Time for Christmas
From Heidi...
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a fun time and definitely ate more than we needed, but that's part of the fun, right? Here's a Christmas card to share using Crystal Effects. I added Crystal Effects over the top of the stamped snowflake. CS: Bashful Blue, Ruby Red, Whisper White. Ink: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue. Accessories: Soft Suede 5/8" dotted grosgrain ribbon, Brad, Eyelet Edge Punch.

A Glittery Snowman
From Heidi...
Here's a cute snowman (I'm sorry that my picture is blurry) from the Snow Buddies stamp set which I filled in by brushing on Crystal Effects mixed with Dazzling Diamond glitter. I watercolored the rest of him (scarf, hat, and nose). I used Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Ruby Red, and Whisper White. He sure looks happy! I saw this cute card layout from another blogger's site (sorry, I don't know who you are!) She used SU's Hostess stamp set using the pea for the snowman... it was too cute! Thanks for stopping by...and if we don't get another blog posted before Thanksgiving, we hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Christmas Card
From Heidi...
Where does the time go? Wow...it's been awhile since I've posted something here on our blog. I keep meaning to get my Christmas cards posted, but there's always just "one more thing" that seems to take presidence! I'm glad that there's two of us...I'm sure our blog site is glad that there's two of us, otherwise it might feel more neglected than it already does. But anyway...here's a Christmas card I wanted to share. I love this layout using two different coordinating DS papers, which I saw used on another card. The DS paper is Holiday Lounge, Stamp Set: Snow Buddies (stocking). I used Crystal Effects to create an icicle border which I placed on the top of the Whisper White CS. After watercoloring the stockings, I filled them in with Crystal Effects to make them pop out. This was a fun card to make! I had fun creating all the little details

Holiday Happiness
From Adriel:
Awhile ago, I was inspired by some colors I saw in a combination together and wanted to make a Christmas card with those colors. I sat down and tried out different colors before deciding on this color combo: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pink Passion and lots of white!
Patterned Pines, the new hostess set we recently earned, made fun little trees for this card. I inked them up individually and cut them out. I dimensioned the trees over an Old Olive strip that I did some faux stitching on... okay, not my strength. I need some practice on faux stitching and getting the stitches even. (Kristina Werner makes it look terribly easy!)
I used a medium dot stamp from a random stamp set... I think we've got 2 or 3 of those dots from different sets! Anyway, dotted the bottom of the card in the various colors. Finished the card off with a sentiment from an old set called "So Many Sayings" and little tiny rhinestones on one of the trees.
Had fun, enjoyed myself and made something new! =)

Two Happy Stampers' Weekend Find
Happy weekend to all of you!
I've spent part of my Saturday looking at fun ideas on the internet. I wanted to share this cute video I watched for a gift card holder using the scallop envelope die for the Big Shot. We've got one of these!! Yay! Can't wait to try this idea... feeling like creating today, and of course it would be the day that I'm not at my mom's (where all of the stamping stuff is). Oh well... sometimes that's how it goes. Anyway, enjoy the video and have a great rest of the weekend! =)

Special Recipes Deserve a Special Home
From Adriel:
That's right... a home like this!
I finished the recipe binder my mom previewed a few days ago. It's all done and in our shop ready for some special recipes.
The inside is complete with dividers and tabs for a variety of foods. Most of the tabs have been hand-stamped with images from "From the Kitchen of" stamp set. Two of the images my mom threw together on her computer using word and they worked out great. The images have all been water colored using the blender pen and ink technique.
The holes in the dividers are all reinforced with matching designer paper. And if you're familiar with stamping, you probably recognize the paper from last year's Stampin' Up! catalog. It's called "Rockabilly" designer paper and the cherries looked perfect for a recipe album. =)
Anyway, it was fun to make and I'm sure we'll be making more of them! =)

From Adriel:
Here's another new item in our shop and what a great way to show off some pictures and memories!
Here's another new item in our shop and what a great way to show off some pictures and memories!
Chipboard panels have been covered with beautiful designer paper from Stampin' Up! There are 6 beautiful pages completed and ready for pictures. The back of each page has a special journaling spot.
The whole album is put together with file rings at the top with cute ribbon tied around the rings. The album stands upright on its own. Cute!

Don't Leave Your Bread Bare!
From Adriel:
Check out these cute mini bread loaf sleeves that we recently added in our Etsy shop! So cute, right? =)
We made a bunch of these for last weekend's craft show that didn't go so well... oh well! Our Etsy shop always has room for more! =)
We used high quality cardstock from Stampin' Up!. We had some holiday printed paper that we had bought last year in a stack and the prints worked great for these sleeves. The tags we included on each of these sleeves features stamped images from the Hostess set "Snow Buddies" that's available right now in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I watercolored the snowflakes by hand and they're also stamped on the back with a "to / from" stamp.
This set of 6 mini loaf sleeves is available right now in our Etsy shop HERE! Don't leave your bread bare this coming season of giving! Your bread is begging to be cute! =)

Another Altered Composition Book
From Heidi...
Hope you all had a great weekend. We participated in a craft fair this weekend at Vertuccio Farms. We didn't sell much, but the kids had a great time in the corn maze, jumping castle and the tractor train ride. So, it was worth it!
Today we're sharing another one of the three Altered Composition Books we created. We used the same layout on all three, but different designer papers. I forget the name of the SU Designer paper used here, it's retired...but I loved the color combo in it, though.
On another note, I'm looking forward to this Thursday. We're holding our Christmas Treasures class. It's so nice to get together and create with everyone again...especially the projects we're making, they're all so much fun. Have a great Monday!

Altered Composition Books
From Heidi...
I love journaling...and I love journaling in cute journals!! Back in July when Walmart was having their Back-to-School specials, we picked up a bunch of these Composition Books for 50 cents/piece...quite a bargain! These make great journals because of their size and lined notebook pages, but as they are, they're pretty boring on the outside, so we decided to make them cute! We altered this book with SU's Rockabilly designer paper (you'd never know that the other side of this designer paper is decorated with skulls, huh? I'm just not into the skulls and death look, this side looks much happier and cheerier). Once again, I really wish I could use My Digital Studio (did I mention that yesterday, too?), but since I can't I resorted to using Word for my colored oval and "Notes" title. I used the Tart and Tangy stampset to stamp the cherries. We'll be taking these with us to the craft fair we're doing tomorrow at Vertuccio Farms...they've got a bunch of fun happening tomorrow from 10 AM to 10 PM. If you don't have any plans, come on out with your family. They've got a lot of family fun planned.

Recipe Binder
From Heidi...
I wanted to post this Recipe Binder that Adriel has been working on. These smaller view binders are the perfect size for a cookbook and the vinyl sleeves protect the designer covers. We made the covers for one of these binders using all My Digital Studio, but when we found out that MDS is only for personal use and can't be used for business purposes, we were kind of bummed. MDS offers so many fun possibilities! So, we resorted back to Designer Papers, but we've incorporated the computer into this project. Using Word, we were able to create the oval border to fit into our Cuttlebug cutter, and then matched the color of the border with SU's coordinating papers (BTW, I love this paper, too bad it's retired!) and then played around with different fonts and font sizes to fill the oval with. Thanks for looking!

How about some pictures?
From Heidi...
I'm finally able to post some new pictures on our blog...YAY! Today I'm sharing some pictures of a Nature Journal Class we'll be teaching at the Veteran's Oasis Park next month. I've kept a nature journal throughout the years and it's fun to look back through the sketches I've drawn and observations I've made about the world around me. This class will be for 8-16 year olds, so we had to keep the journal simple enough for the younger ones, yet interesting enough for the older students. I hope we achieved our goal. We used chipboard for the covers, held together with notebook rings. It includes 6 category tabbed dividers, 2 pocket envelope pages and 4 photo pages along with embellished journal pages.
