Enjoy the Journey

 

Today is my husbands birthday, and I always struggle to make a manly card.  This time for some reason it came together so fast and easily?  Not sure what is up with that, but I like it!  All stamps used on this card are from Stampers Anonymous, the Tim Holtz line that sells at Michaels.  I used 2 different brown ancient page inks, as well as their black, and did basic stamping.  The background paper is from Creative Imaginations.  I distressed the edges when I finished stamping.

I think I am going to stamp for awhile longer!  Thank you for stopping by today, I really appreciate it.  Have a wonderful evening.

My husband never reads my blog, but just in case, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Shapeabilities Pendant Card

 

I was to make a Christmas card for our stamping get together this evening, and I was looking at Becca’s Blog (Amazing Paper Grace).  Becca’s blog is incredible and I decided to make one of her pendant cards.  I used the Renaissance Hearts Pendant and one of the smaller pieces, then used the Borderabilities In Spades for the borders on the sides.  Click on Becca’s name to see the card that really inspired me.  Have a look around her blog as well, you will be inspired for sure!

There is hardly any stamping on this card, just the sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms.  It took me forever to make, and I wasted many pieces of paper! lol  But I think I finally got it in the end.  Thank you so much for the inspiration Becca!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Keeping Life in Perspective

I was blog hopping this morning, and came across this music video.  I was really moved and thought you may like to watch it as well.  It’s very touching…

I am busy today making a card for tonight stamping ladies get together, and it’s my DH birthday tomorrow!  Will share in awhile.

Have a wonderful day everyone and thank you for stopping by!

New Look, New Start

 

Good Morning!

I have been in a bit of a stamping slump the past few weeks, so I decided to give my blog a face lift, and now I am actually feeling inspired.  Funny how certain things can energize you.  Anyway, I am in my stamping room, and plan on staying in here for the better part of the day and create!  I sure hope I have something to share with you a bit later, as I have projects that are overdue and I really need to catch up!  Thank you for being so patient with me.

Have a wonderful day,

Life is a piece of cake…

I made another piece of cake box!  I am loving these boxes, they are just so pretty.  Kim from The Cutting Garden asked me to make one for her store, and she gave me all the supplies to use.  I just love the glittery paper, it’s from Doodle Bug!  What can I say, I love BLING!  All product used on this project can be found at Kim’s store.

The next card is also for Kim’s store.  She liked an owl card I had made previously, and asked if I would mind making one for her.  The inside of the card was fun to do!  I used my Silhouette to cut out the tree branch, leaves, and words.  I am finally using all my pieces on cards!  I have to say I have had a blast learning how to use this machine!  Now to use it all the time is another matter! lol

I was away last week as we were getting new flooring in our place.  I had made these before I left, but I couldn’t get to my camera to take pics!  I have lots more to share over the next few days.  Thank you so much for stopping by.
