Sophia Workshop On the Go Stamp Set






Here's a card I made using Sky & Cotton Candy Cardstock & Ink and the stamp set from the Sophia Workshop On the Go. I've had the ribbon around for who knows how long and of couse on the box are three of the fun flowers made with our scallop punch. I love the sayings You are so, and you can do Wonderful, Kind and Amazing. As soon as I saw the bird I knew I had to have it, and the flourish stamp in this set is one of the most pretty I've ever seen .

May...Pages, Project & Stamp of the Month

Here's the hostess club pages and project for this month. I decided on a box instead of a bag and if I do say so myself I think it's pretty nice. I really love the April Stamp of the month-Blessed and I'm looking forward to trying it out in some different colors although I always have loved this combo for just about anything. I used Pear, Gypsy, Sky and Heavenly Blue paper & ink. Our technique as planned was making our own B & T paper---the spray pen made it extra fun! I added a surprise technique...making paper carnations...I LOVE making them...oh so easy and they look fab(u-lous)! Just for kicks I thought I would show my first prototype layout. I was just not happy with it at first and as you can see I exchanged a couple of the Gypsy pieces with White Daisy and it really brightened things up...exactly what it needed for the bold summer colors. First prototype...

Don't you agree this one is better?

Here are the boxes everyone can choose to do whatever one they like the best-

Ok, promise kept!! Here's baby Norah, and oh boy how could there ever be cuter St. Patrick's Day pics than these?? I may have gone a little overboard with the green but this sure was fun! I used some Christmas clearance alphabet stickers and St. Patty's embellishments that I've had for YEARS!! The clover and good luck stamps are from Jubilation; which will be the Stamp of the Month in June. All ink & paper is CTMH, (cute green polka dot paper is from the Sophia Lvl II kit). Punch is Martha Stewart.

Ok, ok so I promised that the next layout for Norah would have her pic's; but so sorry I had to do this one early because it has the March Stamp of the Month on it. I could not be more pleased with our new Pink Button Assortment, there are 72 extra cute buttons in a pack. With a new grandbaby girl to scrapbook I wonder how many packs I will use before it's all said & done!! As if there weren't enough options in each paper pack as it is, so many of our 8 new kits in the new catalog are perfect for mixing & matching i.e. Miracle and Sweetheart as I have done in this example.

OMG! February!


Sheesh, I really thought I posted in January, but I guess it was because I got so excited and posted what I made with the January SOM so early. I JUST realized that so here's my hurried post since it's been so darn long....it's another layout to match one of Norah's outfits. I promise the next one I post will have her picture on it! As you can see I used the Create a Critter cartridge I LOVE it (the cartridge that is) I'll love the layout when I get my little cupcake's picture added. I can hardly wait to show you the layout I made her for Easter. Oh guess I should let you know I used CTMH Heavenly Blue, Sweet Leaf, Chocolate, Desert Sand, Cocoa and White Daisy Cardstock.

Find Your Style - January 2011 Stamp of the Month---Batch 2!





I am definately enjoying this set!! The new Wings Paper Packet is so pretty too!!! Since this is such an eclectic set I thought I could sneak in a few bejeweled four leaf clovers to "Irish" it up a bit for March. The clovers are from an upcoming Stamp of the Month; Jubilation which will be available during the month of June.
