Oh my! It’s been a month since I’ve posted. I really need to post much more often.
Today, I visited the new JLO Flicker to see what was happening. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to do much, except sleep, shower, eat and work. Imagine my surprise when I see a sneak peek for a COCKER SPANIEL STAMP! Yep, I’m shouting. I’m giddy. YAY!
I was searching for more info, cuz you wouldn’t believe Jess didn’t let me know she had a Cocker Spaniel set in the works! (pouts)
Check this out! Cocker Spaniel Pup
I wanna see the rest of the Cocker Spaniel stamps. (stomping foot) NOW!
tee hee
It’s going LIVE on the 31st. I’ll most likely be at the Univeristy of Scouting; but intend to check it out ASAP!
The light bulb went ON! I found two band-aid tins in my Stampin’ FLYBabies Fall Craft Kit. Would you belive a gift card fits in there perfectly?! The fall kit had some really pretty burgundy paper / tan / green paper that could do double duty for Christmas projects. Two patterns of it! And off I go to create not one, not two, but THREE gift card holders. Man…I’m gift card holdered out! Thankfully, there’s only one more gift card to “wrap.” He might just get a regular ole’ box. (wink)
Ok…here’s the first one:
Mom will love this! Inside I stashed a $50 Michael’s Gift Card! I am positive she will use the tin to stash things, maybe coins…who knows.
Stamps: Tidy Alphabet, one of the “tag” stamps from SU!
Paper: Reminisce DP, Cranberry Crisp, PTI White
Ink: Cranberry Crisp
Accessories: Cranberry Crisp stitched, Small Tag Punch,, Large Tag Punch, ribbon, Sticky Strip
Here’s another tin:
This is for a kind nieghbor. Ya know, I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 10 years. I don’t go around asking for help. I just do it myself, ya know. Well…to keep a long story short…this neighbor helped me out on the farm this fall. I am deeply appreciative for and of his help. Inside he will find a $50 Gift Card to Ryan’s. I hope his family will enjoy dining there as much as mine does.
Creative Details: An Imaginisce chipboard ribbon slide was smooshed in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, doused with SU! Glassy Glaze Enamel and fired with the heat gun. I punched a hole with my Cropadile for the word brad. That was THREE holes actually, but, who’s counting (wink). Wide grosgrain ribbon that matches Certainly Celery and some cranberry colored ribbon from the Craft Kit were threaded through the slide.DP is a fall design from Reminisce, which I think works wonderfully for Christmas as well.
Paper: Reminisce DP
Ink: Chocolate Chip Craft
Accessories: Ribbon, Chipboard Ribbon Slide, Word Brad, sticky strip, Crop-a-Dile, Corner Rounder, SU! Glassy Glaze Enamel, Heat Gun
And one more gift card holder.
(sigh)
Ever create something and wonder if it’s cheesy? That’s how I feel about this one…then I look at it…there’s things I really do like about it!
The tag…it’s an Imaginisce Chipboard tag (from the SFB Fall CK) smooshed in Creamy Caramel Craft Ink & dried with the heat gun. It looks like leather. I love the pinecone stamp (also from the SFB Fall CK). I colored the image with SU! markers and huffed on the image before stamping.
I love the paper; candy cane design from Provo Craft, dotted DP from Reminisce on top of the can and punched in circles (SFB Fall CK). I love the wide cream grosgrain with the faux velvet zigzag on top…I love the punched shapes and buttons (SFB Fall CK), kind a sorta.
Well, there’s definitely NOTHING cheesy about what’s inside…a $50 Lowe’s Gift Card! I’m sure Joe will love the gift card. He usually chucks the box / wrapper / whatever pretty darn quick. (wink)
Stamps: Unknown
Paper: Provo Craft, Reminisce
Ink: Creamy Caramel Craft
Accessories: 1″ Circle Punch, Twine, Imagninsce Chipboard, Buttons, Pop Dots, Sticky Strip, Coluzzle
‘Twas the night before Christmas, I’m glued to the tree.
I’m wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
“Or a Cricut,” I said, with a smile on my face.
And that’s when I heard him, “Hi Santa!” I said.
“You know….good little girls should be in their beds.”
“I know I should Santa, and now I’ve got caught.
But I was just so excited to see what you brought.”
“Well, let’s take a look in this room where you work.”
He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear…
“You’ve got enough crap, I’ll see you next year!”

— from a SplitCoastStamper received who this from one of her customers.
I was inspired by the MFT Who’s That Girl? Challenge (MFTWTG14) – Dec 15. The challenge was to create a card in blue, brown & white with “Call Me”.
I don’t have “Call Me”. So I had to get creative.
This is how I get called. Twice a day. At feeding time. By my cows.
I used MFT’s Punny Farm! I’ve also pulled out JessicaLynnOriginal’s Relaxation Tree for All Seasons! I’m lovin’ the fall look for this tree.
I’m really pleased with the richness of the ground and the sky. I sponged the ground with Kiwi Kiss, Close to Cocoa and Always Artichoke. I sponged the sky with Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Basic Grey.
I’m going to use this in a progressive page. Featuring…what else, but my COWS!
Stamps: JLO Relaxation Tree for All Seasons, MFT’s Punny Farm, Rubbernecker Barbed Wire Fence, Tidy Alphabet
Paper: SU! Hostess Prints Back (Kraft), Not Quite Navy, PTI White
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Chocolate chip, Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Basic Grey, Close to Cocoa, Kiwi Kiss, Always Artichoke, Palette Hybrid Noir
Accessories: Sponge, Masking “stuff”, Copic Markers, Pop Dots, Xyron, Sponge
Techniques: Masking, Sponging
We went through a really rough patch this summer…really rough. There was a little kitty, the daughter of Callie and Phillip’s beloved Tigger. Both of these cats were killed this summer and are buried side by side up at the grain bins. When school started in August, Phillip decided to take care of this little kitty. He named her “Tigger the 2nd”. I shortened it to “T2”. For a while, we did feed the cats on the porch. Really, they should be fed in the barn. So eventually, we began feeding them in the barn again and took T2 to the barn. Shortly after moving her to the barn, I noticed two holes in her neck. They were infected. YUCK! So I cleaned them the best I could with peroxide and applied neosporin each day for about a week. She was still unsteady on her feet, but I didn’t see anything else. Then one morning I saw some “snot” on another place on her neck. UGH! Upon further investigation, it was NOT snot, there was another set of holes in her neck. She had four holes in her neck!
That afternoon after work, I went to the pet store and bought a crate. I was not about to lose this kitty that Phillip had named T2, especially after he came home from a week of Boy Scout Camp & found Tigger dead in the barn. I also made a vet appointment.
The next day, I pack T2 away in her crate & take her to the vet! Poor thing. Not only did she have four holes in her neck, she had fleas, ear mites and a respiratory “thing”. Can ya say miserable?
DH was very firm in the years after we got married that there were to be NO pets in the house. I guess he kind of figured T2 was coming to live with us when I brought her back from the vet. He didn’t say a word.
I think T2 has been a healing thing for our family. She makes Dale smile, she makes Phillip smile. She makes me smile.
Here’s a page created using items from the Stampin’ FLYBabies Fall Craft Kit dedicated to our little lifesaver.
T2 loves to sleep on Dale. She loves to play at night, while we’re trying to sleep. Sometimes, she’s really annoying. She even jumped in Dale’s bowl of chili he was having for lunch one day. Dale just laughed and got her out of his chili. He made the comment that “she cleaned up good” when I arrived home from work that evening. She even likes to play with her poop or the clumps from the litter box. This little kitty can really amuse herself.
I’ve since nicknamed her “Trouble to the 2nd degree”. Dale calls her the “Attack Cat”. Phillip is still trying out nicknames for her.
in Kentucky! We had ice / freezing rain / snow. That combo, in the correct order, makes for GREAT sledding. But I was unable to partake in the sledding fun, as I worked yesterday. My son had a get out of school free card yesterday and AGAIN today. Since things in life are rarely “free”, they’ll have to make up two days of school next spring.
I was looking at my blog banner! It looks so strange…all bright and summery! I need some SNOW! I’ve contacted the fab Ms. Beth for assistance.
All this talk of SNOW and my project is pumpkins! Here’s the first project I have created with the Stampin Flybabies Fall Craft Kit.
I love that expression “Hello, Pumpkin!” I just had to use it as a title.
Here’s a close-up of the left side:
My son rasied pumpkins this year. I usually do it, but he wanted to. He had a bumper crop of big, firm, heavy pumpkins this year. It was the year of the pumpkin!
The circles were cut using Coluzzle and then I added a row of chocolate chip brads, then tied a knot and added that.
Here’s a close-up of the right side:
I love Pumpkin Patch Riley. I received the image through Wish RAK on SCS! Riley was colored with Copic Markers. This was one image I colored ahead of time and actually used. I’m not a fan of coloring images ahead of time, because I never know how I’m going to use them. I’m also loving using those SU! Carousel Notes. This was creating using one of Sally’s sketches and Sally likes circles in her layouts. I’m getting lots of use out of that Coluzzle. (Did you know that is pronounced to rhyme with puzzle – that’s the only way I can remember how to spell it – yeah..I know DUH me.) I do love the “pumpkin” word brad over the chocolate ribbon.
I’m not sure on the vendor of the paper, but I will check.
I just had to try something new! It’s still fall & I am itching to make some fall things! However, I decided to ink up a new JLO stamp set – Santa Train!
Jessica sent me this very cute, detailed Santa Train stamp set. I figured it would be great for scrapping my DS Christmases from when he was younger! I’m thinking if I’m going to do this much detailed coloring…I’m gonna make it on something I’m gonna KEEP!
I’m really very happy with how this page turned out.
Creative Details: Stamped in the lower left corner is Jessica Lynn Original’s Santa Train! What a cute detailed stamp. I colored this with Copic markers. All the holly & berries, the bow and the “25”, I covered with the Glaze Pen. Other things, like the Christmas Tree, the reindeer antlers, the elves’ hats, I covered with At You Spica Glitter pens from Copic. DP at the top was torn using the SU! Tearing Edge. DP is from Paper Pizazz. Titling is Tidy Alphabet and Tidy Numbers in Brocade Blue on PTI White. Matting is Brocade Blue & Night of Navy. The small photos are mounted with pop dots.
As I mentioned before, these are very detailed stamps. I did use a magnifying glass to see the details more clearly as I colored. It was like being in a doll house. The details are amazing – from the Santa, Christmas Tree and fireplace on the caboose to the cute elves peeking out of the first car!
WOW! I can’t believe Dad turned 60 on Saturday! I did give him a call to wish him a happy birthday. We’re planning to have a cookout / birthday party for Dad & my DS on Sunday. Here’s something I made for Dad.
Here’s the front view:
Here’s the back view:
I was altering a wooden box from the Stampin’ Flybabies Summer Craft Kit and wanted to do something different. I decided to spray paint the box using three colors – a walnut color, a tan color and gold. I spray painted outside in the shop, in front of the fan. Haha – I was NOT downwind.
I had some SU! Carousel Notes I had yet to open. I thought to make “flowers”. I used John Deere stickers to decorate some, Chocolate Chip Love & Happiness Rub Ons to alter others, with chocolate brads in the middle as seeds.
Inside the wooden box is a styrofoam cube. I purchased cattails and black eyed susan flowers from Michaels. The papercrafted “flowers” are attached to bamboo skewers. I used my Coluzzle to create the Summer Sun and Garden Green circles, used my SU! Scallop Punch and my Marvy Mega Scallop Circle to create the other circles.
I punched a Giga Scalloped Oval from Soft Sky CS and used to cover the handles, because although I picked up moss at Michaels, I put it back because I got green styrofoam. Well, after I got it all put together, I could see the “backbones” and wanted to hide that. However, I wanted to get my project completed and did not want to go back to Michaels. So I had to think of something. This was what I came up with.
Here’s a close up of the flower arrangement from the front:
And from the back:
The back panels are attached with pop dots.
I received the Tractor Time image and the John Deere stickers through the SCS Wish RAK Forum. I punched the stamped image with a Marvy Mega Oval Punch and colored with Copic Markers. The “grass border”, I found at Michaels & can not remember what company makes it. I trimmed the bottom of the oval & inserted the tractor under the grass border.
You can really see the shimmer of the gold and the various colors used to paint the box. I hope Dad likes this. I ordered him a John Deere cake, too! I love this & I am so NOT the dried “fake” flowers person – aaaaaachooooooo! They collect dust. But this – I like. I hope Dad enjoys it.

This my favorite story. Danny and the Dinosaur. Mom said we read that story so much, I had it memorized! While I do not have my original copy of the book, when my son was in elementary school, I picked up a copy at the Book Fair. I still read it ocassionally. It give me this warm cozy feeling. My son, on the other hand, runs from the room with his ears covered. (shrug)
I created this card for ND Stamper’s July 4th Challenge over in SCS’s Wish RAK Forum. We were to create a masculine birthday card using SC182.
Card base is Chocolate Chip. I selected three patterns from my Basic Grey 6 x 6 Archaic pad. I have the 12 x 12 pad, too. (wink, wink) Using SU!’s 1 3/8 punch to punch out three of each design. Run those through Xyron and attached.
Focal image is a Rub-On from the Archaic collection, on Paper Trey White, matted on Not Quite Navy and Chocolate Chip, attached with dimensionals.
The twine I received from Wish RAK; the beads, I inherited from a completed Cub Scout Project (from one young fella to another young fella – how cool is that?) The sentiment is yet another rub-on and is quite B R I G H T! It’s from SU!’s A Perfect Day Collection.
I used my nifty Basic Grey Rub-On Tool for this project.
All cards created during Wish RAK’s July 4 Challenges will be donated to the troops. Wish RAK’s goal is 1,000 cards! I sure hope this card makes one little boy smile!
Supply List:
