Hi guys~The third quarter of Stamping, Stationery and Scrapbooking  (Hobby Lobby Magazine) is out so that means I can show you the second quarter magazine.  I had one layout in this magazine and it is really cute!!!  The photos just say it all~

 All of the supplies I used on this layout I purchased at Hobby Lobby.  Some of the manufactures are Paper Studio, 7gypsies, American Crafts and Making Memories. The black border is made using a punch by EK Success.

Dictionary stamping and a card~

 Hi guys~ just a quick post to share with you a very "lovely" stamp.  It is by Jenni Bowlin Studio and I think about a couple of years old, doesn't matter to me:):) This is one of my favorite images, so sweet.   I love the way it looks on the vintage dictionary page. 

 

Here is the same image stamped on white cardstock and cut out.  Other supplies used are : kraft cardstock, Epiphany Crafts square shape,  Jenni Bowlin Studio, twine and red ink mist.  The label is a stamp by Jenni Bowlin Studio.  The x's are by Darkroom Door. Love that stamp, looks like stitches to me.

Film Frame Stamp by Darkroom Door~

 

Hi everyone~introducing a very fun stamp to work with.  The Film Frame Stamp, fast becoming a fave for me.  I stamped it three times to make the film strip, that is showing in the layout below.  I stapled the ends together, to get one continuous film strip.

 

I also used other Darkroom Door Stamps on this project.  They are Everyday Life, Vintage Office and Photography.  I love how the stamps work together.  

 

A close-up of the film strip ~looks real, right!!  For more inspiration on this super cool film strip stamp visit the Darkroom Door Creative Blog !! You won't be dissappointed:):)

Try It Tuesday~remember this child's shoe form.

Hi everyone, it's that time again~ remember this photo from a few weeks ago~

 

 

It is a size 3 children's shoe form~I thought it would make a sweet photo stand.  It is kinda of rough but I love the primitive look to it.  

 

The first thing I did was form my wire.  You can wrap it around something small and round or just start twisting, like I do:):):) 

 When I get it shaped and test it to make sure it is tight and will hold photo's, I hot glue it in the metal hole on the top of the shoe form.  I hold it in place by threading the wire through a button and then glue to the shoe form.

After that all you do is decorate it.  I have about 7 of these type photo stands and at Christmas I'm going to line them up on the mantle with the grands pictures.  Each photo stand is unique just like my sweet grands!!

I used Maya Road, May Arts, Jenni Bowlin, Darkroom Door and Prima. 

 

If you have any questions, just ask away~

See ya soon~

Shadow 6 up Frame Stamp by Darkroom Door!!

 

Hi everyone~ I have been having a blast creating with  one of the new stamps by Darkroom Door. 

 

It is the Shadow 6 Up Frame Stamp and  is a wonderful compliment to other Darkroom Door stamps.  I stamped the French Script background stamp over the 6 UP Frame stamp.   I reversed the inks on both cards, using the green/ blue comb.

 

I also used some Australia postage stamps  (hmm, wonder where I got those at) :):), some large buttons and one of the word strips for the sentiment. This rubber stamp has become a favorite!

Junkin' on the internet~

 

Hi guys~I've been junkin' on the internet:):) .  I found this site that has the coolest junk and coolest prices:):)  It is a site for dealer's so you have to spend at least $25 ~  no problem!!!   I bought these for my grandson. He collects them, but they sure would make a colorful wind chime. 

 

I'm a sucker for milk caps, I'll admit it.  I have lots but not any like these.

I love the orange and green, orange and yellow, well all of the colors!!  I keep thinkin' these would be really cool sewed together to make a garland for a Christmas tree.  Just wonder if the needle would go through the milk cap?  hmmmm~ Because I have so many the first three peeps that email me with their addy, I'll send you some.

And flat keys, I can't pass them up.  They are the perfect size for scrapbooking or altered art projects. These were a dollar. The site is HERE

Have a great weekend and I'll see ya soon~

JBS May Artisan Kit with Louise Nelson!

 

Hi guys~ This is a layout I did using the JBS May Artisan Kit.  I have to admit I bought it for the Louise Nelson hand carved feather stamp ( she sales these on her blog).  I just checked and the kit is sold out but there is always cool stuff in the JBS Mercantile.

 

The paper is My Mind's Eye  and Fancy Pants. I used the Dylusions Ink Sprays to add some color to the white chipboard.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see ya soon~
