Simple "Man" card

images (c) Stampin' Up!, 1990-2009

Here is a very easy "man" card. Many have trouble coming up with cards for men...not me, I love making them and find it quick and easy work. Perhaps that is because I'm in a household full of boys!! I really like the stamp set Happiness is a Journey. My husband and children love trains, so this set was a must have for me. Oh, and, the card is straight...it is the scanning that makes is a wonky :0(

I love Upsy Daisy!!

I'm so in love with the stamp set Upsy Daisy!! It is so easy to make a beautiful card without much effort. This sketch came from the weekly sketch challenge at a wonderful site called Stampin' Addicts. The colors are Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss and Naturals White with Artichoke ribbon. The Stamp-a-ma-jig was necessary to get my flowers lined up just right (love, love, love that tool!!). Just so you know...the card is straight, just not the scanning ;0)

Simple Card

Here's a simple little card to get me back into the game. The stamp set is Pocket Silhouettes and the colors are Perfect and Pale Plum with Very Vanilla. I've had this ribbon for years, so I'm not sure where it came from, but it is an exact match for Perfet Plum. I used the Scallop Square punch, which I LOVE!! The layout is from the Stampin' Addicts sketch challenge.

It has been a while...

Ok, so it has been so long since I have posted. I'm going to try to do better and get some of you to actually want to view this blog!! I have a few projects that I'm going to post and then I'm going to go buy a new camera soon so I can actually take good pics of my projects. I suppose that is what stopped me from keeping up with this...I HATE MY CAMERA!!! So, the ones I'm posting are scanned and I hope to be able to take pics soon and post more often!!

Have a great day :0)

Thank you Lori #3!!

Lori,

Thank you so much for the card. I got it yesterday before I went to the hospital to see how my dad did in surgery. Perfect timing...I was so upset and really needed it!! You are so sweet!

Thanks again so much!!

Scrapbook Page Contest Entry

Ok, so I really don't scrap (yet), but I entered this page in a contest recently. It did not win...but I think it is pretty darn good. This is my youngest at halloween in 2006. Isn't he a cutie pie?! The chipboard frame scanned very dark, but it is actually Always Artichoke.

Dazzling Watercolor Crayons

I really like the end result of this card. I stamped the three images by coloring the stamp with the watercolor crayons and misting with water before applying to cs. Then, while the image was still quite wet, I sprinkled on heat and stick powder and zapped it with the heat gun. After this I sprinkled on some daz. diamonds and gave it another zap of heat. It is hard to tell from the pic, but it looks so yummy!!
