Stamping with Pennie

More Definitely Decoratives - aka Decor Elements

In my post on Feb. 19th - (scroll down to see that post) - I posted many of the Definitely Decoratives that I have done on the hall doors in our home in Phoenix.  While out there this month, I took a couple more pictures that I want to share with you:

 
If you know AZ construction, most everyone's walls are stucco finished, rough.  So, I came up with the idea to decorate all the doors in my hall way (posted others on 2/19/11 post).  This one I just finished putting up and it is on the outside of the door to the master bedroom.  This way, when the door is opened into the bedroom, you still see the floral decor.  The walls in the bedroom are the same color as these hall walls, oh, my! what a match by accident (but hopeful).  I used the Fabulous Flowers - Large in Chocolate, Crumb Cake on page 20 in the Definitely Decorative Catalog.  I LOVE the way it turned out.

Previously when I posted I did not have a picture of the little ones door.  Lauren and Cole (grand children, ages almost 2 and almost 4) know they have a bedroom at Grandma and Grandpa's, so here is their door!

 

Another Punch Bunch card for you

 If you already have this stamp set, don't you just love this beautiful image of Poppies that you can punch out using the scallop circle punch?  If you do not have it, what are you waiting for, it will be gone at the end of this month!
For this card, I have paired Poppy Parade color with Very Vanilla and Soft Suede, I love the combination!

The smallish background stamp that I have used is "Fine Flourish", a fine addition to any stamp collection!  The ribbon is the new Crumb Cake Seam Binding that is in the current Occasions Mini Catalog.  Email to purchase some for yourself.  pennie.mccallum@comcast.net

I'm a little behind.....

 .... not in my stamping, but in my posting.  I some how always manage to get the stamping done, but then not the posting.  This stamp set - is a must - there just aren't enough masculine type of sets and this one will work for any guy.  Well, maybe not just any guy, I actually made this card for my Brother's Birthday - and mailed it and got it there on time.  Happy Birthday Dennis!

The stamp set is from the current Occasions Mini catalog - page 40 Plane & Simple.  The colors I have used are Chocolate Chip and Night of Navy.  The patterned paper is from the Big Idea Book & Catalog page 175 - Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack - this has A LOT of PAPER!  I used a selection from the Regals Collection.  The texture (yay, you can see it) was made using my Big Shot with one of the Texturz Plates from Kit #4 - page 215 in the Big Idea Book and Catalog.
