Teacher Gifts

Hello!  I was able to sit down this past weekend and make some treat boxes for the kid's teachers : )  I used this AWESOME template from Leigh Ann Baird called Cute Carton.  This is the small version and it only uses 1 sheet of cardstock!  I decorated them with some dp that I picked up last year from K&Company~Sweet Talk Specialty Paper Pad.  This is also for the Verve Project Parade~ Tags, Tins, and Treats!  The flowers on my boxes are from the Verve set Love's Flower.  I stamped the flower on different patterns of dp and cut out the layers.  The sentiment is from the Verve set Thankful Hearts.  I hope you like my treat boxes, and that it inspires you to create some of your own!  Thank you so much for stopping by :)

PTI Paint By Number Sketch

Hello!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I am battling a cold, so I did a lot of nothing : )  I thought it would be fun to play along with the PTI Paint By Number Sketch today : )  We were given the sketch, along with the exact measurements of the different layers. 

We were also given a color palette based on our user name.  Mine is KerriM so this is my color combo : )

This is what I came up with.  The floral image is from the PTI set~Life and the sentiment is from PTI's Floral Fusion.  I had to move my ribbon strip up a little from the sketch so I wouldn't cover my flower :)  I will leave the complete recipe below, and thank you for stopping by!

Featured Stamper~CASEing Bar

Hello!  I was able to play along with the Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS today : )  The FS this week is Barbara a.k.a. Bar.  Her gallery is AMAZING!!!  I drooled over several cards before settling on THIS adorable one!  I used the exact same layout and dp as she did.  I changed up the image, using this adorable Ella Lollipop from Stamping Bella.  I omitted the sentiment, added zigzag stitching, layered the flowers a little differently, and used Labels 8 Nesties.  Overall, the card is very similar~thus totally CASE'd : ) 

I also wanted to give you guys a heads up on a contest that Karen~the owner of Your Next Stamp~is having on her blog.  Karen says that YNS is going PURPLE, and she wants you to e-mail her your guess as to what that means!  You could win $10 in YNS bucks!!! Check out her blog for the deets and thank you so much for stopping by!

PTI Emboss Resist

Hello again : )  Today's Papertrey Ink Anniversary Challenge is to use the Emboss Resist Technique.  I decided to make a very simple CAS card to fit the challenge.  Not sure about this one, but I do love the color combo!  I used the awesome PTI set Blooming Button Bits, stamped the image with VersaMark and embossed with white ep (I don't have any clear!)  I then cut it out with a Rectangle Nestability and while keeping the Nestie in place I sponged around the image with Spring Moss.  I then added some flowers punched with my EK Success Retro Flower Punches out of Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry Fizz.  The border was punched with my SU Scallop Trim Border Punch.  Simple, huh?!  Let me know what you think because I know I am no expert when it comes to CAS lol!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Divine Divas Inspiration Challenge #21!

Hello!  It's time for another Divine Divas Inspiration Challenge!  This time we were inspired by this fabulous Valentine Gift Idea from Better Homes and Gardens found HERE.  These are votive holders with a paper muffin liner over the top.  You can fill them with anything you want!  Super cute, huh?  I decided to go with the idea and create this:

I filled a glass votive holder with some chocolate hearts, and covered with some paper that I cut with a scalloped circle Nestability.  I then decided to make a circle card using some of the same PTI Simple Valentine paper.  I absolutely love this C.C. Designs set~Hey Cupid, and don't want to put these sweet Gingersnaps down!  I'm going to have to buy more of these adorable images!!!  Don't forget to check out what the other Divas came up with, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Perfect Presentation New Release!

ACK!  Can I just tell you how much I LOOOOVE this new template by Leigh Ann Baird called Hey Cupcake!!!  It is soooo perfect and easy to put together!!!  I'm telling you, Leigh Ann's templates are flawless!  Of course, I didn't have any cupcakes around, but I did have this yummy chocolate chip muffin (which is even better in my honest opinion : )  The template comes with this perfect little insert that will hold your cupcake (or muffin : ) in place inside your box.  How cool is that!?!  She also added the mats for the top part of the box, so it's super easy to decorate with your dp.  I can't wait to make more of these!!!

I also made a little box using the Able Gable template.  Another super easy and flawless template!!!  This is actually a pretty roomy little box, so the options are endless!  I think I will fill mine with some Valentine goodies for the teachers : )  

All templates can be found in The Wild Flower Patch Shop!  Now go check out the rest of the DT so you can see the 3 other templates that are available today!!!

My First Product Focus Review!

Hello!  I was soooo excited to be asked to be on the Product Focus Team for Splitcoast this year!  Our first product is Flower Soft Ultra Fine and you can see the full review HERE.  I made 4 projects with this awesome product:

This is a stamp from the Flower Soft Moments in Time series called Best Friends.  Love it!!!  I used some Sage FSUF on the grass and I just love the texture it adds!  The dp is October Afternoon Farm Fresh.

For this card I used this adorable Whiff of Joy image Willow with Flower Basket.  I added some Strawberry FSUF to the flowers in her basket, in her hair, and to the heart.  So fun!  DP is PTI's Simple Valentine.

For this card I used the Your Next Stamp set Happy Days Mermaid.  Isn't she precious!?!  I added some Sand FSUF to outline my sandy hills, and some Strawberry FSUF to her swimsuit top and flower in her hair : )

My final project uses this super cute set from The Greeting Farm called Oh Baby.  I added some FSUF to the baby's bonnet and the teddy's belly : )  DP is Basic Grey Lemonade. 

If you have any questions about these cards just let me know!  I don't have time to fill out the complete recipes right away.  Thank you so much for stopping by and check back tomorrow to see some new templates from Perfect Presentation!

I had the chance to play with the super fun Rock Star Fhiona set!

I made a little gift set consisting of a gift card holder, and a little box using the AWESOME Bag it Up template from Leigh Ann Baird. 

Here is a close up of the gift card holder.  I used the Fhiona, guitar, flower, and sentiment images from the set on the outside.

On the inside I used the music notes and microphone images.  So fun!

On the box, I used the other sentiment that comes with this set, as well as the hearts.  So many fabulous images!!!  I was totally inspired by the black, white, and hot pink color combo, so I made a big hairbow to go in my gift box : ) 

Make sure you check out the Your Next Stamp Store because there is a HUGE sale going on now!!! 

As for a favorite concert memory, it would have to be when my hubby and I were newly dating and we went to a huge 4 day concert series outside of Grand Junction, Colorado called Country Jam!  I really started to fall in love with my husband during that time, and we truly just had a blast with each other and several of our friends : )  Unfortunately I don't have any pics because it was before I had a digital camera, and I don't have a scanner :(  I don't think I would want to put a picture of me like that out in blog land anyway LOL!

More Verve-y Goodness : )

Hello!  I know I said I would post these yesterday, but I have been so consumed with trying to figure out where to send my soon to be kindergartener to school next year!  Unfortunately we are not zoned for a very good school : (  We didn't think it was a big deal because we thought we would be out of this house by the time Avery was starting elementary school, but we also didn't know that the housing market would crash and burn like it has!  Soooo here we are and I have been doing a ton of research trying to weigh our options.  I will probably continue to be stressed for the next 2-3 months until we figure it out! 

Anywho...I have a couple more cards to show you that I posted for the Verve release week challenges.  This first one was a color challenge to use Gray, Black, and Turquoise.  Awesome color combo, huh?  I used this fabulous set called Thankful Accents and the dp is My Mind's Eye Andrea Victoria. 

My next card was for the shaped card challenge.  I used the Verve set Hundred Hearts for the hearts, and Hearts on Fire for the sentiment.  After seeing somebody else use these Label 8 Nestabilities to make a shaped card, I noticed they chopped off the top so that it was a straight edge, and I think it looked much better than how I did it, so I would recommend that if you try it : ) 

Come back tomorrow to check out the new Your Next Stamp Challenge and to see my YNS creation, then on Thursday we will show off the new releases with the Your Next Stamp Blog Hop!!!  There is still time to enter the Blinkie Contest.  See THIS POST for the deets!

Hello!  Last week I told you about these awesome new templates that the fabulous Leigh Ann Baird~Stamping with Annie B~started creating.  Well, she asked if I would like to be on her DT!  Of course I said YES, because the 5 templates she has available now are all SPECTACULAR!!!  Today I get to introduce you to one of her new templates called Bag It Up!  This little bag was so fun and easy to put together, that I had to make two of them : )

The size is just right for a little treat.  Some candy hearts would fit perfectly in this Valentine bag : )  I used some PTI Raspberry Fizz cs and Simple Valentine dp.  The sentiment comes from the Verve set Hearts on Fire, and the cupid is a digital image from All That Scraps~Hey Cupid.
