Who Doesn't Love a Chocolate Bar?

I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love receiving a chocolate bar….especially one that decorated up so fancily. Today is Anything But A Card Day and I decided to do just that……..decorate up a chocolate bar for someone special. Here it is:

I decided to use Medic Abigail as my focal image.  I thought that this would make a great gift for someone who’s a little under the weather or who just isn’t having their best day. I colored her with my copics and added some pearls for bling.  I also used my circle and scalloped circle spellbinders for cut out the image and to add some flair.  The ribbon is from my stash.
The tutorial I used to make this candy bar wrapper can be found on Splitcoast stampers here.  They call it the Pull Up Treat.  Why not give it a whirl yourself?

Anything But A Card Sunday

Here's a new type of project this week. I've made a fridge magnet.

It's almost back to school time and there will be all those gorgeous pieces of artwork to hang on the fridge or the filing cabinet at work. What better way to show them off than with a really cute magnet?

I used my copics again to color up this gorgeous little image, which is called V Day Bunny.   I've used oval and scalloped oval spellbinders as well as stickles to add some sparkle.  I used some magnetic strips that I got at the dollar store for the back of the magnet so that it will stick to the fridge.

It's an easy little project, but could work into a great gift for Dad's office, Grandpa's workshop, Grandma's fridge or Mom's workplace. 

Let me know if you make on for yourself. I'd love to hear about it.

Happy creating!  Janet

Pure Innocence

Today's post is short and sweet.  And with a different stamp!  LOL  I'm using the Pure Innocence line today.  Hope you like it.  I'm getting ready for some of my favorite company. I haven't seen Denise in ages---and her new baby is almost a year old!  I get baby time and a visit with one of my closest friends.  I can't ask for a more perfect day.  That's my celebration!

I hope your day is as wonderful as mine is going to be!

Clean and Simple

I've had an idea for a monochromatic card bouncing around in my head for a while now, and I finally had some time to create it. Here it is:

I used my bow easy to make the bow and it turned out great!  I did use the Zinnia stamp set again--I've got to put that away and pick another set, right?!

For copics, I used C's and T's this time.  I also used the circle spellbinder dies to emboss the circle around the image.  The ribbon is from my stash, as is the paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Paperworks Co Anything But A Card

It's an altered notebook today. A girl can never have enough notebooks around and there's nothing better than a personalized notebook.

My notebook is from the dollar store, and I've used one of the new images released last month from Paperworks Co called The First Kiss.  It's just an adorable image, don't you think?  I've colored it with my copics, and used a martha stewart punch for the border.  The chipboard hearts and heart brads are from my stash.   I punched out some page tabs using a SU punch so that the notebook could be a more useful and organized tool for the bride-to-be.  The dies for the image and background are, of course, spellbinders.

Have you made something other than a card lately? I'd love to hear about it.

Happy Sunday everyone!  Janet

Hummingbird

I saw this stamp last week and fell in love with it. The hummingbird is just exquisite.

I had to stamp it twice so I could pop the bird up on the card.  I can't say much more about this stamp except that its from Inkadinkado and I love it.  Wish I could attract them to my yard.

Thanks for stopping by.

Summer Beauty

That's what I call this girl. She's my first La Blanche stamp and I can hear an addiction beginning.  These stamps are a dream to stamp with. Clean and crisp images.  I love coloring them as well.  Enough blabbering. On to the card:

Isn't she a doll? She's called Wandering with Daisies.   I got her at Allison's store in Stonewall which is called Scrapyard.  (waving to Allison!)  Allison has a great selection of stamps and she's an enabler extraordinaire!  Totally my kind of person. If you get a chance, pop by for a visit. You won't be disappointed.

I'm doing a class next week at Gone Scrappin' in Bloom where we are using Oranges and focusing om learning about shading and shadows and we're going to be using this stamp. If you're interested in joining us, click on the link and give Kelly a call. It's always a fun time in Rossburn.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend. I'm creating away!
