Tooting my own horn.

I hope you don't mind if I toot my own horn here. My card was used for one of the banners for All That Scraps! I am so giddy and just wanted to share. If you want to see it in real life head on over to the front page of All That Scraps or for today only at SCS. I never dreamed this would happen to me!

Here is another card using Olivia and her Birdies. How cute are they? I used sahara sand for this gate fold card. The left flap was done with my cuttlbug folder and the right side is SU dp. (retired I think) I used my nestabilities to cut out the focal image. The back scalloped piece is vellum sponged with chocolate chip. I colored this with my copics and airbrushed the background. The splatter was done with my color spritzer tool from SU. The swirl is from SU Priceless. Wide chocolate chip ribbon is retired SU. These sets are available at All That Scraps now! Head on over and order yours. We had so much fun at the party last night!

Today is the day! The All That Scraps release is tonight at 10 pm EST. There will be a release party at 8 pm so head on over there tonight and have some fun with us! I am sorry I didn't get back here to give more details. Life got in the way. There is a tutorial for the bag here on Cami's blog. It is so easy and if you have a scor-pal even easier! Information on the paper I used on the bag got lost. It is W R Memory Keepers. I think it is the Precious Metal line. Sorry I can't be more specific. I only had one sheet and it seems I accidently got rid of the strip with the information. The image I cut out with my long rectangle nestability die. I used my creat-a-cut (not available any more) to do the scallop edge on the border on the bottom and paper pierced it as well. The flowers were stamped on the strip and colored with copics.

The double pocket card was also easy peasy with the scor-pal. You can find instructions for it here at SCS. I used SU ginger blossom paper for mine. I paper pieced her shirt. All the coloring is done with copic markers. I paper pierced on the scallop edge and the piece behind Olivia. The round piece is SU hodgepodge hardware and the ribbon is SU as well.

Meet Olivia and her birdies! How cute is she? I am going to come back later today and give you the details. I gotta go pick rasberries! Yummy! Check back later if you have any questions just leave a comment. Enjoy!

It's finally here!

So what do you think? Isn't this set just the cutest ever! I have been bursting at the seams to show these to you. These stamps are from the new Itzie Inkies set Bear Hugs. If you look closely at the bear card you will also find some other new stamps from one of the other sets. Scenery get out of here! Copic markers were used to color both of these. Can I just tell you how great those markers are? I used my Y21 copic to color the SU white gross grain ribbon to match the cool caribbean card. I also used my sakura gelly roll glitter pen on the bee's wings. Click on one of the pics for a close up! How cute is that? The bee's heads were stamped twice and popped up to give them some depth.

The bear card has to be my favorite card to date. I had so much fun creating this for the button challenge last week! When the dates for release got moved back I couldn't show you. I was bummed, but here you are and I hope it was worth the wait. I decided I couldn't live without the copic airbrush system and I have used it both on the bee card and on the bear card. The bee's were just sprayed lots lighter. I used wire to do the stem for the bears flower. The heart bg stamp was used to do the cute background for the bear using chocolate chip craft and clear embossing powder. There are tiny buttons on the bears tummy and a couple of the flowers. I purchased these from a fabric store forever ago and finally used them. The ribbon is SU chocolate chip taffetta. Head on over to All That Scraps blog to see some more samples. Cute stuff! Check back tomorrow for some more fun stuff to tickle your taste buds and make you drool!

Maybe you would enjoy seeing a couple of pics of the sweet babe again! He is so much fun! He is growing so fast. I can't believe he is over 10 lbs already. I have to upload some pics and then I will show you a newer one. Enjoy!

Sorry for the lack of updates. All That Scraps experienced it's move last week and then they ran out of foam for the release. The release has been changed. The sneaks will start on August 7th now with the release party being on the 11th. Christine just wanted to have all the stuff in her hands before so she can ship those stamps right out to you! It will be worth the wait believe me! The Wednesday challenge was still done this week, but alas I used a new release stamp to do the challenge. My Granddaughter celebrated her third birthday and I didn't have time to do another to replace it.

So today is humpday for my son! He has served for one year today on his mission in Brazil! I am so proud of him! He has one year left and he is loving his work. He has had his frustrations, but has learned and grown from them all. You can check out his letters home here at Elder Jacob Rapp. Have a great day and enjoy the possibilities!
