Coffee Shaker Card

First Shaker Card

Now You might be able to figure out how to do 
a Shaker card on your own 
But it helps if you watch Erika's Video 

Cartridge- From My Kitchen 
Sentiment - TPC Studio Coffee Cafe 
Peachy Keen face Wide Eyed Kid 1 1/8 
White Gelly Roll
Cheeks - Stampin' up chalk 
Mouth - Staples Permanent Markers 
Paper - Pressed Petal Casina & Antique Attic Solids
Michael's Rhinestones
And Coffee Beans from the Maui Coffee Co.
I called Raven and asked  "Do you have any thing to put in the middle?"
She said "Mom you have something that you can use." 
Then listed a number of things 
That is when the idea to use coffee beans came from.
I knew where to find those: LOL 
I have never used this cartridge and I really wanted to use 
the Kitchen paper 
Hope you all like it as much as I do

Scrapalicious USA Challenge 13

I went into my scrap drawer to I see what I had.
I picked strips that seemed to go together. 
I used Memento Cantaloupe on the edge of the card, 
And then around each strip. 
I went around the background paper with a 
orange permanent Staples marker. 
The background paper is from one my my favorites 
Safari Kids Cardstock Matstack. 
Believe - heidi grace clear words stickers 
Twine - the Twinery 
I really like the clean lines 
and how the colors all came together
hope you do as well

Market Street - Sketch Challenge 4

Well I just got back from a great vacation
in Vegas with my BF & her husband.
I wanted to send them a
Thank you card
Not only for a wonderful time, but also for the
Keurig Coffee Maker that they gave me!
Fabulous Cup of Coffee
I used Market Street’s (MS) Paisley stamped with
Studio G’s white pigment ink
The Sentiment stamp Simple Joy (MS) Stamped
with Memento Tuxedo Black
Twine from the Twinery

Paper from my stash
In various shades of grey
Red Stickles on the hearts

And of course all put together with my ATG Gun.
 2nd Card - this was made first 
but soon realized that I had missed the 
various layers so I then made the one that is on top 
I realized that I didn’t see that there were several layers
I used many of the items on the first card I shared with you
And the following items as well
The Purple paper – Stampin’ Up
Adhesive Gems – K&Company
Hearts colored in with Staple’s Metallic pens
Hope you like it as much as I do!

PK Let's Face it Friday - Plentiful Patterns


Instead of Christmas in July
I decided to do a Halloween Card
Seeing that the pattern of the paper had circles
I decided to make a circle for the PK Mini Ghost

It is the first time I used this stamp
Oh, I will be using it again. 
I know it is not scary at all 
but I think it is super cute! 

I was luck enough to win the eerie 
greeting card kit at a crop, I attended last year with my youngest.
I took the basic idea and changed it up for this challenge
The black glitter paper - Pressed Petal Coffee Talk Solids
Assorted open stock paper pack 
I went around the edge of the white circle 
with grey chalk from Stampin' Up 
Circles were cut with Martha Steward's circle cutter.
Red Stickles 
The paper was cut with Kraft Edge Deckle scissors
Which I never use
They are just sitting in my craft room gathering dust 
Letters - MakingMemories - 
metro mini shimmer alpha 
Pumpkin colored with Prisma color pencils 
Blended with - stampin' up pen
Circle popped up with
Recollections Foam adhesive mini circles
