Manly Monday Cell Phone reminder Band Practice card

Isn't this the cutest phone stamp? Perfect for teens.

The problem with the phone stamp is that it’s upside down on the card. The button should be at the bottom. I didn’t realize it until a month later from sending it to a young man for his birthday. I thought it was so cute and clever to include band practice. It took me a long time to stamp those words in the phone with tiny red rubber alphabet stamps for the sentiment to be personalized for him. Oh well.

The sentiment is made up of alphabets by Lawn Fawn, Oriental Trading Co, and Close to my Heart is by

The music note stickers are unknown

The patterned paper is by Jenni Bowlin. Omgoodness! That paper is old.

This could be a repeat card. I looked on my blog and it wasn't under searches of phone, music, band, or teen. I apologize if it is.

Thanks for looking

Sketches in Thyme Project Life

It's my turn at Sketches in Thyme Project Life challenge blog. Here is the sketch and what I did with it:

For my card I started with off white cardstock by Recollections and stamped a dotted square stamp by Fiskars with brown SU ink. I die cut the Die Cuts with a View patterned paper with a Spellbinders rectangle die. I used a Cloud 9 Designs quote stamp for the sentiment and added brown cardstock (Coredinations) corners to the edges. Those edges have been stamped with a Weathered Wall Deep Red Stamps background stamp with brown ink. I added a Jenny Bowlin banner to the card with the baby's name on it. 

 For the rest of the pocket page I used patterned paper by Crate Paper and Die Cuts with a View. I stamped labels on some of the cards with a small alphabet stamp and brown ink both by Stampin Up. I continued to add the brown Weathered Wall stamped image around some of the squares by way of the corners or I used a strip of it on two photos. In the bottom right corner besides the baby's name I stamped Holy Baptism (Mark's Finest Papers) and then the cross (Clear Dollar Stamps) with the same ink and on the same paper.

Thanks for looking.

Deep Red Stamps Merry and Bright

My Holly Stamp is by Deep Red Stamps and can be purchased at Scrapbook . com or A Cherry on Top.

I stamped the holly with green Versa Color pigment ink and heat embossed it in clear. I applied gold distress stain over the entire image and heat set it to dry. I wanted the image to have more sparkle so I sprayed it with water mixed with Perfect Pearls and heat set it again. 

There are 4 different patterned papers in this card. The red polka dot paper is unknown but the rest are as follows: green sparkle background paper is by My Mind's Eye, green matting paper by K and i memories and off white with small pattern at the bottom by K and Co. The Merry bingo card is by Jenni Bowlin and the & Bright stickers are by Making Memories.
