Wedding Celebrations

I tried making an easy card but not sure how good the colors are for a wedding card. I might could use it for a shower card.

Did I get enough dots on this card or what? The Paisley designer paper is still some of my favorite from SU. I love bright colors.

Garrett & Lily

Here is a picture of our new puppy Lily. She is a 7-week old beagle that has already won our hearts. She is the reason I went about a week with no postings. It's like having a child that just learned to crawl again. Everything goes in the mouth and she doesn't sleep through the night. We love her though, especially Garrett. He can't get enough of her. Our other beagle, Riley, came into his life when Garrett was only 2 so he doesn't remember him as a puppy. He likes that he can hold Lily in his hands. Riley is too big for him to hold.

Z-Fold Card




This is called a z-fold card. It was one of the challenges on SCS. It was very easy to make but I also think it turned elegant looking. I made it into a sympathy card. I love making cards with SU designer paper. It is such good quality paper and you don't realize how pretty it actually is until you see it in person. Stamps: Garden Whimsy, God's Blessings; Paper: Soft Sky, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, White, Fall Flowers Designer, Old Olive Designer; Ink: Certainly Celery, Basic Black; Accessories: SU Scallop Circle Punch, Marvy Uchida Giga Scallop Oval Punch, Coluzzle, White Gel Pen, Bashful Blue Stampin' Write Marker, Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Marker, Soft Blue (Non SU) Grosgrain Ribbon.

I'm Bright Again


Well, I got right back on the wagon for the bright colors. I like this much better than the moose I posted earlier today. I'm having lots of fun using the Flowers for You designer paper but I can't wait until I get the Cutie Pie designer paper in. I have seen so many great samples on SCS using that paper. The puppy is awake again so I need to finish this quickly before she chews the leg off my table. Bless her!!!!!!!! Stamps: Double-Line Doodles, In the Spotlight, Just for You, Whimsy Jumbo Wheel; Paper: Lovely Lilac, Certainly Celery, Temp. Turquoise, Regal Rose, White, Flowers for You Designer; Ink: Lovely lilac, Temp. Turquoise, Pretty in Pink, ; Accessories: Hodgepodge Hardware, 3/4" Circle Punch, Stampin' Write Markers in Lovely Lilac, Temp. Turquoise, Certainly Celery, Summer Sun, Pretty in Pink.




Iridescent Moose

This is the first card I have made with this stamp set. It's a really cute set. I can't wait to use the porcupine. This looks like a fall card and I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be fall yet. I think I'll go back to the bright colors again. They are really my favorites. The moose is embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder on glossy paper. It's real sparkly in person. Stamps: Moose You, Hugs & Wishes, Fancy Flexible Phrases; Paper: Really Rust, Old Olive, Groovy Guava, Glossy White, Fall Flowers Designer; Ink: Choc. Chip, Versamark; Accessories: Round Tab Punch, Square Rhinestone Brads, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

Colorful Whimsy

Well, it's been a week since I've posted anything. During that week we acquired a new beagle puppy. She is absolutely adorable. We named her Lily. She has kept me quite busy. It's almost midnight and she's asleep so I thought I would take advantage and get some stamping time in. This card was a lot of fun to make. SU has so many new accessories that I love to play with. The butterfly is actually popped up and is embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. It really pops in person. To all my clubbers, I have lots of pretty stuff to show you next week at Club. Stamps: Garden Whimsy, In the Spotlight, Big Celebrations, Whimsy Jumbo Wheel; Paper: Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, White, Soft Sky Designer; Ink: Purely Pomegranate, Bashful Blue, Basic Black, VersaMark; Accessories: Circle Rhinestone Brads, Scallop Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Slit Punch, Wild Wasabi Ribbon, Paper Piercer, White Gel Pen.
