La-La.....La-La

Ok, went to CHA and watched (and helped) Susie shop. She has got a lot of nice, new stuff coming in to the store for everyone. She ordered cardstock, ribbon, Prima stuff, inkers, We R stuff...etc.....But she ordered a lot of my favorite thing....STAMPS!!!! She is actually going to get in Magnolia's and a pretty new line called La-La Land stamps.....OH, MY!!!!! They are SOOOOOOOOO cute. They were doing make-n-takes at their booth. They did a different one every day but we left on Wednesday so we didn't get to do the one they did today....but we did do the other 2.....Here they are....hope you fall in love just as I did :o)

Introducing: Mermaid Marci.....we met her on Tuesday

Calendar Class....

Latest on my Copic portable storage.....

Ok, so I have changed my Copic storage once again.....this has been an ongoing process. I kept out growing my storage so I kept changing. Well, I now have all but 10 markers! I will be getting them very soon, though!! There are 346 in all....YIP, YIP, YIPPPPEEEEEEE!!

OK, just so you can see what I had as to where I am now.....go here...http://mrslumpys.blogspot.com/2010/05/im-crazy-for-copicscrazy-for-copics.html so you can see how I carried my markers around prior to what I have now.....

which is this:

Isn't is just WONDERFUL??????!!!!!!!!!!! I love this and will not out grow it unless they keep coming out with new colors. I have room for 22 more markers, but have 3 blender pens and I need 2 grays (W00 and W0) and the flourescent colors (8 of them)....I...so I have 336 out of 346! WOW!!
Oh, and this carrier is an ArtBin Super Satchel Double Deep...and the grid is for a flourescent light. I got that at Lowe's for just under $12. I got the carrier on sale at Joanns so I have around $33 in the entire thing....oh, the dowel rod that I have in the corners (and one in the middle) was under $3.



Impression Obsession obsession!!

I LOVE THESE STAMPS!!!!! You can use them alone of together for different designs.....the options are unlimited!! Here are the ones I have to start my collection:

Ok, so what do you think??? Love them?? I have 3 more but I don't have them stamped yet, so you will see them as soon as I stamp them out!!



Bookmark....

I finally did it!! I made a bookmark! I have been wanting to make one of these for so long but just never did it. Well, I did it now.....and these are super simple!! To use it, it fits on the corner of the page....too cute!!

My June 18th class.....

Just wanted to share pics of the cards for my June 18th class. I will be teaching these classes plus the elephant card I made 2 posts previous from this one.

I colored this card with my copics on sticky back canvas. Love how it turned out!! The flower stamp is Hero Arts. The background stamp is Hero Arts/Basic Grey Life of the Party dots.The background was done with perfect pearls and versamark. The punched designs is a punch from Martha Stewart, leaves....then just topped it off with a couple of buttons!

This card was made with nestibilities die 'beaded circles', Just Right stamp (can't remember the name right off the top of my head), Hero Arts background stamp for the background (swirls) and for the large circle (envelope pattern and raindrop background), clear embossing powder and a white gel pen...simple!!

This is my favorite one! I did this with a Sizzix die (flower petal). first I cut strips of cream colored cardstock, then I stamped it with Hero Arts "old letter writing' stamp. I cut the cardstock down so I had 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" pieces and cut them on my Big Shot 8 pieces at a time. The leaves are the large petals from the die. Inked around the edges and put a sentiment stamp on it. Oh, I also used the smaller two dies from the beaded circles Nestibility die set...Love it!!! 

This is just a store sample I thought I would throw in here since I have not posted it before. She got some C.C.Designs  stamps into the store and I wanted to show her how you could sit it on something other than another stamp. They are soooo cute!! I used patterened paper, colored her with Copics, punched both a round and scallop circle and topped it off with ribbon and some I-Rock squares turned sideways!!



Altered Ring Box...

I keep everything. I need to stop doing that and I am trying. I am a hoarder....but NOTHING like what is seen on tv....not even close to that. That is so unimaginable how some of those people live. But, anyway, I always keep my ring and jewelry boxes inside the little cardboard boxes. I have decided to get rid of some of them but instead of thowing them away, I am going to alter them and take into my LSS and let her have them for displays! SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!



Honey Pops...

Ever hear of Honey Pops from Inky Antics? I never did until Mega Meet.....and now I know....they are SOOOOOOO cute!!!!! I got 3 stamp sets and some various honeycombs to go with them. If you do not know what I am talking about....prepare yourself!! (the elephant is my favorite one, though) :o)



House Mouse....

I love House Mouse stamps, although I have very few of them. Thought this one was really cute and I could not resist!!

I also love coloring with Copics....Going to have the opportunity to take a couple classes with Suzanne Dean....and I am Psyched!!!!! I can color just fine with my Copics....but I always have room for improvement and it will be so nice to see her techniques. And, I know I have a lot to learn from her!

Stamping Class Cards...

Ok....so here are the cards I made for my stamping class. I was really only supposed to be doing stamping classes but I started to make those other cards and they were turning out so pretty that those turned into a different class altogether.

Now, here are the cards for my stamping class which will be on May 21st....

Hope you all like them!!

Card Class

ok, the owner of my LSS has roped me into doing some card classes for her...LOL...but, I love doing it so here are the samples for my first class....

These cards all feature the Just Rite stamp set "Seeds of Kindness"

I have also highlighted some Spellbinders dies and a Tim Holtz die.

I used both the I-Rock and pearl pen for my embellishments.

And to top them off I used 2 different Martha Stewart edge punches and a MS butterfly punch.

Had fun doing these cards and looking forward to teaching them in May!!

Happy Stamping!!!!
