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.

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!

The yellow, pink and green are card stock from a local print shop in Galax. My dear wonderful friend Pam gave me some of it last weekend while she was here. It just yells spring. The flowers are some I got for my birthday. I punched the leaves out with a MS punch, the bordered punch is from SU as well as the sentiment.

Roses

Good Morning!! Hope everyone is well and happy. Last year when Stamp TV started, I got to know several ladies, we formed a little group we called Roses. Sue W.,Kerrie M., Kym W., Connie L., Betty B., and myself decided to start our own monthly challenge. Sue picked this month and we were to make a Thank You card for Gina K. and her staff. It's just a small way to say thanks for all they have done. I don't know about everyone else but I do know I have learned so much and my card making has gotten better than it was a year ago. Any way, I used Gina K. card stock, A Year of Flowers stamp set, MS corner and border punch and 2 small buttons. This will go out in the mail in the morning. Hope you like my little easel card. Thanks for dropping by and yall have a good one!

I Don't Think So

Flowers for You

It's FIRDAY! I made it through another week at work. LOL. It's cold but no ugly stuff out there.

I made this card last night for Sketch Girl Challenge. It's a free image from Harding Designs called "Flowers for You". Isn't she adorable! I colored it using pencils and OMS. The design paper is from Basic Grey June Bug. Placed the flower n the corner and that finished it off. Now that's a fast card but you know what, I love it! It looks like spring, shes even bare footed LOL. Yall stay warm and thanks fro taking time to drop by. Happy Stamping..............

Smile

Morning, I guess we got about an inch of snow last night. It snowed off and on all day yesterday but no accumulation. They still talking dirty about getting more. The Northeast are really in for it. My heart goes out to them!

Ever do a card you just weren't sure about? Well here is one of mine. In a way I like it, then again I think trash it. It's for Vicki's color challenge Dark Brown, Sage, and White over at Scrapbooking and Crafting Friends. If you haven't been there go check em out. I used SU card stock and although you can't see it I used my scor-pal and scored around the Sage, then cut the brown out with the Shapeabilities pendants. Ran some ribbon through it and stamped the sentiment from a clear stamp I have with no name. That's it. Thanks for taking time to drop by to look, hope you like and ya'll have a wonderful day!!

I'm Here For You

Good Morning. It was a lot warmer yesterday and a lot of the snow is gone! But the mean old weather man said we may get some more today. he's so mean LOL.

this is another card I made Friday while Parke and Pam were here. It's made out of scrap paper and I'm thinking it's all from SU. I know the sentiment is, it's from the set "Herb Expressions". The butter fly is a Martha Stewart. I punched the flower out with a SU punch, the frame is from the die Demask. I embossed the brown with the folder Demask also. That's it this morning. Gotta get my shower and off to work I go. Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

It's for Penny's Birthday Cahllenge.Went up to Becky's Sat. to have a look see at all her goodies she had ordered and she also showed me a card she had made and I came back home and tried it. Only difference is she had velum on hers and I don't. how easy is this, I stamped the grass from Stampin Up "Inspired by Nature", then punched out the little brown slots from the SU Slot punch and glued them on. Happy Birthday sentiment is from a clear stamp with out a name. All card stock is from Stampin Up also. Hope you like, it's another manly card LOL.

The word is stampin up also and I punched it out with the Window Punch. Added ribbon and a couple of green gems to finish it off. Nina May has added 25 more great gorgeous images to her store.

I mainly used scarp paper from my basket except the base of the card..Punched the side with a Martha Stewart border punch, added ribbon Selma sent me for my BD with a buckel I got some where awhile back. Colored the image from Serene Spring (Stampin Up) with SU markers. Thanks for taking time to drop by, I really do appreciate it and your comments. Have a wonderful day!

Believe

Good Morning. We had fun yesterday, I finished up making 3 cards, so did Parke, Pam well I'm not sure what she did, I do know she punched some flowers out. All and all it was a great day. this is the card I made for Color Dare. To be honest with you when i first read the colors we were to use I said out loud to myself, how ugly. But man, they do go together so good! I hadn't finished this card but maybe 30 minutes and my daughter came in and took it. She loved it too. Anyway, I was to use Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Pale plum and Basic Black. I used a Martha Stewart border punch at the bottom and added black ribbon and bow. The base of my card is the Pale Plum. All paper is from Stampin Up. Thanks for taking time to drop by, hope you like my card. Until the next time, Happy Stamping!!

Jill

Good Morning....This card is for Mo's challenge. I am to use my favorite image, (Jill) one layer and may use ribbon. I absolutely love this image. She reminds me of my GD Stella so much. She told me once she was a Diva so when I ran across this in my ribbon basket it just jumped out at me LOL. I also used my scor-pal and added lines around it. The yellow is colored with Stickles, then of course Stampin Up markers.

My second card is one I have wanted to try for awhile and finally got around to it. I found the instructions on how to at SCS here. I was amazed how easy it was. A Shadow box card. I used the image my dear and wonderful friend MaryAnne Stamped out and sent me, the purple is from Gina K. I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the sides, and there's that butterfly punch with no name again LOL. Added 3 little pearls to finish it off. I'll be making more of these now that I see how easy they are. Thanks for taking time to drop by. I really do appreciate it and your comments. Parke and Pam are coming over today and we gonna play. Both are great friends who I work with plus stamping buds. Parke is also my boss, but not when we play LOL.

Dream

This is my second post this morning, who knows I could be back with more later LOL. I made this card for 2 challenges, first is a sketch challenge at Andrea's Sketch, check it out!!! I just found it thanks for Sue! The second challenge is for "Fun For Challenges" colors to use were Gray, Pink and Purple. Be sure and check her blog out too! Again thanks Sue. I used Stampin Up card stock Going Gray and pretty in Pink, which I embossed using the Demask folder. The purple is from Gina K. which I punched out the butterflies with a punch I have had for a long time and it doesn't have a name on it. The sentiment is one I got from Michael's for a dollar from Hampton Art. Added ribbon and 3 little pearls to finish it off. I love the way it turned out and hope you do too!

Bright Colors

Good Morning.....I know I'm late LOL.

This is a card I made for Vicki's color challenge over at Scrapbook & Crafting Friends. Be sure and check them out! I used white for the base and a piece of printed purple from my scrap box, I punched the corners with a Martha Stewart corner punch on the dp and purple. I also embossed the purple with the Demask folder. The dark purple and yellow are form Gina K.'s autumn pack. For my birthday I got me (don't ya love it when we do that) the Shapeabilities pendants. So I used that and cut out the yellow. Oh yeah the center purple also. Placed a purple heart in the center of that and it's complete. I love how it turned out. I think it bright, colorful, and just yells spring or Easter. hope you all have a wonderful day and Happy Stamping!

Challenge Notebook

Good morning, it's another cold day here in southwest VA. But at least they aren't calling for snow today!

Here is a book I covered. I got the idea and measurements from Gina K. over at StampTV. If you want them it's on the main page called Journal part 1 & 2. Gina does a great job telling us how to make different things. I used Stampin Up 12x12 double sided card stock. The Green ribbon is some I got from Michael's awhile back. Typed the word and then cut it out with a oval nestie. It was really easy to make and hope you like. Yall have a great day and thanks for taking time to drop by, I really do appreciate it and your comments!

No Stamping

Good Morning! Gonna be a fast post, sorry, gotta get to work this morning........
I started by using the blue template you see in the lower left corner, poked all the holes,(this took a few minutes LOL) cut the oval out using the nestie, punched the Daisey's out and pop dotted them together, attached to the oval and Ta Dah, oh yeah, I did add ribbon and blue gems. This is really a fast and easy card. Hope you like and yall have a wonderful day!! think bout me while I'm working hard today LOL.

My Cup of Tea

Good morning! Hope everyone is well and happy. Had a wonderful Valentines Day with DH and my daughter came by. My Son called and said Miss Stella won another Beauty pageant. When I talked with her I ask her if she had a good Valentines Day and she remind me it was her birthday, she turned 3 on Friday. She's gonna be like Nana and celebrate all month LOL.

On to my card:

Selma Stevenson brings us this week's challenge. She wants you to use any Paper Cupcake's image you have acquired and also wants to see you use lace (either paper punched or real) and a circle (the main image and/or greeting stamped in a circle). I decided to use the image My Cup of Tea. I used a Martha Stewart border punch to make my lace, then I placed 2 different ribbons down the middle of it. Colored my image in using Stampin Up markers. Card stock is also SU. Added white pearls and dotted around the circle using a marker. The circle is punched out with a Nestabilities. Hope you like my card and decide to play along with our challenge this week. Don't forget to check out the DT's cards , they are all fantastic! Here is what you can win for this week’s random drawing for whoever participates in this weeks challenge and links their work back to TMITA/PCC. We would love it if you play along!

Thanks for dropping by, I really do appreciate it and your wonderful comments! Until next time Happy Stamping!!

You only Live Once

Good Morning. Well the sun is shinning bright but......no grass and they are saying more snow in the morning. Come on, give us a break already LOL. Here is a card I did for the challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges. To make red the main point of the card. I think I have done this. The flower image is the stamp my dear friend Mary Anne sent me for my birthday! The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Fifth Avenue Floral that I borrowed from Pam yesterday during our stamp playday. I have this embossing folder and thought that was what I was going to do, but maybe later LOL. I am woman and can change my mind, it's the LAW LOL. I used my scor-pal to create the background. I'm practicing for Selma's challenge over at STV. I also added the gems that came with the stamp set she gave me, ribbon is from Michael's.

I gave Bill (my DH) his Valentine card this morning and later he showed me one I have given him about 3 or 4 years ago. The first picture is from 1992, man how we have changed, we looked so young and now.....well we can't decide who caused who to age LOL. I say he did and he says I put every grey hair on his head LOL. NOT. Well, I plan on a very lazy day today and plan on watching Nascar later, poor Jr. he wrecked yesterday and it wasn't his fault, so I'm really pulling for him today. Yall have a great Valentines day and Happy Stamping!

Wonderful Wings

Good morning! I'm telling myself it is going to be a great day! I'm sure of it!! This is a card I made for LaLaLand, not to use dp. I could emboss or embellish anyway but no dp. I used Stampin Up embossing folder to emboss the Orchid Opulence cs that I attached to the Marvelous Magenta. I went around the edge with a pilot god Marker and dotted the center of the flowers with it. I then used Black Color Box and black embossing power to stamp and cut out the butterfly from Stampin Up Wonder Wings butterfly. I used some gold wire to make the antenna's and attached them to the butterfly. Using Scor tape attached it to the card. It's a clean and simple card but hey, sometimes that's all ya need. I didn't finish the inside because right now I'm not sure what I will do with this card. It really could be for anything. thanks for taking time to drop by, hope everyone has a great day...........Happy Stamping!!

Mummu & Virginia

Good Morning everyone! I saw something yesterday I hadn't seen for a long time. I wondered for a few minutes what in the world is it? Then one of my Co-Workers figured it out, it was the SUN! LOL. It was so pretty. We need sunshine so bad!

My card is another Mo's Image I purchased with the coupon Kym gave me for my birthday. I colored it in using pencils and OMS. The base of my card and the brown is from Stampin Up. The piece I punched is out of the scrap basket. Added 3 buttons I got for my birthday from my secret pal who is by the way (I'm pretty sure) is either Parke or Olivia. LOL, it's fun trying to guess. I will go on record to say I have been wrong once, last year at church I was way off! But most of the time I guess right hehe. I may be 60 but I love little games like this, makes ya feel like a little girl again. Well guess I'll grow up now, I have house work to do today, ouch! It's a dirty job but someone has to do it right? the maid never does show up LOL. Thanks for taking time to drop by and have a look. I appreciate it and your comments. Have a wonderful blessed day and until the next time, happy Stamping!!

Mummu's Laundry

Good Morning, the wind is still strong here but not as bad as it was yesterday, I was afraid a time or two it was gonna pick me up and take me away LOL.
Here is another card I made Sat. The image is Mummu's Laundry from Mo's Pencil. Card stock in from Stampin Up. I colored her in using SU markers. Cut the image out using a nestability and the side is punched using a Martha Stewart border punch. Applied tiny buttons I got for my birthday from my Secret Pal. Not much work but I think it turned out pretty good..With that long white hair and the way she is build, it reminds me of my Grandma years ago, she died back in June of 1983, she was 96 and one of the sweetest women I have ever known. Well ya'll stay warm, kinda hard to do this time of year but do your best hehe. Until the next time, Happy Stamping!!

Butterflies

Good Morning. Well I'm feeling a bit better and I am going to work. I keep telling myself "I feel Good, I feel Great!" LOL. Lets see if that mind over matter works LOL. Thanks for every one's well wishes.

I made this card yesterday. It's another one where there is no stamping or coloring. Just punch the layers out and layer them how easy is that! I used Gina K. Ivory as the base of my card then black that I embossed with the Textile folder. Found a piece of peach looking CS in my basket and cut the oval frame out. Added the butterflies then placed pearls around the oval. It still needed some thing so I added pearls in 2 of the corners. Thanks to Selma I think I found an easier way of putting my name on the cards. Yes Selma, this was so much easier than what I was trying. Thanks! Thanks for dropping by to look, I do appreciate it and your wonderful comments. Lets go get a shower as I know it's gonna take longer to get ready cause I'm old and slow this morning LOL. Ya'll have a great day and Happy Stamping!!!

With Sympathy

I am trying my best to feel better. I have even been 1/2 way PLAYING. This is no stamping other than the sentiment. It's for a lady who lost her husband over the weekend, so sad.

The flowers come on a sheet labeled 1,2,3,4 etc. you just break them apart then using 1/8 pop foam layer them together. I love them and have lots. Every time I go to Enchanted Cottage I get 2-3 sheets just to have on hand for times like this. I just sent some one a couple for her birthday, so hope she likes them too. I did emboss the green around to edges and cut the frame out with the Damask frame set. Added 3 white peral and that finished it off. hope you like my card,

You do Know

Morning. Well I didn't make it to work yesterday and not going today either. Guess I'm sicker than I thought. Just laying around sleeping. I made this card Sunday. It was stamped,(by my pal Patti) then I scanned it in the computer, added the words and printed it out. It's a bit smaller than the original, I used a Nestability to cut it out. used a Martha Stewart butterfly border punch to get the bottom part, added ribbon and pearls. Also used the Damask embossing folder on the Blue card stock. Which is all from Stampin Up. I colored it in using pencils and OMS. Hope you like my card. I'm gonna lay back down, let's pray I get to feeling better today. Enough already! happy Stamping!
