I apologize to all the followers of this blog - I have not posted here in over a year! For that reason, and the fact that I'm going in a bit of a different "crafty" direction, I will not be continuing this blog. But don't you worry - I've started a new one! Come check it out at <a href="http://www.paperyummies.blogspot.com/">www.paperyummies.blogspot.com</a>. I just created it today, so I've only posted a welcome message, but I promise lots of paper yummies to come!

I don't know how the weather is where you are, but even here in hot ol' Arizona, you can feel a change in the air the past couple of days. Now don't get me wrong, we don't have a "fall" season here so I can't say that autumn is nearing, but when I mowed the lawn yesterday, it wasn't ridiculously hot! YAY! Anyway, I just love the colors in this line from My Mind's Eye So Sophie "Graceful" collection. They are so rich and warm, and have a lovely autumnal feeling to them. I can pretend right???<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Supplies: Bazzill Chiffon cardstock, Creative Imaginations Corrugated Paper (Kraft), My Mind's Eye So Sophie "Graceful" patterned papers, Marvy square punch, EK Success scallop punch, American Crafts stamp, Tsukineko ink (Rich Cocoa), Darice hemp cording, machine stitching.</span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TIpQh-ypJ7I/AAAAAAAABC0/d9aCm_TGViQ/s1600/DSC_0772.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515309238389909426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TIpQh-ypJ7I/AAAAAAAABC0/d9aCm_TGViQ/s400/DSC_0772.JPG" border="0" /></a> Another view. Each square is attached with a pop dot for more dimension. And if you were wondering about punching the corrugated paper, it was pretty easy with this punch, but I think I would avoid a more intricate border pattern. The paper is pretty thick, so a bigger, simpler pattern works best.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TIpQhZ72iOI/AAAAAAAABCs/oGpzY-Hec2g/s1600/DSC_0770.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515309228496423138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TIpQhZ72iOI/AAAAAAAABCs/oGpzY-Hec2g/s400/DSC_0770.JPG" border="0" /></a> Thanks for looking!</div>Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767635987620029567noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213381489093927932.post-13580562569361842062010-09-02T09:55:00.001-07:002010-09-02T10:11:35.499-07:00It's been too longWhen I saw this giraffe stamp from Technique Tuesday, I immediately knew I wanted to use it on an A10 card.

Here is one of the cards I taught in my August "Strictly Business" card class. I recently learned how to sew, and now I'm outta control!! I'm sewing on everything I can get my hands on. So...you may notice that every project from now on will probably have some amount of sewing on it. While it did make kitting my class a bit of a chore, I think it was worth it. I think the gals in my class appreciated that it was all done for them. Anyway, the finished size of this card is 8.5" x 4". Isn't it tweet?<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Supplies: patterned paper is American Crafts, cardstocks are Bazzill and American Crafts, stamp is CraftSmart (Michael's $1 bin), ink is Versafine Onyx, Prismacolor markers, circle punch is Marvy, ribbon is Creative Imaginations, Nestabilities Labels 6 and Petite Scalloped Circles, words are computer generated, stick pin is Dritz, "embossed" grid done with Scor-Pal, and machine stitching with Singer thread</span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/THs73Kc_YPI/AAAAAAAABCA/5Q7NsUvcpcs/s1600/DSC_0761.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511064387902726386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/THs73Kc_YPI/AAAAAAAABCA/5Q7NsUvcpcs/s400/DSC_0761.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here is a close-up of the "embossed" grid.

Here is a card I made using a sketch from <a href="http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#009900;">Card Positioning Systems</span></a>. I've never really used card sketches, but have been eyeballing their sketches for awhile now. After seeing all the great sketches and what the fabulous designers do with them, I decided to take a shot at it. For this card, I used last week's sketch (number 172, which you can see <a href="http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2010/06/cps-172-part-1.html"><span style="color:#009900;">here</span></a>). I changed a couple of the elements up a little bit, but I think it still works for the sketch. This card measures 9 inches tall x 4 inches wide, and fits in a standard business size (A10) envelope. <div><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCjmOGOBr9I/AAAAAAAAA-I/nLSUSgMlvcw/s1600/DSC_0643.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487889275812949970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCjmOGOBr9I/AAAAAAAAA-I/nLSUSgMlvcw/s400/DSC_0643.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here's a close-up of the Versamark background. If you've never used Versamark, you should! LOL...it's a watermark ink, so it just makes a very subtle background, but it adds some visual interest without adding a distracting color. It's also very slow-drying, so it's great to use with embossing powders.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCjmNvAOSMI/AAAAAAAAA-A/U0P_NWYStmw/s1600/DSC_0641.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487889269581039810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCjmNvAOSMI/AAAAAAAAA-A/U0P_NWYStmw/s400/DSC_0641.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />And here's a close-up of the cute little "hi" stamp. Oh yeah...by the way...this stamp is the one I used with the Versamark for the yellow background. I love how the word "hi" didn't show up using the Versamark and made my little stamp that much more versatile. YAY!!! :)<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCjmNEb8BBI/AAAAAAAAA94/S_cB6azxZQo/s1600/DSC_0646.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487889258154558482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCjmNEb8BBI/AAAAAAAAA94/S_cB6azxZQo/s400/DSC_0646.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here are the deets (details...yes, I know I'm a nerd...lol) : cardstocks are Bazzill, patterned paper is The Girls' Paperie, stamps are KI Memories, inks are Versamark (for creating the background on the yellow cardstock) and Staz-On Timber Brown, the dark blue strip was cut at the bottom using Nestabilities Labels 9 and embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots, notebook border punch (sorry, don't know the real name) is EK Success, ribbon is Bazzill, hemp cord is Darice, corner rounder is We-R-Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, and the brown pen for the little accent dots is American Crafts.</div><div></div><div>Thanks for looking!</div></div></div>Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767635987620029567noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213381489093927932.post-54897550329593667182010-06-27T13:43:00.000-07:002010-06-27T14:01:47.290-07:00{azaleas} photo mosaic layoutHere is another photo mosaic layout (as promised). I used these great pictures my mom took when my parents visited our relatives in Oklahoma this past April. I just love these pictures of the beautiful azaleas in bloom and all the lush greenery. I used Bazzill cardstock in Kraft and Raven. For the title, I used white chipboard Thickers by American Crafts, but glitzed them up a bit with some Frosted Lace Stickles glitter glue by Ranger.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCe5HLda-QI/AAAAAAAAA9k/l72AmJrR8kg/s1600/DSC_0586.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487558203960654082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 388px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TCe5HLda-QI/AAAAAAAAA9k/l72AmJrR8kg/s400/DSC_0586.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here is a close-up.

I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple of months. Things have been kinda crazy around here, but I've recently completed a few projects and will be posting them in the next few days. Thanks for being patient with me. Hopefully you'll enjoy these projects. I've been on a photo mosaic kick, and it's really helped me get some pictures down on paper. This first one is called "The great outdoors" and I used some pictures I took here in southern Arizona. I used Bazzill cardstock for the base, the black squares, and the title. The title was cut using the Cricut Expression and the "Opposites Attract" cartridge. Thanks for looking!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TAR5jMGvbeI/AAAAAAAAA8U/77_elgu0lxs/s1600/DSC_0594.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477636692241247714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 399px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/TAR5jMGvbeI/AAAAAAAAA8U/77_elgu0lxs/s400/DSC_0594.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767635987620029567noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213381489093927932.post-82802083497257481062010-02-24T09:08:00.000-08:002010-02-24T10:25:24.885-08:00"Delightful little things" shadowboxOkay, so I've never done a project quite like this one before, but I must say, I am quite pleased with how it turned out. And guess what...I actually put MY pictures in it, and I'm KEEPING it!!! That's huge for me, since most of what I make I give to other people. I don't even have a scrapbook of my own pictures, but I've made plenty for others. Anyway, here is a shadowbox that I made into a piece of "scrapbook-related home decor." The box itself has an overall size of 11" x 14", and is divided into 12 compartments. It came with glass, but I removed it. Here is a little peek...<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/S4Vn99x96JI/AAAAAAAAA6A/znuAEr2FcGs/s1600-h/DSC_0325.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441870039000934546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/S4Vn99x96JI/AAAAAAAAA6A/znuAEr2FcGs/s400/DSC_0325.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The inspiration for my title came from one of the stamps I used on it. The set is from Technique Tuesday, and it is just fantastic. So many stamps are geared towards card-making, but this set is awesome for scrapbooking. And I got SO MUCH use out of it. Here is my inspiration: "Memories are delightful little things"<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/S4Vn9MFspZI/AAAAAAAAA54/12COOTVtGRg/s1600-h/DSC_0326.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441870025661916562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/S4Vn9MFspZI/AAAAAAAAA54/12COOTVtGRg/s400/DSC_0326.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><p>And here is my finished product, minus pictures. ***I will be teaching this project as a class at my LSS, <a href="http://pagesinprogress.blogspot.com/">Pages In Progress</a>, on Saturday, March 13, 2010.

The normal price is $49.99 (a little steep, I know), but with all the coupons out there, I know none of us ever buy anything at full price. :)<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjUrMiloI/AAAAAAAAA0k/NKKgUOAyn88/s1600/DSC_0002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406047240804537986" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjUrMiloI/AAAAAAAAA0k/NKKgUOAyn88/s400/DSC_0002.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div>Here's the label on top of the shelf, to help you identify the correct one:<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjUTVZQ3I/AAAAAAAAA0c/QTPDbEaITRg/s1600/DSC_0003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406047234399224690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjUTVZQ3I/AAAAAAAAA0c/QTPDbEaITRg/s400/DSC_0003.JPG" /></a><br />For my first step, I used a level and a pencil to extend a line even with the top of the first shelf:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjUHutvtI/AAAAAAAAA0U/TtFWSII3KEE/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406047231284199122" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjUHutvtI/AAAAAAAAA0U/TtFWSII3KEE/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" /></a><br />I then continued that line around to the side of the shelf, across the back, and around to the other side of the same shelf:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjTh8jgPI/AAAAAAAAA0M/YoIj0dKidgM/s1600/DSC_0006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406047221141700850" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYjTh8jgPI/AAAAAAAAA0M/YoIj0dKidgM/s400/DSC_0006.JPG" /></a><br />I measured the distance between the top of the first shelf and the top of the entire unit, and figured out the number of tray inserts I could fit in this space. Each tray insert is about 1.25", and I used 1/4" dowels as my supports. Once again using my level and a pencil, I drew horizontal lines showing where each row would be. I flipped my level and made vertical lines representing how far apart the front and rear dowels would be:<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiFkbw-tI/AAAAAAAAA0E/MvL2g72_UVA/s1600/DSC_0007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406045881779682002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiFkbw-tI/AAAAAAAAA0E/MvL2g72_UVA/s400/DSC_0007.JPG" /></a><br />I continued the horizontal lines across the back:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiFchgjYI/AAAAAAAAAz8/HrA55zu-uQw/s1600/DSC_0010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406045879656287618" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiFchgjYI/AAAAAAAAAz8/HrA55zu-uQw/s400/DSC_0010.JPG" /></a><br />I made the same markings on the other side:<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiE-MA4XI/AAAAAAAAAz0/id0HEaPQhVQ/s1600/DSC_0012.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406045871513067890" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiE-MA4XI/AAAAAAAAAz0/id0HEaPQhVQ/s400/DSC_0012.JPG" /></a><br />I drilled holes for my dowels where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect, except at the level of each existing shelf. Even though there are staple marks showing where each existing shelf is, I still penciled in the word "shelf" to remind myself not to drill holes there:<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiEnOudvI/AAAAAAAAAzs/67ydrOFOEAg/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406045865350428402" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiEnOudvI/AAAAAAAAAzs/67ydrOFOEAg/s400/DSC_0013.JPG" /></a><br />I used a 1/4" drill bit and drilled holes in the appropriate places:<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiEd5yc2I/AAAAAAAAAzk/WOAZZ2Bgx5o/s1600/DSC_0020.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406045862846690146" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYiEd5yc2I/AAAAAAAAAzk/WOAZZ2Bgx5o/s400/DSC_0020.JPG" /></a><br />I used these dowels, also purchased at Michael's. They are 1/4" x 12", and they come 10 to a pack, for $1.99:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgdPVdtVI/AAAAAAAAAzU/9ARQ7Uyt2OE/s1600/DSC_0018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406044089409713490" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgdPVdtVI/AAAAAAAAAzU/9ARQ7Uyt2OE/s400/DSC_0018.JPG" /></a><br />I inserted my dowels through one side of the unit into the corresponding hole on the opposite side:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgc5DyijI/AAAAAAAAAzM/Lc8FGM5FdVc/s1600/DSC_0021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406044083430001202" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgc5DyijI/AAAAAAAAAzM/Lc8FGM5FdVc/s400/DSC_0021.JPG" /></a><br />I wanted a "shabby chic" look, so I decided to crackle paint my shelf. I used DecoArt crackle medium and Apple Barrel paint (Satin Cream color), also from Michael's.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgcgJU9DI/AAAAAAAAAzE/TQg7zM3oDnI/s1600/DSC_0022.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406044076742341682" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgcgJU9DI/AAAAAAAAAzE/TQg7zM3oDnI/s400/DSC_0022.JPG" /></a><br />Here's the finished crackle:<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgcDx_6zI/AAAAAAAAAy8/vbKoU3KcVnE/s1600/DSC_0025.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406044069128301362" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYgcDx_6zI/AAAAAAAAAy8/vbKoU3KcVnE/s400/DSC_0025.JPG" /></a><br />I used fabric from Hancock's Fabric, along with pom-poms by Offray and a sheet of scalloped Bazzill cardstock to dress up my shelf. The fabric was 18" x 21" and cost $1.99. I bought two pieces, one for each side of my unit. The spool of pom-poms I already had, and I found them on clearance at Walmart for $2.00. The scalloped Bazzill also came from my stash, and I distressed it slightly by dry-brushing the acrylic paint on it.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfN4Bg8aI/AAAAAAAAAy0/PhZwaM_NMLM/s1600/DSC_0027.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406042725942358434" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfN4Bg8aI/AAAAAAAAAy0/PhZwaM_NMLM/s400/DSC_0027.JPG" /></a><br />I pleated the fabric and adhered it the the shelf with my ATG. I also adhered the paper and pom-poms with my ATG:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfNpYPNyI/AAAAAAAAAys/OWpB2_EDOVg/s1600/DSC_0038.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406042722011133730" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfNpYPNyI/AAAAAAAAAys/OWpB2_EDOVg/s400/DSC_0038.JPG" /></a><br />I loaded my stamps into the trays , divided into themes. The "trays" are actually clear acrylic box frames that I purchased at Michael's and Target. They are 8" x 10". Neither store had the quantity I needed in that size, plus I had a gift card for Target, so I actually got 9 trays for free.:) The cost for these trays are $2.99 at Michael's and $3.19 at Target. I made sure to use one of Michaels' "20% off your entire purchase" coupons. If you do decide to make one of these units, you may be tempted, as I was, to use the <strong>8.5" x 11"</strong> frames for your trays. <strong><em>They don't fit in the shelf! </em></strong>On average, I was able to fit about 17 stamps in each tray, depending on the size and arrangement. I chose this particular tray to photograph because it shows a lot of different sized stamps:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfNI09rzI/AAAAAAAAAyk/sgH-s24keDw/s1600/DSC_0033.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406042713273249586" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfNI09rzI/AAAAAAAAAyk/sgH-s24keDw/s400/DSC_0033.JPG" /></a><br />I loaded all my trays into my new stamp shelf. I was able to fit 22:<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfMt4lV8I/AAAAAAAAAyc/FSHcTfTbjHI/s1600/DSC_0034.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406042706040674242" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfMt4lV8I/AAAAAAAAAyc/FSHcTfTbjHI/s400/DSC_0034.JPG" /></a><br />And here's my (almost) finished product. I haven't yet decided how I'm going to label each shelf. I want to do something cuter than using my label maker, I just haven't thought of the right solution. I'm also planning on putting an 8" x 10" piece of paper at the bottom of each tray and stamping each stamp in the proper place. So when a stamp is missing, I know which one it is :<br /><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfMdlqVNI/AAAAAAAAAyU/PjWe8Z9P6UY/s1600/DSC_0028.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406042701666342098" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SwYfMdlqVNI/AAAAAAAAAyU/PjWe8Z9P6UY/s400/DSC_0028.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p>I'd love to hear what you think!

I also found in my stash a sheet of vintage birthday stickers by Pebbles Inc., and thought this little sticker was perfect for my card. Kraft paper for the card base is Bazzill, and the patterned papers are from a JoAnn alterable kit. Ribbon is from my stash, the border punch along the bottom is Fiskars Apron Lace, and although it is hard to see in these pics, I used a Martha Stewart punch along the bottom of the pale pink patterned paper.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvTy-_6Ot3I/AAAAAAAAAxM/jGUsBjZmvys/s1600-h/DSC_0280.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401209017245546354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 334px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvTy-_6Ot3I/AAAAAAAAAxM/jGUsBjZmvys/s400/DSC_0280.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Another view:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvTy-k0xOmI/AAAAAAAAAxE/s4D_3fI1Vz0/s1600-h/DSC_0284.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401209009974884962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvTy-k0xOmI/AAAAAAAAAxE/s4D_3fI1Vz0/s400/DSC_0284.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Fiskars Apron Lace border punch:<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvTy-Z_l7fI/AAAAAAAAAw8/MJlBOcktFOo/s1600-h/DSC_0288.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401209007067491826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvTy-Z_l7fI/AAAAAAAAAw8/MJlBOcktFOo/s400/DSC_0288.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div>Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767635987620029567noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213381489093927932.post-20805934742117923672009-11-04T09:53:00.000-08:002009-11-04T10:14:50.053-08:00Pumpkin streusel bread...mmm...I found these cute little loaf pans at Michael's, and immediately knew I wanted to make pumpkin streusel bread for Halloween gifts. They cost $1.00, are oven- and dishwasher-safe, and Michael's usually carries them in different colors and themes. I also got the clear bags at Michael's, and it just so happened that their credit card machines were down, so everybody in the store got 20% off their entire purchase for paying cash. YAY! Anyway, I used <a href="http://knittycooking.zibibboisgood.com/2004/10/streusel-topped-pumpkin-bread-by.html">this recipe</a>. And the recipe made enough for 4 of these mini loaves, with plenty of streusel to top each one. I realize there are only 3 loaves in these pics, and you may be wondering about the 4th one...let me just say, it was delicious ;). For the tags, I used a Studio G $1 stamp on patterned paper by DCWV. I used Stickles glitter glue on the word "boo". Ribbons are Making Memories, and I secured the tags to the ribbons with silver brads.

I love the idea of the Sweet Treat cups from Stampin Up!, but I don't have any. So when Nilda on the Cricut MB thought of using <a href="http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=F5D0EE59-1E0B-C910-EAD419FA45B19699&killnav=1">Wilton candy molds</a>, I knew I had to try it. I found a Halloween set at Michael's that had skulls and spiderwebs, and I used the spiderweb mold on this card. The card base is Bazzill Bling, the patterned papers are American Crafts, chipboard letters are American Crafts, fibers are from my stash, scallop punch (under fibers) is EK Success, black pen is Sakura Gelly Roll, and the mold is filled with M&Ms.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3E22li3I/AAAAAAAAAtc/jXb7tsYRgGY/s1600-h/DSC_0291.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400298722265762674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3E22li3I/AAAAAAAAAtc/jXb7tsYRgGY/s400/DSC_0291.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here's a close-up of my "orange widow" spider:<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3EluHBvI/AAAAAAAAAtU/p6gJVobXoAE/s1600-h/DSC_0292.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400298717666805490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3EluHBvI/AAAAAAAAAtU/p6gJVobXoAE/s400/DSC_0292.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div>Close-up of the curled corners of the spider paper:<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3EM5qQoI/AAAAAAAAAtM/-GCSf_x8KSs/s1600-h/DSC_0296.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400298711004365442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3EM5qQoI/AAAAAAAAAtM/-GCSf_x8KSs/s400/DSC_0296.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Close-up of chipboard letter stickers:<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3D0lYr-I/AAAAAAAAAtE/HPT-ckFXPEM/s1600-h/DSC_0299.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400298704476876770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SvG3D0lYr-I/AAAAAAAAAtE/HPT-ckFXPEM/s400/DSC_0299.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767635987620029567noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213381489093927932.post-66142012932912346672009-09-18T15:05:00.000-07:002009-09-18T15:28:06.419-07:00I'm over the moon for youHere is another card I made using the adorable stamp set from Sandylion (scroll down a few posts to see the set). I wanted to make a boyish card for my husband, so I picked the rocket ship stamp. I really liked the color scheme and pattern of this SEI paper (even though it's a Christmas line and it's kinda old). The blue pattern at the bottom of the card is the back side of the top pattern. The green polka dot strip is Three Bugs in a Rug. The cardstock for the base is Bazzill, and the cardstock that the stamped image is on is Georgia Pacific. I colored in the ship using Prismacolor markers, and accented using Black Diamond Stickles. I used a Heidi Swapp distresser on the edges of the papers, and the holes along the bottom are an EK Success border punch. The ribbon used for the rocket's vapor trail is Making Memories, along with the plastic glittered brackets and star sticker. The lined paper on which I wrote my sentiment is simple notebook paper that I cut down, leaving the messy "notebook" edge, and inked with Tim Holtz distress ink. The black pen I used for the sentiment is a Sakura Gelly Roll pen. Thanks for looking!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SrQFFVEkFMI/AAAAAAAAAqE/_nXq9jieDP8/s1600-h/DSC_0195.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382933043728356546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YzUBrz6XMD4/SrQFFVEkFMI/AAAAAAAAAqE/_nXq9jieDP8/s400/DSC_0195.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here's a close-up of the rocket ship, colored with Prismacolor markers and accented with Black Diamond Stickles.
