I was at work early last week and took some stamping with me to pass the time. A neat trick for water colouring using the Stampin' Write Markers is to put colour from the marker onto a clear block and then pick up the colour with an Aquapainter to colour the line image.



Supplies
Stamps: Perfect Mix
Colours: Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine, Stitched Shapes framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals, Aquapainters

The Ferris wheel design of one of the sheets made me think of sunrays. A perfect fit for these pictures from our walk in Lemoine's Point.


These adorable little packages are 1" boxes, but smushed so that a Peppermint Patty can fit inside!

When we picked the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack for February's Crop in support for Epilepsy Canada I knew the paper would work so well with pictures from Pizza Hut! And the monster stamp from Yummy in My Tummy is a perfect addition. The Project Life page used is Design 2 from the Variety Pack 1.

Lisa Henderson created this adorable Little Monster scrapbook page with adorable pictures of her son. Even though the Designer Series Paper Stacks are 6"x6" you can put 2 together to create a 12" long panel for your pages!

And these were the Thank You gifts we gave out to all the attendees at Saturday's crop! Hersey nuggets are inside each mailbox!

Looks like fun, eh? You can join us for March 4th in support of Martha's Table - sign up here by visiting Crop Kingston's Facebook page - we'd love to see you there!

Supplies
Stamps: Yummy in My Tummy, Layered Letters Alphabet
Colours: Real Red, Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Pink Pirouette, Cucumber Crush, Pool Party

Saturday's Crop was fun day in support of the Kingston Animal Rescue!

Have you tried black and white photos on your layouts before? These work perfectly with the Smokey Slate (a fav colour of mine). On this page I wrote the people's names directly onto the pictures before sliding them into the pockets. Our Project Life Journaling Pens are perfect to write with and don't smudge when you write onto photos. This Project Life page is Design 5 from Variety Pack 1

You might remember seeing this card from my OnStage Ottawa Display Stamper projects, it's great to reuse an idea to share with others! The stamp set used here is Iconic Occasions Host set found in the 2017 Occasions Catalogue.
These last 2 projects were designed by my upline Lisa Henderson. I love the scrapbook pages that she creates! The fox on her scrapbook is adorable too!

This sour cream container is filled with a few Hersey Kisses and really easy to make using one 6"x6" piece of the A Little Foxy Designer Series stack.

So excited to share my samples I made for the Ottawa, ON Onstage event this past weekend! It was a lot of fun creating all these samples. After putting up my samples on the display board I was so nervous that everyone was going to see them!! There are 15 samples that I made. Enjoy!










And here are all my samples up on the Display Board in Ottawa!

Stampin' Up! is looking for Display board stampers for the November OnStage event. I missed attending last fall and I'm looking forward to attending this year. Last week they announced they were looking for display board stampers and I thought I would give it a try! Please enjoy some new In Colors and stamps!




My last project uses the Moments Like These Project Life cards and the new Swirly Bird stamp set. I love these two items together!

Just have to say: I love Project Life and Stampin' Up! together. Project Life is a simpler way to scrapbook your memories in photo pockets with cards. I find it really simple to print my pictures, choose my filler cards (unless I have every pocket filled with a picture - and sometimes I really do have that many photos!) and embellish a little if needed. The above photo is a page from my 2014 album.

Have a peak online here to see all the Project Life items that are available from Stampin' Up!.

Supplies
Stamps: Endless Wishes
Ink: Bermuda Bay
Paper: Everyday Adventure Project Life Cards, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Paper Doilies, Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, MDS to create the flags with journaling on the picture.

Ink: Basic Grey, Midnight Muse
Paper: Soft Suede, Naturals White, Whisper White
Accessories: Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape, Gold Sequin Trim, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Banners Framelits

I love watercolours and the Happy Watercolour stamp caught my eye in the Occasions Catalogue. Pairing this stamp set up with gold made it pop even more!

Ink: Smokey Slate, Versamark, Calypso Coral, So Saffron
Paper: Calypso Coral, Watercolour paper, Gold Foil

Just noticed as I posted this that I forgot to colour in the goose - I had meant to, but it turned out really well without colour! Have you ever made a mistake on a card and not noticed until it was too late?
Stamped the goose on watercolour paper (the better paper to make really pretty watercoloured images) with Black Stazon ink. Then added 2 strips of Champagne Glimmer paper to add a little sparkle. The Woodgrain texture and Linen Thread give the card a more earthy feel.

Supplies
Stamps: Wetlands
Ink: Black Stazon
Paper: Watercolour paper, Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar, Champagne Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Linen thread, Artisan Label Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Woodgrain Embossing Folder
