Supplies: Snowflake (Stampin'Up!), Flourish (Chic Alpha Set/Fancy Pants Designs), Crackle Background (Stampabilities); Lumiere Pearlescent Blue Acrylic Paint (Jacquard Products); VersaMark, Opalite Orchid Ice and Cypress Frost reinkers (Tuskineko); Clear, silver and Gold Embossing Powders (Ranger).
Christmas is almost here! And I still have to work on gifts and cards for family and friends...hope I send them out before Christmas! =)
For this card, I stamped and embossed the snowflake image in clear embossing powder on white cardstock. Then, I brushed Lumiere paint and let it dry. Then, I placed a piece of paper on and ironed it until the powder melted and revealed the design again.
For the black cardstock, I used Opalite reinkers and spread the inks with Squeegee (Tsukineko).
And I stamped and embossed Flourish (in silver) and Crackle (in gold) on ivory card.
Supplies: Snowflakes Stamp Set (Stampin'Up!), Brilliance Dew Drop Pearlescent Sky Blue (Tsukineko), sticker (Making Memories).

Last week was so hectic!
I am a member of Rockford-Freeport Illinois Kennel Club and the club had a dog show last weekend. I had to help as a steward in Obedience and Rally.
Needless to say...didn't have time to post...
And now, I'm all sore from standing almost all day long for 2 days...and I think I got a little bit sick, too. But here are some pictures from the show:
Best in Show (Sat & Sun)
Group 1st (Sat) and Group 4th (Sun)

I'm in another swap...a tag swap! These are the ones I've made...
I've used Japanese Maple (Stamp Camp) and Chic Alpha Set (Fancy Pants Designs) stamps, Brilliance Dew Drop Coffee Bean pigment ink pad (Tsukineko) and Pearl Ex Gold-Red ink pad (Jacquard Products).
My sister-in-law's baby boy...isn't he cute?
I was visiting "Two Peas in a Bucket" today and saw some free digital kits. Who doesn't like freebies (not that I download or use them very often...I've downloaded a couple of embellishments before and have never used them)? But, I guess I was in the mood today and decided to play with it. The result is the LO above...
Hope you like it!
My sister-in-law had her baby boy last night!!!
Congratulations to the parents!

Well...I was going to post some LO's yesterday...but my internet decided not to work properly! It was soooooo slow, it was driving me crazy! Actually, it's still kind of slow today...
But...at least, I was able to upload some pictures...
Here are some LO from the Sweet Baby Album posted previously...
For the big chipboard flower on the LO above, I painted it with white acrylic paint and dripped big drops of paint on the petals. Let it dry and paint a coat of Lumiere Pearlescent White (or you could just start with it, skipping the white acrylic paint). Let dry and rub Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy ink pad on the dots, edges and the center. Add a brad for the center.
Supplies: Lilac, Rosebud and Sophie Patterned Papers (BasicGrey), Chipboard Elements (Autumn Leaves and BasicGrey), brads (S.E.I.), Lumiere Pearlescent White and Neopaque White acrylic paint (Jacquard Products), Brilliance Dew Drop Pearlescent Poppy ink pad, ribbon, staples.

I can't believe it's September already...Fall is around the corner! So, I've decided to make this LO ("Pick of the Litter") with Autumn shades and hues.
I've also decided to choose a rubber stamp image each month and post 3 to 4 projects using the chosen image.
For this month, it will be Japanese Maple by Stamp Camp.
Now, back to the LO...my sheltie, Jazz, is 3 months-old here.
I stamped Japanese Maples in red and orange dye inks, sprayed Terra Cotta Walnut Ink Solution, enhanced the leaves with colored pencil and cut out the images.
Supplies: American Pet Dog Collection (Autumn Leaves), Birds & Butterflies White Rub-ons (BasicGrey).
Not much time to scrapbook? Scraplift!
This layout was inspired by Shannon Zickel's "Cool" LO (Scrapbooks etc., July 2007, p. 61).
Card on the left: Published in "The Rubber Stamper", September/October 2007, p. 19.
Published in "The Rubber Stamper", September/October 2007, p. 59.
Here's how I made the card...
1. I cut out 4 flower images.
2. Shaped the smaller pieces with a stencil brush (on a soft pad).
3. Used foam tape on the back of the smaller pieces.
4. Trim pastel blue cardstock to form a 4 1/4" (W) x 4 3/8" (H) card. Trim a 4" (W) x 4 1/8" (H) piece of pastel pink cardstock. Ink and stamp Rose in VersaMagic Pixie Dust and heat emboss in clear, as shown. Ink the edges. Center and adhere the flower on. Then, center and adhere panel on card front.
5. Layer the pieces.
