It's About Time!


Last week I finally got a chance to play in my Stamping Room and I created the following card:

I had to have the Herb Expressions Stamp set (113224-32.95) so out it came . I love the look of the herbs and the saying that come with this set. I stamped the image onto confetti white card stock using Stazon. I then used the blender pens and colored in the image. Then I broke out the Big Shot, I love this tool; taking the Finial Press embossing folder ,this item is exclusive to Stampin' UP and a must have in your stamping room, I emossed the Lavender Lace paper. This give the paper a great texture.
I then stamped a butterfly and attached to the card. Finished if off with Organza Ribbon.
All items used on this card are found in the Stampin' UP Idea Book & Catalog 2009-2010 here is a list of the items used:
Great Friends Stamp Set -113792-17.95
Stampin' UP Finial Embossing Folder-115963-7.95
Organza Ribbon - 114319 - 5.95
Big Shot Die-Cut Machine - 113439- 99.95

You can use any color paper and or ink. I used a blender pen to color my image.

Back from travels






Well I am now back from Bermuda and its time to get Stampin'. I have so many projects to get started on for the holiday season. Well on vacation I cam across some great ideas for gifts as well and will start putting those together soon. This picture shows the fabulous sunset and my good friend Val.

At this time I am working on getting my class schedule up and going and out to my many customers. These classes will include: Scrapbook classes, a holiday canvas class, tile classes and yes Christmas Card classes. If we start now Christmas will be a stress free time. I can teach how to make gifts for under $5 per person, even Wal-Mart cannot do that!

I would also like to THANK all my customers and supporters for all you do for me. I love teaching you a great craft and look forward to coming up with new ideas for you!

Here is a card that I have made prior vacation:
I used supplies from the new Catalog and just played around with water coloring and some brads. I love the Ivory Hardware on this picture it gives it a great look.

Thank you for visiting my site

It's about time I post some pictures

Well after some time I finally got my act together with computer, pictures and the combination of both. So before I leave for some fun in the sun I thought I would post some new pictures. All supplies are from the' Up Idea book & Catalog 2009-2010.
Stampin
This picture was done using the Autumn Days set (115452), Soft Suede paper (from the new in colors), Sahara Sand paper, and To The
Nines Specialty Paper. Ink used was Soft Suede and then I water colored the image.

The following picture was done using the Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set ( 111490) I again water colored the flower and then combined Kraft paper with Bella Bleu (113974) paper used some not quiet navy added ribbon and Silver Hardware (111325)- this is one of my favorite cards. More to come later I need to go now. Thank you for stopping by.

Been a Crazy Summer

Well it has been a while since I posted and so much has happened. I started working full time, my in-laws moved to Colorado Springs, My dad became a Cancer survivor, and my husbands brother and family came out for a visit from Washington State. It look worse on paper (computer). So now I am trying to get my act together for a trip. Hubby and I are off to Bermuda soon and I have the house sitter coming and lots of packing to do-really its only swim suits so it should not take a long time.In the mean time Stampin' Up rolled out the new Catalog and WOW! This is the best catalog ever, the ideas are fabulous, the accessories are beautiful and I can go on and on. I have been collecting supplies and had got some things put together into great projects. My goal is to get them on this site this week. I have also been playing with some oldies but goodies as well.


These cards I made for a fellow employee of my husband. I use retired products, jut loved the card, so I thought I would share it.

I will be back later this week with more cards from the new catalog and will update you on the new and great creative projects that Stampin' UP is rolling out.

Thank you for visiting

It's June Already


Well it seems that I have let May go by-not sure what I have been doing, I have done some great cards for friends and now I should mail them out.
I got this stamp set Classy & Fabulous so I got to work making a classy card. I used Pink Pirouette, Whisper White and the Black was from Taste of Textiles. I used a blender pen to color in the pictures, and then added the Lovely Organza Ribbon (this is my favorite ribbon). I feel the pictures came out GREAT!! So tonight I will clean out my stash of cards so that I can make way for new ones-It is June now, as the Stamp' UP community knows the new catalog will be out in July, so I need to use up my "old" stuff so that I can play with new stuff.
Now I need to update my blog with all the new Stampin' UP promotions so keep an eye out for that.
