Wicked! Bookmark

Hey have you seen the musical Wicked? I haven't but I really want to and it is coming to Toronto in autumn.  This bookmark is for me to use when I am reading Wicked. I used the Loonie Stampers Challenge for this bookmark. This is Challenge no. 100!!! Congrats Ladies.

Did you know the Loonie ladies are all Canadian?  We can all say eh! to that!

Honestly I dreamed it up last night when I couldn't sleep. I had seen the Challenge posted and the ideas kept me up for an extra hour. I used a sketch from the PCD blog for the bookmark.

Isn't this paper perfect too!

It's "Stars and swirls" by GCD studios.

piles of glitter

Why is glitter so messy? I have done an other Pile it on challenge... and this was a messy one. Check out the pile of Challenges I used:

{1}Pile it on challenged us to use Glitter.

{2}  Sketch Saturday gave us the layout

{3} Farm Fresh Friday Color combo

{4} Crafty Cardmaking Non Christmas image on your Christmas card.

I had the grand idea to use the Laundry Hope {see the original image here} to make a tired gift wrapper.  I am sure I will look like this next week, all strung out on wrapping, apple cider and curly ribbon. Can you see her tiny slippers? I have not seen a challenge for flocking but if there was one I would qualify. I dusted her little house slippers with soft white fluff. So while "Hope" pulls an all-night-er, wrapping gifts, her toes will keep toasty.

{material}

Baja, kiwi, real red, choc chip and whisper white card-stock from SU! Laundry Hope stamped image is from TGF and embossed with stazon and SU! clear powder.. Gold glitter is from White Rose{if you even know the place I have had this glitter forever}  Christmas sentiment, ribbons and strings are random from my stash. Colored with Copic markers.

{tools}

Crop-o-dile to punch hole in tag. Making Memories Slice and Noteworthy SD card to cut dies.  Glue pen and Liquid glass from CTMH to adhere glitter and flocking. Heat gun to set the embossing powder and glues.

If you have any question please feel welcome to leave a comment.

Have a wonderful day~Shaz

I love scrap-booking! It is truly my favorite thing to do.

I found this great site called: Unscripted Sketches.

It was mentioned on Momiji's blog {Hollie}.

When I saw Hollie's sample, I could not resist.

Take a look, this is Sketch #25:

The Sketches are so perfect.

Well, I dug right in and scrapped 3 pages inspired by this sketch.

Only 2 ended up looking like the sketch so here they are.

It was so much fun! I had a great time making these pages.

Spooky{tag}

Here she is! Fhiona with a cute Halloween costume. This is a witch that you would love to see tied on a treat or with a note just to say : “Have a great day!”

I stamped some friends for Fhiona in the background. The spider has a tiny paper pierced trail leading up to Fhiona. The ghost is a simple white outline, like a ghost should be.

The colors used for this tag are from Dawn McVeys’ Raspberry Suite color Challenge #16. I love the rich palette Dawn always picks. She has a great sense of style.

{materials}

kraft and white cardstock. markers. white and brown ink. Yournextstamp Fhiona image. yellow grosgrain ribbon and brown satin ribbon. The tag was cut with the MM slice.

Have a great day,

Shaz

P.S. I {heart} comments.

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!

A window to the past.

A window to the past is a card I made for a color challenge a while back. I am not sure why I didn't get around to posting it but... Oh well.

What I love about this card is the delicate details. Inside the window frame are soft clear embossed flowers on vellum. Some are grey and some are orange to coordinate with the vellums existing pattern.

Supplies:

Peach Orange and Grey Card-stock, designer vellum Orange and

grey ink, Clear embossing powder.

Hope you are enjoying the last days of summer.

I am {still} here.

Hey All,
I have been very busy and I also can't find my camera cord.
That being said I have lots to post once I find my cord. We had our bi-annual Scrap-booking week-end at camp. I was so excited to complete 13 pages with journals. Since I demolished my Kraft Nook to go to camp I am trying to re-organize it. It may take a while but I have high hope.
I also got my Mother's day gift early and it is a Making Memories Slice! I will have much to share on how much I love it!
See ya soon,
Shaz
