oh, so pretty!!!

so I felt in the mood to make a pretty card today and this is what I came up with!!

in the last post I had said that I was out of glue well I still am but I had found the tiniest amount of a glue runner and I ran with it Marty thought that I was crazy when I got so excited I almost peed myself. Tomorrow it is so on my shopping list to bye a tone of glue runners I don't want to run out again when I have so many things going through my head right now I want to be able to make what ever comes to mind!!

About the card. the stamp set is oh, so lovely and the DP is some that I had to have and then never used I have had it for months, card stock is River Rock, Bravo Burgundy, choc chip textured paper and,VV. the ink I used was River Rock and Timber Brown I got the ribbon at Walmart and the little pearls at the scrapbook store in coos bay Oregon!!! thank you so much for stopping by my blog!!! I hope you like what you see!!

so cute!!!

Well still out of glue so I had plenty of time to snap a picture or two of my little Hank! I cant help myself he is just so cute, so I thought that I would share him with the blogger world!!!

he was not really in the mood to have his picture taken and this is the only one I got worth posting before the batteries died. That is okay by me this is cute enough to kiss!!! Thanks for love'n on my baby with me!!!

SC143 Ruby Grays

there is onyl one color on here that I have used and that is Basic Gray, so this was kind of fun the other colors are Going Gray, and Ruby Red. I have had both of the for a long time and never opended them I think thy worked well for this chalenge!
I don't think that I am going to be uploading till after the first I am sooooooooooo out of glue. I have 1/4 of a glue runner and 1 zig pen just not enough for me to play much more. after all I have made 40 Christmas cards and 10 birthday invites and a few mis. cards here and there all in just two or three weeks it has been fun I may just have to sneek a trip to good ole Walmart (for milk that is;D) so I don't lose my groove
Thank you for looking!!!
Share you thoughts with me please!!! :D

Ava's Birthday Invites

For thoughs of you who know me, I know that Ava will not be three till the end of Nov. but I wanted to make this criss-cross card, with this set, and this paper, before it is way played out! You know how it go's when you spend to muck time on SCS, after a while of seeing the same set, paper, and styles, you just cant make yourself try it for yourself. So I am doing it now and I love them I think they just turned out great!

Ava's birthday party will be the first week in NOV. so that all of her little friends can be there seeing how thanksgiving is when her real birthday is! This is the first year that she get to have a real birthday party and she is all about she has been to many this summer and every couple of days or so she tells me that she is " Nugry for berday cake"! I think that I am as thrilled about having the party as much as she is!!!

thanks for looking please tell me what you think!!!!!

About the cards.

I used The new in colors paper ribbon and ink!

Garden Whimsy and A studioG $1 stamp from Mikes for the lets party brads and LOTS of glue!

Look It Is Not a Christmas Card

I have seen so many cards made with this paper and stamp set, and I just had to try one of my own. I also have never made a criss cross card so I thought I would try my hand at that. All in all I think things turned out pretty darn good!!!!!!!

I did make this card with some one in mind, don't do that very often. my FIL has been having some health problems and My DH had to make a spur of the moment trip back home to see him we could have ether drove with the kids and wanted to kill our selves by the time we got there or Just have Marty fly home (DH) thank good we found a great deal on a no notice plane ticket. the only down side to that is his dad has only met one of our children, so I hope when we have more time we can make it there for a visit!!!!

And the good news of all of this is his dad is doing much better and is home now

I made this card to let him and his wife know that I am thinking about them and sorry that I could not make the trip with Marty! this car is fitting they are both horse people they have several of there own horses and they buy and sell at action many times a year!!!!!

about the card!

I got the idea for the cute little scrolls from the twisted chick herself (thank you)

the paper is outlaw really rust and close to cocoa and confetti cream.

I got the ribbon at Walmart and the sweet little rhinestone's at a scrapbook store where my mom lives. All of the images are stamped in close to cocoa craft ink and clear embossed along with the green DP I distressed the edges and the sponged all the side!!!! TFL

please tell me what you think!!!!

well here it is set #4

this card is way prettier in person the snow flake background also has gold snow flakes and if the sun were shining today it most likely would have shown oh-well the stamp set used is once again Lizzie Ann's Christmas in the city, love this set!!!!! and the layout is SC142 good one right!!!!
I used the slit and ticket Conner Punch wine ribbon and safety pins mini glue dots and stickles and my SU markers!

the paper and ink used was guava pomegranate and gold I also used the textured VV
tell me what you think!!!!!!

Set #3 Christmas Cards

I was asked by my sister to do something simple and I just don't think that I am any good at simple!!! So I just kept the focal point small and played with the background till I was happy!

the colors used are pomegranate and basic gray ant the textured WW. to make the background I first stamped it in basic gray then silver then white and in the middle of the bigger white snow flakes I added some Stickels Soooooooo much easier than glitter! ( what a mess that stuff is)

I colored the Mary and Bright snowman and tree with my Lonely SU markers and again added Stickles for shine!!!!

Thanks for looking and I am looking for a good sketch for set #4 please help me out!!!

love this set

This is the second set of ten Christmas cards, I have made with this stamp set "CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY" from Lizzie Ann designs http://www.lizzieannedesigns.com/ I love love love this stamp set I already have the next set of cards in mind I just need help picking out the colors so if anybody has any ideas I am open ears ( or eye beings I have to read it here)!!! 20 down 20 to go. I think I can do it all with this one set of stamps, there is just so much you can do with it!!!!

this was the first set I did please tell the one you like best!!!

how's this for SS140

I am so happy being home with all of my own stamp stuff it is just so relaxing to sit and play and not have to worry about the mess I am making (all over my mothers house). I also think that my cards just turn out better!!!!!
So I was thinking this would be a great layout for at least 10 of my 40 Christmas cards 2 down 8 to go TFL!!!

get ready to be booed

well I thought that I would try my hand at masking, not as bad as I thought it would be! The two cards you see here did take all day but I had so much fun making them and I already know what I am going to do with them. I think that I will use these to BOO the neighbors and if you don't know what this is you are missing out it is great HALLOWEEN fun!!!! first you start by going to this web site http://www.myfolsom.com/Boo/ and pick your BOO all this is, is a color and instruction sheet. Sound like fun just wait, then you fix up a goody bag or basket and then you leave it on two of your neighborhood door steps after dark. they then put the BOO sheet up in there door so the don't get BOOED again and carry on the chain by BOOING two neighbors and so on and so on !!!! the kids love it!!!!
thanks for looking and have fun BOOING!!!!!!!!
