Becky's Birthday!

A card I made for my daughter-in-laws birthday. Paper Stampin Up courtesy of Beate's blog candy! Thanks Beate!

This is a gift card holder that I made for boss's day! It was a very quick project...I can't wait to make a few for Christmas!

$ Stamp Basket = Halloween Shopping Spree! Yeah Mike!

After reading blogs about the dollar bin at Michael's I thought I would take a look. I was disappointed because our Michael's didn't seem to have any Halloween stamps (boo-hoo). THEN! AT THE CHECKOUT! I spied the stamps!!!! Needless to say I picked up a couple...check them out! I am ready to stamp!

Altered Composition Book

I had a blast making this journal today. My daughter in law is great about sharing stories that Levon (My grandson) says or does. I want to have a place to write them down. Maybe someday he will sit down and have a laugh or two.
I used Stampin Up paper (Beate's candy!). Offray blue ribbon and Daisy D embellishments. To initially adhere the paper, I ran it through my Xron sticker maker. After all paper was set I used Mod Podge to bond the paper together. When it was dry I added buttons, jewels and ribbon!

The Stamping Hours

When all I can hear is the hum of the computer and the whirl of the fan, I find myself most productive/creative. Right now my desktop is so cluttered with a modge podge of supplies, but I am having a blast. The computer in my stampin room is really my daughters, so I can't upload my latest cards. I just wanted to share this peaceful fun moment! Happy Monday morning...12:55.

Beate is Santa Thank you!

It has been forever since I posted!

I was so excited that I won Beate's blog candy, but I had no idea! A heavy box arrived with sooooo much paper! I am having a blast with this wonderful gift! Thank you Beate!

Flamingo

Vianna,
Look on Cornish Heritage Farms! They have a Flamingo stamp and it is priced very reasonably.

Goodbye Card

My husbands co-worker was retiring, so I used this flamingo stamp that I got from the $ bin at Michaels. I colored it with Prisma pencils and used card stock and ribbon. It was a quick card.

Wow! Thanks Kimberly!

Cornish Heritage Farms-August Challenge

I am a new fan of CHF! Liz has a monthly challenge and I thought I would give it a go. This is my first one, so not even sure if I did the right thing or not, but it was fun! Check out the website http://cornishheritagefarms.com/ I made my card a slider. The skater dude moves! Poor Martha doesn't know what to do! he he!

I Got Mail! Stamp Mail!

My sister and a her friend came by on Saturday and we stamped the afternoon away! It was a lot of fun. The card below was stamped with a Stampin Up set. I used a single giraffe stamp, but honestly can not remember the name of the set.

Well, the mail carrier was kind to me this week! I got my MFT stamps! They are fun! I used the piecing technique to make my first card and I think it turned out ok, I like the depth it adds.

My More Serious Side

Since I shared my funny card, I wanted to also share the intended use for this great stamp set. My favorite right now because it is so fun and versatile.

Funny Card

I love my Voila set by Stampin Up! I wanted to play with it a little bit so I stamped the image on printed paper, the tray I stamped on sparkle paper. I didn't like the face so I added a picture of my sister! The sentiment is:
(William Hanna / Joseph Barbera)"Charlie" and "Irving" Lyrics, the two carhops Fred was trying to hide from his wife.

Here we come on the runWith a burger on a bunAnd a dab of coleslaw on the side,Oh your taste we will tickleWith a great dill pickleAnd all of our potatoes are french fried, fried, fried,Our burgers can't be beat,'Cause we grind our own meat,Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind,
When you drive away,You'll really hear us say,We bid you bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,We bid you bye, bye, bye, bye, bye!
And as your on your way,A tip upon our trayWe hope to find, find, find, find, findWe hope to find, find, find, find, find.
Ok, now you know I am a bit.....peculiar? He He He

On My Way

It is starting to look like a blog now. Yippeee! I haven't figured out how to shrink my header yet, but I will. Stop by again soon!

Slowly but Surely

I had no idea it would take me so long to REALLY get started with my blogsite. I still have so much to figure out. Like my header and how to put my slide show on the side? I will get there eventually-at least I hope I will!
