Doodle friends


Do you ever get to the end of a day and say...I made it! ? It was all you could do to just get through it? I tell ya, I just don't stop all day! Crazy! I blame Winn Dixie personally. I was busy enough, but then, I stopped to innocently buy bread, which I never do cause I make my own, and they were having a sale on meat again. Yes, you guessed it. I canned again today. Meat really is the easiest. I did 13 quarts of it today. I love looking at my shelves and seeing them filled up! It is awesome!
Anyway, on to stamping! Here is a page I demoed at my workshop last night. I finished it today. I got the basic layout idea off of the workshop wizard on the SU demo site. They used different colors, stamps and of course, picture, but the basic idea was from there. I loved the easy idea of the color block! This is an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of chocolate chip as the base. The pink is pretty in pink that was also 8-1/2 x 11. I turned the pink on it's long side and cut it to 7 x 8-1/2. One cut! I stamped the doodle this set in white onto the pink and then stuck it on the left side of the chocolate chip. I used the paper piercer and template from the crafter's kit to do my faux stitching along the edges. I didn't go all the way around...I think it adds a bit of interest...like...your eyes are trying to connect the dots or something. (busy work for eyes...) The polka dots are a strip cut from one of the Au Chocolate papers...retiring this month! I mounted them onto a rectangle of whisper white that I cut to 5 x 7 or so. I think this page would look good without the white mat, but I had already put that down. My picture didn't quite fill it up so I added some chocolate chip dots with my markers to fill in the white space. The flowers are stamped with basic brown onto whisper white and then chalked in with various pinks. The doodles in the corners are stamped with craft white and enhanced with my awesome white gel pen. I stamped the "friends" with the basic brown and added a bit of gel pen to that too. It is a pretty simple page that can easily be made to a 12 x 12 size or even modified a bit with more pictures. If you are wondering, that is my daughter on the right. Isn't she a beauty?

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...

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...

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...
