let's leaf it

this week, over at tando, the theme is let's leaf it.  i created this large clothes pin holder with a play on words.  the little note says "do not 'leaf' this until tomorrow.  my desk is always messy, and most times in a state of disrepair.  i swear i spend more time looking for things than creating them.  so hopefully this can help me not misplace the important things i really want to get done.
to create this i used tando's leaf stencil, which is one of my most favorite stencils to date, by the way.  i used their mugs and cup's grab bag, as well as the tando mini flowers.  i also used one of the flowers to cut apart to create the tiny leaves for this project.
i hope you will head over to tando to find something you can't live with out!

stampotique challenge time

this week, over at the stampotique challenge , maria has asked us to create something with a wedding theme.

i decided to make a wedding card.  i used the stamp, in stiches,to create the background on blue card stock. i used the rubber stamp dandelion duo on the center of the large flower shape.  then i stamped the sentiment love travels and cut out only the word love to place on the tando chipboard bird that i painted.

stampotique challenge time

this week at stampotique, the challenge was set up by me.  i love polka dots and circles, so i asked everyone to create something using polka dots.
i used a my stacked cup stamp, as well as my scooter girl, which was used to create the top border. i just inked the lower portion of the for the wheel section and stamped it repeatedly across the top of the envelope.  
i used paint pens to color in the stamped images to make my own patterning so i could add lots of dots.
i hope you have fun with this polka dot challange and decide to join in on the fun.  you can find all about the details by clicking the above link.  If you play you will have a chance to win a $30.00 gift certificate towards Stampotique stamps, and really, who couldn't use more stamps?!
