A Musical Medley

130


I am not sure if the week is going by too fast, or if I am completely unable to keep track of it all. Sometimes it is nice to look at my calendar and see blank spaces. This week, that is not the case.

Because of that I was not able to play as much as I like. However, some events this week were truly worth it. On Tuesday night, me and my daughter went to see Mr. Ithzak Perlman play with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. What an evening that was. To say he is a virtuoso is the understatement of the year. He is genius, marvelous, fantastic, inspiring, and the greatest of our time. Of course I got y own share of inspiration. as I prepared a card for the Dostamper Stars challenge 130, I went back to my retired stash of Modern Medley and found just the right piece of paper I need for this project. The look is simple yet elegant. Flowering Flourishes as a partial background allows for the colors to be kept to a minimal. The Banners framelits set the tempo for this piece, and in all this is my masterpiece for today.

A Meadow Birthday

CCMC352

Hello lovely people. I took the weekend off to get some other stuff done and also because I did not have any time left to myself. Sunday I was able to catch a break, enjoy a bit of sunshine weather and play.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, ccmc352, serene silhouettes, painted blossoms cotton twine, morning meadow, scenery, masculine card, birthday card, su


I live close to a nature preserve that is mostly wet lands and during the summer is beautiful and lush. The water there is now flowing and we can spot some life happening there. I just do not enjoy having the ducks came visit the pool... oh well. Anyway, I am always short on masculine cards, so in honor of the wet lands I decided on a masculine birthday card that feature a scenery. I recently did one card similar but used the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. This one I reached for the Serene Silhouette stamp set, while the sentiment is from Morning Meadow.  The color combo from the Create with Connie and Mary challenge 352 were perfect and gave me the initial inspiration for a scenery card. I honestly am having fun making scenery card and can see myself doing many more in the near future. Have you ever done any? It is fun and you must try. Got ahead, you will get hooked too.

Line? Which line?

I am the kind of stamper that keeps the images from a stamp true to itself. I change colors, use heat embossing, texture embossing, but hardly ever I modify the image by adding anything to it. Today, however the Splitcoast Stampers Challenge TLC 530 made me jump out of my box.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, tlc, splitcoast stamper, birthday card, flashback dsp, crazy about you, perpetual birthday calendar, label love, square punch, su

And the best part: I loved it. It was a fun experiment for me and I thought the result was great. So great I made a book mark and a gift card holder with the same images from the Crazy About you stamp set. To give this special effect on the image I simply used my Basic Black marker and add the lines. Nothing to it and lots of fun. I chose to keep the images from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar as is and the sentiment from Label Love gave just the perfect balance for this sketch. I am sad to see the Label Love retiring, but this one is a keeper and I will continue to use it for a long time to come. Grab yours before it is gone forever.
Hope you have enjoyed today's project. Please come back again soon. Take care

Hi mom!


We knew these beautiful colors were going to wave good bye, but it is hard to see them go as they are such a pretty bunch. I have stocked up and plan on continue to use them for some time.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, mstampinwihtyou, stampin up, demonstrator, dsc, mother's day card, confetti celebration dsp, delightful dozen, I like you stamp set, texture boutique machine, spring flowers TIEF, extra large oval punch, decorative label punch, su

Every year when the Retiring list comes out, I revisit some old favorites. This time I picked up the Delightful Dozen for the sentiment and the Scalloped Dotted Border punch. Those are favorites of mine and I am having a hard time parting with them. Another one taking leave is the I Like You hostess set, but look at that potential! For a bit of texture, how about the lovely Spring Flowers TIEF? A mother deserves all that and much more. So, share some love, get some of these lovely products and share them with your mom; create beautiful projects and memories too!

This color combo is so great and for you to get even more inspiration, visit these other fine Stars:

Swirly swirls.



Well, our weather took a turn to the worst and it got very cold again. I know it will soon be all good, and I can hardly wait.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, rs, birthday card, birthday bash dsp, balloon bash stamp set, big shot, floral frames, su

While I patiently wait for the weather to improve, I took inventory of my items that are retiring, and have also played a bit. Birthdays are still going strong and today is my brother's birthday. He lives in Japan and lat time I saw him was 2001 or so.Time goes by without us noticing. For today's card I used the Balloon Bash stamp set, along with Birthday Bash DSP and the Floral Frames Collections framelits, which I am sad to see it go. The Retrosketches challenge 161 came to the rescue and with that I kept my card clean and simple.
Thank you for visiting today. Come again soon.

A busy weekend that was. I have worked my garden and even put some seeds in the ground. Now I know it will be a busy time tending for the plants, and I enjoy every bit of it.

The beautiful time of the year is just a bit more enhanced by beautiful Painted Petals DSP and stamp set.  The sketch from the Pals Paper Arts Challenge 248  is simple and the simplest sometimes can be the most difficult to work with, but I pulled it off after seeing some beautiful pansies blooming in my garden. A bit of natural intervention goes a long way!
Have a beautiful week. Thanks for visiting today, and please come back again soon.

Soothing scenery.

I know, I just got very quiet for the past couple of days, but trust me quiet I was not. I held my monthly club on Friday, and this week the weather has been so fantastically beautiful that I took the chance to do some work outside. Then, of course with club preparations and everything else, the time slipped by and I did not keep up. But I am back.

I have been intimidated by the idea of making a scenery card for the longest time. Well, it is time to fight it off and do it; and you know what? I love it. I think I will repeat it soon. It is much easier that t appears and I will put a tutorial together for you, just stay tuned. The trees on this card is from the Lovely as a Tree which is indeed lovely for this scenery. This is a whole sheet size - A9 - card, as I made it for my husband and several people were signing it. I hope you will also try something different soon and please do come back for the tutorial.

Bright celebration.


I have to say, that lately my weather looks just like this perfect picture and I love every minute of it.

I enjoyed a long walk with a great friend last night and it felt so wonderful to walk outside feel some fresh air, hear street noises, and all. I sure can use more of that. Let's keep this good weather going, shall we? Well, the inspiration picture from Dostamper Stars challenge 128 is the picture perfect day and that's what birthdays are all about, right? Yes it is! Look at those beautiful candles from the Balloon Blast stamp set, and the happy colors; no one will have a sad day with such a celebration!

The tulips are coming!



And we are beyond happy to see them bloom again. It is beautiful seeing flashes of colors popping up all over the gardens: yellows, purples, reds, oranges, and whites. I love them all.

Spring is so beautiful. I take such a refreshed appreciation to the flowers, the buds on the trees, the singing of the birds, and the warm weather. Of course, I have to honor the fresh flowers somehow. I used the Retrosketch Challenge 160 as my canvas and I employed the retired Blessed Easter stamp to honor my tulips. since we are retiring the winter, I honored that too and used almost all retired products. Viva Spring!

May Flowers? Well, make it April.


 

After Thursday's torrential rains, and a gloomy Friday, the skies opened up and we had am absolutely gorgeous weekend. Saturday was a beautiful sunny day, and Sunday was not to a disappointment either, just a bit more breeze.

And with the good weather yesterday, we were all able to enjoy a wonderful birthday party of a wonderful little girl. The weather was perfect, the children played and played outside, while the adults had the chance to chat, mingle, and enjoy the fresh air too. The card you see today I prepare for the birthday girl, using both The Paper Players challenge 240 and the Sweetest Sunday Sketch challenge 264.  I wanted a more modern sentiment, and the Birthday Bash was called to the job along with the Labels Collection framelits. She loved it, and so did we. Did you notice that speckled background? Well it is called Gorgeous Grunge and I truly love this set!

Ok, I was kidding...

Well, I am not sure if Mother Nature felt better, or simply got all too mad at me. We had a extremely rainy day yesterday, with torrential day for good part of the day. After a calm afternoon, we got an active evening with tornado warnings and all. Very active for a cool temperature.

The day was so gloomy that the children did school in the basement rather than our regular school room which is our sun room. I was able to do some clean up in my craft area, creating space for supplies ordered from the FREE shipping and also getting ready for the new catalog coming in May. Then, I had time to craft a bit too. I made this card with a retirement in mind. Think about it, retiring, having time for all sorts of things, including riding your bike to the library or ice cream shop, or both! Sheltering Tree stamp set was perfect for a relaxed life style. The DSP used is the now retired Etcetera,  but I love the colors of it. The sketch is from the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch challenge 535 and for the "park" background I used the Apothecary Accent Framelit. Now, weather permitting, I may go for a ride soon.

Tip:
While I normally teach for people to stamp first cut last, when using the Photopolymer stamps I do not mind stamping last because you can perfectly well see where the image is going to be stamped.
