I'm here - girly style

Hallo,
Welcome to MONDAY!!!!! I accually like mondays because I am usually off on mondays - not that work didn't call and try to talk me into working today....but I had a few errands to do and the craft room was calling.
Another baby book for you today - using the Tim Holtz chipboard book and papers from the same pad as the boy one - only the more girly colors.
Definatly not traditional pastel pinks but more pinky orangeish, maroonish, and brown. I like how it looks but I plan to make another one with more traditional pinks too.



This book is for another coworker who is expecting a Granddaughter in the next couple months. I plan to show her this one and the one I plan to do in more traditional colors and let her pick.
The little onesie and phrase are both from Gina K's 'Wee Tee's ' set. I made up a bunch of different onsies like I did with the boy box but being a girly book you can fancy them up a little so I will show you those soon - I sure had fun making them - like playing paper dolls!!!!!
On this little onsie I added a neckline of ribbon (I also used this tiny ribbon on the feet of the box - which I will show you tomorrow) and I added some other old ribbon, old buttons and paper flowers too.....
Well I had better be off to start dinner - didn't get as much done around the house today as I would have liked but did manage a long walk and some 'hard' time on torture machine (aka the eliptical...) and got a few errands done - so maybe the house will get some attention tomorrow........

Baby book

Hallo,
A few quick pics of my baby gift project that I have been working on yesterday and today.
This is a chipboard book from Tim Holtz that I covered with coordinating papers and stamps from Gina K.
Some of these papers have been in my stash for a long time and some are new from my trip last week....
I have had the stamps from Gina K for awhile - 'Wee Tee's' and 'Sporty Tees'.
I only decorated the front and left the pages on the inside with only the decorative papers - but then I stamped up about 15 different onesies with different phrases and pictures from the Wee Tees set and put them in a little plastic sack. That way my coworker can coordinate the onesie with the picture.

Here's a couple shots of the other inside pages and a shot of the extra onesies (and some extra die cuts and extra sports equipment).

I had a busy day - nice cool weather again this am so I took another long walk and got alot of yard work done - alas no housework done but I am sure this cooler weather won't last much longer so.....

After school I had to run a couple errands for school supplies and then spent about 2 hours at parent night at the HS - introducing all the sports coaches, teams, teachers ect. and then a quick run around the school meeting my DD's individual teachers.... Thank goodness for the crock pot :)

All for tonight - more yard work planned for the am, a mandatory meeting at work, laundry, groceries ect., ect., ect.,

God's Shadow

Hallo,
Errands done, dog walked, some house cleaning done.....'Stampin' Time!!!!!
I finished this one up last week as I was doing alot of coloring for this weeks challenge at CHF. I finished off 3 projects but could only submit one.
I had a hard time choosing which one would be the one I submitted - I had to ask everyone's opinion - my stamping buddies Pat (aka Cheif Enabler/enablee) and Fran, asked me DD and DS, asked my Mom, even asked the DH.....
Anyway all the stamps are from Cornish Heritage Farms - main image is from the Thomas Kinkade collection and the others are from the 'Ornamental Beauty' set.
You can find these great stamps and info about the Design Challenges going on over at CHF here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com

The main image is colored with prismacolor pencils.
I also used some chipboard pieces, some old ribbon, glimmer mist, and brads....
All for now - have to get working on the next 2 challenges as we are going on vacation next week and I want to have them all ready in my laptop to 'load and go'

Cancer Is So Limited

Hallo,
Another couple of my experiments - I think the last in the Lighthouse series - need to do some with this same poem and flowers next.
The Lighthouse is from Stamps Happen.
The poem is called 'Cancer is so Limited' and is from Cornish Heritage Farms - as is the flourish on the main image (from the 'Beautiful' set).
You can find those stamps here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
These are both made to fit a 5X7 frame. The main piece started out with watercolor washes with a layer of clear gesso, stamped the lighthouse and then colored it with prismacolor pencils, added more stamping with the flourishes in ink and the purple flowers in acrylic paint, edged with gold krylon pen.
The poem was stamped with purple staz on - onto vellum - both layers cut with nesties/cuttlebug - and again edged with gold krylon.
The chipboard pieces are from Tim Holt and sprayed with Glimmer mist.
All for this week - see ya'll on da flip side....

Chipboard CPS 106

Hallo,
Another busy weekend at work - so glad to have a day off!!! So glad to find time to play in the craft room, and had lunch with my DH today too - BONUS!!!
Another sketch from CPS today - I had forgotten how much I really loved to do sketches.
This is Sketch 106 - go take a look at what everyone had done with this sketch - www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com
These 3 cards were all done with a stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms called 'Cancer is so limited' - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I also used some chipboard that I had sprayed with glimmer mist. Also some felt and paper flowers with dew drop centers.

Fot this pink one I used the same white spotted flowers from the first only sprayed them with glimmer mist - pomegranet I think, and added pink dew drops.

The centers in this one are buttons......

Well all for today ya'll - more prettys tomorrow.

(that is after walking the dog, getting on my mean ol' excersise machine, doing some yard work....)
