Altered Wednesday!

An Altered Wednesday hop that is!

Yes, it is that day again! A Queen Kat Designs Wednesday Hop! Wooohooo! If you just 'happened' upon my blog you will want to start at the beginning so go HERE.

If you are hopping along with us you should have come here via Shannon's Blog! Wasn't it awesome! I sure hope you left her a comment! We LOVE comments!

Yes, our challenge that Maria gave us today was to ALTER A FRAME! YIKES! 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?!

Okay...time to hop on! Time to see what Penny has in store for us today! Can't wait!

Hoppin Hot Wednesday!

Yes, it is time for another ROYAL WEDNESDAY HOP brought to you but Queen Kat Designs Stamps!

If you came here by way of Shannon's Blog then you are right on track! If not, then you want to go start at the BEGINNING at the Queen Kat Desings Blog.

This is INSPIRATION Wednesday and here is what Marie gave us for inspiration this time....



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!

It is Wednesday and that means it is time for another Queen Kat Royal Wednesday Hop! Woohooo!

You should have hopped here from Shannon's Place....if not, you will want to go back and start at the beginning so you won't miss one creation we have in store for you today! Go to the Queen Kat Desings Blog and start there!

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!

Thanks for hopping and make sure to leave us a little 'love'!
See ya next Wednesday! We have a wonderful color combo coming up! You will not want to miss it!

Blessings,
Juliet

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!

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!

Come check out the info HERE

Queen Kat Designs, Royal Call.....

Queen Kat Desings, Whimsical Ink Sorority Call....

Go apply! Go tell your friends to apply!!!

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!

Sketch Crop!!!

It is still going on at Scrapbook Heaven so you haven't missed your chance!

Here are a few of the things I got done for it so far!

This was for the card sketch...



And here are a few layouts....





You still have time to come check out these awesome sketches! I think there were like 17 of them!

RELEASE DAY HOP!!!

This is my FAVORITE Wednesday of the month!! Release Wednesday!!!

First, this is part of the Queen Kat Designs Hop, so if you did not start at the beginning, you will want to go BACK so you won't miss one blog!

AND if you are on track you should have come here by way of Shanon's Blog (wasn't her creation GREAT!)

Now, on with my creations....I had a BLAST because I got to create with Holly Christmas! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm not sure I did her the justice that is due her!



I couldn't let the little bingo cards from the Jenni Bolin set (you know the one that most folks throw away that shows what all the cards in the pack look like...) go to waste! I embossed Holly and colored her with copics and jells!

Then for the second one I wish you could really see it, I stamped the image with a glue pad and used white glitter....she is beautiful!

So much fun....I have a few other creations in the GALLERY, and have some ready to go for the month on the WIS blog! So be watching for those throughout the month! (I've got 6 Christmas cards made....yea me!)

Now...it is time to 'hop on' and hop over to Penny's Blog....I just bet she has something really great in store for us today! Thanks for stopping and have a GREAT day!

Hoppin Good Time

It's Wednesday again and of course that means it is time for another Royal Wednesday Hop for Queen Kat Designs Stamps!

You should have hopped here via Shannon's Blog and if not, you should start at the beginning on the Queen Kat Designs Blog.

Now, on with a creation...This week we are featuring a 'special project' and the project that was picked was a 'box'.....hmmm...I said.....and then I remember that I had a few of the premade matchboxes...so I whipped one of them out and then I found that I had already colored Tilly in the perfect colors! (she is actually purple and matches the box/ribbon perfect....sorry for the bad photograph!)



I'm not one that is used to doing 'boxes' but this was super easy and fun...and my daughter, Lydia has already claimed it....she LOVES the WIS stamps!

So...now on to more goodness and hop on to Penny's blog to see what she has in store for ya! Thanks for joining us and drop us a note to tell us what you thought!

Here ya go...

Here ya go...a little late but I said I would upload!

I think this one was my favorite from the weekend....of course it is one of the pics that my dd Reva took!



My son LOVES this one...very simple but yet VERY him!



This is my grand daughter....hard to believe she is almost 11!



And of course have to have some FUN in there!



Well, that is 4 of the 8 I did....hope you enjoy! I had a BLAST creating them!

Annabelle Fun

So this weekend (well Thursday through Saturday at midnight!!!) I got to go to a 3 day crop! Wooohooo! That was sooo much fun...

Can you BELIEVE that most of the folks were only scrappin???? They were hardly making cards at all! I just couldn't believe my eyes...ha ha ha....they just don't know do they?

So I pulled out a piece of chipboard that was shaped like a mushroom and saw some cute cards done by my friend (well, she was making cards with me...so it wasn't totally unheard of...but out of 250 women it was only a handfull of us!). She had taken a shape and made some cards with it, so I decided to lift the idea.

I stamped my image first, then centered the shape over it, traced and cut out. Then I just put a small crease at the top and glued them together....then I got to playing...what to do what to do....I just started coloring away. I wanted Annabelle to have clear wings so after I had the outside colored I used the glossey accents on the inside (you can't tell that well on the pics, but it is a cute effect!). After that she needed more....

So, I added the little butterfly using a little bit of wire to 'spring' at the top! It is sooo cute! This picture just does not do her justice!



And of course I used one of the new sayings stamps for the sentiment...

Now, if you want to see more of what I accomplished this weekend you'll have to come back tomorrow! I'll put more of it up! I did 8 layouts and 4 cards and I LOVE them all!
