Hoppin time!!!

Wow...where oh where did 2009 go???  Can you believe that the last RWH of the year (and there are changes coming next week!!!!!) is here!?!

We have had an awesome year at Queen Kat Stamps and I would personally like to thank V (the QUEEN KAT) for another awesome year.  We instituted some awesome things in 2009.  Hops, introduction of several new stamp designers, some fantastic design team members, and just lots of fun!

So....on with the show!  If you happened upon my blog you will want to go start at the top so you won't miss a thing!  Go here to the MAIN BLOG.  If you are hopping along you should have come here via Shannon's blog.  Wasn't her creation awesome!?

This week we are focusing on a technique and this one is called spotlighting.  I've never done this before and I think I'm hooked!  HA!  I used one of my WIS girls, Peace of Mind. (sorry the picture is not the best....long story!)

I love this technique, because it makes your design just pop and it is sooooo easy!  You can use the most complicated stamp and it isn't complicated at all! 

Makes sure you check out Monday's hop also!  There are some awesome creations on there using the same technique!

Oh, and don't forget we have an awesome sale going on right now!  You won't want to miss it!  (Come on, you know you wanted some of these stamps for Christmas....why not treat yourself!!!) Recently our server went down so we are having a huge sale to make up for our lost days! Our loss is your gain!

Royal Wednesday Hop on a Tuesday!!!!

You as confused as me?  HA!

We are hopping on Tuesday instead of Wednesday because of Thanksgiving here in the states this week!  Lots of folks traveling and what not so we thought it best to hop early!

So.....if you came here via Shannon's Blog then you are on the right track!  If not start at the top so you won't miss a thing!  Go HERE....

This week is inspiration week and here is where we were to get our inspiration from:

Isn't it a BEAUTIFUL inspriation!  I love the colors...the soft blues and the white/silver....and yes, that reminds me of the winter colors!  So I picked up those colors and here is my result:

I used the Fancy Christmas Stamp Set.  You can't see it but I stamped it with my versa and it is embossed in silver!  Along with the edges of the image.  Also, a few bits of the powder were scattered everywhere and in real life it adds such a wonderful effect....sigh...I so need to learn some photo tips for these cards!  Paper is Basic Grey and Pink Paislee.  And I've had this cute little Santa pick that I've been wanting to use, as soon as I stuck him behind the bow I knew he found a home!  HA! The sentiment is a MM rubon.

Well, time to hop on....next stop is the WIS blog and see what is up there!  Bet is is gonna be great!  Thanks for hopping by....in case you get lost along the way here is a complete list of the hop this week! Don't forget to stop by the store at the end and add some goodies for yourself!  You deserve it!

Okay...here are a few of the creations that I did with this awesome kit! (please be advised that these pictures do NOT do these items justice! There is just something about taking a picture of a project that takes some of the umph away! LOL)

So far I've created one layout and 5 cards, but let me tell you, I could EASILY at LEAST double that!!! and I wouldn't be surprised if I could triple that!








You will need to HURRY and get your kit NOW, these will NOT last!!!!!!

Have a great one and check in Wed for our Royal hop! Gonna be a good one!

I LOVE our new designers and had to get Cabaret Fairy as sooon as I saw her! I have a 12 yo dd that LOVES to color stamps and she saw this one and BEGGED me for her! And let me tell you, it will be in no time at all when she is creating with the rest of us because she can knock out some of these! Better than me that is for sure! HA!

If you know me you know that I just LOVE to alter (cough cough cough.....yea right....)....so this WAS a HUGE challenge for me. I LOVE looking at altered items and often BUY stuff to alter I just never do it! So....went to my closet of 'stash' for this occasion and yup...there were several frames just sitting there ready for me to use. Then I thought, hmmm....hubby and I have an anniversary so make something for us! So....here is what I came up with, to celebrate 22 years of being married to my BEST friend!




I used some of the stamps from the September Royal Kit (the kit ROCKS!!!). And then the Bingo Card stamp is from the Findings Kit (you reallllly want to subscribe to this kit too...they are only every other month and no 2 kits will be alike!!!).

I actually had fun making this frame and hubby loved it! Yes, that is a picture of the two of us...and yes, we ARE that much in love.....aren't I lucky?!

Don't you just want to jump on that couch and curl up with a good book?! Well, I do!

I love the simplicity of this room, clean, neat and calm! So I decided I would go with that feel and pick up the colors of cream and orange. So here is my creation



The owl is from the Hooters Set and the tree came from one of the past kit sets! (Another reason you neeeeed a kit so you won't miss any of the stamps!)

Well, now it is time to hop on to Penny's Blog.....bet she has some awesome stuff in store for us today!

Have a super week and wait to see what we have in store for you next week! I better get BUSY!

Hoppin Hot Wednesday!

Today is our color challenge! The colors that Marie chose this time are Olive, Yellow Bronze, Brown, and Cranberry. YUMMMY colors!

Here is what I came up with! I used one of Maigan's beautiful ladies, Peace of Mind!

I stamped her and cut her out. Her 'wings' are actually done with stickles to add a little dimension and depth!



Okay...so now it is time to hop on to Penny's Blog and see what she has in store for us today! Hope you enjoy the hop and we would love it if you would leave a little comment or two along the way!

Sketchy Friday!

First...my thoughts and prayers are with all of the folks out there that lost loved ones on this tragic day 8 years ago....and my THANK YOU's go to all those unsung HEROs from that day that walked INTO danger!!! And last but not least THANK YOU to all those that serve our country for the cause of FREEDOM whether it be here at home or serving in a foreign country!

I don't know if you know it or not, but every FRIDAY Scrapbook Heaven's blog has a NEW sketch go up!!! I don't know about you but I love them and they so often serve as a jumping board to many layouts and cards that I create!

Here is the sketch that just went up!



And here is the layout I created for the sketch!



This is also for one of the awesome monthly challenges the Design Team comes up with each month!

AND I used the September Paper Kit! It is sold out but can I just say that you WANT to be a member of the Angel club!! That way you will NEVER miss another kit again PLUS you receive a discount for EVERYTHING else you order through the store!!! And sometimes some SPECIAL offers!

So...how about showing me what you do with the sketch!!! AND better yet, SHARE it at Scrapbook Heaven with us!!!

QK Royal HOP ~ Sketch time!

Woohooo! Are you a sketch person? I sure am!

Did you know that once a month (the Wednesday after release Wednesday) we have a sketch hop!!! Well we do!

First, you should have hopped here from Shannon's Blog, if not and you just happened here then you want to make sure you START at the beginning at the Queen Kat Designs Blog!

Now....Here is the sketch we are all using this week:



And I decided to flip the sketch and here is what I came up with:



I used the Swirl Tree Stamp in the Separates line! The 'Give Thanks' is from the Give Thanks Stamp Set (perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving season!)

I added a few pears just to dress up the tree, but all alone it is beautiful!

Now, it is time to see how Penny used the sketch! (She is one of our layout designers! Woohoo so not only do you see cards created with the sketches but also layouts!) I'm sure she has something awesome in store for us along with all the other Queen Kat DT!

So....(I digress too often) start at the top at the Queen Kat Designs Blog....

I got to play with Peace of Mind...isn't she just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I just go aaahhhh....when I see her...so tranquil and peaceful!

Here is one card I made with her....(you'll have to check in later this month to see more!!!!)

I used some stickles for her 'wings' and love the effect that it made!

NOW along with the girls that are being released this month we added some more accessories!!! (You know every girl needs to accessorize!)...and I played with the present stamp!

I know....it really was meant to go with Holly as a Christmas Present, BUT I just wanted to show you how versatile this is! I used it as a birthday present!!!



Isn't it super!!! Oh, and I also used the Fairie Tales Stamp Set for my sentiment! Yup...you will want all 3!

Okay...time to hop on....you will continue at the blog home of Penny....I just bet she has something awesome in store for us with our scrapping!!! Woohooo!

School is IN!

Routine is always good....right? We started school Monday....2 days have gone fairly well also...ha ha ha....

Thought I would share a few things I did this weekend....

This was for a challenge at Scrapbook Heaven! The challenge was 'artwork'....I think I got it wrong, but that was how I interpreted it....I'm not always good at doing them right! HA!

Oh....and you will wanna keep your eye out at the SH site! There are some AWESOME things in store for the month of September! First will be the Featured Angel there! In order to be nominated you have to have stuff uploaded in the gallery!! Check it out HERE! You have a few more days but you don't wanna miss it!!!!

Then I did a few more things...but you can't see them yet...LOL...you have to WAIT until the 1st for the reveal! The September kit is ROCKING and you NEED IT!!!


Then I did this card....so sweet!

Yea, I did a few more things...but you'll just have to wait! Hope you enjoyed! Have a great one and see you tomorrow for another super hop!

Royal Hoppin Wednesday!

It is Wednesday again! YEAAA!!!!

Time for another awesome Queen Kat Royal Design Hop!

You should have hopped here from Shannon's Blog. In case you just 'happened' on my blog you will want to START at the beginning on the Queen Kat Blog....

This week we are taking the COLOR challenge! And our colors were pink and teal! oooohhh....aaahhhhh.....those are some FUN colors to work with!



(not the best photo....will try to get a better one in the SUNlight) For this card I used the quote from the July Royal Kit (which rocks by the way!!!) AND the Lace Border Stamp.

So much fun and love the combo of teal and pink! (yes, it is teal and not blue!)

I also thought I would just take a minute to share with you guys about the NEWest kit on the block! It is the Findings Kit. These kits will be VERY limited in number and only come out every other month so you will WANT to order yours NOW!!!! All the products are unique to each kit and no two will be EXACTLY alike! They will each come with an exclusive stamp set and are sooo worth every penny! ($20 and that INCLUDES shipping!)

Here is a layout I made with the kit....



Okay....I say it is time to hop on! And next you will be checking out what Penny has in store for us today! Have a great one and HOP ON!

pst...in case you need some help through the hop...here is the hop order!

Teee hee heee....

Check this picture out....and tell me what my DD and SIL (Martina and John) shared with us last night....



Yup...we are going to be grandparents! Woohooo! I have one BEAUTIFUL grand daughter already. She is 11 years old and we love her sooo much. The only thing is that she is only 10 weeks younger than my youngest (Noah) so I never have really gotten to 'feel' like a grandma! (well, I feel like one...ha ha ha).

Anyway, we are excited to announce that we will be grandparents again!

Did you know....

Queen Kat Designs is having a DT call! For both teams....the regular QK Design team AND the WIS (Whimsical Ink Sorority) DT team!

Royal Wednesday Hop Time

Yes it is Wednesday again! And this week it is a sketch inspiration!

First, if you just happened on here and want to start at the beginning (which you will want because you won't want to miss out on all the fun stuff!) go HERE to the QKD blog and start at the top! I get to be the first hop after the QKD blog this week so if you here from there you are right on target! (thanks for hopping with us by the way!)

Now, the sketch....fun one!



And here is my interpretation....



I used the August Royal Kit! This kit ROCKS! The colors are so much fun (that is actually more of a lime green than a yellow...just couldn't get it to show up that way...sorry). The stamps are AWESOME! You NEEEEEd this kit! LOL...

Now, one more thing before we hop on....did you know that there is a NEW kit type coming to Queen Kat Designs??? Oh there is...and it is one that you guys are going to LOVE! Here is another card made using this 'kit'....it goes up in the store on Sept 1, so GET ready and these will be VERY limited kits!



So now....it is time to HOP ON...and hop over to Penny's Blog...I bet she has something fantastic in store for us today!
