Love Boat

Hey there Sailors, I am back.
I have been sick for almost a week and finally feel better. I even have my voice back.{ARRGhh!}
I am very excited about this card. It is inspired by the movie the TITANIC!
The Cinema Saturday Challenge was to use silver and blue on our Titanic theme card.
I also used the sketch #45 from 2 Sketch 4 you as well as the Pile it on challenge for No Winter Colors!
Her she Blows:

Happy Krafting!

Bookmarks for all!

The gang and I are all reading the Lightning thief as we wait for the movie to come out.

With 4 people reading 1 book I thought we needed some personalized bookmark to keep track of our pages. The first is inspired by the color challenge over at the Diva Coffee Break Designs.

This one is for theColour Q.-17

I an not totally in love with how it looks but is is good at keeping track of pages. {LOL}

The last one I made is inprired by Gabby and Anya

{I' m using my Edward bookmark, So I didn't make myself one.}

Happy Krafting!

Many thanks {cards}

Well I took a few days off from the nook to do a few mommy type things. I mostly was a nurse to the kids that got the flue over the week-end and them having a turn after. When I had the flu I rested and finished a book. My husband was able to take the kids out for the day, since it was on the week-end. That gave me lots quiet witch is rare whn you have 4 healthy children!
I did have an order for a 10 thank you card to do as well.

Happy Krafting!

Shaz Vs. the glitter {bom bom bah}

I love the way glitter looks on a card but I never seen to get it right...

This is a card I made with Heather's Recipe over at the club Anya site for the Cinema Saturday "Finding Nemo" challenge with this week's Mojo 109 sketch. {phew}

I had the glitter all lined up teal on teal and orange on orange but somehow... somehow it got messed around. Not that it looks too bad, but I never win with glitter.

Any hooo!

The Finding Nemo Creative prompt was a color prompt and I just loved the colors! I love teal and Aqua the are just my fav! It also suggested that we use a quote from the movie so after much google-ing I chose the quote" good feeling gone". I liked this quote, it is so funny, when Dory is all happy and the it switches off..."good feeling gone." It is a great movie!

If you have not seen it Watch it....

You will laugh.

smiles & bloopers

I have smiled so many times since I joined the GreetingFarm gallery!

The artists on the farm are so talented and encouraging I have love browsing the card they make. It is my new favorite gallery!

Today for the "FarmFreshFriday" challenge over at the GreetingFarm gallery. The challenge is to make a "no Fills" card. I must say it was tricky to refrain from ribbon and flowers. But I did it!

I made an easel card with this template. It is so simple. You can make three 4 X 4 inch card with a sheet one 12 X12 of card-stock. I also used the sketch from MojoMonday and the colors from ColorThowdown.

Now for my BLoopers!

Since I have had so many smiles from the comment here and at the GreetingFarm Gallery. I thought I would make you smile.

I will show you some great card bloopers!

This card was a scratch and sniff card that got licked by a 2 year old.

This card got edited by two 4 year olds!

This card was enhanced by a 5 year old stamper.

lol ... I love kids! they are so CREATIVE!.... lol

I hope you loved the bloopers. I am sure I will have more in the future.

Have a great week-end,

Shaz

LOST {season 4}

I finished watching Season 4 a couple of weeks ago and just had to make a Thank-you card again. But I wanted to make a little gift too! Every LOST fan has noticed that abundant DARMA INITIATIVE supplies that magically fall from the sky, right? So I thought a DARMA INITIATIVE item ... like a darma covered a Ranch Dressing bottle, would be cool.{lol} Then, I thought, the gift should last longer than a few lunches.

Notebooks are always handy. So, I covered a composition books and created a card that looks like a plane ticket. The notebook had to have a hint of drama. So it has the title DARMA INITIATIVE and a darma-like symbol decorating the front. I cut these great letters with my MM SLICE cutter. I sponged green, yellow and beige ink on the edges to make the book, look like it's been dragged through the jungle for three months.

The plane ticket has the bright paper pieced Oceanic Airline Symbol on the front of the folder. The inside holds a simple blank ticket on which I wrote my thank you note. I did not sponge the ticket or the folder. I thought the contrast of the two pieces looks sharp when I tied the leather sting around them.

Well, I am waiting for season 5 to come out on DVD. Then Season 6 of LOST will start in Jan 2010.

Only one Days left on my Giveaway!

Shaz.

Sleep~over{loot bags}

Well today is Sleep-over day.

You may have seen the invitations I made for my daughter's Birthday sleep-over. Here are some of the items in the loot bags.

• Candy bag with topper
• Embellished note book
• Wrapped Sparkly pencils
• Wrapped Chocolate cookie bar
• Hair clips on a handmade card
• Handmade bookmark Clip
• Music mix for her friends {not in the photo}

I try to "limit the loot" to small gifts. I don't like to put too much candy in the loot bags. Kids are always so excited after a party. A sugar high is just too much!

Have a great weekend,

Shaz

***Don't forget about my Birthday giveaway.***

sleep-over{invite}

As I said while back I have been bubbling over with creative energy! And these 41/2 X 41/2 post cards are the results for the overflow.

This stamp set is Nursery Necessities by SU! My 8 almost 9 year old loves them and she is a very particular child. You would never know it is a set for newborns.

{Materials}

SU! green blue and lite blue card-stock, as well as patterned paper. Brads star paper punch and Stamps SU!

Back to School

Around here it is the first day of school. Kids are both nervous and excited as they head back to class.

Today is not a big deal for my household, you see, your youngest is starting school next friday. That will be the day that School is a big deal!

You may have seen the double pocket cards. To make this one I used the tutorial. Of course details are all up to you! Here I used dementionals to pop out the Fhiona and liquid glass to accent the apple on her headband. This is also my first attempt with Copic markers. The whole world of Copic is new to me but ... interesting.

{materials}

Copic markers, designer paper by SU!, white, black ink, Fhiona stamps by yournextstamp, black and blue card-stock

Hope your kids are having a great day back to school.

Shaz

Swingin' {Fhiona}

Here is a little card I made with sweet little Fhiona.

This Fhiona image is called Day Dream Fhiona. The image is actually of Fhiona sitting on top of a flower but I trimmed off the flower and placed her in a flower swing I cut using the MM Slice.

To Make Fhiona look like she was sitting on the swing I put dementionals on her bum and left arm. I also cut the right armpit

so that her arm can hold on to the swing. The swing is also raised with dementionals.

The sentiment "Bithday Girl" from the Cupcake Cutie stamp set perfect for any little girl.

Supplies:

Cupcake cutie Fhiona and day dream Fhiona stamp sets available at yournextstamp. Shapes cut with MM Slice Black and Brown ink. Twine. And lots of dementionals.

It is grey around here so hope your day is bright!

bath{baby}

Here he is the beautiful baby boy! Isn't he such a cutie.

This card is one of the card I made for the YouNextStamp site. I had fun working with this lil' guy. Here is how I got those tiny clothes hug out to dry:

1st I stamped the image on the card in just the right spot.

Then! i stamped them on white paper. I dod this do the true color would show when I colored them.

3rd, I used colored pencils for that soft look. When I was done coloring I trimmed out the clothed and glued them to the line.

He is a happy clean boy, isn't he!

Supplies: "welcome baby boy set" of stamp {YourNextStamp}, CTMH colored pencils, Washington Apple desighner paper {SU!} Blue and White cardstock.

Have a fun day All!
