Crafting For All Seasons... click here 

Good morning all my crafty friends! Busy day today at our house getting ready for lots of work to be done at the house in the country today. Let me tell you about it. We own a house in a very small town in South Carolina. We bought it from my hubbub's maternal grandparents in 2006. Prior to that the house has been in several different owner hands and has gone through many transformations as it was built in 1886 and was the original school house for this town. We gutted it down to the studs, and have been rebuilding while changing the floor plan around too.  Here's a sample of our work....

We also have photos of before we started the gutting and plan on organizing them into a progress scrapbook when the work is completed.  So there is lots of PAINTING in my plans for this weekend.

Enough about that... here's a SPOTTY card I made for some challenges going on right now in blogland.

Project # 304 of this year
  • A2 size card 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
  • Papers from scraps 
  • Bows & Ribbon from Michael's
  • Sentiment matting is using Fiskars Journal / Bracket punch
  • CARDZ TV STAMPS "Make A Wish" stamp set 
  • Peachy Keen face PK-451 Wide Eyed Kids 1 1/8"
  • CREATE A CRITTER Carrot p. 26 cut @ 4"
  • Carrot on an Action Wobble from TSQ Royal Shoppe
  • Chalking for cheeks and white gel pen for eyes and freckles
My entry for the following Challenges:
Crafts and Me #90 Birthdays
Anything Goes Challenge #70 Polka Dot Birthday theme
Celebrate the Occasion #68 Happy Birthday
Die Cuttin' Divas #71 Summer Fruits and Veggies
Clear It Out! Anything Goes & use more than 1 ribbon in your project

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be posting more projects today, so come back and see me now, ya hear? :) Janis

Hi, guys! I had such a great time today at lunch because I got to meet up with one of my crafting friends and fellow Design Team Sister, Sherri of The Squeaky Scraper. How cool is that?! She was traveling through leaving Florida and heading to North Carolina, so she passed right by the exit we live off of in South Carolina. We met at Rush's for lunch. My daughter, Bonnie, went with me, and I got to meet Sherri and her husband. I love all my crafting friends!

Silly Shells
Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps
Click here to shop
Here are 2 projects I made using this stamp set:
Project # 271 of this year
MFPS June #18
Project # 272 of this year
MFPS June #19
Both of these are Mini Cards which measure 4" x 4" using SILLY SHELLS for both the images and sentiments. Each of the images are colored using chalks. I love the soft feel of coloring with chalks. White tulle was added to the boat card. 

Project # 290 of this year
MFPS June #21

And here is my Cricut creations using Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps sentiment stamps from the SILLY SHELLS stamp set. To see how to make one of these Post-It Note holders, see yesterday's post by clicking HERE. All of the measurements are there for you with another example of one I made. I'm making 4 of these so we can give them to the 4 ladies who work in our apartment office. They are always so nice!

For this particular project I used Cricut cart CROCS RULE and cut the Croc wearing a bathing suit @ 3 1/2" and added some googlie eyes. The Sun is from Cricut cart DOODLECHARMS p. 96 cut @ 1 1/2" with Shadow feature. The clouds are from Cricut cart CREATE A CRITTER p. 52 and cut @ 1" and again @ 1/2". The grass is also cut from CREATE A CRITTER p. 45 cut @ 1" and again at 1/2". The sentiment matting is cut using Cricut cart ELEGANT EDGES "Butterfly2" p. 51 Oblong & Shadow features cut @ 3 1/2" and ran through Cuttlebug with "Seeing Spots" embossing folder. It's also inked around the edges with Tea Dye ink.

Our daughter used to make jewelry when she was in high school (over 4 years ago), and she's had this box full of beads and metal, charms and wire... just sitting there. So she brought it over and said maybe I could use some of it to add to my cards. Yes! Party time! 

I love Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps sets. I love the images and the sentiments. I hope I inspired you this week to make a few purchases and create some awesome projects using these stamps. It's fun to use the stamped images and color them with chalks. It's also fun to use my Cricut along with MFPS sentiment stamps. Don't ever limit yourself. This is ART. Explore. Create. :)
