More Tile!


I just love stamping on Tile. This set of tiles was inspired by a sign at Broken Branch KOA Campground up in North Woodstock, NH.
My husband and I camp there with our daughter quite frequently, and they purchased a new sign last year.
First, I created the sky and ground and baked that in the oven. Next I stamped the bear (also in craft ink), touched it up with a paint brush and rebaked it in the oven. Thanks for visiting.

Team Meeting Stamp Project

Tonight at my team meeting, we had a great time making these FUN, scrapbook pages for dad! These are the same as the previous chipboard wall art projects that I have been doing, but it seems like a great time of year for making things for dad.

I find that the tombo multipurpose adhesive works EXCELLENT for adhering paper to chipboard. So, do you think my husband will like this set, when i put a photo of Alexis on there? Let me know what you think about this chipboard gift set and you could win a prize!
Thanks so much for visiting.

How Cute Is This?


I just love open stamp night at my place! This week my friends Deb and Tammy came by. Deb was busy dying our natural albums to match her gift book for a friend, while Tammy surprised us with an AWESOME CARD!


How simple and sweet is this!?!

Something Special For Dad


Looking for something special for Dad? This is a terrific way to show the guy in your life how special he is!


First, I got my daughter in beside the sink and got her all messy with craft ink. We used her hands like human stamps and captured her handprint. Last year, I did something similar with tiles and ceramic paint, but this is much nicer!


When the image was on the paper, I hit it with the heat gun quickly to make sure it was dry, then put a good thick coat of crystal effects on top. My daughter's handprint will be forever caught in crystal. =)


This DSP is my husband's favorite (he loves the color) so I thought it would make something nice for his office for Father's Day.

Interested in making your own? This is a piece of cake! Just call me to schedule your private appointment! Each one will be slightly different and a one of a kind work of art ~ just like Dad!

Happy Memorial Day to you all.. Have a great weekend.

Chip Board Tips.


One of the biggest chipboard questions I get from clients and friends is what to do with it!
Well, you can color it (with craft ink) then, stamp on it, add glitter, punch holes in it, run ribbon through. You can cover it with paper, embellish away! This is probably THE most versitile accessory that Stampin' Up! carries!
This image is a card that we did last night for the Techique Junkies Club. Chipboard is SO much fun, and is quickly becoming my favorite new accessory.
In this case, we used a sponge dauber to apply real red craft ink, then embossed it with clear embossing powder. That's not all! Rub-on's quickly and easily layer right on top of just about any surface, so after we had the shiny surface, we rubbed on a star!
We finished it by punching a coordinating paper star and sticking it on with a glue dot. I love the east coast prep paper.. You could put almost anything with this and it would look fabulous.
The layout inspiration for this card came from split coast stampers sketch challenge SC176. For more information, CLICK HERE.
