Consumed

Happy Sunday!  It's been a while since I've participated in a challenge with Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog.  For those of you curious, I think I'll share a bit.  For those of you who prefer the usual lack of personal details in my post, feel free to skip this part. 

In the past year and a half that I've been roaming blogland, I've come to realize that most of us have our trials and some of us like to know that we're not alone as we experience them.  Since May 2010 I've come to discover that I have a hereditary illness that most won't speak of, my five year old daughter has celiac disease, and my son, well, the amount of free community support we receive is indicative of something as of yet unnamed.  For the past three months our household focus has been my son as we continue to struggle to get structure, routine, and organization into a typically chaotic existence.  If you've seen HGTV's new show 'Consumed', then you can safely picture what fourteen years of living in one house with two individuals who prefer to repurpose something rather than toss it has done to my home.  It is actually quite funny as I'm learning to let go and donate items and my hubby is saying "but, but...we could...".  Cardmaking has been extremely therapeutic - although my craftroom could use de-cluttering and totally stresses me out as I purge the rest of the house!

This week's challenge at Paper Sundaes is a favorite one - 'Anything Goes'!  So I've decided to use my copic markers and try to colour on kraft cardstock.


I wanted to focus attention on the stitching so the rest of the card simply lacks embellishment.  I continued the stitching on the inside of the card.


Thank you for looking and all your support!  I look forward to seeing your 'Anything Goes' creation!

September Release Blog Hop

Happy Wednesday!  Today is the September Release Blog Hop for Paper Makeup Stamps!  If you have arrived here from the Paper Makeup Stamps' blog then you are on the right track!  Otherwise, hop back to the PMS blog so that you can enjoy all the gorgeous creations that the PMS DT has cooked up for you! 

I was inspired by the Color It Autumn set to create an 8 x 8 calendar page:


Copic Details
Pumpkins YR12/14/18  E70/71/74
Acorn E41/42/43/44  E70/71/74/77
Squash BG70/72/75

The autumn shapes are fabulous for scrapbook layouts and cards - coloured or simply as sketches!

My letter to share with you is U and your next stop is the talented and delightful Dawn!  Thank you for visiting!

You Color My World

Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you one of the new Paper Makeup Stamps' word art. I love this sentiment as it compliments my copic obsessive personality perfectly!


I have paired the sentiment with the bright and colorful new papers, Happy Days, by Echo Park. The layout is following the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge.

Thank you for looking!  Join us tomorrow for the September Release Blog Hop starting at the PMS Blog

Jamie Silhouette

Happy Sunday!  Today I have the pleasure of sharing a sneak peek of one of Paper Makeup Stamps new images, Jamie Silhouette.

Silhouettes are wonderful for making cards and scrapbook pages, especially when you want an image but don't necessarily have the time or desire to colour an image.  I have paired Jamie with Graphic 45's new collection, ABC Primer.



Thank you for looking!  Check out the PMS Blog for more Baby sneak peeks.  Yesterday's sneaks included a new line of stamps, The Color Kids by Diem Pascarella, which are absolutely adorable.  Sneak peeks will continue every day until the September release blog hop on September 7th.  Join us Wednesday night on the PMS forum for the release party!

Jamie Silhouette will be entered into the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday.
