Purple Thank You

Happy Monday! Wow, only 3 days and a wake up, then DH, dear MIL & I will all be on our way to Alaska. I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited! If you've never been, it's some place that you need to put on your "to visit" list! Especially if you love animal and nature. To say it is awe inspiring is a definite understatement. I can't wait to go whale watching. One of my very favorite things to see. Plus we should see sea otters; they are simply adorable! They are so curious and playful. And as they age, just like us humans, they turn grey. So you can tell who are the youngsters & who are the old guys.

Winnie is going to be staying with Maisie, and we are just praying that she is on her best behavior. Maisie has stayed with us a couple of times, and they have had play dates, but we've never left her. We normally get an au pair for Winnie & Geordi, but she couldn't make it this time. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Todays card is from one of my favorite stamp sets; Bloomin' Beautiful. I love every stamp in the collection, although I haven't used all of them. Here's all the details:

Stamps: Bloomin' Beautiful, Oval All

Ink: Almost Amethyst, Black Staz-On

Paper: Tea Party DSP, white, Almost Amethyst, Kiwi Kiss

Misc: Prismas, blending stumps, baby oil, SU lg oval punch, SU scallop oval punch, Fiskars border punch, ribbon from Michaels (I love the colors in the ribbon but hate it because it has nylon or something in it, so it doesn't adhere very well!)

I have more cards ready to post for the rest of the week, so check back often.

Have a wonderful evening.

Happy Stamping!

MMSC6--not my favorite card

Here's a card I did for the MMSC6 sketch challenge. I really don't like this card, and on top of everything else it loaded "backwards"! ie the flower should be on the left (which IRL it is). Gee, I think it's time to close up shop tonight! LOL

Here's the details:

Stamps: Oval All, Looks Like Spring
Ink: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss
Paper: Good Morning Sunshine DSP, Summer Sun, whit, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point
Misc: ribbon, lg oval punch, scallop oval punch, flowers, brads, pop dots

More tomorrow, and I promise the card will be prettier.

Happy Stamping!

Bright Birthday

Bright certainly is a good description for this birthday carfd. When I sat down to stamp on Sunday afternoon, I just pulled out 2 colors of paper and made myself create with those 2 colors. I think I might try that again. I got to make some more cards to post. I hope to do that tomorrow, using some of the new In Colors by SU.

Not a lot going on here. It rained again today, and we're suppose to have storms tomorrow & Friday. I know all of you are tired of hearing me complain about all the rain, but imagine what it's like here! UGH.

Here's the info on the card:

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Appricot Appeal & White

Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Appricot Appeal

Misc: Blender pen, 3 flower punch, corner punch, ribbon, brads & Fiskars border punch

Beautiful Birdie Birthday

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week. My DH's award ceremony was today. It was very nice and we were both very honored at all the people who showed up for it. One of his gifts was a flag that was flown over both the Capitol and the Pentagon. It was very nice.

I think I like this card. I can see it used for several different occasions, thank you, birthday, get well, maybe even sympathy. I like making tri-fold cards, and I don't know why I decided to put the squares on opposite sides of the fold, but I like it. (As seen in the bottom picture) Here's the details:

Stamps: See with the Heart, Fresh Fillers

Ink: Close to Cocoa, Garden Green & Purely Pomegranite

Paper: Purely Pomegranite, Pink Pirouette & White

Misc: Prismas, blending stumps, baby oil & pearls from the SU Pretties Kit

I've got to start making my lists to get ready to go to Alaska. I have to make the list of everything we will need for Winnie to take to Maisie's house, and my packing list, and everything I will have to do around the house before we can leave, and ensure that we make a note for the cat sitter, etc etc etc.

Guess that's it for tonight. I'll try to post again tomorrow.

Happy Stamping!

A Summer Soft Thank You

This was a fun card that I made last weekend. I'm not sure I like the Bella Rose DSP background, but I love the stamp set. I need to work with it some more.

I wasn't sure that when I got home from work today that Winifred wasn't going to be on the garbage pile!!! She irritated her daddy all day. First, she wouldn't stop harrassing her brother, Geordi, the cat. She loves to grab onto his ear or the side of his face and try to drag him all over the house. Of course she can't, since she weights 10.2 lbs & he weights 22.5 lbs. But it doesn't keep her from trying. Then, a company called Damon to try to set up a job interview. Well, Winnie hates the phone ringing, and she wouldn't stop barking the entire time he was on the phone. Therefore, that's why I wasn't sure she wasn't going to be put on the curb this evening with the garbage.

Anyway, back to stamping. Here's the deets on the card:

Stamps: Summer Soft

Paper: Bella Rose DSP, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss & White

Ink: Pink Pirouette

Markers: Pixie Pink & Always Artichoke

Misc: flowers

I got my SU order that I put in on 1 June. The new catalog is OK, but the new in colors are wonderful! There's not a lot of new accessories, except for some Sizzix stuff. They do have a new butterfly punch that I really want. I'll try to get a card or 2 made with the new colors so that you can see some of them.

Happy Stamping!
