Resist Card

I know I haven't posted any cards for awhile, just been busy with life, and my Muse took a little vacation too! lol Anyway, this card is for a resist swap I am in. Just wanted to share something, as it's been too long since I have posted! lol Excuse my terrible cropping on this card! lol

Happy Holidays

This is one of the cards I made today. I just loved the retro look of the circle stamp. I think it's a new stamp, and it's from Stampendous. I used alot of glittering, sparkly embossing powders..lol..it's for Christmas, any excuse hey? lol

TFL Ladies!

More Christmas Cards

Morning! lol

Here are a couple more Christmas cards that I have done in the past little while. I tried to take pics cause they are 3d, and you lose that in scans, but I have to say, I really need to learn how to use my camera properly! lol....So, back to scanning! lol..my scanner leaves shadows on white, so excuse the lines!...you will get the general idea!

I taught a class yesterday, and it was awesome! The ladies cards all turned out so beautifully, they seemed very happy with them, and they all seemed to have fun! I love it when a class goes smoothly! After class, I had to go shopping, and came home with some great new goodies! I am going to play all day today! lol

Have you all seen the papers from Cosmo Cricket? Well, if you haven't, check them out! I just love the "WANTED" line! I picked up the collection yesterday, and some extras that I know I will use alot.

And the new Stampers Anonymous stamps are very cool! Especially some of Tim's newer ones! And the size of them...wow...huge! I picked up the Paris map, and it's huge! Will way more than cover the standard cardfront! They are like the Stampin' Up! background size! It's nice to buy a background stamp that actually fills the whole background! lol

Well, have a great day everyone! Hoping to have more to post this afternoon!!
Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Halloween

Ok, I have to admit, I have never made a Halloween card before! lol...I even had to borrow a stamp to do one! (Thanks Mindy!). So here is the card I made....I had a hard time even making this! This scan isn't the best, the colours aren't true.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone! Have a spooktacular day!

New Santa Stamp

I just received this Santa stamp and played with it a bit today. You can't tell in the scan but there is a light touch of pink in his cheeks and lips, shows up in person! lol...

Thanks for looking ladies!

Hope your having a wonderful day!

I'm back!

Hi Everyone!

I am finally back I think! lol....we have gotten all moved, everything is hooked up, and my stamping room is awesome! Lots of light, and much more room! Yesterday a g/f came over and we spent the afternoon stamping! I have been making cards for classes I am teaching in New Glasgow, but I made one card yesterday just because! lol....The fairy stamp is from The Stamping Ground, sentiment from Stampers Anonymous. I stamped her on glossy, then used phototwin marker with watercolor paint brush to paint her in. I don't know why I cut it oval, I wish I hadn't, but I guess it turned out alright? Anyway, I just wanted to have something to share with you all! Lol...I have neglected my blog for a couple weeks, and want to get back into the swing of things!

Thanks for visiting ladies, and for all your wonderful comments! I sure enjoy looking at all your blogs as well! Thank you for sharing!!

Have a wonderful day!

Winged Things Swap

Urgh....these looked so cool in my head, and now that I have made 2 of each of these, I am not thinking I like them so much! lol.. What can you do! I am hosting a swap for winged things cards, and I just wanted to try something different! I still think they look a bit bare? Do they need something else? Let me know if you have any suggestions!! TFL!!

Best Friends

I had the hardest time putting this card together! It took a couple days? lol....I haven't been stamping much, but I did get my room all cleaned and organized! So now maybe I will feel like stamping more! I am going to do a bit tonight, so maybe I will have something else to post then!
TFL Ladies!!!

Naughty/Nude Swap

I made this card for a swap I hosted called Naughty/Nude Swap. The cards were wonderful! I am thinking everyone had alot of fun doing them! I sure did! I really like the bright vivid colors on this card. Will upload more later today! TFL!

Saturday Challenge!

Before I go do a few things and start stamping, I thought I would issue a challenge to anyone who checks my blog today! lol....Use a stamp you have never used before! I know we all have plenty of those in our stashes! So lets see what we can do! I will be doing this today and will upload my card when it's done!

Have fun Ladies!!!

Update: I am so bad! It's Wednesday now and I have finally finished my card for Saturday! lol...What can I say...I just wasn't inspired!

This stamp was given to me by my best friend Holly, for my birthday in June! And I hadn't used it yet! So here is my card! The image is from Rubber Romance, I just love their Diva images!

Every Step you take...

Another card using Paperbag Studios and Purple Onion Designs, kinda meant to go along with the baby shoes and card! Same color theme anyway! Just thought I would share with you!

Back to stamping!

Just playing around...

I know I should try the Faux Postage technique, but for now this is as far as I will get! LOL...The main stamp is from Stampland, and the letter as well. Background from SU, and numbers from Ma Vinci! Not my usual colors to work with, as you can probably tell by now! But it was fun to make! TFL!!!

Sweet Pea Card and Mary Jane Shoes

I decided to try something I have never done before! Work with a dimensional template! lol...It was alot easier than I thought it would be! The shoes are from a template by Stampington. The Sweet Pea card is done using main image from Paperbag Studios, and Purple Onion Designs. The shoes are done with K. and Co. papers and Purple Onion Designs paisley stamp. And of course Primas! Gotta love those flowers! lol... I submitted this set to a magazine for a Baby theme, but it wasn't used. I have to admit I am getting very discouraged, but in all honesty, the magazine I had been submitting to doesn't have alot of stamping in it, and is more a cutesy style. I have submitted a huge envelope to Stampington though, am hoping they might think some of my work may be good enough for one of their magazines? I guess you just never know until you try, right? lol I think as a stamper, this is one of the hardest things to do, submit! Any words of wisdom from anyone? Any hints or tips? lol

Thanks Ladies!

Some of my favorite cards and Atc's.

I was just going thru my scans, and found these cards, they are some of my favorites, so I thought I would share with you! I stamped a few things today, but haven't finished any of them yet! I ended up goofing around on the computer! Guess I should finish up those cards soon! lol I am doing a small series, of Cowgirl/Cowboy cards! They are fun cards! Hopefully they will be uploaded this evening!

Hope your all having an inspiring day today!

I just couldn't sleep tonight!

Well, I tried to go to sleep...my body is tired, but my mind just doesn't want to stop, so I finally got up and did a bit of stamping! Maybe now I will be able to sleep! I think I best stop reading stamping magazines in bed....LOL They just get me thinking and planning what I want to try the next day.....and I can't sleep! I am turning into a night owl! So here is what I did come up with tonight...the main image is from Stampsmith, it's a photostamp. Background is the most awesome scrapbook paper from Cosmo Cricket...I LOVE this stuff! Then I used a scroll from Purple Onion Designs and the sentiment is from SU! I am off to bed....sweet dreams to everyone!

Thank you!

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to thank the people that come to look at my blog and to those who leave comments! It's all very much appreciated!! It's so nice to hear what others think of your work....

I am hoping to get some stamping done this afternoon, so hopefully I will be posting some more cards later today!

Thanks Everyone!!!!!!

My First Scrapbook Page

On one of the groups there was a challenge issued to make a scrapbook page about yourself. So I thought about it, and figured, why not! lol....I have never scrapbooked before, and this was a huge challenge! That is alot of space to cover! lol Anyway, here is my page, the colors didn't scan properly and I did end up inking the edges but haven't rescanned yet...maybe later! Be gentle with me.....remember it's my first! lol I think I am going to be sticking to stamping though, I find it alot more relaxing.

Ever make a card you just aren't sure about?

Well, I do it all the time! lol...But today I did this card, and have honestly redone it about 3 times! Sometimes I just don't know when to leave well enough alone! lol....This was done for a magazine challenge. We were asked to pick out any card out of a stamping magazine and do our own take on the card. Now, the only thing this card seems to have in common with the one I picked out anymore, is the ribbon on the bottom, and the color scheme! lol...That is how much I have changed it! And to top it all off, I thought I would try my hand at stitching again, and I didn't have the same luck! Oh well, I did try to cover up my biggest mistakes! LOL

Does everyone else experience this? Or do I just get to carried away with trying to make things perfect and then they get ruined? LOL

Have a great evening!! :)

I Miss You

I have been missing my best friend Holly so much, that I thought I would make her a card tonight! It's been awhile since I have sent her anything, and she has been spoiling me with her beautiful cards lately! So it's time! lol I also am doing a challenge with a lady from another board and the challenge was to use the main image stamp, by Paperbag Studios! So I made 2 cards pretty much the same, just the sentiment is different! I have been in a bit of a rut lately...trying to pull myself out and start creating more often! Urgh....I guess it happens to everyone! lol Have a great long weekend everyone!!
