Featured Artist

Today's project was my attempt at the vintage look. I combined the Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper and Fabric, the Vintage Flower Adornments, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls, and the new Mother of Mine Stamp.

I sponged some of the edges with Always Artichoke ink, crinkled up other edges, and unraveled the fabric edges to try and give it that aged look. The fabric was adhered using the Anywhere Glue Stick.

A big Thank You to Mary Fish for the opportunity to be her featured artist today on her blog!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed today's project. Would love to hear what you think is key to the vintage look. Leave me a comment before you leave!

God Bless,

Happy Mother's Day!

For those of you whose children participated in last Sunday's Take Time For Mom event I wanted to share some pictures of the effort and fun that went into your gift. For those whose children weren't there, I hope you can just enjoy my Mother's Day tribute.

What do you do with 17 young people on a Sunday afternoon??

Make a scrapbook page for mom, of course!

They look so mature and grown up...but wait!

You look like a pro at this! Uh, can you just do my page too?

This is more fun than football!

Did you see that?? They tied Mrs Stewart up with double-sided tape!

I still have 5 fingers!

I've got my eye on you and have a pointy object too so, watch out!

Did you just put this in your ear??

I may be little but, really I'm a "Big Shot"

To come up with this shape you take the cosine of x and multiply it by a Lagrange polynomial. Got it?!

If I squeeze a little harder I might be able to make this flower "explode"!

OK, I taped my fingers together, now what do I do?

It's all in the wrist. That's what the little girl told me.

Ummmmmmmm. Did you see what I just did?

I put my hair in the Crimper and look what happened!!

By night I am mild manored but, by day I'm a crazed scrapbooker! With glue stick and ribbon I can rule the world!!!!!

After a long day of scrapbooking, there is nothing more relaxing than a good video game!

Snack is the best part of any scrapbooking event!

Happy Mother's Day!

I so enjoyed all of your children! Whatever their experience with scrapbooking or their interest with scrapbooking, they gave 100% knowing that it was for you, their mom! I hope you are feelin' the love! Can't wait till Father's Day!

God Bless,

April Pals Hop ~ Happy Mother's Day!

To all the women who find themselves in the position of nurturing and mothering others, the April Pals Hop is for you!

If you've hopped over from Sumaiyah's, Stampin' Dymonz website, I'm hop number 8 on the April Pals Hop and I'm thrilled you stopped by! I hope you enjoy the entire Pals Hop and make your way all the way around! This group of Stampin'Up! Demonstrators, the Stampin' Pretty Pals, has put together some wonderful Mother's Day projects to spark your creativity. Should you become lost along the way you can access the entire lineup here!

I don't own a Mother's Day stamp set. Instead this set shouted "use me" for Mother's Day! I love his outfit and the way he balances "MOM" on his tray. He will definitely make his mom proud!

My recipe begins with a base card of Textured Melon Mambo(#115538) spiced up with Welcome Neighbor Designer paper (Sale-a-bration) a top a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock(#100459). The chef, from the Voila stamp set(#115102), was inked with Stazon Black ink(#101406) onto Whisper White(#100730) and 2 pieces of Welcome Neighbor Designer paper(Sale-a-bration). I then cut the pieces out using my Paper Snips(#103579) and adhered them on top of the Whisper White piece. (It was like cutting paper dolls)

The hearts and sentiment are from the Love You Much stamp set(113756), inked with Melon Mambo ink(#115656), and punched out with the coordinating 1/1/4" Circle punch(#104403) and Heart to Heart punch(#113694). The sentiment at the bottom shines with Crystal Effects (#101055) generously applied to the heart and allowed to dry (I gave it about 20 min to dry).

The final touch was "MOM" cut from Brushed Gold card stock(#102935) using the Big Shot(#113439) and the Stampin'Up! Billboard Decorative Strip(#114510) and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals(#104430).

Voila and Happy Mother's Day!!

This tin is for my mom this Mother's Day. She has many birthdays to celebrate and cards to send in a year and can now keep them organized in this cute lunch tin. Inside it is divided into family sections with a place to list each person and their birth date on the dividers.

For this project, I pulled out my Big Shot, Dies, texture plates, and Decor Element sheets and went to town. I love being able to make my own Decor Elements. The Big Shot cuts easily and the designs go on quickly. Each element on the tin is one of the dies we sell (see recipe below).

I found that the the textured dies worked just as well as the regular dies.

Dividers for card tin.

Well that's it for me! I hope my projects helped you get your creative juices flowing for Mother's Day! More inspiring ideas await you at Jason' Stampin' Pad, stop number 9 on the April Pals Hop! Hop on over and see what Jason has in store for you and thanks for "hopping" by!

And, before you "hop on", please leave a comment. I'd love to your thoughts on today's projects!
