Autumn Beauty - October Pineapple Paper Artists Blog Hop

October is here already and it is that time of the month to share what the Pineapple Paper Artists have been working on for Autumn Beauty.  I am getting a little better at this but still struggle a bit with the hectic life I have been leading with the months flying by so quickly!!

You may have come here from Cheryl Lotz page or just picked up and started here.  In any case I hope you enjoy the wonderful artwork.

I chose a Fall Card to make for this blog.  I used the Fall Harvest Seasons & Nature (C1504) Stamp Set.  Strips of paper were cut in Barn Red, New England Ivy, Sunset and Honey to represent the Autumn colors of the leaves.  The same color inks were used to stamp on the papers.  I hope you enjoy this and will continue on the path to check out what Sandra http://www.scrappysandrascustomcreations.blogspot.com/ has to offer.

CTMH Team Blog Hop - School Days

 Here I am again, working out of my box on the computer and really trying to get this bloghop mastered!!  I keep trying but this time I have been working so many hours and no internet access at work, so I am a bit late at getting it posted.

Maybe you started here or came from Gretchen's http://gstumme.blogspot.com/.  I hope I don't loose you, but if I do, I am probably lost also!!  I still struggle with the posting of the blog!!!  Someday it will be second nature I guess, but for now I will just keep trying. 


I found this project fun, however I was a bit slow at getting the pictures done for it.  As you know I am a bus driver and every year I try to do something different for my PreSchool kids.  I have 18 kids this year on the bus.  I have taken a picture of them sitting in their seats on the bus and that picture will go at the top of the page where the Lagoon rectangle is.  I have cut out a school bus also to show it was a bus project.  In the bottom right on the Flaxen rectangle will be a picture of the teacher and aide in the class.  I will then put the page in a page protector and the student will take it home to his parents.

I hope you have enjoyed this.  Now you can check out Cheryl'shttp://www.creationswithstyle.blogspot.com/2014/09/school-days.html page and continue the adventure!

SOTM September

Pineapple Paper Artists SOTM - September

Here I am again, working out of my box on the computer and really trying to get this bloghop mastered!! 

Maybe you started here or came from Martha Porschet,s page.  I hope I don't loose you, but if I do, I am probably lost also!!  I still struggle with the posting of the blog!!!  Someday it will be second nature I guess, but for now I will just keep trying. 

I have made a 6 x 6 card for my project. I have used the Seaside paper, September Stamp of the Month, item #S1409, Glacier Ink, item #Z2641 for the words, Tree is stamped in Slate, item #Z2173.  The hearts were stamped in Ruby Ink, item #Z2170 and cut and glued on the tree.  

 I promise, the next post will have some different paper to it.  My order will be here on Friday and I can't wait to do the next blog!!!

 

On the bottom right will be a picture of my son and daughter in law with my grandson Tyler.  I was unable to print the picture from my printer to get the size I needed.  I hope you can vision this.  I found this set difficult to work with for a card.  As the time approached I did come up with an idea for a scrapbook page, but have been way to busy this last week of vacation to get things done.  Back to work tomorrow for me.
This is the picture that will be on the bottom right.  My daughter in law Sarah, Tyler and my son Ruddley.

I hope you have enjoyed this card and I am slowly learning how to do these blogs!!!  Thanks to all the encouragement and reminders from my team, I will get there someday!!!

Now hop on over to Gretchen's blog and enjoy some more great artwork.  Enjoy

Pineapple Paper Artists August Blog Hop - The Fleeting Days of Summer

Here I am again, working out of my box on the computer and really trying to get this bloghop mastered!!  Driving a school bus is much easier for me!!

Maybe you started here or came from Amy Raimy's http://amyraimy.blogspot.com/ page.  I hope I don't loose you, but if I do, I am probably lost also!!

I have made a 6 x 6 card for my project.  It is a waterfall card.  Something new to me and fun to make.  I used: stamp set C1594 - Treasured Friendship Seasons and Nature.  Dessert Sand Paper for the card base, the strip on front of card, and layered under the shells.  The pull strip is made out of Lagoon paper.  The backgroud is Seaside and the shells are stamped in Champagne Ink (#Z2174) on Colonial White Cardstock.  I have used the zip strip on the top of the center piece to hold the waterfall in place when it is pulled.  I also used 2 brads to hold the paper in place and a small piece of Washi Tape for the pull tab on the front of the card.  The brads used are a retired item from Close To My Heart.





I hope you have enjoyed your visit.  I sure had fun making this card.  Now hop on over to Martha's http://www.marthaporschet.blogspot.com/page and see some fabulous artwork there.

Pineapple Paper Artists' April Team Blog Hop-Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book


Welcome to the Pineapple Paper Artist's Team Blog Hop.  You may have started here, or you have arrived from Gretchen's blog, I hope you enjoy the artwork from all the great artists.

I did this layout using the "Timberline" paper packet.







 I started working on the Emerson Family History from a book that was given to me from my cousins.  The book is old and falling apart, so as I have decided to update the information I have also decided to redesign the album into a nice scrapbook.

To check out more great work, check out Brooke's blog at http://colorfulsentiments.com/2014/04/

Pineapple Paper Artists team blog hop

Amy Raimy
Welcome to our Pineapple Paper Artists team blog hop!  Whether you are just beginning your journey or you came here from Gretchen's blog, I hope you will continue on until you see everyone's artwork and find some inspiration for your holiday projects.



 I used the Sparkle & Shine and Juniper cardstock for these cards.  There was no stamping involved as two ladies were interested in seeing how to make cards with our card stock and embellishments without having to stamp on them.  I used the small buttons from the Mini Medley Ruby Red Accents - Item # Z1861 on top of the button I put a large Clear Sparkle - Item # Z1752.

I hope these cards have inspired you to encourage the "not so crafty" people to try our product.  It helped me with my sales and it can help you also.  Now head on over to http://amyraimy.blogspot.com/ and see her beautiful artwork.
