Sunday Scrap.

Hi it's Sunday Scrap time again. This week I have Scraped my daughter Rebecca when she was 4 months old. The very small title is " I made a wish and you came true". I have used up some DSP squares from the DSP Sampler that I have been taking to workshops and won't need much longer. Not wanting to waste anything I thought I would use them in my paper craft.

Recipe
Stamp Sets: Stem Sayings, Perfect Punches
Card: So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Vellum
DSP: Tea Party
Markers: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron
Punches: eyelet boarder, 1 3/8" circle, fancy flower, round tab, butterfly
Tools: Big Shot- Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder
Accessories: So Saffron ribbon, White Taffeta ribbon, brads, rhinestone

Hope you get time to Scrap today.

Just Add Ink #31.

Just Add Ink have a colour challenge this week, Real Red, Choc Chip & Kraft. My favorite colours for Christmas. It's never too early to start Christmas cards. I've added a bit of Very Vanilla for the Top Note panel, stamped the greeting and tree from the Season of Joy stamp set and spritzed with the choc chip marker. The red flower has been clear heat embossed. The Kraft panel has been dry embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Thanks.

CD Holder.

Hi, I have been meaning to show you this for a while now. I made this CD Holder with photo's from the 2010 Stampin' Up! Convention for the Passion 4 Paper girls that where unable to attend. To show them what they missed out on. ;) I also made a couple extra for good friends Karen & Natasha. The inspiration came from Shannon West. I used the Circle Scissor Plus, the Life Definitions stamp Set, the Simple Serif Mini alphabet & Numbers set and on the inside one of the images from the Tiny Tags set in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

Hope your having a great week.

Tote-ally Nina.

It's my nieces 21st birthday today, it totally amazes me how fast the years go by. I have spent the last couple of days helping out with the party plans. She decided to have a very non traditional 21st party, breakfast in the park, which was really fun. We had relay races, egg & spoon races, thong throwing competition and lots of other fun activities. But of course she is heading off for a night on the town with her girl friends. While I headed home for a nap.

.

Here is the card I made for her using the Tote-ally Tess stamp set. I have tried to make her look like my niece, paper pieced her clothes and gave her a soccer ball, she loves to play soccer. You may notice a couple products in this card you haven't seen before, just a sneak peak from the new catalogue for you. :)

Another Swap.

I forgot to show you the swap I made for the Passion 4 Paper swap challenge. It's a cute gift box made out of the scallop envelope die. I joined 4 together to form the box and decorated it with the Vintage Vogue stamp set in Melon Mambo ink.

Can you see the dazzling diamonds on the flower?

I made an extra one to give as a thank you, filled with chocolates, for a very special Mum from playgroup. I hope she likes it.

Swaps

Good Morning Stampers, last week the Passion 4 Paper girls got together for some stampin fun. Each time we get together we have a swap challenge. This time we had to make something using a stamp set out of the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue using one or more of the new colours. Rich Razzelberry, Melon Mambo, Soft Suede. Well the girls certainly came up with fabulous cards and all completely different, using different stamp set.

Christine used All a Flutter.

Julie used Tote-ally Tess and Cottage Garden.

Teressa used Pony Party.

Angie used Cottage Garden and Heard from the Heart with the Extra-Large Two-Step Bird punch.

We always have a great time when we get together and I can't wait until our next time.

Have a great day.

Just Add Ink #27

I needed a card for my nephews birthday and the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink this week fitted well. Using the Lots of Bots stamp set and adding supernova glitter with crystal effects to the number makes this a not too cute card for an 8 year old. I think this sketch will work well as a scrap page too. You can check out the great projects by the Design Team here and the other entries.

Recipe

Stamp Set: Lots of Bots

Card: Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White

Ink: StazOn black, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Gray

Time for Tea - Masking.

Hi, I spent a lovely couple of hours with my Aunty M from Darwin and my Mum yesterday. Aunty M showed me a special album she made for her Son In-law's 30th birthday, his first 30 years. She did an amazing job. So proud of her, it was a huge project. And a Grandparent book for her eldest grandson, that is fabulous. I'm already looking forward to her next trip down to spend more time with her and Uncle G.

I do have a card to show you. A sweet card showing the Masking technique. Using the Share a Cup stamp in the Autumn-Winter Mini. This stamp is so cute, and it comes singular. Does that make sense? It does not come in a set, it's a single stamp with the tea cup and the "Hello" greeting. So here it is.

Recipe
Stamps: Share a Cup, Polka Dots-background stamp
Card: Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Markers: Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, So Saffron, Old Olive
Punches: scallop edge, trio flower
Accessories: silver brad, white ribbon

Have a great day.

Sunday Scrap.

Hi and welcome to Sunday Scrap, this weeks page is of Alex when he first started walking. He was so cute then. I've used a sketch from Paper Craft Planet, I've found I scrap much faster when I'm working from a sketch. So I can get more pages done, I've got a lot to do. :)

Here is a close up of the title, I embossed the letters with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. It turned out pretty good.

Recipe

Stamp Set: Fox & Friends

Markers: Choc Chip, Summer Sun

Card: Kraft, Choc chip, Summer sun, Whisper White

DSP: Good Morning Sunshine

Punches: 1 3/8" circle

Tools: Big Shot-Timeless Type Jr Alphabet, Top Note die, Circles #2 die, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Accessories: mat pack & tool

I discovered another reason why I'm such a slow scrapper, I spend too much time looking at the photo's, remembering. I just can't help myself.

Hope your having a great weekend.

More Playgroup Cards.

Today I have to show you some more birthday cards I made for Playgroup. These Sesame Street characters are made with lots of different punches and are so fun to make. Great for toddlers learning to count. The greeting is from the Outlined for Fun stamp set and the numbers are from the Timeless Type Junior Alpha dies.

TESC#118.

When I saw Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #118 I knew right away what I was going to do. With the Crazy for Cupcake stamp set and the Big Shot I made this fun girly teen birthday card. With quite a few of my daughters friends having birthdays in the last few weeks my supply of cards for teens is getting low so I need to stock up again. It's always good to have a few on hand. This is a 13x13cm square card so I needed to make an envelope to fit. You can see part of it behind the card.

Stamp Set: Crazy for Cupcakes
Ink: Rich Razzelberry
Marker: Old Olive
Card: Rich Razzelberry, Whisper White, Pale Plum
DSP: Cottage Wall
Punches: scallop edge, corner rounder

Note Book.

Just want to quickly show you the Thank you gift I made for my Convention room mate Nicole. As it was her very first Convention I thought a note book would come in handy for her. I also made one for myself and I filled up quite a lot of pagers.
