Long May She Wave

Today I have my project for the Paper Cubed(P3) challenge blog, we were to make a table top decoration. I knew what I wanted to make early in the month but finding the time was another story. Make sure you check out all the FABULOUS projects the rest of the Design Team came up with and visit their blogs and comment.

I used Brilliant Blue(now retired), Riding Hood Red, and Very Vanilla card stock as well as a retired Christmas DP. I sponged everything with Crumb Cake ink, doesn't that make you hungry...Crumb Cake is one of the new colors that is available from Stampin Up today!!!! Crumb cake is the new name for Kraft and of course there is paper to go along with it. If you don't have a demonstrator already, let me know and I would be glade to place an order for you or you can order on-line at http://stampthenightaway.stampinup.net/ .

Friends

It's Friday! I have had a super busy week with running the kids here, there, and everywhere but today I have declared a stay at home do nothing day. I have a card today that has a hidden bookmark, I have seen several versions of this around and it is so easy to make. I used all new colors, Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, and Daffodil Delight. The stamp set is Vintage Vogue and the flower is a Sizzlet Flower. I made the bookmark using the Bigz Two Tag die. The ribbon is Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight.

Happy 4th of July

Good morning! Today I have a card featuring the stamp set Red, White, and Blue from the Summer Mini. I don't usually send 4th of July cards but I do usually make 4th of July scrapbook pages so I bought this stamp set for that reason. But I do like how the card turned out, I used Cherry Cobbler as the base and the retiring Brilliant Blue as the second layer. The stars are stamped with Whisper White ink. The scallop rectangle was made using a new die from the upcoming catalog called a Clearlit. It allows you see where you are positioning the die before you cut, it also leaves an embossed area around the outside much like a Spellbinders die does, I really like it and hope more of these are coming. The ribbon is Ridding Hood Red. Hope you like it!



Don't forget just a few days left to order from the Retiring List!

Enjoy the Journey

Happy Hump Day, hope you having a good week! Today I used the MOJO Monday sketch for this week to make my card. I made two attempts to color the bicycle in and messed them up so I just left it as it is, I am ok with it, actually think it makes it more of the focal point. The stamp set is called Pedalling Past and is from the Summer Mini. I used paper from the Sweet Pea paper pad which is retired and the brads are from my stash, they reminded me of the spokes on the wheels.

God's Opinion

Good Monday Morning! Summertime is definitely here, we are supposed to have high 90's all week. I said back in the winter that I wouldn't complain and I'm not complaining just thankful for air conditioning. I found a new challenge at Embellish Magazine and decided to try it put. The challenge was to make a baby card(one of my favorite cards to make) using the colors peach, yellow, green, and cream. I used Very Vanilla, Peach Parfait, and Pear Pizazz(makes me want ice cream:) card stock and So Saffron DSP. The baby onsie is from the stamp set Baby Bundle and the sentiment is from Occasional Quotes both available in the new catalog on July 1. I also used the new scallop circle punch.

Happy Father's Day!

Hope you are having a wonderful day and if you are lucky enough to spend it with your father count it as a blessing! My husband had to work today so we are going to celebrate with him tomorrow and since Friday was Baby Dalton's birthday we are having a birthday party as well. I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch for my design today, easy way out! The stamp set is from the Summer mini and is called King of the Grill. It is a great set to use for those hard to make masculine sets but if you want it you only have until August 30 to get it since it didn't make it to the new catalog. I used more retired DSP but can't remember the name of it, I used Marina Mist card stock which really matched it well. The background is the yummy Crumb Cake. Hope you like it!

Congratulations!

Good morning! I have been absent for several days, the modem on my computer must have taken a lightning strike. Glad it was just the modem and not the entire computer like it was last year. Anyway, here is a baby card for today using a new set from the upcoming catalog called Baby Bundle. I love that little baby peeking out of the stroller! I am so looking forward to the new catalog and the new colors, my favorite returning color is Pink Pirouette and my favorite new color is Early Espresso. We weren't allowed to order Pink Pirouette yet but I had hoarded just a few pieces so I pulled them out for this card. I don't know the name of the DSP, I have sooo much retired paper and I am trying to use some of it up before the new catalog. Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!

Sweet Sunday Sketch

It is good to be home, I love to get away but I am always glad to be home except for the mountain of laundry that awaits me. Today I have a card using the Sweet Sunday Sketch. I used some new DSP called Greenhouse Gala and Pear Pizazz card stock. The sentiment is from the stamp set Occasional Quotes and will be available in the new catalog.


A big THANK YOU to those who ordered while I was away, they are entered in the drawing for a $50.00 SU gift certificate. It isn't too late, you have until the end of the month, for every $50.00 before taxes and shipping your name is added to the hat! It would be a good time to get those retiring items before it is too late, many of them are already sold out. Thanks to Jayne, Gloria, Caren, and Bettye so far!!!!

Because I Care

Today I have a card with a Level 1 Hostess set that will be in the new catalog in July. The set is called Because I Care and I used a new color Concord Crush for the coloring in of the flower and for the background piece. Hope you like it!

Hey, What's up?

Good morning! Today I have the last card in the Birthday Set I have been sharing. This one is my favorite mostly because when my youngest son was little he loved Steggie so much. He carried little toy dinosaurs in his hands all the time. When I would carry him to bed at night, I would take them out of his hands and put them under his pillow so he would know where to find them when he woke up. His son, Dalton, loves to carry around two empty Tombow glue bottles. He comes into my craft room and the only thing he bothers is the glue bottles.
