U R the Cat's MEOW

This is a layout featuring the cat applique stained glass quilt Mom made and entered into the Lincoln Days quilt show!  A gorgeous quilt.  Not sure the layout does it justice!

I used one of Sally's fab sketches, SBSC293.  I changed it up a little bit.  And yeah, I know my "THE" is a little lopsided.  LOL.  Sliding right of the page, eh?  I can fix that!  I loved using the doily as a journaling "block". 

Hope you enjoyed the page AND the quilt.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Sophomore Art Project

I'm getting my scrap back on.  I pulled this set of pictures from Phillip's sophomore art project.  Six pictures...and off I went to find a sketch.  I found 02.22.12 sketch from Let's Scrap.  Then I went to my Studio Calico Summer of '69 kits for supplies.  The main paper is the other side of the orange/pink/red star paper in the main kit. (bottom left hand side of the main kit picture)

I did go to my stash for two things - the tasteful trim die + basic black cardstock and the real red corduroy buttons & brads + white baker's twine.   I also used my Dymo labeler, a Dear Lizzy date stamp and Studio Calico School life stamp set.  Everything else was from the kits.

Left page.  And yes, the titling goes across two pages. 

Right page.

This was a create as you go title.  LOL.  I got worried there for a while.  I do like how it turned out. 

I did not have ANY banners that looked good with this...and I did not want to create my own...and I wanted to use up these brads.   I laid everything out beforehand.  For the smaller banner, I used a saucer and made pencil marks for how many brads I had, then punched the holes and inserted the brads.  For the larger banner, I used a plate.  I'm really pleased how this turned out. 

I pulled these SU! Real Red Corduroy Buttons & Brads from my stash.

Detail of the journaling card.  "Grade A+" stamped on the journaling card is from Studio Calico School Life stamp set.

I never thought these papers would go good with a Jason Hockey Mask.  LOL.  While I love the titling, my favorite element has to be the brad banner.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Invisible Band Aid People

I think I got four birds with one stone. LOL.

- Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoaststampers dot com WT390: make something that would make someone SMILE!

- I'm using items from August Studio Calico Summer of '69 kit.

- Challenge with friends to use something I have not used...Inked up SU! Word Play for the first time!

- Challenge with friends to be inspired by Pinterest. (http://pinterest.com/pin/45528646203445217/).  I pin things & forget to use them...especially the craft inspiration items.  So, after getting the ways to use it challenge, I went to Pinterest for my inspiration!

And...I came up with this!

 

Doncha think this would make sone who feels bad...S M I L E ?  It makes me giggle.

 

I did not have any band aid colored band aids that I could use on this project...those had antibiotic stuff on 'em...and those are usually slippery. So...these are invisible Band Aid people. LOL.

 

As is my usual practice, I made two cards.  BUT...they turned out different cuz I forgot to trim the other side of the DSP panel.  I was glueing it down when I discovered that.  ahem...a tad bit late to fix.  So...presenting version #2.

DH likes version #2 better cuz I put the eyes on crazy. LOL.

 

Hope today's projects made you S M I L E !  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Smile & Enjoy

I decided to participate in the 400th sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers dot com.  It was "crafter's choice".  So I picked Sketch 379.  It is a great sketch to showcase some great designer paper from the August Studio Calico kit - Summer of '69.  I made two cards. 

 

No stamping what-so-ever.  I'm so not the frilly butterfly gal ok, but I love this paper. 

Here's a close-up of the washi tape stack + the stickers.

This is a stacked embellishment.  Took a label sticker + a large kalidescope sequin + a decorative brad. 

 

I love to make my cards in pairs...and I think this one is my favorite.
