Picture Perfect ~ Display Board Samples

 

Picture Perfect...that is how our summer has been!  We have had endless adventures all summer long and they haven't stopped yet.  We've got another day at the pool planned for today and lots more in store next week...the last week of summer break....boo :-(

 

I have another Display Board Sample to share with you today and it's a fun little cork tile embellished with some of the awesome Everyday Adventure Project Life Cards and Embellishments.  I had so much fun with this that I made two more for my Convention buddies, but I forgot to take pictures of them!



Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Everyday Adventure Project Life Card Collection

Ink ~ StazOn

Stamp Set ~ Project Life Remember This

Other Supplies ~ Everyday Adventure Project Life Accessory Pack, Bermuda Bay Bakers Twine, Black Chevron Ribbon, Candy Dots, MDS, e-cutter

 

I used my Silhouette to cut out the fun little camera...I'm pretty sure I haven't used my e-cutter since I made this and I need to remedy that! 

 

Be sure to check out all of the Display Board Samples on our Pinterest Board...it is FULL of amazing ideas!

 

Hope you have a Picture Perfect Day!

 

Happy Stamping!

A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way - Display Board Samples

Whew..finally back with another Display Board Sample with my favorite stamp set EVER...Kinda Eclectic.  Seriously, the possibilities with this stamp set are endless!  I kept this one really clean and simple...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Hello Honey, StazOn

Stamp Set ~ Kinda Eclectic, Work of Art

 

I'm thankful I made an extra one of this card...I will be hand delivering this to my good friend Amy, who filled my shoes as a mommy to one of my boys yesterday.  My hubby and 3 boys set off on a long weekend get away yesterday, which I will surprise them by joining them tomorrow :-).  They caravanned with some of the other families that are going and they all stopped for lunch in Hood River.  After spending nearly 4 hours in the truck, the boys were anxious to get out and were being boys, horsing around and chasing each other.  Well, Aidan wasn't watching where he was going and ran smack into a pole.  Getting a picture like this when you are away from your babies is not fun...

My hubby reassured me numerous times that he was ok and that it really looked worse than it really was.  Being that my hubby is a paramedic, I knew my boy was in good hands, but it was not easy as a mom to not be there for my baby when he was hurting :-(  My sweet friend Amy texted me later to let me know the swelling had gone way down and that he was totally fine.  Thank you Amy for keeping an eye on him and keeping me updated!  Needless to say, our family pictures for next week have been put on hold...boys!  I'm just happy he is ok and everyone is having fun!  I can't wait to meet up with all of them tomorrow!

 

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend! 

 

Happy Stamping!



Celebrating SSINK

I can't believe this amazing group of ladies has been INKspiring you for a year already!  Time really does fly when you are having fun!  I love the creative inspiration that is posted every week day...something I look forward to seeing every morning.  The friendships that have formed from this group are ones that will last forever! 

I was lucky enough to meet up with some of our SSINK girls at Convention last month.  We swapped...we ate...we had fun!!!  I can not wait to see all of them, and hopefully the rest of the team, next year!

In honor of our one year anniversary, I decided to do an MDS page with some of the fabulous pictures from Convention.

 

 

I continue to be INKspired by these wonderful ladies every week.  Not only do we create together, we celebrate together, we cry together...no matter what we are always there for each other in one way or another. 

 

Thanks for following our blog for this past year!  We look forward to INKspiring you for many more years!

 

Happy Stamping!

Seasonally Scattered Decor

Whew...I made it through Monday!  Nothing like being thrown right back in to reality after a week of vacation.  Hubby got called in for overtime, back to work and back to full time mommy-mode!  While I had an amazing time in SLC, I can honestly say I am happy to be home with my hubby and boys and back in to our normal crazy routine.

 

I have a couple more Display Board Samples to share with you today, again with the upcoming Seasonally Scattered Stamp set.

 

First up is a fun little piece for Christmas.  I stamped the Merry image and put it inside a left over frame from April's Paper Pumpkin kit.  The little snowflakes were cut out using my e-cutter and the Snowflake Punch from MDS...stitched together with a few punched out circles, the cute garland was the perfect added touch. 

 

Next up is a little muslin bag of love!  I stamped the Love sentiment from Seasonally Scattered right on the bag (which may have taken me a time or two to get it just right!) and added some fun heart and circle garland to dress it up.

 

 

Both of these projects were quick, easy and lots of fun!

What's Your Type ~ Take One

Hello again from sunny SLC!  It's the first full day of the 2014 Stampin' Up Convention and my excitement is out of control! I can't wait to see MORE stampin' friends today and see what today holds in store for all of us!

In addition to catching up with old friends, I am very excited to meet some of the SSInk Design Team Members for the very first time!  Not only will many of us get to meet, but we will get to showcase some of our talent on one of the Convention Display Boards.  Each of us chose one stamp set to create with for the boards...I chose What's Your Type?  What was I thinking?!?!  Don't get me wrong, this is a super fun set, but it challenges you to get creative!  I tried out many different ideas, including a scary and VERY ugly Lego guy card, before I came up with a few that I was happy with. 

This first card is one that I made for one of my twins for their last day of school...he loved it!  This is a simple card, but it took a few tries to get the letters to fit on the card front.  The stamps are much bigger than I first thought!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Crushed Curry

Stamp Sets ~ What's Your Type, Work of Art

Other Supplies ~ Itty Bitty Accents Star Punch

 

Next up is a CASE from two different projects in the catalog (page 161)...a LOVE card :-)  I am loving purple and gold together right now...so pretty!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Gold Foil

Ink ~ Blackberry Bliss, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ What's Your Type

Other Supplies ~ Itty Bitty Accents Heart Punch, Gold Sequin Trim, Whisper White Bakers Twine, Blackberry Bliss Stitched Satin Ribbon, Gold Embossing Powder

 

Time to wrap things up and head on out for a day of Convention fun!!!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for updates and a couple more creations with this stamp set!

 

Happy Stamping!
