Tried something a little different with this flower (SU's Fifth Ave Floral) - I stamped the flower three times then cut a section from each one and popped them up to add a little dimension. Kind of a nice effect. Colors are baja and chocolate.
Judy S and I had a great time in Delta yesterday. I went a little overboard on the retail therapy, but I got some great new stuff - now I just need to find the time to play with it all!
Household chores today and then Shoebox Club tonight.
Enjoy your day.
Thought this would make a good "guy card". I used an old background stamp on the panel, then stamped the image (from Verve) and added a couple of brads. Easy! 
Another card using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I embossed the image on vellum for this card. Kind of a nice effect.
Wow - what a productive day I had yesterday. Kelly, Sue & Eileen can come crop with me any day! They brought lunch - delicious homemade chili, salad and lots of snack goodies and even took my dog for a walk! We cropped for almost 10 hours - thanks, ladies - it was a great day!
Have to decide what to work on today - would like to continue with my scrapbooking since I'm in a groove, but really need to work on some class projects. Oh, decisions, decisions!
Have a wonderful day!
New stamps! I just got some new stamps from Verve and couldn't wait to play with them. The flowers and saying on this card come from one of the sets that I got. Paper is from Basic Grey.
Sue, Eileen and Kelly are coming to crop today. Should be fun! I'm hoping to get a lot of pages done.
Have a great weekend!
I bet you thought I was done with the white on white thing, huh? Nope. Couldn't resist trying it with this Manhattan Flower. Pretty simple - just the flower and swiss dots.
Playtime tonight - yea! But I do have a few things to get done before that. (like clean off the tables so we have a place to work!)
Have a wonderful day.
Another cute little tree - this is another one from my shopping trip to Delta. It's a Heidi Grace set. Paper is SU - colors are baja and chocolate. I kind of wish I had used some wider ribbon - oh well, next time.
Today is my daughter's birthday
Happy Birthday Tracy!
Quite appropriate weather today as it snowed the day she was born too.
Have a wonderful day!
I saw a card like this somewhere in blog land and wanted to give it a try. I really liked the way it turned out. The card is celery - the strips are celery, saffron and burgundy on a black mat. The background grass on each strip is from Verve - the flower stamp is SU. (Flowers in Silhouette) The flower is stamped with Versa Mark and embossed with white. Celebrate stamp is CTMH.
Have to go get a hair cut this morning. Then I'm meeting my friend Leslie for lunch - woo hoo! - that will be fun as I haven't seen her for months!
Happy stampin'
This card layout is one I copied from Deb - she did this "quilt" card at our Shoebox club a couple weeks ago. I changed it up a bit and used different paper and embellishments. The paper is from CTMH and the butterfly is a cuttlebug die/embossing folder. I added some stitch lines to the background.
My creativity seemed to be on vacation yesterday, which means I didn't get much done on the class projects. So, it's back to the drawing board today.
Enjoy your day!
This card is done with SU's new Manhattan Flower embossing folder. I embossed the piece first, then cut away the end piece. I used my blender pen with baja ink and added just a bit of color here and there. (it doesn't show up much in the picture) I also sanded it just a bit to make the embossing show up a little more, but not sure it made a lot of difference.
I spent the day in my stamping room yesterday. Got quite a lot done. Yea! More of the same today I hope.
Enjoy your day!
