Also thank you for hanging in there with me whilst I was not sharing anything crafty with you all.<br /><br />So I managed to have just a small play today and well to start me out with not much effort, I decided to break out my <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-41720/simon-says-stamp-hearts/Detail">Simon Says February Card Kit</a>, when this arrived the other day, I was totally drooling, I mean this little baby sold out in 48hrs, can you believe that??? I hope that you all were able to get your hands on this kit...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront"><img border="0" height="346" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mXrxSo87vcg/TyZ6XMgOYKI/AAAAAAAABvY/wgTGm43YKDY/s400/feb12final.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Be sure to pop on over to Simon Says and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D41721%2FCard%2DKit%2Dof%2Dthe%2FDetail">subscribe</a> to the monthly kits this way you will be assured a kit...<br /><br />The Simon Says team posted a tweet a couple of days ago with a little sneak of the new March kit and well I am giddy with excitement for this one to arrive...below is the little sneak of that kit....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D41721%2FCard%2DKit%2Dof%2Dthe%2FDetail"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-svP038OFSgk/TyZ6j3RcHmI/AAAAAAAABvk/mWGh67NZrMY/s400/AkTHECKCMAAtbDa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />What I love about the kits, is it is all there for you to create cards, it also shows ideas on how you can use the kit, <a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/">Kristina Werner</a> makes up card ideas and shares them in the kits...so over the next few days I will be sharing more ideas on how you can use your February kit....<br /><br />I took different elements of design from Kristina and did my own look...here is the first of the cards and my favourite so far...<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6788649653/" title="100_7311 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_7311" height="521" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7001/6788649653_a023a10696_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></center><br /><br />I took the ledger style pattern paper that was in the kit and trimmed it down slightly smaller then a card front, corner rounded the corners and adhered to a trimmed white card, that also had the corners rounded. I then took one of the vellum envelopes cutting off the flap section of the envelope and then trimming white card stock to fit inside the envelope, punching a border top using the Binding Edge punch, slipping this into the envelope, this also adds an extra spot for a message, I adhered the envelope to the front of the card with foam dimensionals. Moving onto the rest of the card, I took some circle punches, punching out more of the pattern paper from the kit, distressing the edges and adding a dusting of brushed corduroy, adhering all three together with a brad, adding to the centre of the circles a rose from the kit, adhering this along with a ticket that had tiny type letters added all to the front of the card with foam dimensionals. To complete the card, there was the cutest little heart punch within the kit, so I punched three hearts from another piece of pattern paper, adhering this down the left hand side of the card with foam dimensionals.<br /><br />I just loved that everything was at hand, I did not have to think about it, apart from how I wanted to use the products...<br /><br />So if I was going to do some enabling, it would be to hop on over to the Simon Says store and purchase a <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D41721%2FCard%2DKit%2Dof%2Dthe%2FDetail">subscription</a>, there is also a section there that should <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-41787/Card-Kit-of-the/Detail">answer any questions</a> that you have about the kit...<br /><br />I hope that this card tonight gives you some inspiration to create something from the card kit or for that matter something similar with the products you have on hand.<br /><br />Tomorrow is knuckle down into some DT projects and heading back to work...wish me luck!<br /><br />Oh and the other products I used to create this card are listed below...<br /><br />Have a wonderful night!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sorry I have not been around for the last couple of days, but with this back I have not been able to create anything as sitting at the desk just hurts too much, my posting over the next few days will be a bit sporadic so please bear with me whilst I recover.<br /><br />I do have a little something to tie you over whilst I will be away from the crafting table, so you are going to want to come back tomorrow to check out what that will be....<br /><br />As for today, my next photo for <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly's Photo Challenge</a> is here, thankfully I took these photos on Monday prior to injuring myself.<br /><br />This weeks challenge was a fun one, as it was to be a photo capturing a pocket of light, I found that our french doors at the rear of our house allowed me to capture just that...<br /><br />I took two photos this week, one was what I call my cutie...that being Roly boy, looking out the window waiting for his Dad to get home from work....it has been quite hot here lately so we tend to stay under the air conditioner trying to stay cool. Usually, late into the afternoon, Roly sits and waits for Darryl to arrive home, as he knows that is his dinner time.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6769295695/" title="100_7282 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6769295695_a643543979_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_7282"></a></center><br /><br />The other was what I call the UGH! pile, yes my nightmare...the ironing..the ever growing pile that has been sitting in a basket ready to be ironed...I don't know about you, this chore of the household chores is my pet hate...I will do anything else bar it, and hence it seems to grow and grow....<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6769295033/" title="100_7264 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7003/6769295033_c6f63a6cbd_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_7264"></a></center><br /><br />Having fun playing along with <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly's challenges</a> and I am so looking forward to waking up in the morning to see what next weeks will be...<br /><br />Now, before I leave you all, I just want to send out the hugest thanks to all my readers and twitter friends that have sent me lots of love, support and get well wishes, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and I do promise that I will be back to blogging again normally soon.<br /><br />Don't forget there will be a huge thing happening here on the blog tomorrow, so be sure to pop on by, you won't want to miss....<br /><br />Have a wonderful rest of the day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ytn1bs57EpE/TyI0pYPktzI/AAAAAAAABt8/kXPuYuhPpRk/s1600/468BB8A23231650CA2F7DC58780EE043.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="115" width="121" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ytn1bs57EpE/TyI0pYPktzI/AAAAAAAABt8/kXPuYuhPpRk/s400/468BB8A23231650CA2F7DC58780EE043.png" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/771338447023531568-8197154628334385594?l=jtcardmaking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03015463757685098693noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771338447023531568.post-40428889189995283872012-01-25T19:54:00.000+11:002012-01-25T19:54:00.280+11:00Vintage Balloon!Hello Friends...well once again I am here to bring you a new Challenge for <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/">Simon Says</a>...this week will be a fun week for you all as it an Anything Goes challenge, which means you can create what you like and enter for a chance to win.<br /><br />This week the DT gals are using Echo Park..to see what the gals have created and more details of the challenge just click the blinkie below...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab270/starofmay/SSS_challengeblog.gif" /></a></center><br /><br />Here is the card that I created this week...and if you are like me from time to time we all struggle making that perfect male card, so I thought I would share one here that is pretty straight forward to create.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6759264225/" title="100_7251 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_7251" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6759264225_2543e97f72_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />Using the Echo Park, For the Record paper pack, I took some pattern paper from that collection, for the main section I trimmed it to be slightly smaller then a card front, corner rounded the top and bottom right hand corners. Next, taking more pattern paper from that collection, I trimmed one smaller strip and the other I punched a postage strip using the Fiskars, Postage Border punch, adding both of these strips to the main pattern paper. To finish this section of the card, I added a border sticker from the same collection, along with some twine. I then took one of the element stickers, which was the balloon and added it to the pattern paper using foam dimensionals. Completing the card, by adding a sentiment stamped on a banner, some rhinestones and then added this to a trimmed Smokey Shadow card, that had the corresponding corners rounded.<br /><br />So by using elements from the paper pack and stamping a sentiment you can create a fairly quick card and a simple one, well let's face it, not many guys like too much on their cards.<br /><br />I cannot wait to see all your creations this week...make sure to enter to win...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

How are you all today? I hope that your week is off to a great start and that you have managed to sneak in some crafty time...<br /><br />The other night after work, I had a little play in my craft room, a couple of things had been sitting on my table that just would not work on another card, so I put them to good use on another and this is what I created.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6752468009/" title="100_7259 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6752468009_39fb4d95d6_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_7259"></a></center><br /><br />I took white card stock, trimmed to create a tag, stamped a couple of the stamps from the Button Boutique stamp set from PTI and then taking one of the Silhouette Girls from Hero Arts, I inked her up with some Versamark Ink, stamping in the centre of the tag and embossed using some Zing, Opaque Pink, I finished the tag by adding some string to the top and set it aside to work on the rest of the card. I took pattern paper from the My Minds Eye, Madison Avenue, trimming the first piece slightly smaller then the card front, the next, I took another piece and trimmed a small strip, adhering this to the other pattern paper, adding on top of those pattern paper, I trimmed a smaller strip of soft pink card stock. I adhered these to a trimmed white card, adding the tag and completing the card by adding a sentiment strip, along with a scattering of pearls.<br /><br />Okay, I am off to rest before heading off to work, my back is playing up and unfortunately, my masseur is sick, so will have to manage...<br /><br />I hope that you all have a truly wonderful day and I look forward to being back here tomorrow with another creation for you to view..<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

LOL.<br /><br />Today, I am here to share another creation for <a href="http://jgsnook.com.au/index.php?p=home">Jay Gee's Nook</a>....this time I created a card using my Copics once again and a sweet image from the <a href="http://jgsnook.com.au/catalog/Gorjuss-73-1.html">Gorjuss</a> collection.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6739241143/" title="100_7242 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7165/6739241143_df8967a3fe_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_7242"></a></center><br /><br />I took the Puddles of Love stamp, inked with Memento Black ink and stamped onto card stock, coloured her in and trimmed the image out. I then created my own background pattern, by inking up the Dot Flower Pattern from Hero Arts, spritzing the inked stamp with some pearlised water and then laying the trimmed white card stock over the stamp, heat setting with the heat tool, (unfortunately, the photo does not show the beautiful shine). I backed the pattern card stock onto more white card stock, to give it a matt look. I added a sentiment and some rhinestones and completed the card by adding the card stock to a trimmed pink card.<br /><br />Here is a close up of the coloured image...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6739242419/" title="100_7243 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6739242419_265b4268d7_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_7243"></a></center><br /><br />I hope that you have all had some time to check out the first <a href="http://jgsnook.blogspot.com/2012/01/jay-gees-nook-challenge-15.html">challenge</a> of the year...and whilst you are over at the <a href="http://jgsnook.blogspot.com/">blog</a> why not check out what the DT gals have created for eye candy today...<br /><br />Okay, lots to do before heading to work and one that seems to be beeping at me, that being the washing machine, so that is my cue to go hang out the washing, nice windy day today so I am sure that the clothes line is going to be nice and full..<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Marking where both pieces of the embossed card stock would sit on my card, I then took the Friends stamp from the Big Ticket stamp set, inked it up with Colorbox, Peony ink, stamping to one side of the card front. I then adhered the embossed pieces of card stock with foam dimensionals. Next, running through the PTI butterfly die and the Spellbinders butterfly (this Spellbinder die is rare to find) die through my Cuttlebug cutting out some Autumn Rose Felt. Adhering these butterflies together and adding to the other side of the sentiment, finishing the card by adding some pearls.<br /><br />This card also shares one of the products that I currently sell in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/LessisMoreShoppe">Etsy Shoppe</a>...which are the butterflies...this shows how simply yet effective they can be used....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I then took the Woodgrain background stamp, inked it with Brown Sugar, stamped onto more white card stock, trimming a circle out using Spellbinder Circle dies, adhering this to the chevron background using foam dimensionals. Staying with white card stock, I trimmed a small piece, punching the top with the Binding Edge Border Punch, adding it to the circle with more foam dimensionals. I took pattern paper from the My Minds Eye, Love Me paper pad, ran it through my Cuttlebug, cutting a heart out of the Hearts a Plenty die, adhering this to the white card stock on the circle. To complete the card, I added twine to the bottom, a sentiment, scattering of rhinestones and added this to a trimmed white card.<br /><br />I hope you find some inspiration in the card that I created and that it helps you to create one to enter into this weeks challenge, would love to see you enter...<br /><br />As always the lovely Heidi and the Simon Says crew, will give one lucky person to spend $50 in store...so get inky and start entering...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

On the smaller tag, I stamped one of the decorative lamps from Hero Arts, with silver embossing powder, adding string to the top of both tags, adhering the smaller one to the larger tag. Finishing the card off by adding a sentiment, adhering the tag to a trimmed white card that had corners rounded and lastly, rhinestones.<br /><br />Here is a closer view of the tags..<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6698384899/" title="100_7104 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_7104" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7155/6698384899_9d4eed6ab3_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />I am not sure that I created the card how I wanted but well at least it was fun trying...<br /><br />If you have time, I have a video in the post below for you all to view if you have not already viewed it...<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It has been such a learning experience and one that has made me look at myself differently and in a good light...so I thank you all.<br /><br />Tonight, I figured you probably are ready for a creation...so hence I am back here to share a creation for <a href="http://www.janesdoodles.com/">Jane's Doodles</a>...have you been to check out the <a href="http://www.janesdoodles.com/">store</a> lately?? Jane has added some wonderful digital images for you all to create with, she has also has some freebies on the <a href="http://janesdoodles.blogspot.com/">blog</a> to dabble with too...be sure to pop on over and have a little looksie...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6689269639/" title="100_6886 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7164/6689269639_4d63a23e0c_z.jpg" width="640" height="479" alt="100_6886"></a></center><br /><br />So my card for today was pretty straight forward...by stamping the Peony onto vellum twice and embossing with silver embossing powder, trimming both out, one full flower and the other the smaller centre piece, adhering together with a foam dimensional, adding a wooden button with some ribbon. Working on the rest of the card, by trimming white card stock to form the card, then trimming some pattern paper from Lily Bee, Memorandum paper pad, slightly smaller then the card front, the other piece was trimmed from the My Minds Eye, Rosy paper pad, this piece being trimmed into a strip and a V cut into the end, adhering this to the other pattern paper. I added a stamped sentiment to the top of the pattern paper, along with some pearls, adhering the pattern paper to the front of the card and completing the card by adding the vellum peony onto the strip of pattern paper.<br /><br />My tip here if there is one that I can give is by cutting smaller strips from your scrap pattern paper, adding a V or not to the end and adding to your creation, you are able to use up those unwanted pieces that seem to collect in our crafting spaces.<br /><br />Alrighty, time for me to almost head for bed, need an earlier night then I have been having as I have lots to do tomorrow.<br /><br />Super big hugs to you all!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/"><img border="0" height="118" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QhgYtYGg5a4/Tw5fCB2G9pI/AAAAAAAABpM/ceuk5geApdM/s400/6a01156f1d7ac6970c01675ff97089970b-320wi.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />So <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly</a>, has posted two challenges on her blog, which you can view <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/2011/12/new-yearnew-plans.html">HERE</a>....I have decided to tackle the first challenge which sounds fabulous, that being a photo a week, she has urged us to all play along...I figured I could handle photographing one photo a week as oppose to a photo a day. What I find the greatest thing about this challenge, is that not only do I challenge myself to photograph, but also I don't need to have a fancy camera to participate.<br /><br />This for me is a great way to document each week of the year, there is no pressure..which is what I like also. So from now on you will find that one day of the week, I will be sharing the current challenge of that week here on my blog.<br /><br />So this week, <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/">Carly</a>, challenged us to take the most hardest photo of all, <b>Ourselves</b>, as like most people I am always behind the camera, I totally dislike photos of myself and really find it uncomfortable to be in front of the lens...but I challenged myself and after about 1000 photos taken..LOL I managed to get a few that I liked...this one below is the one that I am entering into this weeks challenge...<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6682505627/" title="100_6946 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6946" height="608" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7016/6682505627_d6d15f3294_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></center><br /><br />Here is a collage of the other photos that I did not mind at all..I say this with a slight grimace..LOL...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XeJ4oEpSREI/Tw5eoqyeuJI/AAAAAAAABpA/YzQVkZxj-S8/s1600/Photos%2Bof%2BJoy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XeJ4oEpSREI/Tw5eoqyeuJI/AAAAAAAABpA/YzQVkZxj-S8/s640/Photos%2Bof%2BJoy.jpg" width="571" /></a></div><br />Be sure to check out <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/">Carly's blog</a> and the details of the <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/thesimplethings/2011/12/new-yearnew-plans.html">Two Challenges</a>...this is going to be fun and something that I think will grow me as a better person and hopefully a better point and shoot photographer..LOL...<br /><br />Okay, time for me to head off and catch up on commenting and a few jobs around here...<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AnKW8RvubU0/Tw5dUa7jaII/AAAAAAAABo0/AILrFoVH-3g/s1600/468BB8A23231650CA2F7DC58780EE043.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="115" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AnKW8RvubU0/Tw5dUa7jaII/AAAAAAAABo0/AILrFoVH-3g/s400/468BB8A23231650CA2F7DC58780EE043.png" width="121" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/771338447023531568-2481608331477398044?l=jtcardmaking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03015463757685098693noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771338447023531568.post-18848366652393319452012-01-11T20:56:00.000+11:002012-01-11T20:56:56.496+11:00Memory Box Butterfly!Hello everyone! so today is another new challenge for <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/">Simon Says</a>..this week we are sharing creations made with Memory Box products...last week I shared a card using the butterfly die below....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D39052%2FMemory%2DBox%2DCOCOA%2DBEAN%2FDetail"><img border="0" height="146" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x5jOX0kFb0g/Tw1anfJKPQI/AAAAAAAABoc/jRzONQRb238/s400/98148.jpg" width="186" /></a></div><br />I said that I would be back this week to share another card using this die and well..this card is very simple and cleaned line card, one that is super easy to create when pushed for time.<br /><br />To see all the DT creations and the challenge details, just click on the flashing blinkie below...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab270/starofmay/SSS_challengeblog.gif" /></a></center><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6677946093/" title="100_6887 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7163/6677946093_c795bf26b2_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_6887"></a></center><br /><br />So my straight forward card was firstly created by running the die through my Cuttlebug, cutting a die cut from Studio Calico pattern paper, adding a dusting of Vintage Photo to the edges of the butterfly for dimension, setting aside to work on the rest of the card. Trimming white card stock to form the card base and a smaller piece to be placed on the front of the card, stamping the Cling Dots background stamp and embossing with white embossing powder. Using the Cuttlebug once again, I took a Spellbinders Circle die and cut a section out of the embossed card stock. Adhering this card stock to the front of the card with foam dimensionals and placing the butterfly in the centre of the circle with Glossy Accents. Completing the card by stamping a sentiment onto trimmed white card stock, adhering this to the embossed card stock and finally, adding blue pearls.<br /><br />Alrighty, for me it is time to head back over to last weeks challenge and catch up on some commenting, this week has been a nightmare in life and I have had no time to do what I normally manage to do...here's hoping next week is better, staying positive on that one.<br /><br />I hope that you will find some time to create for this weeks challenge, would love to see all your entries....not to mention I would love to see the winner of this below....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I hope you had a fabulous day...already my week seems incredibly long, but after tomorrow night at work, I will be finally on 2 days off work...so looking forward to just kicking back and relaxing.<br /><br />Thankfully tonight I have a card in reserve to share with you all, one that I made the other week when there seem to be no mojo...this was one of the cards that I created when finally the creativity got flowing again.<br /><br />I used a stamp that has sat in my craft room for sometime, yet another one of those stamps that I have plenty off..LOL.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6666139333/" title="100_6891 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6666139333_a0a4f8fdc6_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_6891"></a></center><br /><br />I had fun with techniques on this card, by inking up the stamp with Broken China, Peeled Paint and Vintage photo, spritzing it with pearlised water and stamping onto water colour paper, heat setting. Matting the water coloured paper onto white card stock and adding it to a trimmed Eggshell note card, that was stamped with Friend Definition in Soft Sand ink. I added twine and a sentiment to the base of the card to complete.<br /><br />I love getting inky sometimes, so good for the soul....<br /><br />Alrighty, pretty quick post for you tonight...needing to kick back now and watch some TV then head for bed for some much needed catch up on sleep.<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful night!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Once the mists were dry, I took the Fabulous Flourish stamp and inked with London Fog ink, I stamped onto the tag. Staying with the heat gun, I took the Newspaper Eiffel Tower stamp, stamping with Versamark Ink onto white card stock and embossing with white embossing powder, trimming just the Eiffel Tower out and adhered to the tag with foam dimensionals. I added a strip of tissue tape to one side of the tag and on top of the tape I added a sentiment. I then took the die Hearts a Plenty and some Autumn Rose card stock, cutting out the smaller of the hearts, spritzing with Calico White and heat setting, adding this to the tag also with foam dimensionals. Finishing the tag, by adding some Stone twine to the top.<br /><br />I have to say that more of these mists are so on my wish list and hopefully will be purchasing more, super effective and give a great look.<br /><br />I do hope that you have all had time to check out the DT creations, if not you can go <a href="http://jgsnook.blogspot.com/">HERE</a> to see them all...real eye candy.<br /><br />Okay, I have a little bit more tweaking of my blog to do and I do thank you for being patient.<br /><br />Have a wonderful night!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So for most of you I am sure you are cheering today being that it is Friday..feel for me, as I am now working for the next 5 days straight...hoping it goes quickly so that I can enjoy playing more in the craft room.<br /><br />I have been enjoying heaps of time in there lately and have created heaps, in which I cannot wait to share with you all...one of those creations was this one below, I had fun playing with these dimensional stickers from Amy Tangerine...just love that girls product line.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D36749%2F42214%2DHI%2DFRIEND%2D14%2FDetail"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i8OSggQW29k/TwbH1OtSLOI/AAAAAAAABms/7vblaa-WCp0/s400/42214hifriend3dat.jpg" width="131" /></a></div><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6645749539/" title="100_6881 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6881" height="479" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7151/6645749539_7e86c6862b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></center><br /><br />Pretty straight forward card, I trimmed white card stock and added strips of tissue tape and washi tape (my new love) vertically and horizontally, overlapping slightly. I then stamped a sentiment from Ali Edwards, Loving Words stamp set (another new love, Ali's stamp line). I added the typewriter dimensional sticker over the tissue tape and washi tape, corner rounded the corners and added this to a trimmed grey card, that also had the corners rounded.<br /><br />Super excited with how this turned out, this was the card that finally got the juices flowing again and I could not wait to create more....<br /><br />I mentioned above that one of my new loves is Ali Edwards stamp line and I have to say that even though some of these are her older stamps I am itching for the ones below to arrive so that I can play....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Stamping a sentiment off to the side, corner rounding the corners and finally adding a dusting of Frost White ink to the edges to soften. Completing the card by trimming white card stock to form the card, running the front of the card through the Cuttlebug, embossing it with Papertrey Ink, Cane Print Impression Plate, adhering the Kraft card stock to the front with foam dimensionals.<br /><br />Now before I go, in the photo did you spot something new???? Darryl made me a board for me to place my cards on to photograph...trying this out, seeing if my cards stay a bit more straight not to mention because the photo tent is so big it has to sit on the floor, I lean on the front of it from time to time and it is now starting to get the lean to look...so I am hoping this helps and not to mention looks good....gotta love my man that whipped that up in 30 mins...<br /><br />Okay, well I am off to get washing in off the line and hang another lot out, clean up the craft room and play once again.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well I have been in the craft room all afternoon creating...some exciting news to come soon...<br /><br />So as it is the start of January 2012, the DT gals for <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/">Simon Says Challenge</a> decided to create a challenge based around New Something...we all used Cuttlebug Folders on our projects...<br /><br />To view the details of the Challenge and the fabulous DT projects, just click on the blinkie below...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab270/starofmay/SSS_challengeblog.gif" /></a></center><br /><br />I created a card using something that was new in my craft room, that being this fabulous Memory Box Die called Cocoa Bean Butterfly...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D39052%2FMemory%2DBox%2DCOCOA%2DBEAN%2FDetail"><img border="0" height="146" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i7molvWZrN8/TwQcOnEMroI/AAAAAAAABl8/69EPr5ujHiU/s400/98148.jpg" width="186" /></a></div><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6633714483/" title="100_6873 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6873" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7001/6633714483_63215304ee_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />I started out by running the die through my Cuttlebug, cutting out two butterflies, one with pattern paper and the other with vellum, adhering both together. Next, I took white card stock, trimmed to size, running it also through the Cuttlebug, embossing it with Swiss Dots folder, corner rounding the corners. I added strips of pattern paper that were cut on the diagonal at the base and adhered together then adhered to a trimmed piece of Eggshell Layering paper, that was also backed with more pattern paper, I then adhered this to the embossed card stock. I stamped La Letrre stamp over a punched circle of white card stock, using London Fog ink. Adhering the circle with foam dimensionals to the top part of the card stock, adding the butterfly to the centre of the circle, adhering with more Glossy Accents. I added a sentiment at the base, along with pearls either side of the sentiment as well as the centre of the butterfly. Finally adhering this to a trimmed white card that also had corners rounded.<br /><br />I loved working with this die and I could very well be back next week with another project using it again.<br /><br />I hope that you will all have a chance to participate in this great challenge this week, don't forget that one lucky person gets to spend $50 in the store...the more times you enter the better.<br /><br /><br /><center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I remembered my dear friend <a href="http://carlyrobertson.typepad.com/">Carly</a>, who said to me once that she used elements from <a href="http://paisleepress.com/">Paislee Press</a> to design her headers, so late last night I ventured over and brought a couple of digital kits, using some of the elements I created my own. Check out <a href="http://paisleepress.com/shop/">Paislee Press</a> they make some wonderful kits, not to mention that <a href="http://www.purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/">Purple Onion Designs</a> has some of their stamps that I adore...which you can see <a href="http://www.purpleoniondesigns.com/LizTamanahaStamps.html">HERE</a>.<br /><br />So as you can tell I have done a lot of computer work over the last few days, seeing as it has been incredibly hot, but I have also created too..the creation today however, was totally inspired by this photo below....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4MmRhUQ8k4/TwJCMjkoi1I/AAAAAAAABlA/BWw52tKOA8Y/s1600/262475484502269449_HuSJcxK1_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="379" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4MmRhUQ8k4/TwJCMjkoi1I/AAAAAAAABlA/BWw52tKOA8Y/s400/262475484502269449_HuSJcxK1_c.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Photo Credit)</span></i></a></div><br />Surfing around on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> I came across this gorgeous set of cards and I knew I just wanted to be able to create something similar with some of the stamps in my craft room and this is what I came up with.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6623585713/" title="100_6871 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6871" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6623585713_862797e4f9_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />Using lots of white card stock on this project, I trimmed the main part to size and stamped the Old Letter, inked with Soft Brown ink onto the card stock. Next, I took one of the Bicycles from the Bicycle stamp set, inked it with black ink and stamped to one side of the card stock. Adding a postage stamp from the Carte Postale stamp set, stamping once onto the card stock with London Fog and then stamping again onto scratch piece of card stock with Soft Pool ink, trimming the inner part of the stamp and adhering with foam dimensionals over the one stamped on the card stock. Taking the airmail postage stamp from the Carte Postale stamp set, I inked it with black ink, stamping of once onto scratch piece of card stock, to lighten the colour of the ink and then re stamped over the other postage stamp on the card stock. Adding a dusting of Vintage Photo and Brushed Corduroy to the outer edges of the card stock and adhering with more foam dimensionals to a trimmed white card. Finishing the card by adding a sentiment on a trimmed white banner and rhinestones to complete.<br /><br />Super fun card, by adding layers of stamping.....<br /><br />So as you know if you have been following me over the last few days, you would have read that I felt my mojo was missing, which it had, so I always find that <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> is a fabulous source of inspiration to hopefully find the mojo again...here is just a few things that I have pinned over the last few days....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Next, I stamped the La Lettre stamp over the tag that was inked with London Fog ink. Taking the typewriter from the Type stamp set, inking it with Cough Syrup ink and stamping onto white card stock, trimming the typewriter out and adhering to the tag. Adding tissue tape to one side of the tag, along with stamping a sentiment onto more white card stock, adding this, hole reinforcer and twine to complete the tag. Working on the rest of the card, I trimmed Kraft card stock, stamped the Large Canvas Stripes that was inked with Frost White ink, added more tissue tape down one side of the card stock and finally adding the tag and adhering to a trimmed white card.<br /><br />I really love the look of adding layers to a card to give the eye something visually to look at.<br /><br />Enjoy viewing the card today, I am off to get myself some lunch and maybe do a little more crafting.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I hope that you all enjoyed bringing in the New Year or about to....<br /><br />Today, I am back to share a card designed for <a href="jgsnook.com.au/">Jay Gee's Nook</a>...after having a couple of weeks off from creating us girls are all back on deck to bring you a selection of eye candy...I have to say that I really struggled for about 3hrs yesterday trying to create...and I know a lot of you cannot see that, but I am telling you the truth...LOL..<br /><br />But I think that the mojo has returned, after leaving the craft room in utter disgust after creating this card that I am about to share with you all, I finally ventured in again and started to just colour an image, before I knew it, I had created a card...so I didn't stop there I went on to create another 4 cards...so lets hope with fingers crossed that it has returned..LOL..<br /><br />Okay, how about the card now...I know that a lot of us struggle with masculine cards, so I opted to create a fairly basic male card...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6609916491/" title="100_6851 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6609916491_935463e9e0_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_6851"></a></center><br /><br />Stamping the Houndstooth background stamp onto Kraft card stock that was inked with black ink, trimmed down to size. I then took the clock from the Special Time stamp set, inked with Versamark and stamping onto some pattern paper, embossing with white embossing powder, trimming out and adhering to the Hondstooth background with foam dimensionals. Adding twine to the clock, along with a sentiment from the same stamp set. Finishing the card by adding some rhinestones and adhering to a trimmed yellow card.<br /><br />Well there you have it, a very basic male card...I do hope that you find just a little bit of inspiration in this card to create something along these lines.<br /><br />I am off to check out what the other <a href="http://jgsnook.blogspot.com/">DT gals</a> have created....<br /><br />Have a wonderful New Years Day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Trimming two smaller strips of the foliage paper, adhering together and then adhering to the main card stock. Trimming down some white card stock to form a tag, I stamped the Houndstooth stamp that was inked with Grass ink, adding Peapod twine to the top of the tag. Stamping the frog onto more white card stock and colouring him in (that was when I think I must have been drunk..LOL) trimming around him and adding him to the tag along with a stamped sentiment, adhering all this to the green card stock. Completing the card by adding the main section to a trimmed white card.<br /><br />Be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.janesdoodles.com/">Jane's Doodles Shop</a>, there has been some more stamps added to the store..super cute I might add....<br /><br />Before I leave you all, I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, thank you to everyone that has passed on by and left amazing and sweet comments this past year...it has been an amazing year and I look forward to an even better 2012.<br /><br />Hugs to you all!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Hope you all have had a wonderful day...I return tomorrow again to work and I am hoping that it will pass by quickly so that I can enjoy the weekend.<br /><br />Any plans for New Years? I am quite sure that Darryl and I will sleep right through it...LOL..maybe I will enjoy a couple of drinks prior to heading to bed...<br /><br />Still lacking mojo, tonight I decided to create a card that literally took me only minutes to make, by using pattern paper to take up most of the space on the card, adding a little stamping, some sewing and rhinestones, here is the card that I created....Using some gorgeous Paper Smooches stamps that have sat in my room for sometime now...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6593253219/" title="100_6850 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7018/6593253219_2aa07c8b54_z.jpg" width="503" height="640" alt="100_6850"></a></center><br /><br />My tip for when you have lost your mojo, don't push it, it does return as we all know and even the best of us loose it from time to time....by adding very little elements to your cards, you can create something that still looks great...maybe even just get those stamps that have not seen ink and start inking them onto card stock, before you know it, you are in the midst of creating that card.<br /><br />Alrighty, I am off to watch some Telly and listen to Roly snore beside me....<br /><br />Have a wonderful night!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I hope that you have enjoyed your Christmas festivities and break from work...it was a long time getting here, but both Darryl and I have enjoyed Christmas and having some time together which has been lovely. I am now currently on a two day break from work and with one day of work left I then have the weekend off, I feel that this will be a lovely little holiday.<br /><br />So as the little Elves in my craft room left an awful mess and left on their merry way for Christmas celebrations, I had to venture into the tornado and clean up...LOL once done it was time to create a card for <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront">Simon Says</a>....and it was super nice not creating a Christmas creation today.<br /><br />I finally got some time to ink up the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D36126%2Ftechnique%2Dtuesday%2Dtues%2Dali%2FDetail">Technique Tuesday, Mon Ami Paris</a> stamp set and here is what I created...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6586276401/" title="100_6843 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6843" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7167/6586276401_f4b158bde0_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />I was finding that some mojo had gone on a little vacation and so was struggling to create, so I went with simplicity...Stamping one of my all time favourite stamp sets Papillon, I stamped the Parisian background script onto some trimmed Kraft card stock with Frost White ink, sewing around the edge and dusting the edges with more of the same ink. Stamping the Eiffel Tower in black ink onto white card stock, trimming around the image and adhering to the Kraft card stock with foam dimensionals. Adding a sentiment that was stamped with Cough Syrup ink and completing the card by adhering to a trimmed white card and adding some red rhinestones.<br /><br />I figured you could either give this to your loved one for Valentines day or even to a friend...<br /><br />Make sure to jump over to the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/">Challenge Blog</a> to check out the other DT creations and the details of this weeks challenge....<br /><br />I love that Heidi and the team give away $50 each week so that the lucky winner gets to go shopping in the Store...be sure to enter as many times as you can for a chance to win...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564159035590780802" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HHQcn0Lw7Pw/TTfdKaYrJ4I/AAAAAAAAHmw/o9WC8BmkXtc/s400/Simon%2BSays%2BStamp%2B%252450%2BCredit%2BVoucher.jpg" style="display: block;

Hope you are all having a great day...I have managed to nearly wrap all the presents, just a few more to go and a little tidy of the house and I can then finally sit back and relax. I am back to work tomorrow which I am so not looking forward to...LOL.<br /><br />Over the next couple of days prior to Christmas I thought that I would share some projects that I created for the Holiday Season for <a href="http://www.purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/">Purple Onion Designs</a>...these posts could be picture heavy..LOL<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6552960527/" title="100_6685 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6552960527_a1201fea56_z.jpg" width="640" height="479" alt="100_6685"></a></center><br /><br />So first up is a creation I have wanted to try since seeing <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2010/03/introducing-fillable-frames-2-the-mini-scrapbook-series-tabs.html">THIS</a> tutorial from <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/">Nichole Heady</a>...I always keep my Christmas cards from year to year and find it a great source to go to the following to see who I need to send a card or even just to look at for memories sake. So this is a handy little caddy to store your cards from year to year.<br /><br />This is a great way to recycle packaging too....<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6552958321/" title="100_6460 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6552958321_27111ac978_z.jpg" width="640" height="479" alt="100_6460"></a></center><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6552957811/" title="100_6470 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6552957811_70ed78c242_z.jpg" width="640" height="479" alt="100_6470"></a></center><br /><br />Next, up is a banner that I created, cutting out the banners with my Silhouette, running them through the Cuttlebug, embossing each of them with the Jamara embossing folder, adding rosettes to the centre along with stamping...stringing together with twine to hang along my buffet in my blue dinning room...unfortunately, one of the new things to invest this year is a new camera...I realised this after taking the photo of the banner along the buffet...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6552959025/" title="100_6688 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7011/6552959025_b06f428f16_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="100_6688"></a></center><br /><br />Staying with the Silhouette Machine, the next project that I created was a treat box...stamping on the outside of the bag with the Early 1900's Music Background stamp that was inked with Jenni Bowlin ink, Cough Syrup, adding some twine to seal the top of the package and adding a stamped logo to complete....<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6552961281/" title="Joy Taylor - Gift Tags.2 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6552961281_8c665ac542_z.jpg" width="479" height="640" alt="Joy Taylor - Gift Tags.2"></a></center><br /><br />The final project that I wish to share is some gift tags, these are super easy, quick and a great way of using up scrap card stock that you have lying around...just by stamping this stamp in different colours and backing them onto a punched scallop circle, using Spellbinder dies.<br /><br />All of the supplies that I used to create these projects will be at the links provided below...<br /><br />For now I think that shall be enough for you to feast your eyes on...I still wish for you to breathe...LOL I will be back tomorrow with several more projects...<br /><br />I hope that some of these projects give you some inspiration to maybe punch out those last minute projects that you may wish to hang around the house or for giving as gifts...<br /><br />Have a wonderful night everyone, as always you can ask me questions about the projects if you need...<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well Christmas is almost upon us...I am actually looking forward to the madness being over, but happy for a couple of days off work to. Still working on the last minute projects in the craft room for gifts, but all in all, I think I have finally reigned in the bulk of it....this is a good feeling.<br /><br />Moving away from the Christmas feel around here on the blog today and changing it up a little for the next challenge with <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront">Simon Says</a>....how about some Love...Valentines day is around the corner and even though I don't gush over this day I thought it might be nice to share a creation for you all to gain some inspiration.<br /><br />I used some new goodies that arrived from <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront">Simon Says</a> and one of those is the mad addiction that I have...yes more Minds Eye Pattern Paper....super beautiful papers in this paper pad and I just could not resist to create a card using some of those today....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D40403%2FLM0112%2DLOVE%2DME%2DPINK%2FDetail"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--HF84JmHbHY/TvGTVm9G8PI/AAAAAAAABhM/aG7YL2wKoj4/s200/LM0112.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><br />The Challenge this week is all about creating a card using the Bingo grid below...just click on the Bingo graphic to check out what the DT gals have created and the details of the Challenge.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uv0ctOg1h1o/TvGUBYsEV9I/AAAAAAAABhU/uW0jQmMIRKI/s1600/Bingo.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/"><br /></a></div><br />Here is what I created using the top section of the Bingo grid...that being Ribbon/Twine, Gems and Glitter/Sparkle....<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6546974817/" title="100_6817 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6817" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7026/6546974817_33efdcd198_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />Taking white card stock, trimming to size and laying the Intertwined Circles Mask from Studio Calico over the top, spritzing Piglet, Mr Hewey Mist over the top, heat setting the mist with heat tool, once dry I added Pumice Stone distress ink to soften the stark white sections. Trimming pattern paper to 3 different lengths, adding a V into 2 of these pattern papers, layering on top of one another and adhering to the spritzed card stock. Using more white card stock, running it through my Cuttlebug and cutting a small shipping tag from the Tiny Tabs and Tags die, adding twine at the top of the tag and adhering to the main card stock with foam dimensionals. Using more of the pattern paper and white card stock that had strips of Score Tape attached also the Cuttlebug, cutting out hearts from the Hearts of Plenty dies from My Favourite Things. Adhering the pattern paper heart to the tag with foam dimensionals and with the other heart, adding glitter and adhering to the bigger heart also with foam dimensionals. Finishing this main section by adding a sentiment, gemstones and corner rounding the corners. Adhering this to a trimmed white card and corner rounding the corners to match.<br /><br />This is a great way to use up scraps of pattern paper, by adding layering and cutting out dies you can create a great looking card and money saver also.<br /><br />I hope that you enjoyed viewing the card today and that you all find just a little time to create over the festive season...what a great Christmas present for yourself if you win, the lovely Heidi and the Simon Says team will offer one lucky winner...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564159035590780802" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HHQcn0Lw7Pw/TTfdKaYrJ4I/AAAAAAAAHmw/o9WC8BmkXtc/s400/Simon%2BSays%2BStamp%2B%252450%2BCredit%2BVoucher.jpg" style="display: block;

I have to say you guys ROCK! this morning I woke with such a big smile reading all the wonderful comments on my blog, twitter and wonderful emails, about my news of being a Web Artist Designer for Hero Arts...I could not be more thankful that you have all left me such wonderful congratulatory compliments my way...thank you hugely for all the support you all give to me, it means the world.<br /><br />Well I have had a great weekend and unfortunately it is almost over...but I have had a chance to catch up on a lot, especially the poor house work that was in much needed attention...I also felt that tonight would be great night to catch you up on my December Daily...however in saying catch up, that is not the case with me and my December Daily...I am way behind and I know that the 25th is just around the corner, so hence it will not be completed by then...but thanks to a dear friend who suggested jotting down things of each day, which I took the advice and have been taking a few snaps on my iPhone that I can go back and add when life settles down.<br /><br />Tonight, I though that I would share Day 2 and 3 with you all....<br /><br />Day 2 - I had been at work all day this particular day and had completely no idea what to write about, so having a wonderful app on my iPhone that my friend <a href="http://papertracer.blogspot.com/">Linda</a> told me about I took some shots of none other then my work shoes and wrote about the days events...I have to tell you I am in love with that app, which is called Pocketbooth!! it totally ROCKS!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t_hUMmaeDL0/Tu3Q7VshUSI/AAAAAAAABgQ/_QStitoL6Ac/s1600/IMG_0130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="133" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t_hUMmaeDL0/Tu3Q7VshUSI/AAAAAAAABgQ/_QStitoL6Ac/s400/IMG_0130.JPG" /></a></div><br />Not that my shoes are that exciting to look at, I thought that I would share the photo with you to check out what it looks like...<br /><br />Here are the pages of Day 2...using lots of Ali Edwards stamping, PTI die cuts, Tim Holtz tissue tape, Jenni Bowlin bingo card, snowflake punch, rhinestones and pattern paper.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6530580493/" title="December Daily.

Firstly, I want to start my blog post out by saying the HUGEST! of thanks to everyone who left the most wonderful and sweet comments on my blog for my birthday, to all my sweet friends on Twitter and Flickr, thank you so much and lastly, but the best of all, my dearest friend <a href="http://papertracer.blogspot.com/">Linda</a> who arranged the biggest surprise of all, a <a href="http://papertracer.blogspot.com/2011/12/surprise.html">blog hop</a> celebrating my birthday some of the sweetest gals around here in blog land were involved, thank you girls so much, I love you all! I can honestly say that I was truly honoured and heart was filled with gratitude, so much so that it brought me to tears...in a good way though...I have never had anyone at all do something this special for me and I thank you Linda from the bottom of my heart and love you dearly.<br /><br />Alright, now before I start crying again, perhaps I had better share the card for today and this card is for the new challenge that starts today over at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront">Simon Says</a>...<br /><br />It is all about a wonderful sketch this week and the DT gals have decided to create cards with La La Land stamps...Make sure to head on over to the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/">BLOG</a> to check out all the details of the challenge and the wonderful sketch created by our very own DT gal <a href="http://www.mephisto-domi.blogspot.com/">Domi</a>..<br /><br />I was running behind this week, what with 5 days straight at work, trying to finish creating gifts for the girls in our family for Christmas (which is a slow process), going Christmas shopping...well the list just keeps going..LOL<br /><br />Alas, I managed to create a card last minute and here is what I created using the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D36698%2Flala%2Dla%2DLa%2Ddsh%2DLa%2DLand%2FDetail">Sweet Dreams Marci</a>...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6509636313/" title="100_6713 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6713" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7161/6509636313_a7fb7a296a_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />Pretty straight forward card, using lots of white, glitter, stamping Sweet Dreams Marci onto card stock, colouring her in and stamping her once again onto pattern paper, trimming out the dress and attaching it to the coloured image. Finishing the card by adding her to the front with foam dimensionals, sentiment along the base and rhinestones.<br /><br />Would love to see you play this week and see your take on the sketch...as always there is a fabulous incentive for entering the Challenge the wonderful Heidi and the team offer...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564159035590780802" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HHQcn0Lw7Pw/TTfdKaYrJ4I/AAAAAAAAHmw/o9WC8BmkXtc/s400/Simon%2BSays%2BStamp%2B%252450%2BCredit%2BVoucher.jpg" style="display: block;

I was thinking about doing a video about how I created the clock on the clock card, what do you all think? Would you be all interested at seeing this or prefer not too?<br /><br />If you have come here looking for the blog hop, just scroll down to the post below....<br /><br />Now, how about a card using La Blanche stamp...I created this for <a href="http://jgsnook.com.au/">Jay Gee's Nook</a>...actually was a very quick card that I whipped up last night.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6486106587/" title="100_6711 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6486106587_05b0cb7de6_z.jpg" width="640" height="485" alt="100_6711"></a></center><br /><br />I took the dogwood stamp from La Blanche and inked it with soft pool ink, stamped onto white card stock and using a Spellbinders die, cut it out. Creating the rest of the card by adding layers of pattern paper from Lily Bee, Memorandum pattern paper, sewing around the edge of the main background paper, then the other three, trimming slightly smaller with each and adding a V in each of the ends, layering on top of each other. Placing a string of twine to the centre part and adhering the dogwood with foam dimensionals. Finishing the card by adding a sentiment and adhering to a trimmed white card.<br /><br />When I purchased the <a href="www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=531199&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D38791%2Fmep133%2DMEMORANDUM%2Dyellow%2Dred%2FDetail">Lily Bee paper pad</a>, I thought that I would never really use the papers that were in it, I have to say that I am in love with all these patterns now...a fav!<br /><br />Okay, time for me to leave you all and check out what the <a href="http://jgsnook.blogspot.com/">DT gals</a> have created today...also lots to do in the craft room before heading to work.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Busy, busy, busy...that is my life right now, but then again I am gathering so is everyone and that is why the call it the silly season...work, DT deadlines, home life, present making, blog work, commenting....deep breathe the list goes on....this proves how busy I am, I have not even had a chance to set up the tree and I am itching to do this...LOL.<br /><br />Some how each year it all seems to come together and before I know it, it is over once again for another year...<br /><br />Today, I wanted to share a creation that I made for <a href="http://purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/my_weblog/">Purple Onion Designs</a>...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6480929311/" title="Joy Taylor - Gift Card Holder by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="Joy Taylor - Gift Card Holder" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7023/6480929311_a120e7fb33_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />I had a little fun with my Silhouette Machine...I took an image from the Silhouette store and resized on the computer, sending it to my Silhouette machine and cut the image out, adhering all the sides, setting aside to work on the rest of the card. Next, I trimmed some Kraft card stock to form a card, stamping over the front of the card with the Vintage Snowflake that was inked with Frost White ink, corner rounding the corners and adhering the gift card holder to the front. Onto more white card stock, I stamped the Christmas Trees Framed Doodle, colouring the trees in and trimming out, adhering these to the front of the gift card holder and stamping the sentiment below. To finish the card I took some twine added this to the base of the card and placed rhinestones over the trees to complete.<br /><br />A great way to give a gift as well as a card....<br /><br />Before I leave you for the night I wanted to announce the winner of the Jane's Doodles Vintage Christmas stamp set....thank you to everyone that left super beautiful comments...you are all just the most wonderful followers...<br /><br />The winner of the stamp set goes to....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Making sure to heat set, I then stamped a sentiment at the base of the card stock with Versamark ink and heat set with white embossing powder. Adhering this card stock to a trimmed white card.<br /><br />Another great card to get those last minute cards out, what with it being pretty much one layered card.<br /><br />Be sure to play along with this week, as you know the wonderful <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront">Heidi and the team</a> allow one lucky winner to spend $50 in store and I know most of you would think that this would make a perfect Christmas present for yourself....<br /><br />Okay, time for me to wind down for the night and watch a little TV before heading to bed...<br /><br />I hope you have a great day!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So hence I am posting here today.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6444588077/" title="100_6599 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6599" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7026/6444588077_7b70c20b57_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />Using one of my favourite companies pattern paper, My Minds Eye, this time using Madison Avenue collection, trimming down slightly smaller then a trimmed white card and sewing around the edge and adhering to the card. Next, trimming some Kraft card stock, and taking the Peony stamp set, stamping the thank you sentiment over the entire Kraft card stock with Frost White ink to create my own patterned card stock. Adding a piece of pink card stock that was punched with the Scallop Sentiment punch to the base of the Kraft card stock, along with some pink twine. Using more of the pattern paper, I stamped the peony onto the pattern paper twice and trimmed both out, making sure to trim one slightly smaller then the other, adhering both together and then placing onto the Kraft card stock. Adhering the Kraft card stock to the front of the card with foam dimensionals. To complete the card I added a scattering of white pearls.<br /><br />I hope that you like the card and don't be afraid to use sentiments to make a focal point on your card. This way you get a lot more value out of the stamps that you purchase.<br /><br />Today I also have some photos to share with you all, these I did not take, but my friend sent them to me the day after the big storm that rolled on through here during the earlier part of the week, it really was an amazing light show in the sky...but quite scary to boot, as when I left work I had to drive home through this.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I stamped the gingerbread man onto white card stock coloured in, trimmed around and adhered to a strip of white card stock that had a piece of red card stock matted behind, adding Glossy Accents to the gingerbread man. Finally, I added a sentiment, some buttons and corner rounded the corners of the card.<br /><br />Well I hope that you are as excited as I am on the news and not to mention this awesome sale...<br /><br />Have a wonderful rest of the night or day wherever you may be in the world...<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I created a snowflake background inking up the snowflakes from the Making Frosty Friends with Pool ink and stamping over the inked card stock. Adhering this to a trimmed piece of white card stock for matting and setting aside to work on the rest of the card. <br /><br />More white card stock, stamping the snowman and hat and colouring in with Copics, trimming out and adhering to the inked card stock, adding the arms to complete the snowman. I then trimmed a piece of pool layering paper, stamping the front of the paper with the Houndstooth stamp that was inked with Pool ink and sewing around the edge. Punching a slightly darker colour of pool layering paper with the Binding Edge punch, adhering to the houndstooth background also, adding Stone twine to complete this section of the card. Adding the snowman to the background stamped paper with foam dimensionals along with a sentiment stamped under and adhering to a trimmed white card. To complete the card I added some rhinestones and Diamond Stickles below the snowman to create a snow bank.<br /><br />Make sure to join in the fun this week, as it is an open challenge, to see the details, click on the blinkie below...be sure to enter as many times as you can for a chance to win $50 shopping spree in <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront">store</a>.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj59/cheekychickz/SimonSaysStampChallengeBlinkie.gif" /></a></center><br /><br />We would love for you to join in, I just know that we would love to beat our record of entrants...so get inky and enter.<br /><br />Okay, time for me to go and spend some time with the Roly boy, he is missing Darryl, so I think some much needed attention may be in order...<br /><br />Have a wonderful night!<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Stamping the wreath with Brown Sugar and Cough Syrup on the tag and adding a sentiment below the wreath. Completing the project by tying the tag to the gift bag with red twine.<br /><br />Super fun and quick to create, something a little special to add to that present you will be giving...<br /><br />Here is a close up of the tag...<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulip1312/6408476539/" title="100_6589 by joytaylor1975, on Flickr"><img alt="100_6589" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6408476539_0801475c6a_z.jpg" width="479" /></a></center><br /><br />Okay now onto the giveaway...Judith sent me some <a href="http://jgsnook.com.au/catalog/Pens-56-1.html">Big Brush Markers</a> to try out and two of these colours I already owned, so I asked her if she would allow me to giveaway these two on my blog, she kindly agreed...love working for Judith, she is awesome...Make sure to check out the store for all of these wonderful <a href="http://jgsnook.com.au/catalog/Pens-56-1.html">Faber Castell</a> products, I cannot get enough of them....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Au8Xp5Y3Eyw/TtGUMS2fmTI/AAAAAAAABZc/-mZY6UpLk4Q/s1600/Big%2BBrush%2BMarker%2BGiveaway.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Au8Xp5Y3Eyw/TtGUMS2fmTI/AAAAAAAABZc/-mZY6UpLk4Q/s320/Big%2BBrush%2BMarker%2BGiveaway.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br />For a chance to win these two markers, just leave me a comment on this blog post by <b>Wednesday 30th of November, 11.00pm (EST Australian Time)</b>...good luck!<br /><br />Okay, off to do more resting...maybe even tweak my new blog banner for Christmas, would love your feedback on this one, as I am really not sure..I am also itching to jump over to the <a href="http://jgsnook.blogspot.com/">blog</a> and check out what the other DT gals have created.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GEQ2IrNg8_A/TtGRDgOTStI/AAAAAAAABZE/OILJWqo6SdI/s1600/468BB8A23231650CA2F7DC58780EE043.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="115" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GEQ2IrNg8_A/TtGRDgOTStI/AAAAAAAABZE/OILJWqo6SdI/s320/468BB8A23231650CA2F7DC58780EE043.png" width="121" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 84px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 89px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=40788&c=6621" target="_blank" title="Wreath for All Seasons"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111126/6584/75/1322354967.57" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 84px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 89px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=40794&c=6621" target="_blank" title="Postmarks"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111126/6584/75/1322355966.64" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 84px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 89px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=32024&c=6621" target="_blank" title="Brown Sugar"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111031/6584/75/1320114452.58" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 84px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 89px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=10397&c=6621" target="_blank" title="Cough Syrup"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20110903/6584/75/1315099110.2" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 84px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 89px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=12412&c=6621" target="_blank" title="London Fog"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20110908/6584/75/1315472341.07" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 84px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 89px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=4929&c=6621" target="_blank" title="Memories Dye Ink Black"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20110621/6584/75/130
