Bundled buddies and Gnome garden

I have been doing a little crafting this weekend, this first one is a card from the Bundled Buddies My Acrylix stamp set from CTMH, this is the cutest stamp set, I couldn't wait to get it to play with. The white daisy cs is textured (now retired) I tore it in to try to make it look like drifted snow. I then edged it with stickles. All of my little critters were colored with coloring pencils and gamsol.

All product is Close to my Heart unless noted:

1381 White Daisy cs
X5761 Sky cs

This next card is for a very special young man by the name of Trent, who is currently at John Hopkins, you can read more about Trent on facebook at Prayers for Trent Williams. Trent loves pandas so I had to make him a card full of them, there is also a tiny one on the inside.

All products are CTMH unless noted:

And this last item, my friend Tammy came down today and brought her new Cinch to play with, I have a Bind-it-all, but I really liked the Cinch, it was so easy to use and I didn't make any booboos like I do with the BIA every now and then. LOL. We made these cute little 6 x 6 books, Tammy's is on the left and mine is on right. I could have done a little better with my cover but I started to do one thing and ended with another, so the cover isn't perfect but thats ok its for me.

All product is CTMH unless noted:
1381 White Daisy cs
C1470 Gnome Garden My Acrylix stamp set

Get well DT cards

As you know several months ago our CMS artist Guy was diagnosed with cancer of the tonsil, stage 4. He has undergone surgry to remove the tumor, and he has just completed some chemo and radiation theraphy. Guy is feeling pretty crummy as he recovers from his chemo, he is unable to work at this time. We have done fundraisers to help him cover his expenses.
Guy was so kind to doodle some stamps "Get Well".
Rather than selling these stamps though CMS as we normally do, we would like to turn your attention to his Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/Protoguy?ref=seller .
There you will the option to buy each image singly, or you can buy the larger sets. Every single purchase will go directly to Guy to help with medical and living expenses as he recovers.
Please visit www.copicmarkerscrapbooking.wordpress.com to see some of the wonderful cards made by our design team, here are mine. Hope you like.

Art Philosophy Cart, card and a few boxes

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend, I did and now ready for Monday, Tammy and I went to Scottsville on Saturday to the Charmed Butterfly to see Robin Hoffman and got a Caricature done. I will post that picture later, it came out real cute I think. So I really love the CTMH Art Philosophy catridge, I pulled it out again today to make a birthday card for my mother-in-law, I have one of the best mother-in-laws, I used the card from page 26, and cut it at 5 3/4", this made the window in the middle perfect size to see the happy birthday stamped inside though it, the flower is cut at 4" and is from page 68, I filled the middle of the flower with stickles diamond. Hope you like it.




This next picture is from where I just sat here and cut all the box shapes out, these are unfinished boxes, just wanted to show you all the different ones you get from the Art Philosophy cartridge, this cartridge has so many different images on it, I can't wait till I have tried them all. Also as I was cutting the boxes I also cut flowers and some cards out, I will most likely post these tomorrow. The papers I used for these were some I had just hanging around.

Cards & Pair-A-Phrase National Stamp month

Remember starting today when you place an order of $75.00 or more you will get our first ever double stamp set! You can get the exclusive My Acrylix Pair-A-Phrase double stamp set for FREE when you a place an order from August 15- september 30,2011. You will love this double set-two D-sized sets in one envelope-which includes lots of clever phrases and coordinating images you'll use in your handmade cards all year. this is a picture of the two D-sized stamp sets you get.

So I went to see Eleanor this past Saturday and she showed me the cutest little card, so I had to come home and try it, I couldn't think of a better stamp set to use then my new Pair-A-Phrase stamp set that I have been dying to play with. I hope you like it. I made a set of four to start with, I like these alot so they may be the cards I use for the upcoming holidays. Now this is what makes them different is that it is a 5 1/4 x 4 card but this is for the entire thing, the white base is 5 1/4 x 4, folded in half so the base is actually 5 1/4 x 2. Maybe I should make a video on this one, to show the ease of making it.


This is a close up of one of the cards. The outdoor denim scallop is cut at 2 1/4" and the B&T paper is cut at 2"

This is the inside, this was cut at 1" from the Art Philosophy cart, page 56

Art Philosophy flowers and some Scrapbook pgs

I was going to see Eleanor and Sonnie yesterday and wanted to take them a little something including the new Idea Book so I sat down Friday nite and worked on some of the flowers from the new CTMH Art Philosophy cart, these flowers are so easy to make. I also used the cart to make little gift bags to put these in and made them a little french fry holder to put a gift card in, just was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to take pictures of them, so I will make more and post later. So I hope you like these.
These first flowers were cut at 3" and 3 1/4"


This second set I cut in white daisy and sponged the edges with smoothie ink. These were cut at 3 1/4"



and I don't know why this one came out blurry. These were cut at 3"



This next is just to show which page the flowers I cut were on.

Altered Clock using Art Philosophy cartridge

I have been wanting a clock for my scrapbook room but I couldn't find one that I liked and that had dragonflies on it, well while at walmart today I picked up a plain clock for about $4.00 and decided that I would do my thing to it. I really like the dragonfly that is on the new CTMH Art Philosophy cart so I figured it would be perfect for what I wanted to do. I hope you like it. Some of the numbers may look a little crooked but I did this as part of the design that I wanted, I didn't want the numbers perfect.

We all know that the new CTMH Idea Book went live yesterday, but I want you all to wait to place your orders until August 15th. Why? you are asking...It will save you about $60.00!

Here is how it works:

Starting August 15th if you place an order of $75.00 you will get the "Pair-a-Phrase" double stamp set FREE to celebrate National Stamping month.
This is a $35.90 value. Already you are getting a huge savings but there is more!
To celebrate the changes to the Stamp of the Month program, the August Constant Campaign gives the "A Typeface" stamp set FREE to anyone who purchases the Stamp of the Month.

So lets recap:
A $75.00 order from August 15th-August 31 gives you:
