Two more cards!!

It is amazing, I think I am back in the swing of things. These cards are using the CTMH Flower Child set, there is a third one but everytime I scanned it, the image came up black and white. It is in browns and blues!!!! Weird! The background papers were ones in the paper shelf so I am not sure where I got them. I watercolored the images.

Finally used my Flower Child stamp set

I got this stamp set from CTMH a while back at a stamp club meeting and I actually hadn't used it yet. We aren't doing our stamp club anymore so I guess it is good I had it to use now - no withdrawals from not having new stamps!!! I used papers from the CTMH called More to Adore. I colored the images with my watercolor pencils.

Sea You Soon

Since I was making my whale card last week, I stamped a second one and decided to make another card. I used the You're so Punny set from There She Goes clear stamps. I got the background paper at JoAnn's - I thought it would be so perfect for raindrops or in this case, the water spout!!

Stamp Something Challenge 9-18-09

The challenge this week at Stamp Something was to stamp something with your favorite colors or paper. I love this paper from Close to My Heart and actually bought two sets of it. It is called Daydream. The stamp is from PSX.

Limelight Sketch 30 - Patterned Paper

Limelight Papercrafts sketch for last Thursday was kind of hard for me. I ended up using a new stamp the Catie got me on Orcas Island that is by Inkadinkado. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Sugared paper pack and so is the dark burgandy color. The skittles were ones that came clear but I colored them using Adirondack Alcohol Ink in Butterscotch.

Awww Nuts!!!!

On the There She Goes blog the challenge this week was to use dimensionals. So, you really can't tell in this (since I use a flatbed scanner as my camera is not working right) that the circles with the acorns are popped up. I used the squirrel, acorns and the sentiment from the You're So Punny set. I found the tree and other paper in my huge stack of paper that I think probably came from one of the Autumn or Winter stacks that I got at Joann's or Michael's. I punched a 4th acorn and background circle and they are on the inside of the card. I am mailing it today to one of our customers who is recovering from a stroke! I hope you like it.

Slow and Steady coming along

I was inspired to make a snail of different colors after finding the one on Orcas Island last weekend (to the right of the orange in the picture), so I picked this designer paper to use with my multi-colored snail. The snail is from There She Goes stamp set called Slow and Steady, which is obviously one of my favorites.

Stamp Something With your favorite Embellishment challenge

Stamp Something's challenge this week was Stamp Something with your favorite Embellishment. Lately, I love the rhinestones!! I love that they work perfectly with the dragonfly from the Bug Me Anytime set from There She Goes. I also used the small dragonfly from the Slow and Steady set. The rhinestones on the big dragonfly are by Martha Stewart and I found them on our trip last weekend on Orcas Island and had to have them, with this stamp in mind!! I am not sure where I got the tiny ones - probably at Michael's. Thanks to my good friend, online and in real life, Stamp Katie for reminding me to do this challenge.

Clear Dollar Stamps Color Challenge 9-11-09 CDSWCC36

Clear Dollar Stamps Paper Craft Challenge this week was to use red, black, white and yellow. Ok, I love this little cow from the Farm Critters Set. I also had these little flower doo dads by Sandy Lion Essentials that I picked up somewhere, so I added some red and yellow to them.

Another Thank you card

I got this set from Clear Dollar Stamps. It is called Yard Yabber. This works great for our lawn care business - especially for cards I need to send to our customers. I used a stamp from a florish set for the background on the blue.

TSG19 Sketch Challenge

ON There She Goes blog, Holly posted a sketch challenge. So, I have been trying all week to get it done. I have quite a time matching printed papers as I don't buy them as matching, I just buy what I like and I am not big on adding alot of bling and embellishments to my cards - this topic I have been discussing with my friend Stamp Katie quite a bit lately. I need to expand more, come out of my realm and use all the embellies I have laying around!! So, I grabbed two printed sheets and ran with my favorite greens!! Added some bling to it to. I love the Slow and Steady set.




Recipe:
Slow and Steady stamp set
CTMH olive and Sweet Leaf pens
DCWV Textured pink, GP c/s, unknown dp and green, rhinestones, nesties, cuttlebug.

CLear Dollar Stamps Guest Designer Challenge

This week at Clear Dollar Stamps blog Lori announced a challenge to be a guest designer. She had a sketch and/or colors that you could do, so I did both!! Well, the others match as closely as I could as I don't have any SU papers. I used my Charliene Cowgirl stamps and watercolored her. I love this set!!

Finally I stamped!!! LOL

On the There She Goes blog, Jessica is celebrating her one year Birthday of her store, with alot of fun stuff to celebrate her "Birthday Bash". The first challenge was to make a birthday card, so I used my set called Bug Me Anytime that actually flew away and disapeared for a while - ok, I lost the set for about three months - but I found it and I love it!! I added some pearls and rhinestones, along with using some Memory Mist sprays I have had for a while. I also used the set Holidays Galore.

Crazy, crazy, crazy!!

What can I say, I have not stamped in almost two months!! LOL Between the girls, the little boys and the baby niece, I think I am tired!! LOL After fastpitch season, I think I just shut down after 7 pm. We did get a jeep for the girls to drive IN A YEAR a few weeks back from my brother so that is cool for them. The girls went to Lost - Youth Group camp to Beverly Beach, Oregon for a week and had a blast.

Stamp Something Sketch Challenge 6/19/09

Stamp Something had another challenge last week to use black, white and one other color. I am late in posting this so I didn't make the challenge, but I used an old car stamp from Great Impressions that I got at Stampadoodle. Keith's favorite color is Competition orange so of course his Father's Day card had to have orange.

There She Goes Sketch

Last week on the There She Goes blog Jessica posted a sketch challenge using Inspiration from Belmont Home Decor. I used the set called Bloomfield. I used images from the set Nature of Friendship. I used parchment, chocolate and garden green cardstock, garden green and olive inks from CTMH to make my card.

Stamp Something Sketch Challenge 6/12/09

Stamp Something's challenge was a sketch this last Friday. I decided to kind of flip the sketch to use a new stamp that I just had to have :) The stamp is from Great Impressions Stamps and was part of the stamps they used to go with the April Stamp of the Month. Stamp Katie and I saw it at our local stamp store Stampadoodle and they were out, but I needed it, so I ordered it. I thought it would be the most awesome to use Sweetpea Flower Soft on. The flowers are not colored in, but have the flower soft on them. I used some scrap blue and the red from DCWV spring cardstock stack and the stripe is from Making Memories Fresh Anthology Collection -Eliza. The ribbon is one from Michael's.

Clear Dollar Stamps Color Challenge 6-12-09

Clear Dollar Stamps Collar challenge on Friday was to use Stampin Up Colors, which I don't have, so I scoured the paper stacks for the blue and yellow to match. I used Charliene April Showers which I think is so cute.

Studio G Collectors on Paper Craft Planet Sketch Challenge

Studio G Collectors on Paper Craft Challenge had a sketch last week, so I finally got around to making a card. I like this sketch and these two little stamps.

Stamp Something Challenge

Stamp Something's challenge this week was Something Old, Something New. It was to make something wedding theme. I love this stamp and needed to make a card for our friend Brandi anyway so I used this challenge to get it done. The cherish clear tag and the flower eyelets are from Close to My Heart (thanks Katie). The punch is from Martha Stewart.
