Kid Picts

My little destroyer playing and trying to mutilate his watermelon.

We had a lot of fun playing at the park.  My oldest son wouldn't let me get his picture, but at least I got the younger two.

Tiger Necklace

I've just had so much fun making these Domino Pendant Necklaces.  Here is another style with a lot more Bling.  But I LOVE big chunky necklaces - so this is right up my alley.   I'm selling similar styles at Hillier Studios on Dixie Highway in Bridgeport, but I can make custom styles as well.  Just shoot me an email with the colors and style requirement and I will price it out for you.  I'm going to be experimenting with some new stuff soon and hope to have those posted in the next couple of weeks.

Owl Punch - Penguin Card

I want to show you just how versatile this punch is, by using it to create a super cute Christmas Card.

Check out these adorable Penguins. It uses the same Owl punch - Just trim off the "horns" and you have an adorable penguin. Punch the main body out of black (cut off the feet) Cut another out of orange, trim of the bottom 1/4 and glue to the back. Use one of the orange "horns" that you cut off as the nose for the penguin. And punch the eyes and vest out of Whisper White.
This card uses Marina Mist as the base. Then taking Whisper White, tear the edges to get the look of snow or ice. I used a sponge and Bashful Blue ink to ink the edges for more defenition, ran a line of glue along the torn edge using the two-way glue pen and added some glitter.
The snowflakes are from a retired set, but any snowflakes will work - I added glitter to those as well.
The sentiment is Whisper White punched out of the wide oval punch and inked around the edges for definition and 2 of the scalloped oval punches were glued behind it. I also used the really cool new flat-backed rhinestones available in the new catalog for just a touch of bling.
Let me know if you are interested in any of the products mentioned and I will place an order for you.

Happy Stampin'!

Owl's Owl's and More Owl's

LOVE the new Owl punch.  It is so fun.  It's just like paper piecing for scrapbookers (where you take shapes and create new items) but it's all contained in one fantastic punch.  You can create birthday's, wedding, Thanks you's etc.  It's really unlimited.

New Embossing Folders

These are some really cool new embossing folders that are used with the Big Shot.  The one on the left is from the summer mini (but they carried it over into the new 2010/2011 catalog as well).  I used the brayer and ran ink over the raised image so you get the color contrast.

The second is called Vintage Wallpaper.  I LOVE this one.  I did the same thing and filled the brayer with basic black ink and ran it over the top.  It gave it a vintagy, rustic but elegant look.  (if that makes any sense LOL)

New Pendant Style

This style is $25 and can be customized with different colors, beads, chains etc.  Contact me to place your order.
