Then I checked my Color Coach again for contrasting colors, what would I do without it?! But better question, how did I manage before I got it?! My two contrasting colors will be Elegant Eggplant and Bravo Burgandy. I randomly stamped my Elegant Eggplant and then adherred it to my Bravo Burgandy. My focal point was one of the Pocket Silhouettes stamped in Versamark on Very Vanilla and embossed with Copper Embossing Powder, I will layer that on a scrap of Rose Red.

Simple Birthday Card
This is now our background or our card. For the main part of the card, I cut a piece of Temping Turqouise cardstock and will adhere this piece as a layer.
When I made any card, because your cardstock is 8 1/2 x 11, I can get two cards. So I always try to make two cards. So my second card will be the pink version. Or rather Pretty in Pink on Certainly Celery for my main part of the card.

Christmas Name Frames
until I got my Big Shot Scallop die. Well I got it and I set to work creating this name frame. The photos hanging from the frame are attached using fishing line. Each photo is a picture of a member of our family at different times in our lives. The pictures of both sets of grandparents mean alot to me and I may have to make one for myself. I really think that Christmas is a special time and also a special time to remember our "Family."

Punchy Seasons Greetings!
This card is a simple variation of the "Shaker" card. At a recent stamp-a-stack, my upline, Kelly, taught us how to make this card. Isn't it cute?!
We used fake snow in the "shaker" part, it takes a bit more time to make this card, but its so worth it! Again the Top Note Die was used, BUT this time you cut it in half.

Snowman Chapstick Holders
These holders will be offered for sale at the local craft shop. Last year the chapstick holders were a big hit and I am hoping that they will be again this year! I realize that "Frosty" is a retired set, but he has been such a versatile stamp set that I still find myself reaching for him.
I also plan to make some Snowman Kisses holders, Snowman Soup Pouches and Reindeer Food Pouches. If you want to see the Chapstick Holders closer, just click on the photo. Hopefully I will have time to take some pictures of them and get them on here. If you would like the directions, send me an email! Thanks for stopping in!

Rub-Ons, Who would have thought?!
So last weekend I got into a painting mood and if you knew me, you would know that I absolutely hate to paint!! I put it off forever, BUT we are having friends over Labor Day weekend and the picnic table needed a coat of paint, and I really should paint the front steps too. So last Saturday, I started looking in the basement for some paint for the steps, the rust colored paint was dried up; thats okay because I found some hunter green paint, and the steps look pretty good. Then my mom gave me some gray paint for the picnic table, and that looks pretty good too. But then I am thinking about the little bit of green paint that I have left and I just know that the next time I paint (hopefully years from now) that paint will be dried up too!! But then I see this folding chair that I had just gotten from my mom and I am thinking.......thats just the right size to use up this paint! The chair was one that was my grandma's. Its a wooden folding chair and guess what color it was...........blaze orange!!
So after I got the chair painted and it was dry, I thought, you know those rub-ons I bought months ago............wouldn't that look pretty on the back of the chair. Last night I set out to see if I could get them on the chair, I had read the directions, read the reviews on Splitcoast, can't be too hard. And the best part, it wasn't!!
Isn't it great??!! I think my chair turned out just lovely!
I am just so happy with the results!! In the catolog it says that the Rub-ons are easy to apply and add visual interest to any card stock, patterned paper or stamped image. Well I have proof that they were easy to use and this chair is now a visual work of art!!
I am only sorry I didn't take a before picture; because the now picture is just so nice.
I want to explain this last picture, I wanted to set up the shot so that it would really show off my new chair!! So I set it next to my beautiful planter of Impatients and the also inherited watering can that I got from Grandma. Its just a pretty picture and I think Grandma is looking down and say, "Oh isn't that lovely!"
So checkout the Rub-Ons in the Stampin' Up catolog, there are 2 pages of different designs and they are all reasonably priced. Just turn to page 178 and page 179. You get 2 sheets of 5 7/8" x 12" rub-ons, one sheet in either Basic Black and one sheet in Whisper White or one sheet in Chocolate Chip and one sheet in Whisper White. Thats right 2 sheets in each package. There are Christmas, Halloween, Flowers, School Days, and so many more to choose from. Tell me what you think of my chair, I'd love to hear from you!
