WINGS OF SUMMER

Good day my friends!

warm weather on tap as the lazy days of summer stroll to an end. todays sketch on SCS is awesome, lots of layers, lots of fun! the deets can be found here: SC243. If you find the time, try to play along ~ it's fun!!

I finally bought some nestabilities ( labels three)

and embraced my image with a layer of them, and the main image is a LOCKHART stamp colored with prisma markers and covered with a coating of Aleen's Glaze for paper.

the papers are cuttlebug embossed with the swiss dots folder and the bottom layer is a fiskars punch. all the papers are from my scrap pile, i believe most are Stampin up, and the ribbon is from michaels.

thanks for stopping by ~ i hope you liked the challenge card! (click on the card for a closer view)

WILD ABOUT YOU

good morning! it has been a crazy week here. the humidity and
the heat have been very taxing. last night we had strong thunderstorms roll through. hoping the terribleheat will disappear.


i haven't any air conditioning and i stamp in my living room, so with the heat, the ceiling fans were all
on high. yesterday i finally got to stamp,without all my things blowing around.

i combined two challenges on SCS, the sketch challenge :SC242, and the limited supply challenge ( make a manly card) here:LSC234.

I used patterned paper from stampin up, and the image is also from stampin up.i stamped the lion with a spectrum stamp pad, stamped a second face, cut it out, used dimensional glaze and popped it to give dimension.
i used my cuttlebug and swiss dot folder on the blue strip, and paper pierced around the red.
thanks so much for stopping by!
hope it's cool where you are!

stamps: Stampin Up Wild About You, Stampin up papers, stampin up spectrum pad (pumpkin patch) dimensionals, Aleene's Glaze

cuttlebug and swiss dot folder.

HONEY DO...

Good Morning!

I played the SCS challenge LSC233

this morning and it was a fun

one!

with summer winding down, we had to

make a card that reflected our

summer activity.

Well, this summer was a "honey do" summer.

honey do this, honey do that!

lots of small repairs that fell by the wayside

and painting etc... so it was a very productive

summer!

my card is a great little stamp set from OUR CRAFTS LOUNGE

called Nailed IT. i love the variety of the set,

and it can be found here :http://www.ourcraftlounge.net/

if you get the opportunity ~ check them out!

My paper is Basic grey, the little brads look like screws and

i forget where i picked them up from

i am leaning towards Ellen Hutson)

thanks for stopping by!

have a great weekend!

i am babysitting my 5 month old

grandson, so time is sparce for the computer!

‘Your Next Stamp 1st Design Team Call’

good morning!

Today my blog is an application for a Design Team entry. Do i think i am ready? YES!

Do i think i am qualified? Maybe! (a girl has to start somewhere!)

So i started a blog. that was HUGE for me.

i am passionate about my cards, i have created scrapbooks

for my family, i am passionate, hard working and committed.

(not the insane asylum committed) :)

i am posting two of my cards that i feel best showcase my ability.

the first is a cute little image from Rubber Stampede

(you can click on the photo to enlarge for details). i used a cuttlebug folder and inked it, then embossed, the little bees have sparkly wings

and the other paper is Basic grey. i pierced the sides and the spout,

and colored with aqua blenders

and reinkers of Stampin up grey, cranberry, safron and black.

the second card is from Whipper Snapper and that little frog is too cute!

i colored with prisma pencils and gamsol, i popped the flower and the

main image in dimensionals and the paper is from Deja VU.

Well, this is me ~ all exposed, and ready to be decided upon.

i hope that my passion shows thru, my love and delight in card making shows,

and while i am scared sometimes to attempt "new " i do forge ahead

and try.

thanks SO MUCH for stopping by.

I Hate heat...

i really have to say that i don't "glisten"
like commercials say when it's hot. i hate heat. i hate
sweating and all that is involved with sweating.
my point of this is NO card making today.
i have my ceiling fans on turbo, strong enough to
pin my cat against the dining room wall, thus all my
card paraphernalia would be blowing around
similiar to the tornado scene from The Wizard of Oz.
aren't ya glad ya stopped by?!
