Seminar stamp set

Every year we get a new stamp set before we go to conference. This years set was full of great words and two new angles. I was having trouble decided what to do until I came across my stash of Angelee paper. I like the idea of paper piecing and this angels outfit was just asking me to piece her dress together. So I happily stamped about 25 of her out on white card stock and then again on the Angelee patterned paper. Let me tell you it took me and a friend a couple of hours to cut her out, but I think she was worth it. I used colored pencils to color everything but the dress and I used Glaze Gelly Pens to color her Maryjane's. The Glaze pens give them a shiny look with out embossing. Hope you like.

Long time no blog...

I know its been a few months since my last blog. I am so sorry. How ever I hope to make it up to you all in the next few weeks. I just returned from seminar and I am so excited about the new catalog. Most of you know that I am single and I don't have any children so I have decided to use everyone else's kids to make samples. Lucky for me I know a ton of people with kids. So over the next few weeks I will share with you my projects from seminar as well as some new ideas. As a teaser I'll tell you I have a fabulous scrapbook paper that involves a mentos geyser..... I know your excited right. lol

Rustic Ship

As always, it has been a long since my last post. This card was made for a fathers day swap. I found the idea in the Angel catalog. I used the rustic chic paper and the ship stamp. The organza ribbon gave it a little bit of embellishment with out making it sissy. ( I think) Let me know what you think. I am having a hard time staying focused and getting to the internet in order to post. For those of you not going to conference, you will start to see all the cards that I am making. Have a great week guys.

I'm back!! My fantabulous up line sent me a package in this month and issued a challenge. I have a really hard time staying on top of my stamping and blogging, but she loves me a keeps encouraging me. This month in her package she sent a foam coaster (see below). The challenge was to create something from it. She didn't give any rules, she just wanted to see what we could create with it. Well I got so inspired that I cranked out 3.. yes, count them, 3 cards from 1 coaster.

The original coaster.

The original concept was to use the coaster as a resist image by spraying glitter mist through the coaster leaving the scroll design. I like how it came out, but you can tell me what you think. My darn camera made everything blurry so the pic is not that great but you should get the idea.

supplies: Coaster, glitter mist, decorative "stamp" edge scissors, TAC paper and TAC stamp set

My next endeavour came when I had the coaster all glittered up with the mist. I wasn't sure what to do with it, but it still looked good on the other side. I didn't want to waste it and I loved the pattern. So I decided to cut it apart and combine the resist with the actual coaster.

Supplies: Coaster (cut up) and resisted with glitter mist, TAC stamp set and Bazzil cardstock

Finally I bring you to my favorite. The remaining pieces of the coaster after it had been destroyed and artfully put back together. I like this one the best because it looks fresh and clean, but you be the judge.

I hope you all enjoy! Thanks Suzanne for the inpiration. I wouldnt be an Angel without you!!
