Criss Cross Card

I'm using up some of my pattern paper and this is a great way to do it! All it takes is pattern paper, cardstock, punches, stickers ribbon and a couple of stamps and you are done...easy.

Thank You

I found a stamped piece in a drawer and thought it was time to make a card out of it. It's made with blue and green chalk inks, added a paperclip and skeleton leaf.

Halloween Time

Happy Fall everyone!  Here is a card I made using a Stampendous stamp that I inked with Versamark and embossed with a black glitter embossing powder.  I then Colored it with watercolor pencils, cut out the images layered onto card stock and glued to a black card.  I then applied two different widths of double sided adhesive and sprinkled with green and purple glitter.

The Big Move

We have just moved to Oklahoma from Southern California and what a big change it is.  Never would I have thought I would move away from where I was born and raised!  My husbands job got transfered and we had to go where the job was, so we packed up the house, kids and my mom and here we are!  I think we will really enjoy it, the people seem very nice and the pace of life is slower...now just to meet people.

My stamp room is all in boxes and the moving company smashed two of my book shelves.  I'm hoping to find room for all of my stuff...maybe I should start stamping and use some of it up, that would take care of the problem lol.

I hope all of my stamping friends are doing well, I will stop by your blogs and check on you.

Hello, Hello

I love this stamp set from Stampendous and I use it all of the time! To make this card I started with a brown paper bag, cut it to the size I needed. Then spritzed it with water, crumpled it up real well then opened it and lay it down without flattening it. A mushroom colored ink pad was rubbed over the top of the paper and then lightly spritz with water again but not too much. Let dry (you can speed this along with a heat gun), stamp the image with black and color in with pencils. Stamp olive paper with a background using lettuce ink. Layer all of the pieces as shown and stamp "hello" two times along the right side. Tie with ribbon and mount to a white card.

Hello all of my blogging friends! Here is a cheerful card for you, all stamps are by Stampendous. You should go check out their website and there great blog. The flower was stamped with black VersaFine ink, heat set and colored with water color pencils. You can't tell but there is glitter on the petals and dots. Both the black and white papers were cut using a Coluzzle. Thank you was stamped on a white square and the dots were stamped in cool peri Adirondack ink. This was then layered onto a black square and a white gel pen was used to make the dots. The fold of the card is tied with a light green ribbon. Then don't forget to stamp smile, smile, smile on the decorative paper in black.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll have another card up soon :)

Blast From The Past

Here is a card I made quite a while ago and thought I would re-post it. The stamps are from Stampendous and the flower is watercolored. It is a real simple card with great decorative papers.
What have I been up to? Well my MIL has now been in the hospital for 28 days and she will probably get moved to a nursing home within a week. We don't know if she will get well enough to go back home or not.
This week I had family in from out of state that met the kids for the first time and it was wonderful seeing them for the two days they were here.
Melanie had finals this week and only has one more day to go, boy am I ready for summer!
I hope all of my blogging friends are doing well, I plan on making the rounds to all of your blogs. Have a great weekend!
