</div>
A while back I had posted this tutorial on The Rubber Cafe blog, but realized I never posted to my own blog...cause...I'm just not that organized here.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.moppo.net/"><img border="0" src="http://www.moppo.net/links/090415001343669921-final.gif" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So...I thought I would take the time to share the tutorial here...just in case a visitor didn't happen by The Rubber Cafe back when I was posting there.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the double easel card (no card pictured) you’ll start off what a
square sheet of paper. I’m using 8 ½" x 8 ½". Score at the half way
point and turn, score again at the half way point. In this case, I scored at 4
¼" in both directions. On one side, cut down your score line just to the
first score line. Score from the outside corner to the center on each of the
cut sections. Fold all of your score lines. Use your score tool as a bone
folder and run across your score lines to get a good crease. A sharp score line
with help the easel keep shape.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the single easel card I started off with an 8 ½" x 4 ½"
piece of cardstock and lined the cardstock to 8 ½" and scored at 4 ¼"
and then scored again from left outside corner to the right middle corner. Fold
all score lines the sharpen the creases to hold the easel form.</span></span></div>

<br />
The rest is all personal taste. I used stamps from The
Rubber Cafe...Be Stylish set along with fleurididy 1. I stamped the corset then
stamped it again in the same color. Cut out the top and popped it up. The
bottom of the corset is just ribbon that had been pulled to give it a ruffle. I
stamped fleurididy 1 in deep lagoon versafine ink. Because this week’s
challenge is to do a little sewing…I added just a touch of sewing to each side
of the corset. I think I should stick to faux sewing next time. The sentiment
from Be Stylish is popped up to hold open the easel.<br />

I haven't crafted much...but what I've crafted...I would like to share. The other day I found this<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fab.com/inspiration/80752-612x612-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fab.com/inspiration/80752-612x612-1.png" width="320" /></a></div>It inspired me to make this set of cards...that doesn't happen often enough.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NgsWkmhP7Lw/T2Yn4oyKcRI/AAAAAAAABJU/S4rFF8JHFGI/s1600/DSCF2372.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NgsWkmhP7Lw/T2Yn4oyKcRI/AAAAAAAABJU/S4rFF8JHFGI/s320/DSCF2372.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I swiped 3 blue colors up the side of the card stock using a direct to paper method. The peacock and sentiment are from <a href="http://therubbercafe.com/">The Rubber Cafe</a>. I finished it off with a teal blue ribbon. It's a simple no layers card that I thought would be great for a gift, so I made a few. At some point I'll bunch them up with a few other simple cards and envie's to package for a friend of mine. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">It's a simple but cool card to give.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">What you'll need to start is 3 pieces of cardstock 8 1/2" square. Actually...you can start with any size square....mine is 81/2" which folds down to 4 1/4".</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Start by scoring in half (4 1/4") on one side, turn 1/4 turn and score in half again (4 1/4"), then score from corner to corner...in one direction only.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">It should look like this:</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />

I went searching for directions only to find out that it had been cut from some sort of online template. I'm not really into buying templates. I'm more into buying stamps. I went to work figuring out how to make it without a template and...in the spirit of saving you a little money...I've created this little tutorial.<br />

Turn your paper a 1/4 turn lining up the short scored edge to the top and score at 1 1/2 just to the second score line, 2 & 4 all the way down, and again at 4 1/2 to the second score line. This will be the top of the box.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9xMrsFbdGwY/TfEfNxr2nqI/AAAAAAAABEU/Bu0is4ATP0k/s1600/DSCF1445.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9xMrsFbdGwY/TfEfNxr2nqI/AAAAAAAABEU/Bu0is4ATP0k/s400/DSCF1445.JPG" width="317" /></a></div><br />
<div>flip your paper over and line a bottom corner (not having extra scor lines) into the 6" line. Score corner to corner in the first square and skipping the second square score again corner to corner in the third square. Turn 1/4 turn staying at the bottom and repeate the score again lining it up at the 6" score line. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qDrsT9NLmnY/TfEfQ-Ku-dI/AAAAAAAABEY/ef3GXoDgpqo/s1600/DSCF1446.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qDrsT9NLmnY/TfEfQ-Ku-dI/AAAAAAAABEY/ef3GXoDgpqo/s400/DSCF1446.JPG" width="360" /></a></div><br />

It was soooo beautiful. The architecture was amazing. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like there back when these buildings were being built. I can't tell you what half of them are...but wow...what beautiful buildings. Some buildings were built to house mass tenants and didn't even have running water or electricity back in the day. Can you imagine no running water or electricity?</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

On Wednesday you can find me on <a href="http://www.blogger.com/therubbercafe.com">The Rubber Cafe blog</a>...so I don't know if I'll do both or not. We'll see how it goes. On Sun, I'll try and add an update on skating...have to have that in here a time or two. I may even add a video once I figure out how to make one. :)<br /><p>Now...for a little tasty fruit. </p><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 319px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566370375460275042" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/TT-4XVWRQ2I/AAAAAAAAArY/U-L-EEhqAG4/s320/DSCF1111.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566370641335966674" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/TT-4mzz-W9I/AAAAAAAAArg/M2zXLN7HLN4/s320/DSCF1114.JPG" /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/TT-4myqg4GI/AAAAAAAAAro/gcUhim-lfSw/s1600/DSCF1124.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566370641027850338" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/TT-4myqg4GI/AAAAAAAAAro/gcUhim-lfSw/s320/DSCF1124.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div>I've added some orange stickles to the center and around the orange slices to give it that special bling.

I look forward to your comments.</div></div>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-44693458729350109692009-12-09T07:37:00.000-08:002011-10-28T20:23:22.274-07:00It's Smaller Than a Bread Box<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sx_hGvkcCpI/AAAAAAAAAOs/FZAwYyUjJfA/s1600-h/100_1756.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413292783087389330" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sx_hGvkcCpI/AAAAAAAAAOs/FZAwYyUjJfA/s200/100_1756.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 171px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 206px;" /></a><br />

<div><strong>H</strong>appy chilly Wednesday. In some areas It's way colder than it is here…but I am freezing this morning. It's 48ºf here and to me…that's too cold. So…this morning I thought I would share a project using sunny warm colors.<br />

I found a few that I liked…but they took too much time and too much paper. I wanted to use this in a class I was teaching so I had to make it fast and easy. After a bit of math (my mom always told me those math classes would come in handy some day) I came up with this fun and cute card holder. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br />

· 12" x 12" cardstock or decorative paper<br />
· Scor-pal or scoring tool.<br />
· Very tacky tape (red line, scor-tape) or glue<br />
· Embellishments (a great way to use up your scraps)<br />

1. Score your cardstock at 3" & 6" as shown<br />
2. Turn your paper a quarter turn and score again at 3" & 9" as shown<br />
3. Fold all of your score lines. Always fold away from your score mark. When you score, the fibers of your paper are broken up to fold that way.</div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sx_cvr81UEI/AAAAAAAAAN8/EwHVlTYTUwY/s1600-h/100_1739.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413287988932464706" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sx_cvr81UEI/AAAAAAAAAN8/EwHVlTYTUwY/s200/100_1739.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 107px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 106px;" /></a>4. Cut into your 3" & 9" margins to the first intersection on the 3" & 6" lines. Do this on both sides.<br />
5. Trim diagonally as shown. This is the top of your box.<br />
6. Add your adhesive to the outside of the middle flaps and the inside of the bottom flaps as shown.<br />
7. Fold the top diagonally cut flap over the outside of the middle flap on each side of your box.<br />

</div><div>To make your box sturdier, add a little extra cardstock around the inside of your box. This gives it a finished decorative look but also sturdies it up a bit. For this project I used Cosmo Cricket paper and stamps from <a href="http://www.therubbercafe.com/">The Rubber Café</a>. The finished project is 6" wide and fits most cards. It also fits nicely on your shelf and takes up less room than a bread box. I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial. Comments are welcome.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-57914656461957551782009-12-05T18:12:00.001-08:002009-12-05T18:14:56.464-08:00Just stopping in to say HI.

I had done a stairstep card before but had used a trimmer and bone folder for the scoring. This is one that I altered to scor-pal measurements, using a 5 1/2 " x 9" piece of cardstock. I scored at 1", 2", 3 1/2", 5" & 7". The stamps are all from <a href="http://therubbercafe.com/">'The Rubber Cafe'</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoucDWCTUSI/AAAAAAAAAIg/Xf1QRBr0-xg/s1600-h/Happy+Haunting%60.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 191px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371558561838223650" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoucDWCTUSI/AAAAAAAAAIg/Xf1QRBr0-xg/s200/Happy+Haunting%60.JPG" /></a></div><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoucC940lKI/AAAAAAAAAIY/C4GpUKeHW-o/s1600-h/Happy+Haunting2.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371558555356009634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoucC940lKI/AAAAAAAAAIY/C4GpUKeHW-o/s200/Happy+Haunting2.JPG" /></a></p>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-40993463627957118692009-08-18T23:19:00.001-07:002009-08-18T23:22:06.876-07:00Finally...a video...enjoy<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2mvCohG2peo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2mvCohG2peo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-9762247859318110342009-08-18T22:38:00.000-07:002009-08-18T23:16:32.809-07:00Editing Bugs<div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">ok...so...pics aren't my best thing here on the blog wagon. But I'm working on it. It seems that everytime I post a pic it ends up someplace other than where I thought I put it in the post. I'm sorry for that...I'll work on my editing for the future. In the meantime...I thought I would share a few more pics...just for practice. This was from a skating beach party back on the 4th of July. </span></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SouVO7EMe1I/AAAAAAAAAII/-GlVuFIpK6c/s1600-h/100_0877.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px;

I was in San Jose for a scrapbook expo and it was a blast. When we checked into our rooms we found the most glorious beds. here's my friend Melissa, owner of 'The Rubber Cafe', "making love" to the bed. <div><br /><div><div><div>On Thurs we set up the booth...I didn't take pics :( Fri & Sat the sales were on. Fri & Sat night we were practally giving it away at the crop. The ring leader, Dave, <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWVTFfPU0I/AAAAAAAAAEo/tkrGhly00IA/s1600-h/100_1003.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 162px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369862285832442690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWVTFfPU0I/AAAAAAAAAEo/tkrGhly00IA/s200/100_1003.JPG" /></a>was a great host. During the two night crop we had a few helpers that just <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWXNf3M30I/AAAAAAAAAE4/hXoJDurxjcE/s1600-h/100_1006.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 196px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369864388856307522" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWXNf3M30I/AAAAAAAAAE4/hXoJDurxjcE/s200/100_1006.JPG" /></a>kept coming back for more. They were a great help and Melissa treated them to dinner on the last night where the youngest of the bunch fell asleep as we chatted the night away. During the crop Melissa asked the ladies to get up and dance for paper. Of they gloriously got up and danced. Along the dance line there was a great guy, that I'm <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWZGgC8Y5I/AAAAAAAAAFA/dU-E6MoDDXo/s1600-h/100_1002.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 207px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369866467669730194" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWZGgC8Y5I/AAAAAAAAAFA/dU-E6MoDDXo/s200/100_1002.JPG" /></a>sure was getting up to <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWaxFeOZEI/AAAAAAAAAFI/eX7r35iw834/s1600-h/100_1005.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 155px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 109px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369868298782401602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWaxFeOZEI/AAAAAAAAAFI/eX7r35iw834/s200/100_1005.JPG" /></a>dance for his beloved, and won the paper pack. Meanwhile...Dave is thinking of ways to entertain the crowd, he convinces Melissa to wheel him out on a luggage trolly as he danced to 'Macho Macho Man' from the Village People. It was a great show for the ladies. While they're all <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWaxg41SRI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/y86wxjlgAI0/s1600-h/100_1004.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 152px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 117px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369868306141759762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWaxg41SRI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/y86wxjlgAI0/s200/100_1004.JPG" /></a>dancing the night away, Regi & I were running the registers. All in all...it was a very entertaining crop. </div><div> </div><div>On Sunday we rested, for a while. Then we packed up and headed for home. On the way home, Regi convinced us we needed to see the little town of Holister...have lunch...soak up some local beauty. We spent drove through what looked like a ghost town. Every business was out of business, and there were few places to eat. We did find a colorful bar and grill that was serving up chicken and ribs for to benifit the local softball team. Our host for the hour had a few too many to drink...but hey...he loved us and he was very entertaining. He let us know that his hog head gear was painted outside the bar...so when we finished eating we took a walk around the side...and there it was...bigger than life, along with a few other painted faces that seemed familiar. Melissa couldn't help getting right up to the snot of things. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWdi0CY0VI/AAAAAAAAAFY/Uu82aKm06d8/s1600-h/100_1018.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369871352118956370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWdi0CY0VI/AAAAAAAAAFY/Uu82aKm06d8/s200/100_1018.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWgjWj601I/AAAAAAAAAGA/bEoWWw0ILFQ/s1600-h/100_1019.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 193px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 145px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369874659921285970" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWgjWj601I/AAAAAAAAAGA/bEoWWw0ILFQ/s200/100_1019.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWgkAqAulI/AAAAAAAAAGI/aUTG_Hb1xSs/s1600-h/100_1020.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 194px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 147px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369874671221127762" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWgkAqAulI/AAAAAAAAAGI/aUTG_Hb1xSs/s200/100_1020.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWglO44LiI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/rUN1iPU-Ris/s1600-h/100_1021.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 191px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 142px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369874692221447714" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SoWglO44LiI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/rUN1iPU-Ris/s200/100_1021.JPG" /></a>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-87330299321924610862009-07-27T12:02:00.000-07:002009-07-27T12:11:38.461-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sm36E7utcGI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/W1mq6NoKAGk/s1600-h/100_0929.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 350px; HEIGHT: 260px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363217693928157282" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sm36E7utcGI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/W1mq6NoKAGk/s320/100_0929.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sm36EW-RazI/AAAAAAAAAEI/qdmScw7tYyo/s1600-h/dragonflyquilled.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 262px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363217684061317938" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/Sm36EW-RazI/AAAAAAAAAEI/qdmScw7tYyo/s320/dragonflyquilled.JPG" /></a><br /></div>This morning I participated in the TLC challenge over at splitcoast stampers (technique lovers challenge). This morning was all about quilling. I had never really attempted this technique so I was very excited to try something new. I played with a few strips of paper for a while...then finally came up with a couple of ideas. These two were my best...and so...here they are. The first one was a fish I saw on one of the sample cards. The only stamp used on this project was the "Peace on your wings" from Stampotique. I did add some stickles to the fish to give it a little sparkle.

It made me think of the gondola ride I took with my husband on our anniversary last year. So...I thought I would share a few pics from that day. Enjoy...I did. </div><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFQehNENI/AAAAAAAAAEA/c14voNLtpsU/s1600-h/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353378362688344274" style="WIDTH: 251px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFQehNENI/AAAAAAAAAEA/c14voNLtpsU/s320/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+011.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFQDd-DgI/AAAAAAAAAD4/DQuuHWpD1Y4/s1600-h/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353378355427020290" style="WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFQDd-DgI/AAAAAAAAAD4/DQuuHWpD1Y4/s320/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFPntIGvI/AAAAAAAAADw/DKREG6hKw4o/s1600-h/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353378347974400754" style="WIDTH: 274px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 197px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFPntIGvI/AAAAAAAAADw/DKREG6hKw4o/s320/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+008.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFPbIjU7I/AAAAAAAAADo/eYcBqrQqcN0/s1600-h/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353378344599770034" style="WIDTH: 277px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 197px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SksFPbIjU7I/AAAAAAAAADo/eYcBqrQqcN0/s320/Viva+Las+Vegas+June+2008+007.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-52569907897167123522009-06-17T18:32:00.001-07:002009-06-17T20:13:46.466-07:00A*Muse*ing Little TagsI have decided to play along with the challenges over at the A Muse site...this first entry is using a square for inspiration. <a href="http://amusenews.typepad.com/a_muse_news/2009/06/ap-challenge-1-square.html">http://amusenews.typepad.com/a_muse_news/2009/06/ap-challenge-1-square.html</a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348475374662169442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 153px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SjmaBAyps2I/AAAAAAAAAC4/F-Z2bb5LUvs/s320/gift+card+2.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348474862789719042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 314px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SjmZjN6v9AI/AAAAAAAAACo/xqyYl5t9rnE/s320/gift+card+1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348475614893128674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__w9V_5-NwWw/SjmaO_uLO-I/AAAAAAAAADA/cz0aWBrGXvI/s320/100_0813.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>I used a piece of cs (card stock) that was 2.75" x 3.75", scored 1" at one end and foled over to make the square. I then stamped on a piece of cs that was 2.5" x 2.5" and slid it under the flap...with the vellum I stamped in a different piece and layered the vellum over...then punched a couple of holes at the top and threaded ribbon to finish it off. Very simple...very easy. I actually had to make 2 yellow tags because Cash loved it so much he thought it was a chew toy. that's what I get for leaving him unattended in the rubber room. I did use glitter paper for the red tag...then stamped and colored in with Bic Mark It! pens. Thanks for letting me share...and have a great day.</p>Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874729031051567879.post-66509451978452090302009-06-15T13:16:00.000-07:002009-06-15T13:33:18.574-07:00Oops...no videoWell...I tried to upload some skating videos today...but the links wouldn't work right. I'll have to work on video uploading another time. In the meantime...if you want to watch some fancy footwork, the videos on the right are new this week...just uploaded them to youtube. Seems like youtube is just a hair easier than blogging. Enjoy...and thanks for stopping by. Have a great Day!Stampnsk8rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169094046772131495noreply@blogger.com0
