Avalon quilt pattern featuring Sweet Serenade by BasicGrey. blogged duringquiettime.blogspot.com/2013/05/sweet-serenade-quilt...
Quilt made as fundraiser for my daughter's preschool. Had each of the students write their name on a leaf, and appliqued to a "tree" along with apples for the teachers and Oreo, the school pet rabbit! The school initials are "carved" into the tree trunk. Blogged at:

Stamp Nation Card Sketch Challenge.

I did these guys up for a quick Valentines card class at LSS. These guys are so much fun!! The possiblilities are endless. I had a hard time deciding just how to stack them. You can check my photostream for views of the play session if you like.

I used watercolour pencils & paper for the flowers then used Diamond Glaze over the flowers. The bunnies I used prismacolor pencils & raised them up. TFL
This is a card I did for Stamp Camp at 2Peas. It has some distressing, so I thought I'd share it here too since it fits in with this weeks challenge.
tfl! :)
Hi Partner, I hope you don't mind that I cut up this beautiful charm pack for your pillow. Remember, there is going to be a lot of red mixed in with these. ;-) Are you disappointed or excited?
I love me some Lime Rickey! Seriously. It is so different from the colors and patterns that I normally pick up. It is so vibrant and colorful, and just plain FUN! I knew right away when I got it that it needed to be on a big 12x12 frame with this photo of my girls who were dressed in their silly boots for an outing to the mall. They were silly, fun, and colorful that day, just like this collection. For the frame, I used Lime Rickey patterned papers, printed chipboard elements, and epoxy brads and tons of adhesive foam squares, glitter, and rhinestones.

I made this card to send to a friend that I haven't talked with in awhile - I wanted to say hello and let her know that I've been thinking of her. Thanks for looking.
Supplies: Hero Arts My Favorite (AC030), Hero Arts So Much Fun (LP292), Hero Arts Essential Messages (CL371), Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Raspberry Jam, Soft Blossom), and BasicGrey Kneehighs patterned paper.
Another swap...In this one I had to have a face on the card. I chose this image of Louise Brooks, an old silent movie actress and music hall star, as I thought she was stunning and I loved this quote of hers.
Made with the Origins collection of fabrics by Basic Grey for Moda. Hand quilted with Gutermann quilting thread. Backing fabric is part of a duvet cover from Ikea. Dimensions are 50" by 58". Completed August 2014.
I have basted this table runner and I need quilting suggestions. I hope to quilt it today. Thoughts??? It's about 16" x 32" and uses BasicGrey's new line, Little Black Dress.
I altered a CD case, altoid tin, three bull clips, a mini composition book and a paper mache box. OH! And the cabinet!
Updated! Now has a tag on top with die-cut flower and gem + ribbon. Box dimensions are 4" square x 3" high - each drawer is 2" square x 1" high. All drawers hand-made using template from Mirkwood Designs. Tassels hand made using embroidery floss. Bit fiddly to make, and in hindsight, would have made the drawers 2 inches high as well and only made 8 drawers instead of 12!!
This is for the birthday challenge this week.
CS - Stamping Up, Bazzill
PP - BasicGrey
Flowers - Prima
Stamps - Hero Arts
Ink - Memento, Colorbox
Gems - Hero Arts
Believeit or not, I had a difficult time this week with the paper tearing challenge. So I decided to make a 3x3 card--I find the smaller size to be easier for me.
Cardstock is Bazzill kraft; paper is BasicGrey (eskimo kisses); ribbon is American Crafts; gemstones and stamp are Hero Arts.
Thanks for looking! :)
Made this card for Daria's I Remember Mary Jane challenge. I have to admit, when I first watched Judi Watanabe's Elegant Embossing video for the patent leather technique I was pretty skeptical that I would get decent results. Boy was I surprised!
Stamped Hero Arts H5011 Silhouette Corner using Tsukineko VersaMagic Dew Drops in Persimmon (orange), Oasis Green, and Sea Breeze (blue) onto white paper. Heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Then covered the entire piece of paper with a ColorBox/ClearSnap black pigment ink pad and heat embossed again with clear. The colored inks magically appeared, just like they did in Judi's video!
Cut, dry embossed, and made a white matte using Spellbinders Nestabilities. Adhered to Bazzill Bluegrass paper using foam squares for dimension. Black gingham ribbon from Basic Grey.
Thanks for looking! :-)
Made for the Online Card Class " His and Hers".
Day 3
Sympathy Cards.
Used Hero Arts Mid Tone Inks for this,
Paper by Basic Grey : Konnichiwa.
Leaves stamps by Inkadinkado
I made this card to mail to a friend with a coffee gift card.
I colored directly onto watercolor paper with Ranger Distress markers and then simply sprayed the paper with water. After the paper dried, I die cut a tag, embossed a sentiment and then embellished the tag with fussy cut flowers, twine and a button. I am adding this card to the current Tag It Challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog. Thanks for looking.
Supplies: Hero Arts Need Caffeine (CL731), Hero Arts Seriously (AC018), Hero Arts Frame Cut Large Tag (DI058), BasicGrey Lucille paper, Basic Grey True Love paper and Ranger Distress Markers.
A layout done for a scraplift tag challenge... you know, the game where one person starts by lifting the last person on the list, and then person 2 lifts person 1, and person 3 lifts person 2, etc. My LO looks NOTHING like the one before it though. Oh well. :P
All BasicGrey stuff except the kraft cardstock (Stampin' Up!) and the brads (American Crafts).
With BasicGrey's Fiction collection. For more information, check out my blog: bestamped.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/remember-this-love-for...
This is my card that I created for the current Patterned Paper Challenge at Virginia's View Challenge. I cut 1/4" strips of paper from six patterns in BasicGrey's Fresh Cut paper pad and then I wove the strips together to create a background. Thanks for looking.

Made with Blush by Basic Grey for Moda. I used pink flannel for the backing to make it super snuggly. The pattern is from Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts and was published in the summer issue of Quilts and More. SO fun and easy to make. This is a gift for a 3 yr old.

fell in love with this quilt:
www.flickr.com/photos/blueelephantstitches/4458452205/in/... by Blue Elephant Stitches. Had to make one. First time using the wide wavy lines for quilting. Photo taken before it was washed, afterwards I loved the quilt even more and I didn't think that was possible.
