Momma Mar (with RobbynW signs!) is in Kokken!

Hey all! There's a new Danish Cafe, called Kokken, opening in St. Jacobs this coming Monday. They specialize in open faced sandwiches that sound delicious! My friend Sarah, from Momma Mar, has her products there, and asked me to design her signs. (Click on the photo for a close up) I think they look fab with her products! Be sure check out Kokken (located in the old Cake Box site), to have a snack, pick up some Momma Mar product, and admire my signs! ;o)

Hope you're all having a great Saturday!

Artful*Inkers Design Team, 3D Items!

Hi there friends! Ok, so I know stamping on glass with Staz On isn't a new idea...however I didn't think I'd be able to do it reliably and clearly with such detailed images as in the Clearly for You Stamp Set, and the Nature Walk Stamp Set. So...I made a template from scrap paper, traced it on clear Mat Tack, and cut it out. Then I stamped on the Mat Tack with Staz On, and though the images remained shiny and I was suuuuure they'd never dry ;o) I bravely touched a butterfly and what do you know? The images were instantly dry! Peel off the Mat Tack backing and adhere to the candle holder, and VOILA! A very fast, very easy, very pretty candle to keep or gift! Hope you all enjoy!

This project was created for the Artful*Inkers Deisign Team, in which 5 of us showcase projects made with a different Suite from the current Occasions Mini Catalogue. I am thrilled to show you the Botanical Gazette Suite, and be sure to check out my team mates blogs to see their 3D items created with different Suites!

Sweet Pea Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day all! Here is a card and candy sack designed by my upline, Donna. We made these cuties at our last team meeting.

Ingredients: (All SU!)
I'm winging this from memory here...but I think we used Wild Wasabi CS and Classic Ink, Rose Red CS and Stampin' Write, Pretty In Pink CS, Soft Suede Stampin' Write, Love You Much Stamp Set, Valentine Defined Stamp Set, Big Shot, Top Note Die, Sweet Pea felt accents (retired, and not the right name, just can't remember what it is!)

Love You

Hey there friends! Here is the card Andrea Walford demo'd at our last team meeting. Super cute, right??? I altered mine verrrry slightly, the small heart was red, with black embossing powder around the edges, but mine kept smudging, so I re-stamped mine at home! I like the black heart there!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Real Red CS and Classic Ink, Basic Black CS, embossing powder, Classic Ink, and 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Versa Mark Ink, Love Letter DSP, Very Vanilla CS, Heart to Heart Extra Large Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Two Tags Bigz Die, Big Shot, Pop Dots, and I have no idea where the large heart is from...any ideas anyone???

It's Valen-TIME'S day!!! ;o)

Corny, right??? Sorry girls, I could NOT resist! ;o) My main floor powder room, has a spot to display stamped clocks. I had my Christmas clock there until this past weekend, when I finally got around to stamping a new one. The inspiration came from the gorgeous card one of my sidelines (Ruth Hill) created for our last team meeting swaps. Looking at the 2 items side by side, I am thinking I need to add some of that uber sweet Pom Pom Trim to my next Stampin' Up! order to embellish the frame!!!

Clock Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Versa Mark Ink, Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, Melon Mambo Classic Ink, Tangerine Tango Classic Ink, I {Heart} Hearts Stamp Set, Heat Tool, gems from my crafty stash.

Artful*Inkers Design Team, All things "booklike"

Hey there friends! Here is another journal I made for myself, and luckily it fits into this weeks Artful*Inkers Design Team requirements! LOL! Can you tell I loooove this DP? Seems all of my personal things are being covered in it!!! Can anyone guess where the inspiration for the flower came from? I still have an unopened package of the Stitched Felt Sweet Pea Embellies in my cupboard that I really wanted to use, but since this note pad is one I carry everywhere, I didn't want to risk having it rip off and ruin my book. So voila! SU! CS, punches and a white gel pen to the rescue, and I can have my flower without detriment to my book.

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Botanical Gazette DSP, Pretty in Pink CS and Classic Ink, Old Olive CS and Classic Ink, Early Espresso CS, White Gel Pen, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, 1" Circle Medium Punch, Fancy Flower Extra Large Punch, Heart to Heart Extra Large Punch, Slot Punch...which I don't see in the catty anywhere...did it retire???

A little tip...the leaves are from the Heart to Heart Punch, but one "bump" is trimmed with my snips to be uneven giving it more of a leaf look than a heart look.

Be sure to check out my team mates work, they are each featuring a different Suite from the current Occasions Mini, and the theme this week is "All things booklike"!

Come on Back February 15th for the Design Team post of 3D items, and them coming in March, it's everything else that didn't fit into a category!

Artful*Inkers DT "All Things Book Like"

Good morning everyone! Today is the release of the Artful*Inkers Design Team "All Things Book Like" series! Our projects were made with the suites we were assigned. The suites come from the new Mini Catty which went LIVE January 4th. (Eeeks! So gorgeous, have you seen the catty??? Call me to set up a workshop so you can earn some of this product for FREE!) I've been selected to show you all the Botanical Gazette Suite, so here is the first "book like" project I am sharing:



Now, I did use some retired product on this project for a few reasons. The first is that it's my personal 2011 journal (how could I resist that GORGEOUS DSP???) and I wanted it "just so", even WITH retired product, and the second reason is frankly, I am a TERRIBLE accessory "hoarder"!!! I order gorgeous accessories, and then want to SAVE them vs. use them, and then I end up with a ton of left over buttons, brads etc. One of my goals this year is to USE these items up, so I am sure you will be seeing more to come! :o) Needless to say, you all could create this project easily with current products too.

For the next few days, I will continue to post "All Things Book Like", and then the Design Team schedule is as follows:

Feb. 15, 3D Items
Mar. 1 to Mar. 30 Anything we desire!

Please visit the rest of my super creative DT girls, to see the other suites in action!
