DT Post for CCC { Monograms!}

                  It's DT revel day at Catherine and Cathy Create and our tag challenge for October is

MONOGRAMS!

 

Here's my tag and I figured if I was making a pretty monogrammed tag to go up on my wall then I might as well use my own monogram, right?

 

 

 

Well I must confess that I don't actually own an alphabet set from Stampin' Up...yet! So I had to do a little improvising. I dug through my stamp sets and came up with a lovely Christmas stamp from two years ago called Christmas Postcard and by using my SU marker was able to color in just the "M" and stamp it onto white card stock.{ Perhaps I could suggest the alphabet stamp set to Santa? If anyone sees him could you pass that along ?}

 

Stampin' Up supplies for this project include:

 

Everyday Enchantment papers  126154

Christmas Postcard stamp 121428

Baja Breeze ink

Cherry cobbler ink and marker

Mambo melon card stock

white card stock

Dazzling Diamonds

Curly Label punch 119851

1 3/8" circle punch 119680

1" circle punch 118861

corner ticket punch

Natural Trim 129287

 

In case you are wondering where I used the circle punches.... I used them to make those paper flowers on my tag! Cute eh?

 

Thanks for dropping by today. Happy stamping! Toodles!

 



Where has the time gone?????

                     

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't done a blog post since April!!!! Oh dear! Life sure does get busy sometimes, doesn't it?

I spent most of May and early June getting my garden up to snuff for my son's graduation. With a bad back all last summer and thus no gardening, needless to say the weeds were

HUMUNGOUS!!!!!

But I got it all done and we had some lovely pictures and the weather cooperated for photos!

 

 

Congrats to my "baby", Scott on his graduation! He's off to Stephenville in September to do mechanics.

 

Now I have some other exciting news to share with you!!!!

I am now a proud member of the Design Team at www.catherineandcathycreate.com

 

I am on their Tag DT along with the talented  RHEA SKOMORSKI and one of our fearless leaders, CATHY CAINES . There are so many other talented crafters on the other teams...cards, Christmas, memories and the Monthly Challenge . Please visit www.catherineandcathycreate.com to check out their work and join in our challenges!

 

Here are my two tags for this month. All products featured on CatherineandCathyCreate are Stampin' Up.

 

With my first tag, I  decided to incorporate this months color challenge with the tag challenge of the theme 'Party'.

 

 

The cupcake was made by simply scoring a strip of cardstock at 1/4 " marks and fan folding. The 'icing' is a 1 1/2" circle punch that was then punched along the bottom with a scallop punch and glitter glass glued to the bottom. Sentiment is from the set " Sweet Little Sentiments' and colors used are Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry.

 

My second tag is more true to my shabby chic style!

 

 

Again, all products are Stampin' Up.

I've used:

 

Chocolate Chip cs and ink.

Leaf stamp is from " God's Beauty"

Sentiment is " Apothecary Art"

SU Banner punch

Butterflies are made with SU Embosslet "Beautiful Wings"

dimensionals

pearls 

 

Thanks for dropping by today and may I add a HUGE congratulations to Cathy Caines on her appointment to Stampin' Up's Artisian team! Woot woot!
