Celebrate

Celebrate - cause it's FRIDAY!!! Yippee!! Do you have a lot of plans this weekend? We've got a soccer game, 2 birthday parties as well as a to-do list a mile long! My parents have been gone for a few weeks on vacation and while on vacation they found me two wire card racks to hold all my cards. You'd typically see these racks in like a flower shop. Well I've always wanted one and was so excited when my parents told me they got me TWO!!! They will be dropping them off this weekend and I can't wait to get my hands on them...

Before I talk about my card for the day don't forget about my blog candy. You can see the post here - it will have how you can enter (scroll to the bottom) as well as a pic of the FEW goodies I'll be giving away (I'm adding to it so there will be MORE). Thank you to all you have entered - spread the word for your increased chance at winning too. Thank you also for all the sweet comments about my daughter's pictures - I, too think she's pretty darn adorable!!

So today I'd like to share another card from one of my classes I did last month. This is a card we made at my Scor-Pal class.

The background was done on my Scor-Pal using a Scor-Bug. I just love the way the Scor-Bug embosses the paper. I used DCWV white core paper and sanded off the top a little so the design really pops on my card. For the cupcake (which is from the Little Cupcake stamp set), I paper pieced the cup using Uptown Girl paper pack. I used my glaze gelly pens to color in the cherry. I applied Liquid Applique to the icing and before heating it I added a little prisma glitter. Below is a close up of the cupcake:

It was fun to make and everyone loves feeling the icing! Everything I used is available through The Angel Company so feel free to contact me regarding questions or if you'd like to order. I just put in my application today to get my own online ordering site so when that is finalized I'll add that information to my blog. How cool to be able to order in your jammies or at anytime you'd like and have it shipped right to your door?!?!

Thanks so much for stopping by - Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Just be-claws

Happy Friday!! Whohoo am I so ready for the weekend! I'm hoping to get lots of things crossed off my to-do list today. Plus this weekend there's no soccer game or commitments so we can relax - we ALL need that from time to time. Abby is out of school on Monday so I'm trying to figure out something fun for mommy and her to do that would be special. It's been awhile since we've had a day to do something. Sunday I have a FUNShop at my house with a bunch of fabulous ladies so that will be fun. The projects will be using a brayer on one and fun flock on another. I'll share them next week!

This card is one we did at my Scor-Pal class. It was a lot of fun - you should think about coming if you live near Topeka, KS. Or, just let me know you'd like a kit and we can send that out anywhere! My kits include detail instructions with pictures of each card so it's easy to assemble. My next class will be Christmas cards & a planner. Still finalizing the details on that - so I'll post when I've got it done.


I got the FISHY FRIENDS set awhile ago cause I just love the sayings that go with the images. Haven't used it yet and decided it was time. The dots at the top were made with the SCOR-BUG and my SCOR-PAL. I made lines on the top of the white cardstock with my SCOR-PAL as well. I wrapped BROWN SCRAPPER'S FLOSS around the card and used a glue dot to attach my button over it. For something a little different I threaded black ribbon through my button and tied in a knot. I really like the color combo - KRAFT, OLIVE, and red wine. The "I care" sentiment is from a retired hostess set.

Well that's it for me today! The weather is beautiful here and I'm sitting back enjoying some coffee getting ready to do some coloring! Whatever you may be doing today (or this weekend), I hope it's fun....and relaxing! Thanks for stopping by!

FUNShop projects

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! I know mine went fast but then don't they always! Yesterday, I had a FUNShop! A FUNShop is just what TAC calls our in home parties. I like it cause we always have FUN and we do two projects. So it's a fun workshop! At this particular one we made a treat bag and did a card utilizing our Scor-pal. First up is the treat bag. Our treat bag is for Valentine's Day but would be perfect for Easter, Birthday and just because! I'm planning on doing something like this for Abby's preschool class Valentine's day party. I got the idea from Angie's blog. She always has such cute projects!

This is a side view to give you an idea of the size of it. It's made with small paper sacks (size 6 3/4 x 3 1/2 x 2"deep) that I got at Michael's. You actually cut the top of the sack off so it measures 4 3/8". Here's the front:

We used Enjoy Today stamp set and From the Heart GWP. We colored the image using our stamp pads and blender pens. It gave it a soft watercolor look. We also made a card. I showed how to make your own background paper using your Scor-Pal.

The brown & white card in the front is the one that everyone made. The others were just samples of other ways to make backgrounds using your Scor-Pal.

These are just a few more cards that I showed where a Scor-Pal was used somewhere on the card. I like how easy it is to use the Scor-Pal and how it can really step up the look of my cards!

Don't forget right now TAC is having a spec-TAC-ular savings event where all T-Coded stamp sets in the Fall/Winter Catalog & Fall Supplement are 50% off. Hurry! This event ends on January 26th!! so Email me today!

Thanks for looking!!
