There are lots of excellently executed cards on <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/">www.splitcoaststampers.com</a>. MFT stamps (<a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/">www.mftstamps.com</a>) has become my go to site for purchases and ideas. The design team at MFT is awesome, they are some really talented ladies. Lots of instruction available of each team members site. So many good ideas. I love that many of the design team decorate the inside of their cards, I think this makes them even more special. <br />
<br />
MFT supplied this sketch to use for the contest:<br />

This is the card I made for the contest. It would be a great honor to be chosen. There are lots of great entries submitted to Splitcoast. I have enjoyed looking at all of them.<br />
I used the Instaframe frame Die-namic as well stamps sets from MFT.<br />

Stamps. They just introduced a new die called Blueprints 1, since it is numbered I am sure this means more are to come. Along with the die are 4 sketches showing you how to use the die so you can make different card layouts. I like the idea of the design work being already done. <br />
<br />
Since I don't own the die yet,(on order) I fooled around with my Cricut machine and cut the scallop piece with my Elegant edges cartridge. It worked very nicely as you can see by the card below. I used Authentique Free Bird papers, ribbon is from Stampin Up, feel better stamp is from Papertrey, large verse is from MFT stamps. Corner punch by EK Success. Small tag is from MFT stamps. <br />

She totally inpsired this card so I will definitely call it a scraplift and give her all the credit. Papers are from Teresa Collins. Embossing folder is from Cuttlebug. Stamp is from Michael's dollar bin, purchased quite awhile ago.<br />

But hopefully that is changing. I have been looking at blogs trying to get the creativity flowing. As always I am inspired by Keisha Campbell at A Bit East. Her style is so simply elegant. My favorite things stamps has a wonderful blog and a great design team. Through them I finally learned how to use some of the dies I purchased more effectively. I hope to have a post later today.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-18662735917449849122012-10-10T09:43:00.001-04:002012-10-10T09:43:42.507-04:00The winner of my blog prize is....,The winner of my blog prize is Papercrafting Princess. <br />I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to write a comment.

<strong>BLOG HOP INTRO: </strong><br />
Welcome to SOC's 8th Anniversary Blog Hop! I'm glad you stopped by for the celebration! If you're dropping by from Cheryl's blog,(onecraftyncpeach.blogspot.com) then you're in the right place! However, if you started here, you can visit the SOC E:spire blog to join this party from the beginning!<br />
<br />
To commemorate Scraps of Color's 8th birthday, I, along with some talented papercrafters, have teamed up to share projects based on the celebrations in our lives. We wanted to have this special blog hop to celebrate this great crafting community where we laugh, play, and create together and encourage and inspire one another. Of course, a blog hop isn't complete without blog candy! There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop! Plus there will be a SOC blog hop gift awaiting one visitor!! To be eligible for that prize, you must comment on all the blogs by Monday, Oct. 8 at 11pm EST. From all who are eligible, one lucky reader will be randomly drawn. The winner will be posted on all the participating blogs on Wednesday Oct.10.<br />

The theme of the blog hop is celebration. Scraps of Color started 8 years ago. The group has grown tremendously under the guidance of Tiare, the founder. She is obviously computer savvy, scrapbook savvy and has a great desire to keep the group active.<em> </em>There are many activities in which to participate, swaps, card challenges and even a book group. I have enjoyed being a member of Scraps of Color. There are many kind and talented members. Everyone is helpful and of course we all enable each other with tips on purchasing supplies. Please enjoy the blog hop and the creations you will get to view. One of my creations is this card. I used Teresa Collins(love her lines) papers. Layering embellishments is very popular technique right now. I love doilies as you will see with my next post, they make a nice addition to your creation.Martha Stewart's butterfly punch, I love it! Has a permanent place on my craft table. Enjoy this card!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-9976432043409667012012-10-03T15:50:00.001-04:002012-10-03T15:50:12.606-04:00Altered art I made this for a swap with a friend in Texas.

I am participating in my first blog hop, starting 10/5/2012. The blog hop is in recognition of the 8 year anniversary of Scraps of Color. I will also be offering a prize, for those who leave comments on my blog during the blog hop. More details to come as it gets closer. I am also teaching a Christmas card class on Thursday at Scrappin Time, my local scrapbook store. Since I am addicted to Authentique, the cards are made with their " Festive" Christmas line. I will post them after the class.<br />

I just received notice from <a href="http://www.memascrafts.blogspot.com/">www.memascrafts.blogspot.com</a> that the card that I entered into the just words challenge was randomly selected as a winner.

These are some cards I made using the Hero Arts Wildflower Garden stamp set. Hero Arts is one of my all time favorite companies. I love their stamps, they seem timeless or it is that everything old becomes new again.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-31187682569244555962012-06-20T18:11:00.001-04:002012-06-20T18:11:35.643-04:00Lively Scrapbbok Layout<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a layout I did today with Lively by Authentique. These photos were taken several years ago but since I had a pink shirt on and it coordinated with the paper I decided to use them. I normally print my photos in black and white but I had these left over from before I converted to black and white. This layout will be on display at Scrappin' Time. I scraplifted this from the current issue of Scrapbooks, etc. I changed it up a bit. Its funny, the magazine says you can complete this layout in 20 minutes, 2 hours later I am finished. My scrapbooking has always taken a back seat to card making but I am trying to expand my horizons.<br />

Can you tell I love Authentique Papers??? These are some cards from the Lively line. I gave a sneek peek in an earlier post.<em> </em>The woodgrain stamp is from Kaisesr craft, of course the butterfly is Martha Stewart, leaf die is from Sizzix. The green patterned paper "backdrop" is also by Authentique. Stamps are by Tim Holtz.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-20639720066292198062012-06-16T10:04:00.000-04:002012-06-16T10:04:00.387-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am currently on the design team at Scrappin' Time in Inman, SC. Kathy the ever so cheerful store manager has given me the task of making a display board with the a new line of Authentique Paper. I am a huge fan of Authentique, hopefully I can come up some great cards. Here is a picture of the new line.Do not think it is availabe in stores yet.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-48861875848884801712012-06-12T20:02:00.000-04:002012-06-12T20:41:26.925-04:00Finally an update....I have woefully neglected my blog.... have had no desire to stamp or scrap. My hobby room has had few visits over the last few months. Life has really gotten in the way of my hobby. I finally realized I needed my craft. I had a stressful few days at work and on a day off I ventured into my hobby room and created a few cards. I felt so relaxed and my mind was freed. The stress was lifted, I was once again able to enjoy the hobby I so dearly love.
I made several cards featuring the Glory line from Authentique Paper. I love their papers and stickers. On the Authentique blog they had several samples so I started my cards based on the samples. I made a total of seven cards, three of them very similar to the cards posted on the blog and 4 of my own designs. This time of year, red, white, blue, stars and stripes are so appropriate. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xh43_DQozgw/T9fVeSOH9nI/AAAAAAAAASY/jJo7a002Zdw/s1600/iphone%2B612%2B024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="200" width="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xh43_DQozgw/T9fVeSOH9nI/AAAAAAAAASY/jJo7a002Zdw/s200/iphone%2B612%2B024.JPG" /></a>

He "surprised" me with a trip to Lisbon. It was not really a surprise, because he forgot and left his email open while we were both looking at his iPad, I pretended I did not see anything. The hotel reservation was there for me to read, could not look away. Anyway this is a photo of us at the Castle St. George high above the city. It was a fun trip with lots of good food, rest and relaxation.<br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/117905898100476350738/BloggerPictures#5699839004119786226'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDkMOXc7VsfbmCWUB7Ma0-HyAfGt8sbNCvRMiJmrmJvbhOCSAak60Xs6DddaCYwj0hvXTvYOp7AvphwYD-YTPN82XvErXDnSYhinarjmzf4xU1Zr1uFcV23EXf39UGmNgp8Dykr6L8L8bG/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-14504781417969983842012-01-20T16:56:00.001-05:002012-01-20T16:56:43.630-05:00A New YearOnce again the New Year has arrived and all the resolutions have come and gone along with all the celebrations, visits from family and time off from work. Life has been busy with work and family with little time for stamping and scrapbooking. Somehow I did find time to make a project today that was initially created by Keisha Campbell. Her blog is called A Bit East. She is an awesome cardmaker, scrapbooker, home decorator, and photographer. I love her style and I borrowed a little(really a lot) when I created my version.
I have a cousin, who is fighting breast cancer, so far she is winning her battle. She has shown incredible courage and grace throughout her illness. I decided to make this project for her to let her know I am thinking of her and wishing her continued strength on her journey to defeat cancer. <br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/117905898100476350738/BloggerPictures#5699836500159165602'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPqXpq-a6YExAmfZPmyiPcLRKIiSV4vOPhQ7vVpIBElse7keFL4-nYik_vz9uDFNJyT3xHHSFJs2MxW2VvG_7fPGhOefO1LdGcjuLD-vTTCIHJsMvBM-Mpsm6Uvny651QF9t06q5v3YalI/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-69363618282531860182011-06-24T15:20:00.001-04:002011-06-24T15:21:48.468-04:00Uploading photos from iPadTest post<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/117905898100476350738/BloggerPictures?locked=true#5621868258579038706'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu4r1g-JRAAxjvoIuaGA8ebhMK9lnHbwdp4PafMVEW8DXpCeR8yP6sEbe4GzZ7R-P-VBBBooVgOCI1lEqd39OFAl14Oh9gd-qrHvgmcSyKxZwJk-8LDPUoryBbNFNg_mNC3RXNxKe_bOAq/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='269' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><br />Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-82240368886637616402011-06-21T11:25:00.004-04:002011-06-21T12:08:59.758-04:00I have been bitten by the COUPON CRAZE!!I have been wanting to take a coupon class offered by Southern Savers for awhile and I am finally registered to go next week. I am too excited about learning how to save money on groceries. Clipped coupons last night, I saved the Sunday papers from the last 2 weeks and coupons in hand I went to Publix to buy what I had coupons for, just a few things, not a large order at all, My total before buy one get one and coupons was 20.34 and I paid 5.19. It was an awesome feeling. I am not trying to get a thousand dollars worth of stuff for $8, like the women on the shows, I just want to save 10 to 20 a week and it looks like I can be well on the way. <br /><br />I know I will learn more tips and tricks next week but wanted to give it a try. I also went to CVS this morning, used coupons and got extracare bucks, more awesomeness. I bought Colgate toothpaste which was on sale for 2.79, bought 2 tubes, had a dollar off coupon for each one, then got 4.00 dollars in extra bucks,then another for 5 off 10, and yet another for 3 off 15. I also purchased Bliss chocolates for 5.99 and got extrabucks for 5.99. So for the 9.78 I spent I received 18.00 in extrabucks. Excited.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17503153009659937360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903545608216818.post-72048385874537306782011-06-11T09:04:00.003-04:002011-06-11T17:54:13.204-04:00Black, Cream and Kraft with a touch of Red<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wCVV8o6-8Bg/TfNoe-x1DnI/AAAAAAAAAOo/VykINsMi-TI/s1600/Enjoy%2B046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wCVV8o6-8Bg/TfNoe-x1DnI/AAAAAAAAAOo/VykINsMi-TI/s200/Enjoy%2B046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616948041718500978" /></a><br />I made some cards with my current favorite color combination.
