Here’s what the girls will be stamping tonight…

One is the card featured earlier on my blog here.  The second is a simple trifold card using the Wild About You set.  The third is a hinged card using the oh-so-beautiful Heartfelt Thanks set and Filigree brads.  The final card features the fun Doodle This stamp set an a button from the Button Bouquet assortment.

Again, busy, busy!

Tonight’s projects include:
-  a gift card/money holder featuring the Top Note Die and Branch Out stamp set
- a card using one of my favorite Retiring Stamp sets, Heartfelt Thanks and also the Top Note Die with the Big Shot
- and a Totally Tool father’s day card.

It’s a rainy day here – a perfect day for stamping!  So I looked around online to find a challenge and remembered Taylor’s challenge that she puts on each week.  So here’s her sketch:

And here’s my card:

I embossed the rose with Rose Red craft ink and clear embossing powder then watercolored it in with Pretty in Pink ink and an aquapainter.  To make the circles I used the Circle Scissors plus.  And the butterfly came from the Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die with the Big Shot.  And I love the Brushed silver card stock additions.  I sometimes forget about our specialty card stocks; I really should start using them more! LOL  Anyway, hope you like it and hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend!

Well, it’s been a while but I finally played in both Kristina’s Color Challenge and the Mojo Monday challenge!  I tell ya, the Mojo sketch was tricky for me.  Once I got the 3 base pieces down I could not for the life of me figure out what to do for the 2 upper layers!  But it finally came together.  I really, really wanted to add another color to get some leaves in there and that is what kept fouling me up.  But I’m happy with the end result – not my best but certainly not my worst! LOL

So, another place I often look to for inspiration is a website called Mojo Mondays.  This site doesn’t do Color Challenges but rather sketch/layout ones.  It’s a great place to go for inspiration and the Mojo Team gives fabulous samples.  I especially thought Maria’s was super cute so I ran with hers!  

So, that’s where I went today when I needed a second make and take card for my workshop tonight (gotta love the last minute thing, huh?!? not!).  But as usual the Mojo site came in very handy and here’s my creation for Mary and friends tonight – hope they like it!

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!   Hope you all enjoy a wonderful day and feel that you are loved.

Here is a card I sent to all my club members from the last catalog.  I just love the Love You Much stamp set, Candy Lane DSP, Heart to Heart punch, and Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon!  The card base is Rose Red, the dots and sentiment came from Garden Greetings, and I stamped the hearts in Chocolate Chip ink before punching them out with the Heart to Heart punch.

I really do appreciate all of my club members and hopefully this card made them feel that way!

Take care everyone!

Look at what my lucky ladies who purchased the Love You Much Valentine Bundle in January get to create on Monday the 9th for just a $5 class fee!!! 

The products (Love You Much stamp set, Heart to Heart punch, and Candy Lane DSP)are still available, just not at the discount like they were in January.
