September Stamp Camp III

More birthday cards! While the cupcake set and the cupcake die never rocked my boat, I do LOVE this card!!! Sue has such good ideas!!! I want a cupcake now!!

September Stamp Camp II

I love this set & MUST get it!! I also must learn how to color stamps w/markers!!! Hmm, can I send this card to myself. I just can't seem to shake this cold!!!

September Stamp Camp I

It was Stamp Camp last Saturday!! My favorite day of the month! (maybe even more fun than payday!) I LOVE this b'day card. I love the stripe paper backed w/a solid (soft suede in this case, the only one of the new "in colors" I like. Seems like everyone loves every other color!) Since I'm heading into b'day central (my niece, my nephew, my son, my MIL, my bro & ME!) I can use all the b'day cards I can get!!!

SNOW!!!

Ok, just a few flakes. On some ATCs. I don't even remember who's swap this is. I really wanted a different feel for this but ended up going w/the bling. Nothing else worked the way I wanted. The background paper is a little shimmery, not sure if you can tell in this pic.....

Last Halloween ATC

for now anyway. LOL. Candy Corn ATC. This looked much better in my head. It turned out ok but I'm not sure the glitter helped at all.

More Halloween ATCs

More ATC for Chris's Halloween theme ATCs. This one is for Bats. I've had this frame for a long time and finally had an excuse for using it!

Glue Dots

My Stamp Shack buddy Kerry posted a link to this video on making homemade glue dots. I seem to go thru glue dots VERY quickly and never seem to have the "right" size. So I made these. They work very well! The only complaint is they are not flat or paper thin. Next time I make some, I'm going to try to smush them BEFORE they dry & see if they come out flatter that way. Give them a try!

Halloween ATC

For Chris' Spider Swap. I stole this "cameo" kinda idea from someone but I can't remember who. I hate spiders but this came out cute!

Halloween ATC

For Angie's Halloween Free For All swap. Once again, Changito RULES!!! Once again, DO NOT stamp on black pattern paper if you want to keep your sanity!!! Plus, if you notice, there are TWO pieces to the goodie bag. That top piece was a KILLER!!!

Halloween ATC

For Chris' Mummy Swap. I saw this stamp in a set at Michael's and HAD to get it for this swap. I think this kitty is just too cute!!

Halloween ATC

For Suzanne's Fall Colors swap. The background paper is a metallic embossed paper I've had FOREVER and the leaves are heat embossed w/copper powder.

Halloween ATC

For Chris' Dracula swap. Gotta love even a Dracula dress Changito. For the record, NEVER stamp on black patterned paper. It's nearly impossible to cut it out correctly.

August Stamp Camp III

This card was VERY hard to put together. But, I love how it turned out! There was stuff stamped on the inside but I forgot to take a pic. We also did a 4th card but I still haven't put mine together. There was discussion over ribbon placement & I never landed anywhere with it.

August Stamp Camp II

I really dig this card. I did change a bit from the sample. The khaki circles and stars were supposed to be white. I didn't like the contrast of the white against the khaki so I changed it. LOL I wish I had stamped MORE stars on the twill tape!

August Stamp Camp I

Last week's stamp camp! Such a manly card. Since I don't usually send cards to man-friends, one of my girlies will get it. It's got flowery bud things on it, that's girly, right?? We used the white gel pen to color on the embossed bird.
