MOJO450 & PP297 ~ Kiss the Cook ~

If you are anything like our household we LOVE to grill!  And being from farm country...  we are most definitely carnivores...  So I had to snicker just a bit when I found this paper (Authentique Homestead Collection) with cows, chickens, sheep and the like on it...  I must admit even though we raised sheep for several years...  I could not develop a taste for mutton.  But slap a big steak in front of me...  

So here is a fun card featuring this week's Mojo Monday sketch

 and a fun stamp and coordinating die from ODBD...  Grill Master & BBQ Grill Die...

and the items you see 

and today's Mojo Monday sketch...

and the Paper Players Challenge Tic Tac Toe Challenge...

Until next time...

Happy Easter!

Good morning!  Happy Easter!  Today I would like to share a slightly different card...  not a traditional Easter card...  I love this sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs' Superstar stamp set.  

We are created in His image.   Imagine if he loves his creation (in this case the stars) enough to name each one...  I can only imagine how much he loves us!  He suffered, bled and died for our sins!  But it didn't end there.  He arose from the grave 3 days later...  He defeated death once and for all so we can spend eternity with Him, if we accept Him as a personal Lord and Savior!  

Happy Easter!

NCC ~ You're Cool!

Good morning and welcome to day 4 of my travel adventure!  And that means I am still having laptop issues!  And no, I didn't throw it out the window...  yet...  grrr..... 

OH... #thestruggle....

 

So here is a fun frilly card using North Coast Creations' fun The Ice Cream Shoppe set...  I just love the bubble gum pink and cocoa on this creation!  I stamped the frothy drink on Copic compatible paper and colored it in.  I opted to fussy cut the final product before layering in on the lined DP panel.  I stamped the sentiment on coordinating paper and used Our Daily Bread Designs' Sparkling Stars Die to cut it out.  I even added a fun tea stained seaming binding bow!  What do you think?

I started with a dark cocoa card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches adding a bit of DP (cut at an angle...)  I really like the polka dot print peeking out on the bottom!

 

Due to travel issues I am unable to post photos for the items listed for North Coast Creations or Our Daily Bread Designs.  Please click on the links and be sure to check out all of the fun products!  I hope to be home soon and back to "regular" blogging... 

 

BTW...  if you have a travel horror story please feel free to share in the comments section!  I need all the encouragement I can get this week!

GOOD FRIDAY MORNING!  Are you as excited as I am?  I love weekends!  I have a bit more time to visit my craft room and do a few projects around the house.  Most recently, I have been cleaning out closets for a garage sale.  And even though, it is hard to part with some things (I'm really not going to wear that...) you just have to do it!  But the best part of cleaning out my scrap space is finding items I can re purpose.  Today, I found an old box in my storage closet.  And instead of throwing it away...  I cut off a bit of the card board and ripped it apart to show the corrugation...  I really think the cardboard was waiting to be LIBERATED...  lol

I started with a 5.5 x 4.25 white card stock base and cut my corrugated card board slightly smaller to fit.  I added the lacy frame (Layered Lacey Squares) blinged up with some glimmer mist.  I also found a stash of tissue paper.  So I shredded it to bits...  (a great way to take out your frustrations) crinkled it and added it randomly to the base with glue.  I stamped my images (North Coast Creations' June release Floral Sentiments 7) on white card stock with a rich brown distress ink and fussy cut them to fit behind my sentiment panel.  I die cut my star (also treated with glimmer mist) with ODBD's Sparkling Stars Die.  I then stamped my sentiment (also from NCC's Floral Sentiment 7) on the die.  A bit of randomly glued seam binding and pearl flourishes found their way onto my project along with a fun Kraft die cut bird from Our Daily Bread Designs' Birds and Nest Die.  

So here are the items you see today including North Coast Creations' most recent

 June release, Floral Sentiments 7...

NCC ~ Bon Voyage ~

Happy Friday!  We are sailing into the weekend and I couldn't think of a better way to mark that event than by pulling out the new North Coast Creations' Sail Away

stamp set.  I started with a simple red 5.5 x 4.25 card stock base and added white 

matting along with some fun papers from Our Daily Bread Designs' Patriotic Paper Collection.

I stamped the image on white card stock (Nautical Blue) ink and lightly sponged the background with a soft Summer Sky ink.  I cut my three banners using ODBD's Pennants Die 

and adhered them to the image panel before placing it slightly off center.  I stamped my sentiment on white card stock and used ODBD's Sparkling Stars Die to cut both it and a red card stock base.  

I just love the chevron design in this paper pad.  

Here's a few of the items you see today...

Thanks as always for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!

It's Release Day at Our Daily Bread Designs!

Good Monday morning!  Welcome to the first day of December!  That means Christmas is only 24 days away!  This month, Our Daily Bread Designs has some special sets to share including one that is perfect for last minute Christmas cards!  Before we get to the cards I have today, let me share how you can add to your own Our Daily Bread Designs' stamp stash!  This month as part of the hop, three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 gift certificate to the ODBD Store, to be used toward the purchase of ODBD Stamps found in the "stamps column" of the website just for commenting on the Design Team cards!  You must hurry though.  You have until December 2, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EST to leave your comments on the Designers Blogs for a chance to win!  The Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on December 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

 

I have a couple of projects to share including one using the set, Let It Snow and some new ODBD Paper, the Patriotic Collection.

I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored it with alcohol markers.  I added a bit of glitter glue to the "snow" after trimming.  My card base is a deep red with Kraft paper matting and layers of DP from the new Patriotic Paper Collection.  I took a bit of leftover board DP and stamped my sentiment on it and added die cut holly and branches found in some of ODBD's older die sets,  Fancy Foliage and Circle Ornaments . 

 

Here's the new items you see today...

 I also decided to create a project with a bit more of a spring feel to it!  Thankfully, we haven't had much bad weather in my part of the country (YET) so I opted to create a breath of fresh air... 

This time, I used a moss green card stock with white matting to frame the DP from Our Daily Bread Designs' Blushing Rose Paper Collection.  I used last month's release, Sparkling Stars Die, to cut out the center with coordinating papers.  I then popped the image up with dimensional foam.  I used Asters and Leaves Die along with the Fancy Foliage Die to create a floral spray.  The ephemera were stamped and cut using the new ODBD releases, Admit One, Admit Three and coordinating Mini Tags Die.

 

The new release items...

The versatility of these sets...  AMAZING!  Now be sure to stop by and leave some love for all of today's designers!  You might just win a GC from Our Daily Bread Designs!  Thanks for stopping!
