Moonlight Forest

Hello stampers! I’m mixing new with old today.  Technique Junkies new stamp is called Forest Buffalo, and the old stamp is Wolf by Moonlight.  I am so in love with these two stamps because they make excellent masculine cards.  My favourite way to use them is with a Color Burst background.  And if luck would have it, Technique Junkies produced Four Little Sentiments, three of which are in the photo above.  Each sentiment fits nicely into the forest floor and looks great with the gold embossing.

Our Trip to Ottawa and Area

Living in an apartment, in the city, it felt soooo good to be hiking outdoors.   While we were disappointed in the lack of colour change for this time of year, we were pleased to catch some colour.  Colourful leaves are late this year–and not just in Ottawa.

My Organized Stamp Room

Happy Saturday fellow stampers!  I’m not sure if I posted this photo of my organized stamp room or not.  My dear cousin helped me to organize my tiny space so I could find things quickly, and I must admit, she was right when she had me put likes with likes.  For example, it was very painful to see her place wooden stamps in with my polymer.  I nearly had a heart attack fainted when she suggested it.  After some coaxing I finally agreed.  Now that I’m looking for a particular stamp, I can find it in 30 seconds.

That wooden chair you see tucked into the corner is my YouTube video making chair.  It doesn’t creek and groan like my metal chair.  I’ve been known to stand up throughout a video production too.  This winter I am painting the chair a little wacky fun.  Still haven’t decided if I should make the base coat black or pink.  Check out “painted chairs” in Pinterest and let me know your thoughts.  Better yet, if you come across something you think would be perfect, please put a link in the comments.

The painting of dandelions on the wall was done years ago at a paint party.

 

My Stampn Up! stamps fit beautifully in large bins which are stackable.  I placed all dies with the stamp set using an elastic band so there’s no hunting around for that special die when I “need” it.  You know the frustration.

Coloured bins along the top shelf hold items not easily stored in bins with lids.  Notice the labelling?  Terry Ann, my cousin, stood over me and had me label things immediately.  Occasionally I would say, I’ll do that later, but she wouldn’t let me put it off–LOL.

Gasp–wood and polymer share the same space.  Well, I’ll admit, Terry Ann was right.  It is easier finding stamps when they are “like with like.”

These large bins are just 2 of 6 that I have filled with Technique Junkies’ stamps.  I have them organized according to Christmas/holidays, backgrounds, all things water-related, and miscellaneous.

Al created hooks for me to hang my brayers.  Did you know that brayers should be stored like this to prevent the roller from creating a flat spot?

Well, if you are reading this you’re a trooper for all of today’s reading material.  I’m off to the trailer for the night–have a great weekend!

Dotted Blooms was the background stamp that I used from this release. Do you find colouring relaxing?  If you do, you will like what I did.  I placed my stamp onto my Misti and coloured sections on each bloom with a watercolour marker (ie. Tombow, SU), huffed and pressed down onto white cardstock.  It doesn’t take as long as you might think, and if you’ve got Netflix or a good movie on, the time goes by even quicker.

Sassy Pants

It’s the 15th of the month and it’s time for another edition of Dueling Darlings.  In one corner we have the Dazzlers (me) and in the other we have the Divas.  This month’s hosts are Tracie (Dazzlers) and Barb (Divas) and they chose “Humor” as their theme, because we all need a smile.

This is such a great theme, especially in these times.  Ontario, Canada has opened up to Stage 3, but not dear ol Sarnia and a few other areas.  We have to wait a tad bit longer.  So that means playgrounds are still closed, and so are restaurants, gatherings of more than 10 people, etc.

I received two images in my kit, and I cut one of the images up so I could trace onto the DP and create cute clothes.

The inside of the card has the sentiment “Lil Miss Sassy Pants!”

SUPPLIES:

Image – Crackerbox

Designer Paper – Spring Fling by Sunny Studio, SU Tempting Turquoise

Sun Dies – Lil Inker Designs

Background Die – Taylored Expressions

Smily Faces, Recollections by Michaels

Hearts – Honey Bee Gems

Thanks for visiting.
