Monthly Moments: November

Are you enjoying the Papertrey Release so far?  There is still so much to see!  Today we are using the Monthly Moments: November stamps and paper packs to make a card.  I have a fun November birthday card today...



I used several pieces of the November paper pack for this card, including cutting out a little turkey from one of the sheets.  I used the november die and then stamped the happy and the birthday in Dark Chocolate ink.  I popped up the turkey on foam tape (not a sentence I have ever typed before) and then added in a little tab on the side...

I stamped the gobble, gobble in Dark Chocolate and then added the little arrow image in Ripe Avocado for a pull tab on the side.

Stop by the rest of the DT for more Monthly Moments inspiration!

RC Sketch

Hey there!  I feel like I haven't been around much.  So busy!  Lots of kid stuff and friend stuff and just life.  BUT, I am hear today and I have a card for this month's sketch over at Reverse Confetti.



This card uses the ADORABLE new stamps and dies from the set called Donut You Know!  I love it!  When I originally added the donut in on this card, I assumed it would be like a donut with no hole, but now I am thinking maybe it looks more like a cookie?  I took a scalloped punch and took a bite out of it.  These dies are just too fun!  I love the options for the sprinkles on top.  

I obviously changed the sketch up just a tad.  Here is the original version....

Here is the new set and dies I used...

I hope you can play along over at RC.  Click HERE to take you to the sketch and check out how to play along.  

Thanks so much for coming by today!  Have a great day!

Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

Well, the holidays are right around the corner and REVERSE CONFETTI has just released a collection of new products that will help get you in a festive mood and give you a jumpstart on your holiday crafting!  With 4 stamp sets and 7 new Confetti Cuts dies/sets, there’s plenty to choose from.  You can even sprinkle your projects with a little donut love without having to go up a jean size!  So put on some of your favorite music (Christmas, perhaps?), sit back and join us for our new release blog hop…

The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Amber’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets and dies!

My daughter and I decided to have a plan ready for this years Christmas treats for her class.  We decided to use the new set called, North Pole Wishes and the Sweet Treat Tent, to make these fun little favors....



We stamped the main image from North Pole Wishes and then added in the diagonal stripes from So Stripey.  Then we added in some holly to finish it off.  This treat was super easy to make just by adding in the hot cocoa mix to the middle of the treat tent and stapling in shut.  We added in a bow to cover up the staple.

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Stacey’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find the hop order and list of all the participating designers over on the Reverse Confetti blog.

A few things before you hop along though, just to keep you “in the know”…

a little planning...

I thought I would stop in with another planner post.  I am still planning away and love love love my Erin Condren planner.  Like my cards, I definitely keep my planner clean and simple.  These new stamps from Waffleflower are SO fun and help out so much.  Here is a quick shot of this next week before I added in all my lists.



I use some very thin washi I found at Michael's to mask of the column headers.  Then I use the Wafflweflower set called Planner-Stay Focused for the AM and PM, and BLOG headers.  I also use the little check boxes because I LOVE to see things marked off my lists.  These stamps are so handy and keep everything neat.  I don't like my messy handwriting, so these definitely help me to feel like I have everything neat and tidy.  I start with my Monday DT tasks and then I cross of what I have finished and transfer the unfinished list to Tuesday.  

In the same set, there are some little calendar boxes, which I find super useful for reminders.  I have a whole stack stamped out and I can pull them out when something is due.  

Just another close up shot of the sticky note....

I use my Versafine Black Onyx ink and I keep a mini acrylic block in my planner bin, so I'm ready to stamp and plan the week!

I got a new cover too.  I think I am an addict.  But I have learned I am not alone.  So I am ok with it.  I love this new Turquoise and Platinum cover....

Here is a shot of my favorite pens. These Frixion Erasable Gel Pens are fabulous!  Like I said before, I am not a fan of my handwriting so a lot of erasing happens in this planner.  Click HERE to get a set for your own!  :)

Curtain Call: Boho Bright

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

photo credit:  chezboheme.com

We have a new sponsor, Verve Stamps, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Boho Bright!  A randomly selected participant in the Boho Bright challenge will receive a $30 gift certificate to use at  Verve Stamps, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

When I heard our theme for this week was called Boho Brights, one look at that inspiration photo made me think....foil paper.  I just layered up a few of the colors from the photo and then added some black enamel dots for detail.  I kept it super simple as usual.  I added this adorable thank you sentiment from Verve, and then attached the foil paper panel to the front of the card base.  

I attempted to photograph this card 5,412 times because of the foil.  It was SO hard to get an accurate picture of the foil color.  So in this picture Cleopatra held the photo for me....just incase you were wondering what my card model is wearing. lol!

Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!
