So I was going through photos on my phone and came across these.  I thought I’d share the tag and card I made for my dad’s gift.  We went in on a raised garden bed for my dad with my sister and her family.  He wants to grow strawberries so that’s why I made the strawberry tag and altered the container of strawberries.

For the jar of strawberries on the gift tag I stamped the jar onto transparency paper and then cut it out.  Then I stamped the jar onto white cs and cut it out.   Next I used the mask from the white cs and put the jar back in it.  I then stamped the strawberries in black ink and colored them in my Copics.  I used Aileene’s clear tacky glue to glue the transparency jar to the cs jar.  I love the way it turned out!  I also made that label cover for the carton of strawberries we bought to go with the raised garden bed.  I wrote on both tags and stamped the 5 on the jar tag.  Thanks for looking and have a great Friday!  Stacy

Here’s the card I made for last weeks Little Red Wagon  sketch challenge 32.  I had fun with this sketch and will definitely use it again.

Good Afternoon.  I have been updating all morning, trying to get caught up with all my posts.  Make sure that you scroll all the way down as I have put several new posts up today.  Unfortunately I put the most current at the bottom…wasn’t thinking about that as I was posting.  I’ve also added some photos to my SCS gallery: Poopsie and I just created an album on PTI’s forum: Stacy’s creations using PTI products.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the day.  The boys and I are going to go for a walk and make new library bags…hopefully I can post those later.

So a few weeks ago we celebrated the boys’ birthdays together with all the family.  It’s hard to believe Gaven is 3 and Tanner is 6…where does the time go?On tradition that my siblings and I had growing up was that our mom always made our birthday cakes.  I think my first store bought cake was in high school and it was a DQ frozen ice cream cake…need I say more.  Anyway, I have started the same tradition.  My boys have yet to have a store bought cake for their birthdays.  This year they wanted trains again.  We seem to to alternate between trains and dogs, Clifford in particular.  My oldest requested his daddy’s engine and my youngest asked for Thomas the Train.  So my mom and I got together and came up with these two cakes.  Sorry ladies, there’s no paper crafting or stamping involved with these, I just wanted to share them with you all :)  First up is Thomas the Train.

Here is our take at my husbands engine, obviously changing the wording and engine number.

Our librarian decided to retire this year.  Here is a little card and matching book mark I made for her.  She had commented towards the end of the year that she was looking forward to reading “big kid” books.  That is what gave me the idea to make her a book mark and then when I was on Project Tuesday, that was also their challenge for this last week.  I love this striped paper from the Paper Studio.  I have been to Hobby Lobby several times to pick more of it up.  It’s so cheery don’t you think.

Supplies: Colorbox chalk lime green ink, StazOn jet black ink, PTI Mega Mixed Messages (Happy Retirement), BoBunny Sophie clearly stamps (flowers), Spellbinders Nestablilties labels four, ribbon from the Paper Studio, staple, white cs, printed paper-the Paper Studio bold multi stripe

Today was our last day of school. I have so much I want to get done, I don’t know where to start. I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since March. I have lots of projects to share with you. I’ve had baby showers, birthdays, graduations and the end of the school year. It’s been pretty busy around here. I am sharing a little treat bag I gave to the office staff today. I used white cs, Stazon jet black and mustard ink. I picked up this sun set at R Scrapbook Store and I’m so glad I did (I almost didn’t!).  It’s called sunny by We R Memory Keepers.  The sentiment is studio g. The baggie is filled with Mike and Ikes. Thanks for looking, keep stopping in because I’m hoping to keep updating my blog until I’m caught up. And then I will start new projects

Here are some cards I made for others.  The first card and envelope was a set I made for my sister.  They were having all their friends over for a Christmas Party and she asked if I would make her some invitations.  The sentiment on the card and envelope are Studio G. She picked the set up at Archiever’s in the Mall Of America when they were there.  The ornament is TCP Studio and the punch is Martha Stewart.  I loved how these turned out.  The Joy To The World card was the hardest card I have made…not for technique or anything but because of the design.  My sister’s friend asked her to ask me if I would make her a set of religious Christmas cards.   I have never done a religious them before and have very few stamps that would fit that.  It took me forever to get my creative juices going on this set and I still am not a fan of it because I was out of my element in creating it.  I hope it was what she wanted.  I hand stamped the cardstock with silver ink and the snowflake from BoBunny.  The sentiment is Great Impressions.  I apologize about the icky pictures.  As I explained in the entry below, my camera settings were switched to low resolution and I didn’t realize it until I had taken most of the pictures I am uploading

I made these little pick me up’s for some co-workers.  The first one was a Breast Cancer goodie bag for a teacher that is a survivor.  She always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude.

All images are from Technique Tuesdays Celebrate Life set.  I stamped the ribbon on each page of the post it note pad.  The Hershey nuggets are wrapped in a stamped label.  The bag was a challenge I believe from Stamps and Smiles project Tuesday challenge (a few months ago).  I put all these inside the bag that’s pictured below.  I used Stazon jet back ink and Colorbox chalk rouge.

This was for a teacher who was feeling under the weather.  I stamped the 3×3 envelope in Colorbox chalk rouge with a stamp from the Scrappy Cat alpha antique monogram set.  I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s On my Couch set in Stazon jet black.  Then I put a couple of tea bags inside it.
