jewels to it between the scallops.  The layer of Bashful Blue was run thru my CB with the Swiss Dots folder. For the center I used ribbon instead of paper.  I think that it turned out nice, how about you?

I hope that this inspires you today.  Let me know what you think.  Have a great afternoon!

My Cupcake Easel's

I was in a mood the other day to make some easel cards and I got some new set's from The Angel Company and had to use them.  My hands were just itching to ink up those cuppy cakes!!  And with all the snow around there was little else I could do ~ so here we go!!

This was my first one.  I used Chocolate Chip for the base and the layered it with Old Olive and some DP from Imaginisce.   I used my new nesties Labels 9 to layer under the girl.  The image is from The Angel Company set called Cupcake Cuties.  Some ribbon, a button.  See the bottom layer?  I used my new Scallop Trim Border punch from SU! and I added a little button, too!  Adorable, huh?

This one is really girly with all the pink, but I know just the person who will be getting this in the mail.  This image is also from Cupcake Cuties and the base card is Pink Pirouette that I layered with Pixie Pink and some DP from Hot off The Press (that I've had forever!!).  The ribbon is Rose Red from SU! and I used my Labels 9 nestie to cut the images on the main panel then I used my CB Swiss Dots folder to emboss it.  The bottom layer I used my Scallop Trim border punch.  I also did some paper piercing and faux stitching around the outer edge.

This was my last easel card.  The base is Barely Banana that I layered with Certainly Celery and some DP from Imaginisce and Hot off The Press.  I used my CB and ran the Certainly Celery paper thru with my Swiss Dots folder (can you tell, it's one of my favorites) and then cut it out with my nestie Label 1.  Some ribbon, a button, my SU! scallop trim border punch and I was complete.

If you'd like to try your hand at an easel card go to the SCS resource page and pull up Easel Card ~ or just click HERE and it will take you there.  I love to look every Wednesday and see what new technique they are doing.  And make sure you take a look in the gallery set aside HERE for these cards ~ I'm sure that you will find lots of inspiration!  This one was a while ago, but it's so much fun - quick and easy ~ and even better yet it fits in an A2 envelope!

Have a great day everyone!!

The NEW Angel Company Catty!!

I just thought that I'd share with you a copy of the new Angel Company catty that I've received.  It is their second Serendipity catty and I love it.  To be honest I was thinking of getting out of TAC but this catty is making me think twice.  There are new products (Nestabilities and Copics) and new stamps that are just adorable!!  I think that you may like it.  I will try to add a copy of it here - but if for some reason I can not you can go to my Scrib'd site and see the PDF I made of it.  Go HERE.

Happy almost T.G.I.F!!

Almost...  I'm starting to get excited with this time of year approaching.  As most of you know I love Fall ~ and all the apple and harvest festivals up and coming, it's so exciting.

I'm going to be kinda quick this morning.  Gotta get busy you know...

This is another one of my CD calendars that I made.  Don't you love it?  The base of it is Bashful Blue that I layered with some Friskars DP and Blue Bayou cs.  I took my top note die and cut the top with my cardstocks and layered it with some flowers in the same colors that I cut out with my Flower Layer 3 die, one of Mom's crochet flowers and a crystal brad.  The little tear off calendar is from Skybluepink.com.  It was a quick and easy project. 

Here is another quick project.  These really do go fast if you paste down the paper and let it sit overnight.  I took a clipboard and adhered the paper from the Tea Party collection with Mod Podge and let it sit overnight.  Then the next day I added all the goodies.  I cut the scallop circle with my SU! die and attached it to the paper.  I cut some flowers with my Flower Layers 3 die, some chipboard, some crochet flowers, some prims & crystal brads.  The stamped words are from The Angel Company grab bag that I had purchased.  I added some matching paper to the inside of the pen, ribbon to the clip at the top, notepad, and a little calendar from Skybluepink.com.  The green  bar at the bottom I hot glued on.  I picked it up from Walmart a while back to add to my desk and didn't ~ I thought it would look good at the bottom of the clipboard to use with push pins if it was hung on a wall.

This is pretty much the same ~ just different Ü.  Same paper, same dies, same everything just different colors.

I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful today.  Have a great day!

Some serious Copic business...

Stocking Stuffers...

I never posted the stocking stuffers that I made for the SCS gathering that we went to a few weeks back.

The Angel Company used to give out stamps for every $30.00 in merchandise that you purchase (they don't any longer, you have to purchase them). I used to send them out to people when they'd ask for a catty, just as a friendly little gift ~ and so you can see the quality rubber that you are purchasing from The Angel Company. Anyway, I had quite a few saved up and thought that it would be a nice little gift for my stocking stuffer.

I packaged them up and made the little tags for it. The tags were made with the same stamps (The gift with purchase) and the set I Remember When. I used Green Galore and Real Red ink, and Riding Hood Red and white card stock.

I thought that it was a nice little gift. I know that I would of liked to receive it *Ü*

Have a great weekend!

Anyone interested?

Just doing some business...

I was sitting here thinking the other day (scary....) and I thought that TAC is having their double rewards program and most people don't have that $100.00 to spend all at once. My idea was what if you could only spend $50.00 and have the same benefits?


www.theangelcompany.net


If you would like to spend $50.00 I can match you up with someone else who would like to spend $50.00 and you can each have the benefits. You would each receive your Level A hostess set and also one 1/2 price item from the catty. That's anything in the catty at 1/2 price. Been waiting for a sale on that BIA or still have not got that scor-pal? Well, here ya go!

If you are interested let me know. I will keep track of everyone who would like to place a $50.00 order and still reap the benefits. What a great way to add to your stamp collection without having a full party.

Milk it Baby!

A friend of mine had a little procedure done the other day and I wanted to make a card for her. She's always busy, busy, busy. If they ever needed to make more hours in the day she could use them.

When I was talking with her she said that it was really no big deal and she'd be home in no time. Well I mentioned to her that she needed to milk it for all she could. Then it hit me, I had a stamp that said that. Of course I had to use it. Then I thought I had cow print paper & a cow stamp... Oh we all know where this is going, don't we?

The base card is Basic Black that I layered with Real Red, SU! Summer Picnic and Darcie's cow print paper. I stamped the images from SU! Comfort Food and TAC's SWAK and colored them in with pencils and gamsol. I then punched them out with my marvy punches. The saying I stamped in Real Red ink, punched out with my 3/4" circle punch and layered it on to a 1" Basic Black circle and then again on to a piece of Real Red that I punched out with my designer label punch. I added some dots with my gel pen and I didn't forget the ribbon, she loves ribbon! I thought that it turned out cute, don't you?

I'm off to create something ~ see you back here later!

Every have an ah-HA moment?

Have you ever had one of those ah-HA moments? I did!

I've always tried to take my new catties to the office supply store to have them wire bound. They seem to flip pages better, you can fold them over so they don't take so much room - it's just neater all around.

Well a couple of days ago I thought "dummy. You have a Bind-It-All". Yes, yes I do!!!

So I took my catties to the UPS store here in town and had them cut the glued spine off and I came home and punched the holes and wire bound it myself.

The Angel Company is having another one of their double rewards sales right now and if you place an order of $100.00 you can get not only one but TWO hostess Level A sets AND not one but TWO 1/2 off items in the catty! How cool is that!!! If you wanted you could get the Bind it All and the Scor-Pal ~ or whatever else in the catty you'd like for 1/2 off!

If you are interested just leave me a comment or e-mail me at joanmcdonald@roadrunner.com

Have a great rest of your day!!

Hello everyone!

So sorry for the late post today ~ just busy with life.

Today was kind of a run around day. Mom had another appointment and we went to lunch. Took Danielle to her boyfriends - just puttered around town. Then I came home and saw the sketch over at Mojo Monday. Had to take part in that. So after watching hubby do this hilarious dance out side....

Ok, let me explain. If it was not for the fact that I need to charge up my camera's batteries I would of taken a movie of it. Remember his birdhouse? Well it seems that the birds are making more nests in it, that's great. But in one of the holes there is a hornets nest, and it's kind of big. Not wanting to spray anything in there he decided that he was going to suck it out with the vacuum. Well, he tried his little car vac, nope that would not fit. He tried my electric broom that comes apart. Nope. Then he tried his shop vac and the attachments, yippie!!

So here he was in the yard with the shop vac and the hose with a stick trying to break up the nest. Yes, just as you thought ~ the hornets got mad. So here he is in the yard with a stick and the hose and all I can see is him doing this fencing kind of move like he's in a sword fight with someone. It was hilarious!!! I so wish the batteries were charged ~ it was one of those America's Funniest Video moments!!

Ok, I'm sure your ready for some creativity. Here is the sketch from Mojo Monday.

Here is my version of the sketch.

The base card is Certainly Celery that I layered with Pink Pirouette, Pink Passion and some DP from Deja Views that I got when I went to Archiver's. The stamp image is from The Angel Company's set called Barnyard Birthday. I added some ribbon, stickels, brads and jewels to the card. The sentiment I cut out with my nesties. I hope that it inspires you!

Other than that, that's all I've got for you today. I hope to have more for you tomorrow!!

Have a great evening!!
