This card is for The Play Date Café #107, which is a colour splash challenge (black, white and orange). I just got the background stamp, love it. It was white embossed on black cardstock. The tag was stamped with Memento Tangelo and the snowman was inked with Versafine Onyx Black, masking off the nose. Then the nose was inked with a Tangelo marker. The buttons were coated with black Enamel Accents (I smudged it a bit). TFL!

This is my card for Card Patterns sketch #168. I used a stamp with a vintage add for sewing machines, so the card has a sewing theme. The Sewing Ad stamp was stamped twice on a torn tag which I found in my scrap basket. It had been aged with walnut ink. The great sentiment was stamped on a blue canvas scrap. For the background I used a piece of sewing pattern and inked it a bit with Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain. I also added some cheese cloth underneath the tag and stitched everything in place with my sewing machine. TFL!!

Supplies: Prickley Pear Sewing Ad, Journey Awakens stamps; Distress Ink: Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain; Archival Ink Jet Black; BasicGrey patterned paper; manila tag, Tim Holtz idea-ology clothing hanger; walnut stain; velvet ricrac; buttons; old sewing pattern; cheese cloth.

Background is made by spraying Sugar Maple Glimmer Mist onto Ranger non-stick craft sheet and dipping watercolor paper into it, then turning it right side up and drying it with a heat tool. Sentiment from Hero Arts CL218 Love That Sparkle Clear set and stamped using Tsukineko VersaFine Vintage Sepia pigment ink. Rick rack from Basic Grey. Mounted on kraft cardstock edged with Tea Dye Distress Ink. Focal piece is my original photo in a tag ring made using a Making Memories Tag Maker tool. Attached using foam for dimension.

Basicgrey Papers

We love going to pizza express because it's set up so that the parents feel like they're eating at a grown up restaurant (nice wines, nice food, lovely atmosphere) but the kids are welcome and really enjoy themselves too.

I did this layout using Basic Grey Boxer papers and I also cut up some Pizza Express boxes to add to the layout. The Pizza Express logo came from a pizza box and I covered it with Crackle Accents and then inked it.

The photos were cut so that the boys look like they're all interacting together in the same picture when in fact it's individual pics of each boy. It's hard to take good action shots of everyone sitting around the table, but with careful cutting, I think I pulled it off :)

The journalling reads:

We all love Pizza Express!

A place for the grown ups to feel like they're at a grown up restaurant, while the children are welcomed enthusiastically.

Callum always orders Pepperoni pizza and Connor loves the Margherita pizza.

Charlie likes the crayons best.

Something for everyone! :)

This card is for the Hero Arts November challenge (colour combo and bling themes) and for CardPatterns #141. I stamped the village with chalk ink and softly coloured the houses with pencils. Stickles were added to the roofs and to the stars in the sky. I thought the round tags looked like baubles, they were die cut from patterend paper, stamped and then coated with Glossy Accents. The green cardstock was embossed and sanded. The baubles came out a bit dark on the photo, they are a brighter pink in real life, very similar to the pink in the colour combo.

Day Fourteen

Use a different person/point of view for journaling. Well...I sort of did that.

Journaling reads:

"most people don't understand my situation. they want to judge it & criticize it. why is it so HARD to understand? matt & i bought a house while dating. we figured out we were better off as roommates than a couple. we live together - in peace. jon & i are dating. okay, so maybe it is a little complicated - but for now it works. i've got two awesome dudes...life is good. 10-11"

*Additional info...I dated Matt for 6 years, so buying a house wasn't a spur of the moment decision. We are great friends and continue to get along...perhaps better now than we did while we were dating. Lots of people don't understand how we can live in peace, especially since I'm dating somebody new. It makes us laugh...it's not that complicated.*

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Bazzill [black], Basic Grey [grey]

Patterned Paper: Basic Grey

Die Cuts: Silhouette

Letter stickers: Doodlebug

Rub-ons: Doodlebug

Each Wednesday I show a card on my blog that is ispired by a tin box out of my collection.

This tin box was packaging material for a watch I once bought.

For the background I used a sheet from a Paper Pad by Basic Grey 'Stella Ruby'. Inspired by the lid of the box, I stamped with the Plaid Background Stamp on green paper with Distress Ink Pumice Stone. I used this paper for the bird. The wings and birdhouses are made from paper scraps. I made some stitches as a hanging for the birdhouses.

An Art Tile by Prima to finish it of.
