<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px;"><strong>Hi there ya'll.....Happy Monday!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today's card is something that "was" new to me but not anymore. I am part of a Flickr Group and the members have a game that we play every so often. There is a hostess and she runs the game and it's called The 90-minute Scramble. What that means is that you have to create a card in 90 minutes, using at least one HeroArts stamp...and sometimes there's a twist, like the card needs to have buttons, or it needs to have the color red. So, this past Saturday's Scramble was to create a SCRAPLING....and this is what I learned....and I am sure you are wondering what a Scrapling is - a Scrapling is a card that is created with the left over piece of cardstock when you cut a 5.5 x 4.25 piece...you are left with a 1.25 x 4.25 piece and this is what I used to create the card above. This was a challenge for me because it was hard to hold back on the embellishments, and so I decided to keep the stamped image as the "REAL" embellishment and focal point. You should give this a try. What a great way to use up your leftover CS. Shout out to Stampin' Sue for being such a great hostess and for this AWESOME idea called Scraplings!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">I hope you learned something new today. Isn't that what it's all about? Learning something new and using it in a creative way....give it a try...I know that once you start creating Scraplings, you won't be able to stop....</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px;"><strong>Hey there all-</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;">Happy Monday to you. I hope that you had a great weekend. This weekend my kids were away til Sunday, so hubby and I had the house to ourselves. The only bad thing about that was trying to figure what to do and trying to cram EVERYTHING into 3 days...LOL!!! One of the things I did get to do is play with my Distress Inks and create this card using a watercolor technique. I stamped Broken China and Wild Honey on my acrylic block and spritzed it with water, and with a brush, just painted the flower. Here is a <a href="http://heroarts.com/blogs/club/2011/06/01/new-contest-watercolor-technique-video/">link</a> with a video that shows you how to do this technique. It's being done by HeroArts Artist Shari Carroll. It's really easy, so please give it a try. Just another way to add color to your cards and projects.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">Thanks for stopping by. I love it when you do. Until tomorrow....</span></strong><br />

<br />
I hope that you had a great Memorial Day Weekend and that you got some time to spend with family and friends. Did any of you get to do any card making or scrapbooking? Crafting of ay sort? I sure hope so...<br />
<br />
For today's card I combined a digital element with a stamp image. Can you guess what the digital element is? NOPE...not the HeroArts <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/products/productdetail/part_number=K5376/1571.0.1.1">Hydrandgea</a>. YEP, it's the <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/products/productdetail/Old+Letter+Writing+Printable/part_number=PT011/1571.0.1.1.101612.35525.0.0.0?pp=12&">OLD LETTER WRITING</a> in the shape of a label. HeroArts has <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/products/category/Printables/1571.0.1.1.101612.35525.0.0.0">Digital Printables</a> that are AWESOME! Their images are so true and amazing, that all it needs is some ink, or Copic Markers, or Colored Pencils, or...I could go on and on. If you get a chance, check them out. I am so sure you would love them as much as I do. And the really interesting this is that this is the VERY FIRST time that I have ever used any kind of Digital anything. It was so easy. Open the PDF, print it out on cardstock, and color and cut. Sooo much fun to use and I am now a TRUE Digi-Lover!!!<br />
<br />
I colored the flower using my PrismaColored Pencils. I inked up the label using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I am really proud of the finished product and it just goes to show that trying new things ain't so bad and more times than not, you'll surprise yourself and love the outcome! Here's to TRYING NEW THINGS...LOL!<br />
<br />
Anywho, gotta run. Thanks so much for stopping by and please, leave me some love. I really enjoy hearing from you! Have a great day!<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">There is no card post today, but I wanted to just pop in real quick and say a little something. There's no card today because my kids are out for the holiday and so, I think that it would only be fitting that too should be out - TeeHee. I will be back on Tuesday with a card post, but today I will be hangin' w/my kids doing fun stuff and getting into mayhem...LOL!!!</span></strong><br />

Hello all...<br />
Here is a card that I created for two different challenges. The first on is <a href="http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/">CAS-ual Fridays</a>. This is a great blog with an even greater DT. They inspire and give great tips and encourage you to be creative. They are also a weekly challenge blog that is dedicated to to CAS design - CLEAN and SIMPLE. So, if CAS is your style, this is the blog for you. Their challenge was to BRING the BLING - and bling could be rhinestones, pearls, glitter, stickles, etc....and this is the card that I created for this challenge.<br />
<br />
The second challenge that I am participating in is<a href="http://thecraftsmeowshop.blogspot.com/"> The Craft's Meow</a>. This is another great blog. Their challenge was to use embossing on your project - heat or dry and this is what I came up with. I dry embossed the green label using my Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder and I heat embossed the butterfly and the word sentiment using VersaMark ink and white opaque powder.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!<br />
Kimba :)<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope that you had a great weekend! It went by so quickly but I was still grateful for it. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today's card is <a href="http://www.lilypad.inlinkz.com/2011/05/13/the-craft%e2%80%99s-meow-presents-an-embossing-challenge/">The Craft's Meow Challenge</a> and it's hosted by Lily Pad Cards. The theme is embossing. Here I used the 4 Leaf Grid Background Stamp by HeroArts. I heat embossed it and then I tried to keep it simple with the sentiment and the button embellishments. I love this color combination too! Heat embossing is becoming my *new* favorite thing!!!</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here are the stamps that I used as well as other supplies.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">*HeroArts Canvas Stripe - CG196<br />
*HeroArts Large Plaid Pattern - S5447<br />
*HeroArts ClearDesign -Thank You Messages CL142<br />
*Peeled Paint Distress Ink<br />
*Antique Linen Distress Ink<br />
*Spellbinder Labels 4 Dies<br />
*Spellbinder Classic Circle Dies</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For the pattern on the circle, I stamped the Canvas Stripe Stamp VERTICAL, and then I inked the stamp again and then stamped it HORIZONTAL. I love the way it came out! I also inked the white Prima Flowers with the Peeled Paint to create olive green flowers.</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Hello all-</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Hope you all are doing great today! I typically don't post on Saturday's but I simply loved the way this card came out that I had to just share. I created this card for the HeroArts Monthly Challenge and one of the themes was using colored pencils. I used the </strong></span><a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=CG255&subCat=A02"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Striped Flower </strong></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>stamp by HeroArts and I colored it using my PrismaColor Colored Pencils. I used 3 different shades of blue and used Gamasol after coloring as it smooths and blends the colors wonderfully. The background image is also a stamp from HeroArts - </strong></span><a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=S5447&subCat=D05"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Large Plaid Background</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong> and I distessed the white cardstock using Spiced Marmalade and then stamped the plaid image using the same color.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Okay, I gotta run. In case you happened to pop by on Saturday, thanks so much. Enjoy your day as well as your weekend and see ya again on Monday!</strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hello all....</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I am posting anther post today. I just remembered that there was a card challenge that is due today and I thought that I would share with you the card that I created as well as the AWESOME website that is hosting the challenge.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The name of the website is Lily Pad Cards. You can go directly to the challenge and website <a href="http://www.lilypad.inlinkz.com/2011/04/29/inspirational-challenge-a-free-for-all-114/">HERE</a>. The challenge requirements if for us to create a card using anything from the blog as your inspiration. The card that I created above was inspired by a blog that was mentioned on Lily Pad Cards. The blog/website is <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2010/10/6/attention-yarn-lovers-the-new-york-city-yarn-crawl-is-this-w.html">The Purl Bee</a>.The really cool thing is that this store is right here in NYC - WooHoo! I am going to make it my business to stop in there and share with them how I learned about their store. It's an incredible site that shows creations that are sewn, knitted, chrochet, and more. My card is inspired by the sites header - the 2nd picture from the left with the hearts. I love the BOLD BRIGHT colors and I thought that this would be so cool to create. I love the way the card came out too!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Thanks for stopping by and if you get a chance, stop on by the Lily Pad Cards as well as The Purl Bee. The sites are amazing! Have a great day!</span></strong><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>Good morning all-</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>It's Thursday and that only means - 1 more day til the start of the weekend..WooHoo!!! I am so tired today...keep reading and you'll know why.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>I was up last night,(started at around 11pm) at my crafting desk trying to create this card "in my head" that looked awesome....but of course, it just was not coming together. I tried to follow the sketch I drew, but it was just not happening. I had the stamp and the paper and the embellishments...but when I started inking up my stamp, I just wasn't feelin' it. Anyway...it was about 1am and I went back to my desk and I picked up this stamp - HeroArts Little Feathers - and all of a sudden I came up with today's card in 15mins - NOW GO FIGURE.....(Kimba hits her head - DUH!) ...and this was not the original card I was trying to make....</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Here's what I did. I distressed lightly the white cardstock firs, layering Orange Marmalade and then layering Vintage Photo around the edges. Next, I stamped the SILHOUETTE FERN using Peeled Paint Distress Ink in a random pattern. Lastly, I stamped LITTLE FEATHERS CG202 using VersaMark ink and then heat embossed it using OPAQUE powder - the color is PERIDOT....don't you just love the way it came out??? The details of the feathers are so pretty (if I do say so myself..LOL!)</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Lastly, I added pop dots, and stamped a simple sentiment. CAS card....thanks for stopping by....and have a great Thursday!</strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Good morning and Happy Hump Day!!!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today my kids go back to school after being on Easter/Spring Break. They are not too happy about the early mornings but they do love the nice weather. This is going to be a quick post as I just got one child off to school and I have two more to go.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I created this Masculine Card as part of a challenge that I am participating it. I absolutely LOVE the way it came out. The bottom layer I created by covering the entire white cardstock with Orange Marmalade Distress Ink and then covering it with a second layer using Fired Brick Distress ink. I then stamped </span></strong><a href="http://heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=CG125&subCat=D05"><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">HeroArts Friend Definition stamp</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> using black ink, but then randomly wiped off certain areas so that when it was stamped, only certain parts of the card would have the image.....I think it adds character and dimension. I used Peeled Paint Distress ink on the tag and then sprayed it with water to get the speckles. Making masculine cards are really fun to create because it forces me to think outside the box and usually, the end result is always cool!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Thanks again for stopping by and have a great Wednesday!!!!</span></strong><br />

The colors were Red, Pink, and Light Blue. These are colors that I would not ordinarily put together but when creating the card, they seemed to work so well with each other. I tend to think that my "core style" is CAS (Clean and Simple) with hints of shabby and chic....LOL!

<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Happy Hump Day all-</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Seems like this week is flying by for me...is it for you too? I hope that you are having a fantastic day so far. I am really excited to share with you this card that took me all os 5 minutes to create. I Paper Pieced each of the gifts in the stamped image....and just incase you don't know what Paper Piecing is, it is the cutting pieces out of a design or stamped image and then layering it on paper. So, what I did way stamp the birthday cake image on 4 pieces of cardstock - Purple, Orange, Green and Yellow and then cut out each gift and then adhered it to my stamped image. I hope that I made sense and that I didn't confuse you....LOL!!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I love the end result and like I said, it was so quick to create! I hope that you give this technique a try.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Well my friends, that's all for now. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by! See ya tomorrow!</span></strong><br />

<br />
How's everything going? I hope that you are doing much better than I have been...I have been so sick for literally the last two weeks. I now feel like I getting back to old self. I have been behind in so many many post, but I promise, I will catch up.<br />
<br />
Today's card was a card that I submittend into a challenge, so I was not allowed to post it anywhere. But, now that the contest is over, I get to share my creation. I did alot of distressing using Tim Holtz's inks and I tried to keep the focus on the one stamp. That stamp is by <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=K5314&subCat=B01">HeroArts - Silhouette Fern</a> and it's so versitile. <br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your day!<br />
Kimba :)<br />

Today's card is one that I absolutely love making...and that is because I love butterflies. I am a member of the HeroArts Flickr group and one of the things they do with their group members is have this thing called 90 Minute Scrambles - you have 90 minutes to create a card, based on the theme,color, shape, etc and upload it to the gallery. This was one of the cards that I created for the challenege. It was so much fun and the amaming thing that I have learned or seen from myself is that I create better card when I am under a "time-limit" versus when I have unlimited amounts of time....go figure.</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
