Curt's Best Shots Slideshow

Sunday, November 8, 2009

THE WEDNESDAY EVENING POST ON SUNDAY!

Hey All!  I'm so sorry I didn't get Wednesday's post up, but I've been dealing with some "stuff" and just haven't been myself.  But I'm "over it" now LOL and I've got stuff to post!  (Thanks Patti J for your sweet email!)

As I mentioned in my last post, I got this great stamp set as a gift from the artist herself.  It was such a generous gift, and the note she sent with it and the things she said were so very sweet.  But one thing she did say was there were no strings attached and she didn't expect me to do anything with it or to post anything but to just enjoy the set.  But did I listen to her???? Hmmmmmmm????  LOL  I'm here to tell you that her stamp set is one of the best I have ever owned.  SERIOUSLY!  I've NEVER seen such quality!  The polymer is really thick and they are so sturdy.  The impression that you get with them is effortless.  Add to that the fact that the set is stunningly gorgeous, and you have got one of the best sets around!

I decided to make a note card set, complete with holder and give it away.  You know the saying "Pay It Forward"?  So, here is the note card set and each note card up for grabs":



Here is the note card holder I made for the set.  The wreath is one of her stamps in the set.



Here it is open.




This is the first card in the set.  Isn't this a great image?  I colored it with my ccp/oms and embossed it and cut  it out with my Nestie ovals and matted it on scallops.  Then I attached that onto great woodgrain paper and added a red satin bow.



Here's a close up of the image.

Here is the next card in the set:



I so love this wreath image.  I formed the background by cutting the four panels with my Nesties from the same paper I used for the front, back, and inside of the card holder.  I lined them up and attached them to chocolate brown card stock.  The image is colored with you know what and I cut it out again with Nesties and mounted it with foam squares to the front of the card.  The sentiment on both the card holder and this card are also part of her set.  Here is a close up of the image:



Here is the next card in the set:



I love this image too!  I'm actually a tree/leaf freak!  LOL  When I was showing my Mom my stamp collection, she said "Boy, you sure like leaves and trees."  So no more boring with details.  Card was made like the rest. . .

Here is the close up of the image:




You can see that I used a stardust glitter pen and went over the leaves for some shimmer.  I did the same for the wreaths in the other two.

Here is the last of the four cards in the set:



Another wonderful image.  Here is the whole set together with the holder:




These make great Thanksgiving or general Autumn note cards.  I can't wait to use this set some more!  Thanks again Claire for this treasured gift.  I hope I did you proud with this  card set!

I've not told you her name yet have I???  What a dork I am!  Her name is Claire Brennan and her website is called Waltzing Mouse click HERE.   You can find the stamp set I used here:  Peace & Plenty  It has 10 images and 6 sentiments.  You can see all of her stamp sets HERE.  And talk about a genius, she has stamp sets that work in conjunction with some of the Nestabilitie die sets!  How cool is that?  OK, to wind my note card set, all you have to do is the usual.  Just leave a comment, and I will randomly choose a winner with Random.org next Sunday (November 15th at 6:00 PM Eastern Time) and will post the winner on my Wednesday Evening Post on November 18th.  Good luck to all!  I can't wait to give this set to one of you guys!

Next on my agenda is another little project of mine.  I kept seeing this cute luminary on SCS and I wanted to give it a try.  Here are two shots of it.  The first is unlit and the second lit:





I couldn't believe how easy and fast this was to make and how beautiful it looked when lit.  If you can notice, again I used the same paper that I did on the note card set (can you believe I got all the cards and this project out of 1 12 X 12 sheet!)  on the outside of the base.  The vellum paper I used for the windows was already pre-stamped with those beautiful leaves.  I bought two sheets of it on clearance over a year ago and knew that this was the perfect use for it.  You can find the a pictorial tutorial and video tutorial for this project HERE.  I plan on doing some Christmas ones down the road.  The one above is not really decorated like the ones they showed at SCS.  I wanted to keep this one simple because of the beautiful vellum.  But I can think of lots of decorating ideas for the outside of them for Christmas.

My final card today was kind of used for an inside joke with my Mom.  My Mom, sadly, has macular degeneration.  It has gotten worse over the years, and we kinda noticed that she is having some difficulty putting on her makeup properly.  Sometimes the rouge is way heavy on one side or she is wearing an extremely bright shade of lipstick that doesn't go with her "style".  So, even though it may seem a little evil on my part, when I saw this image I COULD NOT RESIST GETTING IT FOR THIS CARD I MADE FOR HER:



Here is a close up of the image:



On the inside the sentiment says, "You May Look a Little Funny, But We Still Love You."  LOL  When she first saw it, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, then when she read the inside, she laughed.  She knew I was trying to be sweet in a funny way.  This is a perfect example of why I love the House Mouse images so much.  They have an image that you can apply to just about everything!

Well kiddos, that's it for this post.  Except for one last little thing.  Some of you may have noticed that I finally posted my picture here on the blog.  The people at the House Mouse challenge kinda hinted it would be nice. I have never liked any picture of myself, but I pulled this one from the following magazine article that was done on me and Jay a while back:



I'm sure if you click on the picture, you'll be able to read the short article on us.  Our story was a part of a series of stories of how our pets are so much more than just pets.  How some are heroic or like in our case can have a healing effect on people.  But anyway, I just took a photo of the photo above and cropped it down.  It's as good as it's going to get unless someone has a miracle camera to make me look better!  LOL

OK, that's really it except for the Pic of the Week below!  Thanks again to everyone for their joyous responses to my being picked for the HM design team.  I can't wait to get started and I'll let you know in an upcoming post more details about that first post.  Again, thanks so much for your awesome support and good luck with the draw!

Best,

Curt O'Brien

You better be careful or you'll be on another design team! Those cards are just beautiful - those apples look good enough to eat! Thanks for posting that article, too, it's so good to be able to put a face to such a talented artist and to see Jay as well. Hi Jay! You both look wonderful, as do the boys. That's a sweet article, it's good to see that others know how much pets are a part of people's lives. We have kitties and they aren't nearly as useful, but they are our furbabies just the same and we love them.

Patti J said...

Wow! What a great Wednesday Evening Post on Sunday! Your cards are beautiful - I will go and check out that wonderful site! I too, love coloring on leaves, pumpkins, etc., fallish things! Like you, I also still use colored pencils! lol... Your momma's card is so cute! I smiled 'out loud' when I saw it and read the story of why you made it for her. What a thoughtful and fun thing to do! I'm sure she loves you very much! And thanks for the article of you, Jay, and the boys! It is SO nice to finally put (such handsome!) faces with your names! Last, your picture of the week is beautiful. Indiana looks a lot like Missouri! Our leaves are fast falling off of our trees, though! Have a great week Curt, HI JAY!, and hello to the boys!

Awwww. You guys are so handsome. If only my house were that organized and clean. I give up and all my human kids are grown. My fur kids however are like having a herd of buffalo rolling thru mud and bringing it all inside.

Those note cards are my fav colors and my house is all done in earth tones. (with mud for an accent color). Now I am off to Waltz with a mouse. I hope I can resist but not holding my breath. I think I will have more stamps in my collection soon.

Carmen O. said...

Oh Curt, what beautiful cards you have created! I love those images, autumn being my favorite time of year! I like tree and leaf stamps too, although I often talk myself out of buying them...not sure why.
Love finally putting a face to the name. And I think it's great you shared the article too! OMG your mom's card is a riot! I think you have her great sense of humor from what I gather reading your blog. So I'm sure she was amused. I think your mom's and your relationship sounds so much like me and my oldest son Mitchell. Well I was on my way to bed, but saw that you posted, so of course I had to come see. I hope you have a wonderful week! Looking forward to tomorrow's HM challenge as I'm sure you are!

Sue from Oregon said...

You have been one busy guy...love all the Waltzing Mouse cards...that was so nice of Claire! She actually visited my blog the other day...I was thrilled to say the least! Your Mother must love you...I got a good chuckle out of your meece card...life is so much easier with humor isn't it?

Nilla said...

I told you you are cute, and I was right! Curt, where to start? You posts are always filled with the most gorgeous things! I hope your mother is enjoying her card, naughty boy! Ah, You are the best!! Hugs Nilla

Dawnll said...

I was so happy to see your picture so I could put a face to your posts.I think your handsome sweetie but I understand about pictures, I always feel I look like a deer in headlights when the camera flashes.
Love this whole set of cards and holder, I am such a fall lover ,leaves and the colors just thrill me. So glad you shared the article and I am a true believer in the healing qualities of pets, I am a homepathic user and searched for a special DR for our pets and have learned so many wonderful ways to pay my fur babies back for what they give us.So thrilled to read your story. Blessings!
P.S. thought the mouse was adorable on your mothers card glad she has a sense of humor, I am still chuckling!

The house mouse made me laugh...I bet you Mom enjoyed that, you have a great sense of humor! Glad to see you are "back" posting again...you guys take care...and give those doggies a big hug for me!!

MaryAnn Grove said...

All of your projects belong in a "Hall of Fame" you give great details of each and every item you make. Your humor abounds, and your thoughtfulness for others is always in the forefront. At first I so liked your blog I didn't want to share that I had found it. But I overcame that and now I constantly see "did you see his blog today" on my e-mails. I always look to see which blogs come up and yours and Anna Wight's are the first ones I go for. Give the "boys" and ear scratch and a HUGE smile for Jay. Thanks for being you and sharing yourself with us. MaryAnn

Hello my friend, Curt,

Your other projects are brilliant as always....hope your MUM has a good sense of humour though!!!

Sending you some Aussie sunshine. x

Your notecard set is just great, fall colors are my favorite and you did a really nice job with them. The luminaries are GORGEOUS, I love the leaf theme. That is one of my favorite HM stamps too, every single time I see it, I smile!

Serendipity Stamping said...

Well Curt you have been very, very busy!! You know when you disappear for a few days we all start worrying about you two good looking lugs. It is wonderful to see you posted your pic, it is always fun to see the person you have tried to picture in your mind, thanks! Another spectacular job with you art work and the article. My little Dach always stays right on my bed when I am ill, never leaves my side. They are so attuned to us. Well good night sweet prince. Don't forget to tell Jay hi and to hug the boys for me.

So happy to be back visiting.

As always, your work is fabulous. I too am a leaf and tree freak and I have to say I'm totally smitten with your lantern!!!

Don't know why you would hide from cameras - your pic is great - if you've got it flaunt it!

The stamps are gorgeous - Claire is such a talented lady.

Missed you,

Elaine x

Gypsy said...

YOu are so insanely talented!

Have a wonderful rest of the week!

enjoy *~*

Papier Creatif said...

Curt-baby! You handsome dude! The photo of you, Jay & The Boys made me smile! What a great story about quitting smoking! They are definitely celebrity material - absolutely gorgeous breed. I am so glad that you posted your picture finally!

I hope that you are getting thru your funk! AND, plus, I love the card you did for your mom! How hilarious! And unfortunately, I've noticed that I'm starting to do things like that too! And my kids are pointing it out to me!

Also, hope your mom is taking lots of Vitamin A and Lutein supplements. Read up on those for macular degeneration. If my memory is serving me properly, I believe that they are good for that. Maybe it would help stave off further damage :( ... I hope so.

Love the magazine layout that they did of you and your family. Very special and sweet.

The lantern is Amazing..I love the way the velumn lights up...it would be perfect over those little battery operated lights at Christmas.
What a chuckle I got from the card you made your Mother!!..Sweet and Funny!!..
Your photo is Fabulous..your family is Beautiful!!..I loved reading this Article..Thanks for sharing!!
The pic of the week...is totally color and nature at perfection!..Hugs, Ila

Shirley said...

Okay, Jay, where to start! First, I agree with you about the stamp set! Of course it helps to have a real artist to show it off as you have. I love the mice. They are adorable and the luminary is beautiful too! The article had me laughing when I got to the smoking part. I quit using Zyban and it worked on me like a truth serum. We won't go there. LOL Trust me when I say you are a good looking person. It's nice to see your picture. See you tomorrow unless you post Wednesday on Sunday. LOL

Mickey Tait said...

Curt,
I had to check out your site after you left me the nice comment on my Americana card. I'm SO glad I did! Your cards and projects are amazing. And your picture is great, by the way. It took a whole lot of Photoshopping before my picture was posted! LOL

Sharli Schaitberger said...

Curt,
Wonderful post - I recognized Claire's stamps immediately and I love what you've done with them!!!!!

The card you made for your MOM is just a HOOT!!!! I'm glad she liked it - I know my Mom would have loved it, too. She had wet macular degeneration so I now how hard it got for her to see things clearly.

Your luminaria is beautiful - what a pretty glow.

Most of all, I'm glad you shared the article! It is a good photo - you are a handsome man! The story about the giants and how much they have helped BOTH of you is just heart-warming. It was very personal and very sweet.

Hugs!

Unknown said...
