family

Hi!

Family from Canada are making their way here for the summer so I just wanted to announce that my blog will be a little neglected here and there....but for inspiration make sure to visit the Jane's Doodles blog! :)

Also on a more personal note...my uncle died (my dad's brother)....he was the last of that generation to go. I lost my father to cancer when I was 21. Needless to say I'm heartbroken and many painful memories of my father's passing have come to my mind with losing my uncle.

Here's a photo of me, my uncle and my cousin on my birthday...we come from a long line of dancing people!...Doesn't he look like Elvis Presley!! When I was little I found Elvis records at their house and thought...my uncle IS Elvis!

I'm grateful I got to see you one more time. I will miss you!! xo

just for you

Hi!

Here's a card I created using my Doodle Flowers stamp set and also our Patterns for Him stamp set.

I stamped polka dots all over the blue cardstock, the chevron onto the green cardstock. Coloured the flower with markers...pretty simple! :)

Check out this gorgeous card Laura created!! For more details pop on over to her blog! :)

Have a great day!

Hi!

I've got some June birthdays coming up so I decided to dress up a simple kraft box (I got this box at NB Hobby&Art).

I stamped the box (and the blue paper and leaf) with the polka dots from my Doodle Flowers and our Patterns for Him. For the flower I just hand cut several flowers, 'roughed' them up a bit..showed them whos boss....and added a big button to the center. I used the tree stamp I carved out of an eraser (go here to check that out) to create my woodgrain pattern on the kraft cardstock.

Have a great day!

School is OUT ya'll!!!! :)

ahhh...no more homework!

So what do we do......make pizza! :)

I always make my own pizza dough...not an expert...it's nothing fancy..but it works for me!

1kg flour

about a table spoon of salt (I don't really measure it)

1 packet of dry yeast (I use the Dr. Oetker 7g packets) 

2 cups of warm water (I use my coffee mug to measure)

a splash of milk :)

Add more water if too dry or more flour if too wet.

After taking all your frustrations out on the poor dough let it chill for a bit before giving it a few more shots! :)

This make 3 pizzas. I freeze them...comes in handy on days when you just don't feel like cooking or are short with time...my family loves pizza. My favourite is pizza with tuna (tomatoes, onions and olives).

I made some tags last night (handed out some little gifts for my kids teachers). I used my new Doodle Flowers stamp set. These were so easy to make...and fast!

I bought plain, solid coloured paper bags (cute and cheap) and added the tag with some bakers twine.

My Mr. Owl from my you're a hoot! stamp set makes a perfect tag for a guy! :)

And here they are all in a row! :)

I'll be announcing the winners of our stamp release blog hop giveaways....go here for the details!

Have a great weekend!

Jane's Doodles Stamp Release blog hop!

Hi!

I'm so EXCITED to finally share our newest Jane's Doodles stamps! We've made some changes (that's why we're running a little late)...we changed manufacturers, our stamps are still made in the USA out of the hightest quality of photopolymer clear stamps.

So we've got 4 new sets!! For my first card I used It's a Guy Thing designed by Mariana...I just LOVE this set! The inspiration for this card came from Maile's card here. And since EURO 2012 has started and my husband is GLUED to the TV and growls like a dog if anyone attempts to take the remote...  (he plays soccer, LOVES soccer, watches soccer.....must I go on) I thought this would be the perfect card for him! :)

The senitiment is from our awesome Just Dad stamp set that Judith designed!

Which brings me to my next project....I took just about every sentiment from our Just Dad stamp set and stamped over the front of a kraft paper bag. I stamped the I heart Dad sentiment onto a tag and added glitter to the heart...threw in some chocolates and tied it up with some twine...I think it turned out pretty cool! :)

Mariana also designed an AWESOME background stamp set called Patterns for Him....LOVE!!!...you all know how much I LOOOVE background stamps!! I created this layout for a workshop I'll be doing tomorrow at NB Hobby&Art...I used the chevron pattern on the blue paper...see the polka dots (on the sun and the yellow banners on the top right)...that's from my set Doodle Flowers.

And I'm sure ya'll recognize the owl from my you're a hoot! stamp set! :) I also used some SRM stickers, die cuts and one of my handmade buttons.

And for my last project I used my Doodle Flowers stamp set (that I designed...you all know that I hand draw my sets)...I have to say....I'm just loving this set too!! :)

Doesn't this card make you happy! :)

The sentiment is from my Little Miss Mia stamp set.

At the beginning I mentioned changes...well another change is a new addition to the Jane's Doodles DT.....the crazy TALENTED Laura Bassen has joined us!!!!!!

I have a KICK BUTT DT!! I'm so grateful for them!! :)
