more cards sitting around....

These were begging to get posted...especially the bella! The first was done with very punny and houndstooth background...the only scalloped punch I have is the square one so I try to use it whenever considering how hard is was to get!
The second one was Cosmo Bella, and some weird background stamp I found in my MIL's stash! It reminded me of champagne bubbles LOL!
The last I did with polka dots and paisley and my new Rhonna Farrer swirls! I LOVE these flourishes! I think I went a little crazy with them though! I actually stamped last night to make samples for our stamp a stack tonight (ack, a little behind) so I'll post them later!

some things I did in Florida

These are a few cards I did in Florida with my MIL's stuff!



For the first one I used heartfelt thanks, which is a set I have always wanted to buy but never have (you know what will be in my next order, right?). I like it because it can be used for so many occasions...this one is for a sympathy card I need for a friend's father in law who recently passed away.
The second I used Birthday beauty and Doodle this on the background...I also used dazzling diamonds on the sash...the buckle was just lying around on her craft table so I snagged it up and saved it's life!

SO, in this blog I am trying to document my stamping growth...how my style is changing because of awesome influences like my new friends on SCS. I also want to provide potential clients to our little company with examples of my work, so one day you might see a card made for a challenge on SCS and one day you may see an invitation or party favor I am working on for a client. Either way, I am still a work in progress and I hope you enjoy the process as much as I am!

NEXT UP......blog candy! My first foray into this fun world...stay tuned!

back home again

SO we returned from Florida on Sunday after what was probably the worst week of my life! Both kids sick with a virus and ear infections, high fevers and diahrrea, and my mother in law gets the FLU, and now that we are home I have a terrible virus myself. And I have soooo many things to do this week. I am trying to pull ,yself together, slowly....I'll post pictures soon I promise....

Florida!

Well, we will be leaving for Florida tomorrow, I'll be checking email but may not have time to update my blog. I will be stamping and stuff though, using my MIL's fun stuff! So arrividerci! See you on the flip side!

back to school....not!

So it was supposed to be back to school for DD today but it was a snow day instead. It wasn't even that bad out....oh well one more day! Here are a few things I did over the weekend...




Don't have much mojo these days...and I gotta give up on carte postale already!

Happy Hump Day

Ok so it's finally half way through the week, but I am still going nuts. The kids are bored, I'm bored... blah, blah, blah.
I have been so uninspired these days on top of it all. I tried the color challenge for the week on SCS...red, black and gold for Chinese New year. I found a scrap of gold shiny paper, and my gold embossing powder and here's what I came up with. I am getting sick of carte postale by the way...it's just been sitting on my desk and I keep grabbing it. SO, now I put it away under a few other sets that are feeling neglected. Have lots to catch up on this weekend too...I'll be sure to post a bunch of stuff on Sunday.
