Rejection....

I hate rejection, dont you? LOL! BUT, that is part of submitting I suppose, cause I sure get rejected alot, haha! Here is a card I made for a recent pub call that got 'rejected' but I LIKE it! so :P hahaha!



Yea, I know most of us are having freezing temps right now, this card not quite fitting the time of year it is...but it was for a pub call that wanted water themed creations, and still wanted to post here! I loved coloring this, used Prisma pencils with OMS on the little fishes. Just wasnt what they were looking for though! :(

In other non-stamping news....we are moving AGAIN...to make a long story short...its for the better! We could not get the landlords here to do a thing when told about the problems, they would just choose to ignore it...soooo...still in same town though, just down the road about 2 miles, lol! I shouldnt be offline long, cause everything just transfers, and hopefully they wont take to long doing that! I am going to try to schedule some posts though! UG...the only thing bad about this..is the time of year it is! Are YOU ready for Christmas??? needless to say...IM NOT!!

Gina K Design December Release, preview Day 1!!!

Can you believe its that time again? Sneaked up on me that's for sure! I am so excited for our previews this month....this is our first month with all of the new DT members! Are you in for a treat this time....Such gorgeousness to feast your eyes on and LOTS of it! Up first tonight we have two stamp sets...First I have Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called...Mugs and Kisses....how cute is that title??!! Wait till you see! This is what I have done for my sample tonight:



I LOVE making coasters as gifts for Christmas, and this year, with Carafe's for coffee being so popular I decided to make a matching one along with the coasters too! I used Stayz On ink on all of the coasters...that is the main thing to do. I actually used a sponge and Q-tip to paint with too! Then just did some doodling on it with permanent markers around the edges..all done! I cant wait to make some more and get alot of my gift giving done!

Ok, next is a new set by Tami Mayberry called Block Greetings and it fits perfect with square nestabilites! LOVE that! here is what I did for tonight:



I decided to do a TAD of distressing, lol! I also used the white gel pen and did some pen work on it...I really love how this turned out! And so thrilled now too that we have some images to work with the squares! So I decided to make a totally square card with it!

Ok, ready for all this gorgeous eye candy coming your way? I know I am and cant wait to see myself! Here are the links to my fellow DT:

Combining some STV challenges...

Howdy all! I decided to play along in this week's challenges on StampTV ... the color challenge (red, black, and chartreuse) and the sketch challenge, both fun ones! Here is what I ended up with:




I dont really care that much for my card though, lol! I have discovered I have NO black ribbon..nada...none! And the red and green colors in ribbon that I have clashed too much for me...sooooo, used the black and white checked and I think that is what is bugging me, lol! It just 'fit'...Anyways....The little birdy is one I just quickly hand drew then cut out...at least you CAN tell its a bird..right? LOL!

Well, off to do more cleaning in my stamp room...that always inspires me!:D Poor hubby ...I jinxed him, told him he needed to get more OT with the holidays coming up...last night he worked until 4:30am...and then they were waking him up at 6:30am with another bad water leak...so he says its my fault...LOL!

Gina K Design Illustrators/Design Team Blog Hop for October!

Hey ya'll!! Welcome to our challenge and hop for this month! For this month, we were to use a favorite background technique that Gina has done a video on...and chose this one:




This is such a fun one! This is my creation with using this technique:



I added a bit of distressing too on mine. The red ribbon you see is some I hand dyed....After seeing Nina's gorgeous ribbon she did, I wanted to try doing some. (I dyed 3 different colors, but this is the only one that survived the stray kitty burglar that stole them off my back deck as they were drying, lol!!) Well, I did not use the same kind of bias tape she used apparently, lol! I love how hers is more 'gauzy' looking than mine, but this had a distressed look to it, on the folded part, so decided to use it on this creation...I also stiffened the twine a bit and made it all wrinkly/curly....I kinda like how it turned out, sorta growing on me, haha! If you want to know how I dyed mine, or curled the twine, you can email me and I will get all the details to you! Ok, ready for more fun inspiration?

For more of the design team's favorite background techniques, please visit these designer's links participating in tonight's hop:

Hey ya'll!! Welcome back to our final night of previews...which means tomorrow night, Thursday, is time for the PARTY and afterwards you can purchase these gorgeous stamps! WOOT!! Ok, we have two more sets to preview tonight...up first is Asela Hopkins' newest set called Winter Wings...this is what I did with it tonight:



I decided to try something new for me, Twinkling H2O's...and I watercolored!! I LOVe how this turned out...its one of those that you need to see IRL to appreciate the sparkly goodness! I also used Nina's Lovely Labels 2, embossed it in gold and cut it out to show that you do not have to own the label nesties that match it, still looks awesome just cutting it out! Ok, and since I was in a Christmas mood...I decided to practice making a few gifts for this year...I made some Salsa!! Here is what it looked like before decorating my little jar:



Now next I used the newest stamp set, illustrated by Gina, called Labeled With Love and added some finishing touches to my little jars of salsa...Here is how it looks now:

With just a few simple touches, just look how wonderful these looks now! ( I had to hide one in the back there...cause that bottle is EMPTY! SOMEbody ate it...) I'd love receiving something like this myself and this new set is just perfect for mass producing little gift labels, LOVE it!! Ok, ready for more eye candy?

Recipe for Tomatillo Salsa (from the Food Network Magazine Sept. issue)
1 large poblano pepper, stemmed and seeded
1/2 large white onion, cut into 4 wedges
4 cloves garlic
2 1/4 lb. tomatillos, husked
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (Ileft this out)
Kosher Salt
3 red jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced crosswise (with seeds) --I could not find any red ones around here so just used ole green ones, but removed the seeds on 2 of them.
Chopped fresh cilantro (for topping, optional) I actually put some into the salsa.

1. Sterilize your jars.
2. Preheat the broiler. Put the poblano halves skin-side up on a foil- lined broiler pan with the onion and garlic. Broil until the poblano is charred and the onion and garlic are browned, about 8 minutes. cool the poblano slightly, then peel.
3. Pulse the tomatillos in a food processor in batches untilcoarsely chopped, then transfer to a bowl. Add the poblano, onion, and garlic to the processor and pulse until coarsely chopped (do not over process). Transferto a large, wide saucepan. Add the cumin, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook stirring occasionally, untill slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add the tomatillos and jalapenos to the pan, cover and return to a boil. cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Fill the jars with the tomatillo mixture, leaving 3/4 inch headspace. If using regular canning jars, process as if canning. I just put them into these little minature jars cause I knew they wouldnt last around here, lol!
