New Stamps

Here are some projects I made using the newest stamps from Cindy at StampingScrapping.com!  I love how versatile these stamps are and that they coordinate with my Nestabilities so perfectly!

Copic Certification and Storage

I am SO EXCITED to be attend a Copic Certification Class tomorrow with Marianne Walker herself!  I can hardly wait!  I signed up as soon as applications went out WAY BACK in the middle of August and have been wait not so patiently for tomorrow to arrive!

I have been slowly growing my collection of markers and needed a better way to store them.  I wanted to be able to group them not only by color families but also by certain color combos that I love.  I also wanted to be able to take them with me when I work so I needed something functional yet portable.  After trying many different options I asked my hubby to custom make me a storage case.  He used scrap lumber so it isn't the exact proportions that I was hoping for but I LOVE IT!  It is really working out quite nicely.  It is a little heavy but that is good for me - harder to accidentally knock it onto the floor!  I got the idea for this storage solution from Theresa Momber's blog Crafting the Web. Thank you Theresa it is PERFECT!

We painted it a neutral light brown color (my husband says the color reminds him of a Wendy's Frosty).  Then I broke out my Gypsy and my Vinyl and decorated it up.  I didn't have all the colors of vinyl to do exactly what I wanted but the great thing about vinyl is that I can redo it at any time - so this is perfect for now.

This first picture is of the storage case open and showing the top where I labeled it with my name.

This next picture shows how I decorated the back of the case.

This final picture show 1 side (both sides are decorated the same) and how the front closes for transporting.

New Stamp Sets

Cindy at StampingScrapping is releasing 4 more NEW STAMP SETS!  I have a sneak peak for you!  The sets are DRINK MINIS, FANCY ACCENTS, TAGS ACCENTS, LABELS ACCENTS. I will have samples to show you in the next couple of weeks, but they are available for pre-order HERE right now!

The Drink Minis coordinates with her current drink sets, the Fancy Accents coordinates with the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Dies, the Tags Accents coordinates with Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trios 2 Dies and the Labels Accents coordinates with Spellbinders Labels 2, Labels 4 and Labels 8 Dies.

Staying Healthy

My youngest has had H1N1 for the last week so I have been home taking care of her.  After a full 7 days she is finally better and will be headed back to school tomorrow.  In order to help keep her from getting sick again we put together a little care basket for her to keep on her desk (tissues, hand sanitizer and some lotion for her dry hands).

I used Gypsy Wanderings and Mickey Font Cricut Cartridges and used my Gypsy to design and cut everything out using vinyl.  She is so excited to take it to school and put it on her desk.  The first picture has a some green paper it the clear tub so you can see the vinyl better.  The second picture shows the tub with everything in it.

Catching Up

Wow I am behind on my blogging!  Here is a quick project I did for the launch of
 Cindy's Breast Cancer Awareness Scent  "SCENTS FOR A CURE".

I used the new Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge to make this take, some scrap paper and ribbon from my bin, 
"Love Matters" Stampin' Up set and Copic Spica Pens.
