Hello and Happy Weekend!

I am enjoying a rare Saturday where I DON'T have to work :-)

Today's cards are a mash-up between 2 of my favorite stamp companies...

The sentiment and border strip are from PTI while that adorable bicycle is from Lawn Fawn.

I am hoping to be "uber" productive this weekend... we will see how that pans out!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble Gobble :-)

Just wanted to share a decorative tile that I made for Thanksgiving.

I used a limestone tile in 4x4 size (a box of 9 is $5 at Lowe's).  Limestone tile is porous so the ink sinks into it a bit, rather than floating on top like a ceramic tile would.

I stamped the pumpkin and the sentiment using Black Staz-On ink. I colored the pumpkin using my Copics - carefully - since the ink is Staz-on, Copics don't get along very well!

Next, I used Crafty Power Tape to frame out my image.  I shook on a little cinnamon colored glitter and the tape holds it perfectly!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Inspiration Showcase - Day 1 Card

Hello :-)

I am participating in an online class by Jennifer McGuire called Inspiration Showcase. So far it has been chock-full of great information.  Our first day was all about resist techniques - and I will be the first to admit, this is something I have NOT used before.  I think it's growing on me!

For my card, I embossed the Mehndi medallion stamp onto the ghost, and then inked the rest of him in Peeled Paint ink.

I then added a button, twine and tiny tag to finish it off -

I am very happy so far with all the information in this class - I learned a lot about resist - even though I chose the simplest of techniques to work with here!

Cornucopia of Thanks!

What a weekend! Its the middle of September, and I really thought the weather was going to be cooler from now on... alas, I had to turn the A/C back on today! (not happy!) But I noticed that the weather outlook for the rest of the week looks MUCH better... which is good, because I am in the mood for FALL!

I couldn't wait to pull out my Lawn Fawn Stamps that I bought LAST fall and put them to good use! I was really excited to use the cornucopia stamp - now that I have amassed a few more Copics and can really try to color it!  This is one of my first attempts at coloring - but it was pretty fun - even if it was daunting!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
