Butterfly Thinking of You

This was a fun little quick card I made & have already mailed out to a friend.

Stamps: Touch of Nature
Ink: Green Galore
Paper: Rainbow Sherbet DSP, Green Galore, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise
Misc: MS butterfly border punch

Well, I didn't get as much done today as I had hoped, so we'll see what happens tomorrow. My kitty, Geordi had to go to the doctor. He had an absessed anal gland. He's on antibiotics and ointment. Have you ever tried to give a cat medicine??? It's nearly impossible! We won't even discuss trying to put ointment on the kitty's "boom boom". On top of everything else, the vet wants him to loose some weight. He's "only" 22 lbs! Poor kitty.

Guess that's all the news from our house. More tomorrow.

Happy Stamping!

MMSC35, Butterfly Express

I made this card for the Midnight Madness challenge for this week. It was my 2nd attempt at the challenge. (Remember, I said I was having "creativity problems" this week)

Stamps: HM Butterfly Express
Paper: Whisper White, Almost Amethyst, Tea Party DSP, Certainly Celery
Ink: Basic Grey
Misc: Top Note Die, Sizzix Big Shot, SU 3 flower punch, brad, yarn

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I'm looking forward to a very creative weekend of crafting. I not only want to make some cards, I also would like to do a few scrapbook pages & finish a couple quilt blocks. We'll see how much I get done.

BTW, I'll be offering some blog candy soon, so stay tuned!

Happy Stamping!

Touch of Nature, CC252

This is another color challenge card that I did earlier this week. I'm not pleased with the colors for the challenge this week, which are certainly celery, Bermuda Bay & Handsome Hunter. To me, the Bermuda Bay is out of place, but this is what I finally came up with.

Stamps: Touch of Nature
Ink: Certainly Celery, Bermuda Bay
Paper: Certainly Celery DSP, Handsome Hunter, Bermuda Bay & Whisper White
Misc: Bermuda Bay polka dot grossgrain ribbon

Sorry I didn't post for the past couple of nights. I was really not very creative and had trouble coming up with some cards. But I have cards to post tomorrow night too, so stay tuned.

Happy Stamping!

Sympathy

I needed some sympathy cards to have on hand. This is what I came up with. What do you think?

The base of the card is going grey, stamped with going grey to create some texture. The image is stamped in basic black on whisper white, layered on top of basic black cute out with my nesties ovals. The sentiment is from "hope & comfort" from SU. The butterflies are a MS punch with silver 1/2 back pearls in the middle.

Today went by fairly quickly at work. I got a lot done, and I feel better than I have in a few days. So all in all, today was a great day!

I'm one of the coordinators for the next VSN over on SCS. (I can't remember if I've mentioned this before or not.) Anyway, we're working away at getting ready for the mini at the end of Jan, and then the main event in Feb. The theme is the Olympics, and it should be a blast. Please think about playing along with us. If you are having trouble finding the link, leave me a comment with your email &/or phone number & I'll walk you through it.

Happy Stamping!

MMSC34, Happy Birthday

The "Bug Man" came over to visit Winnie today. He's her Japanese Chin boyfriend. They just love each other, and she knows it when I say "Mr. Bug" or "Bug Man". She starts looking around for him. It's too cute!

This is my take on the MMSC34 sketch challenge. I had a lot of fun making this card. Here's the deets:

Stamps: Merci'

Paper: Whisper White, Brocade Blue, Chocolate Chip, Bella Birds DSP

Ink: Basic Grey

Misc: flower brads, nesties, Paper Shapers corner punch, 1 1/4", 1 3/8" & scallop circle punches from SU

The butterflies in the corner are "left overs" from a new MS butterfly border punch that I bought right after Christmas.

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's weekend. Happy new week.

Another color challenge card

This color challenge was to use Dusty Durango, Barely Banana & grey on a card. I used basic grey to stamp the image and colored it in w/barely banana & dusty durango using reinkers and a blending pen. The stamp set is called "Merci". I used nesties to cut the ovals. The ribbon is also barely banana. You can barely make it out, but I used barely banana and stamped the background of the card.

DH is on his was to Anchorage Alaska today. Justin & Allanna left around 9 this morning, so I am by myself this weekend. It's just Winnie, Geordi & me. I think I'll head up to my scrap/stamp room & make some cards so that I'll have something to post next week.

Happy Stamping!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year everyone! I wish everyone a very propsperous, safe and wonderful 2010.

As per my normal tradition, I fell asleep before midnight and DH had to wake me up. But Allanna feel asleep also, so I don't feel so bad. Damon woke us both up right before 12 and and gave us a glass of champagne. We drank our champagne and then went to bed. Boy, am I boring. LOL

My card today is for the SC over on SCS. It was a lot of fun to create.

Stamps: Flowersoft Wheelbarrow

Ink: Basic Grey

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Basic black, basic grey, grey, whisper white

Misc: prismas, blending stumps, baby oil
