Celebrate!

Today's card was the one and only masculine card in the group at my stamp a stack...and I love how it turned out!  Generally masculine cards are usually just "there" if you know what I mean.  There's something to this Feeling Sentimental set that I really like though.  I'd love to say I came up with this idea on my own, but I was inspired by Elizabeth H. on Splitcoast.   You can check out her card here.  


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Pleasant Poppies

Today I thought I'd post one of the cards we're making for this month's stamp a stack.  If you could see all of the cards, you'd notice four out of five are definitely telling you I'm ready for spring and summer. :)  I made a card similar to this one for my upline's open house and thought I'd copy that card for this class.  Guess I didn't get a picture of it though and of course I don't remember exactly what I did...figures! lol

RHSSC - Warmest Wishes

Well, I'm back again for the Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge after taking a break last week.  I must say this challenge was definitely a hard one for me.  I was tempted to turn it upside down and try something, but I couldn't come up with anything I was satisfied with.  You don't even want to know what my husband and daughter were telling me to do! lol  Don't forget to check out the other Red Hots' sketches here

Valentine's Day - 2

Here's my last Valentine project that I made for my upline's open house.  Even though you can't tell it from the pictures, but the top of it is left open.  I never did buy anything to tuck into it, but it would fit a candy bar or a few small ones just perfectly.  After I made the first side of it I decided to make the other side opposite of the first side.




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Yeah!  Thanks to Bunco night I was finally able to get pics of all the cards and projects that I did for my upline's open house!  I thought I'd start with the valentine projects that I did since we just finished up with that holiday.  I guess I really like Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla colors together.  I had totally forgotten that I had made this card and ended up making one of my daughter's valentine's card these same colors.  Anyway any cards/projects that I post from the open house feature one of two things...either the Occasions Paper-piercing Pack or the Pop-up Posies Kit.  This card features the paper-piercing.  It goes perfectly with the Hearts Collection Framelits set.  Paper-piercing can really add just the right touch to a card.  If your card seems a little blah, just pierce it. :) 


Since I just did a Valentine card I thought I'd show you what I got from my hubby for Valentine's Day.  My favorite flowers...carnations!  As a matter of fact, just seeing them and smelling them made me want to make up one of my own.  


My flower turned out a bit smaller than the real flowers, but I thought I'd tuck it in with the rest of them just for the fun of it, and of course take a pic! :) 


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
