Stella Marie

Happy Tuesday! Hope all is well and happy. I am just thrilled I get to get out in the cold, wind and snow again today and go to work. LOL. I am really thankful to have a job but me being silly. We don't have any snow compared to those up north, Oh My Stars! So here is a nice warm spring time page of Miss Stella. I am entering this one at Soul Scrapers challenge of who means the world to you. This picture was taking about a year and half ago and I'm just now getting around to working on it. I am so far behind in scrapbooking it's not even funny. Again I used K&Company paper, 12x12, Heartfelt Creations open falling leaves and daisies. There is a piece of ribbon at the bottom under the flowers. I stamped the words, I got those stamps in a kit I purchased a few years back at Charlotte Scrap Book Convention. Forget who it was but no matter. Okay, lets hit the shower, yall have a great day, stay safe and warm!

Life

Hello, hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I sure did!
Here is a page I did for the sketch challenge over at Soul Scrapers. I love the sketch, I used K & Company 12x12 paper, punched the flowers & leaves out using different punches, the butterfly was punched out and embossed using Cuttlebug's Butterflies folder. That's it for now, lets go watch it snow some more.........

Merry Merry Christmas!!!

Wed. at Heartfelt Creations

Here is a card I made for this week at Heartfelt Creations. I absolutely love all their flower stamps and dies. I let the paper from Webster's Pages Garden Gala do the most work. I stamped the image with Versa Mark then heat embossed with White. Stamped 21 of the smallest posies and colored those in using chalks. Using the die cut those out and shape a little then glued them on. Added Brown Gala Glitz to the center of each flower that I added. Stamped the leaves, sponged the edges and cut those out and glued them on. Added ribbon and a simple bow to finish it off. Using a White Pigment ink pen, I made dots all the way around it. The products I used were:

HCPC 3302 Lilacs/Posy Bouquet

HCPC 3303 Posy Patch Flowers

HCPC 2254 Leafy Swirls

HCD 701 Posy Patch Die

Hope you enjoyed my card, be sure and check out the rest of the design teams cards/projects this week at Heartfelt Creations.

Quiet Time

What a week! Gotta work today and tomorrow then I'm off until Monday.
Here is a card I made tonight which will be a male birthday card, it's a 5x5. I bought this image off ebay about a year ago, it's stampscapes just not sure which one. She had heat embossed and sent me 5, think I have 2 left. I colored it in using Stampin Up markers and ink pads. The paper is from stampin up and Webster's Pages. Short and sweet but I am so sure you understand being it's the time of year it is. That's it for now, guess I'll get ready for work now. Have a blessed day and I'll catch ya later!

Yes I am Spoiled

Thought I'd jump back on here and let yall know Mama is stamping!!!!
See how Dad picks on me, mom had me covered up so I would stay warm and then here comes trouble, but I know he loves me, but it's mom who spoiled me LOL.
Thanks for chatting today Lucky, Baxter and Sparkey Do, hope Santa is good to you too! I got more toys coming lol,

Toys!

Morning, thought I would let you all know Mama didn't stamp this weekend cause she was cleaning house, shopping, cleaning house, making candy, cleaning house and then yesterday while my brother Charlie and his wife Julie oh yeah Lola my cousin was here, Santa dropped by and look what I got!!!!! So far I've done okay, a new bed and now a new toy. Can't wait to see what I get next! Hopefully Mama will back tonight, she has to work today so not sure what she'll do. Anyway, I'm going outside now, don't wanta get in trouble so close to time for the big guy to come back. Think I like the Fat man LOL.

You have go to get over there and check this out!!!!!! Easy easy easy and with such fantastic prizes!!!!

I Believe in You

Good morning! Man we had ice yesterday! But when I looked out this morning I don't think we got any more, cars are back flying up and down the road! Am I ready for spring or what. To prove it here's a flower. I absolutely LOVE working with these stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations. You know I do, even way before I was lucky enough to be on the design team I loved making cards with their products. With this one (5x5) I used Stampin Up designer paper, 5 gold stickers at the bottom, the sentiment is from HCPC 3304 Posy Patch Swirls and the flower is HCPC 3301 Hydrangea/Posy Branch and HCPC 3303 Posy Patch Flowers. I stamped the flower first then stamped 27 of the smallest and after coloring those I cut them out using the matching die HCD 701. The dies make it so much faster and you're done cutting in no time! And with the arthritics in my hands I'm just not able to hold scissors and cut like I use to. Okay, that's it for now. Gotta work today, we are having a Christmas Dance for the residents so I'll go in at 4PM today and work til around 9PM. Who knows, I may get up and boogie LOL!

Wednesday at Heartfelt Creations
