Fall is Just Around the Corner!

Once the kids are back in school you know that Fall is not far off. I love the sights, sounds, and smells of Fall and, quite frankly, I am ready for the humid 90-degree days to be over and done! My card today is another adorable stamp, Pumpkin Stack (#12910) from QKR Stampede (if you follow my personal blog, you may have seen this card yesterday).

This little stack of pumpkins, with their cute little expressions, reminded me of the song learned in elementary school . . . "Five little pumpkins sitting at the gate; the first one said, "Oh my it's getting late . . . " Did you learn that song? Do you remember the lyrics? I remember learning it, singing it in class, and singing it at an assembly--we sure thought we were something for a bunch of first graders!! As with most of the images I color, the image was stamped with Ancient Page Coal Black waterproof dye ink and colored with Prismacolor watercolor pencils and a blender pen. The brads and background paper were purchased at my local craft store. If you would like to see another Fall project, go to this post at my blog. LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR THE DESIGN TEAM AT QKR STAMPEDE: Would you like to work with some of these adorable stamps by QKR Stampede?

Stamp for all Season

Hello and Happy Friday!!!  JennK here with you today.  I have a project to share using the Birdhouses stamp.  I thought it would be great to show how versatile a stamp really can be and what better way then to show one stamp used for all 4 seasons?  So I decided to create this birdhouse wall hanging.

And here are a few close up...

Here is Spring and Summer birdhouses. 

  

And here is Fall and Winter Birdhouses.

For all the birdhouses I colored them in using Copics. On the spring Birdhouse I also added some Flower Soft.  And the winter scene I used some glitter on top of liquid applique for the snow.  I also added some stickles to a few leaves and other area for a frosty effect.  

I hope you enjoyed seeing how one stamp can be used for so many different seasons.  

Happy Craftin'!, JennK

Just a Note...Teacher Gifts

Hi there...Jessica here with you today. Today I wanted to share these little gifts I made for back to school teacher gifts. Yeah I am one of THOSE moms...lol. Since I was making little Post-it note holders, I thought the Just a Note sentiment from the QKR Stampede store was PERFECT! Here is a picture of the front of them. Aren't they cute???!!! The "biggest" part of them is the 3 1/2" scallop squares. So they are pretty small, but perfect for a teacher's desk or even a purse. You could make them as a gift for just about anyone, and personalize the background to fit that person or occasion.

This is the what the inside looks like. I kinda wish I could have found sticky notes that matched a little better, but this is what they had at Big Lots...lol. For the link to the tutorial on how to make these please head on over to my blog HERE. I also included all the details about what I used to make these. (Look for the post labeled Back to School Teacher Gifts.)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Can it be????? Is summer almost over????

I cannot believe that it is the end of August, where in the heck did the summer go?

Hi everyone, this is Laralee and I am so excited to be posting today. I have been making cards like crazy.........I had a goal of making 1 WELCOME card for each of my grandchildren, that are in school, for their teachers. I DID IT!!!!! These are just a couple of examples of what I have done.

I used the the teacher stamp, and also a saying stamp that I got out of the store. The other saying of GOD grant me the serenity is a stamp that I have had for years. On the scarecrow boy, he is also a stamp out of the store and his saying of "The time has come" is #18407.

We have such great stamps in the store, be sure to stop by and order a few for the winter months. DID I JUST SAY WINTER?????? Slap my mouth for swearing.

That is all I have for right now. Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see what one of the other DT members have whipped up.

Decisions-decisions!!!

Can't decide.  I love this adorable little stamp and had so much fun making cards with it I did 3 on my lunch half-hour.  Here they are.  I used white cardstock, printed paper mats, paint chip mats, flowers, punched strips, and alcohol markers and watercolors.  Any questions just ask.

Fall Friends

Hi everyone! It's Jerusha again! Fall is my favourite season, I love the cool weather and the smell in the air an the leaves changing colour. I can't wait for fall to come!  The nights have been getting cooler already and I have spotted a changing tree or two in our area.  I can't wait for pumpkins and apple picking and baking! I could go on all day...but I'll stop!
For this card, I used the stamp Autumn Friends and then coupled that with some new ribbon and flowers that I had in my stash to create an autumn feel.  This is the first fall card that I have made this year! So what do you think? Pretty cute, huh? You can find more cards like this in the QKR Stampede Store! There's something for everyone!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! Have a great day!
