Clearance Rak from Stampin'Up!

OMG! I love looking at the clearance racks...don't you? But this clearance rack is even easier, you can do it from home, and you don't have to stand in front of one of those mirrors that goes all around you to see if anything fits! Stampin' Up! is one size fits all!!!!

Who hasn't got a stamper on their Christmas list that needs a few stocking stuffers. Who has an awesome teacher that you could donate some goodies to the classroom? Who just loves a bargain?

The thing is you have to go through my website and place the order through my on-line store. Click on the Shop Now button on the top right, and then when the next window opens, click on the Clearance Rack link and it will show you all the goodies. Keep checking back, as items will be added, and also items are first come first served.

Yuk card and a little something to make me feel better!

Happy birthday Card / Mojo Monday sketch

Happy Monday,

One card before I put my head down (for real) and do my home works...Big presentation tomorrow that I have yet to start :-(

Challenges: Mojo Monday (sketch) and SP Color Combo.

Ingredients: Chip Board, Ballet Blue craft ink and card stock, Soft Suede ribbon and card stock, Basic Gray Designer paper, vellum paper, Whisper White Craft Ink and embossing powder, Clear embossing powder, heat tool, adhesive, dimensionals, crop a dile, eyelets and buttons.

Enjoy!, I'll use this one for my nephew's birthday in December...never too early to get ready!

Inkspirations Birthday's Colours made me Smile.

Sunday already... A few challenges: Inkspiration (colours), Stamps and Smiles - The fresh batch (sketch), Wacky Wednesdsay (cutting out) and Pile it On (Birthday card)

It does not happen very often that I like the card right away, but this time, we had a successful result:-) I was thinking about adding butterflies but my hand cramped after all that cutting out, lol!!!

Ingredients: Regal Rose, Real Red, So Saffron and Whisper White card stock, Vellum paper, Same colours in classic Ink and Stampin'Write Markers, Black Stazon, Big Shot, Embossing Folder - Happy Birthday from Cuttle Bug, Grosgrain ribbon and taffeta ribbon, lots of dimensionals, coluzle system and the oval template, scissors, a button, glue dots, adhesive and a stamp-a-ma-jig. I used the Crazy for Cupcakes and Greenhouse Garden stamps sets from Stampin'Up!.

Just a quick clarification on how I have achieved the background effect...Only dry emboss the velum paper and then wrap it around the Regal Rose piece of Card stock before adhering it to your card front...voilà!

Now, I am a big kid and I couldn't wait any-longer...Just had to share this picture...My son loves it, now he will no longer freak when mommy's car (or he thinks that it is mommy's car) goes by and does not wave back!

They are the father, mother, dog and little boy decor elements from SU. I have no merit in doing this as I saw it on Stampin'With Di's blog. Except that she now lives in Arizona and did it in her rear window, up here in Canada, we still get; ice, snow, and all kind of crap on our cars that requires us to use 'scrapers' and let's face it, they would not survive the first snow fall!!! So I decided to put mine on my SUV's Hard Wheel Cover.

Want to create your own little family? Send me an email, and we will get you those cute stickers! Click on the 'Decor Element' brochure to pick your family members...kewlstamps-n-more@sympatico.ca

Not so good news, My best friend's Husband has Cancer and it's not improving :-( Just found out that it has spread to the bones...He's only 40, used to live a very active and healthy life, no smoking or drinking, going to the gym on regular basis on top of being a police officer. He was at the top of his game up till February when he went to the doctor thinking that he had pulled a muscle...

Sad that I can't be physically with them right now (distance and lack of free time) anywho, I decided to make a card for him to let them know that I'm there for them...Really want him to pull through! Both of them have been part of my life for the last 13 years. I didn't come up with this little bird idea on my own, I almost copied this card from Constantly Stamping.

One card and a few challenges: Color Chef (Orange - Gold - Vanilla), Mojo Monday (Sketch), Paper Maniac (Embossing) and CupCake Craft Challenge (3 buttons, 2 papers and 1 ribbon)

Ingredients: Pumpkin Pie card stock, Water color Paper, Gold Encore Ink, Stampin'Write markers in: More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Only Orange and Really Rust, Little leaves die cut and the Big Shot, buttons, Texture Embossing plate (SU), googly eyes (dollar store), ribbon and Alphabetically Sent stamp set from Stampology .
