PWCO Oct Release! - Check out the goodness here!

Hi Everyone!

if you came here from Bella’s Blog , then you are on the right track!  if not, you might want to start at the PWCO Blog, here:  www.paperworksco.com/blog

As you may have heard, this month we are making up for lost time and decided to release 2 collections!  Thats' right!  we have the BarnYard Buddies and Forest Critters Collection.

So without further ado, here's my projects from these collection:

First up is a card using Orest the owl from the Forest Critter Collection:

i wanted to focus on the whole nocturnal aspect, but couldnt find anything suitable stamps, so I did my best and freecut a tree with branches and outline it with copics.  I also wanted to give some dimension to the card, so i punched a circle on the front and added a yellow insert inside to make a moon look.

and the other project:

The sentiment "Congratulations on your new ducking" got me thinking about a baby card.  So I used one a fav  go-to templates and made a onsie card.

I really wanted a simple and unisex card so I stayed with safe with yellow and blues :)

So thats it from me!  Im sure by now you are all waiting for my special Letter for the discount code.

Here's my letter:  1

So it's not exactly a letter but you get my point lol

Now it's time for you to head over to the PWCO blog to see the final letter/number for your discount code, and see what the wheeling and dealing is all about!

thanks for coming!

This month we've asked Rachelle Anne Miller to design some lovely wedding stamps for us.  If you have heard, lil' ol' me will be getting married in October, and what better way to do all my wedding preparations and get into full wedding mode than to release a wedding set! lol.

Now, let me show you what I did with these stamps:

This is a SAMPLE card I made that may be used for our wedding.  Mr. PWCO isn't overly big on layers and frills, so he like simple simple layout.  When I was looking at some wedding portfolios from various photographers, I saw some technique in which all the pics were black and white, with only a focal point (usually flowers) in color.  When Mr. PWCO and I saw it, we laughed and thought it was kinda corny. So i thought i would make a similar technique just to give him a chuckle.  Inside, i wrote:

"Hoping we can grow Gray together" amongst other things.

It's my first B/W copic-ing, hope it looks ok!

Materials used:

• PWCO/RAM Wedding Collection - Pronounced
• Copics, Gel Pen, Memento Black, spica clear pen
• Paper :  Echo Park
• other:  sewing machine, nesties, pearls, prima flowers

And here's my other project ( AND CHALLENGE WEDDING COLORS)

So new with this release, EACH DT is hosting a color challenge. 

Each DT Member has issued a colour challenge based on their real (or dream) wedding colours; play along with at least one of the challenges by linking up on the PWCO Blog (http://paperworksco.com/blog/?p=12382 ) - you've got up to NINE entries to win a prize package consisting of the entire new release AND July's PaperCard Kit!"  

AND and if you dont have some of our stamps to use, have no fear, we got a FREEBIE for you - check out PWCO's blog for more details 

And here's my wedding colors:

Yes, you didnt go colorblind.. theres ORANGE - ya, see what a wedding can do to you?!? (for those who don't know, im highly allergic to the color orange :) )

I know it's a little tropical for a Oct wedding, but I can't help it as we are going to HAWAIII (!!!) for our destination wedding.. so when in Rome..(or honolulu) right?

Mr PWCO and I are truly unconventional. So everything we have done for our wedding have been outside from tradition.  Take for example, our guestbook - we don't want one.  It's not so much we dont care who came to celebrate with us, but lets be honest, how often will you open a guest book and say "oh, so and so came"... while we still want a record of who came (so that we can tell ourselves that we have friends) we were playing with guestbook alternatives.  So I thought, if i made an altered frame, and then get our guest to sign it, we can at least hang it in our home.  SO here's the mock version of my frame:

Materials used:

• PWCO/RAM Wedding Collection - Driving to a New Beginning
• Copics, Gel Pen, Memento Black,
• Paper :  Echo Park, Bazzill CS
• other:  sewing machine, nesties, buttons

Remember to play along with our color Challenge.. it doesnt have to be a wedding card, but i would love to get some inspiration from you using our wedding colors - maybe i can incorporate them with my wedding! HEHEH

You have 48 HOURS to enter the challenges - so entries have to be in by 9AM MST on Monday, July 25, 2011!!!!!!!

SO thanks for coming... Make sure you hop over to Steph:'s blog to check out her projects and wedding color!!! , you will be able to see what other fab projects we have instore for you!

Remember to leave some love , and let me know if YOU went non traditional!!!

Have fun!!!!

My first project uses the Up, Up and Away stamp.  I wanted to do some sort of 3D, so dug around for some alterable items, and found an 4x6 acylic frame.  Using the frame, I made an altered post it holder, along with a matching pen!

Let's play catch up and lets talk about my MIA!

Hi everyone~

Yes, its been awhile since I last posted.  theres valid reason.

I've officially started my Wedding planning..

I've been engaged WAYYY too long, and due to some family issues (Mr. CFO's mom vs. my mom) we postponed our wedding a gazillion times.

Now both Mr. CFO and I are fed up and wanted to be done with it, so we're going to get married - one way or another...
hence the MIA..  but fear not, I have been sorta crafting as I have take GDT roll of PWCO this month, and here are the projects I did so far:

And yes folks, thats ORANGE!!! ARG!  I figured I have to use the kit so might as well use the colors I dont like to get it out of the way! lol.  Actually, I think the colors really brighten things up and give it some fresh vibe (as opposed to the yucky weather we have here).
Materials Used:

• Stamp:  Tweethearts by PWCO
• paper, bellies, cs from PaperCard Kit for March by PWCO
• Ink: Copics
• accessories:  round corner punch, sewing machine

and this one:

Materials Used:

• Stamp:  Puddles of Fun by PWCO
• paper, bellies, cs from PaperCard Kit for March by PWCO
• Ink: Copics (sorry forgot to jot it down), memento black
• accessories:  Oval nesties, dimensionals

Now the question.. should I start blogging about my wedding planning here??~!
