Here is the card I did for Make it Monday over on Nichole’s blog for PTI.  I had lots of fun with this technique and will definitely be using ot more often.  I used On My Couch and On My Couch Additions from PTI.  The designs on the chairs were done with images from BoBunny Jazmyne that I picked up at the local scrapbook store.  I used the following Colorbox Chalk cat’s eyes inks: mint, celadon,apple green, fresh green, moss green, and olive along with Stazon Jet black.  The inside as a white layer with an image stamped on it as well as the envie.  You can see another card I made using the chair from On My Couch and the same technique here.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great Saturday.  This isn’t the best picture either.  It’s a 3×6 card.  I got the idea for the card size from card a la carte.  It’s a very fun size to play with, give it a try!

Hello all!  Today I sat down and created this card for the PTI inspiration blog hop.  I just love this photo.  I decided to go with the On My Couch set.  I have been using Erin Lincoln’s reverse masking technique that was shared for this weeks Make It Monday #20.  I have been having so much fun with it!  If you have not played around with this technique, you have to give it a try!  I have do reverse masking in the past but have never added another image to an image in this way before.  So quick and fun!  I did each chair on the card using this technique.  The bottom chair is cut out and adhered to the top of one that was stamped under it (I messed up that chair and didn’t want to scrap the whole card since that was the last chair to be done so I decided to “hide” the mistake instead ;)  The sentiment is from On My Couch Additions. This is one of the first sets I got from PTI and I just love it.  The thread is DMC 327. I used black csw for the base with the white layer on the outside and inside of the card. On the inside I stamped the image that’s on the bottom chair in that same color.  I did the same on the envelope. I like to stamp a little something on the inside of my cards as well as the envelopes. I think it gives them a little ’sneak peak’ when done on the envie The masking was done with images from the BoBunny Jazmyne set.  I used the following inks from Colorbox Chalk Eyes: ice blue, french blue, ice jade, aquamarine, wisteria and warm violet and stazon jet black.  Make sure you stop by Nichole’s blog to check out the blog hop if you haven’t already.

Sorry the picture is a bit dark.  It’s been cloudy here and this was the best one I took.

Here are some white lunch bags I stamped on and filled with goodies for my boys. The monster is from My Little Monsters from Recollections.  The hearts are from Bo Bunny Love birds.  Do you see that vase on the left?  My oldest made that at school for me!  So sweet and it’s made using a recycled glass bottle!

I just love this stamp set.  These little monsters are so fun! These containers are a mini version of large ones that my mom, brother, sister and I have.  We use them during the holidays to hold all our baked goods.  I thought these would be fun to have to either fill with candies or when they just want to bring a few cookies along to someone’s house.  They hold more than you would think .  There’s two trays and each tray held 10 cookies!  I was very surprised by this.  These are filled with monster cookies which is their favorite cookie that I make :)  I re-used the twine from the original tag that was on each container.  I used the largest tag in the Sizzix scallop tag combo set 2.  The little hearts were done with the love birds set mentioned above and colorbox chalk dark brown.  Then I wrote 2 little monsters love u!

Here’s a closer look at the tag on a different container.

Here are some things we made for Christmas.  I am so bummed that the pictures are bad because the towel turned out great!  We do something every Christmas for my son’s teachers and this year I decided to have him make his present for them.  I started off with buying flour sack towels.  I washed them and ironed them.  Then I stamped these awesome ornament images from Bo Bunny onto the towel using Colorbox Chalk charcoal.  I then heat set them with my iron.  Then to help Tanner out I stamped the same images again on freezer paper and cut the insides out of them.  I lined them up on the towel and ironed them onto it.  This way as Tanner colored in the ornaments (with Crayola fabric markers) and went out of the lines, it went onto the freezer paper instead of the towel.  Next I peeled off all of the freezer paper and heat set them again according to the box of markers.  I re-ironed the towels and folded them, putting them into these boxes that I made using cs and transparencies.  I tied wide white grosgrain ribbon around them and attached the snowflake tag.  The tag read to: and from: and he wrote his name on each one.  I used the same tags to attached to all the goodie bags he was giving his classmates.  The bags had candy, candy canes, a pencil and a little pad of paper I wiped up.  The pad picture was taken with my cell phone.  I hope you can see it ok.  Thanks for looking
