Field Notes

 My little brother loved this card, using the clipboard die, I put a couple of pieces of paper under the clip, stamping on both, so he could flip and see what was under.


  • Tim Holtz - Vault Noteworthy dies (clipboard, arrow clip and tab) Field Notes stamp set
  • 49 and Market - Curators Meadow Paper and Vintage Blushed Sage Rub ons

So fun to play with those clipboards :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, Hope you have a great week ahead,

Masculine Blessings

 It is not hard to find things that have been neglected in my room of goodies, so I went looking for something for our friends birthday and found this classic stamp that looks like an old chalkboard, I haven't used it in like 7 years, that is just a shame.


  • ODBD - Chalkboard Birthday stamp
  • Spellbinders - Classic Rectangle Lg. die
  • Basic Grey - Periphery Paper
  • Pebbles - Glitter candy dots


I am sharing today's card with Neglected Stuff Challenge (chalkboard stamp)

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope the rest of you are making it through this HOT weather with heat index in the 100's.  I have been limiting my time outdoors, just going out to check on my plants quick and water them and then back in the house for a shower, crazy, hope our whole summer isn't like this.

Days Of Christmas

 In our stamp group the challenge was to make cards using themes from 12 Days of Christmas, I just so happened to have gotten some stamped images from Penny Black years ago from one of the girls that use to be in our group. I just have had them in the envelope not really sure what to do with them, but this challenge was the perfect way for me to get them out and use them. All colored with markers. I also forgot to write down the papers I used in the first two but they were from a cardmaking magazine.


  • Memory Box - Stitched circle layers die
  • PPD - scalloped Snowflake die

  • Spellbinders - Classic Square large die
  • Tim Holtz - Funky Festive dies


  • PPD - Mini stitched layers die
  • ODBD - Christmas 2014 papers

  • PPD - Mini Stitched Square die
  • ODBD - Christmas 2014 paper


  • Spellbinders - Classic Square Large die
  • ODBD - Christmas 2014 papers
  • Silver pen around image
That is it, she gave me these 5 days, and I used them all :)

Thanks for taking the time to stop by,

Sealed

 I love the look of the wax seals but with all the bulk of them I have never bought them, well I saw these stamped ones and I was able to buy the kit that also had dies with them to cut the flowers and the faux string, so I bought it.  I added some crystal glaze to the seal to make it look more like wax.


  • LDRS - Sealed with Good wishes stamps and dies Kit 274
  • Nuvo Crystal Glaze on Seal


If you are interested in the stamps and dies, I purchased them from HSN, but I am thinking they may be sold elsewhere, I just haven't seen them anywhere else.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, Have a great weekend, Summer is HERE!!
