Shimmer paint!!

Wow what a busy week! 3 of my boys are back in school, YEAH!! Now I might just have time to stamp and share each day!!

ANY way back to the card. I LOVE the new Shimmer paint. On this card I used Platinum item #116807 ($5.95). Don't you just love how it shimmers!!


I did double duty with this card I did ways to use it challenge 235. RED. you can see the whole gallery here . And I promised I would use the Simmer paint this week on a card.


I used Delightful Decorations and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used a Sponge dauber to apply the simmer paint to my stamps before stamping. You will want to let the image dry for a minute or so before you punch it out.
Also used on this card was Day and Night DSP and whisper white Taffata ribbon. I used the scallop edge punch, ornament punch, corner rounder, word window and designer label punch.
Card stock is just Real read and Basic Black. Also I used Silver cording and silver brads.
thanks for looking,

411 challange 115

This is the card I made for Stampin 411's challenge 115.

WOW what a fun challenge. And boy did I need the push. I have been in a bit of a rut lately. I think it has to do with all the stuff going on, the garden is ready and I have lots of canning to do. I have been feeling pretty guilty when I go into my stamp room knowing I should be in the kitchen working on Beans, or Pickles or oinions or carrots you get the picture!


But I decided that today I would stamp before I got to work in the kitchen, and I am super glad that I did!
I had so much fun making this card and I am SO LOVING this new set from the mini catty! Twick or Tweet item # 116497 for $18.95 and the new DSP Night and Day #116768 for $11.95 this paper comes with 2 black polka dot window sheets! How cool is that!


I used Basic Black cs for the card base, then layered that with Pumpkin Pie cs. I then used a layer of DSP from Night and Day ( 2 3/4 x 3/ 3/4) I love the swirls on this piece! I used a piece of Basic Black (2 3/4 x 5) and layered that with Pumpkin Pie again and then the DSP with writing from Night and Day.



I Stamped the Jack-o-lantern's on another piece of the Dsp with writing in Craft Basic black, then I sprinkled on iridescent ice Embossing powder. Heated that up with the Heat gun and WOW! I do love glitter! I used my Blender pens to color them in with Pumpkin Pie ink, and then I cut them out.





I Stamped them again using the Craft Basic Black onto the DSP for the card, and then used Dimensionals to pop them up.
I tied a piece of Black Grosgrain ribbon around that layer and then used Dimensionals to pop the whole thing up.

I was going to add a sentiment to the card, but I decided that I liked it just the way it was!
I can't wait to play more with this set, but must get back to the kitchen for now!

thanks for stopping by,
Jennifer Jones

Big Shot Hero

I wish I could be as creative as some people! Stampin' Up! had a contest at Convention for the best commercial. I was unable to attend convention this year, but this is the winner. I wish I could have seen all the others as I am sure that they were all great!
I hope you enjoy this!

Christmas is coming....

I am starting to get ready for Christmas.. Oh man that is just a good feeling! I never get ready this early! But all the new sets in the Mini and the catalog have really inspired me!

I wanted to start my Christmas card sharing spree with this card I made last year. I loved it so much that I made extras to send out this year!
This card was made using Shellabrate, I love this set, mostly because I live on the Oregon coast! The image was colored using ink pads and blender pens. The base of the card is Creamy Caramel, and the DSP is from last years mini.. I really did love that paper (I horded some for this season!)
I stamped the little fish on the inside of this card, I love him! I was so happy to see that this little set made the cut for this year!

Be prepared I will be sharing alot of Christmas cards this next few weeks!

Thanks for looking, come back again soon!

busy days



So I have been mia lately. I have to confess that summer has been catching up with me. And the fact that my trial to Adobe Photo Shop has ran out... well I can only hope that I can afford to purchase the real deal on payday! I have been having all sorts of problems with my other photo stuff on my computer, I didn't realize I had fixed so many pictures with Adobe, and now they will not open, so I cannot share them with you!




Until I can share some new cards and creations I want to share these great photos that I took last spring while on a girls vacation ( with 6 of my girl friends!) with you.
Take a guess of where these pic's were taken??? They were in the same building.

The first one to guess correctly will get a rak inspired by these pics.
SO WHERE in the USA where these taken? Here's a hint One was on the ground and one was on the ceiling,
