If you subscribe to Joni's (Enabler's) blog, I am sure you have, but if not, these are the CUTEST little doodles at Whimsie Doodles . Go ahead, go check'em orts ut!

In the mean time, I am looking for idea for a shoebox swap I am participating in later in July. Got any ideas? PLEASE SHARE, I am drawing a blank, as I am totally focused on the 300 wedding invites, response cards, programs, and inserts I am making for a friend. I will post pics of my mock-ups laters. And as a surprise, I am also making her thnk you cards, or at least part of them :wink: And I am sure I will whip up the shower invites too!

Halloweenies

<------------ Here's the DigiPhrase





And here's what I created!
<------------------------
A scalloped tag for a swap on SCS-- I cut out with Nesties large classic and scallop ovals. Cardstock is all Bazzill, pattern paper is from Target Dollar Spot (last year!), image is Michael's $1 wood mounted stamp. Colored with copics, heat embossed, and crystal effecrts on the eyes.












Swivels open with an eyelet to hold the layers together.

Trick~ or ~ Treat~ Enjoy this SWEET!

This is the ribbon storage solution I came up with. What are those things, you ask? plant hangers, ya know the ones where you can attach to a wall that stick out and you can add a hanging basket? Well, I bought 2 of the smaller ones, a dowl rod (5/8") and spooled my ribbon and let it sit on the loops. Tomorrow I will cut a board to go across the top of it for added storage.





Side view of the plant hanger ribbon storage.

This is where I stamp, as you can see, the ribbon rod hangs above my stampin table. This is the table my Dad built. Originally, he built the table 10 years ago for my Grandma for her sewing room, so the surface is extra slick, and it had another table that was to the side of it, like a right angle, but mom kept that part because it had an opening for a sewing machine (which I do not do). I think I may have Dad build another side table to go with this though. I am finding that the more I get into stamping and scrapping, the more workable surface I need!

AND FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....... Here's the card I made for Splendid Stamping with The Greeting Farm's Copics colord in Mermaid Anya after she was heat embossed. I added SU!'s Happy Fourth (retured set) covered in stickles (xmas red and starry night), added red organdy ribbon and silver thread, and scored 3 lines across the bottom to finish off this creation. The DigiPhrase is available below.

Got my game face on, Mom!

This is my take on a challenge from The Digishack.
The directions were to create a card using the layout, but I REALLY wanted to try it on a larger area, so I modified it a bit to create this 12 x 12 page of my DD from a baseball game we attended last month.

Cardstock: Bazzill; baseball paper from The Paper Studio
Embelli's: The Paper Studio
Ink: Versamark and SU!
Stamps: SU! Good Sport and Amuse Clear Stamps "Sports"

TA-DA! Here she is-- my Park Avenue Princess, with one request from good ole Santa Baby, just a simple mink sable. ;)

I used Bazzill cardstock (smoky gray, black), DCWV printed paper and silver metallic, and GP white. The image is from The Greeting Farm , coloring with Copics and Prisma markers, black beetle sugar coating from Doodlebug Designs around the collar, crystal effects on hair bow. Finished off with 3/4" white grosgrain ribbon and silver thread.

Doesn't she just look like she will get what she wants????????

This card had an added challenge for me because all my stampign and creative supplies are shoved in boxes and buried as I am painting my crafting space, so I had to use the supplies that wer visable on a tabletop and immediately available. Not too bad with limited supplies, huh?

p.s.-- I designed this card for a Christmas themed swap on SCS

Father & son by Joni

So joni FINALLY send me a digi from the line she is currently developing (will be available at her "other" blog) and this is what I came up with-- a tribute to good daddies everywhere, from Joni's hubby Brown, to mine, and many more!

I thought this would look awesome as a luggage tag of sorts, like on a diaper bag when Daddy has childcare duties at the park while Mommy is stamping (hint, hint!)

So to all you great daddies out there-- REAL MEN DO PERFOR MDIAPER DUTY! (that digi will be here soon)

Here's Joni's creation using the father's day sentiment I posted over the weekend. Let's see what you create! Please provide a link to your picture, or email me a pic of it and I will be glad to post here for the whole world to see!
