German St Paddy's Day Bday

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here's my square card that I made for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz! The theme is St. Patrick's Day. I also followed PaperWorks Co's Sunday Sketch #73.


Now, my Father's bday is today, but he's German so I always have fun throwing in some Irish into his bday. I took the Celtic heart from WMS's Celtic Heritage set to create my lucky shamrock. :-) This was my first time 'playing' with Basic Grey's Marjolaine collection. The cute, central image is a stamp from PaperWork's Co's Rachelle Anne Miller's collection. The sentiment is computer-generated and tis Happy Birthday in German.



Now, hopefully you waltzed over from Jen Shears Designs' blog. And your next waltz is over to Create.Share.Inspire. Be sure to check out all the other waltzers taking part in the WMS Friends Blog Waltz! You'll need to register for the WMS forum in order to see the Waltz forum thread *here*.

Thanks for waltzing by!

Get Well Wishes

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by today. I made this card for my friend's grandmother who's in the hospital. I know she's on the mend, but I also know she's itching to get home and back to her routine. The sketch is from PaperWorks Co's Sunday Sketch #70.

I just got my box o' goodies from PWCO with the new A Day in the Life of Abigail C. stamps and some new Basic Grey collections, including Hopscotch which I used here. I paperpieced Abigail's clothes using Hopscotch papers.

Thanks for looking!

Magical * Snow *

I made this card for a PaperWorks Co Recipe challenge (1 image + 2 brads + 2 buttons) & the "11th Day of Christmas" Daily Dare challenge hosted by Waltzingmouse Stamps & featuring snowflakes.

Here's another *super* cute image by the talented illustrator Rachelle Anne Miller (for PaperWorks Co). I used the masking technique so that the "A Magical Christmas" image appeared within the "Very Vintage Labels No. 4" image. I also then only inked up one of the snowflakes and then stamped it 3 times around my image.

This was my first time 'playing' with my new Basic Grey "Snowflakes" embossing folder!!! I *heart* Basic Grey, in case you haven't noticed, and was so excited when they announced at CHA-Summer that they were coming out with Sizzix embossing folders! After I embossed my aqua paper, I rubbed my Frost White inkpad across to highlight the snowflakes a bit.

I covered 2 buttons with Martha Stewart Garnet glitter and the snowflake brads came from my LSS.

Thanks for looking!

Too *cute* to SPOOK!

I was honoured to be asked to a Guest Designer for PaperWorks Co's Sunday Sketch #56! Woot! Here's the sketch:


So I ended up making two projects; a framed creation & a birthday card. Here's the framed piece:

Aren't they the cutest?! That's the Pumpkin Patch stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller for PWCO! I wanted to do some paper piecing and so I reached for Basic Grey's new, double-sided Pyrus collection. I totally *heart* Basic Grey!!!

Here's the birthday card I made for a friend, using Echo Park papers, which are also double-sided!
Before I get to the supplies, PWCO just announced a Design Team call for December 2010-May 2011! Check out all the details *here*!

Now, onto the supplies! Thanks for popping by!
