Thanks a Button...

I have to admit that I'm a little stressed out this week. There just seems to be so much to do and so little time in which to do it. So, I thought I'd relax by making a simple card. I was inspired by the fab colors over at Our Creative Corner (even by their challenge image!) and by the CAS button challenge debuting today at the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. I thought I'd try my hand at making a card that was both chic and modern. If only life were this simple!

I don't post very many scrapbook pages, but I wanted to put this one up in honor of my little rugrat's first complete week of pre-school. I'm still a little shell-shocked at how quickly he is growing up, and, when I saw this challenge from The Studio Challenge, to scrapbook a perfect day that hasn't happened yet, I couldn't resist. 

For my page, I was inspired by these photos of my little man playing his "guitar." I love how he rocks out, and I wanted the pics to be the star of the show. To me, the perfect day is any in which my little boy is as happy and delighted with life as he was the day I took these pictures. I know life is going to get harder and harder as he grows up, and I hope that he can hold on to as much of his joy as he can.

I knew right away that one of my favorite Taylored Expressions sets, You're My Hero, would be just perfect for a page featuring my 'lil rock star.

2. Adhere gemstones.

My little boy loves the book, The Wizard of Oz. I have to admit that, when I was a girl, I was afraid of the movie -- I mean, who wouldn't be frightened of flying monkeys? This week's 2 Sketches 4 You Sketch Challenge had us playing with some very fun repositionable stickers, and when I saw how adorable they were, any fears I had went right out the window!

This week's sketch is from the ever fabulous Kazan, and I flipped it to create an "emerald" stage. I love the decorative edge of the sketch and I made that the top of card. Now I'm off to, what else? See the Wizard, perhaps?

This has been a doozy of a week. My son started pre-school (without me!), I had to attend a black-tie event (in a hot pink dress), and I finally got to share my big, fun news. The inimitable Nicki Jackson of Clear & Simple Stamps invited me to join her incredible talented and creative Design Team and I'm still giggling with glee. CSS is on the cutting edge of the paper-crafting world and they are known for their chic and fashion-conscious images, as well as their one-of-a-kind iPhone/iPad App. I am thrilled and delighted to be a part of such a wonderful group of amazing designers and I hope you will visit their blogs (see my sidebar) for tons of inspiration.

Nicki was one of the very first to recognize my love of card-making and I wanted to make a card to show how much I appreciate her confidence in my abilities. To thank Nicki and the entire Clear & Simple Stamps family, I thought it only appropriate to use one of their fabulous stamps from a limited edition set called, simply: Thank You. For this card, I was inspired by a trio of challenges: the amazing colors from the Play Date Cafe Challenge, this week's mojolicious Mojo Monday Sketch, and the irresistible Off-Set Scallop Challenge over at Moxie Fab World! So, "thank you, thank you, thank you" from the bottom of my little paper-crafting heart. I hope you will join me in the coming months on my CSS adventure!

Forever and Always...

Earlier this week, I made a card for a pair of newlyweds. Today, I thought I'd celebrate an anniversary, and one in particular. My son's great-grandparents will have been married for more than 60 years this month, which is a wonderful love story in it of itself. I can only hope that my own marriage will last as long and with as much love and respect as theirs. 

To get me started, I used this week's terrific sketch from the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. I also thought this would be the perfect chance to play with my new Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients. The papers are so pretty and I thought I'd let them do the work for me today in wishing Rachel and John a very happy anniversary, forever and always!

SPILLING THE BEANS

1. Make card from card stock.
2. Trim patterned paper; round edges.
3. Trim horizontal element and mat. Add rub-on sentiment and adhere.

Hey there! If you've just tuned in, today is day two of the Perfect pair Blog Hop featuring Clear & Simple Stamps and Creative Cuts & More. I'm extra, extra, extra excited because I also get to let slip a big secret I've been keeping!
Beginning today, I will have the extreme honor of joining the Clear & Simple Stamps Design Team! Lucky, lucky me, and I am so thrilled to be joining such an amazing team of talented paper-crafters. You'll be hearing much more about this in the weeks to come!
We've got some fabulous projects to inspire you, each showcasing how wonderfully well stamps and die-cuts go together. Plus, one lucky commenter will win a $25 gift certificate to Clear and Simple Stamps and another will win a gift certificate to Creative Cuts & More! To be eligible, please leave a comment on each blog, as winners will be drawn from all comments made by Friday, September 24.

If you've hopped over from the lovely and talented Lila's blog, be sure to visit the full line-up, which begins at the Die Cut Diva blog!

For my hop project, I used the super-cute Popcorn Extras set from Clear & Simple Stamps and paired it with, what else? The adorable popcorn box and pop-up card from CC&M!

I began with the popcorn box (which arrives plain and in the color and texture of your choosing) and stamped all four sides multiple times with the fun popcorn image, then colored all of it in with a white souffle marker. Next, I border punched some trim for the top and cut out just one fluffy piece of popcorn to "pop" out beneath my sentiment element. After a quick assembly, I had a cute treats box just waiting to be filled with some yummy goodness!

Next, I created a card to coordinate with my box, using a very fun "pop-up" card die-cut. I decorated the front by stamping popcorn to match my box background, again using the same border punch. That cute little filmstrip is another CC&M die-cut, to which I added a piece of the fluffy good stuff. After stamping the sentiment, I turned to the inside of the card.

The idea of popcorn actually popping was one I thought I'd try to simulate. After covering the inside of the card with patterned paper, I drew a little popcorn box and filled it with stamped popcorn. Then, after cutting out several individual kernels, I attached them with strips of clear acetate. Fun, yes? I love the birthday sentiment and thought it would make my box and card ensemble the perfect celebratory gift with its own little "surprise!"

BEAN NOTES

• Stamps: Popcorn Extras (Clear & Simple Stamps)
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Dye (Tsukineko)

**If you are looking for my TE Blast from the Past Blog Hop post, please click HERE! Be sure to check out the cool TE SALE going on right now at the end of the post.**

I am afraid that I am guilty of buying tools and supplies and then never using them, and I am desperately trying to break myself of that habit. My husband got me a wonderful Cricut for my birthday, and I so rarely use it that I made myself a promise that the next project I made would incorporate this cool tool. Lucky for me, this week's JustRite Friday Challenge: Color! had me thinking of a little way to thank hubby for being so nice to me.
For my project, I decided to make a heart basket to fill with some sweet treats and used the lovely challenge colors as a starting point. The twist this week was to make and use a handmade embellishment, and I decided to go all out with some felt rosebuds (you know I love those!) and I found the perfect sentiment to express what I was feeling. Here are the details!

SPILLING THE BEANS

1. Die-cut heart basket with Cricut from card stock.
2. Die-cut rosebuds from felt and assemble (not: one die will yield 3-4 rosebuds). Adhere with sticky tape.
3. Thread ribbon into basket. Tie bow.
4. Stamp sentiment. Die-cut and apply liquid dimensionals. Adhere with glue.

BEAN NOTES

• Stamps: Friendship Set (JustRite Stampers)

Today is the Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop, and I have a fun baby gift set to share.

For the Newlyweds...

After some freak storms yesterday, I felt like creating something sunny and happy. The fun sketch over at Everything But the Kitchen Sink is one that leaves a lot up to interpretation, and so here is mine! For this card for a pair of sweet newlyweds, I began with an image from one of my favorite Taylored Expressions sets, Wings of Joy. It's a Christmas set, but with a little tweaking, it was perfect for a wedding card.
I'm going to try out something a bit new today. We are all pressed for time, so I thought I'd include details on this card in a new format, called "Spilling the Beans." I'd love to know if you prefer my usual narrative or if you like this new list format, so please leave me a comment telling me what you think. You are the reason TSB exists, so your opinion matters!

2. Trim patterned paper and mat with cardstock; border punch and adhere card stock, tie ribbon, and adhere.

Christmas is Just Around the Corner...

to view an image up-close, please click on the photo

With the California-like weather we are experiencing in New York, it is hard to imagine Christmas coming soon, but it will be here before we know it. I thought I should get a good head start on my gift giving this year and this week's Friday Challenge: Christmas in September seemed to prove me right! I thought I'd change things up a bit and make something other than a card, and the Moxie Fab World All Wrapped Up Challenge was the perfect excuse to make a gift bag.

I began with this wonderful image of Santa Claus, which was originally just his face. I have always loved the story of how the big guy squeezes himself down chimneys and decided to draw in the rest of him doing just that, popping the original image out over for some dimension after coloring in with Copics. Next, I framed him with this pretty holly border, coloring in and accenting everything with some glitter and metallic pens. I matted some nice Kiwi Kiss patterned paper (it's old enough that, I'm sorry to say, I have no idea from where it came from!) along with a Purely Pomegranate punched border. I added a nice satin bow, complete with button, from which I hung a Christmas tag: I hope we are ALL blessed his holiday season, which is really just around the corner!

BEAN NOTES

• Stamps: Old Fashioned Christmas, Christmas Nested Frames & Occasions, and From Our House (Just Rite)
• Ink: Ripe Avocado Hybrid (Papertrey Ink) and Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)

A crafty and talented friend of mine, Nina Dee, is hosting a fun butterfly button challenge and I wanted to give it a whirl. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch, which was just perfect for what I had in mind.  I began with cutting out just the wings of the butterfly from a piece of vellum to pop them up, lined them with some sweet little buttons, and then tied some pretty ribbon along the side. Next, I cut strips of some fun patterned paper and adhered them onto Marina Mist. Then, I stamped a nice sentiment on a strip of card stock (plus a few pearls) and I was all done with a sweet little card to tell someone "thanks!"

BEAN NOTES

• Stamps: Big & Bold Wishes (Papertrey Ink)
• Ink: Marina Mist Classic Dye (Stampin' Up!)
• Cardstock: Marina Mist, Soft Sky, and Whisper White (SU!)

After a lovely weekend, it's time to get back into the swing of things. What better way than with a new 2 Sketches 4 You sketch from the superbly talented Ms. Kazan? For this week's sketch, the Design Team got to work with some deliciously wonderful stamps and we hope you will join us and play along!

I began by rotating the sketch sideways and stamping just a portion of this elegant rose image in three different shades of pink. To achieve the lightest shade, I actually stamped the medium shade once on scratch paper and then again on my card stock panel. Next, I stamped the simple sentiment in Crumb Cake directly over the roses and matted the panel in match card stock, ticket punching the corners. I then created the ribbon treatment by pleating some pretty taffeta ribbon. A line of delicate pearl accents completed my card, and I took it as a good sign that this week will be pleasant!

BEAN NOTES

• Stamps: Backlit Blooms Rose and 'Thank You" (Starving Artistamps)
• Ink: Sweet Blush and Scarlet Jewel Hybrid Ink (Papertrey Ink); Crumb Cake Classic Dye
• Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and Blushing Bride Card Stock (SU!)
