The Blog Hop starts today and runs though midnight (EST), March 30th. Hidden Prize winners will be announced on the YNS Blog

Today I used SUMMER on my card. I recently attended a Tea Party and she reminds me a girl going to Tea Party. I thought she would be perfect for a Mother's Day card. A couple of years ago a friend of mine put together a big Mothers Day Tea at the local botanical gardens. It was so lovely!   The rest of the card was put together with various things I have in my stash. The gorgeous crocheted heart was handmade by a crafty friend, Danielle, that I recently met at a weekend girls get away. Danielle is super talented and super sweet!!!!

Now, we don't normally give 2 order discounts opportunities within the same month, but this release calls for an extra special discount....receive 20% off your entire order over $20. Head on over to the YNS store after hopping around.

 

Now come on and check out the rest of the DT's fabby creations using this beautiful release!

Thanks a Latte...

Good morning!!!!! Sorry for the quietness around my blog lately. I have taken some time off so that I can spend more time with my family.  In doing that I recently stepped down from a couple of my Design Teams. It was such a hard decision to make. I didn't want to leave any, truth be told. But I needed to make some changes and I had to evaluate the requirements and my time.  My hardest one to give up was YNS. The owner is such a sweetie...I will truly miss all of them. Not to mention the images are adorable and fun to work with.

All these changes could NOT have came at a better time for me though. I have been struggling through pneumonia for 2 weeks now. Not FUN!! They tell me that I need to REST...what the heck is that???  Needless to say, has not been easy for me to get the rest that I need. Knowing that I do not have as much DT work on my shoulders has helped though. I'm also bummed because I missed out on all the Halloween parties this weekend. :-((  Oh well, next year I plan on being in the Keys...so I will party plenty then! ;-)

Thought I would share a card today using Thanks a Latte from Your Next Stamp (YNS).

Copic Colors:

Hair: E21, E23, E25, E29
Red: R22, R24, R27, R59
Orange: YR61, YR65, YR68
Shoes:  E42, E43, E44

Thanks for looking!

Trick or Treat

Halloween is going to be here before you know it!!  This is the first year that I don't have any parties to go to or dressing up to do, it's kind of sad! ;-(  Sure wish I was in Key West right about now! I guess it's for the best though, I have been sick for a week now. Instead of getting better I swear I'm getting worse.  I try to tell my Drs. that if not treated properly my colds will turn in to Bronchitis....they never seem to believe me until a couple days later I come back in worse that when I saw them!! 

 

I have not felt like doing anything this week. I haven't picked up a marker....I haven't read any books. This crazy girl has made tons of cupcakes though. Probably why I'm still sick. Hopefully I will be better by Weds, a friend and I have 500 cupcakes to bake and decorate for a Fall Festival this weekend.

 

On to my card, I thought I would share this before Halloween comes and goes... this cute witch is from Your Next Stamp.

 

Copic Colors:

Skin -  E000, E00, E11, R11

Black - C03, C05, C07, C09

Hair -  Y21, Y26, E33

Dress -  ?????

 

I have been changing up my oranges this last month and I can't remember which colors I used...sorry about that!

 

Have a good one,

Tracy

Fun Friday!

Let it snow...well not quite......but that is the theme of this months Fun Friday at YNS.  My card isn't really a "let it snow" I don't have many of "those" types of stamps because to be honest, it depresses me. I miss seeing Snow...ON OCCASSION....and I have such a small amount of time to use them because living in florida once the holidays are gone, my mind is WAY off of  snow and winter themes. You know when the temperature is in the high 70's and I'm wearing shorts it just feels weird drawing up a wintery, snowy image!!

So my card this week is a Christmas card, hope that works for you! ;-)

 

I have used Light Me Up from Your Next Stamp, colored with Copic Markers.  The paper is from Bo Bunny and the ribbon from my Stash. The Sentiment is from the Holiday Snow Globe set.  Which by the way, after I colored this up thinking I had nothing in terms of Let It Snow, I could have used this awesome set!! Guess what you will be seeing NEXT fun friday!!

 

Thanks for looking!

Fun Friday - Treat Box

Good morning!  It's time for YNS Fun Friday!  This month we are also showcasing ways we organize things. Here's the thing, how does an unorganized person showcase that?? hahaha  Ok  I am not that unorganized....but I don't have anything that stores my items that is pretty...except my Ribbon Carousel.  I LOVE my Ribbon Carousel not only does it look pretty, it's functional and doesn't take up that much space. It's about a 7x7 square. Thats it!  So I have this bad boy sitting right at my workspace.

Did I mention how purdy it is????

Is this not just the most cutest way to store your ribbon? I bought this from The Ribbon Carousel and she even sells the spools that go along with it. Love the look, soooooo cute and tidy!

 

Now on to my project. this week I decided to make a Treat Box.  I like to make little boxes or other types of projects for a few of my co-workers for Halloween. This box called the, 2,5,7,10 box is quite simple and may be this years gift.

 

I have used the Creepy Crawly set from Your Next Stamp along with the Trick or Treat sentiment. 

 

Copic Colors:

Hair/black stripes - C3, C5, C7, C9, 100

Purple - V00, V12, V15, V17
Jeans - B91, B93, B95, W4

Skin - E000, E00, E11

 

Thanks for looking!!

 

Disclaimer: I currently design for The Ribbon Carousel, however, I bought my first carousel well before I was ever on the design team. I truly do love the design and function of it. That is my opinion alone, I was not asked to say that or given any product to do so! I found a great product for organizing things and wanted to share it with my friends and followers!  Thank you!!!

Fun Friday and some organization tips!

Hello!  Today is FUN FRIDAY over at Your Next Stamp and this months theme is "Trick or Treat".   We are also showing off a little bit on how we organize our crafty items too. So be sure to check out all the DT's blogs to maybe get some inspiration.

 

My card is made using the POOF! set by Your Next Stamp.  The sentiment is from the Trick or Treat set also by YNS. It's all colored up with Copic markers. The paper is  from the latest Echo Park Chillingsworth 6x6 Pad which I picked up from The Ribbon Carousel.

 

Copic Colors are:

Skin:  E000, E00, E11, R20

Dress:  C3, C5, C7, C9, 100

Green: YG21, YG23, YG25, W4

Purple:  V01, V04, V6, V09

 

This month the YNS girls are also showing off some of the ways they store and organize their things. I am going to show you how I keep my Copic Markers. I have showed this before, but it's been quite some time. I love my copic storage!! It sits right in front of my work station and I just have to grab what I need. I like having the numbers in view. Nice thing is if I go anywhere it's a basket so I can just take it with me...no need to take them out and put them into anything else. This is an old photo, I have almost outgrown this basket, my little compartments are stuffed now. Love it though!

I used foamboard and a basket that I purchased from Michaels to make my storage unit. I just measured my basket and then cut the foamboard with an x-acto knife. You can see in the photo that I cut notches, this makes it nice and sturdy. I've been using this same for about 2 years now and have NO ISSUES....whatsoever!  I also made a basket for all my re-inkers. The foam board doesn't bow or anything with the weight of the re-inkers or markers. Cheap, inexpensive way for storage compartments.
