I'm Still Here

Just a quick note, to let you know I'm still here and missing stamping really bad. My week has been slammin. We only have five weeks of class left and we are finishing up all we needed to learn. I have another project due Monday, I have been working on it mostly this week. I have also done some work for others, givin a little TLC, that always makes you feel good even if you are busy. I hope to get some things posted this weekend, our church is having a Harvest Party and I will be helping with that Saturday and I will have to finish my project. Hubby and I will go out to dinner tonight, we don't do Halloween. Well, enjoy your day and weekend!

PEACE

I made this for the OCCC, to make something homemade. I knew I wanted to use these dusty chipboard coasters, I have add these for about three years. I wanted to use the word P E A C E and thought about putting each letter on each coaster. I have lots of stamps with the word peace on them, so I decided to use the entire word on each coaster. I used numerous embellies, I used chocolate chip, riding hood red, vanilla, and SU dp. I used my favorite SU ribbon, the striped ribbon in the winter mini catalog. This will be displayed on our downstairs mantle this Christmas. I love having peace in my heart from knowing Jesus and I pray we have world peace. Peace to you and your family. Thanks for visiting and come back often. Enjoy!

FS90 Congratulations Kay

I made this for todays FS90, check out her gallery and play along. I chose this card of hers Winter Sky Snowfall I wanted to use my new SU dp called ski slope and my new wide chocolate ribbon so her card was perfect to case. The snowflake stamps are Verve, I heat embossed them with very white embossing powder, added bling to the center and cut out with my new circle nesties. I added the peace on earth sentiment from Verve , the base of the card is SU baja breeze. I hope you enjoy your visit and come back often. Let me know what you think.

Love Flowers

I made this for todays IC151, the bedding is so adorable. I chose groovy guava, so safron, and regal rose as my colors. I used SU rub-ons for the center white flower, I added chunky glitter to the center of the flower. I used my circle/scalloped nesties to make the circles. I just got mine in the mail..... fun. I really did not have any good layering circles until now. I stamped love at the bottom in regal rose, added SU regal rose ribbon and some dew drops and there you have it. This card will also go in the Christmas boxes for the soldiers. Enjoy!

Lollipop Flowers

This is the SU large chocolate lollipop flower wall decor. It measures 44 2/5" x 11 1/2" and it cost $30.95. We just painted our bedroom and got new furmiture, I think these flowers look perfect next to the window. If you are considering SU wall art, it is really nice....go for it! Enjoy!

Three Times The Love

I made this for three challenges.....three times the love! It is for WT189, SC199, and for Lori's inspiration challenge DSIC37. Check them all out and play along. I luv the small green leaf in the pillow, it is the only green in the room. I think it just pops because it is solo. I used SU close to cocoa, night quite navy, and kiwi kiss. I used SU not quite navy dp and matted the back layer on white, the second layer is matted and cb'd. I stamped the love sentiment in kiwi kiss, for the pop of green, matted it twice and then I added kiwi kiss ribbon. The dew drops are on 1/4" punched not quite navy circles. This card will go in the stack of cards for the soldiers that our church is sending for Christmas. Thanks for visiting and come back often. Enjoy the rest of your week, it is almost the weekend....yeah!

Chocolate Centered Pink Flowers

I made this for todays CC189, to use chocolate chip, kiwi kiss, and pink pirouette. I used this older set from SU called friends and flowers.....I just luv it. I am a huge fan of flowers, so most flower stamps are hard for me to resist and hard for me to give up. I used a sheet of dp from the Hawaii Papaya pack and matted it on a piece of kiwi kiss cs. I stamped the flower pot on white twice, I cut one of them out and layered. I used stems for the flowers from papertrey ink set. I stamped the flower petals on white with the pink pirouette and cut them out and layered them. I added a chestnut brad from American Crafts to the center of each petal. I added checkered ribbon and styled silver hph with the sentiment "many blessings". Let me know what you think, come back and visit often. Most of all enjoy!

Pink Glittery Flowers

I made this for todays TLC191, you where suppose to use twinkling H2O's...I don't even know what this is, but we could still play. We where also suppose to use pink for Breast Cancer Awareness (October is BCA Month). Well, I colored my flowers with H2O color crayons and then went back and put a thin layer of stickles on top. They are real pretty IRL. I added the leaves, ribbon, and sentiment. I have to get the pink SU in color ribbon. This is Martha Stewart's and it works nicely, but I think SU has some great ribbon, awesome quality and super easy to conform. Thansk for stopping by and come back often and visit. Enjoy!

FS89 Congratulations Emily

I made this quick little card before church for todays FS89, check it out and play along. I chose Emily's card here Everyday to case. I changed the colors, distressed the edges of the main panel, added a scalloped bottom and heat embossed the beautiful bird, it's from Inkindinkado. This is a great little card to make for Christmas, very simple and adorable. Thanks for stopping by and come back often. Enjoy today!

Divine Design 2008-Bible Verse Challenge

I am trying to get caught up on the Bible verse challenge BVC08, check it out and play along. I am going to give these to my niece one day, maybe when she graduates...she is only twelve. You can see the others I have made here Bible Verse Keepsake. I luv making these, they are 4 x 6 in size, I add the tabs to each one using the SU round tab punch. I like to add ribbons, bling, dew drops, and the SU clips........it so fun making these cards! I hope you join me in learning more of Gods word with a creative touch. Enjoy your visit and come back often.

Comfort and Joy

I made this for Beates WSC62 and for Lori's DSIC36, check both of these challenges out and play along. I am not sure how I arrived at the inspiration....lol, but I am pleased with the finished card. I wanted to keep the silhouttes that are in the coasters, so I stamped the snowflakes and started adding dazzling diamonds and went from there. I used my snow penquin dp, added the SU ribbon for a little tag, and then used the corner rounder to make the scallops.

I stamped the inside with SU riding hood red on vanilla, let me tell you....it is gorgeous. I have never been a fan of red, when you grow up listing to red head jokes, it is not one of your favorite colors. I have grown over the years to really appreciate red and the riding hood red as got to be one of my favorite shades. I have showed an additional photo, I hope you can see how yummy it is.....try it for yourself! Enjoy your Saturday.

Forever Friends CB Folder

As soon as I seen the IC150, I knew I wanted to use my forever friends cb folder. I wanted to go with the whole bird thing on my card, but it ain't workin at midnight so I went back to the basics....I went with the colors and of course the awesome cb folder. I luv this folder because when you emboss it, it comes out with a raised edge framing it on the outside.....so very cool!

I used American Crafts ribbon, dew drops and my favorite punch, SU curly punch. I used the cute & curly set, this stamp actually has "thank you" in the bottom right hand corner, but I wanted to add a different sentiment so I didn't ink that part. I luv that about this stamp, it can be used with lots of different sentiments to suit any occasion. I will be putting this in the Christmas box for the soldiers. Thanks for the visit and I hope you visit often, sign up to follow me for great fun and lots of ideas! Stay as long as you like and enjoy!

No Images

I made these two cards for Sharon's challenge ssnotime57 from Heather Telford to use no images except for the sentiment. I luvd this challenge because I was able to use my jumbo basicgrey cardstock stickers. I added basicgrey dp, dew drops, bling, ribbon, and pop dots. I heat embossed both of the sentiments. The cs stickers really make a big statement on the

5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card size. This challenge is a great way to use these jumbo stickers or chip board.....try it for yourself.....and most of all enjoy!

Peace

I made this for todays LSC190 to only use one piece of dp, eyelets as the embellies, and only one piece of ribbon. I need to make more Christmas cards so I made a very simple one today. I used riding hood red cs, bashful blue, and white. The dp is an older SU paper, the stamp is also an older stamp set called nature inspired. I used a single eyelet in the center of the snowflake. Thanks for the visit and I hope you visit often, you can become a follower by signing up below. I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy!

Vicky Gould, My Prayers Are With You

I made this for todays WT188, to use plaid. I also made this for a fellow SCS, Vicky Gould. I wanted the card to be perfect for her. I did not realize how limited I am on plaid dp and it seemed even more so since I wanted it to be a perfect piece to go with my perfect card. I used basicgrey plaid dp with mellow moss and vanilla cs. I used SU hearfelt sympathy and heat embossed the flowers so they are extra shiny. I distressed the edges of the sentiment, added twill ribbon, and SU filagree brad centered with a S.E.I. colored brad. I placed it in the corner of the sentiment and partly offset on the ribbon. I hope she feels the hands of love. Thanks for stopping by and come back often. Mostly, I hope you enjoy your visit.

Verve Project Parade-Embossing

I made this for the Verve Project Parade to use embossing. I wanted to use my new riding hood red ribbon. This ribbon is awesome, you have got to try it. You really get alot on the spool, it would be perfect for wrapping Christmas packages. I also used the Holly EB folder and the HPH photo clip to give the card a vintage look. I used riding hood red, vanilla, and kraft cs. Very simple, but Christmasy. I hope you like and give it a try. Enjoy

Congratulations Sweet Anne Ryan

I made this card for FS88, Anne Ryan, check out her gallery here: Anne Ryan. She has amazing talent and she is such a sweetie. She does alot of sewing on her cards and it is fantastic. She also uses primas and makes them look fabulous. I wanted to use primas on my card, so this card has primas on it that where sent to me by another SCS sweetie Dawn aka flowergal36 . I needed a sympathy card so this went out to a coworker her lost her husband. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy! I am busy with school but, I will try to post at least three times a week.

Cards For The Soldiers

I made this for todays IC149, check it out and play along there is some very interesting art work by an artist named Mizue Hirano. I had everything out trying to recreate her work....note to self, you are not a watercolor artist..lol. I had to come back to the reality of my stamping area and create a card. Our church is sending Christmas boxes to the soldiers (we had 20 last year). I want to make at least two cards to go in each box. I thought the soldiers would appreciate them to send back home to loved ones. This card will go into my growing pile for the soldiers. I used SU Mercie and Friend to Friend. I stamped in riding hood red and colored with a blender pen and ink pad, I did keep the lines strong in the heart to stay true to Mizue's work. I filled in the heart with SU chunky glitter. I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog and come back often. Enjoy your Saturday!
