Shady Tree Studio Blog Hop
Hi friends! Guess what? Shady Tree Studio is about to release new stamps! Please check them out on Nancy's blog. The design team is having a blog hop to celebrate the new release. If you came here from Roxie's blog you are in the right place. If you are just stopping by, go to Nancy's blog and start there- that way you won't miss a thing! You can win some free stamps, so check out the rules because you'll need to leave some comments.
What do you think of this? I just love that little reindeer, the bow is a seperate stamp too- gives you even more options. I used a little big of masking on this with both the tree and deer. When I got done building my scene I colored it up with my copic markers. Next I covered all the images with glassy accents. My daughter loves this card. Her favorite part is the glassy accents. Its a little difficult to photograph but it gives the card a really cool look. The sentiment is stamped on the bottom in white ink and scored above and below with my scor pal.

Thanks for coming by. Your next stop on the hop is Joanne. Off you go!

Shady Tree Studio Christmas in July (New Stamps!)
Shhhhhh... my post day isn't until Wednesday but I have a little something I want to show you. Its made with brand new stamps from Shady Tree Studio!
Isn't that the cutest little snowman? Don't you just love his primitive style? Cute little buttons? This is a little tag I made using a die from Quickutz. All the stamps are from Shady Tree Studio and will be released on July 29th. Pretty simple construction here. Die cut the kraft paper. Then stamped it up with a variety of inks. Colored the snowman using copics and American Crafts slick writer in white. I added some buttons and a pretty ribbon to finish it off.

Shady Tree Studio's Christmas in July! (3)
Hello there blog friends. Its another post for Shady Tree Studio's Christmas in July. I also have another card up on the STS blog today. Click here for a peek.
Today's card features stamps from last year's set called, Just Believe. It also has a little sneak peek. The checkered border, isnt it divine? I stamped the tree first and then masked it off before stamping the border. This way the tree looks slightly in front of that border. I colored everything with my copics and called it good. Thanks for stopping in today.

Shady Tree Studio's Christmas in July! (2)
Good morning friends! I have another Shady Tree Studio card to share with you. It features the holly branch from last season's set Home for the Holidays. The sentiment is a sneak peak from a new set that will be released later this month. This is a pretty simple card. I am using a hero arts card base with some pieces of cardstock on the front. I stamped in black (I am using palette noir- I like Memento for copic coloring but I just dont feel it gives as crisp of an image-so I go back and forth, trying to decide which trade off to take). I colored with my copics. I added some scrunched ribbon at the side using score tape.

Shady Tree Studio's Christmas in July!
Hello blog friends! Its been a wee bit since I have had something from Shady Tree Studio! But that changes today... Nancy at STS is kicking off a month long Christmas in July. We are featuring both sets from last Christmas and new stuff too! I have already made tons of samples and I think you are going to love the new offerings as well. Be sure to check out the Shady Tree Blog as well as the other DT members.
This card combines the old (the Cardinal) with the new (little bell). To get myself in the mood for Christmas I took out all of my STS Christmas stamps, pulled out some Christmas paper, went to my LSS and let myself buy a small selection of new paper. I am so bad at working off season. All my Christmas cards get done in November! LOL! Anyway, back to the card. I paper pieced the cardinal using paper from BoBunny. Its pieced on to some Kraft paper. The card its self is from the Hero Arts Hues collection. Sometimes I like having the card already folded and done, and bonus that its white inside. The ribbon is from a grab bag at the LSS, so I don't know the manufacturer.
Card Deets:
Stamps: Shady Tree Studios: Home From the Holidays (plus a peeky at something new!)
Paper: Hero Arts,Bo Bunny, PTI
Ink: Palette
Ribbon: Unknown

Hey There Friends!
Hello and greetings from Moss Landing California. Today I am finishing up my last day at the Moss Landing Marine Institute.
That picture is not mine, as I don't have a helicopter to take pictures with. LOL! Its from CSU website. Anyhow, I just wanted you to see what a pretty place we have to learn in. We have been working with K-2 teachers to teach them new methods of teaching science and also adult level content in the field of marine biological sciences. I know I am a presenter here but I have also learned so much. Yesterday we were out at Point Pinos. As part of the grant they gave us all flip cameras. It was cool to capture some video of this awesome place but I hope it doesnt make the kiddos sea sick. Videographer, I am not. So today we head to the institute and then to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. And after that its home we go. So after two weeks on the road I will finally be home in my own bed! I miss my sweet little kiddos and my own pillow. After I get back we have a release for Shady Tree Studios coming. I think my stamps are waiting at my house! So hopefully I will have samples ASAP. Also STS is going to showcase a sweet little set from last year, so I will need to get on that as well. See you soon!

Shady Tree Wednesday (ok well almost Thursday)
Hey there! How are you? So during my internet absence, I missed a couple of deadlines, one of them was my Shady Tree Studio Wednesday post. So here I am to make up for it. I used stamps from Backyard Spring. The cardstock is spring rain from PTI. Memento and enchanted evening ink. The butterfly was cut from acetate with the PTI butterfly die. I covered it in sparkly embossing powder (hero arts) and then in diamond stickles. I added some Doodlebug bling. Flowers are colored with my copics and have some orange peel stickles in the center.
And a close up. I love that butterfly and that sweet sentiment! Thanks for stopping by!

Shady Tree Blossoms... no coloring!
Hi there! Here is that card I was talking about way back during the STS release. Its those pretty blossoms but this time in all their line drawn glory with no coloring. I love this card. I used a kraft base with echo park paper, harvest gold ribbon and lots of tea dye ink. I couldnt figure out where to put the sentiment so I left it off. Thats all there is to it! So hey, thats it for crafting today. I am going to keep updating the ends of my posts with the weight loss journey. Its keeping me accountable but dont feel like you have to read it! See you soon!
****
So day three of the diet is almost over. I did fabulous today. Every calorie accounted for, no mindless gobbling and I went to the gym. Its almost too good to be true! I have been eating a huge container of lettuce (and other veggies) for lunch with a bit of protein mixed in and its been working quite well. I have tried very hard to stay out of our staff room because it is nothing but junk in there! Trust me. So there you have it, a good day!

Shady Tree Wednesday
Good Morning and happy Wednesday to you! I have a lovely STS card for you today. I made it last week but I am just getting around to posting it today. Its from the new Backyard Spring set.
Its two stamps. The bunny and fence are separate. I stamped the bunny first and then masked him with some scrap paper. I stamped the fence on top, pulled away the mask and voila! Lovely bunny at the fence. I remember being very impressed with masking when I first started stamping.
The card base is PTI kraft rubbed with tea dye ink. The patterned papers are from Echo Park and Cosmo Cricket. Bunny is colored with copics. Wonderful sentiment is from Waltzingmouse.
Oh and I almost forgot his little tail is all full of stickles. So cute and sparkly. This concludes the crafty portion of the post. If you want to read about me and my fat just continue on, otherwise have a great day!
So fat, I've got plenty! Its been an ongoing battle since I was about 11 or so. I think 11 is the first time I went on a diet. Anyway I have never had trouble losing weight until I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (this is the more serious, insulin dependent kind). Before the dx I was a happy yoyo dieter. I would get fat and then lose a lot of weight and then slowly pack on the pounds. Probably not the best method but overtime it kept me in check. Since getting diabetes (ironically at my healthiest adult weight! when I was working out 5 days a week! wearing cute clothes from the Gap not the fat lady store!) its been so difficult to shed those pounds. So I have slowed the weight gain but since there is no weight loss, the fat continues to grow. As I mentioned previously my Dr. (whom I love dearly) mentioned I am getting too fat. I know it, knew it before I went in. I am well aware of what I weigh and how much over the line it is. Sigh. So today. Day 1 of the diet. It actually went pretty well. Except for the damn Ding Dong I had for dinner. In a fit of low blood sugar. (Did you know the main side effect of insulin is weight gain? Yep, I am proof). So I am sipping my tea (black no sugar, yep I like it that way) and hoping to go to bed so I can wake up soon and eat breakfast. Thats how its going here. Thanks for reading this far! See you back soon I hope!

Shady Tree/ PTI Mash Up
Good Morning to you! Its almost noon here and I am dragging, thanks to Daylight Savings. I do not like Spring ahead. I have a "mash up" for you today. Mash up is my term for mixing stamp manufacturers. Whenever I use more then one company I call it a mash up. Today I have stamps from PTI and Shady Tree Studio.
I am in love with this card. LOL, not very modest of me, I know. I started by cutting out the white frame with a PTI mat stack 4 die. Next I stamped the coordinating stamp. Inside the circle I have the adorable bunny butt from STS Backyard Spring. The tiny sentiment is from PTI Tag It. The label stamp is from PTI mat stack 4. I added some hero arts bling. For the base I used polka dot basics (PTI) and some green PTI ribbon. The edge of the card is die cut with the PTI edgers 1 die.
Here's a close up of the bunny butt. I added some stickles for sparkle.
Finally we have my cat Duncan. He would not be denied. When he wants to be petted, its in your best interest to comply! :)

Shady Tree Studio Day 3 Backyard Spring
Good Morning and Welcome back for day 3 of Backyard Spring from Shady Tree Studios. Today is the release day so all stamp sets will be available today at the Shady Tree Store. Nancy is also offering a free digi stamp with purchase. Isn't that awesome?
My first card uses the big flowers from Backyard Spring. I colored this image while at my copic cert. class last weekend. When I got home I cut it out and mounted it on some purple cardstock.
This is one of my favorite cards. I have some pp from echo park on a bright orange base. The big duck is a separate stamp from the baby ducky image. I colored this at my class as well and then came home and put it all together. I added a WMS sentiment. I think its a perfect mother's day card.

Shady Tree Studio Day 2 Backyard Spring
Welcome back for day 2 of Shady Tree Studio's release peeks. All stamps will go on sale tomorrow. Be sure to check out all the DT blogs as well as the Shady Tree Studio blog. Links are in the sidebar under the Shady Tree Button.
Also today is my birthday! So how about a little present for you? I have an extra (single) image of the the little duckies in the boot. Would you like to win it? Leave me a comment (any old comment will do) and I will pick a winner tomorrow.
These are the little duckies I was referring to. Aren't they so cute? I colored them up with my copics and turned them into a little Easter card. Tomorrow I have another card with the same image that I made into a mother's day card. Be sure to come back and check it out.
This is one of my favorite floral images. There is nothing I do not like about this stamp. I used it yesterday in the background of the bird bath card. This time I colored it with my copics. I scalloped the edge and tied on a pretty ribbon. These were the last two things I had colored before going to my copic class. Tomorrow I will have images from after the class... maybe you will be able to see if I have improved!
Card Deets: All paper products from PTI, ribbon from PTI, gems from Hero Arts, Stamps from Shady Tree Studio

New Stamps from Shady Tree Studio!
Shady Tree Studio has some new stamps out this Friday! You are going to love these sets, especially if you like to color. The set I will be working with is called Backyard Spring. Its probably my most favorite since Come To Me Autumn. I really like the stamps on this set. I have two cards to share with you today. I will have more peeks tomorrow and then one more peek on Friday. Backyard Spring is packed full of springy goodness and the best thing about it is that its not "holiday" orientated. It does have some cute Easter stuff but mostly its just lots of multipurpose springy goodness. You will get lots of use out of this.
My first card is a "holiday card". I used the cute little bunny. I stamped him three times. I colored him with copics and then stickled his tail. I stamped the Happy Easter sentiment below. I added some rhinestones and then hand drew a brown frame. The whole thing is matted on kraft cardstock. A full supply list is below.
My second card begins with another craft base. I stamped the large flower stamp three times in dark chocolate ink. Honestly I was loving that look all by its self. In fact I have another card that just uses that image with the craft. I'll be showing that in a few days. Next I stamped this adorable bird on cream cardstock. I colored him with my copics. A little hint, when using a softer paper like the cream for coloring, leave your markers some room to bleed. They spread much more on this type of paper. I cut him out with an oval nestie and then matted him on a brown scalloped nestie. I finished off the card with a sentiment from Waltzingmouse, Spring Baskets. I am using a WMS sentiment here because my early set of Backyard Spring had some damaged sentiments. Nancy is a stickler for quality so she made sure that all the real sets were fixed. My new set is on its way. As soon as I get it I will stamp some cards using her beautiful sentiments, she has some very nice ones in the set. In the meantime my WMS makes a nice stand in. Honestly, I love mixing sets- dont you?
Well thats it for me. Be sure to check out the other ladies on the DT:

Shady Tree Birdie
Hello! Happy Monday! I've been up since 6, getting the kids off to school and then it was off to the phlebotomist for my blood draw, I am off to the endocrinologist next week. Anyhow.... I made this a week or so ago. I used the Two Birds set from Shady Tree Studios. I stamped and colored with my copics and then sponged with my spring rain ink pad. Oh and speaking of copics, I am so excited because I am getting copic certified next weekend... yay! Looking forward to it. Again, I digress... back to the card. The sentiment is from Hero ARts. I think that paper is from Echo Park (but I am not willing to swear my life on it. ) The ribbon and cardstock is from PTI. Thanks for stopping in today!
