MEDALLION WINDOWS

Hello! I have not had a whole lot of stamping time this week, so I am grabbing a project I made last week. I find on Wednesday and Thursdays my fall schedule hasn't allowed it. We are having a wonderful school year and I continually Praise GOD for His never ending mercy, but I have to say this has been the most peaceful school year ever! Not there haven't been trials, but over all we are having a great school year.

This project uses the Medallion Windows technique from TECHNIQUE JUNKIES October Newsletter. It was such a fun card to make and with the step by step directions the JUNKIES NEWSLETTER hands out (WITH PICTURES) it doesn't take any time at all - I think I had this card finished within an hour. The thing that took the longest was the coloring!

Here are the details:

Stamps by Two Nancy's Art Designs

Cardstock: Basic Black, Wild Wasabi, Basic Grey DP, Whisper White

Accessories: Circle Cutter by Creative Memories, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Stickles

We are off on a bird watching hike this morning! I am hoping to have some stamping time a bit later today! Have a wonderful day! Thank you for stopping by!

Autumn Beauty- Stand Alone Card

Hello! I hope in your corner of the world you have sunshine. We have a beautiful fall day here!

I do not recall seeing to many cards using the STAND ALONE technique that was put in the February- March issue from Technique Junkies, so I thought it looked like an interesting technique! The Stand Alone technique was an ONLINE BONUS for all of you subscribers! If you are a Junkie - you can view more in the Art Gallery on the Technique Junkie page for the February- March issue. There are many beautiful projects there!!!

Here are a few more details for you:

MOJO MADNESS - NATURE SILHOUETTE

Ever have one of those days? Well...today was one of them for me. My kids were a bit more rambunctious - the school they had said they did...wasn't done. ACK - and no one wanted to do it. Sooo..you know...it is Monday.

I have been working on memorizing Philippians 2:14 & 15 Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world...

so I am ending my fount there. :)

With being in a mood, I decided to hide in my room for a few hours. I wasn't going to spend that much time but I wanted to get one card done and the mojo really wasn't flowing that easily! :) Finally, a friend said, Do the MOJO Challenge and use a stamp set that you haven't used in a long while! Well... I looked on my shelf, and I know I purchased this set months ago and it wasn't even assembled! Then... I was stumped on colors, so she handed me the golden ticket and said pumpkin, chocolate and maybe Saffron if I felt like it... Well... One out of three isn't bad, is it? :)

So here is the MOJO MAD-NESS challenge... This week is #107 -

Here are a few more details:

Stamps by SU Nature's Silhouette and Warmest Regards
(Since I used all SU stamps - that means this is an ALL ABOUT JOY card!)

Cardstock: Walk in the Park DP, GUava, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Nestibilities, Basic Grey Brads, Dimensionals, 5/8 Double Stitched Chocolate Chip RIbbon

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a fabulous day!

LEAVES ARE FALLING....

Hello! I hope you had a great weekend! My husband was out of town last week, so I did not get much stamping done last week. Saturday, I was away the entire day for a wonderful event for the AWANA Conference. It was a great time of learning.

Sunday, after church, my husband said I could have a quiet day of stamping and I was able to get 8 cards done using the FALL CARD KIT from Creative Cuts and More! You can view more cards using the kit on my blog side bar - by clicking on the labels Creative Cuts and More...

This card uses the SWEET STOP SKETCH and all of the cardstock peices and the velvet flower die cut is from Creative Cuts and More. The autumn leaf stamp set is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Autumn Blessings.

The top card uses Vanilla Brads that do not come in the kit.

These two projects do not come with this extra cream sheet - you can purchase this layer from Creative Cuts and More... the color is Bazzil Bling Cardstock called String of Pearls. On the top card, I used a pencil and traced it making a mat. The bottom card uses the insert that I cut out as the filigree frame layer.

These kits are so much fun to play with! If you haven't tried them, you really must! They come with everything you need to create 12 great cards AND you will have A LOT of things left over afterwards!! I will be posting more on Tuesday, so come on back to see!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed day!
