W2SB #24: Twas the Night Before Christmas
Happy Holidays W2SB friends! We know it's a very busy time of year for everyone but we're hoping you'll take some time to relax, revisit the beloved Clement Clarke Moore poem, A Visit from St.
Nicholas, and create a project using ANY line(s) from this holiday classic.
Here's my I-Team card for a little inspiration:
In addition to checking another Christmas card off your list, you have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to My Favorite Things (woo hoo), a Guest I-Teamer invitation and our W2SB Winner's Badge. Pretty nice Christmas present, huh?

W2SB #23: Changing the Face of Men's Health
It's MOVEMBER and time for another Words 2 Scrap By Challenge! Movember is the theme for November with the focus on men's health. You'll see a lot of hairy men during the month as they grow their moustaches in support of this all important cause. You'll also hear about stressing the importance of MOVING to support this health initiative, so for my simple I-Teamer card I went with that theme:
Bike riding is something I enjoy with friends and is a wonderful exercise to get my behind outside in the fresh air! We hope you'll join in the fun at W2SB to support the men in your life. Use your imagination ~ we can't wait to see what "moves" you!

W2SB #21: Ahoy, Matey!!
Well, shiver me timbers, it's time for another creative challenge over at Words 2 Scrap By! The theme this month is "Ahoy, Matey" in honor of National Talk Like A Pirate Day on September 19th. There's a wonderful prize in our treasure chest from Paper Smooches so we hope you'll play along!
My I-Teamer card for a little inspiration:
My pirate birdie, pirate ship, DSP, and sentiment are from Doodle Pantry. I printed the pirate birdie twice so I could fussy cut the wing and pirate hat to pop them up. The buttons were punched with Martha Stewart's button punch to match the striped strip (say that 3 times fast). Hope everything is "shipshape" in your corner of the world and you'll find some time this month to link up.
Thanks for stopping by ~ we can't wait to see your projects...we're sure "thar be good!"

W2SB #20: Calling All Book Lovers
Happy August 1st and time for another fun challenge over at Words 2 Scrap By! This month we are celebrating books and National Book Lovers Day on August 9th. The challenge to you is to create a project based on a title or quotation from a
book.
Since I'm just c-r-a-z-y about my 5 year old grandson, I wanted to focus on a children's book. One of my faves has always been Winnie the Pooh. You gotta love that silly old bear...he's the bestest of the best! When I put this card together I showed my grandson and his "nice card for a baby" comment reminded me that he's not a baby anymore! Just ask him and he'll tell you! Maybe I should have gone with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...hmmmm :-)
I fussy cut Pooh images from Sandy Lion's Winnie the Pooh DSP and inlaid them in my comic strip die cut frame from Papertrey. The bees, dies, and sentiments are from The Stamps of Life. There's Wink of Stella on the wings and Glossy Accents on Pooh's eyes and nose. I also stamped some of the backgrounds in Versamark and clear embossed for a tone-on-tone look. So much fun!
We hope you'll play along this month! Pick a book, any book, or a quote and let your imagination go! Thanks so much for stopping by ~ we can't wait to see what you create!

W2SB Challenge #17: Say Cheese!
Happy May Day and welcome to another fun challenge over at Words 2 Scrap By! The theme this month is "Say Cheese" inspired by National Photograph Month. Pictures stimulate memories of important events in our life and we'd love to see how you interpret this challenge.
My I-Team card came about because my Dad is soon turning 93 and I just finished scanning a number of old photographs for digital copies. One of my favorites was my Dad sitting on the running board of their old car in front of their farmhouse in North Dakota. He's the little guy on the left, my Grandfather in the middle, and my Aunt Anne (whom I was named after) on the right.
This photo was so old that I went for a vintage look with Tim Holtz stencils, Distress Inks, and various metal embellishments. The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life and I thought it was appropriate. The picture was taken during the Depression-era and my paternal Grandmother had just passed away giving birth to my Dad's brother. The baby was put up for adoption and my Dad never knew he had a brother until he was in his 60's. Come to find out he grew up with him, they went to the same school, and were neighbors. Quite a story, huh?
Well, let's "Say Cheese" and I can't wait to see your "pictures." Thanks so much for stopping by!

W2SB and SOS Challenge
Today at Words 2 Scrap By we are so excited to be partnering up with Shopping Our Stash and combining our April theme, "The earth has music for those that listen" with their weekly challenge. SOS is one of my favorite challenges ~ they always have such fun themes!
For my card (and in the spirit of shopping my stash), I used a Penny Black Christmas stamp called Winters Edge. Instead of snow, I used a long forgotten jar of Sweet Pea Petal Soft on the tree to give it a spring look. The music background stamp is from My Favorite Things.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll play along in both challenges...it's a two-fer!!

W2SB Challenge #16: The Earth Has Music
Are you ready for another W2SB Challenge?? April's theme is "The Earth Has Music" and my I-Team card is in honor of all those birds chirping away in my backyard. Ahhh...what's better in the morning than a cup of coffee (or two), a beautiful sunrise, and the birds starting the day with a song?
This card began with one of Tim Holtz' Bird Crazy stamps, stamped on Ranger Watercolor Paper. I love their quirky look! I watercolored the bird and background with Distress Inks (Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, Seedless Preserves, Mowed Lawn, and Squeezed Lemonade). I used a stencil and Pistachio Distress Ink to create a background on Lemonade cardstock (TSOL), die cut a square, and mounted that layer over the watercolor paper. The sentiment (Momenta) is one of my all time favorites, stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed. For the final touches, I added a musical vellum banner layered over DP and polka dot ribbon from my stash .
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join in the fun over at W2SB and share your projects with us! Happy Spring!

Words 2 Scrap By #15: In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb
March 1st and time for a new challenge over at W2SB! The theme this month is "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb." What does the weather look like where you are? You can probably guess what mine is when I tell you I have three pairs of rubber boots...yes, three!
For my I-Team card, lately I'm loving the color combo of orange and blue. The DP on my card is from Doodlebug Designs. I used Elizabeth Craft Designs stickers for the boots, colored them with Copics, and fussy cut. They were fun to make and so easy - glad I picked them up on another impulse buy! The sentiment is a perfect fit from Savvy and stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. All of the dies are from My Favorite Things.
I hope you'll play along this month. Any weather-related project or Lions/Lambs will work. I hear the hostess this month has a birthday and she is giving out a present. Don't be late for the party!!

Words 2 Scrap By #14: Do Something Different
The challenge over at Words 2 Scrap By for February is to "Do Something Different." I'm always game for getting out of a rut and trying something new. So...I plugged in the eBrush I bought with a Christmas gift card, loaded up a Spectrum Noir marker, and happily began spraying ink all over the place...LOL! I definitely need practice at this airbrushing thing! I didn't get too fancy for my first adventure but was actually happy with the results for the background layer. In person it looks a bit like stone.
The rest of the card came together a bit quicker once the spraying frenzy was over. I stamped the hearts in VersaFine Onyx Black ink on the airbrushed background. Then I stamped it 7 more times on scrap paper so I could fussy cut and paper piece the hearts. The sentiment is from Avery Elle and the black layer was die cut with the femme frame from Mama Elephant.
I hope you'll venture outside of your comfort zone and do something different for the W2SB challenge this month. Helpful hint: If you practice airbrushing, move things that are NOT part of the project out of the way :-)) Thanks so much for stopping by today! We look forward to seeing your projects!

W2SB Challenge #13: #youchoosetheword(s)
Happy New Year!!! W2SB has been live for one year and it has been a blast to be part of the I-Team. I'm looking forward to 2015 and more creative challenges from W2SB this year! I hope you are too!
January is being kicked off with a unique challenge: #youchoosetheword(s). Start with a hashtag and use any words your heart desires!
For my card, I went with #auldlangsyne. We all know the song and sometimes it's a little confusing...like the scene from When Harry Met Sally. Harry wonders, “What does this song mean? My whole life, I don’t know what this song means. I mean, ‘Should old acquaintance be forgot?’ Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances. Or does it mean that if we happened to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them?”
The title of the 1700's Scottish tune by Robert Burns translates to “times gone by” and is about remembering friends from the past and not letting them be forgotten. I'm going with that :-) and will drink a cup (or glass) of kindness for auld lang syne, my dear,
This image is a great one from Tiddly Inks called "Lily Bean - Happy New Year." I digitally colored the image and touched it up with Copics. Of course, what is champagne without bubbles, so gold sequins and clear rhinestones were added to the bubbly.
I hope you'll join in the challenge at W2SB and tell your friends! Word has it there are going to be some terrific prizes this year {wink, wink}. Happy New Year!!

W2SB Challenge #12: Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!
What an appropriate challenge from Words 2 Scrap By for December...Eat, Drink, and Be Merry! I know I'll be eating, drinking, and being merry all month long :-) I just finished decorating the house which makes me very merry!
So, for my card, I had to have a Santa, Christmas Lights, and a Christmas Tree keeping with the decorating theme. I cut a piece of Bazzill red cardstock 2.5" x 5-1/4" and punched three 1-1/2" holes. I traced the holes on my Neenah Solar White cardstock base so I knew where to stamp my images. All images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I scored the red strip on the top and bottom and mounted it over the images. I added a bit of green/white ribbon and stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I love this stamp set called "Tis the Season" designed by Julie Ebersole over at Ellen Hutson and I have used it on several Christmas cards already.
I hope you'll play along at W2SB this month and spread the merry! And, who knows, you may be the lucky recipient of an awesome prize package that includes yummy stamps from My Favorite Things! Thanks so much for stopping by ~ we can't wait to see what you create! Happy Holidays!

W2SB Challenge #11 - Gratitude & Kindness
Happy November 1st! It's time for another inspirational challenge from Words 2 Scrap By and this month we are celebrating gratitude and kindness. For my card, I decided to try a bunch of different techniques to mix things up a bit - literally!
First I wanted to make my own background paper. I used Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor paper, three different stamps, and heat embossed the images. Then I added Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Forest Moss & Vintage Photo on the background, spritzed some water, and let it dry. (That was the hard part :-). I added a "thanks" die cut from My Favorite Things, using Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) on the die cut for serious shine and dimension. I die cut the sweet "Reed Bird" from Memory Box holding a punched maple leaf to match the birds in the background. Lastly, I needed ribbon to match the cardstock so I made my own, adding dye ink to a plastic bag and swishing around some white seam binding. When it was the color I wanted, I spread it out to dry. This card was a lot of fun but took patience. I really have a hard time waiting for things to dry!
I hope you'll join in the challenge this month for a chance to win a guest I-Teamer spot in January and a wonderful Tim Holtz mini blueprints stamp set! Thanks so much for stopping by and supporting Words 2 Scrap By!

Hello! I can't believe it's September and it seems like so many things start to change this time of year. Especially the big, old maple tree in the background when the leaves change into so many different colors. It's beautiful but I won't be saying that as I rake, rake, and rake some more!

Your Future is Bright
I can't believe it is already August - this summer is flying by! It's time for another fun monthly challenge over at Words 2 Scrap By and it's perfect for this time of year! School will be starting up before you know it and W2SB's theme this month is based on the famous quote:
"Education is the movement from darkness to light."
- Allan Bloom
A bright future called for a bright card! The sentiment background was done with a pencil eraser and 3 ink colors. The DP is from a DCWV paper pad called "The Grade School Stack" and the fishtail banners and alpha die cuts are from MFT. The finishing touch is a bright yellow starburst and button die cut.
I hope you'll play along this month and I can wait to see what everyone creates!

Words 2 Scrap By April Challenge
Welcome! I'm so thrilled to be the guest I-Teamer this month for Bobbi & Sybrina's blog, Words 2 Scrap By. Who doesn't love diamonds...in the sky, in your ears, on your fingers?!?
What a great theme and I had fun with this sparkly card sample. The background diamond stamp is from Neat & Tangled, heat embossed using Versamark Dazzle and clear embossing powder. Then I spritzed the background with Silver Glitter Dust from Therm-O-Web. I added the terrific diamond foil paper and "Shine" sentiment (also Neat & Tangled) on nested diamond dies from Lifestyle Crafts. The background diamond for the sentiment was stamped with yummy Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink. To finish off the card, I tied a sparkly black ribbon and added some bling in the corner.
Now...go get sparkly and shine like a diamond! We can't wait to see what everyone creates!
