Post for Top Dog Dies!

The detail of the Dies are amazing!  

Check out the piercing!

I have been having a great summer with family.

Keeping Memories documented in a fun way is something that 

I love to do as well as making cards.

Journal cards for Simple Stories Albums, Project Life, or

Smash books are a fun and easy way to embellish a cherished

photo for your keepsaking.

I have printed a few photos from the last few weeks 

and paired them with some really fun papers and Top Dog Dies.

I used some Trendy Simple Stories Journal Cards

and some Doggie related vinyl stickers and also my Memory Box Hello Die.

Time to be Joyful - Festive Friday!

It has been awhile,

Guesting on CAS(E) This Sketch!

WOW... I am so overjoyed to join this 

maga hit challenge 

as along with you,

 I ADORE the designers creations and their 

wonderful sketches each week!

For this challenge I reversed up the sketch a little.

I can't help I am partial to black......not everyone is

and that is okay too.

Supplies:

SU! Corner Garden

Judikins Embossing Clear Detail

And with what I see as the negative space, 

I filled it in with the SU! Corner Garden

stamp embossed in clear.

Add the

Black Top Dog Dies Birds and Nest Die

and the Clearly Besotted Sentiment

and I love the soft and black together.....

Magnificent MUSE!

Have you seen this weeks MUSE?

Bobby 

of 

Bits and Pieces

takes it to a whole new level!!!!

Just Magnificent!!!

Now you don't have to take this challenge to 

Embossing Paste level, 

but I do hope that you are inspired to join in 

and have some fun!!!

Use any colors you like, pastels if dark tones are not your

cup of tea, I can't wait to see what you do!

Also....this is a WEEKLY PNW Crafters Challenge.

I challenge any one of the PNW Crafters Group to

also play the MUSE Challenge!

Let's see what you got!

Momenta Stencil

WPlus 9 Circle Die

SU! Sentiment Yippee Skippee Set

Pickled Raspberry Distress Ink and Marker

Dreamweavers Embossing Paste

Momento Paris Dusk Ink

I used a bamboo stencil from the Momenta Love Peace Longevity Set

and used Dreamwaever Stencils Embossing Paste.

Once dry I used a Wplus 9 Circle Die on Neenah white paper with

 The Stampin Up Sentiment 

from the Yippeeee-Skippeee Set. 

 I used Memento Paris Dusk (masking off the top portion of the setniment with Washi tape) 

and then used Raspberry distress ink to color the Awesome and then stamped.

I ran the circle edge on the Paris Dusk ink to give a dark edge to the circle and then using

double sided foam popped up the panel and the circle sentiement

I sponged some pickled raspberry distress ink lightly on the leaves and then

used the distress marke to come in for some darker areas.

Here is Bobby's Wonderful Inspiration Card!

CASology - #110: Letter!

I ADORE CASology, the DT

and all of you players!!!

Love seeing what you come up with every week.

The week the CUE is LETTER!

This past weekend I got together with some PNW

crafting pals Amy Tsuruta and Kathryn Lorenzini

and I made elements of this card..

I chatted so much I had to assemble it later at home..

Right now I should be enjoying the Pacific Northwest Summer Weather in Port Townsend

This is our anniversary week and a tradition is to 

spend 3 - 4 days enjoying the

harbor town.  

Many things to do there if you stay!

Sweet mail.... I LOVE  Happy Mail!

I used Tim Holtz distress inks on a panel of Kromecote paper, 

stamped the exclusive July 2014 Simon Says Stamp Kit "Sending Happy Mail"

envelopes and cut and popped then up on foam.

The mini hearts are from the Mama Elephant XOXO set.

I used copics to add interest over the op of the letters.

I sure hope that you are INSPIRED to join along!
