Chipboard challenge day 7

I am guilty of hoarding many craft supplies. Rub ons are one, chipboard letters are another. I am always hesitant to use a letter because...what if I need that letter later for something else? I know, it is crazy. I actually have several sets of letters, just in case, and I still have a hard time using them! I guess that is why stamping is so perfect for me. With my alphabet stamps, I never run out of letters! I can always just stamp another one.
So, today, my challenge is to use chipboard letters. I made this cute scrap page for a contest over at PageMaps. This is the layout they gave and we had to make it our own. All the supplies are from Stampin' Up!. The rub ons are from Saleabration this year. I love that we got them in Chocolate! They look white in the lower right hand side, but they are really chocolate. Another thing I love about rubons is how easy it is to modify them and change them. I added a swirl at the top that used to be somewhere else. They are fun. My chipboard on here is the large circle which I inked up with creamy caramel and the C which is inked with chocolate chip. I stamped the rest of the 'cousins' with a small SU alphabet using more chocolate ink. I really like using sketches for pages, it gives me a great jump start on a page. If you like sketches, PageMaps is a great place to go. Check them out!
Be sure to send me pictures or links so I can see how you used your chipboard letters today!

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...
