JUGS PI

 

I can’t take credit for this cute design…a good friend of mine came up with it!

I love it…don’t you?  Wish I had those sandals on right now and I was at the beach!

Most of the supplies are from Stampin UP and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Come on over to Just Us Girls and see what the talented teammates of mine did with this Inspiration Photo!

We all interpreted it quite differently!  Love that!

Stamp TV Release Party Re-cap!

Hello friends,

Last night over at Stamp TV It was release time and I finally got to share

with everyone what I did with their newest stamp sets as a featured Guest Designer this month.

 Here are each one of the Fabulous Stamp Sets and a link for you on how

to purchase them for yourself!  I had such a great time working with my fellow guest designers-Judy and Karen.

The pair of you did FABULOUS, and it was so much fun working alongside you both behind the scenes these past few weeks.

I find you both so talented and funny, and am thrilled that we have become better friends!  Of course, none of this would

have been possible, without the guidance of Lee Murphy the Stamp TV Design Team Member.  You rock Lee!

Here we go…time for my cards!

The first set was designed by Beth Silaika.

 It’s called Fleur di lis.

 I really LOVE it!  So versatile with great patterns!

Next, we have Debbie Corbari with another fabulous Diva! Golf Diva.

Really happy with the way this came together!  So much fun to make!

Theresa Momber set coordinates well with her other Out West 2 stamp set!

This was the most challenging for me…but I wasn’t about to give up!

 Now we have Rupa Shevde with this beautiful set featuring tons of

vases and florals called Flowers Bloom.

LOVE this set!

Last but certainly not least, we have Melanie Muenchinger’s set called Lots of Letters 2.

Just Us Girls and Some Color!

JUGS CC

Screen Shot 2014-03-22 at 8.47.32 AM

 

Hi Friends,

  It’s time for a color challenge as you can see over at Just Us Girls.

  I decided is what about time I start using my Stampin Up

Punch Board and boy do I love it! I have been seeing file folder cards all over Pinterest 

so I thought I would give it a try.  Very simple to do for sure! 

The paper is mostly old Stampin Up paper that I have had for years, but love!

The sentiment seems to be one I use all the time and your probably tired of seeing it

from Verve. I left the inside of the card blank for now till I figure out where it’s headed.

I got that cute flowered embossing folder when I got my Cuttlebug and I just love it!

Those flowers really pop…don’t they?

The banner punch is also from Stampin Up and I finally got around to using it!

So come on over to Just Us Girls and join us this week for our color challenge!

You won’t be disappointed when you see what the team has done along with our

guest designer Lee-Anne!

Remember…..

If you Become ” Chic Of the Week” you are in the running as

possibly being a Guest Designer with us.

Have a great day and find some time to create,

Nanc’

Stamp TV Challenge…

STV

Hello Friends,

Today the card I have for you is for a Mix it Up Monday Challenge over at Stamp TV.

My friend Karen is hosting this week so I wanted to give her some moral support and join here,

plus I had these really cool paper clips on my desk and have bee dying to use them.  So when

I saw her challenge to use metal of some kind it was meant to be!

I also wanted to show you where my inspiration came from to make this card!

A dear friend of mine and oh so talented stamper sent me this wonderful

tag the other day and I put it in my studio right where I could see it

and admire it!

000_3694

I told her I loved it when I saw it on her blog so she sent it to me!

She is such a dear sweet person and I am so glad our paths have crossed!

Here is a link to her Blog Card Therapy....she is a Genius at Mixed Media

Watercoloring and Spring!

IMG_00011

 

Hello My Friends and Faithful Followers,

Today over at Just Us Girls Lisa has challenged us to use watercolors as our background.

The Design Team and I were definitely on the same wave length…a good portion of us used

orange somewhere on our card….is so funny with those things happen.

I just love Lisa’s card too!

Screen Shot 2014-04-08 at 9.39.49 PM

Anyways,  Let me give you a few details on how this came together.

First thing I did was stamp the leaves and flowers (SU) with versa mark and heat

embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I took my

Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight inks and a SU Aqua Painter and streaked them

across the page.  I wiped off the excess ink that doesn’t stick to the embossed images

with a tissue.  Then I stamped my script in Brown Stazon Ink.  Last, I took

a paint brush that was heavily coated in Real Red mixed with Tangerine Tango watered down ink

and splattered the ink by shaking the paint brush.

( Make sure you cover your walls and workstation,

I didn’t and that ink went everywhere ! LOL)

Did the same thing with my Butterfly (minus the splat) which by the way is from Stamp TV.

The sentiment is from Verve!

All the paper is from Stampin UP.

ModSquadBadge

Okay, I am also entering this over at Mod Squad  where they asked us to make

our own Background paper and to use 3 Spring Bright Colors.

Now,  Head on over to Just Us Girls and see what my other teammates did

with the Watercolor challenge and/or join me over at Mod Squad!

Find time to be creative…it’s good for the soul!
