Owl Tree

So I thought I should post one last card before the SNB shop shuts it's doors for the last time.  I'm going to miss SNB.  I was lucky enough to start on the Design Team with the first DT Call... in fact it was my first DT!  So it's pretty special to me.  I've gotten to work with some fabulously creative ladies, and enjoyed the talents that Alison has shared with us.  So, I share with you today the Owl Tree image, in a 'farewell' creation....

I've kept the card clean, on a white background, but been generous with the colours... after all, it's a very exciting adventure that Alison is now taking... The Alley Way Stamps! I coloured with markers and glitter pens. I decorated the tree with heart shaped rhinestones... I love the way the rhinestones add dimension to the tree, and that their shape contrasts with the circle leaves!  You  can see a full description of my card at my personal blog, and you're all welcome to visit!

So Alison, thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you, your designs, and the many creative chicks that have passed through the SNB Doors... it was awesome fun!  And wish you good luck and good times with The Alley Way Stamps!

thanks for everything..

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know this is the last DAY to get this digi bundle special.. after the 12:01 AM Mountain time you will no longer be able to buy any digital stamps from stretch n bubbles.. but the blog will still be up with all the old posts and inspiration. So if you get the bundle you can go there and see the creations that the DT girls made using the same digis.. :) hugs

I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone of my DT girls... They truly helped make Stretch N Bubbles the place it was. Also thank you to everyone who supported my dream. I am now onto the reason why this store is closing. This blog however will stay up for anyone to come get inspiration from.

My new adventure you ask?

We are so excited to bring to you a new line of stamps that are fun, whimsy, and a little corky :) We hope you fall in love with The Alley Way Stamps, and bring them out to play often. We will be having a grand opening here in just a few days, so spread the word, let everyone know that there is a new stamp company in town!

There will be fun prizes, inspiration, and a freebie too! This is a wonderful way to start off the new year. We will be giving away free stamps each day of our GRAND OPENING!. We hope you will join us!

This is my new stamp company! I hope to see you all there.. come check it out

Thanks again.. and Happy New YEAR! HUGS

This is a really sad post for me - this is the very last post for Stretch N Bubbles as we know it.

Not for a bad reason - Alison is moving forward with the business and a company has bought out the rights to her images to make as stamps and stencils - how cool is that.  But it means that the digital side has to close.  I have been with Alison for so long now I am going to really miss it all - but I do have grand plans of my own for next year.

So say cheerio, and thank you for following me, I have a freebie for you.  Darling little Pounce

And a card made with him - the background was embossed with the folder inked - then inked again to pick out the raised areas.  Pounce is shaped and raised with silicone glue - and the tiny decals are actually fimo slices for nails

I have loved mu time with Stretch N Bubbles - and I hope you have enjoyed seeing what the digis can be made into

Stay with my blog and follow all the other projects I create
- and I will tell you my own grand plans for the next year in about 2 weeks

Yours

I hope everyone's celebrations have been wonderful and filled with joy.  Enjoy a few quieter days before the New Year's celebrations!  So, far from the maddening crowds of Post Christmas Sales, I share with you a clean and simple creation, using the Flower Friend image...

I have coloured with glitter pens, and glaze pens on the wee ladybug. After matting the image, I wrapped organza ribbon and pearls to  dress the white space (I was going to add a scrolled Silver "Thank You" sentiment, but it was too large). Unfortunately, our  clouded summer sun is throwing an orange hue over our town, so the card isn't showing as white as it should be!  I'd love for you to visit my personal blog to see a little more of this card, and my other SNB creations....

Have you been to the SNB Shop to pick up the fabulous collection of SNB images yet?  Such a bargain price.  It's only lasting a few more days....

Time for Tea

It is definitely time for a cup of tea (or coffee)... I'm posting late this week, because our town had flash flood rains on Sunday.... we had the rain filling our kitchen! Thankfully we had only a clean up job, with no real damage...

I share today one of my favourite images.... Flourish Teapot...

In needing a bit of a 'cheer up', I chose to create in bold bright colours... and pink with purple offers quite the bold contrast!  I have coloured with Glaze and Glitter pens, while leaving most of the image stark white. The card has been created with layers of decorative papers on a white cardbase... and the striped paper is flocked... it's so lovely to touch!  Please visit my personal blog for more details of my card shown here, and my SNB creations.... you're always welcome!

There is a week left to avail yourself of the SNB sale at the moment... I hope you'll get it before it's gone!

I am pining for Summer already - and we have only had a teeny-tiny bit of snow!

Love this cone - you could do it in so many different colours
In the shop HERE

Used my trick with the corner punch to give it a lighter feel.

I have a couple of friends that still prefer a 'propper' Christmas image - and this is just perfect for kids and adults alike


Softly coloured in Copics and simply mounted on a 6" card

Herbert Goes Christmas!

In a festive mood this week - well, wrapping gifts.... what better way than in a personalised box! Th adorning SNB image I used is Herbert Gnome... not a traditional Christmas image, but he sure looks festive in red and green!

For a small gift, I created a pillow box - I actually had an old pillow box that I had kept flat as a template.  I had an old gift bag, that was quite sturdy gloss embossed paper, so I repurposed it by using one side of it with the template.... to create the pillow gift box!

I printed and coloured Herbert in red and green glitter pens, adding marker for his face. I wrapped a white organza ribbon around the giftbox, and tied a bow.  I then topped it with a red organza poinsettia flower.

You're invited to visit my blog to see Herbert, and all his SNB buddies.... there are over 100 SNB creations in all (all easy to find, with a link on my left sidebar!

Have you availed yourself of the fantastic sale at SNB yet?  see the details at the top of the blog!
