When Nature Takes Over
Topic: Photo

Sometimes a thing gets set down for a minute and nature just takes over! We took this bird feeder down to paint the eves of the house and a couple of weeks later the vines from the lower deck had begun to surround it. Fortunately it did so in a most attractive manner.

Not that it got to stay here, though. After taking the photo the vines were uprooted and the feeder moved out of the way of painting this side of the house.

Three Fat Cats
Topic: Stamping

I ran across this stamp while looking for a text block on an acrylic stamp set. I had no idea what I would do with it when I stamped it three times on yellow plaid paper and cut close around them.

I selected a yellow background cardstock and stamped the cats three times on it. Then I tore the pink card to create 'grounding' for them. When the plaid cats were glued over the ones stamped on the yellow it gave them back the whiskers and topknots that were originally cut off.

Some acrylic stamp stems were stamped repeatedly in the foreground and then I found the awesome text sticker. I mounted it on some of the pink and cut with a very thin border.

I think this cat is so funny looking!

Blocked Poppy
Topic: Stamping

A stamped image and some scraps came together for this bright card. Not very often will I make a card using so much orange, but I think it works for this one - makes it cheery.

I used a scroll stamp on a strip of cardstock to create a border and added some ribbon to the center.

The sticker in the lower right is stamped.

How Do I Think Of Thee? With Love.
Topic: Stamping

I cut close around the stamped focal image after coloring then I used a bit of distress ink on the edges. I used the same distress ink on the definition print paper and the checked background paper. The image got a bow tied around the stem via slits cut in the cardstock. After layering (with the focal on 3D dots) I added a block stamp, a scroll stamp and a text border embosses with the cuttlebug.

A nice little greeting with a casual feel.

Foil Trio
Topic: Stickers

More use of the foil and gold outline stickers. Same background paper used, same ribbon, also used Cuttlebug embossing.

I used three rhinestones as enhancements.

3D Foil
Topic: 3D paperwork

 With a supply of foil from another project, I used gold stacking Dazzles stickers to create this 3D rose. I used a shimmery lavender pape, run through the Cuttlebug and wrapped with sheer lavender ribbon. I placed this on white folded cardstock and added gold corner stickers.

Blow Me Away
Topic: Stamping

Another repeat appearance of a stamp. I tore the right edge and then tore a similar edge from a printed paper with definitions and bands of color. I used a distressor to rough up these torn edges.

The yellow layer was run through the Cuttlebug for texture and I wrapped and tied a Martha Stewart ribbon around it. Not fond of this ribbon - too stiff.

All layers are stacked on a folded lavender base.

Floral Note
Topic: Stamping

This is a repeat performance of the wheelbarrow of flowers. The image and a backing piece were cut and embossed with nestabilities die. I used the printed paper to bring out more of the colors from the stamped image and rounded the corners of this layer as well as the white card base.

As a last step I stamped a greeting on the image panel.

Bouquet of Praise
Topic: Stamping

The center image for this card was stamped, painted and cut out and then combined with a plethora of table scraps. I do love this pierced paper - and almost out of it! I had already cut out the scalloped center for another project so I backed it with a square of teal scrap.

Those rows of holes just call out for ribbon weaving so I added the teal ribbon and tied a couple of bows.

I used a folded card base in lavender to pick out yet another color from the image and then dropped on some lavender rhinestones over 6 of the punched holes.

In the empty space at the bottom I used an acrylic stamp for the text.

Sign of the Times
Topic: Other Projects

When you have hay for sale but don't live nearby a road sign seems like a good idea. This way buyers can call to make purchase arrangements.

I made this with scrap plywood and an extra sawhorse we had. I painted it with leftover house trim paint and some black glossy paint left over from painting the wrought iron stair railings. I made a stencil on the computer, printed it out, cut by hand with a craft knife and then traced it on the sign before painting.

First sale came withing 45 minutes of posting the sign!

Hay, That Looks Good Enough To Eat!
Topic: Photo

This was the first year we cut hay at our farm and it looks so nice in the field waiting for buyers to load it and take it away.

Suddenly, after almost three years, we FEEL like farmers.

(sorry for the late posting - don't know where the original post went. It just didn't show up this morning when it was supposed to and I don't find it lurking in the queue anywhere.)

Weeds of Royalty
Topic: Photo

This blossom cluster of Queen Anne's Lace was at the edge of our hay field at the farm. I am always amazed by the extreme delicacy of the tiny flowers on these.

Photographing these was difficult since I was using the macro mode and the wind was blowing. I guess you can tell that my camera is pretty good at stop-action.

Timeless Imagination
Topic: Stamping

I chose the backing paper for this and cut out the stamped image then decided there was too much contrast. I left the image in the scalloped die and spritzed it with diluted blue re-inker in a mini-mister.

I liked the effect so did it again on the orange folded cardstock base.


I used two cardstock text stickers and added a rub-on border. As a final touch I threaded and tied orange thread through three scalloped buttons and adhered them with glue dots.

Seashells on the Shore
Topic: Stamping

Another stamped image - this time seashells. I used more table scraps for everything except the ribbon and the text stickers.

Poppy With Thanks
Topic: Stamping

I colored up this stamped image some time ago but just got around to using it. I pulled together table scraps for the cardstock, printed papers, and green scallops.

I used a Nestabilities label die to cut the image and used a corner punch to round the pink dotted paper corners.


The text is a rub-on and I added three rhinestones upper right for balance.

On My Way Home
Topic: Photo

I love the view we get of Mt Hood from multiple vantage points as we drive about on our daily business. This shot was taken through the windshield of the car on the way home from shopping the other day.


Ain't she a beauty?

Back to School
Topic: Stamping

The fish are back - with a new color scheme. I added the same splish-splash stickers to the background and the clear bubbles to the eyes. A different greeting for this one and a smaller base card.

I added the Stickles to the fins and tail and also to the blue parts of the body.

Troubles Float Away
Topic: Stamping

Stamped and colored these fish and then made them a watery background with colored pencils. I found these 'splash' stickers in my stash and added them for effect. Mounted on teal cardstock and stamped the greeting half on and half off the image panel.

Here you can see the glitter I added to the fins and tail and the 'bubble' stickers I added to the fish eyes.

A little bit of summer on paper!

Thoughtful Primate
Topic: Scrap Recovery

An advertising brochure for travel yielded up this winsome face. How could I throw that in the trash? I had to use it in a card!

I trimmed it up with scraps from my cutting table, including the greeting strip.

While looking for embellishments I found a sticker sheet of clear 'bubbles' and used them on the eyes. Look at how this enhances the gaze from those beautiful brown eyes.
