3-21-10 Calendar Organizer Book with K&Co Speciality Papers

I'm always on the lookout for new double sided paper for projects. This paper is so pretty the pictures don't do it justice. I think I'm gonna go grab another pad or two today while I'm out. The texture is amazing. It is made by K&Company and is called Garnish.

These little card organizer, calendar books are kinda time consuming to do. I like to ink the edges etc., so that takes a little while to do. It just gives it such a finished look. I think this is my favorite book so far.

2-11-2010 House Mouse and Friends Blog Challenge

I made this card for a House Mouse and Friends Blog Hop and Challenge. The deadline is 2-14-10 so hurry and go check it out. The DT girls have done an amazing job.

I hope you like my entry.

Stamps are House Mouse Blueberry Delight HMUR1068 and Eat Dessert First QR1057. I stamped them with Graphite Black Archival Brilliance Ink and colored them with Prismacolor pencils: sand, ginger root, bronze, blush pink, peach beige, chocolate, seashell pink, copenhagen blue. I also used a white gelly roll pen, fine glitter, my Cuttlebug with distressed stripes and textile embossing folders, my Creative Memories Oval Cutter, as well as used some buttons and ribbon from my stash. Oh yeah, and a frequent favorite of mine.... Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.

Enjoy your blog hop!!! I know I did. Good luck to everyone that is entering!!!
Hugs,
Sherry

10-12-09 Christmas Candles Birthday Card

Okay...this one was so much fun. I used two of my circle punches and my photo corner punch from Stampin Up, a Candle Stamp from Michaels, some gingerbread buttons from JoAnn's that I cut that backs off of, some ribbon, and of course some distress ink and glitter. I wasn't sure how this one was going to work and just kept adding and moving things around til it all seemed to fit together. I'm happy with the end result.

I think after the holidays I may have to start getting a little more specific in my details and maybe start doing some videos? I don't know....I'm kinda a haphazard scrapper....things just come together. Most often, there is no method to my madness.

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get my butt to bed at a decent hour. My bp hasn't been behaving itself and I had a rough night earlier with some chest pain. Feeling better now so I promised my husband I wouldn't push it too far. Although, I'd love to finish that last card for work.

I will be a good girl and go to bed.

Hugs,
Sherry
