WOW! I feel rusty! LOL!

First let me say due to some family/scheduling issue’s, I have had to cancel my classes at The Paper Tree on the 25th! Sorry to anyone who has signed up. There is a lot going on here, and I cannot work that day, due to some other unforeseen things.

That being said, I did notify Michelle over a week ago, and they ARE still listed on the site schedule, so I am hoping she forgot to take it down this past week. If you have signed up for those classes, please contact Michelle. I won’t be there, so I don’t want anyone signing up, or going out of their way to get there.

OK now for today’s post….

I missed last week’s sketch because of the announcement of My Timeless Templates ©, so it feels like forever since I have done this, even though it hasn’t been long. This has been so amazing, and I appreciate all of you being so supportive (I know I keep saying it, but that is because I mean it :D)

I have to say, as a result of everything, my MOJO is g-o-n-e! This happens to me every month after the big release. Its my Papertrey Ink hangover, I like to call it! LOL! Especially after all my buzz with my own line of stuff, that really knocked me for a loop! LOL! No worries, it should be forced back over the next few days.

Anyway, I am back with the sketch this week!

If loading to a gellery use KEYWORD: mytimesssnowflakes

Given my low mojo, I decided the the team and I would use my sketch from my Gently Falling Snow card I loved that sketch!

I wanted to do something entirely different than what I ended up with, but hey whatever works right!

I recently picked up some more of the newest Magnolia images I get mine from here: Maganolia-licious. I have had them for at least a week, and they needed a little love.

This little girl reminds me of Amber!

Country Girl

Now for the girl- she is the larger block on my sketch, and the bail of hay is the smaller block! I thought it was a cute, and different take on the sketch, so I went with it.

I stamped her and cut out her legs, so she “sits” on the hay!

The hay was stamped on barely banana then sponged and whatnot to look like real hay. I think she’s just so cute.

I just got this sentiment from the Harmony Classic Circle III. I used the sentiment without any of the borders. I feel like I get so many options with all those stampers. I can use a cool border, not use a border, combine a sentiment/border etc. I like that they are now having sentiments, as well.

Then I spritzed some olive color

I wish this turned out a bit better, but I am totally drained, and am taking tomorrow off! I need a break.

In the meantime, if you get to try the sketch, send us a link here so we can see your take on it.

Be sure you look at what ther Sketch Team had created!

Thanks to all of you who stop by I hope you have a great weekend.

YEAH! I got the announcement card to match the frame all done

I just kept my announcment info, that I created from the frame, on the stamp block, to create my card to match.

 I blurred out the last name to keep their privacy. This card took like 1o minutes because of the peircing. I knew what layout I wanted, so the rest wasy easy peasy!

I used all the following from Just Rite Stampers:

 Harmony rectangle handle  was used to create my block of announcing information using the  Special Occassion Font  I used each size from the set to complete my gift/card. I also used the small letter set for the stat’s of the baby.

My bird is from Unity Stamp Co. September Kit of the Month (no longer available sorry!! By the time I use it, its gone :C).

Using the scallop nestabilities, with shimmery white cardstock made it more elegant looking.

OK check back tomorrow for our Saturday Sketch.

OK its time for me to fall FLAT on my exhausted face!

I wish! Alexa has her post Chemo follow up and my brother and his girlfriend are flying in today for their move in! Sooner than planned, but so is life. You know what they say, no rest for the weary!

I really want to thank everyone who has left comments, and supported me in this new venture of My TimelessTemplates © over the last few days, while introducing this product. I am really proud of the way everything has turned out, and all the hard work Nichole and the team at Papertrey Ink put into launching the product, and the AMAZING samples done with it. BIG THANKS!

I know I was most likely unbearable with my blabbering during this process and now I take a big sigh of relief. This is real! It truly happened! LOL! WOW! Now to see people use the templates….that will be so crazy!! I can’t even stand it!

I hope you enjoy the templates, and thank you all who try them out. I hope you remember to share them with me, as I am excited to see many of you venture into templates now. I’m posting my challenges in a little while, so I hope you return, as I also have a few samples too.

Now it is time to share my release projects!

I have a few projects with the new releases using my templates! Those will be listed separately as they are part of the Challenge I am posting.

Now my thoughts on the release projects. I always have a few that I really love. This month my templates are obviously a huge favorite, like my Box of snow-that uses my template was my big favorite, as was my recipe for Ice Cream Sundae party, and my Holiday cards post. I really like everything this month and had to STOP myself from going and going.

OK here we go!

Today is a very special post. This may just be what you need to jump start your family holiday card design!

DON’T miss the post below for MORE of My Timeless Template peeks!

Nichole asked our team to get some great holiday card ideas together for you! The only stipulation was they had to be able to be mass producible. Nichole has taken each of our Holiday cards and compiled a supply list, with the sketch each of us used for our creation to help you re-create any of the design teams designs SIMPLE and EASY! All the work has been done if you don’t want to think about your holiday layout, and what you need for supplies. They supplies are listed for 25 cards.

Details for my cards and supplies-on Nicholes Blog

I decided that I would use Snowfall & Snowfall additions-to be released tomorrow!

My creations are called Gently Falling Snow because that is what I am reminded of when I look at them. The shimmery white cardstock, and Ocean blue art glitter-like ice, are the perfect pair.

Set of 6

When designing my own holiday cards, I like to keep it as simple as possible and the less layers the better, as I have WAY over 50 to make!

If it’s not fast and easy then its not for me! Mass producing is something I LOATHE. I have to say that playing with all the glitter was fun!

To me its in the little details that make the simple cards POP! I LOVE glitter, and vellum, so those were definitely going to be a part of this years design.  The snowflake punch and this set are AWESOME together! I went with the shimmery white cardstock with Encore  silver ink and lots of glitter!! Doesn’t is remind you of snow?

My cards were VERY easy this year! Just a couple simple steps.

Close up photo

By layering the 2 dotted square frames from Borders & Corners square set in silver ink, it gives the illusion of layers.

For some POP- I punched my vellum snowflakes, and used the glue pad to stamp the snowflake, then dusted on my glitter. Applied the large snowflake with a dimensional. I also punched a little square, and added a little snowflake to that!

See the dimension.

By adding these 2 layers on dimensionals, my card looks like it took a lot of work when in reality they were very quick.

When these 6 were done I did package them up all nice You will see that tomorrow!

I hope you like my version of a snowy white Christmas card!

Make sure you check Nicholes blog for all the details!! The release party is TONIGHT! 9pm EST! You know I am over the moon with excitement, so I hope to chat with you then!

I am very excited about the first peek I get to share here for the October Papertrey Ink release! 

If you haven’t noticed I LOVE party planning. Love it.

I am always seeking new and fun party  ideas for my children. Parents Magazine is a favorite for me, with their yearly special birthday issue. Years ago, when I subscribed, they had a recipe card invite idea. I used that idea to have a cookie decorating party for Alexa when she turned 4. To date it was one of my favorite parties, ever!

Anyway……when I saw Nichole come out with these new Recipe cards (get this, you get 100 in a pack!!), and a co-ordinating Recipe stamp set, with Recipe Labels, I was over the moon! Not only did I have a bajillion gift ideas pop into my head, but I immediately thought of a Papertrey themed “Recipe for a fun party” invite.

So I took my recipe card, and filled out what my party theme was going to be in the “recipe” section.

Label image

In the set there are several label images. I stamped my recipe card label topper with the swirly pattern, in spring moss.

There are also sentiments you would see on a recipe card. Since they are stamps you can place them where you want/need, depending on where your info starts and stops!

I used the elements from the set to give instructions about the party, and keep with the recipe theme. I wrote out my info in black, then stamped the recipe elements in Plum Pudding ink.

 See, after I write my necessary info, I then can space the next category, where I left off.

No more SQUISHING it into the place you are given! You just write what you need, then stamp the next category. The recipe card is 2 sided, so you can continue info on the back! No need to worry about fitting everything in the front.

Once my card was filled out ,I then made a topper using the It’s a Celebration set. Instead of party hats, and cupcakes, I decided that one of the party hats would be a “cone”, and the cupcake top would be my scoop of ice cream.

Now a fun and EASY way to get that glittery scoop, with perfect coverage:

Get some double sided CLEAR adhesive (like wide red line tape). Stamp your image, and cut out. Layer the tape onto the front of your image.

Trim excess tape off.

 Remove protective layer, and sprinkle on iridescent ice embossing powder. Tap off excess, and heat set!

Layer onto scoop on label.

It works PERFECTLY! No need to get messy with the versamark anymore. Cute huh?

This is the completed recipe invitation (Don’t mind my horrible handwriting-I am a TYPER, not a writer! LOL!)

Now the Recipe cards are made to fit perfectly with the Just Hatched Egg boxes. Hooray for awesome gift ideas this holiday. Knowing that, this entire party idea just fell together perfectly!

I had to use the absolutely YUMMY new paper collection from Papertrey Ink called Polka Dot Parade, as my color inspiration. This pattern is the petite plum moss moon dots!! Wait until you see this months paper, you will just be in heaven.

This is what I came up with.

Sundae Party Box/Invite

Recipe for a : Ice Cream Sundae Party invitation

How fun does this sound? You come to the party  and make your own YUMMY ice cream sundaes!

There are stamps in this Recipe set that  you can use for your “categories” to file your recipe’s into.

Example, my set used the “condiments” label. There are also desserts, appetizers, entrees….the list goes on.

Now the front of my box was decorated to match my theme. I used the Condiments label for the front to show that ice cream sundae condiments were  included in my Sundae Party Box. These are the labels you could otherwise use to section off your recipe’s inside the Just Hatched box.

 I think its always cute stamping something that appears to be UNDER the label. You can do this by making sure your label is stamped in a darker ink. EXAMPLE: My ice cream cone was stamped in spring moss ink, and my scoop was stamped in Lavendar Moon ink. So my condiments label was stamped in Plum Pudding.

Now for a view of my box lid.

In this photo the open box is sitting on top of my lid, but I wanted you to see the label for the top. I used the Recipe Label, and then decorated the top cone to match!

Now what is inside the box……

This is what is included in my box.

I have 4 ice cream cones. Each filled with a fun yummy ice cream topping!

We have 2 jars of different sprinkles. I totally lucked out having purple tops to match!! I just stamped the confetti image from the Its a Celebration set, and made my labels.

Then we have 4 ice cream cones. I used disposable frosting bags (I purchased mine at Michaels), and filled them with gummy dots, crushed chocolate covered toffee pretzels, crushed oreo’s, and Jelly Belly jelly beans, then tied with twill Plum pudding ribbon. The tops were cut down, and they fit PERFECTLY into the cones!

 I would put different toppings into each party box.

Now WHO wouldn’t want top come to such a fun party? I cannot wait to have one of these!

This is the box. All closed up, for after the party.

You can decorate these and place them on your party table. It would looks so pretty and festive! OR you can send this off with your guests as a favor, and put in any condiments you want for them to use in the future. If you have the cones in the holders with the candy (as presented above)  it obviously would NOT close! You may even decide to omit the lid! I did a great project using my lid –>here<–, so no waste!

Well I hope this is just the tip of the iceberg of ideas you get for this awesome set!

I know this recipe set will be used on many of my holiday gift’s this year.

Thanks for reading and be sure to check Nichole’s blog for more details.

Tomorrow I have a HUGE announcement here, so check back in, as you will NOT want to miss it

Hi world!

Just popping in super quick here.

I have a Papertrey Ink peek tomorrow to kickoff the countdown So I have to finish getting that done, and again finish up stuff for my big news! AND, I have to get my butt in gear for my classes at The Paper Tree. YIKES -Tick, tock.

In the meantime here is the card I made Jason, for his 31st birthday!

You know you’re old when-set is by Gina K Designs

I don’t know what it was about this set, but I really just HAD to have it. Granted it has never seen ink until 2 weeks ago, but the important thing is it was there when I NEEDED IT!

I think the set is hilarious and has the best sentiments! I fell in love with this old guy for some reason. He isn’t my “usual” style and I like that sometimes.

Jason is the one with the sense of humor in the relationship. So, when thinking of WHAT set to use for his card (he gets really mad if I don’t make him a card, and holds me to high standards! LOL!) this one came to mind because of the OLD MAN

I colored him all up to match my strip of paper (Basic Grey paper- Cucpacke collection??), using my Copic markers. I then added fun flock to the hair on his head, and in his ears! LOL! Its really cool in person.

OK blurry photo-sorry.

Anyway, for the inside I stamped ALL the hilarious sentiments from this set.

It turned out really cute, and was such a Jason card

I swear he is going to look just like this when he gets old! LOL!

I used my number collage embossing folder, inked up for the bkgd piece on this card too.

All in all this card took about 20 minutes. The layout was what stumped me most.

Well thanks for checking in with me everyone. I still have SO much stuff to share but LIFE is demanding to be first these day, and deadlines! LOL!

 Don’t miss tomorrow’s post.

Later!

WOW! I never should have teased you all about my big announcement! I got lots of emails and guesses I didn’t reply to any because, honestly I can’t share it yet, and it only a few days away! Trust me, it kills me more than you! LOL! I’m really excited that you all are so excited already too! Just wait ……..good stuff!!

OK Im still busy so Im keepin this quick-well as quick as chatty me can.

I have totally fallen for this new line from MFT Presents-Anne LaPointe. Maybe that is because I love flowers so much? Anyway I got 2 totally different looking cards to share today.

This single is called Chill Out

I’m generally not a “bright” color person, but this tub made me feel so happy I could not resist.

 Plus this Scrum-diddilly-umscious (thats not a brand, but my own word I use) Chatterbox paper makes me smile! I am just in love with it. So I colored my bath tub to match, making it funky and cheery. I guess it doesn’t really have those “calm down” colors! LOL! Lemon tart is just AWESOME!!

Side Note: I had a meeting with Noah’s teacher yesterday, and she was “concerned” because he colors things “untraditional” colors. She said “He doesn’t care if his tree leaves are blue, the trunk is yellow, and his dog is purple (he always makes purple dogs because he says that is our dog Daisy in my favorite color :D)” Well she obviously has no idea WHO she is talking to! I told her I encourage my kids to be creative and think “outside” the box. Picasso was a famous painter and his people often didn’t even look like people!!! AND to chill, because  Noah is in Kindergarten!! Geesh. I think his drawings are all fabulous!

OK back to MY “untraditional” creation……..

I sponged behind my flowers with Lemon Tart ink, then colored my flowers with my singlo white gel pen. I’m really happy with the layout too! I think its a fun one. Not centered and layered all perfect, but balanced at the same time!!

The flowers are a Martha Stewart punch, with some Michaels vase filler bead thingy’s for the centers. The leaves are my famous bridal confetti find from Michaels, colored green.

The sentiment in the corner-Define you life is from a Stampin Up set.

OK moving on to a totally different look-

Rosemary

I can’t even tell you how much I LOVE this image! Its very different than her other vases.

I LOVE pruple and realized that it may be my favorite color, but I rarely use it in my creations! GASP! I am shocked by this finding. I checked out my scrap paper stash and saw that yellows, greens, chocolate, black and pink are my TOP colors! So I went with this card instead, and am very happy with it.

I used Plum Pudding from Papertrey ink (matching satin ribbon too). I also used my Core-din-ations cardstock in Lilacs, which added not only a nice contrast, but some texture!!

I used my coluzzle circle cutter (I personally LOVE that thing-I know others don’t like it, but I would recommend it for cutting It also has different size circles than the Nestabilities, so yes you need it! LOL!) to create my rounded top. I then layered a scallop circle cut from my nestabilities behind the layer to give me that look! Pretty cool huh?!

I challenge YOU to try that too. SO FUN!

I chose the Sprout collection from Memory Box for my patterned paper. I felt it was just so soft and feminine. I stamped the vase in the pattern as well, and adhered it with dimensionals, so it pops forward.

Now once I was done-SOMETHING was missing!! So I pierced a the top for interest and to draw your eye into the center, keeping it subtle, using an onare piercing template (which I LOVE!!!!). Then I was done!

Well I’m off. Only 3 more days to wait

Till tomorrow-

Basically Im super busy but wanted to post some sort of eye candy for you

Read to the end because I have a bit of a challenge for you all who, like me, am short on stamp time this week.

SHORT POST TODAY

Saturday I have a super HUGE announcement that is going to get every stamper excited! I know I can’t even sleep over it! Because of that, Im tying up some loose ends here to get everything ready for everyone Trust me, its a DO NOT MISS! The biggest thing I have ever done-enough said.

In the meantime, I have been meaning to post these 4 cards, all done with the Silent Night from Lizzie Anne Designs.

I went with the attempt at under 5 minutes each.

Sometimes its gorgeous, other times, maybe a few extra minutes would help! LOL!

Here is what I got-

Wise men

I think this card is STUNNING!

I just used glossy cardstock, and sponge daubers with my ink.

Layered it with vellum cardstock, and in seriously like 4 minutes this card was born

 A perfect under 5 card!

Keeping with simple……

Silent and soft

OK Im truly not crazy about this but again I tried to get this done in under 5 min. Not my best work.

I stamped the vellum cardstock with white StazOn and made it a soft window card.

The cardstock is a shimmer baby blue.

I think its a bit too plain, but the die cutting of the windows took me a little time, so keeping with my time limit, its OK.

Spectrum City

OK remember “back in the day” when people would stamp their Spectrum ink pad onto some cardstock, then stamp the image onto it? Well that is what I did with this. Not loving the brightness of the blues, but I do like the look.

I then cut out the layer and layered it onto white.

Stamped my sentiment, and done!

Well that is it for me.

I’ll be back later-the release for All That Scraps release party is tonight! 8pm EST-don’t miss it.

As always thianks for stopping by! I hope you get inspired in some way when you visit.

Today I want to challenge YOU to make 3 cards, same stamp set-in under 5 minutes!!

DON’T over think it!! Just go with it. Use an old layout, and keep it SIMPLE! OK!

Ready-set-GO!

I told you this week is insane for me and you haven’t seen the half of it, I promise you. Only a few more days!!

I still have to plan my projects for my class at The Paper Tree. I need to actually go there and get my supplies so I can get my samples done. I am teaching 2 classes this month on the 25th. Check it out, and if you can sign up!! I’d LOVE to meet you I wanted to do more, but with all my kids activites-birthdays, soccer, dance, girl scouts…to name a few, then throw in yearly check ups and doctor appointments, color me insanely busy

I know I always say I’m busy. That is because I am. You know what though, I don’t know what to do with myself if I’m NOT busy. I think I really thrive on the one thing after another. Seriously! Also the less busy I am the creative! isn’t that wierd? I swear its true. Its like my brain won’t work if Im not thinking about a bajillion things at once, or if Im not stressed.

See stress = creativity for me. Its my outlet.

I have so many amazing things to share with you over the next couple days, I really hope you will share my excitment when the time comes

In the meantime, while I sit on my excitment, I have some peeks to share. I have done so much work lately that I ran out of my ATG Adhesive! OMG! How am I going to work without that?!!

This one is quite SIMPLE!

I do have a couple other designs to share, but none that I really like, so its back to stamping I go. Don’t you hate when that happens. Everything turns out SO not like you planned. Or you have a dream that is about an AWESOME card/creation and forget! BLAH!

OK enough rambling…….

Your cave or mine?

I love that sentiment. I made this cared for my hubby. How can you not? Its so cute.

They remind me of the cartoon Caiiou (?sp) or Dennis the menace. Please tell me you know what Im talking about. I love their pudgy lil faces

The boy & girl are a separate stamp (just so you know), and I used elements from the set fo make my “scene”.

This set I used for this card is a new set called Eric & Chrissy GO Prehistoric. It will be released tomorrow at All That Scraps, with the rest of the sets I have shared here. There is such a wide variety to choose from this month with the introduction of 3 new lines.

So the party is tomorrow night 8pm EST. Check out the forum–> here! The release of the sets is at 10pm!

So if you like any of the new stuff, there you go!

Be back with more shortly

This is my 3rd post for today-so scroll down! Oh and don’t miss the Sat sketch OK!!

Birthday Girl

This card was made for Amber’s friend. We are going to her party next weekend. She looks just like this little girl, I swear.

Well if you haven’t seen yet, my dear friend Jen Ofiana has come out with her very own line (I know crazy!) called Stampin Spot. HUGE Congrats to Jen!! She is also having a giveaway –> here! That is an amazing accomplishment. I can only imagine how weird it would be to see your drawings made into stamps, then used by others!

This little girl is named Sadie. This month you can choose from 3 different Sadie singles. I think each one is super cute, but the birthday is my favorite She will be released on the 7th.

Of course seeing the heart on her shirt made me think pink, red and black. I love that combo of V-day stuff, so figured why not? I think she also looks like a cheerleader (yeah!).

So I used the Big Ol’hearts bkgd stamp colored direct to stamp with red and pink markers for my patterned piece. It was a match made in heaven!

OK I need to run. We have company coming over, and I have things to whip together before they get here. Guess I will NOT be stamping on WCMD :C Oh well. There is always tomorrow. I was already “informed” that football is on in the afternoon-BLECH.
