Adrienne’s Red, White, and Blue swap

So I wish I could use the words Adrienne used to describe her card!  The words were perfect.  Anyone remember?  LOL

Anyway, it's a great card with a great interpretation of the red, white, and blue theme using a non-American image!   It is one of my favorite stamp sets Artistic Etchings.

Last Chance Stamp a Stack Cards

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.

Rainy Day Kindness

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!

Autumn Harvest Thanksgiving

(Originally posted November 26, 2008)

So, some of you know I’m away on vacation (yeah!) but I didn’t want my blog to sit idle while I was away!  So, I went searching through my never ending stash of stamped cards and 6 x 6 pages and came up with a few things to share with you while I’m (hopefully) enjoying some sun.  I hope you enjoy these creations…see you in December!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Playing around

While I finally have a few free minutes I thought I’d play with Upsy Daisy, I love the set but haven’t had time to play with it, and some new DSP and the new Kiwi Kiss/Vanilla satin ribbon.  I have a lot of fun workshops coming up in the next few weeks so I need to get crackin’!  This is card #1.  I like it, I don’t love it, so I’m going to try again.  I think something about the layout is throwing me off but I haven’t figured out what yet.  I do really like the unusual color combination I chose: Kiwi Kiss, Not Quite Navy, and Baja Breeze.  Don’t be surprised if you see a version of this at the next workshop you attend!  Now let’s see if I can get one more stamped before it’s time to start creating dinner!  LOL
