It's so much fun when a new catalog comes out! I love getting to play with new papers so much! This is just one of many cards I have already made with the First Edition Specialty paper (121878). You will also notice that I have a pretty flower element on this card. It was easy to make with punches. I used the Fancy Flower punch (118073) to punch out some Marina Mist dsp from the Subtles dsp stack (117152). Then I used the 5-Petal Flower punch (119880) to punch the First Edition Specialty paper (121878). I tied some Linen Thread (104199) through a black button from the Neutrals designer buttons collection (119743) and attached it using a Mini Glue Dot (103683). Here is a list of the other supplies and tools I used:<br />
Very Vanilla cardstock (101650)<br />
Basic Black cardstock (121045)<br />
Marina Mist cardstock (119682)<br />
Big Shot (113439)<br />
Square lattice embossing folder (119976)<br />
Top note die (113463)<br />
Basic black classic ink (101179)<br />
bone folder (102300)<br />
Snail adhesive (104332)<br />
Paper cutter (104152)<br />
Stamping sponge (101610)<br />
Dimensionals (104430)<br />

Here is what I made yesterday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdNJeDVcTruiVVoh-2IBnS_Y8wNSM9CSf4OxePeSrMDkz83BT9jNDy5HVFL77pqO_1_aPLoMNvhOpzDyg9FO-Q0IR0HtBfkLyiRXxZOhvHYnBVMID7GQpHEUH0iSw_pl41QRxrON-p11Bl/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdNJeDVcTruiVVoh-2IBnS_Y8wNSM9CSf4OxePeSrMDkz83BT9jNDy5HVFL77pqO_1_aPLoMNvhOpzDyg9FO-Q0IR0HtBfkLyiRXxZOhvHYnBVMID7GQpHEUH0iSw_pl41QRxrON-p11Bl/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I used whisper white card bases for all the cards. The other layers are bashful blue, pretty in pink and certainly celery. I stamped the Baby steps stamp in black and stamped off once to match the basic gray cardstock and (retired) dsp. Its hard to tell from the picture, but I also used my vanilla smootch spritz on the textured cardstock and the stamped image layers. Under the dsp layer I used my scallop trim border punch to "sweeten" up the cards a bit. I like how they turned out.Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-9111116589331117812010-12-26T18:09:00.000-06:002011-04-02T10:40:13.699-05:00Baby shower cards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgFsBB0d76dYeuiFllUaX0Hss9vCq6zU896IsNm-PKKZ7W8AXL6zazEfk7g8q5qxSerHs7TneXbE9RGPZLxJollybxivY0Da7csOTq5TvmilIBEpa4pvCwHBsl9Ex8u72vM42X_iDl84h/s1600/486.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555148087684290338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgFsBB0d76dYeuiFllUaX0Hss9vCq6zU896IsNm-PKKZ7W8AXL6zazEfk7g8q5qxSerHs7TneXbE9RGPZLxJollybxivY0Da7csOTq5TvmilIBEpa4pvCwHBsl9Ex8u72vM42X_iDl84h/s200/486.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I made these cute cards with the Baby Steps stamp set I got in my SU! starter kit.

I finally decided to just do the mini-album (6x6) digitally. I used Photoshop Elements 7 and a cute doggie kit from <a href="http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/PrintLab/pl_categoryHome.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&catOID=-12483">Epson creative zone</a>.

I have completed several pages this week. Most- but not all of my supplies used were from Stampin' Up! I love the retired Wintergreen dsp from SU! I used a retired dsp called Holiday Harmony also. There was a matching accents and elements "sticker" set called Hand Selected that I used on the two page layout with the Holiday Harmony paper. I used my 5-petal flower punch, ticket corner punch, and photo corner punch- all from SU! See Elisa- it's not hard.</div></div></div></div>Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-13870927968805960532008-06-26T14:30:00.000-05:002011-04-02T10:40:13.721-05:00Finished the mini-albumI just finished my mini-album dedicated to my doggie Tinker. She passed away in November after a very brief illness. She was only 9 years-old. I miss her like crazy. Please scroll down the page to view the mini-album in slideshow form. It is a "paper bag" album made with SU! Apple Cider DSP and matching cardstock (really rust, river rock, wild wasabi and chocolate chip). The pull-outs also have non-SU! flowers and brads. I used my round tab punch from SU! for the pull-out tabs. The album is tied together with River Rock double-stitched ribbon.

We spent about 2 weeks in Richardson visiting family. Elisa and I got to do quite a bit of crafting (though it is never really enough). We tried to focus mainly on scrapbooking this time. We did make a few cards (since it was Father's Day), and we made our first "card candy". I used Berry Bliss dsp by Stampin' Up! and Elisa used a retired SU! dsp. I can't think of the name right now. I used Styled Silver hph and she used Pewter.</div></div>Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-79363470723918287942008-06-02T10:50:00.001-05:002011-04-02T10:40:13.726-05:00Filing cabinet inserts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTg1L2gGgcjKyrpWGDtnvfmNNz7zdcCrG11U-UJkxSp6eJhvTo2L1_eJV5UYJbjHlnnVPC-2uXyhXDMAOCKJdeWne7fThTe07d91NQhRyyhNA5nndCrwPJKvVAacwfJndpwMaSUIgW5SX/s1600-h/DSC02387.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207312453686976194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTg1L2gGgcjKyrpWGDtnvfmNNz7zdcCrG11U-UJkxSp6eJhvTo2L1_eJV5UYJbjHlnnVPC-2uXyhXDMAOCKJdeWne7fThTe07d91NQhRyyhNA5nndCrwPJKvVAacwfJndpwMaSUIgW5SX/s320/DSC02387.JPG" border="0" /></a> I was hating the little labels in my filing cabinets at work so I made these. They slide in to the slots and look really cute. I haven't labeled them yet because I may change around what is in my files after summer vacation.<br />I used Notations DSP from SU! and non-SU! flowers and brads.Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-6412840056764135542008-06-02T10:50:00.000-05:002011-04-02T10:40:13.729-05:00Progressive scrapbook page<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM1ENvLVhI64fnjXmTTtbCgC-R8TgCd57Fo7WYdXqrZNULC-3o8qT0T6PWBsnx2BTg1GlD1hIRHPxw0Jn7yHTH93St9Cvezy1RP4gPbZOfceoamD4PXiMTfHPcLWPyeVDN9VcdbQ7leC6r/s1600-h/DSC02404.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207314072889646834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM1ENvLVhI64fnjXmTTtbCgC-R8TgCd57Fo7WYdXqrZNULC-3o8qT0T6PWBsnx2BTg1GlD1hIRHPxw0Jn7yHTH93St9Cvezy1RP4gPbZOfceoamD4PXiMTfHPcLWPyeVDN9VcdbQ7leC6r/s200/DSC02404.JPG" border="0" /></a> I wanted to try a progressive page. You start by making a 6x6 page. Then you add that page to an 81/2x11 page. Then that goes on a 12x12. I used materials from a scrapbooking "kit" I got for Christmas. Elisa will recognize the stuff.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LISahrjB5wLcYYuYPr_Q7IQ7cdK-y_knL9_4rBwMm2FDVsucrT1yjbmTg7I2ga1T5WAI-jGK9mzh_P_M0WAptrXzV2kUe3VagHjt81EkwyvMdXmhBP27pj7lZokMFtZCcxYEdr8mCZmK/s1600-h/DSC02403.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207313875321151202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LISahrjB5wLcYYuYPr_Q7IQ7cdK-y_knL9_4rBwMm2FDVsucrT1yjbmTg7I2ga1T5WAI-jGK9mzh_P_M0WAptrXzV2kUe3VagHjt81EkwyvMdXmhBP27pj7lZokMFtZCcxYEdr8mCZmK/s200/DSC02403.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFE5bY4YqYIVNe4xjZXphzRgCa1lruyq-7zgrNhWM9shA1TxY_IUuQ4V1eZ4yUkWHDwvZIlhiQ0KeCZMcNSD2jP_vSXBBjYEK40RmQHZzv1Cr6elkG2oHvGUBx1jSKeU_cuVahwQeNETtT/s1600-h/DSC02402.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207313647687884498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFE5bY4YqYIVNe4xjZXphzRgCa1lruyq-7zgrNhWM9shA1TxY_IUuQ4V1eZ4yUkWHDwvZIlhiQ0KeCZMcNSD2jP_vSXBBjYEK40RmQHZzv1Cr6elkG2oHvGUBx1jSKeU_cuVahwQeNETtT/s200/DSC02402.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-28478360739731332042008-04-14T20:54:00.000-05:002011-04-02T10:40:13.731-05:00SCS challenges<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHpLfHfE7RkUDDkN3lSb9mAJ62wFyX4NuevFi9zMDaIgTkb_C2Oje7Xh0hZGVjd4u_lJdZmGch4bhJDG_y2S9X6CUyGEijirjphTUcGOIj2KHV7FWRid4LDlJAzreAojbFUEPsE40kWqGm/s1600-h/DSC02370.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189286232831584610" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 201px" height="211" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHpLfHfE7RkUDDkN3lSb9mAJ62wFyX4NuevFi9zMDaIgTkb_C2Oje7Xh0hZGVjd4u_lJdZmGch4bhJDG_y2S9X6CUyGEijirjphTUcGOIj2KHV7FWRid4LDlJAzreAojbFUEPsE40kWqGm/s320/DSC02370.JPG" width="260" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNB3Dfki4saxjasHyZ7VAjNoUyAYskD0iteR5PU4DPJqt2UQ7Qggszq7QF0DdckOgqX-mwknJZjlBAwjkLbrN8NPQbpvz3LuPLzsAt2HoBkKQfn-urJv_dD7B9LqEh4XDfYK-OF4OaaJyS/s1600-h/DSC02329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189286056737925458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 244px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" height="212" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNB3Dfki4saxjasHyZ7VAjNoUyAYskD0iteR5PU4DPJqt2UQ7Qggszq7QF0DdckOgqX-mwknJZjlBAwjkLbrN8NPQbpvz3LuPLzsAt2HoBkKQfn-urJv_dD7B9LqEh4XDfYK-OF4OaaJyS/s320/DSC02329.JPG" width="262" border="0" /></a>I have recently submitted two cards to Splitcoaststampers challenges.

I used a Very Vanilla base for my card. Matted on top of that is Chocolate Chip, then Bashful Blue, then Cameo Coral. I ran the coral through my crimper because I hadn't used it for a while. I tied some Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon around the layers before adhering it to the card base. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from So Many Scallops on vanilla with Chocolate Chip then punched it out with my scallop circle punch. This card will be for my Mother's birthday April 25th unless I make something I like better before then.Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-10101961512298007062008-03-09T19:00:00.000-05:002011-04-02T10:40:13.736-05:00DSP cards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDlSCujj8JKrH4VroSK4pTa2C0sUethnSDNt3KUEZF0IktMX7qlNV6CAVjY1h_Uws7y-1gVZCUks57RmKiUOBgtikshzC58u2eOAKAopKngJc0jl_yjZ0oJnZq7zXVZcZBIuGXL-84qNjI/s1600-h/DSC02315.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175727909304275890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDlSCujj8JKrH4VroSK4pTa2C0sUethnSDNt3KUEZF0IktMX7qlNV6CAVjY1h_Uws7y-1gVZCUks57RmKiUOBgtikshzC58u2eOAKAopKngJc0jl_yjZ0oJnZq7zXVZcZBIuGXL-84qNjI/s320/DSC02315.JPG" border="0" /></a> So I made this card the other day along with 3 others that match. This one is my favorite of the 4. I used Stampin' Up! Notations #2 DSP, River Rock CS, Wild Wasabi double-stitched ribbon and Hodge Podge Hardware. The Happy Birthday stamp is one I got at HL and it is made my Stampabilities. The other cards I made have the same layout but with small differences. There is one more on River Rock but the DSP is turned horizontally and I used an oval HPH piece. The other two are on Wild Wasabi CS, one with the DSP vertically and one horizontally. Both have HPH but I didn't have More Mustard ribbon so I cut cardstock to "look" like ribbon. The Wild Wasabi mounted cards do not have the Happy Birthday stamp on them. Instead I used the small flower in the Office Accoutrement set and stamped a background image on the lower half of the card in Versamark(R). Thanks for looking!<br /><br /><div></div>Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309446824241846266.post-22399737469060159002008-03-09T18:00:00.000-05:002011-04-02T10:46:41.093-05:00My First Blog!I <strong>need</strong> more paper. Hee Hee. I really have plenty, but you know how it is. When I see pretty or interesting paper, something just comes over me. It could be the design or the colors. Paper is the cornerstone of my favorite hobby. I am a hobby paper-crafter. Being a school teacher I also use a lot of paper at work too. Notebook paper, construction paper, copy paper in white and other colors. My students and I use a lot of paper. Now I realize that the word <strong>need</strong> is maybe an exaggeration. My husband is very sweet and supportive of my hobby, but he does tease me when I say that I <strong>need</strong> something. He likes to point it out especially when my 4 year-old son says he <strong>needs</strong> something. I wonder where he gets that from? <span style="color:#ff0000;">Note: This blog was origianally called I Need More Paper.</span>Elainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419423599289499667noreply@blogger.com2
