Wanted!

I'm so excited this morning...........my new camera arrived via UPS last night at 10PM! I'm so hoping I'll be smart enough to take some wonderful pictures. Here is one of my first .....Debbie sent this to me and it is a beauty. Love the running horses and guess I would have been smarter to have taken this with a darker background, but I'm just practicing at the moment. She said this was some retired designer paper, but I think you could just direct to paper for the similiar results. The stars are popped with dimensionals and the perforations really add to the finished look. I like this card! Stay tuned for some great pictures!!!

Enjoy Every Moment

Here is a card that we made at Debbie's downline meeting held at Sue Dillon's house. I wish you could all see Sue's stamping room..........we would all be happy to have that kind of room. She surely has a clever husband to build all the pull-out drawers, etc! Anyway, back to the card.......Groovey Guava cardstock with Bayou Blue on top. Guava and Bayou blue ink on the white and groovey Guava ribbon! Dots of white Uni-ball gel pen make the card pop. Thanks, whoever designed this beauty!

No Stamping!!

This card is one that was made with no stamping at all! Thanks again to Lyn for this neat addition. Groovy Guava cardstock, with with Ginger Blossom dbl sided designer paper, ribbon, scallop punch and a rhinestone brad in the middle. Great card, don't you think?

Pretty Petals

Whatever happened to a whole week!! Lots of company and more on the way today. About the card..........Lyn and I spent a long time on this one! It was the swap she did for the meeting at Sue Dillon's house and it only uses the background stamp Pretty Petals. We used markers in Guava and Wasabi to color the stamp and then stamped on the white CS. Then we cut it in thirds and mounted on Wasabi, Guava and then Wasabi again. The grosgrain ribbon is mounted on a 1/2" strip of cardstock. A quick card once we decided the colors and dimensions and quite effective I think. Sorry I have been out of touch for so long, I'll try not to let this happen again! Don't give up on me, girls.

Always

Isn't this a beauty? Thanks again Lyn, what a nice job. I believe she embossed the heart with white on red cardstock, tied that nice red ribbon and added the pretties stick.........that is what really made the card. Stay tuned, I have a wonderful collection of cards that Lyn brought down to show us.

Lyn's Valentine Beauty

Oh my goodness.........what a wonderful week-end in my life!! Debbie and I picked up Lyn at the airport Thursday evening, came back here for a bite to eat and the stamping fun began. This is a card that Lyn brought to show us and it is gorgeous. The new sticky letters and the red beads on top of the new striped grosgrain ribbon. I had hoped to get to make one while she was here, but there just weren't enough hours in the day..............and our days were pretty long, stamping at night until about 1AM! Friday was Debbie's Stamp a Stack that was the best ever,. From there we had a great dinner at Plillipi Creek, one of my favorite seafood spots in town, then we caught the sunset at Siesta Key Beach. I'm glad we got our feet in the sand that night, because Saturday was a bit rainy, although we didn't notice it much from our stamping table. Lyn and I stamped all afternoon and into the evening, or should I say the wee hours of the morning! Sunday was Deb's downline swap meeting at Sue Dillon's house and we made eight more cards there! Whew, I don't get week-ends like this often. The toughest part was sending Lyn back to WV on Sunday night.........my sides are sore from laughing,though! I need to rest and I'm sure that Lyn does too. Thank you for coming Lyn and for bringing me all the cards to share with my friends!!

Happy Heart Day

I can't believe that I haven't shown you this card, it was the first one I stamped with Debbie. The way we colored this made me remember to use those chalks!! Just a Q-tip and a swipe on those little babies and there you have it! Of course I didn't bring mine with me,but I borrowed Deb's to play with again. What is nice about the chalks is the fact that when you buy them you get all the regular SU colors in one box. Anyway, two slices of designer paper, a piece of ribbon, a button and there you go. All done, quick and cute don't you think? Stop by again.
