Back in time....

I told you all that I was going to go back in time
since I hadn't posted in so long. Here were my kids Easter cards this year. Pretty simple but I liked how they came out. Used a Studio G set here paired with one of my favorite EK Success border punches that I find myself grabbing all the time especially for those "man" cards.

Hope you all have a great weekend. We are going to try to finally make it to the new Transformer movie...we've promised and still have yet to make it there. So, if you've seen it.....don't tell me about it!!


Stamps: Studio G
Paper: Cardstock (Bazzill)
Ink: Dark Chocolate (PTI), various other inks (can't remember!)
Other: EK Success border punch, Pop dots

Here's a cutie!!

I told you all that I HAVE been creating!! Here is a super cute card I made for a little girl in my daughter's daycare who's birthday party was last Sunday. This card measures something like 2 X 3....I don't know, I honestly had like 5 minutes to make it and used some scraps I had in my huge pile. Check out Barb's post about challenging yourself to use those scraps!! Again I used a Studio G stamp (clear $1 stamps) for this one. These tiny stamps are perfect for creating that small card for a gift. I found these fairy sets a couple of weeks ago at Michael's and thought it was perfect to ink it up for this occasion. Lookee here, I also used another EK Success punch. I told you, I LOVE these punches! I colored in the fairy using my water brush and watercolor crayons. All the stamps used on this card were in the same $1 set. Til the next post....stay warm...it's still cold here!

You've got to be kidding...

This Kansas weather!! Just a couple of days ago, I sent my son to school in shorts and now there's ice, wind, snow, slick roads, etc!! Ughhh....Anyway, I thought today I would get around to posting a card I made while my computer was getting some TLC last weekend.





This card uses a very cute Studio G Cupcake stamp I found at Michael's a couple of weeks ago. I just love how this turned out!! This stamp was just $1 and so fun to color in. I actually got out my SU markers for this one. Yes, I have a set from about 8 years ago and thought "I should use these". He he. The running stamp on the bottom as the background is a PTI set called Around and About Sentiments. Now, I have gotten a little carried away with buying the new EK Success border punches, but who wouldn't?? In this picture, it's hard to tell but it's a tiny diamond punched out along the scallop. I also used some of my nestabilities to cut and emboss the image panels. I'm still getting used to using these but I absolutely LOVE the look it gives. Well, now that my computer is working better, I have a couple of more posts scheduled to reveal some of the other things I've been working on lately. Here's another view of my card.

Hello Spring!!

Hello to you and hello to spring!! Isn't this weather (70's) just wonderful? I love this kind of weather......leaving your windows open and being able to be outside without sweating!! Anyway, just wanted to say that I have been creating lately, but have been having computer issues so today I thought I should probably write something on the blog to explain where I have been. This weekend was kinda a bummer for me......all the "angels" from my upline's group (The Angel Company) had a "roundup weekend" in Salina where they made projects, swapped, and just had some fun. I had to skip out because it was my Saturday to work.......do you know how hard this was knowing lots of my friends were there in my home town stamping and having fun? It was SOOO hard!!! I hope to get updates from a few "angel" friends soon about some of the projects....:) I have to make a decision soon about attending the annual TAC seminar in Wichita which is such fun and certainly memory making but AGAIN it is my Saturday to work!!! Ughhhh!!!! I have to try and trade Saturdays with someone to be able to go. Cross my fingers!! Hopefully, my computer will be on the mend and I can post the things I've been working on. Until then.......:)
