Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are having a great day today! This week at SP & Company Stamps, we are celebrating not only our wonderful January Stamp releases, but we are using some of our stamps from this past year. Today, I used the Large Polka Dot Background Stamp, released this month and I also used

Candy Hearts Stamp set, released last January 2011.

Card size: 4.25" x 5.5"

SP & Company Stamps: Large Polka Dot Background, Candy Hearts

Cardstock: American Crafts

Embossing Ink: Big & Bossy Clear

Embossing Powder: Ranger Distress Milled Lavender, Zing Rouge

Chalk Ink: VersaMagic Jumbo Java, Red

Embroidery Floss: DMC White

Buttons: Unknown

Valentine's Day is coming up and I wanted to make several cards! I love combining stamp sets when I can and I love background stamps. They can really make a card interesting and make it "Pop!" I used the Ranger Distress Embossing Powder for the background. Once it is embossed, you can rub it and release some of the crystals and it makes it more distressed like it is not completely stamped.

I love that look!

Jump on over to the SP & Company Store and get your stamps and all your stamping needs. Also, don't forget to check out Sami's projects at Scrapmaster's Paradise!

Happy Tuesday!

Hope your day is going well! Here is a card I made from the SP & Company "Large Polka Dot Background" stamp just release this week! I love this background stamp!!! You can make your own polka dot backgrounds now! I used this stamp to make a polka dot border on one side of my Kraft background. I embossed it and it is so cool! I also used the Just a Note stamp set from SP & Company and it is one of my favorite sets! Make sure you go check out the SP & Company Stamps Blog for some great inspiration and don't forget to order all your stamps from SP & Company!

SP & Company Stamps January Blog Hop 2012

2012-01-10T00:01:00.000-05:00

Happy Tuesday to You!

Welcome to our first SP & Company Blog Hop in 2012!

I am so excited about 2012 and all the fun things that SP & Company has in store for you! We have lots of wonderful stamps and the quality of these clear stamps is incredible. I just love how these stamps will stamp such clean, clear images and they are so easy to clean!

This month's color is WHITE (or Cream)! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's White challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some awesome SP and Company prizes!

I wanted to show off one of our new background stamps called Little Floral Background. Although it is a "floral" background, I wanted to make a more masculine card to show its versatility. I chose to use the background on the card base and to make a pattern piece to use along with the base. I used Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye to give it the worn distressed look and also use VersaMagic Chalk Ink in Jumbo Java to add a more worn look.

Here is the card I created for the Blog Hop:

Cards Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

SP & Company Stamps: Little Floral Background, Bold Sentiments 1

I hope you are having a wonderful day! Today is Design Team Wednesday at SP & Company!

It is a busy time around the house getting ready for Thanksgiving. I recently made over 200 Thanksgiving cards for my sister to send out for her business. Here are just a few that I made. They are simple without much embellishment, because they had to be sent through the mail. I used may different pattern papers, but I used the SP & Company Stamps on many of these cards! These sentiments came from the set called "Bold Sentiments II Holiday Set!"

Please stop by Scrapmaster's Paradise to see what the other designers have in store for you!

I have a cute little card today using one of our new stamps, Vintage Varsity! I decided to make a little birthday card for a cute little girl who will be four soon! I love polka dots, so I found the perfect paper and ribbon! I stamped "Happy Birthday" on the background paper in the polka dots and then use the "4th" stamped by itself to emphasize what birthday it was. I just love this new Vintage Varsity stamp set because there are so many possibilities!

SP & Company November Stamp Release!

2011-11-10T07:00:00.000-05:00

Happy Thursday!

The SP & Company November Stamp Release is finally here! We have had some great sneak peeks, but it's time to finally reveal the stamps!

This month's color is Red! Not only does the Design Team get to play with this color, but YOU do too! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's red challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some awesome SP and Company prizes! And don't forget that the random prize patrol is watching so leave a comment on every blog each day to be eligible for the prizes!!

Today, I have made a large Christmas tag for one of my special Christmas gifts. It is a homemade gift also, but I am still working on it and cannot reveal it at this time. The new stamp set I am working with today is just awesome!!! It is called Vintage Varsity and these numbers can be used for anything from sports to tags! I decided to use the number 25 since that is Christmas day and I stamp it on light card stock six different times in offset rows. It looks like I cut the paper down to size, but that is how I stamped it...so that the image goes off the page. I also stamped most of it lightly to give a more distressed look and then stamped it dark, one good time. I also used the Christmas Medley sentiment and then took an edge distresser to each layer and also added some brown and black ink. These techniques help to make this tag more distressed and old fashion.

Tag Size: 4" x 6"

SP & Company Stamps: Vintage Varsity(numbers), Christmas Medley(sentiment)

Card Stock: Stampin' Up

Pattern Paper: My Mind's Eye

Embossing Ink: Stampin' Up Dye Soft Suede

Chalk Ink: VersaMagic Jumbo Java, Black

Ribbon: Michael's

Flowers/leaves: Prima

Edge distresser: Heidi Swapp

Brads: Spare Parts by The Paper Studio

I hope I have inspired you to make some homemade Christmas tags! This is a big tag and it was so much fun to make and it also looks so much better than a store bought tag and your friends and family will appreciate your handy work!

Make sure you check out the SP Blog and see what Samantha did with the new stamps! Also, Patty, Stephanie, Kelli, Chrissie and Jen all have projects for you today, so stop by their blogs and check out what they have been up to.

Good Wednesday morning to everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Today is very exciting! I have a sneak peek of the new SP & Company Stamp set to be released tomorrow, Nov 10! It is called " Vintage Varsity!" I just love it!

I volunteered again this year to make "Thank You" cards for our high school football coaches and trainers for the end of season banquet. I just love this set of varsity numbers! It is perfect for my cards! I decided to stamp jersey numbers on the red background and then stamped one number so it stands out! For this sample, the number happens to be my son's old jersey number(he graduated last spring.) We have eight coaches and a number of trainers and team managers that I will be making cards for and I plan for each background to be different.

Card size: 4.25" x 5.5"

Cardstock: Stampin' Up

SP & Compnay Design Team Wednesday

2011-11-02T10:36:00.002-04:00

Happy November!!!

Good morning to you all! It has been a hectic week. I had a minor car wreck last week...everyone was OK, no one was hurt, just my car and it wasn't even my fault. Anyway, I forgot to pre-schedule my post last night and when I got up this morning, I had to go to the dealership to get the tires aligned and the fender somewhat fixed, so that it would not rub my tire. I had to go on a moment's notice, as they were nice enough to work me in this morning. The reason is...they cannot fix my car until Dec 12...yes, Dec 12. Why??? You ask?? I live in East TN and because of Hail storms in April and more storms in June, all the body shops are back up for months and months fixing cars. This makes it very difficult for people who have more immediate needs, like car wrecks, to get their cards fixed. Am I a little aggravated...Yes! But, there is not much I can do. Luckily, my car is a lot more drivable and safe now, than it was yesterday.

So, now without further ado, here are two cards for today, one using Just a Note and Bold Sentiments II Holidays! My cards are plain and simple. I had an order for 200 Thanksgiving cards. They are in sets of 12, because I had lots of different pattern paper. I had to make them flat and not too fancy, because they all had to be mailable and simple, yet pretty. So, I could not do some of my usual 3D dots and embellies on these. This is only one of many:

Card size: 4.25" x 5.5"

SP & Company Stamps: Bold Sentiments II Holiday

Stamps: Pumpkin and leaves(Inkadinkadoo)

Cardstock: American Crafts

Pattern Paper: K & Company

Embossing Ink: Stampin' Up Craft Chocolate Chip

Embossing Powder: Ranger Clear

Dye Ink: Stampin' Up Dusty Durango, Soft Suede

Chalk In: VersaMagic Gingerbread

Here is a note card to go with some of the Thanksgiving cards in the same order:

Card size: 4.25" x 5.5"

SP & Company Stamps: Just a Note

Cardstock: American Crafts

Pattern Paper: DCWV

Embossing Ink: Stampin' Up Craft Chocolate Chip

Embossing Powder: Ranger Clear

Chalk In: VersaMagic Jumbo Java

Here is my card for today! Since I live in Tennessee, of course Orange is a BIG color around here--GO VOLS! I just LOVE this new set from Samantha! It is a wonderful set, because you cannot find any Note sentiments anywhere. This has so many different little sentiments in different fonts and I JUST LOVE IT!!!! I just wanted a simple card and I love polka dots, so I punched some circles and popped 3D squares on them to give them a little pop! I added the sentiment with 3D squares also, and then added a little bling to go with it! It's a very simple card, but I love it and I hope you do too!

Happy Monday to all!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Welcome to a week long 500K Visitor Celebration at Scrapmaster's Paradise!!

In celebration of this wonderful giveaway, I also want to celebrate women and Breast Cancer Awareness month coming up in a few days! As women, we need to stick together and empower each other. I am sure most of us have been touch by someone who has had breast cancer or a close call and we need to make sure we all take care of each other!

For this card, I used our wonderful new SP & Company "Awareness is Empowering" stamp set. Since October is coming up, I wanted to use colors in pinks and reds.

Swiss Flag Blocks

2011-01-04T22:12:00.000-05:00

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I hope you are beginning your year with lots of creativity! I wanted to show you a couple of blocks that I did in November for my Bee There Bee Squares Bee. This block is a Swiss Flag block and it was very easy to make. I just love the fabric I received to do these blocks! They have now traveled back to their owner and I can't wait to see how her quilt turns out!

Here is an example quilt that was made using these blocks!

I think I would like to make a quilt like this a some point! I think it would be fun!

Quilt Blocks to Share

Hope you like these blocks! Be back to share more later!

Quilt Ramblings

2011-01-02T23:13:00.000-05:00

Welcome to my Quilt Ramblings!

In October of 2009, I decided to buy a sewing machine. I bought it mainly to use to sew on my cards that I love to make. Little did I know, that I would learn to sew and quilt! My best friend had decided to start sewing and kinda drug me into it, which I am so thankful for. Besides doing scrapbooking and cardmaking, I love to sew and it is such great therapy!

I have been meaning to share my sewing adventures here, but I never seem to have enough time. Well, I am making time this year! I am going to become a regular blogger and share not only my cardmaking and scrapbooking, but I am going to share my creations in sewing!

So, for today, I am going to show you something I am working on right now. This is a block I made as a sample to show my fellow quilters in my Beautiful Batiks Bee that I am in. I am mailing out fabric tomorrow to 5 other girls and they are going to make two blocks each. I cannot wait to see how this quilt turns out. The block is called the Starflower and I just love it! I decided to do reds and pinks for this quilt. Not sure why--they just struck my fancy! :) There is a tutorial for this block over at Modify Tradition.

Months ago, I signed the Process Pledge, which you will see in my right hand column. I am going to start showing and explaining my processes in quilting and I hope you will come along for the ride!

Thanks for letting me ramble! :)

Happy New Year!

2011-01-01T15:02:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year to all you crafty people out there!

I hope that 2011 is fun, creative and prosperous for you!

Do you make New Years Resolutions or do you make goals for the New Year? I never seem to follow resolutions too well, but I do like to make goals. To me, for some reason, goals seem to be more attainable. I don't know, maybe they are the same, but I do have some goals I'd like to achieve this year.

1. Declutter---this is a big one and will take a lot of time! LOL

2. Get Organized---this is a big one and will also take a lot of time.

3. Scrap more--I want to do more projects and get more creative!

4. Sew and Quilt more--I have plenty of projects I have started, that need to be finished. I also have lots of projects I want to do this year also!

Now, I have many other goals for this year, but these are some of my goals towards my creativity that I want to achieve. This is going to be a busy year and I have a son who will be graduating from high school and who does track and field. He is not sure where he is going to college yet, because he is hoping for a football or track scholarship, so until something happens with that, than I am going to be on pins and needles about college. LOL That's where my scrapping, sewing and quilting come in---these are like therapy for me! :) When I am creative, it helps keep the stress away!

So, get creative and get those projects started! It's a new year and it's going to be a great one!
