Bernadette

I think I'm still asleep. Man I did not want to get up! But here I am, hope what I write makes since LOL. Last week a wonderful talented friend of mine, Selma Stevenson, posted a card on her blog and the minute I saw the image I knew I had to have it. So I contacted Joan's Garden and look what I got! Is she not the cutest! Don't tell but I got one more too, I'll finish it tonight, hehe. It got here fast and Joan doesn't rob you on the shipping! Oh the wish list I have now, but gotta be good for awhile. I used Basic Grey Kioshi, and 2 pieces of scraps, it's Stampin Up, punched her out with a nestie, added some flowers and that's it. In away I think it's to busy but I'm not changing any thing LOL. Okay, this is short but gotta finish my coffee, (Hi Patti) we have coffee together LOL, then hit the shower and off to work I'll go. Thanks for taking time to stop by, have a great day and Happy Stamping!!

Nappy Hour


Happy Tuesday Yall! It's gonna be a great day in the southwestern part of Virginia today. Can't ya just feel it! I'm posting for CCS this morning. These are the best stamps I believe I have ever used. And the cleaner Laura offers is fantastic! Smells soooo goood and cleans better than it smells. Anyway, on to my card. I won this stamp last year during one of their blog hops. I have used it a lot and still love it. Boy I could of used a nap yesterday, LOL. The card stock I used is Pure Luxury from Gina K and topped that off with Stampin Ups Sweet Pea Designer Stack. I used a nestie to cut out the frame looking part and with the ribbon my card is finished. Some times depending on who is getting the card or if I'm mailing it , I let the image or sentiment carry the card. I think this says it all and nothing else is needed. Hope you like and hope you will check out all of the wonderful stamps Laura has. I haven't seen anything over $10.00 so that will fit any ones budget. Well gotta hit the shower and head to work. Hope your day is awesome, thanks for dropping by and Happy Stamping!!

Thank You so Much


Good morning all. Well I did get around to stamping a little yesterday. Well a lot I guess. I made this one and 3 for the challenges over at StampTV. Hopefully I will get some more done today. This is a card I made for a very dear friend of mine from STV. Well not for her but her son Travis who is in the Marines and right now is stationed over in Afghanistan. I am putting this in the mail this morning. The Roses (as we call our little group) do a challenge once a month and this month is Kym's and we are all making and sending him cards. I goofed, it was supposed to be Thinking of You and mine says thanks. Oh well, I do thank him and all of our men and women serving in the military. The sacrifice they make to make our life better is beyond words. We can never repay them enough. This is the image I bought off Ebay last week. So all I had to do is sponge around it and add a little color here and there. Cut if out with a nestie, and the border under it is of course from Martha Stewart. The dp is Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety. Thank you so much for taking time to drop by and look. I do appreciate it and your comments so much!!! Okay, that's it for now........Happy Stamping!!

3 Little Bunnies

Good Morning! Hope all is great with yall. Sadly to say my MOJO has gone a miss. I think it could be to working so hard this week. But no fear, the weekend has started and hopefully it's back. It's been way over a week since my last challenge. HELP! I made this card just to be making one. I bought some images off Ebay and the seller also sent me 4 extra images, this is one of them. Yeah, if you see this THANKS! I think it's Penny Black. The card stock is from Basic Grey "Green at Heart". I just thought it was perfect for these cute little guys. A field of wild flowers. I added ribbon which is yellow but sure doesn't look like it in the photo, then stamped Happy Easter from a SU stamp, cut it out with the circle nestablities to finish it off. Sorta simple but I'm pleased. Hope everyone has a great day..........Happy Stamping!

Afternoon


Good Morning. Gotta work today but it's okay, it's gonna be a fun day at work and I had a fun day yesterday stamping. I promise, I did clean my stamping room up, found the counter and every thing, but after several cards I made, it's a mess again. LOL. I made this card for the sketch challenge over at The Sweet Shop and Sat. Challeges any thing goes and Cute Card Thursday -Celebrate. I am real thrilled at how this turned out! I used some Stampin Up designer paper from my scrap basket and I think one little piece is from Basic Grey. This is an old SU stamp from back in 1995, no I wasn't stamping then, I got this one at a yard sale, but I love it! The sentiment is also from SU set "Just Journaling". Now I am bad about swapping cases so I hope I got that right. Let me know if I didn't. Cause I look at it and think, that doesn't sound right. Anyway, I punched the flower out, attached it and ta da, it's finished. Oh yeah, I did use a Martha Stewart border punch. Okay, I'm off to the shower then work. Not to fear, I'm off tomorrow, LOL, crazy schedule, then I gotta work Sat., off Sun., work Mon., off Tue, work Wed. & Thur then back on schedule LOL. Yall have a stamping good old time today and I'll catch up later!!

Little Things


Good morning, look who slept in. I love being off work this morning. Here is a card I made this morning. I got a card from Vicki Dutcher Mon. and let me tell ya, it was gorgeous! My jaw really did drop. I knew I had to try and case it. Mine turned out nothing like hers but I tried. The dp is from Basic grey. I stamped the flowers from Stampin Up "Wonderful Watercolors" and "Happy Harmony" with both White Colorbox and Pink Passion. The Butterflies were punched out using pink Passion cs. The ovals of course were cut out using nesties. Okay, I'm gone, I have got to clean this messing room up so I can stamp and be able to move. It won't stay long but at least I'll be able to say I tried. Yall have a great day and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

God's Love


Happy Tuesday morning! Hope all is great in your part of the world. I'm running late this morning and don't know why LOL. Just finished this card this morning and almost didn't post it. I'm not happy with it at all! Maybe to much pink, wrong type of butter fly, I don't know. Made this for a friend of mine who is a little down and out. She doesn't know why, just not her self. Hopefully this card will let her know I do care. The dp is Basic Grey, butterfly is Martha Stewart and sentiment is form Inkadinkado. I used Stampin Up ink. Oh yeah, the bow easy helped make the bow. That's it for this morning, I gotta hit the shower and get to work. I'm off tomorrow so maybe I'll clean this room up and start all over LOL. Yall have a great day and God Bless!

Peaceful


Good Morning, It's really 5:43 AM but the clock says 6:43 AM, man, now it'll take weeks to get used to the time change. DH & me went to Mt. Airy (home of Mayberry) last night out to eat and movies. We saw Alice in Wonderland. Pretty good, I love 3D movies lol. Before we left I had been in here playing, since I had my Stampscape stamps out, I decided to make another card with them then put them back up. I stamped the images first, Lakeside Cove #049G, then Tree Trunk Trio #088F, then added a few leaves with Grateful Leaves by Hero Arts. Then sponged in a little YoYo Yellow, and finished it off with Marvelous Magenta. I used a green & brown marker from Stampin Up and shaded the rocks and grass. I really like the way this one turned out and hope you do too. Thanks for dropping by. happy Stamping!

Gone Fishing


Second post so far,please scroll down to see the first post. Hope all is wonderful in your part of the world! This is a card I made for the challenge at Crazy for Challenges, make a Manly card. Most of you know I LOVE stampscapes, so here is what I came up with. I can not find the name or number on this stamp, it is a stampscapes but maybe I have used it so much I have wore it off, I also used Tree Cluster sm. 266D, Winter Grass 304A and the man fishing is from Sutter Enterprize D-884. I started with glossy paper, stamped all images with stazon, then using Stampin Up inks I sponged around until I got the look I was looking for. The top (sky) kinda looks green in a way but I promise the only inks I used were blues, yellow and black. But blue and yellow do make green LOL. Hope you like my card, thanks for dropping by! Happy Stamping!

Happy Easter

Good Morning. Lots of rain but I thank the Good Lord it's not snow. Opps, I said the dirty word LOL. Every time I write LOL I can't help but think of Linda P. At one time she thought it meant Loads of Love. I can just image her typing that on messages and people wondering why in the world did she put LOL. LOL, love that woman. This is a card I made yesterday for the challenge over at Stampin B's. To make a Easter or Spring card. How awesome is that! I used SU card stock. My new punches from Martha Stewart, (love em!), Lovely Lables from Nina Brackett over at STV. The ribbon is some I got on a basket of flowers some years back and I cut some off to make this bow. Hey, I can also enter this in Gina K.s challenge to use some thing from our closet. Yeah!!!! How cool is that. Well that's it for now. Hopefully I'll get to play some today so I may be back. thanks for dropping by, I do so appreciate it and your wonderful comments. I am blessed with you my wonderful blogging buddies!

Good morning. Hope all is well and happy for you this Tue. morning. No snow like they said so that's a good thing.
I got the set of stamps from Creative Vision last week and just had to ink it up. Every now and again I need a Sympathy card so made this one to have on hand. The set is "Arms of Jesus". Comes with 10 stamps, I love her stamps and must be honest, got another one ordered LOL. I used sage shadow and embossed it with the Demask folder. After stamping the sentiment cut it out with a nestie label, ran ribbon through that and added 3 pearls. The image I colored with SU markers then cut out with a Nestie also. The Big Shot got a work out with this card LOL. Hope you like, It's off to the shower then to work I go. It'll be a easy day today, I'm teaching CPR to reserts so it'll go fast. Have a wonderful day and Happy Stamping!

Tulips




It's Magical Monday! Today on There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cup Cakes, Patti is the Host. She ask us to use any image we have acquired from TMITA/PCC and this sketch. We can stretch it, rotate it, reverse it etc. as long as the original sketch can still be seen. I used Tulips. It makes me think Spring, Easter, warm weather, well you get the picture LOL. I colored it using pencils and OMS. Added some Stickles and used a Gold Marker from Pilot around the oval. The card stock is from Basic Grey June Bug and the white is Gina K. I also added 3 pearls to finish off my card. Don't forget to go visit the other blogs of the design team. They are all just fantastic!! Thanks for taking time to drop by, I really do appreciate it and your comments. Have a wonderful day and until the next time Happy Stamping!
