August 25th New Releases

Check out Little Miss Muffet Stamps 3 new images released today. The DT Team have been working their magic again, you MUST see how they inked up these great new releases at the Challenge Blog.

New Images: Paprika, School Turtle and Summer Monkey

I used School Turtle. I guess I just have back to school on the brain. I wanted to take a different spin however, and try a "classy"-er back to school card. I have no idea why I chose a monochromatic theme, but I just decided that I wanted to play with my Warm Grays. And the green, well, I thought originally of just doing the turtle green, but decided to add a hint of green cardstock instead.

The DP is from a 6x6 scrapbook kit I bought from Walmart, I can't find a name on it - sorry.

Little Miss Muffet - Multiples

Are you read for today's Little Miss Muffet Challenge? Challenge # 16 is to Use Multiples. Simply use more then one Little Miss Muffet image on your creation. Here is a quick and easy Make It Crafty YouTube tutorial on how to combine digital image in a Word document.
I merged (left to right) Little Miss Muffet's - Cinnamon, Rosemary & Peppermint. They are all dressed up and ready for the new school year. Kids here don't go back until after the Labour Day weekend in September. I combined these Dolls with Tiddly Inks - School House and Tiddly Inks Basement's - Blackboard on a scrap piece of Echo Park paper, added some rhinestones and a sparkly apple sticker.

Don't forget to head over the challenge blog and see all the other artwork by the Design Team, these ladies are crazy good!

Teacher Thank You

My youngest child had his classroom visit for next years Junior Kindergarten class. Here is the quick Thank You I whipped up for the two teachers.

The DP is October Afternoon: Fly A Kite & The Great Find. I used the apple svg from SVGCuts, and the yellow DP has the varied border scallop from Images by Heather M. The Gingham apple was 2x cut from cereal box to raise it up, and the seeds & stem are SU -Chocolate chip. I also used the SU - scallop border on The Great Find DP.

Fathers Day Feast

With fathers day fast approaching, I needed to whip up 4 cards. I usually send out duplicates to the Father and Father-in-Laws and something separate for my hubby, but this year I scrounged through my sample stamped pack and made individuals for everyone.

Dustin Pike digital art Fish Fear, coloured with Copics, SU from my scrap drawer and computer generated sentiment.

Trick or Treat Goodies

I made these little Halloween treats for my daughters JK class. Due to all the food allergies kids have now days, I didn't want to send in any food treats, but happened across these little Crazy Eights/Old Maid card-game sets sold in a package of 24. Her class is only 19 - hurray!

These were fairly easy to make, I stapled together a one inch strip of Halloween themed cardstock around each Game-set then mounted the scalloped edge image onto the stapled portion. I wanted to keep it easy for the kids to access the games or all my hard work would get demolished in the attempt to free the gift. Who am I kidding, they are going to get destroyed any way.

It would have been even easier to make this project if I had the right size punches. All in good time though. I have debated whether to purchase the one or two needed punches from SU or buy the Scallop & Circle Spellbinders individual sets. Can't make up my mind though. It's a money thing.

Details:
Stamps: SU - Batty for You
Ink: black, green, indigo, orange
Paper: left over Halloween scraps
Accessories: colluzle, scallop punch, stampler

Scholastic Clip Art

Last week my daughter and I went to visit her Junior Kindergarten teacher for next September. I wanted to send a thank-you card for the tour and for the lovely goody bag they sent home with my daughter.


I haven't yet purchased any scholastic themed sets so I used a free clip art image and computer generated sentiment.

I had originally sponged red around the image frame, but didn't like the results so cut out the image and placed it on a new image window. I like this result much much better.

Details:
Stamps: free clip art image, computer generated sentiment
Paper: DCWV - Fall Matstack, Michaels blue and red cardstock
Ink: Tombows
Accessories: paper hole punch
