I Stamp Too

2011-02-13T15:56:00.000-05:00

The newest winter visitor.. (again)...

2011-02-06T09:57:00.001-05:00

I've been wondering why all my birdseed has been disappearing so fast!!

2011-01-25T10:36:00.002-05:00

I scrapbooked a picture of my sweetie making his famous chicken parmesan. (pardon the sticky over him, he's just funny that way).. anyway, this was a real fun layout to do, used my handy cricut, and some papertrey ink stamps. Took me all day to make this layout, but I like the way it turned out.

2011-01-21T17:18:00.002-05:00

I had so much fun making this card. I made one for my friend and one for my boyfriends parents. Loving the cricut!!

2011-01-20T18:51:00.003-05:00

Here is my try at one of the recipe cards again. I actually made two of these as my girlfriend wanted the recipe as well.. so why not give her a cutey-patootie card instead of a plain ol recipe card. I cut the chicken out with the cricut. I am SO loving that cricut. I am finding that I "need" all the cartridges. Some I have had a while and haven't used yet.. BUT... I will get going on that soon. Whoops.. this is backwards, the top one if the back of the recipe card... I LOVE from my kitchen cartridge too!!

2010-12-28T15:34:00.001-05:00

My mom with the quilt I made her for Christmas. I think she liked it. It was my first quilt, and I was pretty proud of it. Its super soft and warm as it is made out of flannel.

2010-11-12T17:41:00.002-05:00

Here is a Christmas card that I made, that I really like. The top picture is the outside, and the bottom is the inside.. I wish I could've made more of this, but I ran out of the snowman paper. I am really trying to do more on the "inside" of the card too, so its special. What do ya think?

2010-11-10T15:43:00.002-05:00

Another one of my Christmas cards I made. This one I used the cricut for, I used the wording from winter woodland. I also was digging around, and found my stampin up wheels. It has been FOREVER since I used them, so I found me a christmas one, and voila... a patterned background. What do ya think.. more to come in the next couple days... stay tuned ;)

2010-11-10T15:29:00.002-05:00

Today was a "Play day" for me. I worked on my Christmas cards ALL day so far. The country music awards are on tonite, so I plan on staying in my stamp room all afternoon working on stuff, all the way through the awards. I hope I get alot done. I made a few of each sample that I am going to show. I wish I could do the "mass-producing" all of one card, but I just did 4 of each.

I finally got the vintage picnic set. Love it!! I colored it with both copics, and prisma pencils. I pierced all around the edge of the die. I also used the bakers twine, LOVE that stuff. More to come.....

2010-11-01T16:57:00.002-04:00

Here is a picture of our "Spook House" from last night. We got this little "playhouse" this summer, it is built out of logs, inside and out. A girl I work with was going to give it away. I couldn't wait to get it! What really sold me on it, was the covered porch. I have always wanted a covered porch, and now I have it on our playhouse. We had a fun time last night, I will post more pictures soon...

2010-10-22T18:44:00.000-04:00

What more can I say, other than "ADORABLE".. Petey-dog is the best dog ever!

2010-10-22T18:38:00.002-04:00

As I was going through some pictures on my computer, I ran across this one, and wanted to share it with you all. This was taken in our neighbor and dear friends driveway!!! A mom and two of her cubs, and there were 2 other cubs that ducked into the corn before the picture could be snapped. Isn't this amazing? I hope she doens't get mad that I am sharing this picture on the web, but I just wanted to share it. It is one of my favorite pictures.

2010-10-22T18:30:00.002-04:00

I know this isn't a papercrafting project, but it is one of my projects for halloween. I LOVE halloween, and LOVE decorating for it. This summer we acquired a "playhouse" that is a little log cabin. I will post pics of that soon too, but for now, our playhouse is going to be a spook house, and this lil guy is sitting in his rocking chair under the covered porch part of the playhouse. We got all kinds of lights hooked up inside and outside, and it will be really neat looking for halloween. I just hope its not supercold out that night so we can enjoy a nice backyard fire enjoying the outside lights. So anyway, this is "Jack Wagon" after that geico commercial. What do ya think?

Halloween

2010-10-15T18:55:00.002-04:00

One of my halloween cards I have been working on. I love this image. Isn't he just the cutest little thing???? Halloween is probably my favorite holiday, I LOVE decorating for it, and love making cards for it. More to come in the next few days.. stay tuned, and spread the word so I can get more followers...c

2010-09-22T18:05:00.002-04:00

More cricut fun. This guy I didn't emboss at all, but I did pop-dot him and that was it. Added the googly eyes for fun, but wasn't sure what to do with it to make it "pop".. Wish Donna Mundinger could help me out!! So, I ended up just outlining his features with marker. I will hide this for the boyfriend when he gets home from work tonite.

2010-09-22T18:01:00.002-04:00

Another attempt at playing with my cricut. This card I am sending to my Mom. She loves dogs. I pop-dotted this one too, (can't tell though). Used the stampin up embossing folder on his top layer. Fun to make. I hope she likes it.

2010-09-22T17:53:00.002-04:00

I have been playing with my cricut lately. (I think I just needed some inspiration and got it). This was fun to make as he kinda looks like my dog. I am a huge fan of Donna Mundinger's work (popsicle toes), she inspires me to keep playing. I can NOT figure out how she welds some cuts together. I wish we lived closer and she could come on over and help me out. :) But anyway, until I get that figured out, I will keep playing and just put them on regular shaped cards for now. I pop-dotted this lil guy 3 times, although you can't tell in thepicture. And ran the top layer through a stampin up embossing folder. TUrned out kinda cute.. what do ya think?

2010-09-21T15:22:00.001-04:00

Just thought this was a pretty rainbow, so snapped a picture of it. I havne't taken a picture of rainbow in years.. MANY years.

2010-09-21T15:16:00.003-04:00

This is from my new animal kingdom cricut cartridge. I can't remember the gals name that made a card like this, but her chalking amazed me!! So... I had to try. I forgot that I gave my chalks away, so I had to improvise with PTI's snow white ink and a q-tip. It turned out okay, but not as good as the other gals, man.. hers was AMAZING!!!! I ended up making 4 of these, trying to mass produce, thats why I left a sentiment off the front, will stamp something as I need it.. (birthday, thank you, whatever it may be). I have to learn more how to mass-produce cards, my stash is waaaaay too low.

Halloween

2010-09-21T15:11:00.002-04:00

I wanted to ink up a few stamps that I haven't used before, and this was one of them. I fell in love with this lil guy when I seen him on wild sprinkles blog. Adorable right? Anyway, just made up a quick card with the lil guy. Isn't halloween the best holiday. I have so many adorable halloween stamps, I have to find more people to send cards too. Enjoy

2010-08-10T12:22:00.000-04:00

Here is another recipe card. This one I used a new cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. I think the cuttlebug with the folders is my absolute FAVE tool to use! Last count I had "40" folders. Oh My Gosh!!! When does it end????? ANyway, these recipes are really fun to make, and I have to get on the ball and get more done to share with all of you. Please keep the comments coming, I always enjoy reading what you think...

2010-08-09T11:16:00.000-04:00

Here is another recipe card I made. These are really fun to make, kind of time-consuming, but I think it will be worth it when I can have a whole cookbook full of these goodies. The stamp is an older one from TAC, I thought it would be perfect for this chicken casserole recipe. Fun to make, more to come. Spread the word to follow my blog, I might have a give-away coming up, but need more followers...

2010-08-02T21:17:00.000-04:00

Here is another recipe card. I am really loving the looks of these. I am just afraid of running out of ideas, as they are pretty small. I am making them 4x6. (NOT alot of room for embellishments). I love this riley stamp! I colored it with copics. I edged the card with pti's tea stain ink. Thanks Michelle Wooderson for the inspiration on doing these cards.

2010-08-02T21:14:00.000-04:00

Here is another shot of the little book attached to the front of the card. TOO fun to make!!!

2010-08-02T20:50:00.000-04:00

This was SO fun to make.. All the stamps and dies are from Papertrey Ink. One of the designers for pti, made a little booklet out of the spiral notebook die, so I copied her idea. I love making these little "books" to go on the front of a card. I intertwined the new thread from them as well to bind it together, I have 5 pages total. I tucked it into the library card holder that I embossed with a new folder as well. It was so fun to make. I love the ticket die and the matching stamp set for it. SO many possibilities. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

2010-08-02T20:46:00.000-04:00

I have seen so many neat recipe cards done up, I thought it was my turn to try. I am a huge fan of michelle wooderson's blog, and also Tracy Harp's blog. "THEY" are the reason I wanted to do up my recipes. It is quite a job, but when I get all my 'fave' recipes done up all nice and cute like this, I think I will love it!! I also used my cricut on this one cutting the soup pot. The saying stamped under it is from There she goes rubber stamps, it says, "The last time I cooked this hardly anyone got sick?'... TOO FUNNY.... More recipes to follow... let me know what ya think

2010-07-22T12:30:00.000-04:00

A quick fun card. I am still struggling to get myself organized in my new room. Yes, it is all put away, but it is hard to get used to where things are, when I could grab for something with my eyes closed in my last room. But, this will work, just takes time. You can't tell but the main image is pop-dotted off, for a bit of depth. The new max and whiskers line of paper was used. I LOVE that stuff!!!! More to come......

2010-07-22T12:26:00.000-04:00

Okay, so my mom and me went shopping, and I saw this super-duper cute pattern at one of her quilt stores. How hard can it be right????? I love the moda line of fabrics, so of course instead of buying "one" charm pack, I had to buy two! We'll see how hard it is to make this. I am hoping I can do it. My mom is the best quilter I know. Her work is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She can pick out great colors and match them up perfect!!! I hope the apple didn't fall far from the tree with that.. we'll see.. stay posted.

2010-07-10T15:32:00.001-04:00

This is another card I made using my good friend Nancy's line of stamps. She is so talented!!! I like the way it turned out using the cuttlebug folders too. Thanks Nance!

2010-07-10T09:43:00.000-04:00

Caught this lil critter heading to the bird feeder.... I love the expression on his lil face.. he just looks plain guilty!! Loving my new camera. More to come again soon....

2010-07-09T20:13:00.000-04:00

My room is done!!! This is like the 3rd or 4th time I have redone my room. I think I have been in just about every room in the house, but this is now "home" for my stamping room! I love it too. I bought an 8 foot countertop for a work surface and loving it!! I also bought the cabinets unfinsihed and painted them myself, along with putting the drawer pulls on myself. I made the curtains, put together the bookcase. It was a long project, but I am very pleased with theresults. THis fall I want to get a nice flat screen tv to hang from the wall, so that will free up more counter space yet!! Let me know what ya think....

2010-07-09T20:00:00.003-04:00

Playing around with my cricut.. I made this for my dogs bed. I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. Pete sure likes it :)

2010-06-20T19:04:00.000-04:00

My peonies are looking kind of rough, like they have had better days. They are all dropped to the ground. I'm not sure if it is because of all the rain we have been getting or if it because they are all so top heavy. I need to split these plants and transplant them elsewhere because they are so big. Believe it or not, this is only 2 plants!! They smell so pretty though!!

the first fawn of the year

2010-06-03T19:35:00.001-04:00

I saw this and was so glad I had my iphone with me. Its fur was still wet, and when it got up to leave, it was very shakey and wobbly.

Valentines

2010-01-31T16:22:00.000-05:00

THis was another one of my many purchases yesterday. I fell in love with these two little love birds (love owls). A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! The owls are new from stampendous (I think), the wild for you stamp was from the Michaels dollar bin, and shiny little doo-dads in the bottom right corner. I colored with copics, I need more practice with coloring though. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but have fun trying to figure it out :)

More to come...

Valentines

2010-01-31T16:17:00.000-05:00

Yesterday a dear friend of mine and I went on a stampin/scrappin shopping spree. We were well overdue! I went a little crazy in Archivers. I fell in love with this stamp from Heroarts. Isn't it just the cutest thing ever???? I embossed the cupcake wrapper with fine white embossing powder (thanks to boyfriends mom who gave me a TON of different colors of embossing powders). Then I added stickles to the sprinkles on the cake part, and there are shiny little doo-dads on the bottom of the cake. I like the way it turned out.. stay tuned more to come from my trip...

2009-09-27T16:01:00.000-04:00

My good friend Nancy created this stamp. She is SOOO talented!! I love the fact that she can draw and create her own stamp line. I love this stamp. I am getting TOO many favorites lately. This was colored with copics, no embellishments, but I love the simplicity of it. Another fun stamp to use.

2009-09-27T15:57:00.000-04:00

2 of my favorite stamp companies.. Judith and Riley's! I wasn't too sure how this was going to turn out as I was making it, but I am pleased with the results. Riley is SO fun to color. My collection of him is growing quite quickly! Fun card to make.

2009-09-27T15:51:00.000-04:00

Its funny, but right when you think they can't come out with a cuter Riley than the last release.. "THEY DO!"... THis is probably one of my faves "again!". Just too adorable!!! I colored it with copics, used the cuttlebug folder, and patterned paper, along with my nesties. Coloring can be time consuming, but I love how it turned out.

bird

2009-05-13T19:47:00.001-04:00

I was so happy today when I looked outside and saw the Indigo Bunting at the feeder. Such a pretty blue they are. I bought the new "Scott's" bird seed they advertise on tv to attract more colorful birds to your feeder. It seems to be working good, I had this little guy, a bunch of yellow finches and purple finches, and also a rose-breasted grossbeak. It sure is nice to watch them out my office window. They seem to like the new food, as the feeder is almost empty already.

flopsey

2009-05-02T14:55:00.000-04:00

another flopsey... are you tired of it yet? This card was made with my new favorite punch by ek success. Also I used nesties for the scalloped rectangle, I also used liquid pearls on the scallops. I stamped out flopsey and cut it out and then pop-dotted it to stand out. It is still lacking something, but I like the looks of it.

2009-05-02T13:28:00.000-04:00

Here is another thing I bought on my shopping trip last week with my good friend Vivian. "CHANGITO"... who would've ever thought a monkey could be so cute! I also used my new ek success border punch (love), some eyelets, and also the cuttlebug border embossing folder of buttons. I was going to add 2 tiny buttons on his pajamas, to tie in with the border. I thought I knew exactly where my teenie, tiny buttons were, but they weren't there. Guess that means I gotta clean my supplies and re-label stuff. Fun card to make....

Flopsey

2009-05-02T13:23:00.000-04:00

Another Flopsey card. I dont 'know why I waited as long as I did to take the plunge and buy these sets. He is adorable~! I also used some prima flowers, the martha stewart branch, (love that punch!)... the sentiment is from Papertreys anniversary set.. thanks again nance! I also used the new ek success border punch that I bought last Tuesday. Love that punch as well. I colored with copics, I wish my pictures were better, the card looks even better in real life. I will ahve to play around to try and take better pictures. Very fun card to make

Flopsey

2009-05-02T13:18:00.000-04:00

One of my newest stamp sets that I adore. "Flopsey", I love coloring him in, this was a very fun card to make. I pop-dotted the square that he is on for some dimension. I dont' know why I dont' use popdots more, it really adds to a card. I colored it with copic markers. The sentiment is from papertreys anniversary set that my dear friend Nancy sent me. "THANK YOU Nance, it is one of my favorites that I am always reaching for!"... a very fun card to make

Riley

2009-04-08T18:45:00.000-04:00

Another Riley!! This one I cut the trees out with my cricut as well. paper pierced the nestabilitie circle with Riley in. Colored him with copic markers. Did a flannel background stamp to try and match his shirt that I made him. (yup, if you look real close it is a flannel)... I also used a little distressed ink from Tim Holtz for the edges of the card. The picture isn't hte greatest, but I was anxious to post it. More to come...

2009-04-08T18:41:00.000-04:00

This stamp is from my friend Nancy. She is the creator of it and you can find it at cornishheritagefarms. Her line is called shady tree. What a beautiful and detailed stamp. I love it. I also put a little stickles on the tulip for a little shimmer. The background stamp is an older stampin up. More cards to come....

Riley

2009-04-08T18:35:00.000-04:00

This card looks better in real life. The coloring is off, but I wanted to post it anyway. You gotta love Riley, and what an outdoors-ey little Riley he is, sawing some wood. Looks like he is sawing it for his little log-cabin in the background. Colored Riley with copics, cabin and trees, with prismapencils. Paper-pierced the circle that was cut out with nestabilities. I think Riley is my new favorite stamp.

2009-03-18T18:56:00.000-04:00

Winter friends??? I thought this would be an adorable picture, and I hoped that they would 'stay put' till I could go and get my camera. We have had these little critters all winter long, but I never seen them this close to one another before. They were just chowing down on the birdseed, and enjoying the spring day we had...

2009-02-27T17:16:00.000-05:00

I posted a pic of the male the other day, and today I was lucky enough to catch a snapshot of the "Mrs." I love that they are coming this close to the house. I think they are such pretty birds. More cards to come.....

2009-02-25T16:15:00.000-05:00

I love the way this card turned out. Another one made from papertreys quilters sampler set. I cuttlebugged the background, stamped out some of the blocks and colored them, and the blue ones are just punched out from patterned paper. I love the way they look together. A button threaded with floss to finish it off, and voila' a cute card. (I think anyway)

2009-02-25T16:10:00.000-05:00

These were some fun cards that I made for my mom to give to her quilting friends. I used papertrey kraft cardstock for the base card. The sentiment is also from the same set as the blocks, quilters sampler. I used a making memories heart brad. Fun cards to make.

2009-02-25T16:06:00.000-05:00

I thought I would post the picture I took this morning of my favorite bird I have coming to my feeders. I just love cardinals. They are so pretty.

2009-02-19T15:36:00.000-05:00

I talked my mom into getting this set for me, so I could make cards for her quilting friends. I think this is one of my most favorite sets yet from papertrey. I cuttlebugged the background, and then used my scor-pal do divide the cuttlebug part and the plain part. Used a prima flower, along with my favorite martha stewart punch, thread a button, and voila a cute little quilting card!

2009-02-19T15:31:00.000-05:00

This was a fun card to make. Sometimes I forget about sets I have. I colored it with my newest toys the 'copic markers'.. gosh they are great! I used the nesties for the scallope circle for the boat. Ribbon, red eyelet to match the life preservers on the boat. Stampin up photo corner punch, and of course that gorgeous basic grey paper!!

2008-12-24T16:50:00.000-05:00

THis is another one of my favorite Riley stamps, all of them are so darn cute. I just love how he is sitting back, relaxing, and about to enjoy a cupcake. Cuttlebugged, scor-pal, stampin up paper. Colored with prismas/gamsol.

This is the first thing I attempted to try and do with my cricut and vinyl. I think I am hooked on vinyl now.

This was such a fun card to make. I cuttlebugged the back, and paper-pieced his little sweater. I think I will be doing that more often, it just adds so much more to the image. I always like how it matches the designer paper.

2008-12-24T11:31:00.001-05:00

This was my first attempt at sewing on a card. Still have mixed feelings on it. I like the way it turned out, but I need the practice. (Still trying to figure out how to keep the sewing machine set up somewhere so its always accessible.) Not too bad tho, cuttlebugged of course, and nestie'd too. (is that even a word???)

2008-12-24T11:27:00.000-05:00

I have found that two of my favorite tools now are my cuttlebug folders, and the nestie dies. I love them both! I used 2 different cuttlbug folders on here, and the nestie circle to cut out. I love it.

2008-10-21T18:14:00.000-04:00

A different sort of card for me. Cuttlebugged the green layer, then paper pierced around the whole outside edge of that, added a prima flower with a dew drop in the center, add a couple ms branch punches and done. Time to go play and make some more.. what do you think?

2008-10-21T18:10:00.000-04:00

Another fun halloween card to make. This is another one of my favorite sets "best fiends". I just can't decide which one I like the most, the witch, frankenstein, or dracula. This was fun, I prisma/gamsol colored, used the cuttlebug swirl folder, added some prima flowers, along with some black stickles, the MS branch punch (which I LOVE)... throw on some ribbon, and I was done. What do ya think?

2008-10-21T18:06:00.000-04:00

This is my first attempt at dry embossing with the nestie folders. I love the way it turned out. This is sort of a "plain Jane" kind of card, but I still like it. I prima pencil/gamsoled the coloring. The sentiment is from papertrey ink. The little orange star is from K&Company. Overall I like the card, now to figure out who to send it to for Halloween....

2008-10-08T14:58:00.000-04:00

Here is my attempt at making the house cards. What a time-consuming card to make! But all in all, I think I am happy with the results. I think what took the longest was cutting out Riley with that Christmas tree. So many little crooks and crannies to get into. I also struggled with the curtains. I used ribbon, and not sure I would go that route again. But it was fun to make. Someone special will be getting this card!

2008-10-07T15:26:00.000-04:00

Okay, I know its not a craft project, but I just had to post this picture that I took last week. A little buck stealing apples from my tree!!! Crazy thing came by 5 times that day. I thought this would be a fun picture to share.

2008-10-07T08:46:00.000-04:00

This card was fun to make using the tradtional christmas colors. I liquid appliqued their hats for a fun touch. ALso used a silver brad for an extra little depth. I pop-dotted the main image but you can't really tell. Colored it with prisma pencils. A fun card to make.. watch for more to come....

2008-10-07T08:41:00.000-04:00

I was so anxious to get my new stamps yesterday! This card there is alot going on. Not usually the way I do them, but I kind of like the way this one turned out. I cuttlebugged the background, colored the image with prima pencils, matted it on blue, used liquid pearls for the hats, and then some stickles. Also my newest love of prima flowers, I also did the liquid pearls for the center of the flowers to try and pull it all together. Then the martha stewart branch stamp, are stuck here and there. Not too bad looking, is it too busy tho?

2008-09-24T13:14:00.000-04:00

Seeing as I love halloween, I made some nuggets with matching halloween stuff. I love the way it turned out. Who can resist not smiling when they see that little spider from Booglie eyes. I think that is one of my favorite halloween sets. (As I sit and think I am starting to have TOO many halloween sets).. but anyway.. I love halloween and love crafting stuff for it.

2008-09-24T13:10:00.000-04:00

I thought I would share what I did with a stampin up! rub-on. Put it on my honda met scooter!! I LOVE the way it turned out and I keep thinking of all the possibilites of rub-ons now! I think it turned out pretty neat!

I LOVE this set, and was sad to see it retire. I think this is one of my most favorite cards I have made. I think for me to "like" my own cards, I need to use lots of layers and embellishments. I used the old designer stampin up paper from last years holiday collection, the new photo corner punch (which I don't know why I waited so long to buy, I LOVE it!).. and my newest favorite find "PRIMA FLOWERS"... used a brad in one and dew drop in the other. I am really pleased with how this card turned out. I think I may be making a few more of these for this years Christmas cards... Time to go play....

I thought I would try making a scenic card with my watercolor minis. I used them for the top part of the tree, and hand-drew the tree trunk. The grass and giraffe stamps are from Stamps By Judith. I love that little giraffe. The 'whats up', is from a set from amuse. I dont' think it turned out too bad for first time doing the scenic scene. It will take some practice, but its SO fun to play.

This little "Riley" has got to be one of my favorite stamps. I can say that I own a "few" of him. I love using the cuttlebug embossing folders too. (I have a "FEW" of them as well)... Anyways... this was fun to make, the merry christmas tag I got a Joannes a few years back, I also pop-dotted the tree. Not sure if you can tell or not tho. I used my prisma pencils and gamsol to color him in.

Riley fishing!! Is he not the cutest little guy ever? I used the prisma pencils along with the gamsol to color. I am trying to get the hang of that technique, having fun playing. Also used the cuttlebug embossing folder and a couple buttons for a little extra.

Riley camping! This card I did the 'making' technique with the tree behind the tent. Still getting the halo effect, not sure what I am doing wrong, but it turned out okay. The fire and flys are stampin up Roughin it set. Tree is from lovely as a tree, and of course 'little Riley'
The minute I seen the stamp of Riley fishing, I knew my stamps by judith stubbie "fish" would be perfect. I sponged the water on, Kinda cute.
This is an older set from stampin up that I always wanted. And finally got online. I love this sentiment along with all them little guys having fun in the pool. Cuttlebugged the background. giga, and mega punches, postage stamp scissors, and coloring with gamsol.
"How does your garden grow".... Kind of a plain card, but I like it the same. I wish I was better at matching papers together for cards, but mine never really turn out good. I also used a stampin up rub-on for the watering can. gamsol coloring

I love this little chick... I think it is adorable. I used the cuttlebug on this one as well, and also some basic grey paper. When I went to my first ever stamp convention this spring with my boyfriends mom and sisters, they turned me onto basic grey paper. I never heard of it before. I love those little 6x6 pads.
More of my Judith stamps. This one was fun to make, and so so simple! I also used the liquid pearls on the flowers, and the verse if from stampin up
Who doesn't love the bellas????? ADORABLE!!! I love this one, and I also used my rubber stamp tapestry strawberrie stamps for the corner. (Another stamp company I learned about at the convention!) I colored her with prismas and gamsol.
Yet more Judith stamps.... and the verse is stampin up. So simple, yet it looks kinda classy. I love judith stamps, and stampin up stamps, and ..... well I guess I LOVE all stamps!!!

Dorky Bird

With this little fella, I had to laugh. Tall bird, beating Dorky Bird over the head with a hammer. All stamps are judiths except the alphabet. I showed this to my boyfriend, and he's like, "Why is he beating up dorky bird?" I just laughed and said "Cuz he's dorky bird"... Don't get me wrong, I love them both, but this card makes me laugh. Fun to make...

Another Judith stamp I fell in love with, and by the looks of it, this silly giraffe is in love also with all the hearts fluttering around. How could a person not fall in love with a face like that??

Judith Stamps

I made the best trade ever on SCS. A lady traded me a bunch of her Judith stamps for some of my stampin up sets. I LOVE this bird, actually I love all of her stuff, from the birds, to the stubbies. They are all great. Still trying to get the gamsol technique down, but loving it. The hat is pop-dotted.

Over the Hill

2008-07-08T22:29:00.000-04:00

Another Riley. This card was so fun to make. I'm not sure who I will give it to, but at least I will have it on hand when someone turns "over the Hill"... He is so dang cute in that little car! I'm glad I am hooked on him as well now. I do my coloring with prisma pencils and the gamsol. I'm still trying to get that perfected, but am having so much fun trying.

Riley loves to Camp

I have seen so many cute "Riley" cards, I jumped on the bandwagon as well, and ordered me a couple. (Well, actually more like 8).. anyway.... I wanted to share the first card I made with him. Thank you Kittie747 for answering all my questions on masking. It will take some practice, but love this technique.
