Tis' the Season

 

I love trees and I love that I have stamp sets with trees on them. This card can be used a number of ways. I left it blank so far because I will use it as a template for a sympathy card, or a note card, etc.

Warm Winter Wishes

 

Working on some Christmas card ideas. I think if I use this, I'm going to emboss the red bird. My collegue suggested that I draw an extra part so it looks like a cardinal. She's the artist, not I.

Krazy for Kari (cheesy, I know)

 

I always love what Kari Lyn comes up with. She has a unique style about her cards. Check out her other stuff here.

Don't be scared... it's just me!

 

I haven't made a card, well, since the last entry you see. I've been being a mom and a wife. That's all I'm going to say, so enjoy the entires!

Thanks Kari!

My friend Kari Lyn gave me this idea to use contact paper as a window to use with dazzling diamonds. Everyone just loves making these cards. Too cool. Thanks, Kari.

My first Three tier 3-D cake

I didn't put too much effort into this one in case it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. However, I did die cut the cake edges. A wedding cake cannot be without some frill.

Here's a couple more...

I'm coming to the close of my vacation... can you tell? Depressing. I've had a lot of fun making cards, however. Here a few more.

Mojo Monday #82

Here is my contribution to the Mojo Monday Sketch #82.

A couple of cards...

I want to quickly post a couple of cards I made (based on ideas I found on Splitcoast). I will post the details soon.

Mojo Monday Week #71

We had for the first time yesterday an actual snow day. I was able, after shoveling snow, to make a Mojo Monday Card.

Thank You So Much Thank You Card

I'm forever playing catch-up, but we had a water-main break at the school late yesterday afternoon and it was unable to be fixed by this morning. Thus, I have been fortunate enough to make a card today and finish up a couple others. I just "subscribed" to Mojo Monday (see the bottom of my sidebar). Although not making yesterday's "Monday card", I was able to use a template from a few weeks ago that I like.

The recipe for this card is as follows: whisper white, pink pirouette and bella rose DSP paper; pretty in pink taffeta ribbon; Best Kind of Friend and Live Like You Mean It stamp sets; pink pirouette, Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss Ink

Thank You Card

I never thought I would put these colors together, but I really like them. I have so much retired wallpaper, buttons, ribbon, etc. I just have to start using it! I was able to make 9 "thank you" cards with this particular retired wallpaper.

My Snowman Thank You Card

Very simple card, but I like it!

Recipe:

Paper: Real Red, Bella Rose Designer Series Paper (If I got the name wrong, I'm sorry, but I'm already in bed)
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Basic Black
Stamps: Festive Favorites, Mr. Twigster
I doubled up on the dimensionals and used gingham ribbon for the scarf

Hello November!!!

Okay... I can explain. Summer's over and school has started along with football, soccer, scouts and Matt got a new job. I'm done. Having said that, I was able to clean my stamp room this weekend and took a few minutes to stamp a card for my cousin who is about to have a baby. Hopefully she'll wait until we come next week because I have the baby's car seat!

I won't post the card I made for her in case she sends one to you.

I finished a couple of projects and Blaine joined me while I stamped and made the cutest cards ever! My card is the whale card. Blaine made the sheep and bird card.

Bob's Stamping Stuff Organizers

I want to let you know that I have just added a list of stamping organizers that I have for sale in case you're interested. My friend Bob (the Builder...he can fix it yes he can), has made these for me and then I asked him to make some more. I sell quite a few and they not only make great gifts, but they make a lot of stampers happy and organized.

You can visit my little display of Bob's stuff here.

B is for Birthday

A quick card to post for a birthday idea. I really like this Just B stamp set.
