StampnPlus Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop!

Welcome to StampNPlus Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!!

If Bonnie  sent you over for a visit then you are exactly where you are meant to be. If you just happen to be visiting then you should head over to StampNplus  for the beginning of this fabulous hop!

I first would like to tell you all a little about myself. I am the Admin for StampNPlus Team . I started on this Team a little over two Months ago. I wanted to help our Lovely Design Team Leader (LuAnn Hale) to make positive changes to her Store and her Blog! Her store is still a work in progress so please be patient with it!

If you have never used StampNPlus stamps you are so missing out! Her stamps are Great Quality and when you put the Ink on them they never smear and the images are always crystal clear!

The StampNPlus Team are so talanted and all have unique styles!

So on saying that here is my Card that I have made using the Stamp Of The Month!

(Marine Life F1273)

A close up of the Cute frog!

Ingrediants:

StampNPlus: Stamp Of the Month (F1273)

DCWV PAPER: Spring Fling and Summer Days 12x12 Mat Stack

Marth Stewart Ink: Black and Turquoise

Stazon Ink: Timberland Brown

Color Pencils: ColourPro Collection

Sentiment: Micheals Dollor Bin Deal

I started off with a regular Green 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 card base. Then I took my DCWV paper and cut my scrap too 5 x 4 and place it on the Green Card base. Then I cut a plain White scrap paper and cut that to a 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 and added that on top of the DCWV paper.

I inked the StampNPlus featured stamp of the month  with Stazon ink. I took my sentiment stamp coated the top part of the words with Martha Stewart Turquoise Ink and the Bottom with the Martha Stewart Black ink and gave it a two tone effect to it. I then used the Color Pencils and colored the frog and the branch!

Then last but not least  I inked and rounded the corner of the card to make it look more professional.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

So Now onto my story and project that I have made for this Special Friend of mine.

So my story starts off back in Dec 26th 2011. My Son Ethan who is one year POST LIVER TRANSPLANT.. was put on the ventilator. His little body couldn't breathe due to the fact that he had two huge Virus's and those Virus's attacked his Kidneys and Lungs. So Dec 26th my son and I were Life flighted from Akron Children's to Cincinnati Children. I do not have any family there. So they took Ethan and put him in the PICCU and all I could do was watch in shock.. that night I got a call from the front desk asking me to come down stairs a lady was waiting for me... Now mind You Sue-Ann ( Suzy's Crafts) and I only knew each other from being on a Design Team... but other than that  we had  never met each other.
So I went downstairs and sure enough there she was with a huge bag and more importantly a huge HUG! I just cried.. I was happy that I wasn't there by myself. I took her to Ethan's room and there she looked at me with fear in her eyes.. and she had some tears coming down her cheeks and I told her aw don't cry. She just looked at me and told me NO MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS BY THEMSELVES.. Sue-Ann has been there for me ever since. Her family jokes and says yeah we thought mom was out of her  mind when she was going to the hospital to meet a young women who she has never met! Now I am part of her family. I have never met such wonderful people who open there home up to a stranger. Sue-Ann came and Visited Ethan and I at the hospital a lot! She helped me by giving me clothes, food and even money. We have gotten so close.. now we are inseparable!
Ethan is doing quite well and we will be heading back to Cincinnati Ohio on August 2 for his surgery on his tonsils and adenoids and a biopsy of his lymph nodes.
I am so blessed that God sent an angel to me during that hard time. I wouldn't know what I would have done if i have never had met Sue-Ann and her Beautiful Family!

So here is my project that I have made for her...

It's a Magnet Board!

These are the magnets that I made!

Thanks for stopping by.. I have a HUGE favor to ask of you! One of these Special Ladies will be receiving a prize from me.. After you Hop and if you leave a comment telling me who you think should Win you can get ONE more chance at the Giveaways.. Please tell me how I can contact you to let you know your a WINNER!

Cork Board Gift!

Hey there, I hope you all had a great day! I wanted to share with you all a project that my daughter and I made together. It is a Cork Board gift for her teacher! If you like SIMPLE,CHEAP,and ADORABLE here you go!!!

This is the perfect gift for anyone!

These are the Ingredients for this project:

 

~ Art Norvou and Art Philosphy, Flower Shoppe, Wild Card Cricut Cartridge

~Cork Board

~Clear Push Pins

~Purse Handle ( You can purchase on in any craft store for a dollar)

~Craft Beads (Designer Jewelry Beads

~Stickles

~Embellishments

~Ink (to ink your paper)

This is the Handle I made.

*Note- If you only use a few like here, take a Hot glue gun and glue between each bead! That keeps them from moving.

I took Sei "Couture" Paper and measured the sides of the cork board and put the paper and Decoupage on it.Then I Ink the sides.

Butterflies and Dragonflies are measured at 1 3/4" Each (Using a Cricut Expression

Flowers are measures at 3.5" (Using a Cricut Expression)

*Note~ When you finish making your insects gently fold the sides so they look like they are flying and then place hot glue on the push pin and place your insect on it.

Here is a closer look.. See the dragonfly??? I added stickles and Liquid pearls for the middle

This is the back I created it by making an envelope and I had my daughter write a letter to her teacher and the mounted a school picture.

Hope you like this Idea..How did I come up with it you ask?? I walked Hobby Lobby for a while and this came to me. This is EASY, FUN, and BEST OF ALL CHEAP!!

Thanks for stopping by.. Please come back tomorrow to see what other Gift Set I had made... Have a Happy Crafting Day!
