STAMPANNA

The Journey

Happy Hump Day!  Only 2 more days until I scrapbook with my friends at Scrap-a-Doodle-Doo.  :) Need to start page planning.  Its on my agenda for tonight.

Today's Project is one I did a short while ago.  It was a gift for a sweet friend, Sherri, for her Birthday.  I decided I wanted to make her a planner using one of our favorite paper lines.  Simple Stories.   
 

    

Did a little bit of sewing, fabri-tac-ing, and distressing.  So happy that she loved the planner. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  ;)  Be sure to check back tomorrow for my 2 Cute Rubber Stamps Design Team card.

Have a great Day!

Hi Friends,

There are only a few spots left for my class This Thursday.  Today I am showing you one of the cards we are making.  This is just one of the 5 cards we are making- using "Finger Inking" as its technique.  Below is a brief description of the class. 

We will be using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and water color paper to create what looks like a "granite" look as a background to your stamped image.  The Granite Look is a really beautiful technique.  We will be making 5 cards with this technique. Each is using a few different colors to give your cards all a slightly different look.  Warning:  You will be getting your finger tips inky.   :) 

Supplies needed:  A non-stick mat by Ranger (I have 2 so if you don't have one you can use mine or you can purchase one from the store) and your basic tool kit including paper trimmer.

Timeless Memories

Happy Friday!  This week went by so slow.  I sort of took the week off from "creating".  Until tonight.  I have some stuff on my to do list for Scrap-A-Doodle Doo.  Not finished but I did make a dent in 1 project.  :)  But that's not why I am posting today. 

Today I want to share with you a layout I did.  The idea from this layout was "borrowed" from Irene Tan.  Let me just say.  Another awesome lady. I'ma just'a sayin.  I did change it up a bit but ended up using the same papers as she had.  Holy Macro.  I love it.  I really enjoyed the hours I spent in making this layout at the Crop this past Saturday with some dear friends.  Who I really hope invite me again to join in their sacred group.  :)  The reason it took me hours is because I kept Talking, shopping, shopping some more, eating, and eating some more.  But any way, you get the gist of why it took me so long.  :)  he he he..  

Oh I got side tracked.  Here is the layout.

 
 I used a Creative Memories large circle cutter to cut the page in a circle.  I may have to do more circle layouts as I like the way they look.  The Base of the page began as a 12 x 12 sheet of coordination's paper that you sand and the core shows through on the embossed parts of the page.  In this page it was the clocks.  The pattern paper is by TCP.  And the word ante the clock happened to be on the same sheet.  I just cut them out.  The Pattern behind my picture is from October Afternoon in their Thrift Shop collection.  I happened to have a Skeleton Key I got from the Michael's Dollar spot a while back and decided to use it on this page.  It is a little chunky for a scrapbook page, but hey, I like chunky pages.  :)  All the stitching is done by hand.  The flowers are from Prima.  I had some ink still on my sponge when I inked up the edges of the October Afternoon paper so I just added a little color to the flowers to help them blend a little better.  On top of the "clock" cut out I attached a Tim Holtz clock face to it to add a little more weight to the page as well as to blend in with the key. 

If you will take a moment and look the right of this page you will see a "follow this blog" via facebook.  Click on "follow" to follow me.  :)   

Thanks so much for looking at my blog today!
