Here Comes The Bride..

Hello Everyone,
Sharon Klumph here today! I hope you had an enjoyable 4th of July and celebrated our nation's independence and freedom! Even though we have our problems, we are still the best country in the world, blessed by God since our Founding Fathers!
I used my freedom on the 4th to relax in my card room and created this Wedding Card, already on its way to California to Drew and Tish Pletcher, my cousin's son and bride! I hope you enjoy.

I chose Core'dinations Cardmaker Series, Lavender Pearls cardstock for the layers along with Image+ cardstock in White.

Layers were die cut with SIZZIX BIG KICK using SPELLBINDERS NESTABILITIES, MAJESTIC ELEMENTS, RADIANT RECTANGLES. I used Wax Paper with die cuts to easily remove them when cut. (What a HUGE help this is!)

Card was edged with PAN , Violet, #470.5

I used my SCOTCH ATG with Adhesive from Scotch and ZIG 2-Way Glue, as well as Pop Dots for layering. 

Inside sentiment is a stamp from STAMPIN' UP stamped with MOMENTO black ink and embossed with RANGER Clear embossing powder. 

Embellishments are a sequin strand from STYLIT SEQUINS (SEQUINS INTERNATIONAL INC.)and Pearls both from Pat Catans.

I love my ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD by WeR Memory Makers. This valuable tool allows me to create many, many sized envelopes using cardstock on hand! I embellished the front with pieces cut from one of the layers of the Nesties!

I recommend this technique, as it is a challenge and turns out so pretty. Takes a little time, but well worth it in the end! This is what this girl did on her Birthday Weekend! (Played, played, played!) Who says you cannot play at this age?

Play while you can,

Who Screams for Ice Cream?

Hello! 
This is one of those posts that has nothing to do with scrapbooking, cardmaking or any other paper craft.
Please, just roll with it and do not judge me. 

I am posting today to share something with the world and to relieve myself of this terrible burden.

I have two addictions!

  

Yes,I must confess, not only am I addicted to paper crafting but... okay, here goes....it's....ice cream!

Now that the truth is out in the open, I am feeling less stressed! So now I can tell you about my ice cream of choice! 

The one, the only....

EDY'S® Ice Cream - Grand Drumstick is the ultimate, most addicting ice cream I have ever had! It should be outlawed!! It is soo delicious! 

I feel I must lay it ALL out on the line.

I have more to confess...

I have been having late night jitters and the only fix that helps is just a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream. When my body reaches that point, it does not matter what kind or brand. The minute it touches my lips...it's sweet dreams for the me!

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month?

Hope you got a little chuckle with my story of true confection!

TTFN!

Hello! 
Hope your week is overflowing with endless creative mojo!

Today I am sharing a card I created for my friend and truly the best co worker ever to be had! 
She called herself the 'good cop' at the office, and I was known as the 'bad cop'.  
I, being the slightly more aggressive type and she tends to lean towards the passive side. 
It worked out quite well for us, we made a great team!
I don't miss the 9 hour work days but I do miss my 'good cop' !!  :-)

I made this card with the Cosmo Cricket ~ Baby Jane Collection using the 6x6 paper mini deck and the ready-set-chip stickers. 
The faux stitching was created with a black LePlume marker and the Hot Off The Press- Easy Stitches stencil. 
The sentiment was stamped with Fiskars All Year Greetings clear stamp and a little square ink pad by Rubber Stampede that I have had for many years.

I did make a matching envelope but oops, no photos....again :-(   Too, too many oops (senior moments) lately!  I guess I get too anxious or something, wanting to get my creations mailed out to their recipient...

Have a fantabulous and safe 4th of July!

TTFN 

and Happy Crafting!
