forever friends

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Kazen's new sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You was calling my name. I rotated it and used my new fav stamp set Flutterby Friends to create a fun card.



Can you see what I used to create the middle piece? The NEW ticket die from Papertrey Ink! You gotta get one. I wanted something a little different and this was perfect.



The background for each circle is the library card stamp. This sketch obviously fit with my current circle obsession I am having. 

Enjoy your week and stay cool! ~ Rhonda

supplies used:(Papertrey Ink unless noted)
stamps: Flutterby Friends, Polka Dots II, library card,
paper: Vintage cream, Enchanted Evening, Pretty Pastels - text style
ink: Spring Moss, Enchanted Evening, Versamark
other: ticket die, circle punch, Terra Cotta twill ribbon, Copic marker B95, Sunshine impression plate

Take 3:Summer

Thursday, July 1, 2010

I'm outside my color box for today's card. Awhile back Nicole Heady posted Spring color schemes from each designer in this post. I decided to give Heather Nichol's scheme a try. A also used this great sketch from 2sketches4U. 

 
I love the results! It feels, light, airy, and oh so fun! Take 3:Summer is the perfect set for quick cards. Add the die cut flowers, and impression plates and you are done. 


Are your plans in place for the holiday weekend? We will be spending the day at the lake! ~ Rhonda

Celebrate Today!

Friday, January 29, 2010

I tried to use my 10 hour travel time in the car over the weekend productively. I took along my Stampers' Sampler Take Ten Winter 2010! As I went through the pages I made sketches, took notes, and thought of stamps sets I owned that I can use for the same look.

Roosters were featured a couple of times! I have a retired SU set "Roosting" that has not seen ink in a long time. 2 Sketches 4 You and Mercy's Tuesday Sketch had similar layouts perfect for what I had in mind.


I chose to stamp the Rooster on pattern paper giving it a more vintage feel versus coloring. Spellbinder's Fleur de lis border was the perfect addition for added interest. The pattern papers are from a Michael's paper pack.


A sentiment from PTI's mixed messages and twine keep the card simple but sweet!! Oh, the card base is PTI's vintage cream. I had been using a lighter weight cardstock for card bases. Not anymore. It does make a different in the quality of the finished product.


Keep Creating! ~Rhonda

Valentine Card & Taco Soup

Thursday, January 14, 2010




I was able to combine 2 challenges with this card. First, 2Sketches4U as the layout and then sewing on my card for JUGS.

I also used glitter for the first time. I had been avoiding it but I decided to use 1/4 scor tape and Martha Stewart glitter. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was! I also used 2 way glue around the frame.

One of the fun dates of January is that this month is National Hot Soup Month. So I'm sharing my Taco Soup recipe. This couldn't be any simpler. Perfect way to make sure your family has dinner and you have time to craft.

For my Project Life photo of the day, I decided to take a pix of the ingredients in the crock pot. Color inspiration--I don't think so!

Taco Soup for the Crock Pot

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 cans Ranch style pinto beans
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 large can hominy
1 can diced rotel tomatoes
1 med. onion
1 pkg. mild taco seasoning
1 pkg. ranch style salad dressing mix

Brown beef and onion. Add to crock pot. Stir in all other ingredients and cook on low for several hours.Great served with tortilla chips and cheese. Servings – 6

Thanks for visiting. I have received so many nice comments this week! They keep a smile on my face. ~ Rhonda

Babies are Heaven Sent!

Friday, October 16, 2009

I love being able to combine challenges. This time it happened by chance. I loved Kazen's sketch #37 at 2 Sketches 4 You, so I thought I would play along then I found the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #8 that wanted a baby card. 
My focal point is made with the Classic Scallopped Circle Lg #2 and #3. The border was done with my Just Rite Preserves Set using the 2 3/8" wood stamper.  I used PTI Bitty Baby stamp set to paper piece the rabbit and added a cute stripe for his ear and tail.
The paper is PTI Kraft, Enchanted Evening, and Aqua Mist. The stripe is from an unknown paperpack.I think the Enchanted Evening ink color looks fabulous on the Aqua Mist.

Thanks for looking! Keep playing! --Rhonda
