Snowman fun

Good morning Stampers!

Well, can you tell a theme to this week's posts? This is another card from my upline Jan. Again, the Top Note Bigz Die was used - but just half of it. That means you could get two cards from it! I am all about getting the most out of my materials.
I think this is a very cute card, and could be used for about anything. Follow up thank-you for gifts, invitation to a holiday party, thinking of you, get well, etc.

The snowman is really cute and adds some fun to the card with his outstretched arms. Hmm. may have to go out and build a snowman.

As you are reading this..my exam week has ended and I am SO EXCITED to get down to my stamp room and actually put rubber to ink and paper! I hope the stamping mojo comes back quickly! But first....I need to get the tree up and decorated.

Happy Stamping!

Holiday Wishes - Enjoy

Good morning Stampers!

Well, with all the snow we are getting, I thought this card would be good to share today. This is another card shared by my upline Jan. She used the Top Note Bigz Die again and the Snowflake #2. The Snowflake #2 is die cut using SU! Ski Slope Designer Series Paper (DSP). The ribbon is from the Alpine spool which is brown felt. All of this can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
Hope you are keeping warm!

Happy Stamping!

Christmas list

Good morning Stampers!

This is my last week - exam week. I had high hopes that I would have presented my stats project with my group this past week, but the prof. nixed that one. Which means another week of looking at the project and fine tuning. Sometimes it is best just to get it out of your hands so you can move on.

Anyway, I am very aware that Christmas will be here in short time after next week. I thought I would post this cute idea that I received from my upline Jan. It uses the Top Note Bigz Die from SU! This is a really hot die because it keeps selling out and is on backorder again. SU! said that they are getting them in this week and will be shipping them out.

This would be fun to give to coworkers and children in a little bag of candy with a pen. Then they can make out their Christmas list. For children..it might be nice to limit them to their top ten "want" items!

Enjoy the snow and happy stamping!

No posts this week

Good afternoon Stampers!

I wanted to let you know that I will not get the chance to post any cards this week. I have two projects due and that means burning the midnight oil - unfortunately not to make cards.

I can tell you that I am getting a sneak peek to the 2009 Spring Idea book & catalog, hostess sets and Sale-a-bration mini catalog. Unfortunately, EVERY demonstrator is trying to get their sneak peek in so the website is running slow, or phoning in about the sold out Extravaganza bundles. Some of the bundles sold out quicker than I could blink. Today is the last day to order any of the Holiday Extravaganza bundles. I have already attempted to speak with a SU! representative regarding the Curly Label Punch bundle, but that is a hold of at least 10 minutes. - today.

As I learn things, I will post a comment.

Have a good week everyone!

Flower Power Birthday

Good morning Stampers!

Many of you were probably up before this card was posted! I hope you had a productive Black Friday and were able to purchase all those items you had on your list to get to the stores early!
I can tell you that I did not go out. I try to stay out of the way of you who are so determined!
My turn will come when my son is another year or two older. I will get to experience the "have to find that toy he has his heart set on". I cooked yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner, so this is my day to just kick back, for a little bit. School still goes on!

I made this background from the Flower Power set a while ago. It was just lying around, so I had an idea.

What I used:

SU! Sets: Flower Power, Lots of Notes - SAB '08

SU! Cardstock: Riding hood red, white.

SU! Ink: Baja breeze, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Riding hood red.

Other: Spellbinder dies - circle and scallop; Green layer of cardstock is Crate Paper - scrapbook paper. It was sitting on my table and since I have a hard time throwing things away...it got taped and adhered. It really was a painless process for the Crate paper - LOL.

Happy Stamping! And enjoy those leftovers if you were fortunate enough to get some!

Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning Stampers!

This is a card I actually did a couple years ago for a group. I meant to send them out last year, but time got away from me. I like to get cards out before the holiday, and for those who live in another state I want to send them out at least one week ahead of time. Well, it did not happen again this year. They were not sent out until Thursday of last week. I have several of these travelling to New York, so I told myself that it was okay if they received them the day or two after Thanksgiving. Better late than not at all. They wouldn't know I was thinking of them then.

Another super simple card. This was made using a retired set..and now I cannot think of it. I did not part with it for many years after it retired, but then looked at my shelves and decided I needed to thin out the sets.

I used the Kaleidoscope pad that SU! used to sell. I also used raffia ribbon to tie around the leaf.

The "Happy Thanksgiving" was typed on the computer using the SU! CD disc. I like the fact that I can come up with my own sayings if I want.

I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving!

Happy Stamping!

Let it Snow

Good morning Stampers!

I was inspired to make this card after our snowfall. After I left school to drive home Thursday night, I went from 50 mph down to 30 mph as I drove south! One would have thought the north would have been worse with the lake effect and all, but contre (or however the french spell this), the south was worse.

This is a super simple card. My brain cannot come up with anything other than that right now. You can expect simple cards from me for a while. I have a short break during Thanksgiving, but it isn't much of a break as I have projects to work on. Since Thanksgiving is late this year, instead of three weeks left of school, there are only two. Which means one week of classes, and the second week is finals week.

Colors I used: Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue and white - cardstock and inks.

I printed the "let it snow" on my computer using the Stampin' Up! font CD disc.

The background paper is from the swap I did with my friend, which increased my choices of DSP! It is not SU! DSP, but some that I needed to use.

I used the Spellbinders square and scallop dies.

The blue grosgrain ribbon actually does match the DSP, but for some reason it doesn't look like it in the picture.

I hope you all stayed warm over the weekend! We enjoyed our fireplace!

Happy Stamping!

Deer Friends Gift Card Tag

Good morning Stampers!

Another item from my Jan's care package. The stamp used is from Deer Friends - Hostess level 2. You can see the Scallop punch was used as well as the 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 punch for layering. Also, the Designer Series Paper - Ski Slope was used in the background. Love the Ski Slope DSP!
I highly recommend it because all the papers in this set are gorgeous!


When you open the tag...this is where you can put your gift card for giving!

I hope you all had a good weekend! Now it is back to the grindstone, but at least it is a short week. Four for some, three days for others. Enjoy!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning Stampers!

I have another card to share that I received from my upline Jan in her care package to me.
I forget sometimes how simple a card can look. I like the monotone look they used. The harvest stamp in chocolate chip on kraft paper. Then Designer series paper punched using the scallop punch, verse in 1 1/4 punch and choc chip in 1 3/8 punch. All to give it a layered effect. I think it is nicely done. You can still get make some quick Thanksgiving cards and send them out. That is what I will be doing today!

Happy Stamping!

Season of Friendship

Good morning stampers!



Thought I forgot about you did you? Nope, no way. My friend commented to me the other day, "you said on your blog that we would 'see' you on Wednesday". Well, today is Wednesday - technically not a week ago Wednesday, but Wednesday none the less. I am in the last four weeks of school and it is just crunch time. Thankfully for me, my upline Jan sent me a care package and I am going to share what she sent to me.



I thought today's card was appropriate. The tree and snowflake is from the set Season of Friendship found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

I like all the colors that were used. I like the Designer Series Paper and how they tied in the Kiwi Kiss ribbon color to bring out the color in the Designer Series paper.

It is a very simple, quick, and cute card.

I like it.

Happy Stamping!

Where have I been?!

Hello everyone,

I have friends that remind me that I have not posted in a while, like since October 17th - horrors. I know you have heard this before, but it isn't like I don't want to post anything. I have the need to create! School has been the big factor. It is the last five weeks of the semester and it is crunch time. It feels like I am having a baby because I am counting my life out in weeks!

Hard to believe this semester will be over in five weeks. I am actually looking for it to be over because that means I finished all the assignments, and I am ready to begin studying something new. Now, next semester does not sound like all that fun with the subjects I have to take - because they are all core classes - but it must be done!

So, my goal this weekend is to get down to the stamp room, clean off the table top, stamp - as I need to get ready for stamp camp!, and post a card.

I also have to budget time to get the studies in as well.

So..off I go. And a big Thank you for sticking in there with me. I know once the semester is done, I will be able to do some stamping regularly again!

Take care! and Happy Stamping!

Inspired by Baja Blue

Good morning Stampers!

I am so sorry about Wednesday! I had every intention to post this Wednesday morning, but Tuesday came and went faster than I can remember. Okay, an hour of that was spent napping. A lot of reading and computer work can do that to the eyes.

I hope this is finding you all well. The weather has turned cool and the leaves are falling and the mood can be gray at times. I am enjoying sleeping with the windows open in my bedroom to hear the crickets chirping, and then turning on the heating blanket to keep me all snugly. Reminds me a little of camping. There have been times in which I have heard an owl outside hooting. I get worried about that putting my boys out at night, but I have been assured that my boys are too big for the owl to come swoop them up.

I still have a couple of birthday cards to send out - and of course for this whole month the theme inside is "Happy Belated Birthday." I prefer to send them out ahead of time, and I even have a dummy reminder bell that goes off, but I still cannot get my act together. In December I am having a Birthday card theme stamp camp, so I will have some made up ahead of time. That is half my battle. Thankfully for me...my friend Marcy is gifted in making masculine cards, so I freely give her creative reign with designing those cards. But for December...we will be using a couple of the cupcake stamp sets that are currently on special through SU! for the month of October. My other friend Elizabeth reminded me that I am behind on posting October's special and taking down September's. Which I am grateful for because I did forget about doing that. I won't get a chance to do anything until this weekend.

I am pleased with how this card turned out. I once again used the scrapbook paper that I traded with my friend Marcy. I really liked it and I am so glad that we did that exchange program. I am also glad to see that cardmaking is using more and more scrapbook paper. It has been helpful to me when I need to pull something together quickly. What I used:
SU! cardstock: Baja Blue, Kiwi Kiss (both in colors), Pink Passion, Apricot Appeal, white.
SU! ink: Baja Blue
SU! markers: Pixie Pink, Pink Passion, Green Galore, Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal.
I added some glitter to the cone of the flower.
SU! set: Inspired by Nature. Sentiment is SU! but I cannot remember what the name of it is - forgive me please. (I cannot access my room right now)
SU!: 1 3/4 inch square punch.
Other: White double faced satin ribbon, scrapbook paper, scalloped dies.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by. See you Monday!

Bella Rose Polka Dots

Good morning Stampers!
In my neck of the words we had beautiful weather, which meant..not spending a great deal on in depth card making. I needed some female birthday cards, so that was my theme this week. Call it Simple Female. Okay, that just doesn't sound good saying it out loud. So just say Simple Female in your head and my point about my theme comes across much better! You know that simple cards are what I have to focus on right now.



For this card, I used the Pink Pirouette in the 12x12 paper because it is the only size paper that comes in the textured paper for the in-color series. Wow.. that was a mouth full and I hope you could follow that. Many people, include myself, wish that SU! would make the textured cardstock in the 8.5x11 size. So the Pink Pirouette is the base. Then I used the Bella Rose paper - to be honest, I don't own any other DSP yet. Right now though, I really like the Ski Slope DSP in the Winter mini occasions/catalog is my favorite.
To get the scallops, I used the 1/2" punch (which is the same size as the pink polka dots you see) and punched out 1/2" circles in Riding Hood Red cardstock.
The pink DSP in the middle, is on the flip side of the polka dot paper. Sweet!
The white ribbon is a double faced white satin.
Happy Birthday is stamped in Riding Hood Red.


There you have it! Easy Peasy.

Go forth and stamp!

See you Wednesday!

Artifacts Birthday

Good morning Stampers!

Well, we made it through the week! Now it is time to wind down and relax a little and of course - stamp!!

To keep with the theme of simple cards this week, I used some scrapbook paper that I traded with a friend. We each had scrap packs that had duplicate pages in them. We both knew that we would not be using all of it, so why not maximize the purchasing power. We traded our duplicate papers from different scrap packs and then had double difference - okay that is a new phrase made up by me :) It is a two for one type of thing.
We used the Artifacts stamp set - retired - at last Saturday's stamp camp. Since it was still fresh in my mind, I used it again.
Cardstock: Choc. Chip, Certainly Celery, Ballet Blue.
Ink: Tango Tangerine, Marigold - retired, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss - I was going to use this for another project, but liked this paper better.
Ribbon: Choc. Chip. Have a good weekend! See you Monday!

Thanks for stopping by.

Blooming with Happiness - Birthday Cake

Good morning Stampers!

Happy Hump Day! Half way through the week. Definitely a good thing! That Statistics project is due tomorrow and I have met with some people from class to get a handle on it. How am I doing?? Well, maybe I will comment on it after Thursday.

I needed a birthday card for my niece. This is her second year in school, so it is always fun to get mail when you are away!
I used the retired SU! hostess Blooming with Happiness set and some Scrapbook Paper Stash that I had laying around. You cannot tell, but I added glitter to the flower centers and candles. I used Staz-on black for the cake and candles, and SU! markers to fill them in. I also used the Dazzling Diamonds glitter for accenting.
I am keeping true with the simple cards this week. Have a good day! See you Friday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fall

Good morning Stampers!

Stamp Camp on Saturday went really well. The group decided that November 15th's Stamp Camp will be all Christmas cards. So they will be making 12 Christmas cards - 4 of each design. Many already signed up for November's stamp camp and I have a couple openings left.
I will be sending out an e-mail regarding it.

I was able to steal down into my stamp room yesterday for a very short amount of time. I was fighting sleep, so I knew I had to hurry.
I have had this scrapbook paper hanging around and it was driving me nuts! When I originally purchased it, I had an idea for it that of course was a perfect fit. Well, who knows how long ago that was and I have forgotten that "perfect image". Because of that, I have not allowed myself to purchase anymore scrapbook paper for now. Of course I purchase the SU! scrapbook paper, but I have not purchased others. I have to say though. I love the Basic Grey papers and I saw an advertisement for their new Christmas line - Wassail. It looked pretty. Hold me back!

Since I have sorted through scrapbook paper several times, and have donated it, I wanted to get back to using what I have.
I cannot tell you much about this one, except I think it looks "fallish" and also "manly". Now the two do not correlate necessarily. (can you tell I am taking statistics right now, and by the way I have a huge project due this week - thus the reason for the simple cards this week)
I have also wanted to use the Season tree set - which is on the dormant list. I thought it was a retired set, but it isn't. The Happy Hellos is from the Lots of Thoughts stamp set that was offered during last years Sell-a-Bration. the scrapbook paper and cardstock is not SU! It was stash just sitting around.

Have a good day. See you Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by.

Where have I been?

Good morning Stampers!

Been wondering where I have been? Some of you have asked - and I appreciate the concern!
Remember two weeks ago when we had that high wind storm. Winds reaching 50MPH? I sure do! I watched healthy limbs get blown off their tree and hit my house power lines. Fortunately the lines did not come down with the beating they took!
Then I went out - yes, I went out into the windstorm - and pulled three large limbs out of the street. (I can see how twigs can be impaled with such force that it can go through a telephone pole!) Not at the same time, but as the storm went on - sounds like a soap opera doesn't it? Well, it becomes that way I feel. You see, I couldn't leave the limbs in the street because they were blocking the road. I live in an older neighborhood, and I wanted my neighbors to be able to get out. There was no way they were going to get out of their car and pull the limbs aside. If they could, I want to know their cereal brand as that would be a great endorsement.
Well, I hmm-hawed and thought about abandoning ship and go to my in-laws. They still had power until 9:00 p.m. that night. We lost ours at 6:30 p.m. just as they were leaving our house from having dinner with us. We stayed the night here and Monday night. I was sure the power was going to be back on in a day. No way! It was out all week. I was behind on my readings and I needed the Internet for school. We packed up and went to my parents - their power came back on in less than 12 hours. It was like we were on vacation! (with the exception of the Internet - it was going in and out with the cable) I think my husband was sad we had to go back to our house at the end of the week! Finally power was restored at the end of last week! Amazing how dependent we are on electricity. It also humbled us because we were displaced for a week, can't imagine what Texas and surrounding areas are dealing with.
Okay, so I went to the basement on Saturday. I am still catching up with my readings, but I thought I could make a card while the dryer was finishing. It beat me, so I folded laundry and went back upstairs. This morning I woke up with an earache. Woke out of a dead sleep. This year I was not fooling around with it. I went to Statcare. Yep, they confirmed what I already knew. Ear infection. Got the antibiotics and nasal spray. I knew exactly what I needed and let the doctor know. After two years of this, I know the signs and solutions! By 2:00 p.m. it progressed to bilateral ear infections. Now, let me tell you what the advantages are. You know the disadvantages - ear pain. The positives...my husband said that our son had a "poopy" diaper. I could not smell a thing! Nope - he still smelled like roses to me and he would have continued until he took his bath last night! Another positive..those temper tantrums just aren't as loud as they were before! Since I am currently potty training him, temper tantrums are a frequent occurrence in the house. You know, about every couple of hours (or less if my husband smells him :)) There is one positive for my son. I am beginning to get laryngitis, so raising my voice is not so loud right now.

So, there will be no posting of pictures this week. Another thing going on...I have stamp camp this weekend, so I will be getting ready for that as well.

Surmise to say, it has been a bad two weeks. I really am hoping that I get to my stamp room soon. I am having withdraws and that adds to my crankiness.

I hope this finds all of you healthy and stamping!

See you next week.

Bali Breeze - DSP

Good morning Stampers!

Does this look familiar at all? I said on Monday that I liked this template. Since I did not have any other current DSP other than Bella Rosa, I pulled out the Bali Breeze - which I have a lot of!
The ribbon I already had as well, and goes perfectly with the DSP, although it may not look like it in the photo.
I used the SU! distresser "kit" again.

I will be getting back into my stamp room again this weekend. I don't have to work on Saturday, so I hope to have some time to stamp - and yes, something different than this template!

Have a good weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

Daisies

Good morning Stampers!

When I was in my stamp room, my stamping mojo wasn't there with me! Very frustrating since I don't have a lot of free time to stamp, and when I do - I need to be "on".
I had this Daisy scrapbook paper out on my table for the last two weeks. I just stared at it, not doing anything with it.
Since I have no stampin' mojo at the moment, I have no color inspiration mojo either. Bummer for me. I do like the Baja Breeze that is one of the In colors currently through Stampin' Up!
I also used the Stampin' Up! border punch. I wanted to use ribbon, but I could not figure out how I was going to incorporate it so I made 1/4 inch strips of black cardstock and adhered them under the main layer. I used the Tombow white glue for this. It comes in a tube with green lettering. I like it better than the AquaMono, because as the name suggests - it is water based. Not too friendly with paper - it makes the paper buckle. Good for adhering embellishments. Thanks for stopping by!

Bella Rosa

Good Morning Stampers!

Happy Monday to you! I saw this template and really liked it. It is so stinkin' super easy! I used the Bella Rosa DSP as I have no other current DSP right now. Sad isn't it? I need to rectify it.

If you click on the picture and make it bigger..you will see that I used the razor blade - in the gray looking thing with grooves in it, it is the distressing kit that Stampin' Up! sells.
I also used Kiwi Kiss and Pink. Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp Camp

Good afternoon Stampers!

I am late in posting, but I have been in my stamp room getting some cards ready to post this week.

My theme this week: Super Easy!

Okay, I wanted to mention that I will be having a Stamp Camp again the first Saturday of October - that is October 4th from 9:30 to 2:00 p.m.

The sets that will be used are: House of Haunts, Pocket Silhouettes, Snow Swirled and Artifacts (retired). So there will be a Halloween, Fall, Christmas, and Masculine card. Again you will make three cards of each design. Do not RSVP to the blog. I will be sending out an e-mail about Stamp Camp for you to RSVP to. Plan to come get inky again and have fun!

Now, on a lighter side. My son brings to me in my stamp room a twig with many leaves on it. He says to me, "Brizzy peed on the leaves." My immediate reaction is - get those leaves out of the house! He was upset that Brizzy did this to the leaves. I had to tell him that it was alright that he did that. On a sad note..my son has regressed with the potty training. I know it happens and just hope that it is short lived.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back tomorrow.

A flower that makes me happy

Good morning Stampers!

I wanted to make a different size card so I came up with this:

This card will fit into the 6 1/4 x 3 5/8 envelope that you send checks or stationery in through the mail. I hope that just made sense.

I had some odd size pieces of paper so I was able to use them up with this size.
I was able to use the SU! white craft pad and the SU! white gel pen. I like the color combinations and the white faux stitching I did on the flower petals. I also used the two SU! oval punches, now there is a third oval punch SU! came out in this catalog and it is larger!

I popped up the polka dot center of the flower. I don't think that is coming through as well.

And yes, the pink ribbon had a mind of its own! It decided to flip up instead of down.

Thanks for stopping by!

Iridescent Dragonfly

Good morning Stampers!

I wanted to share a card I received from my upline Jan.

I really like the color combination and the added hardware charm on the card. After I took the picture, I realized a SU! mini glue dot would hold the ribbon slide charm really well. But when you open a card, you usually look at it "flat" and not "upright", so that is why I did not catch that, but a tip for you. When you use a ribbon slide charm add a SU! mini glue dot to the back of it to hold it in place. It is the weight of the charm that is making it weigh south. Who knows, maybe they have made these charms lighter. The follow-up tip: ...when you are adding a ribbon slide charm, usually the card is flat on your surface and you would not catch the charm going south unless you stood it up on the table.
So there you are!

I think it is coming through a little bit on the post. The dragonfly was stamped with versamark ink and Iridescent Ice embossing powder poured over it. When you heat the EP, you get this iridescent, glittery look to it

Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Birthday card

Good morning Stampers!

I followed through with what I said I was going to do! It feels good to be able to post again, AND do some stamping. I needed a birthday card today, so I reached for the Wow Flowers sets and the '08-'09 SU! In colors.

Something cute and simple. I still need to order the 1" punch that works great with this stamp set. I wish I could have shown you how good, but it will have to wait until I place my next order. The colors I used are: Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango. Can you believe I stayed away from the Pink Piroutte and the Bella Rosa papers?!

Okay, back to the books!

I am thinking Wednesday will be my next post.

Thanks for looking!

A new adventure and trying to find a schedule

AAACK!

Good morning Stampers!

Remember when I said I had some news that has me harried and overwhelmed?
Well....I have returned to school full time and in addition work part time.
I have been given a wonderful gift. I was offered a full assistantship while attending classes this year. That means I work for my schooling. The books pictured here are not all the books I am required to have. I was waiting on three more from Amazon. That doesn't include all the journal articles I have to read in addition to the text books.

I began to think about all the different "hats" I am wearing currently:
Wife, mother, daughter(in-law), friend, student, graduate assistant, stamper, "the boys" owner (and they don't let me forget when they need to go out or need to eat!). There are a few more roles, but the ones listed come to mind right away.
I decided to return to school and get my degree in Counselor Education and Supervision. I cannot tell you all the emotions that go through my head in a matter of a day, no make that an hour at times! And I think it is because I am learning how to organize and manage all the demands of life.

I have to say how much college has changed. Technology has become an integral part of it all, and I find that to be my biggest barrier. I continually remind myself that others have done it before me and I can do this as well. But, whew, there is a lot to learn. The university does not use Microsoft Outlook. I knew that e-mail system and calendar very well. I was proficient. I am now back to square one. I totally feel like a freshmen trying to learn just the basics to survive! It is like having the wind knocked out of you and physically trying to catch it!

I have already meet with the Statistics teacher to talk about two pieces of software. Pretty neat there is software just for statistical analysis. I also met with one of the librarians to learn how to find journal articles, audiovisual, and books. It is not limited to just that library, but throughout Ohio. I am amazed. I am setting up one more appointment with another librarian about another piece of software that will be helpful to me. I have learned that librarians can have specialty areas or concentrations. I am grateful for that.

I am blessed to have a couple of "coaches" out there. You know who you are! They help me to stay grounded.

That comes to my next statement. I will not be able to post everyday, or more frequently, like I was doing before school started. I am thinking if I can post at least three times a week, I am doing well. I have not figured out which days they will be since I am still trying to figure out my own schedule, but I want to at least post "regularly" on those days, which I have yet to identify.

I am telling you all this so that you do not think I have forgotten, or I have a lack of interest in stamping and blogging. I do very much. You can still check out my friend's blog - Rubbah Lovin' Fool - link on left sidebar. Her entry's are entertaining to read and she adds some photos of her pets.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, and you may just get this degree vicariously through me as I will most likely share what is going on in my journey.

Come back tomorrow - I will have a card post for you!

Mostly Flowers

Good morning Stampers!

I really like the colors in this card. The blue and green are in the same family and complement each other well.

This stamp set is a retired SU! set: Mostly Flowers.
The flowers that are attached with the blue brad are from a retired SU! level 1 Hostess set, and unfortunately the name escapes me. It will probably come to me as I am trying to fall asleep tonight!

The Cardstock colors are: white, certainly celery and brocade blue
The brad is brocade blue and I believe the ribbon is French Blue - that is what the SU! spool says.
The SU! ink is Pink Passion, and Basic Black.

The design of the card is from a card publication. I really liked the design. Easily adaptable to other "square" type images.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a card post!

Good morning Stampers!

I hope you enjoyed perusing over Rubbah Lovin' Fool's blog yesterday. You may want to check it out on a regular basis.

For today's card I took a break from the Bella Rosa DSP. Partly because it is being cut up for stamp camp. Did I hear a sigh of relief? A little tired of seeing it huh? Well, don't worry - it will make an appearance again!

This card is very simple. Just straight cutting - rectangles and squares. T
he SU! cardstock colors I used are white, cameo coral and blush blossom.
SU! Markers: Cameo Coral, Barely Banana, Green Galore.

Bad Blogger

Good morning Stampers!

How have you all been? Wondering where I have been, what I have been doing and overall where the heck I have been? Me too! All I can say is that I am a bad blogger. No other name for it, and no other name I will state :). I hope in the next day or two to tell you what has been going on. A bit harried and overwhelming at my end. I am still trying to catch up with myself. I think I might have a schedule made up to accomodate my new harried and overwhelmingness and once I let you in on it I think you will understand and have a bit more compassion and understanding for me, or at least I hope you do.

I don't have a card post for you today, but I can say that I am working on a stamp camp for this Saturday. You know what that means...card posting can be erratic at that.

I do have a suggestion though. Visit my friend's blog - Rubbah Lovin' Fool She has been creatively lately and is trying some new things. Oh, do one thing for me. Leave her a comment at the end of her post and state she needs to change the picture of herself. She is better looking than the one she has posted and needs to get a picture of herself on her blog. Thanks for doing that!

Okay, back to what I need to get done. I will have something for you Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Heartfelt Thanks - In pieces

Good morning Stampers!

Can you tell by now that I only own one of the new DSP papers by Stampin' Up! Yes, this is the Bella Rosa DSP. I am hoping to order some new DSP on the next order. I was inspired J Belanger's card. This card is actually in pieces. So behind the main piece - the flower, everything else is just cut down to tuck behind in each layer. for instance, the piece that has the pearls on it, does not completely go across the back. It is two pieces. I wanted to challenge myself to use my supplies in a different way. I do not do this for all my cards because frankly it is easier to cut one piece and layer it. But as I was putting this card together, it came to me that I could have "pieces" and make it look like there was a lot there. I did pop up the center image.
Have a good Monday.

Fresh Cuts - Thank You

Good Morning Stampers!



For this Simple Sunday, I used the Bella Rosa Papers by SU! I know yesterday's post used the same pattern from the Bella Rosa, but I really like it. It is soft and feminine and allows you to stamp images on it that aren't distracted by the background paper.

The bow is very simple to make. I think this version might be called a Tailored Bow. I used a pink satin for this particular look. I wrapped the pink satin around the card, then made a large circle and secured the ends. I "smooshed" it in the middle and wrapped a smaller piece of satin ribbon around it and secured the ends. Bada boom, bada bing. You are finished. Very simple!

What I used:
SU! stamp: Freshcuts set
SU! ink: Riding Hood Red
SU! Cardstock: White, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red.
SU! DSP: Bella Rosa
Other: Pink satin ribbon

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by!

Saturday Stash - Bookplate

Good morning Stampers!

For this Saturday Stash, I pulled out my bookplates. They were still in the package! I NEEDED to use them - or at least one (wink). I pulled out my SU! Pure Color pencils and played with them a little as well. Since playing a little with the watercolor paper, I have become a little curious about mixing colors together to get a look.
For this card, I made a note card size - great for my saying in the bookplate. In this picture, I wanted to show you how I "tied" the bookplate onto the note card. I knotted on both sides of the bookplate and tucked the ends behind the bookplate.


Here is what I used:

SU! stamp sets: Embrace Life, In my thoughts
Inks: Black Staz-on
SU! Marker: Basic Black
Cardstock: Barely Banana, White
SU! DSP: Bella Rosa
Other: Bookplate, ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig, SU! pure color pencils.

Thanks for looking!

Anniversary Card

Good morning Stampers,

I have been working on this card for a couple of days. My Stamping MoJo left me for a few days and you could say this is a warm up card. I have been trying to potty train my son and I think some of that frustration has interrupted the Stamping MoJo.

I think this card could be for any occasion. I needed an anniversary card, but looking at the verse it could be a birthday, best wishes on a new adventure, job, relationship, etc. The inside sentiment can define what you want the card to be.

I CASE'd this from the Take Ten Summer 08 issue.



All Supplies used are Stampin' Up! unless noted.
Stamps: Heard from the Heart, Doodle This
Inks: Riding Hood Red Classic, Chocolate Chip Marker
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Bashful Blue, White
Other: Bella Rose Designer Series Paper, Large
star punch, small star punch, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

Thanks for stopping by!

I am still here

Good morning Stampers!

I know it has been several days since I have posted anything. I wanted to let you know that I am still around. For the past couple of days I have had orientation. And last night the family went out to celebrate our wedding anniversary. No sitter, my son went with us. I thought he did well for eating out at a noisy restaurant, but that might have been the best place as he did not always speak quietly! Of course I could only get him to eat french fries! It is frustrating trying to get a child to eat a variety of things. I am headed off to orientation again today. This is my last day of it - that I am aware of. I have not had a chance to check my e-mail and respond, so please bear with me. I am almost afraid to say this, but when I get home tonight I hope to be able to stamp a little.

Thanks for stopping by!

Customer Open House

Good Morning Stampers!

I have been getting ready for today...my Customer Appreciation/Open House. It is all set up and ready to go. Okay, still have to mix up the refreshments.

Another reason I have not posted is that the Podiatrist decided he was not done having some fun with my foot. A month ago I posted about my foot...well, again I get to experience a shard of glass in the bottom of my foot. I don't have a piece of shard of glass in my foot, but it sure feels like it. So, it has not been much fun walking around and standing. So retrieving materials to make a card has not been on the top of my list of things to do. Although I want to make a card.

I have had a peek at the Mini Catalog that SU! is coming out with. All I can say is YAHOO! More Designer Series Paper, Ribbon, stamps, FELT SNOWLFLAKES, and MORE.

I look forward to you getting a chance to see it.

Thanks for looking! I will be back with a card posting.

Serene Spring for the Customer Appreciation/Open House

Good morning Stampers!

Please notice on my sidebar to the left I have added a link to the InColor Combination Chart. SU! has put some color combination suggestions in their new Idea Book & Catalog. I think that is helpful because I have seen some color suggestions that I would not have thought of putting together. Now with this chart on the side, it helps even more! It does open in a PDF file.

Today's card is one that anyone attending my Customer Appreciation/Open House this Saturday will be making. It showcases the Spotlight Technique. Great for when you do not want to add color to a whole image.

This set is one of the new Hostess Level 2 sets.

Here is what I used:

SU! stamps: Serene Spring - level 2
SU! Ink: Staz-on Black
SU! Cardstock: Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink
SU! markers: Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink, Creamy Caramel, close to Cocoa.
Other: SU! scallop border punch, ribbon, 1 1/4" punch, 1 3/8 inch punch, dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!

Embrace Life - SU Color Wheel Inspired

Hello Stampers! I am busily getting ready for my Customer Appreciation/Open House this weekend. that is why I have been sporadic with my postings.

Today's color combination was inspired by the SU! color wheel. I really like this Color Wheel because it gives you all 48 colors and color combinations for 2-step stamping!


For this card I used Embrace Life. The color combination is: Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Cameo Coral.

I stamped the leaf branch in Apricot Appeal on White c/s. I then mounted Bashful Blue on the back. For those of you, myself included, when c/s is at a premium, why not "cheat" a little. I had some small strips left over from a stamp camp, so instead of cutting a new wider strip, I cut a 1" strip into 1/2" strips. I then added Tombow Adhesive Tape to the back and mounted the strips onto the white c/s. It really helped to have the SU! grid paper for this because I could tell whether I adhered the strips evenly and straight! You can see some of the Tombow in the reflection.

Then, I used the Adhesive Remover (p. 191 of the SU! Idea Book & Catalog) to pick up any Tombow that may have made its way to the "front". I like this Adhesive Remover - easy to use!
As you can see..I have not cut down the white c/s yet.

Here is the finished card. I was working on learning to get a watercolor effect with the large Embrace Life flower. I left the front sentiment off as I was not sure what I would be using this card for.
My supplies:
Stamps: Embrace Life
SU! cardstock: White, Bashful Blue, Apricot Appeal, Cameo Coral
SU! classic: Apricot Appeal
SU! markers: Apricot Appeal, Barely Banana
Other: Ribbon, SU! blender pen, watercolor paper

Able to add "labels"

Hello Stampers!

I am very happy to have signed in to my blog and find out that I can add "labels" to my sidebar. When you scroll down on the right side, you will see a small title "labels". Under that you will see the different ways I have saved my posts. I could not go that before and I was trying to figure out how to add a "categories" to the sidebar.
I hope the "labels" category will make it easier to find things! Maybe someday I can add "videos" to the sidebar.

I will have a card post for you very soon. I have been working on one.

Thanks for stopping by!

Window Dressing - Flowers

Good morning Stampers!

A bit late in posting this AM. I like to post first thing in the morning because when I get up in the morning I like to peruse through the blogs. Kind of like a morning newspaper! So I apologize for the lateness.

For these two cards, the only difference is the ribbon.


Since I did not post for either Saturday Stash or Simple Sunday - I will explain why in a bit - I combined the two.
This card shows the ribbon I pulled out of my stash. When I purchased it, it was simply impulse - I liked the colors, the pattern and at that time, it was thick. What I mean by thick is that each of the circles was stitched in. On the back are just rows of the thread that made the circles. Luckily for me I did not purchase a whole yard.
Which leads me to my next card.







Same card, but with pink grosgrain. Easier to tie and very simple, yet pretty


Okay, I received my catalogs for my Customer Appreciation Day/Open House! I was busy looking through the catalog and talking to people about it.

There is a square scallop punch that is new! Very exciting.

Here is what I used:
Stamps: Level 3 Hostesss set, Wonderful Words
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Berry Bliss DSP - retired.
Ink: Black Staz-on
Markers: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana, Bashful Blue.
Other: Pink grosgrain ribbon, and "other" ribbon.
SU! Signo white gel pen ( I really like this pen!)

Have a good day stampers!

Little unknown fact..

Good morning Stampers!

Did you know that I had a Board of Directors for my blog? Yep, it is a little unknown fact. Sometimes they post comments to the blog and sometimes it is behind the scenes....

The Board of Directors is there to protect you and me. How you ask? Well, let me give you an example. For several posts, I was using a flower pick, arranger, or whatever it is called, to hold up my cards in pictures. My BoD said that when they clicked on the picture to make it bigger - Yowsa! Offensive to the stamper's eyes. My BoD advised me to do one of two things. Of course, my BoD had a few suggestions. (I think that is nice - when you state a problem, have a solution to propose, and they had two!) BoD offered these two solutions, 1. Lose the flower pick, or 2. Clean it up.

Now, you may be wondering how the BoD is protecting my interest, after all you know how they are protecting yours (advisement of removing offensive looking things to stampers eyes....) I want my stampers to keep coming back to see what is happening on INKnovations. If the flower pick/arranger is unpleasant to the eyes..then you may decide to not come back. I would lose the purpose of this blog. I know, it may sound extreme but the flower pick is going to get a makeover if it wants to keep its job onscreen.

So, here's to you BoD! You know who you are. Who knows..maybe you can become a BoD. Just be aware..they are brutally honest. That's why I love them :)

Heard from the Heart and Pretties Kit

Good morning Stampers!

This morning I totally CASE'd a card from the August Stampin' Success magazine I receive from SU! It looked like the card in the magazine was a 3x3, but I wanted to make a full size card, so I just "blew" everything up.

I used the new stamp set that will be available August 11th - Heard from the Heart.










Here is the stamp. Notice I only used the word "Kindness" from the stamp. I began to make the card, and then I decided to show you how I stamped just the word "kindness". I wanted to state that so you did not think that I do not clean my stamps. I do! With SU! Stampin' Mist.

I masked off the wording underneath the stamp by simply using scotch tape. Some of you may have already thought of that, but sometimes I have those moments, "why didn't I think of that!" So I am passing this little tip on - and it isn't even Tuesday!

Then I inked up the stamp in SU! Craft white. I don't have to worry about not inking up parts of the stamp I do not want to use.

Remove the scotch tape and Voila! Easy Peasy!

I then stamped it and embossed with white EP.

I wanted to show you this...Notice my paper goes over my folded card. I did this on purpose so I could line up things the way I wanted them to look. I could move the embossed "kindness" to whatever side of the card I wanted. I wanted it off to the right because I was going to add the petals from the Pretties Kit.

Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp set: Heard from the Heart

Ink: SU! White craft

Papers: Pink Piourette, Riding Hood Red, White, Bella Rosa DSP.

Other: SU! matstack, paper piercer, glue dots, white EP, SU! soft subtle buttons

Thanks for looking! Don't forget about the Customer Appreciation Day! visit my blog at:

Wednesday Update

Good afternoon Stampers!

I am still trying to figure out a schedule of how to get posts up. I suppose I am still on vacation mode and have been a little lazy and taking for granted the time I have.

Today's delay in posting is due to learning how to add things to my blog. If you notice on the side bar, I added the BIG convention announcement of Stampin' Up! partnering with Sizzix. If you click on the picture, you will see a brochure - it includes some of the dies that will be released!

Also, the Decor Elements. SU! announced this a while back, but I was not savvy with the blog and did not know how to post things. I still don't know some things, and have to wiggle things around. I have to learn to be patient with myself and allow myself a learning curve.

At my Open House - Customer Appreciation Day, I have a sample of what the Decor Elements is like. One was included with my Stampin' Success, and I have not applied it to my wall - saving it for the Open House. I can share that my upline, Jan put it on one of her bags, or luggage. Right on a side pocket so now it is customized and easily recognized in airports, gym or anywhere. I have also seen an example where a demo put it on her car. The Decor Elements are vinyl -so easy to apply. At convention, SU! announced their Phase 2 of the Decor Elements, so watch for more designs! Very exciting.

I will have more....SU! is going to have a Recruiting Special beginning in August - the starter kit will be $99 instead of the $199 as usual. Click here to review the brochure. www.stampinup.com/us/documents/US_99_Start_Kit_promo.pdf
There are three different ways you can order the kit: Stamp focused, Scrapbook focused or Decor Elements focused.

Lovely as a Tree

Good morning Stampers!

Today's card comes from the Stampin' Success magazine I receive from Stampin' Up! I do not own the stamp set that was featured, but I had the colors that it featured.
I made this card using Lovely as a Tree with the featured color scheme. I think it makes a great manly card. Easily CASE'd. I want to point out that I cut Chocolate Strips for the top half of the card. A tone-on-tone texture.


Here are the details:

Stamp set: Lovely as a Tree
Ink: Versamark
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze (In Color), So Saffron
Other: Silver Brads, Mat Stack - eyelet template, White EP, Heat Embossing tool

Let me know what you think of the Sidebar

Let me know what you think. On the left side bar I have added two new items. They both are photographs of the projects I have done. One is a vertical bar that has still photos, the other is a slide show - it is just below the still photos.
Which one do you prefer? I have not decided yet, and what it might come down to is the amount of space I am allowed to upload photos for the blog. But until that decision is made...I would like to hear from you.

And of course, another picture from vacation.

My son decided to jump into our bed and pretend he was sleeping. He is amazing..he can grin while sleeping :)
He kept asking to have his picutre taken. So I clicked away!

Simple Sunday - Wow Flowers (not Flower Power)

Good morning Stampers!

I'm baaack! We are back from our vacation! It was very relaxing and we had GREAT weather.

I will show you one picture that I took. Oh believe me..there are more and I will share them. But the picture from vacation is at the end of this post.

Feels GREAT to be stamping again!

I can honestly say that this is a D2 original!
During my vacation I had a chance to look at
a couple of scrapbook magazines. You see my August Stampin' Success did not come before I left - and believe me I was really hoping that it would have..AND my 2008-2009 Idea Book & Catalog did not show up either! A girl can wish...

I opened up the scrapbook magazine and saw the pattern (the red image stamped repeatedly) and then the color scheme - it was a red, yellow and blue. For that I substituted - Red Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Pacific Point. These are the 2008-2009 In Colors. The two I did not use was the Tangerine Tango and Pirouette Pink.

Stamps: Flower Power, Wow Flowers, Heard from the Heart - both coming in the upcoming catalog available August 11th. Both of these sets already come die cut..no cutting stamps before mounting them!

Inks: Pacific Point, Basic Black

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Pacific Point

Accessories: Scallop punch, Silver Brads, Scallop Border punch - making its debut in the upcoming catalog!

Now, just one picture from vacation:
Oh..there will be more!

Alas, to my dismay..

Good morning Stampers!

It is sad to say, but the stress of the week has caught up to me. I thought I would be able to post something, but I have run out of time. Tomorrow night is the women's group I am providing the two birthday cards for them to complete. By the time I get home (9:00 PM) I will have to get ready for work the next day. The next day is when I leave for vacation after work. I still have laundry to finish, pack and gather some things together. I was hoping the chance to get some stamping stuff together to take, but I am coming to the realization that I won't have time for that. I am taking the computer to hopefully clean up some files - some that have been there for years!
So, just to let you know...there will be no postings until the first week of August. I thought I would be upfront about that. Please come back the beginning of August and check things out.

On a non-stamping related topic. I witnessed something very disturbing to me. I was coming out of the credit union when I heard a man yelling. I looked out and he was driving his car on a busy main street. Now, you know he had to be loud for me to hear him. The woman in the car was getting out - thankfully he stopped to let her out. He yelled some more - couldn't hear what he was saying - and then drove off to the next side street. She was walking. I did not see him hit her, just yell - which is bad enough. So here is my comment. If any of you are in an abusive relationship - verbal, physical and/or mental - please, please, please find help. You are worth more than being someone's punching bag. Enough said.

Have a good week Stampers! I will see you soon.

Retired Accessory list at Stampin' Up

Good morning Stampers!

If you haven't already been there, go to www.stampinup.com and look at the retirement accessory list. There will be a link to a list. Don't be surprised. It is a short list and fits on one sheet of paper! I did not see any punches on the retirement list, which made me very happy!

It truly bothers me that I have no card to post here. It isn't that I don't want to stamp and post something. I have ideas and enthusiasm for that! Today, I waited all day for the "Brown Guy" to deliver my box of goodies. Unfortunately, I'm still on the end of his route...how do I get that changed??? I am sad to announce that EVERYTHING is still in its original packaging - HORROR, I know and I think I heard some audible gasps - can't blame you there.

This week I have way too much on my plate. Have you ever had a week like that? I have several deadlines and I have these weeks every so often. I go out of my mind trying to juggle everything.

Here is what is going on:

I have a deadline with a couple's bridal shower - design is done, it is just stamping and assembly. Finish that on my vacation.

A women's group that I am to hostess and provide the "guts" for making two birthday cards - done and ready to go, but I need to get the Hostess items together.

A BIG deadline for work.

Get the family together to go on our FIRST week long vacation. Fortunately I have a house & dog sitter already lined up!

Oh - my son now has specific Thomas the Tank Engine episodes he wants to watch, and I am clueless as to what ones they are!

Okay, I think that is enough of that. I am going to do my best to post this week before leaving and then having nothing for a week - wanted to prepare you now. Where I am going, I will have no Internet connections. I will have withdraw as the Internet is my television.

Thanks for being patient with me and checking back!

Simple Sunday -For a Friend

Good morning Stampers!

Stamp Camp went great yesterday. Once again I learned new things from these Stampers! We shared, we laughed, and made cards! Next time I will take my camera so you can see the fun we have. OH! and I got to share a new tip that was developed by moi! I have been asked to share the tip on my blog, so I will. Just not today :)

I made a simple 3x3 card today. An A2 just seemed overwhelming to me! I am trying to be aware of color combinations and when I see how other stampers put them together it seems so easy. When I get to my stamp table and begin to pull out papers, I become overwhelmed and under confident in my choices. Here is where some art background would be helpful. I know there are primary, secondary and tertiary colors and then there is analogous colors - huh? Foreign language I have now entered, so I will need to spend some time understanding what all this means.
So lucky for me....I have a friend from out of town that I went to high school and college with that was an art and graphic major. You know I am going to take advantage of her knowledge!

In the mean time, I chose some "safe colors". These are from the retiring In Colors from SU! I have to tell you now that Purely Pomegranate and the Blue Bayou double stitched ribbon are both sold out. I am going to miss the Purely Pomegranate ribbon. I thought it was a rich color and the quality of the ribbon, double stitched I mean, is really great! I hope the new In Colors have the coordinating double stitched ribbon as well.




For this card I used the following:
Stamp Set: For You - Hostess Level 1 - retiring August 10th
Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky - all retiring August 11th, White
Ink: Same as above - applied with a SU! Blender Pen, and Staz-on Ink - Black.
Other: White satin ribbon, page pebbles....

Enjoy your day.

Saturday Stash - Happy Harmony

Good morning Stampers!

I pulled out an old set that I haven't been able to part with yet. This set is from Sell-a-Bration two years ago. The stamp set is called Happy Harmony. I really like the solid image because you can do several things with it. Silhouette images, or solid images, are big in stamping right now! I have a feeling there will be some in the upcoming Idea Book & Catalog. I have seen a sneak peak of two more stamp sets and two large punches. One of the punches works with the one stamp set. I was able to see this in a training video SU! provides to their Demonstrators.


Okay..I pulled out some retired stuff with this card:

Stamp sets: Happy Harmony - SAB, Linen Background, Crosshatch from Looks like Spring - retired.
Inks: Vintage Violet - InColor from 2006-2007, White craft.
Marker: Mellow moss
