Scrappin rock stars!

Now this page was fun to do! This is another example of me finding better paper at the expo once I got there. I already had the glossy black paper. I ordered it online and can't remember where from....losing my mind. Anyway, it was one of those... I know I will use it some day... purchases. The red star paper is from Rusty Pickle. I cut it down just a bit so I could put a strip of the glossy black along the outside edges. The super glittery paper is also from Rusty Pickle. I cut a strip and put it along the bottom half of the backgroud paper. It is way glittery in person! I used a die that was provided at the crop to cut the big circles for my faux records. Then, and this is the coolest part, I used my sanding block to carefully etch lines in the records. They look awesome! I don't have a totally steady hand, so the lines aren't perfect, but I thought it was cool! I traced a container from a gal at another table to make the white circles in the center and wrote the name of the song my boys were 'rockin' to on that. The black stars are Heidi Swapp chipboard pieces. I love these pictures of my boys. They had so much fun with thier air guitars. So adorable!
In other news, I am gathering some goodies for some BLOG CANDY so....stay tuned! It should be up tomorrow with my Friday Blog Challenge. Now, I am off to get the 'homeschooling' kids off the Xbox and onto some learning! Happy Day!

Fridays challenge #63

This week has been crazy. We had a fun Labor day and then actually went to school the rest of the week! The storms decided to stay away for a while. I'm glad. Our challenge this time was a color challenge. The colors are Ridinghood red, Tangerine and Pacific Point. All new In Colors at Stampin' Up! for the new catalog. I love all these colors but, together....they were a challenge! I decided to play up the red and blue and use the tangerine as a highlight. I pulled out my True Friend stamp set and stamped the large medallion style stamp all over the ridinghood red using my basic black stamp pad. It looked okay....but then I remembered the Banadana technique Pat shared in a recent Technique Junkie newsletter . You all know how much I LOVE my white gel pen, so...I went to work. I won't tell you how the bandana technique works, you'll have to visit Pat for that info. She puts out a fabulous newsletter every other month, FULL of great stampin ideas. I hear she has some gre...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
