Yosemite page

Hi Everyone.. yep I do pages too.... but not so much

with all the cards I have been making-- but I made some time to 

put together some pages of our trip to Yosemite 

this spring.  It was really fun and we had some snow

but the valley was still great to hike and I got some

wonderful photos of the trees... and some funny stories.

 I got a big set of this paper line from WeR and it's 

filled with lots of stickers, papers and goodies

 so it was really easy to scrap my trip.

The photo on the left is Yosemite Falls right where

a famous man named John Muir had his cabin.  Can you imagine

waking up each day to that view.. I would have loved it

actually.  Being up in the mountains is my one place

of true serenity.  I love all the smells, trees and the rivers.. 

    That's it for today but thanks for stopping!

Have a good Wednesday,  

and hope you do something creative today....

Card Club for August

We are still doing card club but looking forward we have

some fun new things to do and I am really excited!  Our

class will be split for geography reasons and getting there

so I will have classes at 2 places now. 

 Friday is at Scrap N Yap in Monrovia and 

Sat is at the new Prima Warehouse in Chino.  

Here is a sneak peak of our new cards and another

of my favorite this time....

I love, love, love these colors and this card

even has my favorite roses on it. I just love it....

Can't wait to see all of you and make some cards!

I have a few openings in fridays class in Monrovia

 so if you are interested

call Elizabeth at 626-357-2727 to sign up.

Oh how I love Snowflakes....

I am not going to lie.. I love snowflakes on everything.

They say that what you don't have you love so being from

Southern California we don't get much of this beautiful snow!

So when Spellbinders came out with the new release this 

summer of snowflake dies I had to get out my Bo Bunny

papers and dies and put together a pretty card and this

is what I came up with! I layered the backround and popped

up the frame and added lots of pretty snowflakes and bling!

I just love how the layers of these snowflakes

came out and the blues and greens of the papers and

the embossing of the folder with the white was

just perfect.  Spellbinders has a new die out at

CHA called Decorative Labels Twenty Eight and

it has beautiful 3D details on it if you look really close.

These are two of my favorite new dies released and

I just had to share them with you!  The snowflake dies

you can see here with some of the other new Holiday

dies just released... Just Gorgeous aren't they?  

My stamp today is from Penny Black and I

used Want2Scrap bling and a pretty piece of bling

in the center from Prima.

Be sure and check back for more fun ideas

with the new dies... You are going to love using them!

Hugs, Teresa

Wonderful News!!

Hello Everyone.. I have some wonderful, exciting news..

I recently got the chance to do a few guest spots for

a wonderful stamp company called Quietfire Designs and they

asked me and my friend Debbie to stay on the team with them!!

So very exciting--- and they are connected with Spellbinders 

so its the perfect match for me... and I love Calligraphy

so that is perfect too.  Today I want to share a brand new die

that came out this morning at CHA called S4-414 Captivating Squares.

It's a beautiful intricate die and I thought it would be fun to layer it

and turn it on it's side to see what would happen. 

I really like how it came out and kind of looks like a star.

The Quietfire stamp I used is from the Happy Birthday set #5905.

And I used lots of pink patterned papers and pink flowers to go with it

so it's super bright and cheerful.

Sometimes to get the right color of ink I mix things together

and for this I mixed Versamark Rose Red and Versafine Satin Red.

They mixed well and still gave me a fine image of the letters.

 I stenciled inside the top piece after I embossed the sentiment and

popped up the layers to really show off the dies!

Be sure and check back this week for lots more samples

and die previews from CHA. You are going to love them all

they are really, really fabulous this time again !!!  They have a live

stream coming from CHA at 10 today so be sure and check it out!

Take care and have a great day,

Teresa

Quietfire card to share

Hi Everyone.. I have a quick card to share today with

a new stamp that I got from Quietfire Designs.

The stamp is part of a beautiful set that comes with 

the outside oval edge stamp and 3 smaller stamps for inside. 

I love when you have other options in a set so that

you can change it up for different people or maybe

 just use the sentiment on it or maybe a tag.

This was a really easy card that I did with two Spellbinders

dies.  I used Labels Eighteen for the top and under it I layered

Decorative Labels Eight from the winter release.  I inked

it a little too much but that's ok.. it's fun to try something new.

(I love the reds and tans mixed together it's kind of country looking)

And to finish it I just tied a double bow and added a rose on top.

Hope you like it and be sure and check out the other new

stamps over on the Quietfire Design website....

Have a great day!  Teresa

Fall page to share

I know it's not fall yet but it is my favorite time of year

and I made a quick page to catch up on my photos to share.

My favorite time of year is going up to the local apple farms

and picking lots of good apples to make yummy things with.

So in my spare time I am catching up with all my photos and got

a few done for our apple picking trip last fall.

I mixed up lots of bits from different paper companies to make

 my page and a little bit of Imaginese and tags i had in my stash.

For the Spellbinders dies I made the title starting with

a couple of flags and layered an oval from Grand Deco Ovals. 

 Then cut and embossed 2 pieces of the Picot Edge die and then

added the canvas title from Imaginese. I also used borders along

the edge the backround and used border punches to make them.

 It was really fun that day and the weather was perfect! 

 Can't wait for fall...

Thanks for coming over and hope that you had fun on our 

Spellbinders hop.  There is lots more coming and they are

having a live broadcast next Tuesday from CHA so be sure and check

it out so you can be the first to see what is new for this summer!

It is going to be amazing and you will want it all :)

Hugs and Smiles,  Teresa
