This is a super easy way to get a soft coloring effect. But we did find out that you have to be careful with the mineral spirits even on a vinyl tablecloth.

It is a complete copy of Eva Costigan's card found here. I simply tweaked her card to eliminate the sewing to make it doable during a class. The drawn on border technique came from my friend, <a href="http://ritasangels.blogspot.com/">Rita Kegg</a>. I love having creative friends to inspire me.<br /><br />I have a big crowd coming on Friday and we will be making 4 cards and 1 small gift project. There will be lots of prizes given away too! And of course, oohing and ahing over the new stamps in TAC's catalog. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiamahZd-hFlivlIym7-yrFEHx-AsXtmUNtcCDDNr-qCYeaWgI54JFGZkMBJlH5Qm7e6D4ijx5iupQLHvycCgzsnfQHZ_c2HlTFR-G1LvuX4GvKP8U9Ve0arTdPjngum2MG95uwZDI4U9DV/s1600/blossoms+and+blessings.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498632363363467986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiamahZd-hFlivlIym7-yrFEHx-AsXtmUNtcCDDNr-qCYeaWgI54JFGZkMBJlH5Qm7e6D4ijx5iupQLHvycCgzsnfQHZ_c2HlTFR-G1LvuX4GvKP8U9Ve0arTdPjngum2MG95uwZDI4U9DV/s200/blossoms+and+blessings.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The card here features one of my absolute favorite stamps in the new catalog, <a href="http://jen.ismyangel.net/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=5642&cid=131&pid=103">Blossoms & Blessings</a>.

My daughter just squealed when she learned that there was a paper collection named after her, and it really made her day that it features yellow, which is her favorite color. What's the best part of this new paper collection? The reduced price! It's only $6.95 for the five sheets of gorgeous double-sided paper and the sheet of die cut tags and tabs. I used one of the tags here for my sentiment. The sentiment is actually from a cute new set called <a href="http://jen.ismyangel.net/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=5627&cid=106&pid=103">Tail Feathers</a>. </div><div> </div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309133890200125721.post-5311148126395094792010-07-20T16:27:00.003-06:002010-07-20T16:54:54.124-06:00One of my favorites<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74TZE_wFT2uoJNnEBFccPTzS1sk03pVWPWDjtc0hxkBZ1xp0NGadq2cCZDXRbz3p-EctgL_bgN0ku1c2IjWiK3s4JKysn8cSKSdSgexY86HhBy_qh9p0UZqXKPPRriUpHsW1QFxHS2mZ7/s1600/rita+085.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496118821102563522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74TZE_wFT2uoJNnEBFccPTzS1sk03pVWPWDjtc0hxkBZ1xp0NGadq2cCZDXRbz3p-EctgL_bgN0ku1c2IjWiK3s4JKysn8cSKSdSgexY86HhBy_qh9p0UZqXKPPRriUpHsW1QFxHS2mZ7/s320/rita+085.JPG" /></a> This set, Peace Be Still, is one of my new favorites.

I think that I'm going to have to buy <a href="http://jen.ismyangel.net/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=5540&cid=106&pid=103">Mice Day </a>because my kids have stolen all of the images that I stamped to make their own cards.

In fact, I've only worked on two projects at all in the last four months. This was one of them. It was a treat bag for the volunteers at this year's Vacation Bible School. Our theme was camping so the inside contained smore's ingredients. They were a hit. I found these cute sacks at the local store and they were just the right size to use with the level C hostess set in this year's TAC catalog. This was super simple because I had to make 60 of them.<br /><br /><br /><br />I'll share my other stamping project later -- I know, only two in four months! But I started a master's degree program this fall and between school, work, and my family, there just isn't much time left for stamping. I'd like to say that that was going to change because I do miss my creative time, but I don't know that it will. But I am working on re-organizing my studio, partly to include the study space that I need and partly to make it more user friendly so I will be more inspired to do some projects in those few moments of spare time that I have.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309133890200125721.post-19432461285494697642009-12-28T14:32:00.002-06:002009-12-28T14:42:16.411-06:00New Serendipity on The Way, But First<a title="TAC™ Promotions" href="http://www.theangelcompany.net/"><img border="0" alt="TAC™ Promotions" src="http://www.theangelcompany.net/images/Promos/Jan10/SerendipityFinalFarewells_ci.gif" /></a><br /><br /><br />If you have a copy of Serendipity 2009, click <a href="http://www.theangelcompany.net/Promos_SerendipityFinalFare.html">here</a> to see the list of stamp sets available at discount!

I've tried lots of solutions -- storing the cardstock in hanging files in a drawer and then putting scraps in the folders, putting the scraps in a big box, putting the scraps in separate folders in a box...<br /><br />I had the same problem with all of the systems -- it was difficult and messy to find the color that I needed when I needed it. But I've finally found a system that works for me!!<br /><br />I sorted all of my scraps by color family -- are you noticing a theme here? Then I put each color family into a separate drawer in a plastic storage unit. The drawers come out of the unit so when I'm working I can take out a particular drawer and dig through it to find the size and color of scrap that I need. I actually find myself using the scraps now!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309133890200125721.post-84784612668380774992009-05-04T09:00:00.009-06:002009-05-04T09:21:03.243-06:00Cardstock and Paper Oh My!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMWvbhTcjP82kQj3rc71h8S_vUPCuoqiLmFfPxtE7YiHygQHLt0QvtzKz47x_KTsHgRczjW4I7DBCRoYVwIm6B6MAFJQYG6dIG7GC7bWWeto509AB7HXU94cHTOjSWiWOy3hXxeTv90mlu/s1600-h/12x12+cs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331988905705299506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 315px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMWvbhTcjP82kQj3rc71h8S_vUPCuoqiLmFfPxtE7YiHygQHLt0QvtzKz47x_KTsHgRczjW4I7DBCRoYVwIm6B6MAFJQYG6dIG7GC7bWWeto509AB7HXU94cHTOjSWiWOy3hXxeTv90mlu/s320/12x12+cs.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><div>Here's how I have my 12x12 cardstock stored. It is in vertical storage boxes that I bought from Oriental Trading Company. They are very sturdy and hold LOTS of cardstock. I was having a problem with trying to find my different patterned cardstocks from TAC. So I made separators from a piece of plain 12x12 cardstock. Then I added a strip of white folded in half to make a tab. On that tab, I put a label listing the paper's name and then all pieces of that paper go behind that tab. It has made it much easier for me to find a particular pattern.</div><div><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Also, you can't see it very well in this picture, but I sorted my 12x12 plain cardstock in rainbow order.

I used a similar idea of vertical storage and sorting by ROYGBIV order with this cardstock. The containers are plastic magazine holders from Walmart. I turned them on their side so that the opening was facing the front of the shelf on which they are sitting. The cardstock is then sorted by color with a separate holder for all my neutral colors. I had a hard time seeing when I was running low of a certain color so I took a piece of 12x12 white cardstock and trimmed it down to use as a divider between each color -- now it's very easy to see which colors are running out.</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ZyH-YNU1S_h3suI9m3f3YQdd2VdL1JjLc3UaoXDvHepO3s0l4MuKeKCBbqDjL2WwL0JFND2OrhUGA-57NqjOU2YfWzF6Izyjryi7pWIGwFSdiXXCVfTDBDeAi_x871ftcm_6FfS5ZIsw/s1600-h/8x8+paper.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331987807508319474" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 139px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ZyH-YNU1S_h3suI9m3f3YQdd2VdL1JjLc3UaoXDvHepO3s0l4MuKeKCBbqDjL2WwL0JFND2OrhUGA-57NqjOU2YfWzF6Izyjryi7pWIGwFSdiXXCVfTDBDeAi_x871ftcm_6FfS5ZIsw/s200/8x8+paper.jpg" border="0" /></a>Finally, here's my 8x8 patterned paper pads.

One of the main rooms that I wanted to do this in was my stamp room. The carpeting was awful with stains from dropped ink pads, spilled paint, and other messes. Not to mention the messes made by our four cats and two kids. It is so much easier now to retrieve that dropped brad or eyelet. And let's not even consider if I spill a container of embossing powder (which has happened before!). <br /><br />This is the view of the room now from the door. You go up a flight of stairs from our main entrance to get to this room and you have to turn at the top of the stairs to get into the room. Almost everyone gasps the first time they visit and see the view into the room. I don't know if it is because of the amount of stuff in the room or just out of jealousy that I have this room. It's the fourth bedroom in our home and the only room on the second story. It has it's own bath right off the room, which is super convenient for washing out paint brushes or for customers attending classes. My husband picked this house because he got tired of people having to trail all through our last house to get to the space in the basement that I used for classes. I love this room -- it is my home office, my classroom, my kids' craft space, my get away and more.<br /><br />In this picture you can see the table where I teach classes -- it's our old dining room table that we bought at a second hand store when we were first married. It easily sits 8 and we can squeeze in 10.<br /><br />Check back later for more pictures and storage ideas.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309133890200125721.post-35184781410249907982009-02-09T08:30:00.001-06:002009-02-09T08:34:13.723-06:00I Adore ...

The picture isn't the greatest, but you can see that I added score lines 1/4" from the edge all of the way around the front of the card. This is a single layer card, but it looks so chic. The embossed lines and the silver embossed saying just pop. Several ladies said that this was their favorite card despite it being the most simple.<br /><div></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309133890200125721.post-75902666512219760002009-02-01T14:23:00.001-06:002009-02-01T14:30:46.042-06:00Class Rescheduled<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9j7ALN8C4Zhyt0J4KD-5Oz802TXqwf4xLNpcJY8DdAo8kCEPSKXAa9vAr6owEhEoKnjKaYJqrr-oDS3AwPBoFBew3gNBjLG6wQksw3Q6jvW7lYAzNv1sC-Hf7SDtKLdn0P2qnpzJohKmR/s1600-h/076.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297928773809050930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9j7ALN8C4Zhyt0J4KD-5Oz802TXqwf4xLNpcJY8DdAo8kCEPSKXAa9vAr6owEhEoKnjKaYJqrr-oDS3AwPBoFBew3gNBjLG6wQksw3Q6jvW7lYAzNv1sC-Hf7SDtKLdn0P2qnpzJohKmR/s200/076.JPG" border="0" /></a> We were not as lucky as I had hoped after all -- the sun didn't come out until very late on Friday meaning that the roads stayed icy. When I still couldn't see even a square inch of pavement on my street by mid-day, I decided that we had better postpone the class. I've rescheduled for next Saturday, February 7 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.<br /><br />This is a closer view of one of the cards that we will be making.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309133890200125721.post-29590300406538775202009-01-29T17:37:00.005-06:002009-01-29T17:50:43.503-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTKzTo77JvqLwv40D_yGsYrgBEi0_DK8wTuc-MZBNfIff6CXIi5c_fmJ1dnmMe6dNn5mxBTR7UmeqJ5gasUUWwLD1nUSF5H3WN4QIPXZMZedTx6m6Rmu7W3tzDjBbKcJt_BJIHnOiPpho/s1600-h/valentine+class+samples.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296864239658151810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 168px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTKzTo77JvqLwv40D_yGsYrgBEi0_DK8wTuc-MZBNfIff6CXIi5c_fmJ1dnmMe6dNn5mxBTR7UmeqJ5gasUUWwLD1nUSF5H3WN4QIPXZMZedTx6m6Rmu7W3tzDjBbKcJt_BJIHnOiPpho/s320/valentine+class+samples.jpg" border="0" /></a> These are the samples for my Love is in the Air class tomorrow. Right now I plan to still hold the class despite the weather's interference with everyday life this week. We will be making 5 cards and three treat packages. The class is from 6:30 to 9:30 and is $15 for the supplies. Unless I have some cancellations tomorrow, tomorrow's class is full, but I do have a completely open session for Sunday afternoon from 1-4 pm.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHP5wFJ04zc9m5fISO3o5GIy0nAVkU8z7jOwoiWMF4O4BcsCtatD2c6t-1-ZXyKwvy524E3VvfYZXnCI6GAasvVxEFhuatTcj2ZAliNKeEtTbzt3HrUEmhQbJTvZMF_oaIgNxHhosT_1vF/s1600-h/linear+sentiments+valentines.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296865669088596258" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 154px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHP5wFJ04zc9m5fISO3o5GIy0nAVkU8z7jOwoiWMF4O4BcsCtatD2c6t-1-ZXyKwvy524E3VvfYZXnCI6GAasvVxEFhuatTcj2ZAliNKeEtTbzt3HrUEmhQbJTvZMF_oaIgNxHhosT_1vF/s200/linear+sentiments+valentines.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p>This is my favorite card for the class. It was inspired by one that <a href="http://jensinkspot.blogspot.com/2009/01/quick-valentines-day-card.html">Jen </a><a href="http://jensinkspot.blogspot.com/2009/01/quick-valentines-day-card.html">Carter </a>made. I changed up the colors a little and used Linear Sentiments for the background dots on the black piece.</p><br />Speaking of weather, we were very blessed at our house. We only got 3/4" of ice and our power stayed on the entire time. Thank goodness because my kids are so spoiled with their electronic entertainment! They have been off school since early dismissal on Monday afternoon and are out again tomorrow. I'm hoping by tomorrow afternoon that the roads might be melted enough to make a trip to the post office and the store. And for those who live up north and are amazed that everything just shuts down around here from a little snow or ice -- we didn't believe it when we moved here either. But the road departments and the drivers here are truly not equipped to handle winter weather! The ice was beautiful on the trees. Here's the view from my back door.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296866751281586530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDxfKO25r4foIsLyEKii5EYcF9r8q3AjCT0H4rN5aVQrxD9rjtZoP78SrwY-VEOtcbXeC_vZSDMc7knmL49ykdVTMZ0RrcSOWgInayOhOtcFrX8EaAo3pGvhU4-Gkl9A9i96y25egDLCCu/s200/060.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508156024413994283noreply@blogger.com2
