Mural Update - Work in Progress

We made it out for another painting day and got more detail on the fence and a start on the flora for the front of the scene.  I'm thinking one more trip out and it'll be finished.

I snapped a few that were closer.  These images should be used to help me plan what I'll do next time.. but I don't paint that way.  I don't plan every detail and placement out.  Even if I did, it would change as the image developed.  So... flowers are next.  Bring on the color explosion~ 

Anyway... here are the two sides in better detail.

The baby has come!  I don't know any more than she was born on the 22nd.  Congrats to the whole family.  I'll have more details on the next and final update on this mural project. 

Then I'll be looking to start another.... anybody else need something painted?? *wink*

Mural Project - Work In Progress

A friend of mine called and asked me where she could get her daughter some stencils for a picket fence. She wanted to paint one on the wall in her nursery.  Well the conversation continued and I volunteered to do a mural for them instead of stencils.

She lives an hour and a half away so we have short painting windows of a 2 to 4 hours per painting day.  That includes set up and clean up.  I'm not complaining... no way.  I'm loving doing this project... just wanted to explain why we are only this far on painting day 4.  We have two to three more days of painting to go.

I'll have pics of each painting day when it's finished - but I brought my camera this time and snapped a few shots of the work in progress and wanted to share them today.

Scrubby grass and weeds were added to the field and the fence was blocked in,.  Shading and texture on the fence, crossbars and the gate come on the next painting day.  As well as the wild flowers in the field

Here's a closeup of the tree.  I love painting trees.  The rope will have a tire swing at the end of it.  this may or may not have more detail added.  It all depends on how it fits with the flowers and bushes in front of and climbing over the fence.

Hope she likes it!

Joanne's Boo

Joanne started out as a blog design customer and turned into one of my good friends.  She's funny and off the wall and just the type of person you love talking (or emailing) with.  I knew she was turning into a good friend when I realized I was doodling while talking to her.  Do you do this?  Do you doodle when you are on the phone?  Well I do ... but only when I'm on the phone with people I enjoy talking to.  See, it's sort of like I just let go with people I like.  That's when the doodles come.. at least the one's that are weird and wild and cool. 

So.. here's today's doodle..  Why a sea monster eating a spider?  I don't know. These things just happen...

The content of the doodle is in no way a reflection on the person with whom I was speaking.

What?  Oh the title... well I did start this post with something in mind and got sidetracked.  Ok, well Joanne, my friend that I mentioned before... she sent me a card.  It's a very cool card and I wanted to share it with you.  (BTW I have several other cards that came in the mail TODAY!!! for my birthday and I'll be sharing these too.  Such talented people out there!)

So before you stone me... here's Joanne's card.

Isn't it so cool... and the tiny tag says "Friend".  Awwww oh and did you see all the needle piercing?  Whew.  Then, I opened it up and BOOM!

Nope, this is NOT another card.  It's the INSIDE of the card.  Whoa!  Yeah!  Sweet!  The black CS is a pocket that could hold a gift card or something.. but look at this detail.  Textured card stock, two nestabilities, ribbons, eyelets, ticket corner punches, another wild die cut border, embossing and needle piercing.  And that is on the INSIDE of the card.  Whew.

Did you notice the watermark on the images?  Yeah.. it's hers.  I just finished making it so I could post her card.  How cool is that??

Ok, now I have to rethink my cards.  They are ok on the outside but for the most part I woefully neglect the inside.

Spooky Tags!

Do you have a lot of Halloween stamps? Well I don't. *pout* So I pulled out a skull that I'd carved for a skull LTC swap and decided to not use. He's supposed to be laughing (as in "Dead Men Tell no Tales" Bwahahahahah) He's pretty spooky right?

The tiny little black edge you see is from a 1.75" circle punch that I adhered to the back. Why? Well... just cause I could and I like the look of the little black edge.

I stamped him on green to coordinate with the card I was working on. The green lent itself very well to creating shadows when I was painting.

I used a water brush and the china white from my watercolor pencils for the skull and an olive green and black for the shadows behind him. I pick up the color directly from the pencils onto the brush and mix on an acrylic stamping block (when needed). Keep in mind that the card stock is going to darken with the water and your finished color will be lighter when everything dries. If it's too light, go back and add more color.The tag on the card is cut out of DSP so it needed the black to make it stronger. I cut that one with the circle scissor plus so I could get a bigger border on it. The tag is tied onto the ribbon and loose otherwise. I think it's cool when stuff on the card moves, or flaps or something. You too?

I liked the way it turned out so much that I did six more!! (tags not cards) The one at the top is part of those six. They are on Stampin Up Kiwi Kiss (retired) card stock cause it's the stiffest stuff I have. Seriously nice thick paper... anyway you need that with the tag clearlits die by Sizzix. It was gifted to me and I really like it. It's clear in the center so you can see what you are going to cut out. So cool.

Oh! Did I tell you I got a cuttlebug from a friend for my birthday? *squeal* It's like the most amazing gift EVER! Another wonderful friend came and took me out to lunch - risking life and limb to do so since it was my first day I was allowed to go out without a mask. Yeah.. swine flu hit our house and it was NOT fun. Wash your hands boys and girls!

Now to figure out what to do with the six spooky tags that I made... Joey says I can give 'em to the teachers. I was thinking of making some banners with punch pal bats... these might work really well with that theme. What would you do with 'em?

Thanks for looking!

Embossed Glitter Technique

The glitter is so hard to see on photos. *sigh* Ok let's talk glitter for a minute. My favorite cards when I was a kid were the ones that shimmered. Now I know that people hate to work with glitter because it gets everywhere. This technique is one way to use it without it getting all over the place.

Simply mix your glitter with embossing powder. My formula is one part glitter to three parts embossing powder. You just have to use really fine glitter for this to work.

Yes, you can buy embossing powder with glitter in it, but I tend to skip buying things that have a single purpose. I like to use the clear embossing powder over colored ink or mixed with other things to get the effect without investing in a huge variety of colors and types.

Thanks for looking!

Simply Fabulous - Use Your Scraps

I love the little flower brads and the combination of the ticket corner punch and then rounding the corners on the mat. I'm not a real flower kind of girl. No really. *huff* You can stop laughing now.

Ok, a boy brought me flowers the summer when I was 17. The poor guy thought it was going to win me over and I'd finally say yes to going out with him. Cut flowers are dead, useless and therefore a waste of money. I told him so while I was rubbing down my iron gray mare's flanks. He learned though because he came back the next week with a new red halter. We had a great time on our date and he was a sweet guy.

Definately not a flower kind of girl. However, some of the people I give cards to... are.
*smile* So this is for one of them. The point here is that you can still design with your style, but take your audience into consideration. It's no different than taking the time to purchase a card that is right for the person or occasion.

Think about it, get your scraps out and play!

The Gnome Knows - Use Your Scraps

Yes. The Gnome knows who made a stamp in his image. Oh, yeah and I do too now! Sharon confirmed that it is a Stampin Up stamp - probably retired now.

Ok, we have reached the end..... of the gnomes! The scrap bins are still HUGE.

Thanks for looking!

Pocket Card - Use Your Scraps

A pocket card is a lot of fun. It's more like a postcard but you make a pocket for it. It's just like the sleeve or pocket that I made for Morgan's one of a kind ATC/LTC. In this case, it's quite a bit larger than the obligatory 2.5 x 3 inches of an ATC. For a card sized project, you seal and envelope and then trim an end to open it.

Mine? All scraps... again. LOL Even the envelope. It was even crimped like this and tossed in the box. So I pulled other decorative paper, card stock, rub ons and stickers from the boxes and this just sort of happened.

When you pull the card out it looks like this:



Go ahead. Say it. Say it out loud!! "Will she ever finish using those scraps?" LOL

Sticker Fun - Use Your Scraps

I am a collector. I tend to collect things, bits baubles.... scraps. You never know when that little bottle cap is going to be the perfect thing for your project. So it's hard for me to throw things out. Really hard. For you too?

In my quest to use some of my own scraps and those that were given to me... I submit to you another card. Yes, it's all scrap. All of it. Left over bits. Scraps can be more than just paper. Stickers that were left on the sheet after you'd used what you needed or a few of those cool wire shapes left over from another project. This card is a coming together of a lot of those elements.

No stamping here. Really. It's stickers, so there's no coloring either. I did draw the lines of glue in the big flower for the glitter. *nodding* Ahhh glitter. That's the stuff of controversy but we'll talk about that hot topic another time.

Thanks for looking!

Morgan's Mini Book

Morgan has discovered the art of writing. Reading is coming along, but she prefers to write a story. So I make her special little books to record her thoughts and feelings. She fills 'em with short stories sometimes and that's just fine with us.

Would you guys like to read one of her short stories? I could post one for you.

Anyway, this little book is embellished on the outside and a bit of color and stamping on the inside cover as well. I gave it to her on Sunday and instead of writing in it, she asked if she could give it to her teacher as a gift. So sweet! So she packed it up and gave it to Ms Cassell on Tuesday.

Hope she likes it!

Something to Crow About - Punch Pal

OMGosh! Isn't this little crow the cutest ever? I saw it on a Ellen's blog and just had to make him. I had to do it from memory too because I was at a friends house. We punched out the pieces and constructed the crow together. However, i didn't finish the card till today. I wanted to use some of the ... um... yeah.. scraps that I had here at home to finish it off.

He's just too adorable though?

Fibers and Stitching and Charms, Oh My!

It's Stamping 411 Challenge time again. I wanted to play with some of the scraps for this card and I'm so excited about how it turned out.

The stitching is by machine - the fibers were in a bag full of yarn. I stitched them down to keep them in place, then tied on the stamped medallion and the charm. The stamp is one of those clear gel stamps, colored in with a Souffle marker and shaded with watercoloring.

There's a Gnome in my Garden - Use your Scraps

3-D Elements and scanners... just don't mix!

Another of the little gnomes! I'll have to ask her where the stamp came from! Morgan picked the papers for this card. All of it comes from the scrap bin. I know the card stock is SU but I'm not sure about the DSPs or ribbon.

August Swap - Sharing Again

This card is by Joy. I love the colors and this stamp set is awesome!

Here's Gina's Card. She did some spotlighting and that's something I've never tried. It's fun!

Bowl of Blooms - Use your Scraps

The flowers on the card are paper pieced embellishments from the box my friend gave me. There were five of these little flower sets, so I made that many of these cards. Do you think they are too girly to give the Junior Scouts as a welcome back? Maybe they could give them to their Mom's instead. Hmmm...

The card bases are Rich Razzleberry from my own stash but the rest came from the boxes. I used Circle Circus on white scraps with Rich Razzleberry ink for the light colored background. The DSP is double sided so it could be Stampin Up but I don't know for sure.

I love how sponging the edges adds depth and drama -- this was the first card made from the scraps btw. I just had to play with the little bowl of flowers.

August Swap - Share

Here are a couple of the cards from the August Team Meeting Swap. The scanner can't do these cards justice. So an updated pic will have to come in later when I can do a photo shoot again.


This first one is by Tammy. I just love this stamp set! The polar bear stamps are in a shimmery white. Isn't it a fun card? Tammy always has such great ideas and she's great to have on your team in the Stampin Feud Game!

This one is by Eva. The same Eva that swears she can't create, who thinks she's just mediocre at stamping. HA! The little dove nestled in the origami frame is adorable. She's so much better than she thinks she is... don't you agree?

Team Challenge

UPDATE: This card got selected for the Stamper's Showcase! Thank you so much!

At our Stampin Up Team Meetings - we have challenges for our monthly swaps. For the August Meeting, the challenge was to use the sketch for the current Stamping 411 Challenge.


Everyone puts their cards on a table and we vote on the favorite card for the swap. I don't know if I've ever even gotten a vote... but this time... my card won! I was shocked and excited and so thankful that others liked it enough to vote for it! Thanks guys!

Ok, so... without making you wait any longer..... Here's my card:


I started with Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango and Basic Black card stock. After adding texture and tearing the strips, I inked the Dusty Durango with the same ink color and that's ok, but I wanted even more umph on the textured Bermuda Bay piece. Notice how the paper seems to change color as it nears the edge? That's the effect of the Certainly Celery I used to ink the edges.

The star is from the Fun and Fast Notes stamp set. It was one of the sets I selected with my demo kit. What? Oh yes, you can customize your kit. Isn't that cool? Anyway... It's stamped onto Whisper White in Dusty Durango and then cut out and inked. The colored stars are stamped in black and colored in with markers. Finally, the star in front has Crystal Effect over the yellow and white. It's got texture and shine and really enhances the colors.

Last but not least, I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position the phrase from the Wings of Friendship stamp set... oh yeah then a little piercing.

Use Your Scraps - Groovy Gnome

A friend of mine sent out a call for help this weekend. She was cleaning out her stamping room and needed someone to come and take away the things she decided to let go of. I was the first on the scene and she filled my car with goodies. I worried that there wouldn't be any for the others and if you were called upon to help and were left empty handed, please call me!

I spent the weekend going through things, sorting and organizing. There were two full boxes of paper scraps. There was more than just scraps though, it also had a few stamped images that someone had started and tossed in the scrap bin when something else seemed to work better. This is always the way with me, so I fully understand why these images were in there. You too?

This little gnome was one of three, fully colored images in the boxes and... well... I just couldn't NOT do something with them. They are so cute!

The entire card is made with scraps! I don't know the names of the DSP, stamp image or ribbon. I think the card base is Groovy Guava. The buttons came from my button jars and the colors just seemed to work with the DSP. Behind the image is a paper that looked like balsa wood. It's not double sided, so I know it was not Stampin Up.

Non-Traditional Christmas Color Challenge

I went over to Sharon Field's house to today for a play date. Sharon's stamping room is jam packed with stamping goodness! It was like walking into a candy store. Papers in every color you can imagine, ribbons to match. Stamp sets stacked up high. Markers and reinkers and glitter... oh my!

We had fun playing with some of the new things in the catalog. Here's the card I made for her color challenge. We were to use specific non-traditional colors to create a Christmas Card. It was originally taller, but I was not all that thrilled with the stuff I did on the Bermuda Bay paper. So... when I got home, I took it apart and reworked it.

Thank you Sharon, it was a blast!

Stampin Up Color Codes - and an easier way to use them!

Go to my design site to get the Stampin Up Color Codes. You can enter them into your photo editing program each time you use them. That works. However, I was entering them over and over.

So, I spent a couple of hours putting together a Photoshop Color Swatch of Stampin Up Colors and it's VERY useful! You can have a categorized list of the Stampin Up! Color Families that you can select with the eyedropper tool. Easy peasy!


No need to open a web page or other document; The colors are available on your sidebar anytime. It's even easy to install!

My featured stamp set is a new hostess only stamp set called - Wings of Friendship. It lends itself well to a new technique that I'll be sharing with you today. Now, I know you don't want to read a bunch of stuff so I promise to keep it short! Now on to the projects.

Color Rocks!

This is a solid image stamp, so coloring directly onto the stamp with markers gives you a lot of room to play with the colors and shading. This is Rich Razzleberry(bird), Crushed Curry, Summer Sun and Dusty Durango on the flowers with certainly celery on the leaves and vines. His wings have some Dazzling Diamonds. The swirls on the background are a direct transfer techniqe using Crushed Curry on So Saffron card stock.

Grunge is Grand

I just love this new In Color Soft Suede! It's delish! The image is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink on the Soft Suede Card stock. Ripped and roughed up, wadded up a few times and stepped on for good measure. Did I mention this is a project to get out allllllll your frustrations? *smirk* Then the edges and creases were inked with the Soft Suede.

The background paper is faux handmade paper. I used tissue paper to dab on several ink colors from the reinkers. Isn't it just fun?

Pop Ups Make Me Happy!

Ok, this is a stamped image that I made for a project that didn't make the cut for the tour. After I'd finished the other three, I just couldn't throw this guy away. so I made a very quick popup card. The background behind the bird really makes it look like he's welcoming the morning sun! It's just all the shades of yellow sponged onto Whisper White card stock. (darker as it goes toward the edges) Give this a try and you'll love how it looks around your images.

Faux Etching All-Aglow

I know, I know... what IS that? I developed it a long time ago and recently shared it with my local Jacksonville Starz group. Stay tuned for more info and a tutorial that I'll post in the days following the tour. It's so simple, you'll wonder why you didn't try it sooner!

My Princess Interview

Posted on The Royal Tour's Blog on Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Meet Teressa Thompson, Featured Princess

I would like to introduce Tee one of our wonderful princesses for the royal blog tour. Tee is multi talented and very proficient in Photo shop I recently had the opportunity to visit her blog and she has several great tutorials for Photo Shop! I asked her several questions and here are her answers.

How long have you been stamping?

I've been stamping for about 30 years. As a kid, I stamped images with everything that looked like it would leave a good impression. With rubber stamps? Probably about 15 years. With stamps that didn't belong to someone else? Just 4 years. Letter boxing got me started creating my own stamps and collecting stamp images. It wasn't long before I was using them in journals, on stationary and for kids projects and that sort of thing. You know how it is, Stamps have a way of working their way into our every day lives.

Where are you from?
I have lived in a lot of places on the map, but Jacksonville Beach, Florida is home. No other place is like it really. It's not a small town, but it feels like the best parts of one. You know the guy at the bank (Josh) and the gal at the grocery store (Mel). Things are a little slower, drivers are more courteous (the local drivers - that is) and everyone seems ready to exchange a hello or a smile. Flip flops are a valid part of any wardrobe. Oh, and as my oldest son says, "The beach is just right over there -->!!"

Do you have any other hobbies besides stamping?
OH my! I think it would be easier to say what I don't do! Right now, I'm doing computer graphics and playing around with photo editing. We also throw pottery on the wheel, Letterbox, Geocache, hike, bike (new one - as little one just learned to ride), sew, read, write and play in the sand on a fairly regular basis.

How long have you been with SU?
Stampin Up hooked me in December '08. I saw a you tube video using a word window punch and wanted one. Let me tell you, it's not easy to find at all. I must have gone to every craft store looking for it. Nada. Of course. Then I saw the coolest stamp pads on the planet. Dude, she squeezed the lid and it didn't break. Then she opened it and the ink was on the lid and she used it to color in her stamped image. Huh. Now I wanted that more than I wanted the punch. Luckily, I was able to snag the video off you tube and then edit it to get a blurry name off of ONE frozen image. Stampin Up!, a company I'd never heard of.A google later and I emailed Janet White. We talked about the discounts involved with signing up and here I am! Oh and yes... I do have my Word Window Punch now! *wink*

Do you want to share anything about your family with us?
I'm blessed with a wonderful family! We are a blended group with five kids. Three of our boys are grown and that leaves Joey (13) and Morgan (9) at home.

What is your favorite SU color?
Chocolate Chip. Wait.. um.. Brocade Blue. OH.. Rich Razzleberry. Ummm I could go on all day. Do I really have to choose? LOL

What is your favorite stamping technique?
The current favorite changes constantly. Learning new stuff is what I crave. However, I do love trying to replicate some of the things I can do on the screen on paper. My all time standby is watercolor painting; I love getting things out of classic ink that others swear you can only get from Copics. Classic ink is wonderful for Sumi-E by the way!

Is there any part of stamping or creating that you wish you knew more about?
There's always something to learn. My personal motto is, "Learning is a way of life." If we approach everything this way, we are open to the ideas that surround us. So, everything I don't know is what I am looking forward to learning. Relearning things is fun too!

What inspires you? or Where do you find inspiration?
Teaching inspires me. There's nothing like seeing people learn something new, or a new way to look at something they are already doing. I find inspiration there, in the souls of others, in the lines of a building, in the tangle of overgrown brush on the trail and in the whispering surf.

Are there other designers whose work you admire?
Dawn Griffith - love her videos, Sharon Field, Becky Roberts, Lee Conrey, Carrie Gaskin, Mel of Mel Stampz, Liz or SHH - Stamp Carver, Blogger and Friend Mama Cache - Stamp Carver and Friend. This list is in no particular order and certainly incomplete!

Do you have any stampin secrets you would like to share with us?OH gosh no! I will die with these secrets! Bwahhahahah! Just kidding. I share everything. Although there's a lot that I've done over the years and it just doesn't occur to me that others don't know about it. There's this one project that I'll be doing for the tour that I developed many many years ago. I did it for the Jacksonville Starz team and was surprised that nobody else had heard of it. I won't tell you a lot about it, other than it's called Faux Etching and I will post a tutorial on it after the tour!

Wow isn't she amazing! Tee along with all our other Blog princesses will take part in the royal blog tour July 27th and 28th. Tee promises to show case some wonderful things so be sure to sign up as a follower so you can get all the details! If you would like to more of her work before the tour and get some great tips.
