Perfect Words

As a rubber stamper and scrapbooker, I am always looking for the perfect words to add to my cards and pages. For me, there is nothing worse than getting my card or scrapbook page finished and then sitting at my desk staring at my design because I have no idea what words I want to use to convey just the right feelings. 

I know that it seems kind of silly that a person like me has trouble sometimes finding just the right words; I do write a twice weekly blog after all. But wording can be just like inspiration, and even creative people need a little help once in awhile. So where do you go for help with the perfect words? Well, for me, I look to a few different places. 

Rubber Stamps- Once rubber stamping became a huge hit in the creative industry about 15 to 20 years ago, you could find a stamp for just about everything, except words or phrases. I am so happy to say that has changed. Now, you can find a word or phrase stamp on all different topics. Check them out the next time you're at your local rubber stamp or scrapbook store. 

The Internet- The Internet is a great resource for finding words, phrases, and quotes to use on your cards and scrapbook pages. All you need to do is type “Perfect words for cards and scrapbook pages” into your search engine and in seconds you will have access to thousands of websites on this topic. 

Books- Books are another great way to gather this information. Check out your local Barnes & Noble, your local library, or Amazon.com. You'll be amazed at what you can find.

A Note from Me

I want to remind you to be sure you have permission from whichever resource you choose to use. You do not want to get into trouble over copyright infringement. A lot of this information is free to use and it should say so. But it never hurts to take that extra step, just to be sure.

Thanks for joining me. Until next time…

Snowman Paint Can & Wearable Pin

I really hope that you enjoyed my last post on Monday, because I decided to carry on the snowman theme by creating a snowman paint can gift container with a detachable, wearable pin. 

This project is fabulous for a few reasons. The first one being that I saved money by using the same rubber stamp on all the projects. Who doesn’t want to save money around the holidays? The second reason is the paint can is the perfect gift container to put your card and ornament in to give to your loved ones. And the last reason is by creating the snowman pin as part of the decoration on the paint can, you can give your loved ones an additional gift with the wearable snowman pin! On top of all of that, it is so darn cute, it’s bound to make your loved ones really happy. What could be better than that?!

If those aren’t reasons enough for you to create this project for your loved ones, let me give you one more. It’s fast and easy to make, and I don’t know about you, but those are two words that I love to hear during the holiday season. 

I hope that I have inspired you to try to stop the madness of the holiday season by sitting down, picking up your rubber stamps and scrapbook supplies, and create something fun for your loved ones. You are sure to put a smile on your family’s faces and I guarantee that it will put a smile on yours. 

I hope that you enjoy the holidays with your family and friends, and I wish you lots of love, good health and happiness for the holidays and all year long!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas Card and Ornament

It’s time for another Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop! This time we were supposed to post either a Holiday themed project or be part of “When Creativity Knocks Sock Monkey Challenge”. I didn’t get a chance to get involved with the Sock Monkey mania, but with this hop you’ll have the opportunity to check out both themes! I hope that enjoy all the holiday hopping. Don’t forget to click on the blinkie on the right side of my blog to hop from one blog to another. Have Fun!!

I have been busy working on some projects to share with all of you. The first project being a card and ornament set that I made a few years ago for my family that I updated a little bit for the current holidays. 

I absolutely love making cards for the holiday season for my family and friends, and if times allows I also love to create ornaments that match my cards. Your cards and ornaments don’t need to be elaborate unless you have the time and if that’s the case, I say go for it! Since my time is usually limited around the holidays, I like to keep my projects fairly simple, but always something fun! Snowmen are my favorite holiday characters and I wanted to create something with these cute snowman rubber stamps that I have. They were just perfect for the projects I wanted to create.

I hope that you’ll consider creating an ornament that matches your cards, because your card may get pitched out with the Christmas tree, but the ornament will be saved forever!

Thank you for joining me. Until next time…

Holidays at the Rojas House

Today I want to share some pictures of what my house looks like during the holiday season. Be warned: These pictures are not for the weak of heart. The pictures you’re about to see are of a serious crafter! Or as my husband always likes to say, a crazy crafter! Due to space, I did not include pictures of my kitchen or downstairs bathroom. And yes, I decorate my bathrooms too!!

Either way, I hope you enjoy “Holidays at the Rojas House.” Thanks for stopping by to see my house in all of its holiday glory. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. And stop by next week. I’ll be sharing a Christmas card and ornament and also a snowman pail to place your gifts in.

Until next time…

Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop

Yes, it’s another round of happy hopping with the Designer Craft Connection!

For this month’s hop, we have a surprise for everyone. Instead of you all getting just one round of fabulous ideas, you’ll be getting two!! Our first hop’s theme is Thanksgiving and our second hop that will take place on November 15^th with a manufacturers challenge from Flip Pal. If you don’t know what a Flip Pal is, you’ll have to stay tuned to see what great ideas our designers have created with this wonderful machine! If this is your first time to the hop, all you have to do is click on the Designer Craft Connection blinkie on the right hand side of my blog. It will take you to all of the designers that are participating in our blog hop. And of course Julie McGuffee, our fearless leader will host another terrific giveaway! She will be giving away a Sizzix Sidekick with 2 sets of Sizzlets Alphabet Dies. To enter to win you must identify the blogs on the hop where a die cut has been used in the designer’s project. Go to Julie’s blog at www.juliemcguffee.blogspot.com  to list your answers. This is a great giveaway, so don’t be left out! Good luck!!!

Thanksgiving is almost here and I would like to ask, “What are you thankful for?” I would love to hear from you, so please leave me a comment on my blog and share your thoughts and feelings.

For me, that question has a few answers to it. Being a person who has lived all of her adult life with a chronic illness, Crohn’s Disease, I am thankful to be alive each year. After 51 hospitalizations and 21 surgeries, I always wonder if I’ll see the next year, but blessings and thanks to God, I am still here.

I am also thankful for my family, my husband Rich, my two children, Richelle & Michael and my mom, because without them I would not be here. They bring me so much joy and happiness. I’m thankful for my extended family and all of my friends. I am blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people. I am thankful for my fur kids, Ruby Renee and Coca Cola. They fill my life with laughter with al of the goofy things they do, like wet-nosed doggy kisses. I am so thankful for a lot of other things too, but it would take me days to list them all.

One more thing that I’m thankful for is spending time eating, drinking and laughing with my family at Thanksgiving dinner. Since most people spend the Thanksgiving holiday with their families, what would be a better way of showing them how much you love them by creating a beautiful  table setting for your Thanksgiving dinner! How great would it be to have a handmade dinner plate, a name card gift basket, napkin rings and candle decorations are exactly what you are getting with this great project. When I first created this table setting those were the thoughts going through my head.

So, when you’re sitting around in your craft room creating this beautiful project for your next Thanksgiving holiday, make sure you stop long enough to give thanks for all of the wonderful blessings in  your life. And please say a prayer or two for all of our service men and women who are away from their families during this holiday season.

Until next time…

Happy Hopping,

Lisa

Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop- Suitcase

Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop

Woo Hoo! It’s another round of fabulous ideas with Eileen Hull’s Fresh Vintage Collection. Today we are showcasing the Suitcase die #657124 which you can find at  http://www.sizzix.com/product/657124/sizzix-scoreboards-xl-die-bag-suitcase. I have to say that out of all of Eileen’s dies, the Suitcase die is my absolute favorite. There is so many ideas that you can create with this die. When I first began working with this die, I decided I wanted to create a box that you could use as a note card holder for your desk. After I finished my project, I thought, “Wow! This would make a great desk set”. With that thought I went on to design the note holder and journal. And as I said before, with the holidays coming up so fast,
it would make a great gift for someone you love! Each project takes about an hour to an hour and a half to complete.

Don’t forget to click on the Sizzix blinkie that is on the right hand side of my blog. And if this is your first time at the hop and you haven’t seen the projects with Eileen’s other dies, be sure to stop by her website at www.eileenhull.blogspot.com. There you will find all of the project that the other designers have created for the last four weeks.

Designer Craft Connection Westcott Challenge

Sponsored by

It’s the first Monday of the month and if you have been following my blog, you’ll know that means another round of fabulous fun with the Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop. This month our generous sponsor is Westcott Brand® Cutting Tools. . VELCRO® Brand Fasteners and The Duck Brand® will also be supporting this blog hop by providing materials.

 For this challenge we had 33 professional designers that participated. Each of us received boxes of product from these wonderful companies and we were asked to come up with some great designs using the products found in our boxes. Now, let me start off by saying that I have worked with Westcott Brand® products for some time. I have the Westcott Brand® Titanium Bonded 12” Rotary Trimmer and their Titanium Bonded Non Stick Scissors, which I must say I think is the best paper cutter and scissors on the planet! Nothing sticks to those scissors!! So, I knew already that working with ANY Westcott Brand® product was going to be great, but my first thought with the other boxes was what the heck was I going to create with some duct tape and VELCRO fasteners. Well, was I super surprised when I opened the box and found all the great colors. I started to play with my new tools and my brain just exploded with all the things I can do with these products. Duct tape is not just for fixing up those leaky pipes anymore!

 As you hop around to all of our different sites and see for yourself all the great ideas we have come up with, be sure to stop by Westcott’s site at http://westcottbrand.blogspot.com/2011/10/designer-crafts-connection-charitable.html
 to enter Westcott’s Giveaway! ) The giveaway winner will receive a Deluxe Assortment of Westcott Cutting Tools. In order to be eligible to win, you must comment on the DCC Blog Hop Post on http://westcottbrand.blogspot.com/2011/10/designer-crafts-connection-charitable.html  prior to November 1^st. Westcott will announce the random giveaway winner on November 1^st. You don’t want to miss that! To hop around to the different designer websites, simply click on the blinkie on the right side of my blog called "Designer Craft Connection"

Please stop by our supporting manufacturers Facebook sites to see all the cool things that they are up to at http://www.facebook.com/velcrobrand & http://www.facebook.com/ducktape.

 

And now without further delay, here is the project design I came up with using VELCRO® Fasteners, Duct tape and of course I couldn’t create this project without the fabulous cutting tools by Westcott Brand®. I titled the project “Hearts & Crowns Stationery Set”. The wonderful stamps I used were sent to me by Stephanie Barnard from her “The Stamps of Life” line. Thank you so much Stephanie! These stamps are great and trust me you’re going to want a set of your very own. Check out all of Stephanie’s stamps at www.thestampsoflife.com. She has great stamps on her website and I want to purchase them all!!!

  I hope you enjoy my design and make some of your very own to share with friends and family. They make wonderful gifts and best of all they’re easy to create. Who knew all the great things you could create with some duct tape? Not me, that’s for sure!

Until next time…

Instructions

Cover box with pink duct tape sheet. Cut out. Adhere dark blue card stock to inside of the box with Zip Dry Paper Glue. Score along dotted lines, fold and adhere box edges with glue.  Use paper clips to hold in place until dry. 

Cut Zebra print duct tape into strips and adhere to all sides of the box top.  Cut a 10” strip of the Zebra print duct tape. Fold in half. Cut two slits in the box top and slide the duct tape into the slits creating a handle. 

Layer the glitter paper to the box front. On white card stock, stamp large crown in black ink. Next, stamp small heart, small crown and squiggly line randomly around large crown with Bubblegum, Sky and Grape inkpads.  

Color images with color pencils, using Gamsol Mineral Spirits to blend colors. Edge sides of paper with Guava inkpad. Adhere white card stock to glitter papers on front of box. Glue pink fibers around the box front. Adhere gems. 

Stamp heart wands on white card stock with black inkpad. Color with pencils and cut out. Apply 3-D foam tape to the backs and adhere to box front. Adhere gems to heart wands. 

For the cards- Cut card stock as follows- Blue 4 ¾””W x 7”H. Fold in half. Green 4 ½”W x 3 ¼”H and White 4”W x 2 ¾”H. Ink edges of blue card stock with Sky and green card stock with Artichoke inkpads. 

Stamp and color the white card stock as you did with the front of the box, alternating the colors on the small heart, crown & squiggly lines.  Ink edges with Guava inkpad. Adhere layers to blue card and add gem to the crown center. NOTE- For the envelope, I made my own with an envelope template but you can buy small envelopes in any office supply store. 

For the pen- Cover pen with Terrifically Tacky Tape, excluding the pen cover. Place blue micro beads on a paper plate and roll the pen in the beads until it is fully covered with beads. Add another stripe of tape to the bottom of the pen and cover with pink micro beads. Wrap fibers around the top of the pen. Cut of strip of the VELCRO® Hook and Loop Fasteners  3 ½” long. Make a loop and staple to the side of the box. Slide pen into the VELCRO® loop.
