PB Week - Here Comes Christmas

It's Penny Black Week at Stamper's Dream and I'm so excited! I love Penny Black and Michelle has all the new Slapstick stamps in her store. The one that I used on my card today is called Here Comes Christmas. I added ultrafine pearl glitter to all the falling snowflakes and snow on the ground with some Diamond Glaze. The DP is by Memory Box and the card base is Prism Twilight Dark. The main image is up on foam tape.

Check out Michelle and Amy's blogs because they're showing some AMAZING Penny Black projects today.

Here's the inside where I used one of my JustRite Merry Little Christmas sentiments. I thought it went really well with all the falling snow on the PB stamp. The circle with the snowflake is up on foam tape over the larger circle.

Ornament Chickadee

Good morning! I'm still away in Atlantic City (hopefully sleeping in a bit, too!), but here's a card I haven't posted to my blog yet. It's one that I made when I was part of the Dirty Dozen. The theme that month was "Chick-Lit" and we were to make cards that related to chickens or literature. My daughter's favorite poem is by Emily Dickenson and it's called "Hope." The poem starts off with "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches on the soul..."



The Ornament Chickadee was stamped twice in Memento Tuxedo Black onto white CS, and one was popped up on dimensionals. The ornament was stamped twice onto the Wassail DP, one was paper pieced over the base image and then a second one was popped up on dimensionals, too.

Starting tomorrow, it's Penny Black Week at Stamper's Dream so be sure to hop around to all the blogs and check things out. Here's the schedule:

Monday: Michelle, Amy, and me
Tuesday: Becca, Tosh, Michelle
Wednesday: Laurie, Michelle, and me
Thursday: Silke, Laurie, Michelle
Friday: Michelle, Tosh, Amy

Oh, and here's a peek at some brand spankin' new JustRite stamps that are COMING SOON to Stamper's Dream. They'll be available in the store by mid November!






Thanks for stopping by!

Apple Crisp & Emma

Yep, another recipe card! Hope you're not sick of them because I have LOTS more to make and share. This is a recipe from my mother-in-law and it's REALLY yummy!



I thought Apple Emma (LOVE her!) from ATS would be perfect to go on this recipe card. I have the digital version of Emma so I sized it on the computer, printed it on PTI Select CS, and colored her with prisma pencils. The recipe was printed on regular printer paper.

My oldest daughter's 21st birthday is this weekend (yeah, OMG!) so we're having a little "girls weekend" and taking her to Atlantic City! We're hoping to catch a show and then on Sunday we have some spa appointments lined up for all of us before we head home. I can't wait!

SUPPLY LIST ~
Digi Image: Apple Emma from All That Scraps
Paper: Riding Hood Red, PTI Select White, Bella Rose DP
Accessories: Prisma Pencils, Gamsol, Button, Thread, Adhesive Rhinestones, Green Ribbon, Oval and Scallop Oval Nestabilities

Have yourselves an AWESOME weekend!
