Best Choice Orchard

I finally got to spend a little time in my craft room and wanted to play with a few of my new stamps.

This is the first of several I picked up with a fruit theme.

This first one is of pears and is such a pretty and easy/simple stamp.  Fun and quick.
(Can you tell that I just used the paper left over from yesterdays card?)

Now off to color some more, thanks for stopping by.

This Little Piggy

I want to feature an image from a stamp that I picked up at Stamp Away.

This was a really cool company where the husband and wife run the business and she draws all the images.  They are both Copic certified and their samples were fantastic.  

Being from Iowa, I really liked the stamp with the corn and piggy so I gave this image my best shot.

Image is Bathtime for Piggy

The Paper Nest

Thanks for stopping by and go over and check out their images.

Playing Again

So I had a chance to play a little in my craft room tonight.  After I got back from my little vacation my schedule was packed for almost two weeks.  Things will hopefully be back to normal next week.

I did a little cleaning and put together one of my "use what's in front of you" cards.

I was playing with a new stamp set and some Tombow markers, so I have a couple of fall leaves, then I had a couple of wood pieces laying around that I didn't use on my last DT project.  There's a piece of paper lace tape that my sister sent me, along with some vellum.  I used the vellum as an overlay (that's why you see the haze in the middle), and last the sentiment was stamped on the vellum but I had to back it with white so you could read it.

Thanks for continuing to stop and visit.

One color only....

This week over at The Outlawz Greeting Challenge we are featuring projects with One Color.  

Monochromatic

Pick shades and tones from one color family and make a card.

Here is mine.

Of course it's orange!

I colored the lace with Copics and did a resist technique on the center focal image.

I hope you stop over and get some fabulous inspiration from the other DT's.

Sorry for my absence.

Sorry I haven't posted this week.  Its been a chore getting back into things after going to Stamp Away.  I came home very inspired, maybe so much so I didn't know where to start.  I had a great time and I think I have most everything put away from the show.  

I will be working on a few things and will share a couple of projects from classes I took while at Stamp Away.

Thanks for sticking with me, and check back.

613 Avenue Create Challenge August 11, 2013

I want to share the card for my DT challenge post this week at 613 Avenue Create.

We want you to make a card using a school supply.  

Everyone has a paper clip, staple, rubber band etc in your craft room.  

Pull some of that stuff out and get it on a card.

Here is my card, using an image from Lacy Sunshine, the sponsor for this week.

I used a rubber band as line on the fishing pole, a few staples on the vines and the binder clip holding the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you decide to join us this week.

Greetings from Stamp Away

I just wanted to say Hello this morning.  I'm on a mini retreat at Stamp Away in Cincinnati , Ohio.

May have some pictures a little later to post after my classes.

Thanks for stopping on today.
