THANK YOU FRIEND


Today's FS challenge on SCS is K Dubrook. Here is the card I choose to CASE I kept the background layout the same but changed the rest. I added ribbon, used flowers and brads, and put a sentiment tag. I also did the inside of the card. Karen has a lot of cute cards!

HOW DID SHE DO THAT??

Stamps: Short and Sweet, Friendship Blossoms
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Old Olive, KC and Company DP
Tools: MS Border punch, Word Window Punch
Embellishments: Paper Flowers, Brads, Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by. Hope your day is wonderful!!

MY TWO NEW ADDITIONS


Meet Abigail and Ty. Okay here is the real reason why I have not been stamping. Can you blame me. Aren't they just the cutest. If you remember they were born 14 days apart. Okay, I am really off to get something done this time. Three posts in one day is a record for me!

See Ya

VALENTINE CARD - 2 IN ONE DAY WOW!!!


I said I was off to create something else. Two in one day can you believe it. I think I am getting back into the swing of things!!! O happy Day!!
I am really happy with this card. My favorite colors might have something to do with it ya think? I haven't done much with this stamp set but I think it has a lot of potential.
I used my SU markers and ink to color this. I used the 1/8 circle punch on the scallop edge punch to give it another dimention. Nothing hard just lots of texture and layers.
HOW DID SHE DO THAT?
Stamps: A Little Bit of Happiness and Short and Sweet
Ink: Stazon on Black, certainly celery, Regal Rose, Riding Hood Red
Paper: Basic Black, Certainly Celery, Riding Hood Red
Tools: Cuddlebug, Punches: Wood window, Scallop Edge, 3/4 - 1/2 - 1/8 circle punches dimensional
Embellishments: Certainly Celery ribbon
Have a great day!!

A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME!! I FINALLY GOT MY CATALOG!

A little birdie told me it was Wednesday's Splitcoast Stampers challenge time. I have gotten a little rusty not stamping for awhile. What better way to brush up then a challenge. I sponged the background of the bird. I used chocolate chip, baja breeze and kiwi kiss. You can't really see all the colors in this picture. I didn't want to leave it stark white. On the bird I double loaded the stamp with baja breeze and chocolate uone is my favorite.

HOW DID SHE DO THAT?

Stamps: Fresh Cuts, Spring Solitude and MSE Bird
Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Stella Ruby by Basic Grey
Tools: Tag punch, Cuddlebug, foam pop up dots


I finally got my SU catalog last Thursday. I didn't think it would ever come. I call and they said they wouldn't send a new on until Feb 2. I have had fun looking through it. Looks better then on the computer!!!

Well I am off to create some more....stamping and sewing....maybe I should post my other creative stuff....what do you think?

Come back again

LAMB AND LONG TIME GONE!


After a couple of months absence I decided it was time to get back into the swing of things.

Here is the card I made for my card swap. The theme is babies. I wanted something that could go either boy or girl
and could also be used for other things besides just babies and this is what I came up with.

It felt good to create again!

HOW DID SHE DO THAT??

Stamp: Warm Words
Ink: Wild Wasibi
Paper: Soft Sky, Whisper White, Basic Black, Wild Wasibi, Pink, Soft Sky DP
Tools: Scallop and 5 petal punches
Embellishment: White seed beads

Hopefully I there is still someone out there who will stop by!!
