Suhweet....

....that is the only way I can describe this card... it just looks simply sweet to me. I'm typing this as I'm chewing on part of my display (the red one to be exact). That is one of my many vices...I love chewing gum. I bet you can guess what my other vices may be....bwahahahahaha !!!

I don't know the name of the techniques that I used... I stamped the images on velum and punched them out using my 5 petal punch, then I laid the punches upside on my foam pad and used my stylus to outline the petal, as you can see I wasn't trying to follow the lines exactly. I wanted the lines to show up when I flipped them right side up.

I even did some sewing on this one.....

supplies:

white cardstock

daisyd's dsp

velum

blue satin ribbon

Burst into Bloom stamp set

So Very stamp set

Inks - Riding Hood Red, Bordering Blue

Fun in the Sun!!!!

Another challenge....I just love doing the challenges...

It makes me try a different layout, techniques, anything that I would probably never think of doing. This one is for Paper Craft Planet, its the sketch challenge of the week, hosted by Diana.

I just love her blog...I get a giggle everytime I read it. You can hop on over there as soon as you get finished with mine...yes, you have my permission.... Bwahahahaha. Wow, that didn't sound like it held much water did, yeah I know, it doesn't here either. I also said water, ya get it, {giggle} the card, yeah look up, theres a water scene on the card silly... lame, I know!!!

Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this blogging thing...it took a while, but it seems to be getting a little easier, ooopppsss, better not say that too loud or the blog police will add something new that takes me months to figure out......

Easter time....

I know I'm jumping the gun a little, but I like to be prepared.... I made these little treat holders for my grandchildren.... They hold a Andi's candy, don't ya just love those....yummy. I just love that little chickie, isn't it adorable, and fun to color too!!!

Have been busy today, I picked up another table to use in my studio... I'm getting it together, slowly but surely. Maybe i will post pics of the finished studio one day, if i ever get it the way I want it!!!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend!!!

Hearts, hearts and more hearts....

...that is the theme for today at SCS limited supplies challenge.

Think I successed ??? I think I did an OK job....

This doesn't reflect my current state of love, (the question mark) ....

while I was making the card I kept hearing the song "Love Hurts" by Nazareth in my head.

Wow, that shows my age a bit...bwahahahaha!!!

I'm trying new things with my picture taking....how do you like it???, hopefully it will just get better and better... It helps that its a nice and sunny day here and I can use the natural lighting, even though its a little bit chilly at the moment (42 degrees), but the sun is a welcome sight...

Until tomorrow... bwhahaha ... that sounds like a tag line from a soap....

Anyway, until tomorrow when the stamped returns.....

My fairy godmother left something behind...

Wow two posts in one day...

I made this for the challenge today....had to use stars in some way...I was playing around with my stamp sets when I started wishing I had a fairy godmother to use her magic wand to bang me on the head to help me come up with an idea....This is the result of me getting banged on the head...maybe one time too many....bwahahahahaha

Buggy of love...

I just purchased this oldie set from another demo de-stashing and I love it.

You see I just recently became a demo and missed all these great sets that Stampin' Up! had previously. I just love the sets that are a little out of the norm, I mean, you can always buy stamps with flowers, animals, etc... But Stampin' Up! has some great ones that are just to adorable... so I'm always on the look out for cutesy/whimsical stamp sets.

The deets on this card are:

Kraft card stock

Black card stock

Making Memories DSP (Olivia Baroque)

Priceless and The Wheel thing stamp sets

Brads

white gel pen

Scallop circle punch

Versamark pad

Silver embossing powder

You can't really see it but I versamarked the shopping card and embossed it with silver and then I painstakingly cut out each little square with my exacto knife. Upclose I can see I could have spent a little more time on the cutting, oh well.

The hearts are made using the scallop circle punch....I didn't have a punch to use for the hearts, I know I need to purchase the new bundle, I will, I will.....anyway back to what I was saying.....

I punched a scallop out and found the center and poked a hole in it and then cut from the outside in to create 7 hearts.

Sweet card...

and its a "cutie"....

I received my 5 petal punch yesterday and couldn't wait to use it just to make this adorable lamb.

I just love making cute things from punches. This is not my design for the lamb, I totally case'd (copied and shared with everyone) it from another site (www.dawnsstampingthoughts.com)

Dawn has the cutest designs on there, you oughta check it out.

I said that I was going to make a more feminine card today, but I guess its still kinda manly, with the blue bow in his hair and all...
Can't you just see giving it to a mother to be at a shower for a little boy...too darn cute, even if I say so myself.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. It put a smile on my face today....

TFL & until later
