Another Sketch Challenge

But not really a good one. I am not the best at following sketch's to a T. So just go with me here OK?

Jen at I{heart}toStamp gives up a Sketch for you to try.

Similar to my WSC card huh? Well, when it's out it gets used up OK. LOL...

The only extra here is the sentiment is from TAC's TagTidbits.

The only thing I don't like is the image is too big for the sketch, but I like this card.

Bella Babe Contest

This card is for the Bella Babe contest on the Yahoo Group. Last month, I posted a challenge and had to choose a winner. It was tough but in the end I picked Lynn (Lynn in St. Louis from SCS) and she posted this months challenge.

That was to use 3 layers, 2 embellishments and 1 sentiment. Well, as you can see I layered her up. I've never used this Bella image, but I just got them and thought they were fun. The DP is SU!'s Fall Flowers. The cardstock is Bashful Blue and Wild Wasabi.

The Embellishments were the organdy ribbon seen on the striped papers, and the bling flowers that Lindsey sent me. The sentiment is from SU! Swell News.

I am anxious to see who wins this one, yet after looking I know it's going to be a tough choice!! Wow...these Bella Babes are talented!!

Weekend Sketch Challenge

I was actually working on some challenges today.

This one is from Beate's WSC26 on her blog Fresh and Fun.

I am not so excited about this card and the sketch together, but I like the card. I used the set Heart Sings from TAC. I love these snowmen, but unfortunately this set will be discontinued at the end of the year.

I used some new DP from SU!, Dashing and the cardstock is Rose Red and Old Olive. I really had a hard time finding the papers to match it well enough, which irritates me, being that it's all SU! Hmm....

My clean room

Well, not spotless, but cleaned up!

I had to clean it yesterday b/c (a) it was bugging me and (b) we are getting water meters put in and the pipe is in my room. As much I didn't want the meter installed, I have no choice, and also don't want to lose any installers in my room!

This is walking into my room and my desk. Up close of my desk. I put my TAC stamps in CD holders so I swiped our CD storage that was just a collector of junk up stairs. I got the paper rack when our LSS closed. I love that!
This green desk I got from a friend a long time ago. I had to move it in to give me more surface room and I have my tools, glues in the top drawer. My images and CM cutting stuff in the middle drawer. And all other goodies that don't have a place to go in the bottom drawer. In the purple tub next to it is my DP.
I have 2 white file cabinets and the top drawer of this one is my SU! papers sorted my color and color family.
This medicine cabinet was in our bathroom when we moved in. We have a big mirror now, so I scavenged it for my punches, EB powders and other lil stuff.
This is in the cubby space and holds my wood mounted stamps, paints, big tools, things to be alters, papers and more. Kind of my catch all.

This lil rolling cart is under/next to my desk. I have my loose ribbon in the top drawer, brads and eyelets in the next drawer and scrap papers in the bottom.
Then this is the wall opposite my desk. The tall bookcase holds all my completed items to sell/give away and alter ables. Also is my sewing desk. My dad got that table for me for my birthday a few years back and I love it. It was full of goodies!!! As for the pink tree I am trying to think of Bella ornaments to display on it. Fun huh?

That's all. I am getting the crew fed so I can send them to the Football game, get Mc down for a nap, slap another coat of paint on the floor and head down to play!! Lots to do and I can't wait!!

Ho Ho Ho

I've been trying to teach McKinley to say that and who Santa is.

I made this card today.

My friend Khristi gave me this image, and I don't know where it's from...I'll ask her. Anyway, I got this Vintage Holiday paper from TAC yesterday and wanted to use it. (FYI- it sold out, but sorry, I'm still gonna use it!)

I chalked Santa's hat and cloak red, and the background green, and his face a peach color. I love how it looks, and what's funny to me is how much it looks like my dad. Wow! I should post that for you to compare yourself. LOL...

Anyway, the cardstock is SU!, wild wasabi and ruby red. The flowers are from a kit I think by Chatterbox that I had in my stash.

I don't know what to do about a watermark, and I guess I am going to skip it. Seriously if you want to steal my cards and pass them off as your own, go ahead. I would know the real creator and you would have a guilty conscience. Anyway, this is bad.

I am working on McKinley's room and I've got alot done for today. We shall see how it dries tomorrow.

Little Things

Good evening, or Happy Friday...whichever when you read this.

I found this unposted card to post tonight. I am not a flower stamp gal. I just do not like them, and I like funny cards you know. However when I signed up for TAC I decided to get this set. It's Fanciful Flowers and really it is a good one.

I stamped the flower image a few times to make some seem lighter of further back. I then stamped a darker one of each size, cut them out and mounted them on pop dots. I stamped the stems the same way. The Cardstock is Burgundy and the ribbon is from last holidays' Mini Catalog from SU!

The sentiment is also from TAC, from the set Little Things. It has some fun sentiments!!


Tomorrow is Friday! Yeah! I'll be back with some posting, but I've got orders from both TAC and SU! and not played with either! OMG!!! My friend Khristi also did so I am challenging her (YEAH YOU!!!) to create something with one of the new sets you got!! And I'll do the same.

I'll be playing in the morning, b/c in the afternoon I start to do some demo work in McKinley's room!!

Tagged Ramblings....

My Bella Friend Tangi, tagged me. I posted this info a couple weeks ago and you can see it here

http://katieskiff.blogspot.com/2007/10/some-fun.html

I'm also updateing the side over here ------->
with my new Angel Company info for November. I've gotten a SU! order and a TAC order so I need to find some play time. Lots going on today tho with no school, but I hope to get a card posted later on.

Tomorrow I am starting a major project of re-doing Mc's floor! I'll keep you posted.

If it's not one thing, it's another

I have had such a hard time the last couple weeks on the computer. We are experiencing technical difficulties that are driving me nuts!! Not to mention, I've been busy and I am really excited to be HOME for a couple days. Granted today, being Halloween and Church night, I still don't feel as rushed as I have.
So then, when I do get on here Blogger won't upload my pics. Hmph.

OK, enough whining...here is something fun, yet late.

I got these great goodies from JT's October Aloha RAK. They came from Monique in California. I loved it!!

I also got some goodies form Judibella yesterday that included a Witchybella card, some candy and a Heart border stamp from StampingBella. I don't have a pic yet tho.


Here is another card that I did get done. I received these BabyFellaBella images awhile back and made this card for my cousin and his wife who had their first baby, a girl on the day before my birthday. I pushed for the 25th, but I totally understand! :o)

Stamps: StampingBella (image RAK), sentiment SU! - Little Love
Paper: Cardstock - SU!, DP - Autumn Leaves (thanks Lindsey!!)
Misc. ribbon.

I hope to be back tomorrow with a new creation. I am sure that we'll all be hyped up on enough candy and the boys are out of school tomorrow for Parent Teacher conferences. So smart to do it the day after Halloween!!

Happy trickin'!!

Jumpstart

Hey all. I am getting a jumpstart on the week posting tonight. Monday's are always crazy.

We had a busy weekend, full of Holiday fun, tho. I always like that.

And I did sneak in some fun for myself, although not enough!

I received a stash of images this last week and one was Kittycatabella. I had just been mentioning her to my cat-loving aunt. So I used her to make a Thank You card for my aunt for my birthday presents.

Stamps: Kittycatabella by StampingBella

Paper: cardstock, SU!, soft sky, DP Autumn Leaves

Extra: paper flowers

This paper and the flowers were my present from my Brother and SIL. Thanks guys, I am enjoying the chocolate while I craft!!!

Happy start of the week!!

Also, my Bella Sistah, Susan got engaged...finally!! Yeah Susan!! Head over to her blog and say Congrats!!

Have you ever had a dream come true?

Most of you know this last week was my birthday. At family dinner Wednesday, my Grandpa asked me what I was going to do this year..and then said The same? I laughed to myself.


I want to do more this year. I know I have a lot on my plate as a mom and wife and I also try to be involved in my kids' school things. But I have had a dream for quite awhile. It's something that I've wanted to do for over a year and these past few months I've actually started pursuing it even more. And now things are falling into place. Like slapping me in the face saying this is actually going to happen.


I will share that it's a new business venture and it's got a lot to do with the stamping world. So I am super excited, but as with any venture there are things that scare the crap outta me too. What if I fail? What if no one wants what I have? What ifs...I hate them. But I have this great DH who keeps saying to me So what! So, you tried it and it failed...at least you tried! So is that enough? I don't know.


What I know is, I want to succeed, who doesn't. But I also want to have fun and share things with others, so I need to make sure that's the whole point.


I also wanted to make sure I wasn't just doing the same thing next year when Grandpa asks What will you do this year? I want to be able to say Move Forward and try something new. (OK, we also watched Meet the Robinson's and that's their saying!!) So here goes to a new year!!

Finally....

WE have been dealing with computer issues all week. Our cord for the laptop broke, so we hopefully can get one this weekend. The local GEEK told me that it would be such a hassle if he tried to order it, so I sent it with my mom to GF. And this desktop was soooooo sllllloooowwwww!! Ugh or it would just lock up. I had to remove some programs. A couple games were *coming to life* (Greg's says anyway!) and were running each day without anyone playing them. Maybe we have a lazy ghost huh?

So finally I am online and playing around. I also feel like I've been running all week. And I guess I have been busy this week.

I had a Pampered Chef order come in and the lady needed the gift wrapped and delivered for her, so I also needed a card. She told me to go buy one. Pish...

I used a plastic frame so it reflected, but I mounted it on some Crate paper and then used the reverse as a background. The image and sentiment are from SU! I also decorated the envie too. Just for fun. And here are some of David's masterpieces. He loves to come down with me and play. And he is just as creative as his mom too! Here is Beerafella and Fixerfella...he even named them Gregory and Danny. Too funny!! He cracks me up when he is trying to name them and then what do I say when he wanted to know if PMSabella was snackabella? Um, you bet son! Like I need to explain that to a 7yo boy! LOL...

Have a super weekend. BTW, I posted our Halloween costume on the family blog today! I am off to feed FOUR boys and take 2 to a Haunted House and expect one extra to sleep over after that. May be a long night!!

Hi-Ya

Nothing to share other than Thanks! Thanks for the birthday wishes that I have received today.

I've been busy enjoying the day. RC and I worked on their *costume* for the Halloween Parade today. I'll post the pics later. I'm only taking a few minutes to pop in. Today kind of zoomed by...of course.

We had family birthday dinner last night, which is always good. Mom made lasagna and we had salad and bread too. And chocolate cake...yummm!

I got some new clothes and slippers and a holiday decoration that I am excited to use. I also got some goodies in the mail today...my SIL bought me some fun paper crafting materials, so I'll have to create her a cool card. And post the one she made me. My Bella sistah Susan, sent me a bunch more images to play with ! I can't wait. So...I can't decide if I want to play or watch all my shows I have saved up....

Hope you had a good day too!!

Golf Anyone??

I got Golferfella from my Sistah Susan for my birthday!! I love that!! And today I was finally able to break him out and ink him up!!

I've been hosting (well, trying to) the Bella challenges on SCS and today I did a color challenge of Pumpkin Pie, Choc. Chip, and Old Olive. Yummy huh? So this is my outcome of colors. I also used some Sands of Time paper from TAC.

The FORE is from the TAC golf set and YOU is from the Cmas set. I just colored the letters with my markers. The ribbon CTMH. Simple and good for a guy birthday or just because. I think I'll give him to my golferfella.

I didn't have much time online yesterday, not being home. And tonight we are doing the family birthday dinner. But tomorrow is my day and I plan to play away!!

Happy Monday

Hey all...I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. It was nice here and we got some yard work done and spent some family time too. You can check out the family blog for those pics.

I got to create a few cards and these are ones that are going postal this week.

This first one with Winobella is going to Kristin and Travis to thank them for the Birthday card.
I've had this magnet paper for some time and finally used it up. I colored Bella and mounted her on some Black CS, adorned with ribbon and mounted on the magnet paper. You can see in the second pic she can hang on the fridge.


This card is going to Cori, my RAK friend from Jen's JT RAK club.

I used Sweet Tweet from TAC and the DP is TAC, Rustic Chic.











Another Bella Magnet card. This Bella is going to my Sistah Susan. I love Cosmobella and I had to get these charms from Stamping Bella to go along with her. (You might have to click on the pic to see the charm hanging on the ribbon) The baubles are also going to Susan.

The CS is from my scrap box, but it's Bazzill. You can see the magnet part that is falling down some...I can't figure out how to attach them better without ruining the magnets.

That's all for now. Monday chores are calling me. I've been working on some other stuff for the craft fair too...only 3 more weeks now! Ahhh......

Some Fun

Well, my home is a hub for 7 & 8 yo boys right now. One showed up right before lunch, the other two had called and came over. So no stamping during nap time since I can't confine all of them in the basement with me!

I was reading on Google and Chris posted this experiment.

SHe wants us all to play and link back here ---> http://www.relevantblog.blogspot.com/(Mary DeMuth)

So if you are reading this, you are tagged - show us your answers. If you do, leave me a comment so I can enjoy reading them!!

10 years ago I was a senior in High School (Yep, next summer is my class reunion!) I was probably enjoying a break from Teacher's Conventions, and I am trying to remember if it was that year or my junior year we tried to see George Strait over that break? Hmm.... Anyway, that's where I was.

20 years ago, I was getting ready to turn 8. I am sure that I was tormenting my lil bro somehow, probably in 2nd grade that year. I know that I was collecting Barbies (nowdays it's Bellas...no real difference! LOL) b/c that year I took over 100 pairs of Barbie shoes to school on the 100th day!

30 years ago, I was non existent. My parents had been married a year I think at this time. Who would have thought 2 years later I would've been coming!!

Have a great day. I've decided to make some popcorn, watch my shows on DVR and keep an eye on the boys outside...and sulk for missing my stamp time.

Tutorial on Storing UnMounted Stamps

Hey all... I wanted to get this out of the way today as there is no school, so I don't know what my day will hold.

This is what I've done for storing my stamps from The Angel Company. As you know, these stamps come as Blue rubbah, and you mount them on the EZ mount foam and cut them out.

A few other stamps companies that I have found like this are (of course) Bellas, Missy B, Mandarin Pixie.
Some companies, like Cornish Heritage Farms and Gina K. will offer both Wood Mounted and un mounted.

So this is how I store my TAC stamps and will most likely do something similar for my Bellas.

I bought these ten CD cases from the local Radio Shack for $6.

Maybe you can find them cheaper at a bigger store...but I live in Hicktown and this is what we have. You also have to make sure that you get the ones that can take out the inserts on. Some cases (I think the jewel cases) are molded into the back. So make sure that you get the kind you can pop the inside out of.

You will also need white paper, a marker, black ink pad, a trimmer, stamps, acrylic blocks and cleaner. (I'm telling you this b/c I ran up and down the stairs a hundred times to do this!! I should have done it in the stamp room)

Here you see where I popped the inside out.
Next close the case and draw a line in the opening on the left hand side. You'll notice there is a lip there and if you store your stamps under that lip, it will protrude into your stamps and ruin them.
Next I used some plain white computer paper and stamped the images onto it. The paper measures about 4 3/4" by 4 1/2"
After I stamped them I cleaned them up again and stored them inside the CD Case. You can see where I made my line and how I left the stamps away from it.
The I slipped the stamped sheet into the CD case and Viola! I'm done. This takes up so much less space than any other storage for stamps. I have a CD case holder that I'll put on top of my desk and can just grab at them anytime.

You can also use a address label and label the ends of them. You can easily color code them as well to have all Fall stamps Orange, Christmas stamps Red, etc.

OK, hope you enjoyed...thanks for stopping in. And have a great day! Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow!!

Pumpkins

This is kinda blurry huh? Oh well..someday I'll get that picture taking down.

My friend Khristi let me borrow this stamp. I stamped it on the canvas paper from CTMH and frayed the edges a little. I love that paper. THe DP is some CM stuff I found in my stash for Fall. Perfect huh?

Super Simple and fun.

Tomorrow I am going to post a Tuturial on storing your Angel Co. stamps.

There is no more school this week so I don't know how much I'll get done. We are expecting company as well so I want the house to be clean. With five people here all day? That's no easy task!

Hello

So did you all see the new Member Companies at SCS yet? Of course, Bellas are there as well as many other great companies. It's a whole lotta fun.

So I was crafty over the weekend. When we ventured out of town, I found these awesome stickers from Stamping Station for our Hometeam. So of course, I bought them...no kids I know in HS tho. But while looking for mojo, I decided to craft a frame and add it to the craft fair pile. Someone will surely need this for a senior picture right?

I covered it with Bazzill, added the stickers and then painted the edges with MM paints. I left it fairly simple in case it was for a Boy.

Back to work today and tonight is stamp club. I'll share with you all what we make tomorrow!!

Um, do I read too many blogs??

I do. And I read them via Google Reader. I simply add the subscriptions and when new posts are up, I see that and read them. Very Handy!

I didn't realize that I have 70 subscriptions!! And this said...

From your 70 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 1,551 items, starred 4 items, shared 0 items, and emailed 0 items. {Guess I read and don't share enough!!}

Guess whose Blog I read the most posts on? Yep, Allison's Stamping When I Can {One of my firsts and one of my Favs...}

The Time of day I read the most - ties between 3 pm and 9 pm. {Coffee breaks and before Bed...hmmm}

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the only 2 days I don't read more than 175 posts. {Are you all posting less or am I more busy?}

In the last three weeks, on Oct. 4th I read the most posts in one day...108

Very Interesting...

Happy Mail Day!!

It was fun to go to the mail today and get some many great goodies.

First my order from Stamping Bella came. I got some charms to use on cards and some Baubles for my Sistah Susan.

I also got some great Birthday RAK cards...how fun!!

This first one is from Michelle (mlehmer) from the Wish Rak on SCS for my birthday. I love it...so cute!!












This second Bella one is from Shelly Socha on the Bellaholics group. She was thanking me for hosting the Bella Babe contest and wished my Happy Birthday too!! I love the card and am so happy for Golferfellas. I would love to make some cards for Greg to send out!! Yeah!! Playing!!

I also got some BabyFellaBellas that I swapped over the weekend. Yeah!!

Now to find time to play! Hmm.... Working today and tomorrow...church Wednesday, no school for 4 days, which means kidlets to entertain, company coming, class reunion meeting, life, laundry and the whole bit. Some day I'll fit in some stamping time.

I do have more to show you tomorrow tho..I fit time in yesterday!!

Tea anyone?

A while back I got these fun lil TeaBags from The Bag Ladies at our local drugstore. The tags had sayings on them and I knew that I could use them in my cards somehow, right?
Well this is the outcome. I tried 3 other tea bag holders ideas so that the tag would come out. This has been the best so far. I need to tweek it a little if I make more tho. But I am happy with it.

The saying reads Throw away all evidence of him and bring me a pint of HagenDaaz. I think Craveabella would have worked better but this is what I had on hand.



Cardstock - SU!
PP - Creative Memories
Ribbon - May Arts
Image - Bubblebella from Stamping Bella
Brad - unknown...from my Sistah Susan!!







And this is for a Bella swap...we are making Calendars. I choose Oct. so I could use Witchybella (which also came from Susan!! yourock!!)

I'm not done, I just want Tangi to look at this and make sure I'm doing it right. Then I'll show you the finished ones later on.

Have a great day.

Wanna Scrapbook?

Hey Local readers...

Jenn Stevens is coming to town and has some awesome classes booked. Check them out here

http://boysmamaxtwo.wordpress.com/2007/10/11/wanna-scrapbook/

Won't ya join us!!

Nurse Bella???

Hi all!!

Here is what I have done with Dental Bella. A friend of mine asked me to make her a Nursebella card and I said you bet! But I didn't have one and I would've gotten a great one from the gals on Bellaholics, but opted to try and transform Dentalbella. I had her from an image swap.

I adhered a scrap paper with RX on it over the tooth and drew stethoscope over the brush. You can see that better in the next picture!!

I love how it turned out!!

The CS is from SU! and the brown background is actually a sticker-stock from CTMH and so is the ribbon. The brads I found in my stash. The sentiment is from Words by Wilson.

So Sweetie, you card is ready!!




Today is my Dad's birthday - Happy Birthday Dad!

We are going out to see them after dinner tonight and take his gift.

Also, tomorrow is the last day to post a card for BLOG CANDY!!! And I posted a picture of it on that thread!!

For you

I thought I would post a card tonight since I didn't today.

We headed out of town today to get some shopping in. David finally has a Halloween costume. RC and McKinley have a few Christmas presents and I picked up some goodies for Blog Candy.

Be sure you post your Birthday Cards before Friday night!!

Stamp: Sweet Tweet, TAC

Paper: TAC - Rustic Chic, SU!

Other: Hardware and Ribbon from CTMH!

I am sticking this in the mail for my stamping friend Jaime!!

And come back tomorrow to see what I did to Dentalbella!!

I am here .....I think....

I don't like to start days out like today, but it's OK now.





Last night, McKinley fell asleep way to early and then woke up after the boys were in bed. She ran back and forth between me in the front room and Greg in our bedroom. She was her regular crazy, silly self, but way to late. Finally at midnight I put her whining in bed and went to bed myself in my bed. I do not remember anything else until the phone rang at 6:30 AM! I was in the front room in the chair. Don't remember getting there or when and if my friend wouldn't have called I may very well still be there! LOL..

So startled awake, I found the phone and she wanted me to SUB for her at her pre-school today. I did, I'm done, I've been drinking coffee all morning...lil wound too tight, it's all good.

Now, on to the good stuff....







I joined the flock and altered a clippee. We've had these floating around here since Greg and I got together. It was his passion for Office Supplies that led me to him you know...lol.... No, we've just had them and they are too big for anything I would use, so I altered them. Seriously, if it lays around too long, it's mine!!

Stamps: Trendy Holiday Tags - TAC
Paper: Scenic Route & SU!
Ink : SU!
Ribbon: May Arts, various

I have to say it was fun and I'll eventually get the rest of them done.

Yesterday I added some new cards for Fall to the local store here. Tomorrow we are headed out of town for a day trip to get some shopping in.

***Also want to post that on SCS they've announced a new Member's Companies group for some special stamp companies. Bellas are there!! Yeah!!! So there is going to be a new forum over there esp. for us addictabellas!! You can read more about them all here. SCS.

My Heart Sings

Happy Monday Morning all...

Another of my new TAC stamp sets is Heart Sings. I love snowmen and for holiday cards, they are pretty universal.

This first card I stamped the image with Noir Pallete black ink. Colored with my markers. The DP is Scenic Route and the ribbon is American Crafts. I punched the tab with my slit punch and added a brad, although I didn't center it perfectly!!


These next two are my favorite. I've seen plain white cards and coloring and love them. So now I felt I finally had the perfect set to try it out. Simply stamped the images on the White cardstock and colored. I drew the colors from the ribbon.
