Sneaky Peak of the upcoming Victoria Case Christmas Collection
This cute christmas angel was colored with prisma pencil crayons and printed off onto 92 Lb paper.
I used the odourless mineral spirits.

She is named Grace.She is a Giving angel.God says we are to give without boasting and when i see her i think of the many angels that have gave and noone knows who they are.

I used papers by Imaginisce----i also pulled out my cuttlebug and used my christmas folder that has peace,love, joy embossed into it.The flowers are by Prima,i added some stickles and flatback stars for embellishments.

As i have enjoyed making this card i hope you will enjoy it too.

Have a Great week and God Bless

Last Thursday i was asked to make 3 cards for someone who was expecting her fourth and the person who made the request wanted to give to each of the siblings to this newest arrival.

This lady that was expecting her 4th has 2 girls and a boy so this one was made for her little guy ----this customer asked that i use CCD stamps so here is what i came up with
These images are also by CCdesigns.
When she came to pay for them i told her to give the money to family in need in her church .
Hope you All HAVE A GREAT Weekend!!!!!

2010-05-16T20:39:00.001-07:00

Please Welcome 2 very special Guests for the month of May also Participating in our Mother Daughter Spotlight....Please join in on the fun here.

Nikki and her daughter Zoe are very talented artists and gave us a challenge to participate in.Also we will be offereing some awesome "Candy". Soooo the 2 cards i made were used in the above Image Serene Sophie and Sophie and Riley. My middle girl Catrina loooooooves her books and so this cute little girl is very dear to me.The Dog my son Elijah Loves.There is a friend who this kind of dog and generally it is very skittish around EliJah However EliJah Makes sure his pockets are full of dog treats when we go to visit. It is wonderful to see that bond.

The Sentiments that go with this sweetie is ENJOY YOUR DAy as well as" A book is a friend you can visit any time".

This Cute Image was originally Made with thoughts of Haiti in mind.But it has been used for so much.I love giving my children hugs i especially love getting them.A child can always turn to their mother or someone they can trust for comfort.I especially thought of my mother and how nice this would make of a Mother's Day Card.

Our Children need to know we are always there through everything for them....but with Haiti in Mind i thought of all the homeless children needing comfort,or who are parentless.I thought about all those people going to Haiti to offer Comfort.Then came the tragedies in Chile etc and this would be perfect to let someone there know you care.
The Sentiment that goes with this one is "SENDING HUGZ".

For both these images i used tombow markers,October Afternoon's "fly a Kite Series "of Pattern paper and a few embellishments.

Well i hope you get to join in the Challenge.Have a GREAT weekend/Week!!

Mother and Daughter Spotlight !!

2010-05-06T19:13:00.000-07:00

Well its time for another Mother and Daughter Spotlight using a Pink and Purple Theme.
Hi, I'm Phebe Meeder, proud mother of 3 children and wife to a very supportive husband. I am also the owner of The Townscrapper store, which is located in Petrolia, Ontario in Canada. I carry a wide assortment of papercrafting products, including an exclusive line of stamps designed by Victoria Case. I love making cards with vibrant colours, reading when time allows, bike riding and volunteering at the local school. I am excited to say that I am humbled by an amazing Design Team, called the Scrapettes. I feel blessed to be surrounded by my wonderful family, friends and all my Scrapettes.

Catrina and I looked these cuties over and decided to use So Beary Sweet Sophie.She stamps up beautifully.I have her ez-mounted so she can get that extra clean press.I used my tombow markers to color her.The papers are by "The Girls Papiere"collection.

I used PRIMA FLOWERS from the UMBRELLA line and added some flip flops that are part of neweat charms.

So i hope you all participate n this collection.

Hi, I'm Catrina and I'm 9 years-old. I have an older sister named Cecile and a younger brother named EliJah so I'm a middle child. I was so excited when Mommy asked me to craft with her for this special post. I love to sing and am in a choir with children from 23 different schools. I also love to bowl, read books and play lots of board games. I don't like veggies but I love to keep my room nice and tidy as I go into my brother's room and make a mess there - lol. I love giving hugs and Mommy says I give the best hugs EVER.

This is Catrina's Card and she was soooo proud of it.we didn't color ours together and mine was put away but it is interesting we used the same colors for the dress.

Catrina used the same PRIMA FLOWERS and cut out the flower from the pattern paper and added it to the corner of the card.

We had fun doing the Mother and Daughter Spotlight.

Hope you can Have Fun Joining In.

Have a GREAT Weekend!!

Most recently one of my favorite Images by VICTORIA CASE FOR THE TOWNSCRAPPER(me) is Hockey Mitch.These are my hometown Ptown Colors seriously gray,black and green ...wow that was a challenge in itself.This image was just recently released!!
So i stamped him up using Black Staz-On---on wcolor 140Lb wcolor paper.I pulled out my awesome set of Tombow markers,my paintbrush and a a bowl for distilled water.

I kept him very simple because he has a lot of detail himself. The Patterned Paper is by Imaginisce,the vanilla bean cardstock was used to give that bandaged look from the hockey stick.
The little flat back looking brads are new in the collection in the store

So this post is very simple Enjoy!!

WEARING BLUE FOR AUTISM and Hope you are enjoyin this BEAUTIFUL DAY!!

2010-04-02T11:10:00.000-07:00

I was asked to come teach a cardmaking class a couple months ago and the person hosting the class asked me to use this specific image----So since the class was in April(Autism Awareness Month) i thought to add blue in some way one of the many colors for autism .It is what i will be doing for the month of April add in small or large ways something to do with Autism.so when these flat backs came in i thought to add them. She has been wcolored with Tombow Markers ,paintbrush,distilled water.

The patterned paper Is BoBunny and the Flowers are Prima.The Brads are by The Paper Studio.

I used my white Inkssentials Pen for the spots on her tummy.

Since the colors used are Pastellish well then i tried to make the card light BUT i am a dark colorer so when i used pastel colors they still turned out dark.

anyways this image is by CCDesigns and i plan to add a Sentiment by Myself----Enjoy Life's simple Moments!
Enjoy Your Weekend And remember for Every Autism Image sold proceeds
will go to Special Needs for Autism,

Hope you had a great weekend!!

Phebe

2010-02-14T12:17:00.000-08:00

I used a new CCDesigns Pixie to make a card for my Sis-IN-Law!! She is a nurse and i have to say she is the best!!She always thinks of others and so when i saw this pixie i saw it as very fitting!!IDecided to use my nesties---i first used one smaller to create the frame and then again the next size up one and embossed it too.I used the tombow Markers as my wcolour medium. I have some spacers in the store and everything used on my card is available for sale right now!!
For the spots i used my inkssentials white gel pen (which i LOVE) .The flowers are by Prima the E-Line.

The sentiment is by Hero Arts.The Patterend Paper is October Afternoon.

I hope you all enjoy Family Day tomorrow and Happy Valentines Day!!

Sending Hugs to Those Who Need One!!!

2010-02-08T21:16:00.000-08:00

There is always someone who needs a HUG am i right or am i right.When my kiddies go and come home from school i get hugs----the one that when they leave are called rushed hugs in our house but when they come home they are the best because they are the most intense hugs.Each hug has a story--- I had a long day,trouble with a friend ,i need to talk to you,i had a GREAT day,or just that they missed me ( and I just missed them)...it is the hug i look forward to.Before they leave the hugs are meant so they can have a great day and that i am thinking of them or that i will miss them.A Hug will make everything better bad or good!I have a friend who i don't see very often who gives the most amazing HUGS!! This little guy was stamped on wcolor paper 140Lbs and i used tombows to color the picture.
The stamp is Hanglar---wish i owned some (truth be told i have 2).The sentiment is Hero Arts(my favorite sentiment EVER).

I had the light coming right down the center of this image.If you look closely you will see where i errored but the best thing about errors is that you can learn from them.

I really had full intention of using real fishing string and red bopper but i had to improvise and i found this bead,

The paper is October Afternoon,the brads i'm not sure but they are old and i used my wedge distressor.I pulled out my inkssentials white gel pen and added some pimples to the cheeks etc.

Hope you have A GREAT day

And for many of you who get to enjoy this beautiful snow ENJOY!!

Something To Check Out

2010-02-08T18:01:00.000-08:00

http://www.myorganizedchaos.net/

Happy Birthday !!!

2010-02-04T15:31:00.000-08:00

The Sentiment--Humble Pie
The Stamp --Hanglar

This is another image stamped out for me by the most amazing sweet person Maria.I made this card for a friend in town who turned mmmhmm 50 and guess what she looks phenominal and today is her birthday...i suggested she celebrate big and close up shop but instead she said she will be sewing together an outfit for her newest great niece.

The Pattern Paper is Imaginicse

The Cardstock is Bazill

The butterfly is a Die that i got from Stampin Up and i cut out 2 colors that would be matching to the ones in the Patterned Paper an i ran it throught the cuttlebug using the Swirl Divine Folder...then using my ProGlue Glider i laid down the butterfly and only glued down the center of the yellow butterfly then attached the 2 butterflies with a brad but really what i should 've done is pierced right through the paper before 3'ding it down...but i did think of the butterflies later.That part in the cornerwas bare so iadded 2 heart brads.

For a Coloring Medium i used TombowMarkers trying to leave shade in all the right places.I pulled out my Inkssentials White Gel Pen and put some lines in.I also added some stickles to the bows in her braid and I edge-distressed the cardstock a bit.

Hope you have a Good Day,

Lots of Hugs

Phebe

Will you be my Valenswine!!

2010-01-29T12:51:00.001-08:00

So I have this HH sentiment and wasn't fussy about what it came with but the sentiment is catchy sooo i brought this so stinken cute magnolia holding a runt that needs some TLC and thought they were perfect with each other.I made this card for my oldest that is an animal lover. I inked this cutie with black-staz-on & stamped it onto glossy ice white 90Lb hot press wcolor paper and pulled out my tombow wc markers,paintbrush, and distilled water.Of course i used 3-4 colors of each family.

I love my white gel inksentials pen----the other companies have dried out but so far so good.I used old patterned paper mixed in with the new bo bunny selections.

For the sentiment i used my oval nesties,added some primas,some gorgeous brads ,and rhinestones with stickles as an accent.I tried to case this from one of Maria's cards and i totally....well i won't finish that sentence wink wink.....Lets just say i did her no justice.

Anyhoo i hope you have a GREAT week and take care.

And P.S.

Its a Great Day to stay indoors and brew up some yummy Hot Chocolate or in my Case~~~ Tea and pull out your scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies and have some fun.

Glad the weekend was a tiny bit warmer.If you have a PA day today enjoy it I know I will.

That windchill factor was something else this past week eh!!

Tutorial on Watercoloring w Tombow Markers

2010-01-27T04:13:00.000-08:00

What You Need:
1. A Permanent ink/waterproof---I use Black Staz-on.
2. Distilled room temperatured bottle water.
3. A paint brush---i like a soft tip
4.Paper towel to get excess water off brush.
5.Watercolor Paper
6.Watercolor Tombow markers in 3 shades lightest to darker.

How to Apply it:
1. Stamp up the Image.
2. Figure where you want the light to come in from.
3. I chose the back side
4. Start with your lightest color ,
5. Wet paintbrush and remove excess----you want wet not dripping.
6. Go in circles around the markered areas until its all blended in.
7. Then apply second color 1 step-up in color
8. Take your paint brush or Aqua Painter and wet it againg andgo to the colored area and bring out the color again.

9. And with the 3rd or even 4th all darker than the other a little less each time and bring it out
10. I often take my brush after wetting it and take it to the marker taking color off so that I can control how much color I am getting.

And what you need to be aware of what shouldn't happen.

1. If you have a paint brush that is too wet then it will leave huge water marks on the image and it will be extremely hard to fix.
2. As well this will wash it out.And Lift your paper.

Have a Great Day!!

Phebe

Appreciated and Loved!!

Look at this gorgeous and stunning card----made by one of our Baking Diva's---Maria

So A quik post----A dear and generous friend stamped these Hanglars out for me,She gave them to me with a gorgeous card and a yummy candle.The above card is what she made me and it is a Magnolia!! These were inked up on fabriano wc 140Lb paper.So i pulled out my tombows ,paintbrush, distilled water and colored my heart out

I used all my scrap papers and did my best to make the colors flow.This card was made for someone i need to take more time to say that she is amazing.I added glossy accents to the bow and heart on dress,stickles to the wings and added up some dots with my white inksentials gel pen.

The paper is by WeRMemory Keepers.The flower die is a yellow original die and worked amazingly in my cuttlebug.All the paper used was from my box of scraps.

When i was done i walked the card over.I was a bit under the weather today but hopefully i will be better tomorrow.

Hope you all have a Great Day,

Maggie In Love---Humble Pie Challenge

2010-01-21T11:57:00.000-08:00

Well Heather has done it AGAIN!! Such a sweet Image.

So for this week i used my all time Foot-Popping,Madly in Love,"Maggie In Love".The challenge was to use pink,red,white and hearts.....How easy could that be?! And not only that BUT i made them on a tent card which i never had made before. So here they are,I tend to use browns when i use these colors.The patterened Paper is Bo Bunny,I watercolored the image using my Tombow Markers~~One of my favorite mediums by the way.

I used my sizzix yeelow hearts--the came on one die in 2 sizes....then i stuck them through the cuttlebug using my swiss dots folder.
The rhinestones are by Kaiser Kraft.

Hope you enjoyed this challenge.Because i definitely did.AND what i love the most is that i got to use a ton of different techniques....oh and this cutie is soooo sweet.

The Star of the Day!!

2010-01-15T16:09:00.000-08:00

3 weeks ago i used a very neglected Tilda.....i love her and believe it or not i was still making festive cards even though the holiday season was done.This year a friend of mine is getting married but as a younger girl she loved stars and at one time did her room up in them.

So when i made this card i was thinking of her.I hope she still has a great love for stars.So i inked this cutie with black staz-on, on wcolor hot press paper . I pulled out my tombows and my paint brush and a bowl of distilled water.

The patterned paper is by Pink Paislee---Bow and Arrow--Cupid line.And I LOVE it.The colors are so vibrant.The border and stars are punches by stampin' up.The embellishments are by the Paper Studio---The sentiment is Hero Arts.

I added glossy accents to the candle and stickles to the head band.The i grabbed my white gel pen by inksentials and dotted up some areas.So i am sending Hugs her way to wish her many blessings in her new year as she prepares for her upcoming wedding.

Hope you all have a Great Weekend,

{{{HUGS}}} to you too.

My Store!! Small and Cozy!!

2010-01-12T13:29:00.000-08:00

Before and After pics.... Before ----my goal was to open up the store and get rid of this table and get more light in.

So I had Lambton County Developmental Services make me this.It has shelving on the other side where I put all my die cut machines etc in,Therefore giving you customers more walking space.

I got rid of long shelf that had cardstock on it and do you believe 60 different colors fit on that rack ....awesome.

More walking room.And More Light!!

And i will show you the new Sweetie Pie Maggie very soon

Have a Great Day!!

Hark the Heral Angels Sing....Glory to the New Born King!!

2009-12-10T09:12:00.001-08:00

Well i must say i was itching to have a card for my shelf with this set and i found it proved to make a rather large card and a little more challenging but since its a ccdesigns it's still a favorite. The Patterned Paper is WRMKeepers ,the cardstock is Bazill Bling,the brads are Wassaill basic Grey the rhinestones are Kaiserscrapbook and the flowers are the hydrangeas are Prima.

I stamped the Angel Emmas(i have 1 set left) on 90Lb hot press wcolor paper .I then used my tombows ,a paintbrush and distilled water.On the gown i used light blues and light and dark greys for shading and the sashes a very medium teal blue

I stamped the sentiment on and 3d'd the middle angel and sentiment and i kept her pretty.I added some stickles to the wings and the trumpet,harp ,sashes and Halos!!

I do wish you all A GREAT week!!

A Tomboy,Blingy Girl,Mischievious, & All THAT!!

2009-12-09T16:01:00.000-08:00

This is another KK image.I am trying to make cards with images that i sell in the store.This girl is a Tomboy,blingy,mischievious,and ALL THAT!!This describes my middle girl to a tee. Tha patterned paper is WRMKeepers,the strip is Pebbles Inc.The brads are by The Paper Studio.and the flowers are Prima.I used my Heidi Swapp edge distressor for the Bazill Cardstock.The Watercolor Paper is 90Lbs hot pressed.and the mediums used is my wcolors tombow markers,paintbrush and distilled water.Of course when wcoloring you must always use a permanent ink in which i use a blck Staz-On ink. Of course i added some stickles to the final image and i use crystal stickles because when adding it to any color of ink it brings out the color used.

Well i am away for a week and so i do hope you enjoy this cutie and you know where to find her...here at the TownScrapper in petrolia.Don't forget about my special of buy one get the 2nd of equal or lesser value for 50% off....and this special has been extended till mid january to make up for the week i am gone and the week i am closed for inventory....but hey i will still phone and email orders.

Have a Great Week,

Watercolor Tutorial

2009-12-06T10:52:00.000-08:00

How to use the watercolor pencil crayons!!
What you need:

1.Watercolor paper: I use 140Lb Fabriano water color paper
2.Permanent Ink: I use black Staz-On
3.Blending stumps, a little dish with Odourless Mineral Spirits (OMS)

4. And of course your desired stamp-The ones I used for my image was from HUMBLE PIE of course.

Then you stamp up the image I will show you the snowman now I picked the left side to add color in because of the tree that’s at the left side that would cause the snowman to get the shade.
I then outlined the image with my pencil crayon.Then in using my blending stump I dipped it just enough into the OMS and in circular motions brought the color out .I never shade it in all the way then color JUST outline its all you need then if you feel it needs more you outline a little more.
Also when watercoloring always start with your lightest shade then go darker . If you have only one blending stump on hand and you are changing over to a new color then keep a sanding block on hand this will do two things:1) it sands off excess color before moving onto a new one and 2) it also sharpens the blending stump.

I find this is one of my favorite techniques and I am hoping that I get a 130 piece set for wcolor pencil Crayons for a gift this year however i am quite content not to get a single thing. Whether they buy it or i do it won't make a big difference.

I hope you all have a great week.

O Christmas Tree

2009-12-03T10:20:00.000-08:00

I cased this card as part of my humble pie challenge from one of our baking Diva's Blog Kim I cased her card from November the 13th. I used christmas maggie and it is gettin great responses.I think this card is self explanatory.i stamped this cutie on 90LB wcolor paper and used my tombow,paintbrush,and distilled water.My patterned paper is Pebbles Inc ,the cardstock is bazill bling...the brads are by the paper studio and the rhinestones are by Kaiser scrapbook!! Have a Great Week/end

Beginning to Look alot like Christmas!!

2009-12-02T04:41:00.000-08:00

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas and we haven't put up our tree yet.But the kids are getting anxious.Here is another KK post...sorry about the shadow coming onto the card. This little cutie and friend is a KKimmie image and as i start to use these stamps to promote the stamps i carry in my store The Town Scrapper i am starting to find a new love for these stamps.and because i have been rekindling the friendship between me and Tombow Markers i find myself to grab a stamp that has finer details which i find harder to use with wcolor pencil crayons.

I brought the light in from the right side.I layered the peticoat first without 3'ding it then i colored the scarf and coat and 3d'd that it was fun and challenging.

And you can see the 3d'd coat alot closer.I picked purple and blue because it was what was on my table and my goal is to see how much i can use what i have and trust me i have ALOT!!

Have A GREAT DAY!!

Building with Love!!

2009-12-01T08:57:00.000-08:00

OK so you may have seen this picture before....it was made during christmas vaca last year.My Husband brilliant and wonderful and extremely smart built a snowman his height 6'7....Well when the kids tried to put the scarf ,eyes nose etc,on for some reason they couldn't reach.....but as i pointed this out to them everyone else was excited to be out there with their dad oblivious to the height discrepancy.So this day Another snowman was built with VERY much love and enthusiasm. This stamp is by Wags and Whiskers,I ordered 2 because 1 was a gift.My girls are each getting one in their stocking but different wags and whiskers images....can't wait till they let me borrow them....i am itchin to ink them up and Let me tell ya do they ever ink up beauuutifully.

So i inked these cuties up using Black Staz-On Ink,90Lb hot-press frosted wcolor paper.I pulled out my Tombow Water-based markers,paintbrush,and distilled water....now i am not trying to draw attention to my error but if you look closely you will see what happened some red ran into the blue on the snowman but guess what it was not an easy fix so a lesson to learn is to be careful of the darker colors that you only need a smidge of.

This little cutie looks like it is being built with sooo much love.Again i used paper out of my scrap bin.The patterned paper is WRMKeepers,The cardstock is Bazill Wine Bling,the brads are by The Paper Studio,and the flower is actually from my stash and its Making Memories Noteworthy Blossoms.

And so i wish you ALL A VERY BLISSFUL AND HAPPY WEEK,

PHEBE

HERE at THE TOWNSCRAPPER

Hope your Holidays are TOASTY!!

2009-11-28T22:18:00.000-08:00

I can hardly wait to post this.I am planning to enter this into KK challenge.

AnyHoo I was dying to finish off some of that scrap paper in my bin and so, this We R Memory Keepers paper (it was the only piece left) was begging me to be used so i said to myself how creative can i be.I did my best to make this festive by using tombow markers that were holiday colors.I mean can we make almost any color of marker festive.....SURE we can. I stamped this guy on Hot-Press 90Lb wcolor frosted paper.I used Black Staz-On Ink,a paintbrush and distilled water.

I used glossy accents for the inside of the ears and the nose...I added stickle to the flame and on the bottom of the toasted marshmallow....festive right?Of Course!!The brads and flowers are by Prima and i used kaiserscrapbooking Rhinestones....I used things that all went together that were all part of my stash....I have a serious bad habit wanting to use new stuff.The buttons are by the Paper Studio. Also part of my stash.

The marshmallow was to me the most important part...it needed to look toasty i used very careful delicate colors...i am pleased with how it turned out.Well i do wish you All a very festive ,warm, and "TOASTY" Holiday!!

By the way toasty is the sentiment that you will get with this cutie.

Have a GREAT Day!!

Happy Birthday "DEER" Friend!!

2009-11-28T22:01:00.000-08:00

Another Kraftin Kimmie Card!!As I pulled this stamp with the excuse that i needed cards with these cuties .My goal was to use paper without cutting into new sheets....VERY hard for me to do.I wcolored this deer with tombow markers,a paintbrush and Distilled water.I inked my image using Black Staz-On Ink and stamped the image on 90Lb hot press wcolor frosted paper.

I used primas---hydrangeas....brads by paper studio and believe it or not absolutely no glitter but i did add some self-adhesived rhinestones by Kaiserscrapbook.This was a very fast yet simple card.I had absolute intentions of 3ding the actual image but i was watching a movie and cardmaking at the same time and i kafafalled.I was so dissappointed with myself....keep posted for a 4th Kraftin' Kimmie which also can be bought here at the TownScrapper!

Have a GREAT Day!!

Furever Friends!

2009-11-28T14:05:00.001-08:00

Friendship is a delicate thing to mesh.....through the years you come to find out how easily pleased you are.I am the type who likes an upfront honest relationship.I like it when someone can just say it without fear and with kindness and who can accept that back with laughter.I have a friend who is very much gentle yet forthright.And through time she has become a very dear friend.Through the years i have had friendships that consisted of goofiness,laughter,and great times and even if we do not see each other due to distance etc they are full of fond memories.And i do love my friends and try not to take them for granted. I have had friends right there with each other through thick and thin( and i mean thick cause i am most definitely not thin) and sometimes we were an odd couple.And even our husbands are friends we will be forever friends with.These are wonderful growing relationships.My most growing relationship has been with God and this more with time. And with time i grow in a knowledgeable way.

I colored these cuties with wcolor Tombow markers, using distilled water,a paintbrush,and 90lb frosted hot press wcolor paper .I inked it up using black staz-On ink.I used my lighting coming in from the right side.This is another of Kraftin Kimmies's first release. This stamp is named Roxy and Bernice. I am trying to use stamps that have recieved great review but that I have no cards of.So I will have 2 more for you that are of KK's Stamps.

The patterned paper is Pebbles Inc. The cardstock bazill orange sherbert bling. The Brads are Spare Parts by the Paper studio and flowers are Prima Sugar Daisy.The metal flower is from my stash.I also added stickles to the flower that that Bernice is holding.

Have a GREAT Week,

Phebe

Dog-Gone Cute!!

2009-11-28T07:31:00.000-08:00

This is an image by Crissy and isn,t he sooo sweet this is a card for a niece who celebrates her 9th birthday tomorrow. Isn't she sweet.I had so much fun making this card.My Niece loves furry things so i hope she will like this cutie. And so happy birthday to my niece!! And so i watercolored this image with tombow markers using 90Lb hot press watercolor paper.I also used Bazill cardstock for the base and the patterned paper is bobunny and that small strip coming across is We R Memory Keepers.The flowers are Bazill.and everything you see her i got from The TownScrapper located here in Petrolia.Today The Townscrapper is Open extended hours till 5 pm.And my special is Buy One Get A second for equal or lesser value of 50% off!!

On the flower i used stickles and glossy accents for the center.I stamped the center twice and cut it out and layed it down so it looked 3'D.The collar has stickles on it as well as the heart has glossy accents also.

I made the light coming in from the right side. This pic is not the greatest. Sorry for that.

Ok Well have a Great Weekend!!Make sure to stop in and get some of these Kraftin Kimmie stamps.

Whiff of Joy is known for their awesome stamps but have you see her latest artist here is a card i made using Tombows. Now i did really Looove this sweetie and within the 1st couple of days of them coming in they really sold fast.I had all of her newest images except for one and people were driving in just for these sweeties.Inside of this card i used an all time favorite sentiment "I played my best for him pa rum pa pum pum" and i love this cards turned out.

When i brought this cutie in believe it or not it was the kitty that sold me....

These are in with the whiff of Joy mouse that i also only have 3 styles of in. I added some primas,sparkly brads and some scrap Bobunny paper and of course bazill Cardstock.And i decided to use my nestabillities with the most awesome embossing $10 pad (best ever) that i bought from scribbles and scraps.Gotta say when something is good its good and i am sure for those of you that have one you would most definitely agree.And of course i used my smooches where i could ...these are fantastic for accenting.And oh my goodness NO stickles but oh boy i had the itch for bling.

AnyHoo

Have a Happy-ThanksGiving to you from the States.

And have a GREAT day,

Happy Birthday !!!

2009-11-24T22:57:00.001-08:00

This a card i made with a birthday thought in mind.Everything used on this card is older however the paper is new as of last thursday and i cannot believe this but it has flown off the shelf.This company is called "We R Memory Keepers" and i love this line its absolutely one of my faves. I used an old technique that i haven't used in a while and thats watercolor markers(tombows),a #2 paintbrush,and distilled water. Of course i used the 140Lb wc paper to stamp on with black Staz-on.

Then i pulled out my sizzix dual heart die, and put it through my cuttlebug then i used my cuttlebug swiss dot folder.The cardstock is a red wine bling Bazill. I pulled out my scrap green cardstock and edge distressed all the edges and i love this technique.

For embellishments the flowers are from my stash,the brads are Spare Parts by The Paper Studio.Later i added Glossy Accents to the hearts to give it demension and sticles for the bowin hair,wings ,socks,and on the yellow on her dress.

If this doesn't work out as a birthday card perhaps i can give it as a christmas or valentine card.Its a simple card yet it took me till 2 am to put it together.

Have A Great Day!!

I had this one done for awhile and since my kiddos have been sick i have done a bit of coloring. The only day i was truly open last week was Friday( didn't want anyone sick) so it actually gave me sometime to put the cards together.You ever do that have the image together for a while before you actually get it put onto a card well elijah and i stayed home from church tonight he has a wicked coupy cough so before my week gets busy here is my post.

This is a november christmas pixie by CC Designs and with my special it has been flying off the shelves but without it does well no matter what because who doesn't enjoy CC Designs. I know i LOOOOOVE them!!

I downloaded this cute ornament template off of someone's website and was amazed at how awesome and simple it was to make this card. I watercolored the pixie trying to shade bringing the light on her hair and your right side.She was lots of fun.I embossed the ornament using my Cuttlebug and Cuttlebug Swirls Divine Folder only on one side so i can write on the inside.I added stickles and rhinestones to the image and card.

Have a GREAT day,

God Bless,

Another Friday Challenge

2009-11-14T16:04:00.000-08:00

Another friday challenge from our Humble Pie DiVA Kim B.Well i wasn't going to go to my event in Sarnia....My kids being sick has really worn me out.This flubug thats going around is a doozy. AnyHoo....i did and i was amazed by the awesome response to the Humble Pie stamps.And the people were so excited about me being there that they have asked me back for next year!!So here is the challenge.Thanks Kim it was fun.I used my Copics because i printed the image off but i found out from another tricia that you can in fact wcolor with prismas without much fail so i cannot wait to try it. Now i gave my corner rounder to an EA to keep. I kept thinking i hadn't used it in awhile and i probably didn't need it and she was doing it by hand ick.....So i did mine by hand as if you can't tell but i am about to buy one for myself AGAIN!!

Well look at the inconsistency in my corners ...i am so proud...nahh but i did enjoy making this card.For one thing i LOOOOOVE the stamp but for another the challenge was awesome!!Thanks Kim.

I lent out my quikutz christmas lights but if i had them at the time i would have done a string of lights straight across!!As soon as these stamps arrive i will let you all know!!

Hope you All Have a Great weekend,

Phebe

Just the card this time!!

Do Not OPEN ''till December 25th!!

2009-11-11T15:33:00.000-08:00

A really quick post i have a family that is very very sick with the flu....the clincher is the on again off again fever.The thing is ,that flu isn't consistent one day the kids are acting like they could climb a mountain the next totally lethargic and if i wasn't sick along with them i'd truly question how sick they really are.I have been getting little sleep but alot of coloring done. OK this is another ccd cutie...hope you like it.It is watercolored in my most favorite way and i do truly looove the pine tree shapeability by spellbinders.I didn't think it was as flexible as it truly is.I LOVE IT!!!

Its a simple card for today...i hope your week is well and everyone well in your home.Oh by the way i used the buckle is from the hodgepodge hardware by stampin up and it took me a bit to find someone who still sells stampin up but here she is her website:www.cindypiggot.stampingup.net .She sells strictly stampin up so if you need to get some of those items i have been using look her up.

Have a GREAT week/end

Another image from a sneak peak of what is coming.Trevor is so sweet here and i guess i could have added the tree.I used scraps of bobunny patterned paper and 3 stampin up punches 2 different star sizes and the leaf die for the mantle look.By the time i was done i wasn't too fussy about my mantle look that the ornaments are hanging off of.I do have a sizzix ornament (compatible w both my cuttlebug and bigshot machines)however it has been lent out so i ended using the stars on their own. As you may have guessed i wcolored the image with OMSpirits and wcpencilcrayons.The sentiment & hanging ornaments are also by ccdesigns.

Then i layered,3d'd, added glossy and stickle accents and embossed the stars using my cuttlebug and swirl divine folder ( matches the ornaments)and added some embellishments.

Hope you have a GREAT week!!

Warm Winter Wishes

2009-11-09T15:50:00.000-08:00

I really cannot wait until the humble pie images arrive.....until then i am playing with my ccd holiday kit.I took a big chance on this card because I used alot of different techniques i don't normally use.My kids weren't well today and now i can feel a headache coming on. The bench,Emma,tree,and sentiment are all CC Designs and the dog (a favorite) is High Hopes.
So i stamped up the trees on 140Lb wcolor paper and then added the bench ,dog,and Emma later.I watercolored the images using OMS,and blending stumps as well black staz-on ink.

I pulled out my paper piercing mat which i called someone to see if i could link her up this is from Stampin UP and my fiskars blade and cut out the long slats in the bench and the small part in between her boots.

Then I glued the bench down using my trusty GlueGlider Pro and I 3d'd Emma holding hot chocolate mug and I 3d'd the dog.I used my nestabillity with the best ever embossing mat from Scribbles & Scraps (in sarnia) for the sentiment.The papers are a variety....140Lb wc paper,We R Memory Keepers patterned paper as well as "tis the season patterned paper" by BoBunny, and the rest is by Bazill.The flowers are Prima and only for $3.45...the brads are Basic Grey and the rhinestones are by Kaiser.I also added stickles as an accent as well I added glossy accents to the nose and collar on the dog .I will have to find a SU Demonstrator link and get back to you tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed this as much as i did putting this together.

A Hair-Raising Experience and SALE!!!!

2009-11-08T17:15:00.000-08:00

These cuties are new by CCDesigns.I actually had so much fun using this cutie that it was "hair-raising".But tell me isn't she the sweetest thing ever .Her name....Fidget Goblinspider!! I really love my top note die by Stampin' Up. I also cut out some circle and scalloped nesties and used my best-ever embossing pad by Scribbles and Scraps (in Sarnia)(best $10 dollars ever spent).I used my favorite colors when making this card.It will go to a very sweet friend who is sewing up a storm for me.....she makes these most amazing purses and she is making me 2 ,one for each of my girls.This mother that is making these purses sells them like crazy right about this time of year.I got my order in early...yeahhhh...i can't wait to see the look on the girl's face when they get them.Generally she makes them for adults and teens but my girls loooove purses sooo much that my pre-teen will be getting one too.

So i stamped fidget up on watercolor paper using black staz-on ink.I colored her using my wc pencilcrayons,oms,and blending stumps.

She was so much fun.I also want everyone to know my sale starts this Wednesday EVERYTHING is buy 1 get the 2nd of EQUAL or LESSER value for 50% off!!

Have a GREAT Week!!

CCD christmas kit

2009-11-08T06:55:00.000-08:00

I had so much playing with my ccd holiday kit that i had to share.The tree,sentiment,and skiing trevor are each part of the kit.As you can tell i used i stamped the trees on first then i masked the trees and stamped trevor on.Then i stamped trevor again colored him,cut him out and pieced him on.
I colored my image using watercolor pencil crayons , OMSpirits,and my blending stumps.
I used my nestabillities to cut and emboss 2 medium size trees,i also cut out 2 top notes using my top note die by stampin up and used my cuttlebug folder to emboss with the elegant writing.Then i added the embellishments...i pulled out some of my hard to use snowflakes with brads by "Spare Parts".I added stickles and glossy accents to the hat and image.

I 3d'd and glued everything using my 3d foam and i used my pro glu glider for the adhesive which i absolutely love and added "O Christmas Tree".

I love that he is skiiing perfect for the winter wonderland kind of weather.Well i have kids that are sick today so off i go to take care of them!!

Have A GREAT Sunday!!

The Greeting Farm arrived a week ago and this little cutie's name is VIVI and she is just in time for Christmas...this will be my make and take for this weekend's event....i will be demoing using the tree from nestabilities,cuttlebug folder,and watercoloring with the OMS.The paper is by American Crafts,the poinsettas are embellishments from a stash i had put away. She is a cute little Elf and she looks like a "cheerful giver".I loved coloring her and i added so much glitter because i wanted her to Jingle and Jangle!!

Does she ever look busy and that is what i need to do is to get busy on my holiday card making!!

Okay don't forget about the Humble Pie Challenge As mentioned in the previous post.

Hope you all have Jingle Jangle kind of week!!

Buttons & Bling Challenge

2009-10-17T07:21:00.000-07:00

The requirement of this week's challenge is to incorporate BUTTONS AND BLING into your design. Can a card ever have too many buttons or too much bling? Not in our opinion!! We know we're new on the scene so the use of a HUMBLE PIE STAMP is NOT REQUIRED for this challenge. If you have managed to get your inky fingers on one of our FAB stamps however, we would love to see it in action! The HUMBLE PIE BAKERS have cooked-up a delectable sampling of BUTTON AND BLINGIFIED creations for a little inspiration. So Hop on over to the Humble Pie Challenge Blog where you can participate
Have a GREAT weekend!!

Trick or Treat...This is A TREAT!!

2009-10-06T22:02:00.001-07:00

I used this set for the first time today and i absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE it!!!! It was so much fun to ink up this sweetie that i cannot believe that i did not pull her out earlier.As this card came together i realized that although i am not a halloween celebrater this set would be irresistable and i find myself excited to use it.I know exactly who i will give this card to.I have a friend in town that celebrates halloween with more enthusiasm than she does celebrating Christmas. The Patterned paper that i used was called trick ot treat by little yellow bicycle and it's web is white embossed and feels almost velvety.I used my square and scallop nesties as well as my fave martha stewart punch the bat punch.I also stamped it on wcolor paper and i used the OMS and blending stump with it.I addded stickles to the top part of hat and color of her top.How "witchy" she looks in a very sweet way.

There is a sentiment that came with this set which includes the pumpkin,broom witch maggie,and it is Trick or Treat.Right now we have challenges going on over at The Humble Pie Blog that i know you will enjoy So hop on over and don't forget to play.You'll love it.

Have a Great Day!

World Card-Making Day!!

2009-10-02T09:19:00.000-07:00

I am doing a mini reveal of Maggie in Love.I love this image because it simply reminds me of the good old days, when the legwarmers were huge and now back in....when simplicity came in the form of a single flower and foot-popping first Kiss.The question is after all these years do i still feel the same....Yes I do.But stronger!!Do i still get butterflies...and think my husband gets more dashing with time yes i do and everyonce in a while i need to pinch myself because i believe God gave me a knight in shining armor.
On my card i used my square scallop nestabillities and my dots and heart die & embossing folder by cuttlebug.This paper is new by Imaginisce.

So i am late posting my card for saturday BUT its never too late to enjoy some simplicity!!Oh and i still get butterflies when i see my husband walk into the room.

Hope you All Have a GREAT day!!

Like i promised you all i was going to do high hopes and i may still do that IF they arrive this week.But this is my backup cardand i love everything about it.I love Motivet and this stamp is part of their most recent addition.Isn't this image sweet.The paper is American Crafts and Bazill for cardstock.The card is 6x6.I used my nesties and i watercoloredthe image with a blending stump(s),and OMS. I love snowmen so this image caught my eye right away.I love the Paper too.

Motivet has some new hippos and even a hockey moose and they are ever so cute.and of course i have them all. Well i hope you all have a GREAT day,

I have a busy one ahead of me,

Sending HUGS!!

2009-09-20T18:11:00.000-07:00

I love Basic Grey's Wassail Collection and i happen to have the matching brads as well as buttons.I have had this for a year and just started using this.The image is Humble Pie found at The Town Scrapper and girl is Sitting Ellie so adorably sweet.

I have had this sentiment for 3 or 4 years and i do believe it is by HERO ARTS.I keep it in a little box on my store table and i absolutely have to say it is my most Favorite sentiment and my most used.Now i have a friend who gives the best hugs ever.....no matter what if you just had the most wonderful day it just got better when she gave you a HUG and if you had a quiet or difficult day cause lets face it that happens your day just got better with a HUG from her.I don't see her as often as i'd like but however we always exchange hugs.So this card is made with thoughts of her.

I actually got to stamp her yes real rubber and of course i watercolored her using a blending stump, and OMS.I used my square nesties and liquid paint pen.I kept her pretty simple but i cased her off of one of my DT members and although Melanie used copics i tried to use her shading as a guideline as to where i should shade mine.She had surgery and I hope she recovers soon...love ya darlin'!!

Well I Hope you all have a GREAT week and remember my special is on till tuesday and the PA DAY which is friday this excludes Wednesday and Thursday due to family appointments that makes me away from the store.

Guard your BANANA!!

2009-09-08T08:32:00.000-07:00

Have you ever sent your kids to school with bananas that started out yellow and before the lunch break they are bruised or parts of the banana is/was mushy...today i helped out in a classroom and the little child asked me if she could throw it out because the banana was "squishy" i told her to eat to the part that wasn't squishy then she could throw it out.It comes in various colors including red, but mostly yellow and sells for $6.98.Three cases arrived today but as already stated one case is already sold out.These hold any size banana and are garanteed to work.We have 1 in our home and my 2 kids that eat bananas fight over who will get to use it today.Banana Guards will be one of the best items for your kid's lunches,or for camping /hiking,or to stick in a briefcase/purse for a quick snack at work.My husband loves it for work he says its great to have something quick and healthy.I like it because i don't have to worry about the banana making it to the garbage or my freezer because its too brown to eat.

On top of everything else this product is CANADIAN.The person who came up with this awesome product is from British Colombia!! I am proud to be canadian and to sell great canadian products
Have A GREAT DAY!!

You are The Pick of The Patch!!

2009-09-04T04:20:00.000-07:00

Hi EveryOne Fall is almost here...my FAVORITE time of year. the weather is perfect,the leaves change color,squirrels are scurring about carrying chestnuts in their mouths preparing for their long journey of winter.However yesterday i went for a walk with my husband and we stepped out and it was so warm that he said weren't we supposed to have this weather when the kids were home in August....yeah now they are in school and i cannot take them to the beach...perhaps the weekend.This cutie is CCD and should be arriving soon. I wanted a deeper red for the wagon and if i added more color to her she would have been darker.i stamped were with black staz-on ink....pulled out prismas and OMS and blending stumps and colored her up.For this technique you also need a sanding block to sharpen and get access color off the blending stump before changing over to another color.You can get them anywhere and stampin up sells them in twos for under $5.So you can find your local demonstrator for them.

I used my scrap paper and it feels empty yet simple so i left her the way she was. Inside it says "You are the Pick of the Patch" also arriving from CCD.I just happened to borrow this from a friend....thanks friend.I added glossy accents to the wagon,wheels, mary-jane shoes,and head band.And i took my gel white pen and added some accent on the apron and sleeves.For embellishments i added some jewels and prima flowers and red shiny brads.And i edge distressed the corners which is $1.60 at The Townscrapper (ME).

Hope you Have A GREAT LONG WEEKEND!!

3rd Humble Pie Blog Hop!!

2009-09-01T19:10:00.000-07:00

I inked this guy up on Neenah cardstock and used some of my NEW BoBunny paper.Dusty is one of My Faves.
I used my Copics which I am still getting used to.i don't mind them actually but hands down i like my watercoloring better.I used my cuttlebug skull that someone gave me and although to be honest i am not a Halloween fan it seemed to go.

This stamp is perfect for a teachers card for the beginning of the year but also i used this cutie for a card i gave my son when he was sick last week.Really who doesn't need a teddy bear HuG when they are sick!!

Happy Fall Y'all!!

2009-08-21T19:25:00.001-07:00

My absolute most favorite season of all is by far FALL.I love how the colors change...How the weather is the perfect temperature and i am an earthy person.I love Fall better than any other time of year.I love the smell of cooked apples and pears,the pumpkins on doorsteps, and the comfort of a huge sweater to keep you warm. I borrowed this kit from a friend and he is from CCDesigns....I LOVE CCD more than words can express.They have to be my ultimate favorite(next to Humble Pie Stamps,of course) the quality of rubber is phenominal.So i took this cutie and stamped him on 140LB cold press paper by fabriano and OMS and a black Staz-On for ink.I added bats cause hey it gets darker and according to snoopy there are bats in the pumpkin field.

The Patterned paper is my newest BoBunny Paper ,and the cardstock is bazill.I used 2 Martha Stewart punches one the leaf punch and the other the Bat Punch.I will be adding a sentiment "You're The Pick of the Patch" also part of the Autumn Kit released last month by CCD.

As fall sets in we will be saying goodbye and hello to new journeys.Change of season is one way to do this ,scool starting is another as my nieces and nephew start school after labour day my kids will be starting school September 1st!

Another we will be saying goodbye to and starting with a new one will be J .We have one more appointment the we say GoodBye to pathways.J encouraged elijah to use all his right muscles and taught me not to discourage him even with the knowlege of his fatigue that sets in.She started with e as he learnt how to use the stairs without holding on right to riding a bike with training wheels and yes for Elijah This is Huge.

So many had an impact on us whether it was the receptionist who always greeted us with a smiling face or the man who could work his magicin special cases or the janitor who was a constant making sure everything was spic span.

We Love these Ladies.There are 3 more ladies of whom we need to be appreciative to and they worked hard on his Occupational therapy.

We will miss these ladies.They taught me not to fear the unknown with my son and to realize the skies the limit.They were so supportive and truly had e's best interest at heart. So next thursday will be our last drive to Sarnia for these scheduled appointments but as i said we will start with 6-8 more at his school.

And one more.Here is J.She has been EliJah's Speech Pathologist for 4 years and because EliJah is now at the age he can no longer come here on Thursdays,this means we will sadly being say goodbye to someone who has been a huge help to EliJah Language wise.J taught him/me too how to sign as a first method of language.EliJah has started to have many complete words in his vocabulary and we are so blessed to have her as part of our life.We will miss her very much.But as we close this door the school will bring in a speech therapist who can work with EliJah at school.

There are 3 others who will stay on with us but will be coming to the school instead of the vice versa.

So we say good bye to 5 and gain 3 more plus the 3 we keep.Elijah will miss seeing them.

God Bless and Hope you Have a Great Weekend!!

Family time in ArrowHead Provincial Park!!

2009-08-18T13:51:00.000-07:00

Here we are after what was supposed to be a 6hr drive after stop 7/8 hrs we made it.We were here for 8 days and 7 nights and 6 of those nights and days it rained.The pictures you see that have the beach/canoe scenes was our only really beautiful day....no joke.

The beaver trail was a hike we took very rugged and these mushrooms were everywhere.

A bird that maart tried to capture so i can look it up when i got home.

Deer were everywhere we read that they came out at dusk and dawn and their main vegetation was poison ivy...well it was everywhere but not nearly as bad as Wheatley.

By the end of the week the kids were listening to my small tidbit of music on my phone

Here Cecile at the end of her week recieved a 1st level gold the highest she could qualify for ...for being there the 1st time way to go Cecile!!

This the view from our canoe ride back from Stubbs Falls.

Cecile recieving her award.

The kids put a show on for the parents..Here goes Cecile.

Cecile had to rideover and break a balloon on the Volunteer's Head.

So here she goes.

They had 4 teams going to see who would finish first. He was wet.Apparently he goes to my B-I-L's Church.

And she goes back to the finish line

And here we are watching and all excited we don't look like it but we did cheer her on.

Cecile just off her horse.

We found this frog on the beach.We wanted to see underneath so we could look up the frog later.

Poison Ivy....

Here is the frog released.

Back from the beaver trail

We rented a canoe and went off to stubbs falls.
The kids looooved it!!

It made the canoe tipsy to take this picture

Deer Dad!! said elijah and sure enough we had caught a glimpse of a deer on the trail when we were canoeing.EliJah was so proud of himself for seeing it when we didn't and for saying it out loud...(well we made a big deal EH?).

Getting ready to go on our canoe ride.

Here we are at Stubbs Falls!!

A look from a distance.

Some of the beautiful flowers in the Park.

Our only day at the beach was on a thursday we were soooo happy for this sun.

Looking for minnows.

He released them but here are the minnows.

Another sand picture.He loves playing in the sand.

Cantrina building a sandcastle with a tunnelthat water ran through.

A bunch of the kids gatheres together for a game of soccer.

Maarten swimming with the kids.
Before you ask me in a bathing suit is very scary...eeek.

Elijah took a sandpail everywhere he went in the water.

Taking the Mayflower hiking trail.It was very wet.

We watched a Snake and turtles presentation and in the end EliJah stood in line to hold it yes he loved it and never flinched.

Unlike me yeah well i'd rather admire the "neatness" from a distance.

This Boa was a PET that was not taken care of verywell then handed off to the park they named her BITSY.The owners fed her everything until she could no longer habitat with it's owner anymore.

Stubbs Falls again.

A friendly visitor different than the one we found at the beach.

EliJah doing the loggers trail in Algonquin.Although it did actually rain at Arrowhead once we left and headed toward Algonquin it stopped.We did 2 trails here

Entrance of the Park.staying at Arrowhead allowed us to have a day pass free of charge.

Catrina at Algonquin.

Our friendly Bathroom snake another animal to be found at the park.It was said to be harmless and seemed that way.Another Harmless animal we experienced was jumping Mice.They had long tails and seemed to be very fast.Catrina Hated it more than I and i had to pretend i wasn't scared for her sake...doesn't help if we are both scared...now does it?!

Our campsite was spacious and right close to the washrooms just we the way we liked it.

Our campsite at ArrowHead Provincial Parkthey had a ton of hiking trails and although we took our bikes it was very rough and steep trails definitely for the best of bikers that are gutsy.....which hiking was good enough for us.We did 2-3 a day and we even canoed to stubbs falls which you will see later on. This is our first Day at Camp.

This is what the parks try to avoid when people bring firewood from one park to the other.My kids were impressed by how long his antennas were.

Catrina & EliJah loved feeding the chipmunks peanut butter on a stick.

Here we are at the look out point looking onto the Big East River.As you can see it is wet and although it rained we did enjoy the plentiful things to do.

The next day we dropped Cecile at Circle Square Ranch.

They picked up Cecile,EliJah,Catrina and Maarten Via Horse carriage from vehicle and brought them over to the Registration area where we checked in.... i walked over.Maarten went with the other 2 kids because they really wanted to go on that ride .

Next Day it rained Again So we took the kids to the Muskoka Pioneer Village in Huntsville--a very touristy beautiful town.

The kids got to make candles just like the pioneers did in the olden days. I have a ton more pictures.

Have a Great Day!!

So here is my images to the blog hop i couldn't makeup my mind as to which one i was using so I used 2 of them. I had a little trouble showing "Berry" Special Maggie so here is this one( Later On Today I will show you the other one) .I colored the flower in poppy colors for remembrance day. I bought some Neenah papers (from Scribbles and Scraps)for the use of copics and the colors i used are grays and browns on the hair and as you can tell i am still getting used to my copics. I love this Kneeling Maggie and I love that you really can use her with quite a bit of flexibility.

Isn't she cute...not my coloring but the image i fell in love with her as soon as i saw her and the artist behind this image is sooo talented.

She reminds me to enjoy the simple things in life . The sentiment is mine and i also will be selling it as a set.

Good-Morning, I have been working around the clock with Heather to bring You An Awesome New Stamp Line.I will soon be launching the first set of new stamps but as we wait keep an eye out for some sneek peaks.Also as part of my launch I will be giving away 5 Chrysanthimum Fairies. So have fun And I Welcome and Introduce Heather To Humble Pie .Heather is a brilliant Artist and came shopping one day with her Aunt and i was excited to hear she was an artist. Again here she is and Here is what Heather has to say. Hi there! My name is Heather Hambleton and I have recently started designing stamps for a line called Humble Pie! I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, and I am a former Beal Art student. I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold up a pencil. Drawing is definitely what I would call my one true passion in life! But when I’m not drawing I can be found at the gym or reading a good book. I am super excited to be designing for Phebe at ‘The Town Scrapper as she is just such an exceptionally amazing lady! Hopefully all goes well and you will like my images as much as she does!! -Heather

Have A Great Weekend!!

Sweet Pixie!!

2009-08-12T12:35:00.000-07:00

In this card i used 3 images,The tree is High Hopes,The Pixie is CCDesigns and The sentiment is Hero Arts. The color medium i used is Copics on perfect paper panels from My Favorite Things.I made a similar card a while back using OMS .These pixies are soooo stinken cute. The paper is by October Afternoon and the cardstock is bazill.I added some gems that you can buy at WAL-MART. Its pretty basic.Now everytime i make a card i notice what i can do better and perhaps next time i may not add so many white strokes,But However the camera is forgiving.

Since i like bright things i tried to make this card bright!!

Have a GREAT DAY!!

Phebe

I made this card using one of my favorite magnolia images however it was a bit challenging.It was made for one of the teachers at the school however i cannot remember who got it.

She was watercolored and very simply of course.
I stamped her on Black staz-on ink and using wc paper.I used wc pencil crayons for the medium and the blending &OMS.The paper is delight which is 50% off right now.

Hope You have A great Day...its a hot one here in petrolia Perfect day for the Beach.

Holiday Cards!!

2009-08-01T05:02:00.000-07:00

Holiday Card#2!! This is an Hanglar and i recieved this from a friend who has remained unnamed.Because once you find out you'll be asking for them,thats how sweet these are.I pulled out my copics and tried my best to do honor to the tutorials i have been watching online. This is the first time i have used my large snowflake die.I got it from Kim but if you live closer you can get them from Amy who also sells stampin up, and ain't it just lovely.I am soooo happy i have it.I stamped this little cutie in tuxedo Black ink on my favorite "Pretty Paper Panels"copic paper.This paper comes in packs and i have 3 of them left. And of course i used my acrylic ultra-fine paint pen for the cheeks and other areas to give more dimension.If you are interested in any info on stampin up i can direct you just drop me a note. Its a long Holiday Weekend here in Ontario Canada and so it'll be nice to relax.Just a word... I Am Open 9-1 on the Civic Monday!!

Phebe

To My Beautiful Friend!!

2009-07-27T05:15:00.000-07:00

Okay so todays post is added to a previous post...why you ask well i added an accent to the cheeks on the junebug fairy (below) and i used an acrylic white paint and an old stylus to apply it well i no longer need to do this i just went in search of a white gel pen and came up with this.I found it at Micheal's and used my 50% off coupon and paid only $3 for it.It is a paint pen and as you can see at the end it tells what kind of tip is on it i picked ultrafine but you can get them from calligraphy to thick to medium to fine and to ultra-fine.This is currently my favorite pen ever. I would say that this is a must have in every cardmaker's life.

I can think of sooooo many friends i want to give this to and i have someone in mind.She lost her cousin to cancer and what a mean fight he fought and i wasn't here when it happened.This stamp set comes as a set of 2 Junebug Fairies and sentiments and accesories.My middle girl and I will be watching more tutorials online to learn how to use the copics.The hardest part for me is trying to find out where the light comes in on the image. So i stamped her using my tuxedo black memento ink pad,and i colored her with copics.I kept this card very simple.The cardstock is Bazill and the Patterned Paper is by October Afternoon.I used my square nestabillities as well as my scalloped square nestabillity for the first time.my card is 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 and it should have been 6x6 . I really had to squeeze in that sentiment.I also edged distressed the edges of the OA pattern paper.
I added stickles , glossy accents,and acrylic paint for the cheeks...put some gems and buttons down and since I am a simple person I left it this way.
Hope you are Having a Great Day!!
