"OSAT Blog Hop - Tic Tac Toe"

Well it's time for the April OSAT Hop! Can you believe it? I know for me time has gotten away on me. I've had a terrible Fibromyalgia flare up, a flooded office/stamp room, my husband, Frank had a cousin pass away and I had a cousin and an aunt pass away all in the last couple of weeks. It's been a bit overwhelming to say the least, but I am so glad to be back in my office and creating. The weather is looking better too as we've had snow still. That becomes such an ugly word in April. Well let's get rid of the ugly and show some pretty. I used one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions catalog. It's called Birthday Blooms.

Can you pick out the Tic Tac Toe items I used on this card? The items are LACE, GLITTER PEN,

RIBBON.

Hopefully you can see the Wink of Stella in this close up pic. It's so hard to capture in a photo, but in person Wink of Stella is beautiful and really adds to a project because it is so shiny and glittery. I stamped the big bloom twice and cut one out to layer on top with Stampin'Up! dimensionals to give it whatelse? Dimension of course. I used Stampin'Write markers to color in the image.

Here is my 3D project. I decided on a frame since I have so many that I've purchased and somehow I

never seem to use them up. I love frames and I love the saying I used on this one. The saying if from

the set Hello Life. I've embossed it in black on the Birthday Bouquet DSP. The image was fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals as well. Can you guess the Tic Tac Toe that I use on this one? I used RIBBON, GLITTER AND DOTS. I know technically I used the Wink of Stella, but it's still glitter. I

attached the ribbon with glue dots and added a Blossom Accents in the middle of the bow. I used

glue dots on my ribbon tails to get them to drape like I wanted them to. I think this would make a nice gift and a great reminder to the recipient to do more of what makes them happy.

Renee

OSAT Blog Hop - Spring Has Sprung

Hey there my stamping friends! I know it's been awhile since my last post. I've had the creeping crud. Thought I would get through the winter without it, but no such luck. Luckily I'm feeling better and I'm excited about hopping today with my friends from the OSAT Blog Hop. You may have just come here by the way of super talented Marisa Gunn, but if you started here you will hit Marisa's on the end.

The theme this month is Spring has Sprung and what better thing to represent Spring than a butterfly. To be honest I hadn't used my butterflies much because they had been on back order around this time last year and then well of course the new catalog came out and the butterflies were shifted to the bottom of my thinlits, but I've pulled them out especially for this hop. I hope you enjoy my projects.

I just had to have some sparkle in my project. I just wish it would photograph better. The butterfly is covered completely with clear Wink of Stella. It is so sparkly in real life.

I wanted to make my 3D project using candy. I'm pretty proud that I came up with this little box all on my own. I will post the measurements tomorrow if you are interested in how I made this. I just did not get time to do that for this post. I put alcohol and a couple drops of re-inker in a Stampin' Spritzer and I spritzed some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper with it. I dried it with the heat gun. I then was able to cut my butterflies out. The center of the box was punched with the Word Window punch and then embossed with the Fluttering embossing folder. The next pic shows the candy a little better. I used miniature peanut butter cups in the box.

I loved the fact that the cups were in yellow and purple foil and that is really where my color combo came from. Did you notice the Gold Washi Tape? You can get this awesome washi tape through the end of March for free by placing a $50 order with Stampin'Up! You get three rolls....one gold, one silver and one dazzling diamonds. This tape is super nice.

Well I hope you've enjoyed my projects as much as I did making them. The next stop on the hop is Martie Hillyer and I'm sure she will have some amazing projects.

Sneak Peek

Hey there! I'm so sorry, but my blog may have have had some malware on it. I'm just not sure. Everything seems to be working fine now with the steps I've taken. I'm really sorry if it caused any trouble. I do take precautions and have the most up to date protection. Sometimes there are just idiots out there to make life a little bumpy.

Here is just a little sneak peek of a project for the Bay Shore scrapbooking weekend. I'll show the full project later this week.

Blessings,
Renee

OSAT February Blog Hop---- Love is in the Air!

Welcome to the OSAT February Blog Hop---Love is in the Air! I know this hop is going to be awesome. Love is such a wonderful thing and something to be celebrated every day, not just Valentine's Day. So without further ado, here are my projects.

I was so excited when I realized that the Red Foil Paper carried over from the Holiday catalog. Red is my fav color so this was right up my ally. I used the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits on this card. Don't you just love the shine of that foil paper? I know I do.

For my 3D project I wanted to use the Berry Basket die because I could fit lots of candy in it. I love the Russel Stover holiday chocolates. They usually have them for all holidays so I got a big bag for my class and then today while I was at the pharmacy I noticed they had them too and thought I'd better pick up another one. I mean I do have more Valentine's to give out and I only give the best, right? ;) I made the bow using the bow punch and this time used the Silver Foil paper and then layered the tag with it as well. It was fun to come up with my phrase using several of the stamp sets from the Bloom' Love stamp set. Before assembling I ran the basket pieces through the Happy Hearts Embossing Folder, which I thought gave it a nice touch. Who wouldn't like to receive this, right?

Well thanks for stopping by and be sure and visit fellow blog hopper Alisa Tilsner . I've not hopped with Alisa before or at least I don't think I have. Either way I look forward to seeing her projects. You can find the list of all hoppers below. There are 21 of us this month. Amazing! Enjoy!
