Honeycomb Happiness for Pals Paper Arts

IMG_3091-001

It’s Thursday, and time to play with the Sketch Team at Pals Paper Arts!  This week the talented Patti MacLeith has a sketch for us.  I LOVE Patti’s sense of style, and this sketch is a reflection of it. Isn’t it fabulous!!!

PPA-290-Mar03

I just adore this yummy Ice Cream Cone pattern from the Birthday Bouquet collection.  Pairing it with the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set resulted in an adorable card for which I have a plan. This card will travel with me to the dog show at Purina Farms this weekend,  and will be randomly handed out to someone whom I spy doing something nice.  I can’t wait to see the look on someone’s face when I give them this card!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
When folded, this card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ high.

Who cannot help but smile when they see these adorable Honeycomb Embellishments!  It’s like being in Honeycomb Heaven!  And although you can’t tell from the photograph, the Crumb Cake sugar cones were given a little sparkle courtesy of Clear Wink of Stella.

Although my first instinct was to reach for Whisper White card stock on which to stamp the sentiment, I opted for Blushing Bride instead.  I am one who usually stamps sentiments on white or vanilla, but this time I felt Blushing Bride added a softness and sweetness, especially when paired with Blushing Bride Satin Ribbon from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit.   And isn’t the paper clip with Rose Red bow cute? I thought it was a great little “pop” of color.

IMG_3091-003

Of course, every card needs a “bit-o-bling”.  These sequins are also from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit.  It is a wonderful little collection of embellies to have on hand.

IMG_3091-004

Although this card is on the feminine side, I will  not hesitate to hand it to a deserving guy.  If he passes it on to a woman in his life, maybe – just maybe – it will bring a smile to her face, too!

Jackie and I are off to the Greater St. Louis Boxer Club Specialty Show and the Belle City Kennel Club Winter Classic shows in Gray Summit, MO.  This is such a beautiful show site.  Although we will be working hard on Friday, with two shows in one day, I am sure we will still have time to relax and take in our surroundings.

As always, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Weekly Deals, Retired Items and Boxers

Weekly Deals
March 1 – 7, 2016

It’s Tuesday, and time for the Weekly Deals! My personal favorites are the Tin of Cards Project Kit and the Red Foil Sheets.  I held a Tin of Cards class this winter and it was a big hit.  I loved the cards so much that I ordered a second kit, which my son, Brady, and I put together.  He LOVES kits!  As for the Red Foil, now is the time to stock up for holiday cards!  It’s never too early!

Help!  I STILL have too much retired stuff! Stuff that has overrun the music room.  Stuff that has invaded Brady’s bedroom.  And stuff which seems to be cloning itself in the recesses of my basement studio.

I have consolidated all of the retired items I currently have for sale into one easy document.  Here is the link:

Boxer Fun

The last three times Jackie has been in the ring, he has been named Reserve Winners Dog.  His time is coming!  Let’s hope it’s this weekend at the Greater St. Louis Boxer Club Specialty in Gray Summit, MO!  Enjoy these pictures of Anscha-Happy Tail’s You Don’t Know Jack.

Of course, show dogs must be in tip-top physical shape.  Here is Jackie working out on the treadmill.

Jackie knows that cuddle time is important to one’s mental well-being…especially when it’s with a beloved family member like Uncle Brody.

One should never forget the importance of being in harmony with nature. Jackie takes the time to watch birds at the window every day.

Play time is also good for one’s soul. How about a little hide and seek, Jackie style! “I’m hiding, now find me!”

And the end result of such a balanced life is a handsome young man!
