Seriously..  Playing with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Glaze is fun. Sprayin' stuff and drippin' stuff brings out the artist in me.. My 8 year-old son, Phoenix LOVES Tattered Angels and he actually did the background of this first card:

1. Cut out a rectangle from the centre of some scrap cardstock and adhere it to the white cardstock with temporary adhesive. 
2. Spray to your hearts content. 
3. Let the mist dry and remove the template. 
4. Cut the butterfly out and adhere to the card with dimensional adhesive. I used Helmar Scrap-dots. 

1. Cut the kraft paper to size. 
2. Spray one half of the cardstock with purple and one half with orange. Set aside and let dry. 
3. Punch out sentiment and rim with webbed ribbon. 

1. Cut kraft cardstock to size. 
2. Drip green and purple glimmer glaze randomly on cardstock and allow it to dry. Once it's completely dry it will act as a resist to the glimmer mist. 
3. Mist purple and green glimmer mist all over the card and allow it to dry completely. 
4. Adhere ribbon and sentiment. 

And don't you just love it?? I really am loving that people are decorating for Hallowe'en. It's becoming more adult oriented, and I love it. I am going to give out Hallowe'en cards this year, even if it's just because I love making them and I'll probably have a pretty hefty stash by the time Oct. 31st rolls around.. Anyway, I used a brand new printable stamp set from The Cutting Cafe called "Hallowe'en Time" and used some Tattered Angels mist to spook it up a little.


Cool eh? Thanks for stopping by!!

hmmm.. that spelling doesn't look right, but whatever, I'm still on summer vacation!!! I have a 3 weeks left before my whole family goes back to school (my hubby and I are teachers and my son is going into grade 4!) and I suppose it's time to think about back-to-school gifts, cards and layouts.. That's the easy part..

I made a sweet little duo using Quick Cards: Teacher:

1.  Cut out the shape from this Cutting Cafe file (All About School). 
2. Grabbed a 5x5 card base from my stash and traced the apple shape onto it.
3. Cut out the shape, and glue the lined apple shape to the card base. 
4. Done!

My "job" with SRM Stickers is to feature cards, primarily, but when I'm scrapbooking (and I'm REALLY trying to do it more) they are so handy to throw onto a layout..

Here's my darling little girl, my sweet baby, my precious beauty:


Yah, that's right! My dog, Kitara. I really do love her SO much, and I have all of these awesome GIRL stickers, so why not use them for my dog layouts????? The sticker set is called "Everyday Girl" and there are tonnes of words and phrases to use on cards or layouts...

I used a couple of stickers from sticker sentiments "Love" as well as some random products.. (October Afternoon papers, OLD prima flower, OLD clear letters and heart shape...)

Email me, or comment on this post with your email, and I'll send you that set so you can get started digi-stamping right away!!

I've been admiring some library card stamps lately and man was I thrilled that The Cutting Cafe came out with some in a variety of colours! Just open the PDF and print! Or, to do what I did: open the PDF in Photoshop, adjust the size and then print.

I printed the library card out on kraft cardstock, then stamped "Dad" with a couple letters from a Papertrey Ink alphabet set. My dear ol' Dad is turning 60 in a few days. My present for him is my talents as a chef and I will be "catering" his party. I cooked for his retirement party last year and all of his friends loved my food, so I hope to wow them again.. anyway..

Here's the card. I played along with today's Sketch Challenge at Splitcoaststampers..

With the sad news about Jacksonbelle Embellishments closing I thought I would have room in my life for another DT, so I applied for The Cutting Cafe DT and was selected! I have been playing a lot with my Silhouette a lot lately, and The Cutting Cafe has a lot of cool cuts and shaped cards. The prices are great too!
