I'm Still Alive!

2011-10-15T09:32:00.000-07:00

I am still alive! Yes, I am but I have returned to my past career as a Special Education Teacher. Things will get easier in a few months, but right now I am on a learning curve after being out for 11 years! I still have my store and Copic Club so life is REALLY busy for me. I do want yo find some time to play in my craft room soon, I miss it. I also miss all my online friends.

I will be back soon!

Hugs, Julie

Christmas Mail CASE

2011-07-14T09:16:00.000-07:00

I made this card with a new stamp set from Crafty Secrets that I just added to my online store. This stamp set is very affordable with so many images to use!!! I did CASE this card from a Crafty Secrets DT member here. It is not an exact CASE but I was inspired by many of the elements on her card. Of course I colored with Copics (see color list on yesterdays post). The cardstock is AC and the paper I stamped/colored on was X-Press all from my store.

I think this will do it for Christmas in July (: With 100 degree temperatures here it was a nice escape from the extreme heat. I may have to get an iced mocha coffee at Mokka coffee shop today (:

Thanks for stopping by and Stay Cool!

Happy Hoppers Buzzy Friends Forever (BFF)

2011-07-12T15:09:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for SCS Teapot Tuesday. The destination Station is a lady recently diagnosed with cancer. I will be sending her this cheerful card along with some goodies taht I hope she will enjoy.

The Teapot challenge was to be about bees and flowers, so I was really excited to pull this cute stamp out! I used Summer paper by echo park all items from my online store. I used a white Prima so I could match the purple Copic colors found in the stamped flower. The button in the middle of the flower is basic grey. The word smile is an old $ stamp I picked up years ago.

I hope this fun card brought a smile to your face today and let's pretend I am sharing my flower with you (:

Let me know what you think!!!!!

I'm still here

2011-07-01T08:46:00.000-07:00

Just a sad note that my Grandpa passed away this past week and I developed strep throat on top of all the stress. I am looking forward to next week and feeling better again so I can stamp and color my worries away (: Just wanted all my friends in Blogger Land to know why I have been MIA.

Patchwork Fun

2011-06-14T14:31:00.000-07:00

I made this card for this weeks TLC challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I am having trouble shrinking my picture size to fit in the SCS Gallery, ugh. I used basic grey paper (patchwork type pattern), bg buttons, a house mouse stamp colored with Copics on X-Press paper all from my store.

I have had a crazy busy life lately with four kids, a dh, a business and housework out the roof! I thought I could catch up once the school year is over but between volunteering at various camps it is getting worse I think. I will be car-less tomorrow, so my hope is to do a little housework then do a little crafting all day long (: What is everyone else doing this summer?

Fun with Bags and Basic Grey!

2011-04-01T13:33:00.000-07:00

I created this bag for my Secret Sister from my D.I.V.A.S. group on SCS/FACEBOOK. I have to say I love those ladies and it was a blast to spoil my SS this round. I used a Basic Grey 12x12 Kit called Wisteria and of course I sell it in my online store (: It comes with amazing papers, beautiful alphabet stickers and as you can see very pretty stickers. The sticker sheet is 12x12 so I have many more stickers left.

I love decorating plain gift bags and making them into something extra special. I think this bag took me less than 5 minutes to complete!

Popcorn The Bear for Secret Sister

2011-03-31T10:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry about my BAD picture...it was really cold and yuck outside and I just couldn't go outside for a better picture. I had to mail this card out to my Secret Sister so no time for retakes. This is Popcorn the Bear stamp colored with Copics and covered in tan Fun Flock found in my online store. This little guy is also in stock (:
This is an inside view of this card with a little duck that comes with the set. The paper is Basic Grey.
This is a white Prima flower colored with a copic to match everything and a basic grey pearl in the middle. If you would like to learn more about our COPIC Club send me an email for more information scrapbookstoreatyourdoor@yahoo.com

Hope you enjoy this card. Let me know what you think!!!!

Thinking of You

2011-02-26T08:25:00.000-08:00

I made this card for my Secret Sister (: One of our challenges was to create a vintage themed card. I carry Crafty Secrets stamps in my online store and Thinking of You was perfect! I colored her with Copics (also from my store) and added stickles around the edges of the cardstock. The paper is Basic Grey. I LOVE the vintage feel of this paper and the pearls are also Basic Grey. The Square scallop is a Spellbinders die.

I really like the little cat stamp that comes with this set, although I am currently in a love HATE relationship with my cat. She has decided to pee pee on a few things, ugh, including both my boys new tennis-shoes! I read online that this is an emotional cry for help....really is it? I mean her name is Princess Meow Meow and she is treated as such....emotional cry for help???? I am having an emotional cry for help washing the tennis shoes in vinegar! I may be visiting the shoe store tonight if this doesn't work. Um...... Anyone want a cat?

Popcorn The Bear Gets Married!

2011-02-03T13:25:00.000-08:00

This is a card I created for a swap I attended for our local SCS ladies. I wanted a Valentines feel but with a wedding theme. I realized that I had tons of cards but no wedding cards! I used all supplies from my online store such as: Popcorn the Bear wedding stamp, Heart paper and Copics. I also brought Fun Flock in tan to the swap if anyone wanted to add teddy-bear texture to these cute bears. I sell all the Popcorn bears at a GREAT price so check them out.

An inside view of my card. Soufflé is a little duck that is Popcorn's friend and can be found on most of the stamp sets. Sooo cute!

Paper Bag Cookie Cookbook Fun!

2011-01-03T14:46:00.000-08:00

I designed this cookbook for all those favorite cookie recipes that are in 10 different cookbooks so they could be consolidated into one cute yummy looking one (: The gingerbread people were "glazed" using Glossy Accents, the word Cookies was cut out with a Cricut using grocery bags! The word Cookies was distressed with Ranger Ink, "sugared" with Stickles and topped off with Liquid Pearls as "Icing" (: YUMMY! We actually made this cookbook at my SCS Christmas Crafts workshop. It's something I host every year for all my SCS friends and local customers. We make tons of Christmas gifts all day long, eat and just a have a great day.

Card Candy Fun!

2010-10-12T18:56:00.000-07:00

I made this card candy for a food related swap on SCS. I used the Crafty Secrets stamp set Little Chef along with a few others. The paper is Apple Orchard Gingham and is double sided with apples and gingham print. I used cherry twist framers market twine for the bow on the cupcake candy. I used liquid pearls for the icing and dots around the circle. I LOVE liquid pearls and find so many uses for it! You can find most of these items in my store, so go shopping and see what's new! Scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com

Sorry I have been MIA for some time, I should be back on track and ready to stamp (: I am also ready to fire up the Recipe Card Challenge Design Team and if you or someone you know is crazy about cooking or card making send me an example of work!

2010-09-11T22:17:00.000-07:00

I am sharing a stamp with you this week in place of a card ): sniffles...I am taking a condensed graduate course right now and I have until next Monday until it is over. The worst part of it is I am not able to stamp due to the CRAZY amount of homework I am dealing with. I will be soooo happy to have this completed and I hope you will be patient with me.You can go shopping in my store and enjoy purchasing this sweet Popcorn The Bear stamp. I do have all of them in stock but probably not online (the class problem again), so if you want one that is not up just shoot me an email and I will take care of you. Hugs!

Bouquet Of Joy and Copics!

2010-08-25T10:39:00.000-07:00

I made this card for the teapot Tuesday challenge on SCS. I used the stamp set Bouquet Of Joy and colored it with Copics. This is one of my favorite stamps! I will be adding more Crafty Secret stamp sets to the store, because I love many of them. I also highlighted with a Copic Glitter pen in lavender. The bling and paper are Basic Grey all from my store. The punch is a Martha Stewart.

I am feeling much better after my surgery and my biopsy came back fine... big relief for me. Thank you for all the well wishes it meant a lot to me (: hugs

My children are all in school now and I have to say I feel REALLY lost! I do not do well with transitions so this is really discombobulating for me. DH says that I am being too hard on myself, but I only know how to be me. I am taking my first online class to get my teaching license back. It's been 10 years!!!! The class will also help me add a little pizazz to my Copic classes (it's called Presentation Pizazz) I think it will be good for me to keep my mind really busy. Hope you enjoyed my card!

Popcorn Bear and Sick Duck called Julie

2010-08-19T17:11:00.000-07:00

This is a stamp that comes with the Popcorn Bear stamp set called Bunches Of Love. Popcorn The Bear is a great value with several images and sentiments included with each set. My local customers are ordering one of each set! I am adding a few new product pages to my website and one of the will be called Popcorn the Bear. Adding product pages is so complicated that it should be done next week sometime.

I had a girly surgery today and my family is yelling at me for being out of bed, posting right now and answering customers emails, LOL! I promise to be here for everyones product needs and I really mean it, hehehe.

I am hosting an all day crop Saturday for scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com with a Copic class included, and attending a Relay For Life Crop event for a few hours that day and teaching a make and take. I am very blessed to have my best friends working with me on days like this...Thanks Sandy! I have been in bed today watching videos designed for store owners and teachers and it was all going great until my DH pointed out WHO carried the TV up three flights of steps!!!!!! I was busted just like a little kid ): Well I am coloring in bed with Copics so I guess if the shoe fits (: Okay I am being yelled at by my mom, "ARE YOU WORKING?"

Popcorn The Bear Bunches of Love!

2010-08-05T20:11:00.000-07:00

This is my twist on the flower pot card. The stamp is a Popcorn the Bear Bunches of Love. I am so excited, because I am expanding my website and Popcorn the Bear will have his own page! I colored him with Copics. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it!!!

House Mouse in a Paper Bag Card!

2010-07-26T08:50:00.000-07:00

I made this little paper bag card with basic grey paper, primas and an adorable house mouse stamp from my store http://www.scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com. I love this paper with the colors I used in this house mouse stamp. I used copics and enjoyed every minute of coloring, hehehe.

I have a crazy busy week and I can only dream of making cards and scrapbooking. Well I better get dressed for all my check up appointments today ): I hate the lady doctor!

Embossed Prima Album

2010-07-14T08:32:00.000-07:00

I made this 6x6 embossed album for my Secrete Sister. The album comes in plain chipboard but embossed on the front and back covers. I used a wine colored crayon and pink acrylic paint to create a crayon resist technique. I used Prima flowers, a charm I had on hand, liquid pearls and some pearls. The love is a cricut die cut. The ribbon is from Prima also. This album was a lot of fun to make! Enjoy

Let me know what you think!!!

Envelope card!

2010-07-12T15:34:00.000-07:00

The colors are off in my pictures, sorry. I am still investigating new cameras after my camera was viciously murdered a few weeks ago ): I made this envelope card for my secret sister. These are really fun, because you use one sheet of 12x12 paper and just create a card to fit inside. I used a retired set from Prima Marketing that I have been hoarding for some time (note it has been retired) LOL! The ribbon I still have in stock and it is so pretty to work with.

Hope you are having a wonderful summer. My Blog and work have been suffering so I can keep up with my four children. We have been having a fun summer I have to say filled with lots of camping, summer camps and fun activities with friends. Today we went to lunch with friends and to Toy Story 3, sweet movie!!!! Now we are off to have dinner with my Grandpa and their Great Grandpa (: Life is good.

Popcorn Bear colored with Copics

2010-07-11T10:30:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my Secret Sister (: I used a sweet stamp set from my store called Popcorn Bear! They are the cutest bear stamps and so affordable! I colored him with Copics also from my store. The background paper is Basic Grey. SO SORRY for the blurry picture. I am still using my 10 year old DD's camera ): You may remember that "some child" in my home (still at-large) destroyed my very expensive perfect camera that I can't afford to replace now. Yes, this summer has been a work out with 4 children plus most of my neighborhood children in and out of my home. Well it is noon and I better get dressed for the day, LOL! If you want to shop online today please check out my store. I offer the very best in stamping and scrapbooking supplies. I also do special orders so please feel free to contact me with a request, I guarantee you will get a great price and personal attention! My Store

YES!!!! I am posting again

2010-06-24T14:09:00.001-07:00

I used a crayon resist technique with acrylic paint for this album. It's hard to see in this picture but the crayon is a dark green and the paint is called tapestry wine from Apple Barrel Colors. I used white Primas from the Bucket of White Blooms from my store. If you want to create stunning Primas color white ones with Copics and you will be amazed at the results. If you need to expand or start your Copics collection, send me an email and I am sure I can customize a sweet Copic deal for you (:
The paper I used is an old Prima set but the colors and paper are stunning! I added liquid pearls to the center of these Primas. The inside pages are very simple because of who I made this for, I wanted to match her taste. I still need to add ribbon to the rings (:

More pretty paper!

I customized these white Primas to match the paper using Copics, so fun!

Well I am now using my DD camera, because some naughty child in this household destroyed my very expensive camera a few weeks ago ): The pictures are not perfect but I hope they pass (:

Envelope Type card

2010-05-04T10:59:00.000-07:00

This is an envelope type card for our Secret Sister challenge that we are doing in our Designing Divas group on SCS. I had a lot of fun with this, because it is just folding of a 12x12 DP! I did cut a card to fit inside. I will be making a few of these I am sure before it is out of my system, hehehe

Sweet Little Birdie card

2010-04-30T12:42:00.000-07:00

I made this card a few weeks ago but with my kitchen remodeling couldn't find the time to share it. I used Basic Grey paper and a stamp all from my online store. If you haven't visited in some time please take a look. I have added a lot of new great products to the store. I am also a Copic dealer so if you want a few markers that you do not see online, because I tend to sell sets and manage the Copic Club for individual markers, let me know! I promise to give you a great deal (:

Let me know what you think about this little card!

My New Countertop and Boarder Swap!

2010-04-27T15:52:00.000-07:00

As promised here is a look at my new counter-top created with Giani! I am really thrilled with the look. The images are of a Cricut boarder swap I participated in, so I thought I would show you both (: Sorry I have been MIA but my kitchen has taken a lot out of me. Also my sister is moving to Florida and I am really sad right now. I have few small things to do before I will take the big reveal picture of my kitchen but we are close.

I am taking sign ups for the next round of Copic Collector's Club! I offer fun gifts every month as well as great options for any budget. Send me an email if you want to collect or collect more Copics!

Sunflower Smooch Fun!

2010-04-13T14:00:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my Recipe Card Challenge Blog. The pull-out tag contains a recipe. I colored my House Mouse image with Copics. This stamp is called Sunflower Smooch! The paper is 6x6 basic grey. All supplies can be found in my store.

I have had a very busy few weeks! DH is feeling better after two rounds of antibiotics. My DD had a great 10th birthday and I finished my kitchen cabinet remodel which was a BIG job. Now we are resurfacing our kitchen countertops with a new paint alternative called Giani, it looks like granite! A friend of mine did it in her kitchen and I was really impressed with it. Our homes previous owners had odd taste (I am trying to be nice) so I am fixing the oddness in my kitchen (: We bought a new very cool sink and faucet last night. I am thinking of resurfacing my light fixtures to match everything ( I watch HGTV a lot, hehehe). I will take pictures when we are completed with this overhaul. I am painting tonight, an olive green color (:

Quiet Evening With Friends!

2010-04-05T15:22:00.000-07:00

I hope you had a wonderful Easter! I spent my weekend in the ER and home with a sick hubby. He is doing a little better today but still really weak. He had strep-throat and a double ear infection. We are also in the middle of remodeling our kitchen, so life is a little messy here!

This card was made for my Recipe Card Challenge Blog. This is actually a recipe card, but could easily be a card. I used a 12x12 piece of paper scored in four equal sections and folded to create two pockets for recipes. The pockets could also be used to stuff candy or a poem. The paper, Copics used to color the image and stamp are from my store at scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com. I added all the NEW House Mouse stamps just released to my store so please take a look they are adorable! Also, if you are in the market for Copics send me an email!

Ornamental Recipe card!

This is a recipe card that I made for my Recipe Card Challenge Blog. This is the last week for a chance to win some sweet blog candy so check it out! I stamped all the images in Versa Mark and embossed with Ranger black embossing powder. You can find this powder in my store, and I have to tell you that I use it all the time (: I used the Ornamental stamp set from BoBunny and an older SU sentiment. The polka dots are from the large polka roller doodle. Check out my store for all of the supplies used in this card! Hope you like it (:

Have a great day!

Sweet stamps and Copics

2010-03-26T06:35:00.000-07:00

I made this card just for fun. I guess you can say I have candy and sweet treats on the mind (: I found this stamp set a year ago at M's in the $1 stamp bin. It's pretty sad that I own a stamping/scrapbook store and I still can't pass up these little studio g's (: Speaking of my store I have boxes of newly released products in my office waiting to be offered on my website. I am going to have to resist the urge once again to say one for me the rest for the store, LOL! I only order what I personally use and love so it's really hard sometimes to stay on a budget. Also if you know anyone interested in collecting Copics, please send them to my store! I offer a customized membership that works off of a persons existing Copic collection, taste and budget. I love to give my customers a personalized experience so pass the word on!

Well, I hope to create today. I am working on a few Cricut boarder swaps that I am in on SCS. Hope you all have a great day and great weekend !!!!

Challenge Card and Blog Candy Alert!

2010-03-23T17:52:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for yesterday's challenge on SCS. The challenge was to create a card with your childhood memories in mind. This card reminds me of a little table and chair set that I had. I remember having tea parties and coloring at my little table. It had similar colors and patterns as in this June Bug paper from Basic Grey. I tore the flower and placed them in layers. The word stamps are from studio g. I love the patterns and colors from my childhood and I really enjoyed making this 70's inspired card.

I also wanted to alert you to some sweet Blog Candy on my Recipe Card Challenge Blog! Go check it out! Also go shopping at scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com for this cool paper.

Recipe Card's Disney Style!

2010-03-08T15:51:00.000-08:00

I made this card using a Cinderella stamp from my store. This image, brads and ribbon were colored with a matching blue Copic. Yes, you can color metal and all sorts of ribbon with Copics. The ribbon I used was a off white satin ribbon that I would have never used, but by coloring it I created a custom match for my card. If you would like to collect Copics but already have a few our Club would be a perfect option for you! Email me to sign up!
This card uses Spaceboy 6x6 paper from my store. The stamp is also a stamp from my store. I carry many Disney stamps so check it out! I made this recipe at my Christmas Crafts workshop and all the ladies went crazy over it. The best part it is soooo easy!

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite recipes as well as the cards (:

Copic Coloring Therapy and Grape Dreams

2010-03-01T20:49:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite House Mouse images called Grape Dreams. I love nothing more than to sleep (: I colored him with Copics and used Hot Tropical and Christmas Green Primas as embellishments. I colored basic metal brads with a Copic to match the card and added them to the center of the Primas. I really love using Copics on metal! I added a little purple fiber to the top of the card to give it a little more texture. The stamp is from an older SU set.

I made this card a few days ago with relaxation in mind, but am lucky to finally be posting it at 11:00 at night. My four children were off school today due to an Illinois holiday that no one really gets (: Casimir Pulaski Day . I really liked this holiday when I was a child, but now the tables have turned and I am the mom ): No fun now. Anyway last month when the children were home due to a snow day, I deleted my entire store newsletter that I was ready to send out. It is sort of funny now after I reconstructed it today and sent it out for March. The children REALLY rattle my brain! Thank God for Copics, because coloring reduces my stress (:

Hot Chocolate with Copics!

2010-02-22T14:06:00.000-08:00

I made this recipe card for my Recipe Card Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge is for Chocolate Lovers. I am very proud to announce that I was Copic Certified last Sunday so I am REALLY loving all the Copics in my store. Lorie went with me to the certification in Kansas and although we had to brave the ice and snow we had a blast! I wish I could meet all my online friends in person (: We had so much fun and our teacher Sally Lynn was just wonderful! She is a gifted teacher as well as being a gifted artist. I am getting NOTHING done today after being so inspired.

I also wanted to let you all know that Scrapbook Store at Your Door is sponsoring the House Mouse and Friends Challenge Blog right now, so you should go check out the fun candy I am offering! House Mouse, Gruffies and Happy Hopers are wonderful to color with Copics so join my Copic Collector's Club as well!

Get Well Noah!

2010-02-09T14:32:00.000-08:00

This sweet little card is for a friend's three year old little boy who just spent some time in the hospital sick ): I am planning on making him some cookies to go along with this card now that he is a lot better and eating. The medicine in the bottle is dimetapp with purple stickles (: I used basic grey paper and large colorful brads. The scalloped squares were made with spellbinders. All supplies from my store. We had a snow day here, so I will be washing snow play clothes for days (: Hope you liked this card.

Baby Boy Scrapbook

2010-02-02T14:47:00.000-08:00

These are some of the pages to the scrapbook I made for a long time friend who is having a baby this month. At first I was only going to give her supplies for her baby album, but I decided the afternoon before the shower to make his scrapbook (: I used supplies from my store and my cricut. I used Copics to color the die cuts.

This is a close up of a bottle die cut that I colored using my Copics. I have always chalked my die cuts, but I really LOVE the look of the Copic markers (:

If The Shoes Fit!

This is the card I made for our local SCS shoebox swap a few weeks ago. We had so much fun. This is how I feel when I have a day to myself (: All supplies are from my store. I colored this sassy bunny with Copics and added stickles to her shoes and necklace for added glam (: The Big box of Copic Club Copics came today and let me just say some ladies have a lot to look forward to in their mail (: Have a great day!!!!!

Warm Your Soul!

2010-01-25T19:19:00.000-08:00

This is a recipe card that I made for my Recipe Card Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge was to create recipe cards for warm drinks to warm the soul. This recipe card doubles as a get well card with a handy hot drink recipe to help a cold. I just love Changito and Changito Coffee is my favorite! I just added him to the store so go check him out. I also used one of my favorite 6x6 paper pack called Nook and Pantry from Basic Grey. The sentiment stamp can also be found in my store. I used a pair of old antique decorative scissors to cut around my image and layers. I know decorative scissors are not in style, but I still use my antique scissors from time to time, shhh (: Well I have a busy day tomorrow working out custom Copic Club sets for my Copic Collector's Club members. I have to say I really enjoy all the beautiful colors Copic offers! It is a pleasure to pass them on to good homes (: I hope you are having a great start to your week. I feel like I am running at full speed, and it is just not fast enough. Maybe we can all take time to relax this week a little (: Maybe I can play the Wii (:

Gooey Butter Cookies!

2010-01-19T17:14:00.000-08:00

This is a seriously yummy recipe! If you want an easy but wonderful cookie you will want to try gooey butter cookies. Gooey butter cake was invented in my area (St. Louis, Mo) and is a WONDERFUL dessert! I made this card for the Recipe Card Challenge Blog (link on the side). Our store has it's own category for recipe card and food related supplies!!!! We also sell Copics. If you want a set that you do not see on the website just send us an email and we can set you up (: Hope you enjoy this recipe!!!! Let me know what you think (:

Challenge Crazy!

2010-01-11T13:55:00.000-08:00

This card was made for two challenges today; the Technique challenge on SCS, and a card giveaway challenge with my Ladies Ink Group on SCS. I used one of my favorite House Mouse stamps and I made it a scratch and sniff chocolate. I used a sugar free Splinda chocolate powder with my clear embossing powder. It looks like real chocolate after the embossing (: YUMMY! This paper is Carefree hearts by Heidi Swapp and the Primas are from my online store as well. I used my favorite pearl stickers for the centers of the Primas also found in my store. The image was colored with Copics, my favorite (: I hope you have enjoyed my card and have a great day!

My first Tear Bear

2010-01-08T13:05:00.001-08:00

This is my first attempt at a Tear Bear. I am a little disappointed that I wasn't able to achieve a really fuzzy look with my mulberry paper. The Mulberry paper I used is from my store and is double sided with tan and dark brown, so it is great if you want two colors to work with. I made a male brown bear that I plan on using in a camping scrapbook page (: She is really cute in person but not that fuzzy.
I used a new paper from my store from heidi swapp called Carefree-hearts. This paper is double sided and soooo cute! You will have to add this paper to your collection like I have (:

I am so excited because I have a ton of new products to add to my store in the next few weeks (: I had a large shipment of goodies arrive last night (: I better get back to work!

2009-12-10T12:37:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of a few Christmas Tags that I have made. I LOVE gingerbread houses, so I used the cricut cart. stretch your imagination and spellbinders scalloped oval from my store.

It's That Time of The Year!

2009-12-02T13:49:00.000-08:00

Happy December! I love pulling out all my Christmas Stamps (: I am preparing for a big Christmas Crafts Workshop at my house on the 12th. We will be making some amazing projects with supplies from my store that will be perfect for gift giving. I am keeping the line up of projects under wraps, but I will share pictures after the 12th. I am so excited if you can't tell (:

This is a fun card I made using Basic Grey paper and a new Poinsettia stamp that I carry in my store. I am working on a Holiday page category on my website, but for now the Holiday items are scattered around the pages. My website is growing!

My 6 year old little boy just came in to tell me that a candy cane broke from the tree so should he eat it, LOL! It gets worse when I tell him to put it in the trash (diner is in the oven) so he comes back and informs me that on his way to the trash can he tripped, the candy cane landed in his mouth and he closed his mouth around it. He is just soooo cute that I couldn't help but laugh!!!! Candy-canes are such a temptation (:

Ladies Ink December Challenge Card

2009-12-01T21:32:00.000-08:00

This card was made for my Ladies Ink Blog Group. The challenge was to create a card using non traditional colors. Now that I am posting this, I realize that I colored the penguins little hats and scarves in red and green. This is my BEST attempt at following the rules when completing a challenge, LOL! I have made snow layers before, but now that I am using the new White Flower Soft this technique looks real! If you have never used flower soft I would recommend you using the white for your winter cards. Of course I carry Flower Soft in my store so check it out!

The Copic Club Information above will stay at the top of my Blog until the end of December. I am signing customers up right now for a variety of memberships. If you love copics or want to love copics, check out my Club details you just might find a program that works for your needs and budget.

This is what I have been up to (: A Thanksgiving Feast at DD Preschool. It was the only home cooked meal I had during Thanksgiving so it was wonderful! I am still not ready to make the big dinner without my dad. I lost him two years ago on 11/28 and he was the Turkey maker and carver. I know that he would want me to COOK THE MEAL JULIE (that's what he would say), so I am going to get my act together next year and cook. With four children my days are spent in a tailspin of activity. I wish I was more together. I have to say that I am really thankful to have a beautiful family and good health. I am also so thankful for all my friends in Blogland! I have wonderful friends all over this beautiful world and that is a blessing.

Attack of the Work Load!

2009-11-16T21:01:00.000-08:00

This is a funny card I made that reminds me of my messy desk and all the work I need to do. Sorry my posts have been few lately, I am barely keeping up right now! This stamp always makes me chuckle (: This stamp is a Gruffies, Attack Of the Caffeine Crash. I colored him using Copics. The background stamp is a cute set from Gina K Designs. The metal embellishment came from a 350 piece embellishment set from Scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com.

Holly Jolly House Mouse!

2009-10-31T13:54:00.000-07:00

This card was made using one of my favorite House Mouse stamps. I used Holly Jolly rub ons on the mug. The paper is double sided and made into a nontraditional fold (not sure what it is called) (: When you open the card it folds out. The ribbon is a holiday ribbon I bought last year after Christmas. I used pearl stickers to the side of this card. Find the supplies in my store.

I have had a CRAZY week of holiday parties and parent teacher conferences for my four children. I hope to get around to your Blogs, but if not please forgive me. The children are all well (at the moment, crossing fingers) so I hope to get into my normal routine. Normal as my life gets anyway. LOL!

Baby Boy Scalloped Square Card!

2009-10-20T14:03:00.000-07:00

This is the baby boy card I made for our local SCS shoebox swap last Saturday. The theme was baby, because one of our members Michelle is having her first baby boy in December. We are really excited for her! Any-who the card shape was made with the Spellbinders scalloped square die. My inspiration idea was a baby blanket. The stamp is an old Stampin Up stamp, but I still really like it. The image was colored with Copics.

Lollypop Type Flowers

2009-10-18T13:53:00.000-07:00

I have to say the pictures do not do these fun flowers justice! You can literally make these out of anything, and that is what makes them so much fun to make. The red flowers were made with leftover chipboard, run through the Sizzix using polka dots, edges were roughed up, painted with a bright red acrylic paint and a small brad was placed through to hold the layers together. In person it looks a lot like leather. The green flowers were made using the green Kiwi pack of paper from my store. I used objects around my craft room to make the layered circles. I crinkled the layers up in my hand and sanded them with a large nail file. I used a small hole punch to make button type holes and I laced the ribbon through. Diamond Stickles were placed around the edges to make the layers stand out.
The brown flowers were made using a dark brown and tan felt. I didn't want the circles to be perfect and I fluffed up the felt to make them fuzzy. Matching medium sized copper brads from the 350 piece embellishment set from my store were added.
These flowers are gorgeous in person! I used Hot Mamma paper, cut them using three sizes of the Spellbinders scalloped circle die, pearl paint, and a painted brad for the center. I crinkled these layers up too, and it gave it a flower type texture. I used chipboard, cardstock, felt and pattern paper for my flowers. You can use acrylic, fabric, cardboard boxes you name it! These flowers are truly fun to make (: Next I am going to use my new Basic Grey 6x6 paper and layer the patterns! Check out Scrapbook Store at Your Door's new Basic Grey 6x6 Indian Summer, Eerie and Eskimo Kisses (:

Paper Crafts Santa Card!

2009-10-16T07:02:00.000-07:00

I made this card for our Ladies Ink challenge last month (I am really behind). I cased this idea from the latest issue of Paper Crafts Magazine. They had a template I could print out, but of course I wanted to figure it out on my own. They have a cute winter owl I want to try also! For my Santa I used the circle scallop punch in place of a regular circle punch in their card. I also added Diamond stickles to the white in Santa's outfit.

I am so sorry for the infrequent posts, I have had 4 sick children home for the past two weeks. It has put me behind in a lot of areas. I will be opening a special holiday page on my website soon (still working on it (:) I did a add a special Food Themed category that has a ton of food related products in one place! If you are into recipe cards, creating recipe albums or just love to eat you will love the products we have available. I also have Copics! If you haven't visited the store in awhile check it out and let me know what you think!

Eerie Acrylic Smash!

2009-10-05T10:56:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun making this card!!! I used the tutorial on SCS for making an Acrylic Smash card. I used a $1 stamp set I found at Target the other day on the acrylic. I used Citrus acrylic paint on the underside and smashed it into eerie paper from Basic Grey. I used Diamond Stickles to highlight the stars and ghost images. Google eyes were added to the ghosts. The paper is all Eerie from Basic Grey found in my store. The ribbon is some that I had on hand. I popped it up with Sticky Doos. If you haven't tried this technique I encourage you to, it was a total blast (: Hope you are all having a great week! I am working hard to get caught up on challenges.

Trick or Cheese House Mouse!

2009-09-30T16:11:00.000-07:00

This is a recipe card I made for a fun Halloween recipe card swap on SCS. I used Glitz Design Hallow circles and one of my favorite HM Halloween stamps Tick or Cheese. The recipe is a fondue recipe so the cheese costume on the mouse was perfect (: I used Glitz frosting down the side of my card. Glitz has discontinued the frosting (bling) but I still have a lot in stock. I have also just added Basic Grey eerie 6x6 paper and the eerie lace paper (so cool!!!). I have also added a lot of other cool goodies so check out the store if it's been awhile. I will be opening soon a Food themed page (perfect for us recipe card junkies, LOL) and a Holiday Themed page so you can find your Halloween & Christmas products in a flash. Also, if you enjoy recipe cards check out the Recipe Card Challenge Blog! Have fun!!!!!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

2009-09-24T16:42:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my brother Jonathan. We are going out to eat for his birthday tonight. I used the new June Bug paper from Basic Grey. I love the exotic patterns and color combinations in this pack. The button is also Basic Grey (Porcelain line). It's been raining here all day so my outside picture looks yucky.
This is an inside view of my card. It holds two gift cards, but I made a tag with a birthday wish for him. I will add a coffee house card to the other side (picking it up on the way to dinner, LOL!) Sorry for the inconsistent posts lately. I have not had enough energy to keep up with my busy life. It was really too much to have the flu and surgery all together! I am regaining my strength each day so please be patient with me (: Thank you all for your kind wishes.

P.S. If you see this Michelle I have not

forgotten that I promised to send you

one of these cards (: I will!!!!!

Take A Bite out of Halloween!

2009-09-11T15:57:00.000-07:00

I made a card today, YAY!!!! I am still really tired from my surgery, but I am doing better. I am also slowly getting over my flu. I am so happy to announce that my Mom is just fine also (: She had surgery Tuesday and they did not find cancer (: I have had a really stressful two weeks, so if I haven't made it around to your Blog please forgive me.

This card was made using a cute little House Mouse stamp Trick or Cheese. I used two sizes from the Spellbinders scalloped circles to cut my paper and image circle. I used Glitz Hallow Circles double sided paper. This layout is from the latest tutorial on SCS, and I have to say it's a fun one! I hope everyone has a happy weekend!!!! I hope to be back to my semi-normal self this week (: I have a TON of new products to add to the store, including a Copics page. Yes, we can provide you with all your Copics needs now (: Very Exciting!

Daisy Head Flower Pot Card!

2009-08-31T09:10:00.000-07:00

This is the flower pot card I made for our local SCS shoebox swap. I used American Crafts paper, Daisy Heads Spellbinders, Scalloped Square Spellbinders (to create the pot's scallop), mini round clips, and Chestnut ink for distressing the edges.
The inside sentiment and ribbon is a SU. The ribbon was a sweet gift from my SS on SCS (: I can't tell you who, because we haven't revealed yet. Hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it. I have severe allergies right now, and I just want to go back to bed. Hope everyone has a wonderful start to their week!

Grape Dreams Mudpie

2009-08-19T15:30:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for fun using Grape Dreams House Mouse stamp. This is a stamp that I just added to my store. If you haven't checked out Scrapbook Store at Your Door in awhile, new stamps have been added! I used Stickles to add shine to the grapes. The lace is Fancy Pants amber Lace Wrap. The paper is from the Basic Grey Wisteria Collection. I have a lot of neighborhood children in my house popping popcorn, so I better go make sure they don't eat me out of house and home (:

Ladies Ink Copy a Sketch Challenge and some Magic!

2009-08-12T12:29:00.000-07:00

I made this card for my Ladies Ink copy a sketch challenge. I used Kristin's sketch for my card. The paper is Wisteria Basic Grey paper collection from my online store. The circles are Spellbinders Scalloped Circles and the thank you comes from Stampin Up and was cut with the Big Shot Sizzex. I rarely use sketches but I need to more often, because this card came together so fast!
This is what I have been doing when I am not stamping, Blogging or running Scrapbook Store at your Door. No really, this is a picture of me visiting the St. Louis Magic House last Saturday with my children and their friends. This picture is what I have looked like most of my crazy busy summer.
My four children and their friends at the St. Louis Magic House. The two children in front are mine and the little boy in the green shirt and girl in the yellow shirt are my babies (: We had a great day!

Lemon Lips Fun!!!

2009-08-07T11:07:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my SS from my Sassy Stampers group. The recipe challenge this week on my Recipe Challenge Blog was Pink Lemonade so I think this card fits in nicely with the challenge theme. In fact I used this stamp Lemon Lips in my recipe card, the recipe card that I couldn't share, because I lost my camera earlier in the week (: The background paper is Basic Grey and the flowers are Primas. I used Diamond Stickles to boarder the papers and highlight the lemon and lime. You can find all of the products used in my online store at great prices. Hope you are having a GREAT Friday!!!!!

Ladies Ink 3-D Project Challenge

2009-07-28T08:24:00.000-07:00

This is my 3-Project that I created for ladies Ink, a blogging group I belong to on SCS. Check out their Blogs listed on the left of my page. This is a food journal that I made for myself (: I exercise, but lately my eating habits have been slipping into an unhealthy zone! This journal features two friends drinking coffee and look NO Pastries on the table, LOL! The paper is Rusty Pickle it's a few years old. I LOVE it so I didn't want to use it. The notebook was from the Dollar store and just the right size for my daily food journaling. I folded the large flower in half and placed a very old pearl brad in it. The Primas have a Basic Grey Pearl in the center. I used scraps of ribbon to embellish the binding. I also added diamond stickles to one of the ladies pants. I love adding a touch of glitter to regular DP to make it extra special. I used my Glue Glider Max to adhere all the paper and embellishments.
This is a back side of this nutritious journal (: Notice the slim ladies shopping, this helps me remember that if I want to enjoy shopping I must use this journal. The sentiment reads "With all my dietary restrictions, I'm left with water and lipstick". This is one of my favorite stamps and it goes well with the lipstick ready stamp from House Mouse. Speaking of House mouse I added several new HM stamps to the store so go shopping today!

Finding Friendship!

2009-07-20T09:40:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun making this card! The image is a Gruffies, Finding Friendship. I was inspired by the frame tutorial a few weeks ago on SCS. The paper is Mommy and Me Woodsy Glitter. The sentiment is from an old SU set. The metal embellishments are from a 350 pack embellishment set that I totally LOVE! I colored this image with Copics. I am planning on creating a list of Copic colors that work beautifully with House Mouse, Gruffies and Happy Hoppers stamps. I hear so many people complain that they have trouble coloring them. The key is to not use too dark of colors so the fur shows through. I also highlight with the Copic blender pen. The blender pen is nothing like SU blender pens. It removes color so it is perfect for adding light spots and highlighting. I have been busy with my new Recipe Card Challenge Blog! Check out the link (: I am in the process of placing a DT together and so far I have a GREAT team! Take a LOOK!

Recipe Swap fun and NEW challenge Blog!

2009-07-16T13:48:00.000-07:00

This is a 6x6 recipe card I made for a SCS swap I am in. I used a SU set I got for my birthday last year called Under The Stars. This recipe is a VERY old family recipe that has been my favorite all my life. I had this cookie paper in my stash so I thought it was perfect! I am totally addicted to recipe swaps (:

I started a NEW recipe challenges Blog that will feature weekly recipe card challenges, ideas and of course great recipes! I am looking for a few reliable friends to join in on the weekly challenges, so if you would like to participate once, weekly or monthly send me an email with a link to your Blog, along with any questions. This Blog is for those who want to have fun in their craft room as well as the kitchen. A few fun incentives from my store will be sent to DT members and Guest Designers ranging from free product gifts to great discounts throughout the year. Let me know if this is your cup of soup ):

Groovy 70's Style!

2009-07-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my TV appearance back in June. I used a large Spellbinders scallop circle and cord to make this fun design. The paper is Basic Grey. I stamped a sentiment on the inside of this paper bag card. It reminds me of the 70's (: I have been working on several recipe swap cards this week, and I can't wait to share them as soon as I get my hands on my camera from DH car. He tells me the battery is dead, so it my be tomorrow before I can share them ): I have set up a table in our living room, because I have signed up for several recipe swaps, LOL! I have made a real mess, but so do my four children.....who will notice (:

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

2009-07-12T07:30:00.000-07:00

This is a fun little birthday card I made using my Scalloped Circle Nestabilities. I just folded the paper like a card and cut, using the largest shape, to make this cute little shape. The paper is from Basic Grey called Cupcake and the cupcake is an older SU stamp. I used Pearl from Ranger to make the icing. I used Stickles on several of the balloons on the paper. I used Valentines Primas on the top. I just LOVE Prima flowers (: I hope everyone is having a great weekend! We have some family fun planed today so I better get off the computer (:

Beary Good Ice Cream!

2009-07-06T13:21:00.000-07:00

Ice Cream with a buddy is just the best! I had to have this gruffies stamp, Beary Good Ice Cream!!!! I think this stamp goes perfectly with Cupcake, Basic Grey's 6x6 paper pad. I colored these beary good friends with Copics. I used Spellbinders Scalloped Oval large for the die cut. This was a simple card to make but a lot of fun (:

DH and I made it back from our 100 mile bike (not motorized) ride last weekend. I was not tired when we arrived in Herman and even walked across town to the Vintage restaurant. I did however start to have a reaction to the spray sunscreen I used that day. I developed BIG welts on my skin so I took two Benadryl before bed. DH said there was a big storm that night but I slept like a ROCK, LOL! On our way home we had to deal with 10 fallen tress on the Katy Trail, two of which we had to work our way through holding our bikes, YIKES! I have to say the Benadryl did not help my ability to feel energetic on the way home, but I did make it. We had a wonderful time! I hope we can do it again in the Fall. Our B&B was just like a storybook (:

Did everyone have a happy 4th of July?

Glitz up your 4th!!!!

2009-07-02T09:11:00.000-07:00

I made this box in a bag for my SS filled with candy (: I used paper from Glitz Design and found it to work beautifully. The flower is a large Bazzil flower that i had on hand and the center is a SU stamp. Here is the SCS tutorial if you would like to make one.
This is a HM paper bag card I made. I colored this image with Copics and highlighted the lemon center, flower and mouses nose with Stickles. HM is soooo fun to color and I carry a large selection in my online store so take a look. The background flower is a large Bazzil I had on hand. The paper is GLitz Design. If you have never used Glitz paper you really should try it! I am in love with quality paper (: By the way I stuck a Kool Aide pink lemonade pack in the back pouch of this card.

I hope you all in the U.S. have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!! DH and I are biking 50 miles to a B&B tomorrow and 50 miles back on the 4th. I am so excited!!!!!!

Tell me about your plans (:

A Hoot of A Time!

2009-06-30T07:09:00.000-07:00

These cards were made for my TV segment on Great Day St. Louis June 19th. I had so much fun! Anyway, I used this adorable owl stamp, Basic Grey paper cut to a 5x5 size to fit the paper bag card size, Basic Grey buttons, scalloped circle die by Spellbinders as well as the Color Box distressing tool that I LOVE! I carry all these products (:
I used Fancy Pants ribbon, Basic Grey paper for the crinkled flowers, a Basic Grey button, Cord for the branch, and last but not least this adorable owl stamp! If you haven't visited my store in some time take a look. I have been adding new items almost continually, and I have to say the website is packed with amazingly fun products! Go Shopping!

Let me know what you think!!!!!

Thank You Scrapling!

2009-06-26T06:29:00.000-07:00

This is a Scrapling I made for my SS in my D.I.V.A.S group on SCS. This was my first Scrapling and I know not my last. I colored this image using my Copics. The inside I used a SU set as well.
This is an inside view of my Scrapling. You may notice the metal embellishment I used. It comes from a set of 350!!!! I use this set all the time and I am happy to say I am not low on metal embellishments.

I hope you are having a great weekend! DH and I took a 40 mile bike ride last night, so I am really stiff this morning (: We are planning on a 50 mile to Herman Mo in a few weeks to stay at a B&B and eat at a nice German Restaurant, and back the next morning 50 miles (: We usually ride 20 due to time limitations, but last night was killer! I have bug bites all over my body and my DH doesn't! I am going to finish up my Blog visits and head to the gym to work this stiffness out (:

Clearly Wisteria!

2009-06-24T12:33:00.000-07:00

This is a clear album that I have made using the clear album set on my website. I used two sets. I used alcohol ink in purple and blue. My picture is not showing the richness of color that the inks created. I used the tiny pearls with pearl paint by Ranger. I added purple stickles to the leaves of the flowers. Rub ons were used to create the front title. It reads, " A friend is a second self" as well as, " Friends are born not made"
Wisteria paper was used on the inside of the album. This is GORGEOUS paper! I used purple stickles to trim around the pages.

Spellbinders scallop circle die was used to create the two photo mats.

This picture makes it hard to see the Wisteria paper that ends the book. I bound this album with thick wired ribbon. The silk flowers are from the floral department and can be plucked out of a hydrangea bunch. The beauty of a clear album is that you can see through all the layers and the album always has dimension as you turn the pages. I really had fun with this project (:

Go Shopping!

Great Day St. Louis, Father's Day Cards

Great Day St. Louis Father's Day Card!

2009-06-18T11:17:00.000-07:00

This is the finished Paper Bag card that was made for Great Day St. Louis, Friday, June 19th.
I used Basic Grey 6x6 paper, chipboard alphabet, Spellbinders scalloped circles (I used a Sizzix die cut tool), Color Box ink and distressing tool, Glue Glider Pro adhesive and embellishments. Most supplies can be found on my website Scrapbook Store at Your Door.
Start with a basic lunch sack and fold in half. Your bag opening should be the back of the card. Use a little adhesive to tape the edges that would open if you were using this as a lunch sack. You will place a little treat of your choice in this opening once your card is finished.
I used Spellbinders Scalloped Circles with my Big Shot Sizzix on my card, but you can use any die cut machine or paper punch to create similar looks.
The larger scalloped circle (patterned paper) is adhered flat on top of the 5x5 patterned paper. The smaller (solid colored) scalloped circle is raised up with pop dots. I also placed two small Basic Grey brads on the sides of the top scallop. I used a paper piercer to create tiny holes around the top scallop. Distressing with ink adds to the ruggedness of this manly card, so I used the Color Box distressing tool with a Dark Brown ink. Distress with ink on every layer of paper to achieve a finished look.
I used Basic Grey Archaic 6x6 paper pad for this card. I cut my sheets to 5x5 in size to fit the paper bag. Using quality paper packs like Basic Grey, allows for perfect coordinating of pattern paper's. All paper's in these packs work beautifully together, and can be mixed and matched for fun combinations in cards.
Save the scraps left over from cutting the 6x6 paper to 5x5. As shown in the picture above these scraps can make a perfect embellishment. This is the inside view of the paper bag card. Both sheets of paper came from the Archaic paper pack and were cut to a 5x5 size. I will stamp Happy Father's Day in the inside, but if you do not have stamps print this out on your computer. I love printing on Vellum and using a paper punch to punch out my sentiment.
I tied cord around the card a few times as an embellishment in place of more girly ribbon.

When completed, slip a pair of Baseball Tickets, a gift card, cash or Daddy's favorite candy in this pouch. Make Dad really smile and make coupon's good for chores he normally is responsible for. Mowing the lawn is a big one at our house (:

I hope you enjoyed this card on Great Day St. Louis, and were inspired to create some fun and unique cards for your Father! Bookmark my Blog, for more ideas and inspiration. For a FUN Shopping experience at your computer please check out my online store full of unique quality paper craft products that I personally use and LOVE!

Life is Tweet in St. Louis!

2009-06-10T12:33:00.000-07:00

I am back from vacation and having fun creating again! I also have some exciting news to share with you, so read down. This is one of my favorite little stamp sets for summer, Life Is Sweet. I carry this stamp as well as several other great stamps from Prima Marketing, yes the company that makes our favorite flowers (: The paper comes from Basic Grey's Lime Ricky 6x6 paper pad that I also carry in my online store. I used orange Stickles to boarder my die cut circles. Stickles are the perfect accent to so many projects. I added a clear stickle accent to the birds eye and wing. I also love using feathery fibers on bird cards (:

I have some VERY exciting "NEWS" to share with you!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be appearing on Great Day St. Louis June 19th!!!!!! I will be demonstrating how to create fun Father's Day cards. I am so very excited for this fun opportunity (: It's very hard to sleep, LOL!

P.S. Thank you to everyone for your support and showing your love for Scrapbook Store at Your Door! Your encouragement is what has allowed it to grow into the fun store that it is today (:

It will continue to carry unique quality items that we all LOVE (:

ATC Card and Vacation!

2009-05-31T08:47:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of my first ATC card!!!! If you have never made an Artist Trading Card Google it, and you will find many instructions and ideas on the web. This was a challenge for my DIVAS blog group. I just have to say I love my Blogging friends (: This is actually a new stamp, paper and embellishments from my store. If you order this week we are closed for vacation and will ship your items in one week (with a special gift). Those of you who read my Blog and are customers know that we ship ASAP the rest of the year (:

I hope you are having a wonderful summer!!!!!

Birthday 70's Style!

2009-05-18T10:04:00.000-07:00

This is the card I made for our local SCS shoebox swap held at my house last Saturday afternoon. The theme was the 70's in honor of my birthday this Wednesday (: I was born in the 70's, so I thought it would be a fun theme. The cards everyone created for the swap were sooooo creative!
This is a pocket card that was designed to hold tea bags. I used Stampin Up paper, and cardstock from my online store. Stampin Up has beautiful paper packs, so if you need a demonstrator please check out one of my friends located in my sidebar. Chances are one of them can be your local demonstrator. I own an online store, but I still buy from SU (: I really do love a variety of products.
This is an open view of the card without tea bags in the pockets. The sentiment is a Stampabilities stamp that can be found in my online store. I think it is such a happy wish for anyone. Saturday we had mint chocolate chip ice cream cake (my favorite), vegetable pizza, a fruit and a strawberry tray. My DH bought all the snacks and flowers for our swap party. I had a lovely day! SCS has brought so many wonderful friends into my life and I feel truly blessed with so many talented friends. I will also be posting all the cards I have been receiving from my stamping friends near and far. You all are really a blessing to my life!

Mother In Law card!

2009-05-13T06:41:00.000-07:00

This is the Mother's Day card I made for my Mother In-Law. My DH was very happy to give this to her. I used Basic Grey Wisteria paper (my favorite right now) with a fun House Mouse stamp from my store. The pearls are the new Basic Grey half pearls that I just added to Scrapbook Store at Your Door. I have so many new products that I have just added, and I am having BLAST playing with all of them (: I have Wisteria buttons, brads 12x12 Collection, 6x6 paper pad as well as the new Wisteria stamps! I am so ready to play with these beautiful stamps (: I hope everyone is having a great week so far! I have a shoebox swap at my house this weekend in honor of my birthday. The theme is the 70's (I was born in 75) and we will be enjoying a yummy birthday cake while we stamp. I am so excited!

My Mother's Day card!

2009-05-11T14:29:00.000-07:00

I made this card for my mother for Mother's Day. I used Basic Grey Porcelain paper from the 6X6 pad. I can't get enough of those 6x6 BG pads! Anyway, the stamp is a Happy Hopper, Relaxing Bubbles. I used Diamond Stickles for the Bubbles, and Liquid Pearls for the bathtub to add dimension. I added a tiny pearl to her hand from the new Basic Grey opaline that I now carry in my store. I also added them to the top corners. They are new from CHA. I can't get over how beautiful they are and what a GREAT price!

New Stamps Are FUN!!!!!!

2009-05-09T16:20:00.000-07:00

This is my Secret Sister Challenge #1 card for my Divas group on SCS. I actually hosted this challenge titled Friendship Is In Bloom. We had to make a friendship themed card using as many flowers as possible. I used some Porcelain Paper from Basic Grey, Silk flowers with a liquid pearls center topped with mini pearls to finish off the pearl look. This technique is also pretty with Primas. Liquid pearls were also used on the bathtub and Diamond Stickles on the bubbles. The Stamp is a Happy Hopper, Relaxing Bubbles. I have all the new stamps added to my store now (:
This is a cute little stamp I carry in my store and I just wanted to play with it (: The buttons are from Basic Grey and I have to say I LOVE these buttons and reach for them so often (: I have had a crazy week so I am glad to be posting a few cards I have made. Have some shopping fun today and Go to my store and check out all the new stamps I have added. I will ship your items out with love on Monday (:

House Mouse Dance!

2009-05-02T10:40:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun making this fun House Mouse card. This stamp is currently out of stock. I had a run on stamps, so I will have them back in stock in a few days. I have so many cute new Gruffies coming (: I used one of my favorite paper packs by Basic Grey, Bittersweet. I have this in stock in the 6x6 pad and the 12x12 Collection. I used Valentines Primas with beaded centers. I used Cotton Candy Stickles on her dance skirt and in the center of the flowers. I also used the 350 piece embellishment set to add the two brads to the card. I used Nestabilities for my shapes. You will be happy to know I have tons of Nestabilities and Shapeabilities in stock. I will be adding them to my store next week. I have so much work and so little time to create!
This is an inside view of the card before I stamp the sentiments. HM has the cutest sentiment stamps! Just for the record I HATE real mice, but I love these fictional mice that Stampabilities make. For those of you that Hate both real and cartoon types, I will have more Gruffies back in my store next week (: They have been really popular. Let me know what stamps and products you are looking for, I offer great prices as a rule, and I always treat my Blogging friends and sisters with extra special love! Any new ideas are greatly appreciated (:

Grace is All Girl!

2009-04-29T08:46:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of the wooden letters I altered to make my 4 year old DD name for over her bed. Don't you just love those pink walls (: Her bed-spread is Disney Princess. I created the letters to coordinate with all the colors in her room. The paper is Basic Grey and the paint is a light pink acrylic paint. I also used Pearl acrylic paint from Ranger to distress the edges and give it a glow. I used Glitz Design Bling. Grace is happy with her name (:
This is a close up of a butterfly I made out of a plastic package. I just found a butterfly image I liked in a magazine and used it for a template. I stamped a flourish on the butterfly and added stickles to the edges of the butterfly. It is hard to see in the picture but really pretty on the letter. This butterfly shows how recycling and reusing = pretty embellishment.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask! This was an inexpensive decoration to make.

Man Card Swap!

2009-04-26T14:07:00.000-07:00

Attack Of The Caffeine Crash stamp and Stampin Up paper. I colored this image with Copics. I sold out of this stamp FAST, so I will be adding more to my store later this week. It is just adorable! I think we can all relate to this image of being overworked and over caffeinated (: I do have a few Gruffies left if you want to take a look. They are really cute and popular.
I made this tie card using Lime Rickey paper from Basic Grey. I used the 6x6 size pad to make this man tie. I made both of these cards for our local SCS shoebox swap last Saturday. The theme was male cards. This is usually not a strong area for me, so our swap was very helpful for me (: Everyone brought amazing cards to make and like always we had a BLAST. The tie is easily found if you Google it. If I can do it so can you (:

All Girl Card!

2009-04-21T08:08:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my SS. The challenge was to make a card using a non-traditional fold. My SS is very girly, so I thought I would make an ultra girly card. The paper I used is from Glitz Design, Hot Momma. The flowers are large Bazzil. The brads are large metal that I dipped in StazOn, pink powder and embossed. The black bling is also Glitz Frosting.

Secret Sister Package

2009-04-20T13:39:00.000-07:00

I followed six weeks of fun secret sister challenges and this is the final result. I have had so much fun completing these challenges every week, as well as leaning about my SS. I have posted a few of these cards the past few weeks.
This is a scissor charm for my SS. I will carry these in my online store soon. You place a charm on your scissors, so while at crops you can identify your scissors. We always have to be careful not to mix up supplies at swaps and crops that I attend (: I hope my SS will find this helpful.
This is not the best picture of this mini crock. I placed rub ons on the crock and after the rainbow nerds have been eaten it will hold buttons, beads or more nerds (:

Lipstick & Eye Pencil Ready!

2009-04-13T15:09:00.000-07:00

This is a new stamp just added to Scrapbook Store at Your Door. Of course I had to have one (: This stamp reminds me of slumber parties I had with friends as a little girl. I just LOVED playing with makeup! I used my Cricut to make the flower frame, vellum for the sentiment and copics for the coloring. The flower is from the Valentines Prima jar. Check out all the new House Mouse stamps!

Clearly Fun!

2009-04-11T12:39:00.000-07:00

This is a House Mouse stamp that I have in stock, but SOMEHOW forgot to place online. I will be doing that on Monday (: You have to wonder about me sometimes, LOL! Anyway, I made this card using an acetate sheet. I wanted this card to be layered like a clear album would be. Nothing is more creative than a clear album with all its layers. I used butterscotch alcohol ink on the inside of the front cover to give it a lemonade feel. I folded a large Bazzil flower in half. I dipped a large yellow brad in perfect medium and Bridal embossing tinsel by Ranger. I also added the fun little swirl from the 350 pack embellishment kit that I carry. I colored my HM image with beautiful Copics (yes, I adore them). I am having a wonderful weekend so I hope you are too!

Well Wishes for Easter!

2009-04-09T18:37:00.000-07:00

This is a Flower Soft card I made using Spring Flower Soft. I have soooo much fun with this beautiful product. If you do not have some you can pick up a box set or a jar of Spring for not a lot of money at my store. This stamp is also from the Flower Soft company called Well Wishes. It is a lovely large stamp, perfect for flower soft. I have had a busy week, so I wanted to share a little of what I have been working on. It's my oldest daughter's ninth birthday tomorrow, so we have a day full of fun and friends planed for her (: I hope everyone has a lovely Easter Sunday!

Embellished EMILY!

2009-04-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

Okay, I took this picture in my craft room, the old way before the light-box. Now these pictures are not so great! Whatever (: On to this post (: I made these altered letters for my DD bedroom. You may remember I posted pictures of her room several months ago. She has a lime green focus wall and purple walls. Very 9 year old (: I made her name using plain wooden letters. I painted them with "folk Art 654 Metallic Amethyst," and distressed the edges with, "Adirondack Pearl Acrylic Paint." The paper is Glitz Design's GiGi paper collection. I also used Liquid pearls on the centers of the flowers along with tiny pearls. I painted the silk flowers with a little purple paint to give it more depth and shine. I used Lime frosting and Flower frosting from Glitz also. The end result is really neat, sorry my pictures are not, LOL!

P.S.

I added new House Mouse Stamps

and embellishments to my online

store today! Check it out!

Flower Soft Fun!

2009-04-01T06:15:00.000-07:00

I made this card using my favorite new embellishment, Flower Soft! I carry this amazing stuff in my online store. Anyway, I used an older Stampin Up stamp on vellum. Cut an oval in my card, placed the vellum behind the cut-out. I mounted a piece of Porcelain Basic Grey paper behind it. I used two of the 350 piece embellishment set I carry in my store. I am convinced it will last me two years (: Flower soft is a BLAST to play with! I am going to work in some more play time today (:

My light box is improving thanks to Kryssi from Sugar Buffet, she is an amazing artist as well as a great person. Visit her Blog and be totally inspired. Thank you so much Kryssi for helping me. I do need a few more lights in my set up and I think that will make it perfect.

Also, check out my new Button! It links directly to my online store. I will be announcing an amazing Button Blog Candy from my store on Monday (: Hope everyone is having a GREAT day!

Porcelain My Cup of Cocoa!

2009-03-27T16:13:00.000-07:00

I made this card using the 6x6 Basic Grey pack of Porcelain paper. I have to say that I LOVE this paper so much! I used the House Mouse stamp Morning Kick Start and the HM sentiment Cup Of Cocoa. I also used a few of the wonderful metal embellishments from a 350 pack from my online store. I love the little case these come in (: I used Pearl paint to distress my edges in a shabby chic way. If you have never used Pearl paint or liquid pearls you really are missing something fun. I carry all of these products in my store, because I use them and have been using them for some time. Go Shopping!

I have a question for all you professional photographers (: I made a light box and it looks really professional. The problem is the person using it is not, LOL! My images are turning out oddly colored which is not what I was going for in the first place. I read online to use natural light bulbs. I bought them last night and I did find some improvement, but it is still not perfect. I had to alter the tints of the photo above to look a little normal. I have a Panasonic DMC-TZ1 camera. If anyone has any tips that can help me make this light box work, I would be so appreciative! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am still home with kids with the flu ): I am going to play with flower soft sometime this weekend!

House Mouse & Product Fun!

2009-03-26T08:26:00.000-07:00

I made this card using the HM stamp Lily Pad Pond from my online store. I stamped the image and used Bridal Embossing Tinsel from my online store (I added two new pages of products!). I colored this image with Copics, but what makes it stand out is the Embossing Tinsel. Bridal embossing tinsel by Ranger has been my favorite powder for years, so I am so excited to offer it in my own store (: I also have a page full of beautiful Stickles and Liquid Pearls! Oh so much fun. The metal embellishment is from a set of 350 pieces of embellishments that yes, you can find on my site (: I LOVE House Mouse!

My 4 children are all home with the flu, so I better make this short (: Hope everyone is having a great day and if you want to do some shopping hop on over to my store!

P.S. I have Flower Soft

in the store!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Little Birdie Told Me!

2009-03-23T12:37:00.000-07:00

I made this card using GIGI BIRDS paper from Glitz Designs. The Bird stamp is one I picked up for $1 last year. The "cute" stamp is one from Stampin Up. I used stickles from my online store (page coming soon with Stickles and paints by Ranger). If you want to go shopping check out the gorgeous new paper's for spring and the new ink pads and embossing powders that have been added to scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long! Our router was out, we have had several funerals to go to, and now my son has the FLU! I really need better luck (: Hope everyone's life is going a little smoother than mine, LOL! Off the Lysol my house (:

Birthday card and Falling Out of my Craft Room!

2009-03-12T15:03:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made using Basic Grey! The stamp is a SU. This card is similar to a card we made at our last local SCS shoebox swap. This card is much cuter in person...I am having a bad picture taking day. I forgot who designed the original card...sorry I was busy hosting that day (: This is a very simple card, one sided with a little card that flips open on the front. The original card was also tilted. I will be cleaning my craft room tomorrow, because I fell out of it today!!!!! Yes, I am hurting all over ): It is really sad that it has to come down to personal injury before I clean my craft room. I better end this post now, one of my local SCS friends is demonstrating Gold Canyon Candles tonight at my house (: These candles are by far the best I have found, I am sooo excited!
