Queen Kat
Today's challenge at the Castle was to create anything as long as we used an "older" Kat Stamp. Well, that's definitely easy to do with so many amazing stamps to choose from. I love the Child's Play stamp set and I wanted to create something different with them, so I created this notebook. It was a Christmas leftover, so I covered the front and back with cardstock, stamped my images several times on cardstock, then arranged them on the front cover. Hope you like it!!
Check out today's hop. Here's the full list.

Monday Monday
Hi everyone. It's another Monday here at the castle and this is my last project for Queen Kat as my term has now come to an end. It has been a fun ride and I have had so much fun working with these stamps. Thanks for the opportunity to work with your stamps Vicki, they truly are wonderful.
I hope you got here from Wynneth's blog. If not, just start at the top of the list HEREand see everyone's creations.
This week we were challenged to make a banner from any of Queen Kat stamps. And boy did I have fun with this one!! A friend had her baby shower a couple of weeks ago and I was in charge of making the banner. I used the hearts from Queen Kat's Ride with Me stamp set along the top of the banner. I then used Queen Kat's Doodles 2 stamps on the points of the banner. I then put some bling on them for some added sparkle.
I cut the banner from the Cricut Sports Mania cartridge and added toppers I cut with an EKSuccess punch. All my elements (the babies, the carriages, the bears, the safety pins, etc.) were cut from the Cricut, A Child's Year cartridge and Doodlecharms cartridge. Everything was inked then bling was added for a little sparkle. The lettering was cut from some amazing bling paper from the Cricut, A Child's Year cartridge also. Oh, and I made it double sided because you never know where it will hang!
Now head on over to Kimme's blog and see what she has created this week.
Enjoy. Don't forget about the sale that is ending shortly - it's amazing and a perfect time to pick up those stamps you really want.

Today's card was based on this inspiration
Here's my take on it:
Well, I do love the colors and the stripes, but I wanted something a little more subtle. I chose some striped Imaginesce pattern paper and my Alice along with some new Nestabilities. Love it..

I am now Copic Certified
Woohoo!!!!!!
I took an amazing Copic Certification class today with Sally Lynn Macdonald. What an amazing woman! The class was fun and very informative and we learned so many techniques that are sure to improve my coloring skills. I can't wait to pull out my stamps later tonite and play.
If you get a chance, I'd recommend you attend one of her classes.

Ranger University
I had the priviledge of being chosen to attend Ranger University this past weekend where 24 of us learned tips and tricks from Tim Holtz, Claudine Helmuth and Suze Weinberg. I had an amazing time and learned so much about the products I truly love to use. It was amazing and now I am a graduate of Ranger U.
This rose frame is one of the projects we created with Tim's new Sizzix Alterations flower dies, Grungeboard, Perfect Medium and Stickles.
Enjoy.
