And here's some more :)

new cards

2011-10-26T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone :)
Just thought i'd quickly pop on and post some new cards i've made of late :)
Thanks for stopping by :)

I Finally made myself a little board to write all the things i need to get done. ( maybe i should put "update blog" on there?)

DT entries

2011-05-04T09:59:00.000-07:00

Good morning everybody. Wow! Over a month since i've updated this blog....do i ever stink at this lol!

These are the two LO's i've recently finished for our LSS design team. They gave me lots of echo park playground fun.

One of our boys recently lost a bunch of teeth. I always get a kick out of his little toothless smile. It was begging to be scrapped :)

And amidst all the rain and cold damp weather we did have at least one warm sunny day. The boys seized the opportunity to sport their superhero get-ups and keep our yard safe. I really like this LO. All in all i really enjoyed working with this line. Very colorful and versatile :)

Hope everyone had a great april and is enjoying their spring. Hopefully my next entry won't be waiting until July ;)

New Cards

2011-04-01T14:43:00.000-07:00

I've been a little busy it seems this month trying to play catch with...well...everything :) I've had a few custom cards to do for people as well. Here are the ones i've finished so far.

I made this one for a friend of mine who's a realtor. She wanted some cards for clients. I hope she's happy with it. It's a case of a card i seen online. I'm sorry but i can't remember who the original artist is. I just fell in love with her card and forgot to write down her name. If you know who it might be please let me know so i can give due credit :)

These two silhouettes were cut from the "a childs year" cartridge. I'm starting to love that cartridge more and more.

Most of the paper i used today was from my scrap drawer, so sorry there hasn't been much detailed info if that's what you came looking for lol. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend though and thanks so much for stopping by :)

March Break...yay :)

2011-03-15T10:58:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody,
It's a beautiful afternoon and the kids are outside playing with the dog. Perfect time to post the ONE card i've made over the past couple weeks...eek.
Anyway, here it is. It's also my entry for this weeks mojo monday sketch 182.

The base pp is from creative imaginations that I had in my stash. I ran it through my cuttlebug using the floral fantasy folder. I inked it with broken china, chipped sapphire and walnut stain is certain places. The top panel was done the same way but i used shabby shutters, crushed olive and again walnut stain to age it a little bit.

The cut piece under my sentiment is from the winter lace cricut cartridge. I rubbed some platnium stickles on top of it ( accidently while it was sitting on my sentiment but i like the outcome lol ) to give it a bit of shine.

Thanks for checking it out...hope everyone has a great week. Hopefully i'll get a chance to make a couple things in the next couple days but time will tell.
See ya soon.
Cass.

Where's spring?

2011-03-03T10:50:00.000-08:00

Ok...it's cold here. Isn't it time for spring yet? That being said, spring defenitly became my inspiration for todays card.

I started by making my base card with kraft cardstock. Used the pyrus line from Basic grey onece again and matted it with white. I used my nestabilites circles for both circles. For the large I sponged shabby shutters, peeled paint for the grass left a little space and then used faded jeans and stormy sky. I took some bleach on my brush and made a little cloud in the sky then took my liquid pearls for a melty snow look. ( i can hope right? )

I pulled out my "stretch your imagination" cricut cartridge and cut my tree then used a Martha stewart punch for the little blossoms. The pink in the middle is a soft pink liquid pearls.

The little birds and the sentiment were stamps i found in the $ bin at michaels. The nest i just affixed some raffia to some cardstock with sticky strip and touched it up with some walnut stain.
Anyway, that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great day :)

Latest cards.

2011-03-02T10:03:00.000-08:00

So as I promised here's another card I made from the pyrus line. In all honesty this isn't my favorite card. I found the whole time i was trying to finish it new ideas kept popping into my head making it incredibly hard to stay on track and stay focused lol. Ever have that problem?

Here's a close-up of the sentiment. I used my nesties for the different circles. The color doesn't seem to show up as well as i'd hoped. It's a dark teal sorta color.

And here's a close-up of my handmade roses. I must say...that's the only part i like lol. The flowers and the little butterfly are my favorite :)

And I decided to stroll outside my comfort zone a wee bit too today. I tried to make something a little more masculine. My Dad has been dealing with some pretty heavy stuff lately so I'll probably send this one to him. The stamp set is from flourishes. It's called a guiding light. I colored it with distress inks and used my brush with some bleach to do the white tones. If anyone has any tips on the lighthouse beam i'd love to hear them.

And then there's this one. Not really sure how I feel about it just yet. I played around with my prismacolor markers with this one. I love em...so much fun :)

The center flower is the only part popped off the card. The flower stamp I used is from a company called "Outlines" and the paper again is basic greys pyrus.

Thanks for stopping by. I may post another today depending on how ambitious i'm feeling.

Made the DT at our LSS

2011-03-01T11:34:00.000-08:00

This is the first month I get to play with the kit from my LSS for the design team. I was fortunate enough to get to work with Basic Grey's new Pyrus line. To be honest when I first seen it all that really came to mind was a resounding "meh" but now that i've worked with it...i'm a fan :)
I only managed to get one card done out of the five I have to do...but here are some pics. I'll be posting some more cards over the next few days.

As always thanks for checking it out :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week. Stay crafty :)

Tea party fun :)

2011-02-16T08:02:00.000-08:00

Good morning everybody.
I was given the glorious task of coming up with an idea for a tea party invite for 18 little girls. Seeing as i have two little boys...getting the chance to do girly things is just heavenly ;)
Here's the cards i came up with. I figured i'd let them choose which they prefer. A little variety never hurts right?

Option1

Option2

Option3

Option4

For all cards I used the "A childs year" cartridge with basic grey "Green at heart" patterned paper.

Which one would you pick?

Thanks for checking out my lastest...hope you all have a fab week :)

Cass.

Had a playdate at the cafe ;)

2011-02-03T11:44:00.000-08:00

So the playdate cafe had another fab challenge. PDCC67.

Wow and what a chanllenge it was! I never and i mean NEVER use these colors together. Not sure why...i think they look quite lovely :) Again with the foil i know, i know you guys are probably getting sick of seeing it, but i'm hooked.

I started with some patterned paper from the Que sera collection from K&Company then sanded the edges and mounted it on a piece of purple cardstock. The raised piece I cute a border piece with my cricut machine using the storybook cartridge and used it as a mask. I sponged spun sugar distress ink with some purple pigment inks then aged it with a bit of vintage photo. I recently bought this stamp set from walmart for $1 and it's from autumn leaves. So i embossed that then used bleach in certain spots to lighten it. I alose bleached around the edges with my brush just to make it stand out from the matting a little more. The hearts are all cut using the george cartridge and the silver ones i ran through my cuttlebug. Finished with some red ribbon and I think i managed to encompass all the colors :)

Thanks for checkin it out. Have a fab day guys!

I'm now on Etsy :)

2011-02-01T08:16:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody :)

Wow....i've been so busy and I was shocked to see my last post was in October...that's just awful lol.
I have started a page on Etsy where I have my cards available for sale.
Here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CassieN?ref=pr_shop
I also have been doing some custom orders. That, combined with kids being sick and all the wonderful other things that come along with this time of year...time is flying by :)
Here are a few of my latest creations. As always i'd love to hear your feedback.

I so rarely seem to get the chance to scrapbook. I was thrilled with how this page turned out. In person it's very sparkly. The snow flakes along the border strip are embossed with irrdescent powders and highlighted with stickles. ( gotta love glitter in any shape or form.) Maybe that's why i enjoy winter LO's. I can use glitter with pics of my boys and it doesn't seem wierd :) The punched snowflakes are a combination of punches and dies i've collected along the way. I think the larger is Martha stewart and the smaller are all cuttlebug dies. My favorite part on the whole LO is the snow on the title. I was sooooo happy how it came out :) I seen someone else do it...can't remember who so I won't take credit for the idea...but i used my liquid pearls and gooped it on there and voila...looks just like snow.

I was really happy with this card. I did a custom version of it for a friend using dark purple. I looked so elegant. For some reason I can't seem to get it to load on to this page so here's a link if you're curious :)

http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/187183/view/3087451/-1/1.html It's a link to SB.com with my gallery as well. The patterned paper is Basic Grey from the Capella collection. A beautiful collection a papers btw. I made the little rosettes by hand and cut the foil with my cuttlebug corner die. The foil was a gift from my MIL. I'm liking and using it much more than i thought i would originally.

A friend of mine also had a baby girl this month. This card was a lot of fun to make. I have a wierd thing for buttons. Just seems to go with babies :) The patterned paper is from the Que sera collection (love) and the stork is a digital stamp which i just colored in with my blender pen.

And last but not least I don't think you can ever really have too many thank you cards. So here's one I made just using scraps from my stash. I used my cuttlebug Olivia die to cut the "thanks" and my spellbinders die for the label.

We're expecting a big storm here tonight so it's prime opportunity to get some more stuff done :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week and thanks for visiting.

Hugs,

Cass.

Anniversaries galore!!!

2011-02-01T08:07:00.000-08:00

Wow...October is a busy month for anniversaries. Do people know there's 11 other months to choose from? lol I had roughly 10 anni. cards to make this month, and all anniversary. That's not including all the other ones i have to get done lol. I'll post two for now. These ones posted today are ones I made multiples of. They're going to different provinces, countries...soo....the people will never know ;)

Both cards are easel cards made using the medallion stamp from SU!. I embossed with fine white embossing powder and then used my distress inks. ( I'm a sucker for resist ) Flowers are homemade.

Any questions feel free to ask :)

Have a great day!

Cass.

New Cards.

2010-10-27T18:46:00.000-07:00

Just thought I'd post a quick update of a few of the the cards I've finished so far this week :)

My attempt at a masculine anniversary card. I find man cards so hard to do. Any pointers? Please share!

This one is for a friends little girl. It's made using the paper doll cartridge. The girl is magnetic so her dresses attach easily. She has undies too...child friendly :)

And my final card. I used an acrylic resist technique that i learned from Jennifer mcguire last week. Looks quite pretty in person. The paint has a pearlescent shimmer :)

Thanks for checking out the latest. Hope you all have a great week.

Cass.

Babies

2010-09-12T15:56:00.000-07:00

Friends of ours just had their first baby. A little girl...she's adorable :)

Here's the card I made for her and also my entry for the pdcc46 .

And here's our new baby. She'll keep me busy while the kids are in school throughout the week. Her name is Annie :)
Her favorite spot to sleep?
In with my scrap supplies :)

Thanks for checkin' in :) Hope everyone has an amazing week :)

Another Pdcc :)

2010-08-17T12:26:00.000-07:00

Here is my entry for the PDCC42 this week. The image is from martha stewart and i broke out my nesties :)

Here's some other cards I made today.

I made this as an anniversary card for friends.

I embossed the backgrounds with stamps from outlines...then used my blender tool and distress inks. Then I mixed some perfect pearls with water and brushed it onto my BG. Looks good in person...well i think so anyway :) Sorry for the lighting folks...little gloomy here today :(

Have a great week :)

Stay crafty!

New cards :)

2010-08-09T08:46:00.000-07:00

Here are my two entries for this weeks color challenge at the play date cafe :)
PDCC41
I really thought I'd have problems with these colors for some reason. I don't use them very often....but when i got started...i loved it. They were so much fun. I guess that's why we do the challenges...to get us out of our comfort zone :)
Thanks for checking them out :)

Both cards were made using cardstock from my stash. I used summer sun ink and riding hood red ink from SU! and the peddaling past set. The little charms and doo-dads were just jingling around in my drawer at the moment.
Hope everyone has a crafty week!

Getting re-aquainted with challenges

2010-07-14T12:28:00.000-07:00

With company and whatnot the last few weeks, our house has been in aboslute chaos. TOday I decided was a good day to start up with blog challenges and stuff. I feel like i got a lot accomplished :) First i had a sketch for Mojo Monday. MOJO147. Such a fun sketch :) and it doubles as my entry for the weekly inspiration challenge at Stamptv.
The second card i finished today was for the weekly sketch challenge also at stamptv.

I did a lot of paper piecing ( and a bit of stamping ) on the sailboat card which i made as an entry for The cute card thursday challenge 20 schools out. It has to be summer themed.
Ugh...i have a real love/hate relationship with this one. I had it pictured in my head but it just wasn't working out that way. ( and now that i'm looking at the clock....i think i may have missed the deadline anyway lol ).

And last but not least...
Friends of ours moved into their new house over the weekend. I made this little card for them to accompany their housewarming present :)
Anyway, thanks for checking them out. I always appreciate visits and comments. If you guys ever have any questions never hesitate to ask :)
Stay crafty :)

It's been awhile

2010-07-13T11:52:00.001-07:00

So i've recently remodeled my craft area. I should have taken a before picture. It was in the laundry room, in the basement. My DH felt it didn't nuture any creativity so he helped move it into our dining room. Our dining room is simply too narrow to be used for that but perfect to be used for scrapping :)

These were my first two creations. The first picture is an altered canvas. I really felt i needed some wallart.

The second is a card i made for a friend visiting from mexico city. He wanted a special card that he could write a note in for his girl back home. With such a sweet request..how could i say no????

The flower is from a stamp company called "outlines". They're so great for layering and such.

Anyway, thanks for checking out the newest projects....and hopefully my next post won't be too far away :)

Stay crafty :)

A little birdie told me

2010-05-13T17:01:00.000-07:00

This is the card i made for The play date cafe challenge pdcc29.

My patterned papers were from cosmo cricket ( earth love ), and K& company ( Que sera ). The birds are a stamp from inkadinkado called duet.

Thanks for checking it out :)

Happy crafting!

Happy Anniversary to us :)

2010-05-11T07:31:00.000-07:00

Yay...8 yrs. today. Happy anniversary sweetie. This is the card i made for my DH for our special day. I used my EK success five petal flower punch ( i have no idea what the actual name of the thing is ) and bazzil cardstock for the base. I used my cricut with the storybook cartridge to make the frame and outlined it with my white gel pen from Ranger. The patterned paper was from a pack i got at Walmart a few years ago. I'm sorry...i don't remember the name. I really should start labelling things huh?
Thanks for looking...have a great week :)

I love you

2010-05-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

I love the look of corrugated cardboard on any project. Has such great texture, so i had to try it for myself. I used "bay leaf" acrylic paint by folk art and dry brushed it on then ran my tim holtz brushed corduroy over top. The lollipop flowers are made from scraps and the stamp is from hero arts...i think.
Thanks for looking...have a great week!

Anniversary card for friends

2010-05-09T05:21:00.000-07:00

I wanted to quickly post the card i made for some friends yesterday. Their anniversary is today..."Happy Anniversary to you!~" :)

I used Jennifer McGuires pearlized ink blending technique...well a modified version. I didn't have a mister or the pearl powder so i used what i had. Instead of the mist she uses, i mixed some of my perfect pearls with water and brushed it on. I was still pretty happy with the effect.

Anyway, thanks for checkin' it out :)

Have a scrappy sunday ;)

~Challenged~

2010-05-05T06:17:00.000-07:00

It was all about challenges here yesterday. Once again i joined the girls at Stamptv. First was a sketch challenge which you can find here. I made my first card using the Que sera collection, Martha Stewart ribbons, my cuttlebug and cricut.

Secondly was a challenge found here for a tea bag holder. Once again i used the Que sera collection. I'm in love with this paper...can you tell??? Martha Stewart doily punch and a couple brads. The image is a stamp i have from studio G, and the sentiment from SU!.

Here's a quick view of the inside. I really like this tea.
Thanks for checking it out.
Have a crafty day ;)

Happily ever after

2010-05-03T07:46:00.000-07:00

Here's a LO i finished today of my DH and myself at a wedding this past year. It's our anniversary this month so doing this one made me feel all warm and fuzzy :) I used basic grey "offbeat", K&Co. "wild saffron" and black bazzill cardstock. The elements are all from the storybook cricut cartridge.
Thanks for checking it out :)

My NSD :)

2010-05-03T05:20:00.000-07:00

So NSD didn't go quite as planned I'll admit. As usual something got planned which would take up just enough time so i couldn't get all those layouts made that i wanted to. I got one done (yay!). The base is Basic grey "offbeat". The rest is cardstock from my stash. I used my fiskars border punch to frame it and added some homemade blossoms. One of the boys brought Benjamin Bear home for a few nights and we had to do a journal of his visit. It was a fun little project. We ended up taking pictures of Owen and Benjamin on the play set in our backyard, in the leaves and things like that. Printed the pictures and did a mini scrapbook page for the teacher. Really...i'm a scrapbooker...if an opportunity presents itself...what would you expect ?
We ended up attending a congregation get-together and i was on cupcake duty. Ahhh cupcakes...at least it's a creative outlet. I watched some videos on how to decorate some snazzy cupcakes and tried my hand at it. I was very pleased with the outcome...especially since these were my first. What about you? Did you get everything done that you had planned to????

Thanks for stopping by...have a great day ;)

Life is a Journey

2010-04-28T17:46:00.000-07:00

So I took part in another challenge today...this time with the girls at Stamptv. Patterned paper is by Graphic45, sentiment is studio G. I used my fleur de lis impressabilities for the embossed dark brown and as a stencil for my card base. Branches are from the storybook cartridge and the little flowers are from a punch i had floating around.

Thanks for checking it out. Stay crafty!

Back into the swing of things.

2010-04-17T12:36:00.000-07:00

So I took a couple hours and actually cleared a 12x12 spot for me to work in my creative space yesterday. Since hubby is doing renos most of his stuff has ended up in my space. Anyway, now that i have a bit of room i can get back to crafting. It's just that kinda day here too...kinda gray and rainy. Perfect.
This card was made for a challenge on another blog. The Play Date Cafe. The challenge was Black and white with pop of orange. I never really do black and white cards so i must admit this was a challenge...but i enjoyed it :)

Here's another card i made today:

I used basic cardstock for most of it. The red section is from basic grey, the paper roses are graphic 45. I used my CB to emboss the blue then hit it with silver sugar glimmer mist. The scallops are yellow layered with vellum and the colors are much brighter in person. It's been kinda icky here today, so to get a shot with decent light was a little difficult.

Thanks for checking in guys...have a good one :)
Happy crafting!
Cass.

Thinking of you

2010-04-16T17:59:00.000-07:00

I've been having so much fun lately experimenting with all the different tutorial out there on how to make paper flowers. Here's the latest. Looks a bit like a carnation i suppose. A friend of mine has hit a bit of a rough patch so i'm hoping this might lift her spirits a wee bit.

I also bought my very first spellbinders die ( large labels ) fantastic! I'm in love and i think i may have an addiction brewing ;)

This is the second card i made this evening ( guess the creative juices were flowing )...

It's my sister-in-laws anniversary this month and surprise...for once i remembered. I've been trying really hard to be that one in the family that remembers all the big events and has the appropiate card....that's the goal :)

Anyway, that's what i got done tonight...hope everyone has a great weekend!

Snowflakes are like winters butterflies.

2010-03-30T09:18:00.001-07:00

Hi people :) I think we're finally to settle back into our regular routine around here. Over our March break i took one of the little guys to visit Oma and Opa in Nova Scotia for the week. It was nice to be back home for a bit. My hubby and our other little man stayed home and attempted some renos on the house.

Mom and Dad are without the Internet...so i felt a little cut off from the planet...but we're back and online :)

I brought some of my scrapbook stuff because some of Moms friends wanted to learn how to do it. So with minimal supplies i decided to whip up a LO. Wow...feels like forever since I've made a 12x12er.

Anyway, I'm still thinking of adding some little things to it...but thanks for looking and hope everyone enjoyed their March breaks...if you had one ;)

365 cards~sketch challenge

2010-03-04T12:16:00.001-08:00

Had a lot of fun with this one. Pulled out all my inks and some scraps i had been hanging on to for way too long...and voila. Me likey :)

Circle, Silver, and pearls :)

2010-03-04T09:05:00.000-08:00

I found another great card making site...how i'll keep up with all these fabulously creative people i don't know :) The challenge was to use a circle, silver, and pearls on your card. I used the foil embossing technique, and also tried embossing with acrylic paint. Gives it a bit of a shabby look. Thanks for checkin' it out guys :)

My revised entry for a sketch.

2010-03-02T10:27:00.000-08:00

So here is the original sketch that i was supposed to stick to with the last card....that obviously didn't happen lol. So today i gave it a second try :) Here's what i came up with. I used mostly scraps i had in my stash. Ran the teal piece through my cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder, punched the pink with my Martha stewart punch and the rest was made using my cricut and the storybook cartridge.
Thanks for checkin' it out :)

Dahlia fold all occasion card :)

2010-03-02T06:03:00.001-08:00

I've been wanting to try this fold for quite some time now. I think the final product is stunning :) So much depth and detail...love it! Anyway, i made this lil' number last night, it started of from a sketch but...it took on a life of its own. I used K&Company patterned papers that i inked with tim holtz walnut stain and scratched up the edges with my finger nail a wee big. The rhinestones were from walmart. I'm a sparkle gal so i found a little tube that was cheaper than the actual flourishes. I figured i could make a flourish myself so we'd give it a try :) Then i just finished off the edges with some faux stitching.
Thanks for looking :)

You're unfrogettable ;)

2010-03-01T09:07:00.000-08:00

You're unfrogettable...words I think we all need to hear a little more often than we do :) I made this today for the Mojo Monday challenge. This is my first challenge...sooo I really hope i'm doing this right. I used the unfrogettable set from stampin' up, cosmo cricket patterned papers and bazzil cardstock. I used some of the new Tim holtz distress ink colors which i'm in love with right now...tumbled glass, bundled sage and weathered wood ( not new ).

Thanks for checkin' it out :)

...Just Because...

2010-02-23T13:04:00.001-08:00

So it seems like forever since I've sat down and made something that was just for fun. We got tons of snow so the kids were outside and the house was relatively quiet...which equals either dishes or craft time. Craft time !

I used a stamp a friend had given me ( sorry no tag so i haven't the slightest who makes it) my new EKsuccess border punch with the postage stamp edge and all the cardstock was from bazzil.

The leaves are a stamp from a stampin' up set i have ( best blossoms ).

Baby Album....finished....finally!!!

2010-02-14T16:46:00.000-08:00

So i finally finished my friends baby album. I didn't post all the pages but here's just a few. I really hope she's happy with it. One of my first albums...not seasoned at it just yet ;)

More cards.

2010-02-04T14:35:00.000-08:00

I thought maybe I'd post some of the other cards I'd finished in the last little bit. I really wish I'd taken the time to write down manufacturers names and whatnot...but most of the product ( i.e. paper) was primarily from my scrap bin. The card "dream" in person is actually very sparkly...hard to show on a photo. The other two were anniversary cards for family.

My attempt at home decor :)

2010-02-04T13:18:00.001-08:00

We've just moved into our first home ( yay! ), but, i have to admit...things are looking a little bare. I'm sure this is something all new home owners experience...especially when upgrading. Anyway, i seen this little project while surfing awhile ago...and well, the cricut manages to do amazing things :)
Very simply project...I picked up some small tea light votive holder from the craft section ($1 each ) and used my george cartridge on the slot setting. I backed it with vellum and tied it with sisal. All in all, took maybe 20 minutes? And all for under $10... i didn't think that was bad at all :)
I made an alternative set for our guest room where the holders were a little bigger. I cut out letters spelling "RELAX" in vinyl ( using my storybook cartridge ) and centered them on the holders. Then I bought frosting spray ( I'm not sure if that's the technical name or not ) but they look pretty too...I'll have to picture up those ones too...just need more tea lights :)

Just playing around with some of my scraps :) It was hard to get a picture showing the dimension on this card...which there seemed to be a lot of.

New Baby :)

Friends of ours just had a new baby girl this past Thursday. I seem to be one of the only scrappy one among my friends (i'm working on converting them but it takes time ) so i was asked to make some cards for them. I have two done so far that i'll post but i'll post any more I make.
Whatcha think?

Thank you

Here I used the Wild Saffron collection from K&Company for all my patterned paper. I used the border punch from MS ( lattice i think???) and for the leaf cut out i used my cricut with the storybook cart.

My very first post.

So here we go. I'm joining the technical age and going to attempt the blogging thing. I thought this may be good motivation to keep up with my card making, receive some constructive criticisms, and well, get to know some really nice people :) Just bear with me...I really have no idea what I'm doing.
