Sorry this post is so late, I went to a Stampin’ Up! workshop today and I wanted today’s card to be one that I made there.



Supplies: Kiwi Kiss & white Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!, Sizzix Top Note die cut, Echoes of Kindness Stamps – Stampin’ Up, Misc Ribbon, Brown Staz-on ink.

The next few posts will be projects that were created at this workshop. Sorry I took these images at night so they are not the best.

Have a great evening.

It is another foggy day here, hello Saturday. It has been foggy all week, we are told by our weather guy that the sun is bright and shiny above it but we don’t see it till afternoon I am not complaining though as it is not rain or show.

This card pretty much made itself, I love the swirly designer paper. I added a little stickles to one of the flowers to make it sparkle. The quote is embossed with Jo-Ann Carft Essentials Copper embossing powder (I am almost out I will have to make sure to visit a Jo-Ann's the next time I visit the US)

Supplies: Natural Ivory cardstock – Stampin’ Up!, brown DoubleMates cardstock, Hero Arts – Enjoy Each Moment, Prima flowers, Misc brads and ribbon, Ranger Stickles.

The wonderful thing about this stamp is that it is so versatile, birthday's, anniveraries or even just a everyday card.

With that said.... Enjoy each moment of this day.

As much as I can tweak the card portrait just does not do this card justice. The yellow and the pink are so much more subtle as is the ink that I dabbed around bear. I used my water color pencils to give bear and bee color, aren’t they just the cutest. One thing I have discover with digital printed images though is that you need to be careful so that the printer ink does not run when you use something like a blender pen or Stickles. I did not notice the ribbon of kilter until after I took this picture, I fixed it when I saw the flaw so please ignore that.

Supplies: Light and medium pink cardstock, Designer Paper – Memory Stor , Digi Stamp – C.C. Designs – Bear Hugs- Sitting Bear, Face on Bee and cute as, misc flowers and ribbon.

Until next time.

This card was made with a Digital Download stamp designed by C.C. Designs, I love it.

The colors on this card portrait are not quite right. My sister would tell me the magic tips to correct it but I am working it all out, the green swirls are a little more muted in a nice way on the actual card. I doubled up on the ribbon to give it the effect I wanted. I used Microsoft Word for the Birthday wishes, I added some Stickles to the flowers and some glitter to her little wings , halo and pom poms with my Marvy Just Glitter pen. I coloured my little lady with my watercolour pencils.

Supplies: Navy and baby Blue cardstock, Designer Paper – DCWV the All Dressed up Stack, Digi Stamp – C.C. Designs – Standing Snowbunny with wings, Forever in Time-Paper flowers, Staight ‘N’ Narrow Ribbon, misc –brad.

Thanks for stopping by.

A second post *smile* so unlike me but I need to share. Kerry over at Three Clovers Designs is giving away great Blog Candy for her upcoming Blogoversary. Please take a moment to stop by to take a peak.

What a nice surprise, I received a blog award. Not sure what to do with it just yet, as I am still so new to the blog world. I will figure it out but in stages. My Big Sister sent this my way, she is always encouraging, never fails to support her crazy sister and is beyond talented (see her blog here http://lalalime.blogspot.com/) thank you Barb. If I understand this correctly I am suppose to share 7 random tidbits about me.

1) I love Dutch licorice, it is a nasty little addiction.
2) I have no patience for girly stuff, I don’t get excited about make-up, shoes or clothing.
3) I love craft supplies, that also is a nasty little addiction
4) I have a fondness for chick-flicks, I love Under the Tuscan Sun and have watched it at least 20 times.
5) My husband is my best friend
6) I love to bug my sister with random taunts, like sending her recipes for her beloved wild running quail covey (cruel I know but all is fair with sister love)
7) I have a one eyed cat named Vogue, who is a geriatric princess

Bored yet *smile*

This card was a random thought, it was just there in my head swirling about and needed to be made. I like it.. but it makes me tilt my head in wonder at all the wonderful swirls and twirls on the paper and bird. Odd you say, yes I agree.



Most of my card start pretty basic, I like to layer, I love Spellbinders Nestabilities and I have seen them on a number of cards on random blogs I frequent but they is not yet in my arsenal (yet *grin*). Soon I say soon. So in the mean time I will continue on my merry way with what I have. I stamped my bird with brown ink, used my Marvy punches to punch out a couple different flowers to layer on top if my floral embellishments, add a little ribbon, glue and adhesive everywhere then.. done.

Supplies: Natural Ivory cardstock – Stampin’ Up!, brown cardstock, Designer Paper – Memory Box Provence collection, Inkadinkado-Birds Galore Clear Stamps, Prima – Floral Embellishments, Bird Feather ribbon, brads.

Love your Wednesday.

Good Morning,

I was able to get some cards made last night, I wanted to make cards so badly this weekend but I could not come up with one idea. I would sit for awhile and look at my supplies and sort through paper but nada. Isn’t it just the way when you have the time but….

Anyway, today’s card was not made last night it is a card that I really like how it turned out. My in-laws liked it so that is what counts. The button was made with a Sizzix sizzlets Diecut Button # 5 that I purchased from Stampin’ Up!. Looking back through my blog, I have been using alot of natural colors.
