Here's a project that used so many different products, most of them Ranger Products. These include:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Grunge Board - Die Cuts - Alcohol Ink - Sticky Back Canvas - Knob - Decorative Feet - Fibers - Keys - Gems - Gears and Stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This is my Layout using <a class="_inlinkzA" href="http://www.inlinkz.com/displayurl.php?id=2649640" style="color: #b73db7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Go to http://chatteringrobins.blogspot.com/ ">The Robin’s Nest</a> paper Winter Snowflake, and this is how I created it:<br />
<br />
1. Cut the paper around snowflakes and adhere to Indigo cardstock. Use<br />
Pop-Dots on the four large snowflakes.<br />
2. Use Icicle Border Punch on White cardstock to create Ice and Snow on<br />
Top of Page.<br />
3. Cut out a Large Snowflake and use Snowflake Punch to create small drifting<br />
Snowflakes.<br />
4. Place Photos where I have used Graphics.<br />
5. Use Icicle Stickles on Ice and Snow Top and all the small Snowflakes.<br />
6. Use Rhinestones for centers of various snowflakes.<br />
<br />
AND, it's done. Wasn't that fun. Thank you for your interest and please stop by again to see more fun and exciting projects. Remember, "art should never hurt," so keep smiling and get those creative juices flowing, Carol Berns<br />

It's the last Blog Hop of the year and you have probably come from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">The Robin's Nest</span> and now your here, at Carol Berns. It's hard to believe this Hop is over, but now I get to mail out all the cards I made throughout the year, lucky me.<br />
This card was inspired by some scrapbook items I received from a friend who lost her mother and gave me some of her things, so I created "Retro Santa' who really has a folk-art look. I found a set of stamps that are 50's retro and felt they added the perfect touch. I added Stickles and inking along with buttons, which were so popular at the time this paper was created. Now it's time to send you to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/displayurl.php?id=2649652" style="color: #d52a33; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Go to http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/ ">Michelle Cummings</a>, but before I do I would like to take the time to wish you a Holiday Celebration filled with blessings, joy, good health and a house filled with loved ones. Thank you for your support and I look forward to sharing with you in the New Year...keep smiling, Carol</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"> Creating Keepsakes Holly Paper,</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"> Dark Green Cardstock for Tag Base,</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"> Transparent Peal Pen, Holly Green Stickles</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"> and Flower attached with a silver Brad.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Have fun creating your Tags this year and don't forget to save them for your next year's Cards.</span><br />

Hello and welcome to the "FIGHT LIKE A GIRL" Blog Hop for October. This is my first time participating in a digital hop and I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I wanted to give it try. I used chalk pastels as my medium. So, now HOP ON OVER to : <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'century gothic', monospace; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;"> </span> to continue the Blog Hop (I going too because I want to see if I did this right :)). Enjoy the event :))<br />

<br />
So excited to be able to be part of this FESTIVE FRIDAY BLOG HOP, almost didn't make it. It's amazing how dependent we have become on the cyber-life. Here is my entry and it is made with, you guessed it, Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium line of paper and this was very simple, and I decided to keep it that way. All I did is attach the graphic to red cardstock and add the sentiment with two brads.<br />
So off you go to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f372f; font-family: 'century gothic', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><a class="_inlinkzA" href="http://www.inlinkz.com/displayurl.php?id=2649652" style="color: #3d9d8b; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Go to http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/ ">Michelle Cummings</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f372f; font-family: 'century gothic', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> </span> , enjoy the rest of the Hop,<br />
keep smiling and keep those creative juices flowing, Carol<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>SUPPLIES: For this one I went a little wild with supplies. I figured I had them and wanted to see just how many I could combine, so I used the new Graphic 45 Christmas paper, Green Rayon Ribbon, Fancy Pants Stamps, Tim Holtz Christmas Stamp Set, Tim Holtz Flower and Flourish Die Cuts, Red and Clear Pearl Pens, Black Bling Flourish and 1 Doille, Red Ink and Stardust Stickles, and finally, Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer for Flower Centers.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>INSTRUCTIONS: </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>1. Stamp all your components and cut Paper to highlight Flourish on left side.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>2. Die Cut all your flowers and Flourishes.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>3. Use Pearl Pens to embellish Red Stamped Flourish. Use Clear Pearl Pen on Green Die Cut Flourish.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>4. Ink edges of Doile and adhere then place Stamped and Cout-out Gift. Add Ribbon and Tag.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>5. Cut out Sentiment (I used Christmas Carol) and Double Mount on two different Papers and Stickle Edges of one.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><b>6. Add Flowers...and you're done.</b></span><br />

Last night's class was a blast. We made this double-page layout using Sakura 3-D Lacquer for the Surfboard and and on the Flowers and Sandy Shore to adhere the Fairydustglitter that really brought sparkle to a whole new lever: Glittery and Glossy. We even added Fairydustglitter to the Burlap center mat. Some of the gals loved it so much they cannot wait to display it on their walls.

This card's inspiration comes from the wonderful stamps I found on the Southern California Shop Hop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3TJdrpz1INM/TlW3I3-A6qI/AAAAAAAAAJs/XJrGR0dqZ5U/s1600/IMG_0082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3TJdrpz1INM/TlW3I3-A6qI/AAAAAAAAAJs/XJrGR0dqZ5U/s320/IMG_0082.JPG" width="283" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Three different stamps were used to create this card. The background 'Snowfake' stamp has been stamped with Versamark then embossed with Rangers Hologram. The Snowman stamp was stamped with Black Soot Distress Ink, I then used pastels by Pebbles to add color and finally, Stickles and Pearl Pen to accent key areas. Tim Holtz' stamp was used for 'Merry Christmas in Black Soot Distress Ink then accented with Stickles. I then mounted it on white cardstock then light blue cardstock. All edges have been inked with Distress Ink's Old Paper. Now its your turn to let your creativity loose, but before you do, continue this Blog Hop by visiting <a class="_inlinkzA" href="http://www.inlinkz.com/displayurl.php?id=2649652" style="color: #b73db7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Go to http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/ ">Michelle Cummings</a> .

So, I came up with a Pencil Holder with, of course, Graphic-45 new School line of paper, and I love it all. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F4SqyrzZWeE/TkwiFqRQNqI/AAAAAAAAAJk/KL0dbHSGdIU/s1600/IMG_0171.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F4SqyrzZWeE/TkwiFqRQNqI/AAAAAAAAAJk/KL0dbHSGdIU/s320/IMG_0171.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>I just love the way Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer allows me to 'pop' selected areas to give it a well polished look. On the Bottle Cap, Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer brightens the graphics and protects it giving it a glassy look. I also used it on the clocks and the ruler to make them stand out.<br />
<br />
Let's get started:<br />
Supplies Needed:<br />
Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer<br />
Paper, your choice<br />
Bottle Cap, (this one is from Once Upon A Page in Burbank)<br />
Ribbon,<br />
Stick Pin.<br />
1.) For the Bottle Cap, I circle-punched a piece of green cardstock and gave it a good coat of 3-D Lacquer, and let it dry. Then put a pin in it and again coated the inside of bottle cap with lacquer, let it dry and added ribbon and stick pin.<br />
2.) Cut Background Paper to fit around Milk Can. Using Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer I adhered it to the can. <br />
3.) I cut the ruler and clocks from one of the papers, used Crystal Lacquer on entire ruler to give it a lacquered look, and only applied Crystal Lacquer to Clock Faces, let them dry and applied along with the abc graphic. Add Pencils and Pens, place on your desk, and know it is there to greet you whenever you need it. <br />
Happy creating and keep smiling, Carol<br />

<br />
I haven't made a shaker box in a long time and had a ball making this one. So here's what you'll need:<br />
Cardstock in White, Red and Green<br />
Patterned Scrapbook Paper<br />
Melissa Frances Mica (loose snow in box)<br />
Double Stick Foam Tape<br />
Clear lightweight acrylic sheep (for window)<br />
Stampendous Snowman Stamp & Colored Pencils<br />
Pearl Pens in Red and White<br />
!.) Stamp and color Snowman on White Cardstock. 2,) Run Green Cardstock through Sizzix Frame Die.<br />
3.) Adhere Clear Acrylic to frame and Place Adhesive Foam Tape all around back of frame.<br />
4.) Sprinkle Mica inside Frame, apply Snowman to Foam Tape.<br />
5.) Adhere to Red Cardstock. 6.) Add Patterened Paper. 7.) Apply Pearls around cardstocks.<br />
And now you have another Christmas Card...one card closer to completing your card list. Now hop on over<br />

This Jewel Tin Box took longer to make only because of the drying time in-between steps so let's get started:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7gGArmYoeEs/TjijBmE4VMI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/8rNBf2lp0To/s1600/IMG_0181.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7gGArmYoeEs/TjijBmE4VMI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/8rNBf2lp0To/s320/IMG_0181.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <b>Supplies needed:</b><br />
Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer ~ Sakura Square Tin Box ~ Tattered Angels Glass (acrylic) Flourish ~ Chunky Aged Silver Glitter (or you can use silver seed beads) ~ Mixed Blue and Green Seed Beads ~ Scissors.<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmpSBIgWfjs/TjinMUFSFTI/AAAAAAAAAJU/lw9wVAeJur4/s1600/IMG_0180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmpSBIgWfjs/TjinMUFSFTI/AAAAAAAAAJU/lw9wVAeJur4/s320/IMG_0180.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
1.) Using Scissors, Cut Flourish <b> </b>to fit top of Tin Box. Let Dry Completely.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CoEfw3luOJk/Tjinn-S-XzI/AAAAAAAAAJY/IZrs9R0YUbA/s1600/IMG_0242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CoEfw3luOJk/Tjinn-S-XzI/AAAAAAAAAJY/IZrs9R0YUbA/s320/IMG_0242.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>2.) Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer is the only adhesive or glue you will need and you will begin by applying it to the backside of cut Flourish and set onto top of Tin Box. Then, taking a small section at a time, apply Crystal Lacquer to Top of Flourish, generously sprinkle with Silver Glitter and tap-off excess. Repeat until entire Flourish is covered. Let Dry Completely.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q1ZGyxOquj4/TjipZNgRo5I/AAAAAAAAAJc/-pyf22m3Lgk/s1600/IMG_0244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q1ZGyxOquj4/TjipZNgRo5I/AAAAAAAAAJc/-pyf22m3Lgk/s320/IMG_0244.JPG" width="286" /></a></div><br />
3.) Repeat step #2 only this time you will be applying Colored Seed Beads to the negative space on Tin Box. Let Dry Completely, then fill with Hand made Jewelry, Gift Card for your BFF...or Mom.<br />
<br />
That's it, you are done. Try using your favorite colors or if giving it away, the favorite colors of lucky recipient. Be creative and above all, have fun because 'art should never hurt.'<br />
Keep Smiling, Carol<br />

And once again, so simple to make. I found an old gift tag with a Poinsettia, cut it out, backed it with dark green card stock. Then I cut a diamond shape graphic off, you guessed it, Graphic 45 Christmas Paper. Applied it, Ribbon and Bling onto Red Polka Dot Paper (love polka dots), and onto a Ready to decorate Card. I then found a little Bling left over from two weeks ago and put that on, connecting the embellishment with the bow.<br />
That's all there is to it. Now on to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><a class="_inlinkzA" href="http://www.inlinkz.com/displayurl.php?id=2649652" style="color: #b73db7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Go to http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/ ">Michelle Cummings</a></span> site to continue the Blog Hop. Have fun and don't be afraid to try making some of the cards you see. Paper and colors do not have to be the same, just follow the design. Happy creating and keep smiling.<br />

<div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vyG8a3TlkYU/Tg39IlISe8I/AAAAAAAAAFY/Eo6wAJvB8OI/s1600/IMG_0026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vyG8a3TlkYU/Tg39IlISe8I/AAAAAAAAAFY/Eo6wAJvB8OI/s320/IMG_0026.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Using Sakura Transparent Pastel Crystal Lacquer, I made Swirls and Leaf shapes onto a craft sheet and let it dry. I then peeled it off the craft sheet carefully to keep the strand from attaching to itself.</div></div><div><br />

</div><div>Begin rolling the strand, making a tight center then flaring it slightly and you continue to roll. </div><div>This is the Rose complete. Make several.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n25Qff_yP6k/Tg_4KY2N8_I/AAAAAAAAAGI/22rAUOzH4Xg/s1600/IMG_0033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n25Qff_yP6k/Tg_4KY2N8_I/AAAAAAAAAGI/22rAUOzH4Xg/s320/IMG_0033.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> This is my version of a Victorian Christmas. I used old supplies that I had to create it. I used two different Lace Border Punches, two different Laces, and used my imagination as my guide to a Victorian Merry Christmas. Hope you enjoy it. Happy day, happy everything, and, now on to the next artist.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Graphic 45 paper in the background along with Navy Cardstock, this card was then layered with a PC Board and Grunge Board, die cut with Tim Holtz Gears, I created a ghost image of gears on Claudine Hellmuth's Sticky Back Canvas. It is then stamped with "happy birthday and numbers" to create this unique card. I can't wait to give this card to someone special on his 90th Birthday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://tmscrapbook.blogspot.com/">tmscrapbook.blogspot.com</a> </div>Carol's 1 Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05721633521324290592noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212625087109030167.post-11235963054938979242011-06-18T15:04:00.000-07:002011-07-14T17:33:13.145-07:00"LIFE IS MORE THAN TWO WEEKS A YEAR" Looking outside I see the sun is shining, the pool, not yet warm but with its inviting color along with the sound of a soft waterfall, beckons me to come and enjoy the warmth of the sun on my sun deprived skin. It looks like summer and I want it to be summer. I want to cast all my responsibilities aside and just bask in the sun. After all, if I were on vacation, that's exactly what I would be doing.<br />

Perhaps that is one of the keys to life, enjoying each day as if I were on vacation. And daily responsibilities will be there every day. I want to have a balance in my day so that I can appreciate and enjoy life's daily pleasures while tending to today's To Do List. "Life is more than two weeks a year." And, God's beautiful opportunities come daily, I think He wants me to enjoy them. So today I am going to stop what I am doing and go outside by the pool and take a lunch break. It'll be my mini vacation for today.Carol's 1 Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05721633521324290592noreply@blogger.com0
