It's a Snow Day!

Two hour snow delay today!!! Don't you wish you could go out and play for an hour and still have the energy to go to school? LOL! I love kids ;)

It's time for Cards on Friday! Hahaha...seriously no rhyme or reason to that. I just have to catch up on sharing some cards.

OH and a quick note....today is the LAST day to leave comments over at the Core blog to win some Core'dinations Cardstock!!!!! We had an awesome week teaming up with Helmar. Speaking of Helmar...all these cards are using their adhesives. Zap Dots...450 Quick Dry adhesive...tape runnner...you name it! AND they are doing a give-a-way on their blog, too ;)

This first card is on the Core blog today using some Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions and Vintage cardstock. Oh and some Unity stamps and May Arts Ribbon, too. Thought this would be a fun gift for my scrappy friends so I can give them some pins (we always swap stuff). Too bad I made this awhile ago and totally forgot about them come Christmas time. So typically me!

AND my Thanks card for Webster's Pages January Challenge. Thought this sentiment was just too perfect for my time with them this past year.

Oh, and a Merry Christmas card featuring the petite 6x6 paper from the Webster's collection. I loooooove these!!! The stamps is a Unity Webster's stamp embossed with clear embossing powder. I like the pop of color from the Jillibean Soup felt flowers.

DID YOU SEE?

Spring Market? omw. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Brandin and Team outdid themselves...seriously. EVERY time they just wow me.

Um...navy and green?

Chipboard and TWINE???

Polka Dot Rain boots???

Make sure you head over to the Webster's blog for a give-a-way!!!

And if you didn't see Jeni O'Connor's GDT goodies you gotta head over to InspireME. She did the most amazing lifts of the past DT. We had no idea and it was the sweetest thing EVER! Here is my layout based on her inspirational layouts. I love how she layers and layers and I {tried} to do her justice on this layout.

AND don't forget Webster's Unity STAMPS!!! :):):) Cannot get enough of this Handmade with Love stamp. The cardstock stickers fit right in the box...love that!!!!

The background cardstock is Core'dinations from the Stacy Julian line. LOVE this stuff!

Here is my card for this week's challenge...I was inspired by the orange of this time of year. The core'dinations Gemstone cardstock is embossed with my Cuttlebug.


Stamps are Unity. I used the backside of the gemstone to stamp and then layered with some black magic. Have you seen Queen & Co. Rox yet??? They are so fun!!!!!!!

And here is another card for fun....I stamped on the Tag {Unity Stamp} with stazon. I loooove these bread tags from Nikki Sylvis!!! I got mine at For the Luv of Art :) Some more Core on here too ;) I wanted this card to look like a present and don't these little guys look like they are gonna smooch? so cute.

Have a GREAT week!

Jillibean Soup Love!

I just looooooooooooove Jillibean Soup and have since the beginning of time or when they first started designing product, LOL! So I love it when I get Soup spotted ;)

So for the Unity WCMD challenges, I busted out a bunch with some of my new papers I got from FTLOA.

This first one was based on a sketch....

I stamped with paint on this card.....

Card and matching envie....

Embossed the flap of the envie with a Tim Holtz folder...

It's a New Week

And man oh man is it GORGEOUS here! The sun has been out all weekend and just amazing. The kiddos and I went on a hayride on Friday and then they spent the rest of the weekend with my parents. I can't believe how much owen looooves the outdoors. He is just like my dad in that regard. Last time he was with them he came home with a turkey call (the ones for your mouth!) and last night he shared with me how to make a buck call or was it grunting? I have no idea but he watches the hunting channel in the morning while he gets dressed! So funny.

(one quick note..make sure you check out Core'dinations Facebook page we are doing a MONSTER give-a-way!)

AND I am editing to post my winner from the Kreaxions/Just Imagine blog hop....my winner is................... LORI! Make sure you email me your addy! Lori said...

Your project is cute, but those boys are the cutest...

Anywho....I wanted to share some more cards with you today. Oh and I will be announcing the randome winner of my punch SOON! ;) THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the comments. PLEASE check out some punches over at Kreaxions. You will LOVE LOVE them. They are so worth it, I mean you get FOUR different looks in ONE punch! You can't beat that.

Here are some more cards I did for the Unity Challenges over WCMD. I used Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue line for these mini cards.

Core'dinations Core Impressions....

Some Waiting for Santa on this card....I used the Webster's Trim for the flower....

And last but not least some Post Cards from Paris ....this line never ever gets old...it gets more and more beautiful!

Cards and More Card

I am on a card craze these past few weeks. One of the things that got me going were the Unity challenges that were going over WCMD. I did ALL of them! I started Sunday night and did half of them that night. I guess once you get in the groove, you get in the groove ;)

The cool thing is, I only have 4 Unity sets and 1 of the individual stamps so it really got me thinking outside of the box when it came to new ways to use them.

Here are a few of the cards I did with a Halloween Theme. I used Core'dinations Black Magic and Echo Park papers. The paper piecing for the first one is from Scrapbooks, etc.

pop up cards are FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Kimber ;)

These are the New Rox from Queen & Co. They are so cool! AND the orangey color is Gemstone CS from Core'dinations.



Here is a link to my Split Coast Stampers Gallery. I gotta tell you, I think I am going to spend more time over there. SO many great ideas and I love love to stamp!

THANK YOU!!!

First off, I have to say a HUGE thank you for all of your support for the blog hop this weekend!!!

It was SO much fun and the amount of support ya'll gave for Webster's is beyond amaZing! We will be announcing winners tonight at the Chat. Don't forget to stop by at 6 PST/EST in the forum where we always meet for the winners. And I will post it on my blog, too.

Here are some cards I wanted to share with you that I created using Webster's New Hollywood Vogue Line. The colors in this line are STUNNING! I was inspired by the Unity Stamp WCMD challenges. The first one is a Shaker Card...can you believe that I made one of these? First one! AND I used the Webster's Vellum for it.

This one was for a handmade flower card so I layered and layered some Spellbinder's dies...

And here is another card. I printed the Happy Birthday wishes on the computer, used some Tattered Angels glimmer mists on the chippy, embossed the houndstooth to match the butterfly and used some Dimensionals.

Working through the week...

Well this week is back to school and I am teaching 4 night classes so life is crazy. So far so good ;) I knew I would like teaching but never imagined how much I would actually enjoy it. Going to a job you love is one of the greatest things in the world.

You know what else is great? Hollywood Vogue! Yep, I whipped out the Webster's this weekend and it was FUN! I got a lot done for WCMD and I wanted to share this card I created based on the Cricut Circle Blog weekly challenge.

I used my French Manor cartridge to create the screen. I had to cut it twice to the screen image and the border. I used some Core'dinations on here, as well, ran it through my Cuttlebug and then sanded it down a bit. Stamp is from Unity and I embossed that, too. Oh and how could i forget! I put the Webster's vellum behind the screen...that is how this card started. I knew the vellum was the perfect touch.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

OMW! yeah!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what!!!!

Webster's Pages baby! I am so excited. I love love love love their products and have been a fan since they debuted. I got a guest spot this summer and was wanting to come back something fierce and I couldn't more excited.

{that is me break dancing in case you were wondering ;}

In celebration of the 6 month spot on the team, I will share MORE Websters!

This is a card I made with some of my leftovers from the crop and the backside of some Core'dinations Cardstock. The stamp is a Unity stamp my mom got me as fun surprise!

And here is an ornament I made for Audrey's Challenge at the Webster's crop. I love these cones that I got from my grandmother. I covered it with Shimmerz goodness!
