Whitewashing

Hey there Bloggers! How's your week going? It's Wednesday today and I'm sad to say that the week is half over. I am sad to say it because yesterday I have to admit that I wasn't feeling great and had a really bad headache for most of the day. That did not however stop me from stamping, LOL, or going to an interview. The interview went well, and I think the stamping did too...LOL. Anyway back to the subject at hand, I am sad that the week is half over because I have had so many things that I wanted to do but I don't know when I will have to go back to work so I don't want to waste any time.

Today's project is one that I actually made at last month's Stampers Club. This card was made using the Whitewashing technique. So pull out those paintbrushes and create!

MDS Monday

Hey there Bloggers! It's Monday again, and the first full week of being out of work. I am enjoying getting things done but I have to admit I think I spent a lot of my time last week at appointments. So this is a new week of possibilities and accomplishment! I hope that you all are looking forward to the possibilities in your week on this Monday! 

Today's project is another one that I found on www.mydigitalstudio.net

I really liked that this project was a hybrid project. It was created using digital downloads and then the 3-d project was created.

Tag Topper Punch box

Happy Wednesday Bloggers! I am very happy to have made it to the half way mark of the week. Only a few more days until our last skating competition of the season and maybe the last competition that my daughter will compete in. It's a little bittersweet. 

Today's project is a cute little box that I found online. I can't remember where I saw the little box but I thought that it was very cute. Unfortunately there were no directions so I had to figure it out for myself along with some help from my fabulous husband. And then I shared it with my Stamper's club last month.

Hey there Bloggers! Happy Wednesday! You have officially made it half way through the week! LOL

Wow I have been so tired this week. It was a busy weekend last weekend with skating and hockey so I really didn't get any down time. We were at a hockey tournament in Millet with our son while our daughter was at a skating competition in Olds. They both did very well and in fact our daughter got 4th place on her interpretive program which she had never competed before and placed 2nd in her in Freeskate program. Our son did not win but played some awesome games and we really had a great time.

Hey there Bloggers!

I saw this layout on mydigitalstudio.net and I thought I'd share it with you. This is a great use of a QR code. If you aren't familiar with a QR code is, it is a barcode that you can imbed information into so when it is scanned by a QR code reader it will take you to a link, video or other information. 

QR codes can be made and read easily with an app downloaded from your App store. 

In this case, Dana Lewis has used a QR code to be scanned to watch a video of her cute kids.

My Paper Pumpkin March

Hey there Bloggers! Well, it's Wednesday, half way through the week and half way to my creativity day (Saturday!)

Tonight is also my Stamper's Club night so I will have some awesome projects to feature in the next few days. I am showcasing the Tag Topper Punch this month for my club so stay tuned!

Today I wanted to mention that I subscribed again to My Paper Pumpkin. I had cancelled my subscription back in the fall as I wasn't overly impressed. I had heard that Stampin' Up had made some changes and being a customer myself as well as believing that I should be informed about products before I tell my customers to buy something, I decided to give it a second chance. 

So I received my March kit the other day and I opened it up last night. I was pleasantly surprised. They have definitely stepped it up a bit. This month you receive in the kit two stamps, two stampin spot inks, a sheet of glitter pop dots, a sheet of glue dots, 8 cards, 8 envelopes with gold liners, and 8 wooden embellishments. Not too bad! Here's a picture of the items that you get...

Once I have a chance I will post the cards that I made using the instructions and the stepped up cards that I make from these items.

If you would like to sign up to receive My Paper Pumpkin every month, please click here.

Sorry, a little late today. But well worth the wait!

I found this project online and I think it's the cutest thing ever! How clever to use MDS and Shrink Plastic to create a personalized keychain!

Peaceful Petals Sponging

Hey there Bloggers! Woohoo it's Friday! And I am headed to a skating competition this weekend in St Albert. 

Are your kids involved in sports? This will be the last year for my daughter as she is moving on to University next year but I am sure that she will keep up with her skating when she comes home. She just won't be competing anymore. Next year will be my son's last year in hockey too. Life is changing...

Today's card is one that I made based on an idea that I saw on Hero Arts blog. It has some sponging, some emboss resist and some layering.

Enjoy!
