Riley off to Vegas

Hi everyone,

I wanted to join in the fun again with another card I made using Riley and Co.'s Riley and Sophie in Las Vegas.  The classic car is from Local King Rubber stamps from right here in North Vancouver. This card is for someone who would love to be in Vegas every year for his birthday, and I can imagine him driving down the strip in this classic car.  I am joining the following challenges:
Pile it on - it moves me #111
Daring Cardmakers - on your travels
Lil Patch of Crafty friends - #36 Anything goes
Love to scrap challenge - #80 Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Embossed Spring Tree

Hi everyone,

This card idea is straight from a Jessie Hurley class I took at Making Memories.  We used this stamp in the class, but with a different color combo.  I thought for a St Patrick's day birthday for someone that loves pink, this would be perfect.  The butterflies were punched out of glitter paper and popped up.  The tree and poem stamp is heat embossed with pink, two shades of green, and copper embossing powders.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Your next stamp #34 - colour challenge.
A Gem of a challenge # 164- spring.
Fussy & Fancy Friday #159 - things with wings.
Cute Card Thursday # 416 - Lace or Ribbon
Pile it on #103 - Green & two other colours
Starinmypocket - include embossing

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.  Have a wonderful weekend!

On vacation

Hello everyone,

It's been longer than I hoped before posting again.  I have been working a little more this summer, so I hope to post more cards soon. Although not tropical, I thought this was a good reminder of our Alaskan cruise earlier this year.  It's also a new stamp that I had been anxious to play with.  The stamp is from Stampscapes and is very long, so I just chose one end of it.  The paper is also new to me and from DCWV.
I am entering this into just a few challenges:

Scrap-Creations:  Vacation
Chocolate, Coffee, and Cards:  Life's a beach
C.R.A.F.T. Challenges:  Inspiration picture
Simon Wednesday Challenge:  Beach/Nautical

Thanks for stopping by.

Rockin birthday

Hello everyone,

I was so happy to see that Peggy chose stitching as her challenge for Farm Fresh Friday.  It has been a long time since I have used one of the Greeting Farm stamps (this is the first time I have used this one), and I don't normally do stitching (or faux in my case), so this just came together perfectly.  I am also a big fan of Peggy's work. She is a great inspiration. In the corners of the card are music inchies by Inkadinkadoo.  Unfortunately, they don't show very well in the picture.  I wish I had embossed them.
I am entering this into the Farm Fresh Friday challenge.
As well as the following challenges:
... Joyful Stamper: Inspire Me Fridays - 60 Anything Goes!
Totally Gorjuss - Something new
Charisma Cardz Challenges - No Flowers
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything for kids #10

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Bentley Bear

Yay, I won at Meljen's designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am so happy to have found some time to create again. I knew from the minute I received this stamp, I would use it for my Dad. It reminds me of the family roadtrips, although we didn't have quite as nice a car. I am submitting this into a few challenges. The sketch I used is from Scrap, Stamp and Doodle Saturdays. The color scheme comes from Meljens Design Team challenge #60. It also goes with the Father's day/Special Man theme at Craft your days away challenge.
Thanks for stopping by,

Another Christmas card

Here is another of my Christmas card designs for 2010. I dry embossed some silver sheer paper for the background. I like how it turned out. The cardstock is from DCWV. Thanks for stopping by. Tanya R.

Busy, busy, busy

I feel awful that I haven't been posting for awhile. Life just got so busy, I had very little time to myself. The only cards I have to show are for Christmas, even though I know everyone is over Christmas and onto Valentine's day. I hope you will still enjoy them.

This card was made using Little Loud Stamps. The punch is from eksuccess and is actually a flower underneath the snowflake, but the swirls reminded me of a snow drift. There is a little bit of glitter on the snow, but it doesn't show very well.

Enjoy your evening and thanks for stopping by. Tanya.

Another High Hopes Blog Hop

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been away, but August is always a busy month for me. I do have some images I would like to share with you soon, but for right now I want to share the new release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I love their images and look forward to the blog hop on September 1st. Hope you can all join in for the fun. Cheers, Tanya R.

Welcome Eli!

Hi Everyone,

I have to admit that I have not been working in my craftroom too much these days. We finally have some sunshine, but most of all, I have injured my finger and it is now in a brace. The doctor's say that I should try to avoid using it. Considering it is my right index finger, that is not an easy task. So even now typing this is a challenge, but I wanted to still share some designs I have done recently. This one is to welcome my friend's little boy into the world. He is a cutie. I used a dreamweaver stencil for the carriage. I glued and glittered the de-bossed side. The background is a rubber stamp I picked up at Michael's awhile ago and the congratulations is embossed with white embossing powder. I have to start a card now for her baby shower and I hope to show that to you soon. Thanks for stopping by.
