Make A Wish!

May 15, 08

This is one of those stamp sets I didn't fall in love with when I first saw it, but after seeing a few cards using it, I decided to put it on my buy list before it's not available. If you would like to purchase She's All That, I will pay the shipping thru the end of May! She's All That is $33.95 is in the Occasions Mini catalog. The Occasions Mini catalog date has been extended to June 30!

This card would be perfect for the teenage girl in your life. The big chipboard flowers give it a funky feel.

Embrace Life Card

May 14, 08

This is a simple card to make without a lot of layers. I stamped the linen background on Vanilla Cardstock and also on the card itself. I use the brayer to make sure I get good contact on the paper when using big stamps. I then stamped the images from the Embrace Life Stampset right over the background and colored them in. Easy Peasy!

Project: Embrace Life Card
Paper: Vanilla CS, Mellow Moss CS
Ink: Creamy Caramel, Mellow Moss
Stamp Set: Linen BG Stamp, Embrace Life

Wild About You!

I love this set for baby cards. This is a really fast card to put together once you get your cutting done. If you were to do this card on a square card you would have room to use the heads of 2 other animals on the card.

More Retreat!

April 30, 08

So I finally had a whole day of being able to stamp and I got to do it at home! I got several projects done. My favorite one got selected as a Stamp Camp Card so you'll have to wait to see it.  If you live in the Huntsville area and want to attend stamp camp, please contact me. I'll be posting details tomorrow about how you can attend.

Since I can't post the card I intended to today, here are a couple more cards from retreat.

Big On Spring Gate Fold Card

It has taken me an hour to get this far! And the reason of course is Lola! This is her in her favorite place in my stamping room/office. She is sitting on my wheels under the table where my light table is.

Back to stamping business, here is another card from retreat.

She's All That Stamp Set

Great news also is that that the Mini Occasions Catalog has been extended until the end of May. So you can still order this stamps set.

Here is another card made with the Big On Spring set and Summer Picnic DP. The Summer Picnic DP will definitely be on my next order. I had been on the edge about ordering it but after seeing it I just loved it.

This is a very simple card to make and it also uses our new Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

WOW! I managed to finish this whole post at one time! Wonder why? Lola is taking a nap in her puppy play pen! There is hope I can stamp again....

Retreat!

April 23, 08

I finally got to stamp but I had to leave home to do so. Every time I sit down to stamp Lola wants to play. I had forgotten how much like babies puppies are. Some of her favorite things are cat food, dryer sheets, any scrap of paper, well you get the picture.

My upline, Joann Wiemers had a fantastic retreat for all of us in her group last Saturday and I finally got to stamp. I'll be sharing some of the projects we did over the next week. Okay, so I started writing this 6 hours ago and now it is time for bed. I know there is always tomorrow!

Here's a card from retreat - details tomorrow.
