Pour a Glass

Club Scrap has made the switch to clear stamps and I couldn't be happier!  I mean, could these new Wine Time stamps be made for anyone else BUT me :)  We recently jumped in our RV for some exploring and I only brought these stamps, inks and coloring mediums.  I wanted to challenge myself to keep things simple.  

Inked edges, images colored with colored pencils.

Colored corks with Copics and fussy cut. Edges of card base colored with Copics.

Rubbed ink pad along paper strip for color. Colored edges of card base with Copics.

Stamped wine bottles in background with second stamping. Copic colored edges.

Colored green paper ribbon with Copics.  Rubbed ink pad on burgundy ribbon. Inked edges.

Using all the quotes for a background is the magic of clear stamps!

Wine Time paper collection is a perfect companion. 

Make Life Big

Happy Saturday!  Just a few days left before Christmas.  I had the fortune of attending several work Christmas parties and am truly blessed this holiday season.  I couldn't wait to digitally scrap and share some of the fun captured in photos.

Club Scrap recently released a Coffeehouse collection but you don't have to limit its use to just coffee. I used several of the digital stamps, papers and border strips for this layout.

How Ya Bean?

I am not a coffee drinker.  I usually start my day with a Diet Coke.  I LOVE the smell of coffee but absolutely detest the taste of coffee. Can't even do mocha ice cream. With that "bean" said...I adore the Club Scrap Coffeehouse collection! 

I am currently on the road and only have the Club Scrap Coffeehouse Hybrid Collection to work with.  I created this cute card for the Card Sketch challenge on the Club Scrap Chat Facebook Group. What do you do with this digital card you ask?  You can either send it via email, text or print it from you home computer and attach it to a blank card base.

Happy Thanksgiving

May you all be blessed with a relaxing day filled with family, friends and fabulous wine :)

No "I" in Team

One of my favorite perks of being a monthly subscriber to Club Scrap's paper kit is the bonus sketch.  The bonus sketch includes a list of papers needed and cutting instructions to create a two page layout. What a fabulous way to use your own stash. By simply rotating the pages you can reuse the formula and scrap a whole album. 

October's bonus formula is by far one of my favorite sketches! I love all the options for photos, journaling and embellishments.

Happy Sunday!

My crafting time has been limited this month.  I don't know about you but that makes me cranky.  I did find some time to play with the new fabulous Club Scrap Expeditions hybrid collection. Using digital page templates really cuts down on the design decisions and makes pages come to life fairly quickly.

Expeditions

Unstoppable

I am honored to be kicking off the new Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge: "Z is for Zaphod Beeblebrox". Lindsey was kind enough to explain what that even meant :)  Luckily the sisterhood is accepting a more general topic of space related projects. I created this background with Stipple Mists and Perfect Pearls.  

     Spray a white mixed media white background with water.

     Spray Indigo and black Stipple Mists on panel.

     Spray with water again.  Let dry.

     Finish with a spritz of Perfect Pearls mixed with water. 

Unfortunately I couldn't quite photography the shimmer of the space galaxy background.

I hope you can play along with Edna and all the Snarky Sisters

 and show us your galaxy cards.
