Pumpkin Patch 2013

It is a Family Tradition every year to take the little ones to the pumpkin patch!!!  It is always fun watching them run around looking for the perfect pumpkin.  They may pickup 20 or more pumpkins and never really seems to find one they like!!  We just sit and watch how much fun they are having.

Here are 3 digital pages I just finished of this year's trip!!!  I used on all three Autumn Tradition and  Be Grateful kits from My Digital Studio.

Andy"s 1st Day of Preschool!!

Just had to share this cute page I just finished for my little grandson!!  I saw this on Karen Burniston's Blog !!  The pictures of Andy getting off the bus were a perfect match for this cute page.  He is so tiny and looked so cute getting off that big bus.

He just loves to ride the bus!!

 

 

This is a look inside my Pop N Cut card with my star of the class!!!

 

I used the blackboard technique to create the blackboard and a white gel pen for the numbers.  Just free hand the back of the bus onto cardstock and cut out to make the front of the card.

 

A look at the front of the card!

 

 He was so cute standing there with his backpack waiting for mom.  That backpack is almost as big as he is!!

 

 Thanks so much to Karen for sharing this page, I knew I had the perfect pictures to create my take on this cute page!!

 

Thanks for stopping by and remember....Keep Stamping!!

Grab a Cup – November Release Challenge!

Good morning all, hope you all are having a great week!!  Can't believe we only have a little over 2 weeks until Thanksgiving, where has the year gone??  We are celebrating my oldest grandson's birthday this weekend, he will be 11!

It is Release Week at Flourishes and to kick things off  they are inviting you to “Grab A Cup and be inspired by this fantastic photo as you create something equally warm and inviting.

 

While enjoying a hot cup of coffee, I was thinking about a beautiful snowy afternoon watching ice skaters on a frozen pond!  My first thought Vintage Postcard Stamp Set from Flourishes!  I love this set it is just beautiful. I decided to cut my card to make it look as though you are looking out the window while enjoying that hot cup of coffee.

 

I stamped my image with black ink and colored with copic markers.  I stamped a second image and embossed with Sprinkle N Sprinkle Green Marble Christmas embossing powder.  This is a beautiful embossing powder with all that pretty gold sparkle. Cut your window into 1" squares and layer onto black cardstock.  I then cut out around the frame area and used it as the window frame.  Using foam adhesive dots on the frame place on top of the colored image.  I glittered the image with Sparkling Snow.                                                                                                         


I would love to be enjoying a nice cup of coffee looking at this beautiful scenery, make you feel all warm inside!

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by and remember....Keep Stamping!!

V is for Vixen ~ Challenge

The ABC Christmas Challenge is V for Vixen and it's all about reindeer!!  These challenges are so much fun, I look forward to the next letter each time.  Well it just so happened that I have such finished a cute card with the cutest little reindeer.  I picked this stamp up in July on the clearance rack,  so glad I did it is so cute!!

 

I used watercolors to color the image and SNS Gypsy Red, Lator Green, and Sparkling Snow Glitter for all that wonderful "Sparkle"

The sentiment is from Flourishes Dear Santa stamp set. 

 

 

 

To finished the card I cut a snowflake from Christmas Noel Cricut cartridge. added a little sparkle using Sparkling Snow glitter and a rhinestone. He is already to deliver that Christmas Mail!!

It's A Winter Wonderland!

Good morning everyone, Belinda here with a new layout!!  This layout was created using Sparkle N Sprinkle's A Winter Wonderland Stamp Set and Flourishes Two Stamp Set both are new this month!!

As you can see this is a lot of elements on this page!! You can find all the detailed instructions on how to create this page HERE!!

This pretty background was made using versamark, Flourishes 2 and the Snowflakes from Snow One Like Me.  Stamp the flourishes first with versamark and embossed with Tinsel EP and Holiday Blue EP.  Next stamp the snowflakes with versamark and emboss using Tinsel.  

The center panel was embossed using Cuttlebug's snowflake embossing folder and stamped with the small stamp from Flourishes 2 stamp set.  This makes for a perfect place for journaling, or you could also place another picture. 

 I also added a tag that I cut using Basic George Cricut Cartridge and embellished the top with a snowflake that I cover with Brushable Glue  Jasper Blue Glitter. Perfect place to add

more journaling!

For this beautiful winter wonderland, I stamped the image across the page 3 times.  The images was colored with copic markers. To create all that beautiful "Sparkle" I used Sparkling Snow and Twinkling Clouds.  

Just another look at my wintry layout!  I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did creating it!!!  You can find all the details on how to make this layout HERE.

I will see you again soon!

I was just in love with this stamp set!!!  It just makes for pretty winter pages and some many ways to used glitter and embossing powder!

You can find all the instructions about my page 

HERE

I used copic markers to color all my images.  On this page I also used the Grand Madison Window die.  I just love how it makes those lovely window scenes.  On this scene Diamond Dust glitter gave the look of glittery snow.  I could not resist using that sweet snowman for last month's release Snow One Like You.  

 The glitters used on the sweet snow maiden were, Fascination glitter on the body and hat.  For the rest of the body, scarf and mitten Sparkling Snow glitter was used. 

The sparkly flowers were all cut from Tim Holtz's Tattered Flower Die.  I used sticker paper to cut them, remove the protective backing and apply Gypsy Red Microfine glitter.  I also used Sparkling Snow and Evening Glow glitter.  I punched some pine branch from a punch and glittered with Green Iris glitter.

Using Sizzix's snowflake die cut 

and the swirls from the Love Sizzlit 

I created this pretty area for the title 

to rest.  I used Reflection Microfine 

glitter and Sparkling Snow glitter.

 

This really made a beautiful area to rest my title!!

Quick look at the flowers on the top of the page.  The glitter ribbon was created using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and Gypsy Red glitter.  The border was made using a border punch.

 

Hope you all have enjoyed seeing my page as much as I enjoyed designing it!!!  If you would like to get more instructions on how to make it, you can find it HERE.

Good luck to you all, and hope to see you again next month at,SNS Creative Challenge ~ Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you all have a very blessed day!
