Today is an EXCITING Saturday, because it is the Stampin' Sisterhood's Mother's Day HOP! Now, as I am sure you know.........Mother's Day is NOT only for Mother's, right? Of course NOT!!

Ok, a LITTLE about my creation, before you go. I used a direct to paper technique, to create my background. To make this happen, I ran distress ink right across the Kraft cardstock! My teammate Ellen did this a BIT ago? And I HAD to try it!! Thanks for the inspiration Ellen! After that was done I stamped my image and sentiment with Tuxedo Memento Ink. I finished the card off with some distressed charcoal Twinery Twine and Perfect Pearls mist! The Twine was distressed with Spun Sugar distress ink; the mist was made with Biscotti Perfect Pearls and water, in a mini mister! I added some extra photos, hoping to show you the effect? However, I don't know that they do the sparkly mist any justice!! Haha! Hope you enjoyed your stop here and now you must follow the ROUTE below to your next destination!! Have FUN!!

SISTERHOOD MONDAY!

Hey all! What is NEW? I am sitting here with the sliding glass door open and enjoying the AWESOME breeze that is drifting in!! I cannot believe it is SO nice out! Did we SKIP winter this year? I mean..........really?? WOW!
Anyway, for those of you who may not visit the Stampin' Sisterhood? I thought I would share my creation here! I had shared this over at the Sisterhood last week or so. I just LOVE how it turned out!! RUBBERNECKER sure offers a WIDE variety of stamp sets! I ended up giving this to my sister for her birthday! I warn you though, before you peek? I am STILL a little stuck on the PRE MADE Kraft cards/envies! Haha! SO, if you have had enough of them? BEWARE!! Here is my card, hope you like it!

Well? Watcha' think? Is the KRAFTY thing growing on you yet?? OR....the distressing thing, for that matter!!! I am about out of those pre-made cards, imagine that!! I will NEED to get me some more, for sure! Alrighty, my time is up for today. I must grab some lunch, before I go and pick my nephew up at pre-school. Once that is done? The CRAZYINESS starts! Kyah has Lacrosse practice, the nephews will be picked up, dinner needs decided on/made,wash needs finished, and I have a midget sports board meeting! Ahh..............let the FUN begin!! Thank you all for stopping by today! Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day! Enjoy it...................and ENJOY LIFE!

A SISTERHOOD CREATION!!

Hey all!! How are ya? Hope you are having an AWESOME weekend!! I was hanging out over at the STAMPIN' SISTERHOOD blog and thought I would stop by and SHARE here too!! I don't know if you know this, BUT, I have a LOVE for Kraft cardstock!! So, when I found a PRE-MADE card and envies set at ACMoore? I had to get it!! Imagine......50 cards and envies!! How could you go wrong? Well, I have been using them like CRAZY!! So much so? I have been trying my hand at "Copic'ing" them!! Haha!! How d'ya like that one? Huh? "Copic'ing"? LOVE it!! As I said over at the Sisterhood? That one is going to STICK, I tell ya!!
Anyway, I decided I wanted to continue my QUEST of the Clean and Simple thing! And? Here it is.........................

**GIVE A CLICK TO SEE THIS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL**

Whatcha' think? Cool, huh? I am SO psyched with how it came out! I MAY have to try some DIFF versions of this! You know.....maybe even a set? Perhaps?? Alright, here is the SCOOP on my Krafty Kreation!! I stamped some flowers from the Rubbernecker WILD FLOWER SET SKU 465 with Tuxedo Memento Ink, onto a pre-made Kraft card, and colored them in with my Copics. Then I cut it out with my Spellbinders Ovals and distressed the sides with some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Once that was done, I used my Spellbinders Labels 6 to cut out a MISC piece of patterned paper (sorry it was a scrap and I don't know the name). I distressed that with the same Walnut Distress Ink. I then took ANOTHER pre-made Kraft card and, AGAIN, distressed it with SAID ink! Haha!! After the Kraft card base was distressed, I added my sentiment from the SAME WILD FLOWER stamp set! Once everything was ready, I combined it all and added some of my FAVE twine! You guessed it, my Mandarin twine was distressed as well!! Only difference was that I distressed it with not only Walnut Stain, BUT, Old Paper and Spiced Marmalade too! Those inks are also TH Distress Inks! I HAD to distress the twine, for it did NOT quite match! AND................we all know how I am about the "matchy-matchy" thing!
I am REALLY glad you stopped by for a visit tonight!! AND.............SO happy I could share with you all!! Hope you have a WONDERFUL rest of your weekend!! Be sure to stop on over at the STAMPIN' SISTERHOOD tomorrow for their NEXT challenge!! You will DEF want to play along! Hey...........a chance at some FREE stamps is a BEAUTIFUL thing!! RIGHT? Of course!! Until next time.................ENJOY LIFE!!
