Father's Day

Scott's Father's Day Card. Made it in Springfield why I was there. Anyone out there who doesn't just love Changito??

Father's Day

My card for my dad for Father's Day. Some months ago I bought these neato Tim Holz stamps from Michael's. As is usually the case, even tho I LOVE something, I don't get around to using it right away. So, I thought they'd be perfect for my Dad. I was happy with the card & he was impressed.

Another Time Swap

This is for a swap that Christie is hosting. I had my fruit swap ready to go but, for some reason, never mailed it to Christie. She sent a reminder email. I was ready to send it to her when I realized she was also hosting this Time swap. So, I whipped this out that evening (helped that I woke up in the middle of the night & couldn't sleep & worked on this then!) and mailed it off w/the fruit swap. I love how it turned out!!

Sheepie ATC

This is one of my High Hopes stamps. I ordered it for Angie's barnyard theme swaps. I absolutely LOVE this stamp. I think she's so cute. I found this paper on clearance at Archivers. Of course, this is the ATC that I was working on when I destroyed my Nestabilities :(

My scheduled posts aren't posting!!!

What's up with that. I've been messing w/these things for 3 days!! ARGH!! I guess I need to just delete them & start over??? Sorry for the technical difficulties!

June Stamp Camp! IV

I believe this is my New favorite set!!! I love this tree!!! It's so cool! I think I've loved everything I've seen done with it. While these colors don't rock my world, I totally love this card. Even down to the corduroy button inside!!

Here's a funny: while I'm posting this, I'm doing 17 other things. Well, I'm reading blogs. I come across Traci's blog & guess what I see? LOVE IT TOO!!!!!

June Stamp Camp! Part III

While not a huge fan of orange, I did really like this card. We embossed the DSP w/that Manhattan flower folder (can't remember the name of it but it seems we use it every month, I should learn it) then sanded the color off. Hmmm, who do I know who digs orange & has a b'day coming up......

June Stamp Camp! Part II

Sue's "manly" card for this month. I really, really liked the colors & stamps used on this. So much so I decided I wanted to send it to one of my girlfriends & didn't make it into a Father's Day card. Later, I realized I NEEDED FD cards & had to make some up on vacation. Oh well.

June Stamp Camp!

Yes, it's that time again! May SC was late so it just seems like we just had it a few weeks ago (ok, it doesn't just seem like it, we DID just have it but, I digress...)


Another cute 3D projects. I like this little basket but, as a rule, I'm not a fan of 3Ds 'cause I have NO WHERE to store them. But, this little beauty didn't even get to the basement. I had a hair appointment after stamp camp & filled it with candy & took it to Sherri. Help grease the wheels to get Sherri to agree to come in & check on Jack while we were gone to Springfield. Not that she needed greasing; she is such a good person & a good friend! She's the BEST!!!

My new obsession! I'm IN LOVE w/these new printed Prima flowers! I have 4 bottles of the original Primas & I rarely use them. I don't know why. I never fell in love w/them when I bought them (Sarah wanted to split a "box" of them and I bought some white ones thinking I could color them but never figured out how). But, 2 weeks ago at Michael's, I had 2 coupons & nothing to buy. So, Becca talked me into the Prima's 'cause she thought they were pretty. Now, I want them ALL!!! Every M's coupon I get, it's earmarked for Primas!!!

I did a bad bad thing!!!

Oh, life is soooo not good right now. I was making my Sheep ATCs for Angie's swap. I wanted to use my nifty-neato label nesties. Well, I cut one out, to see how it would work. Then I went to cut out something else. Didn't realize the nestie was stuck to the bottom of my "C" plate and into the CB it went. The sandwich resisted going thru and so I tried harder. Then I realized something must be wrong. I pulled the sandwich out & my nestie fell in my lap :( I tried to run it thru to top to flatten it back down but it won't flatten. It still cuts but not very clean (although, this is the nestie that was "defective" before & wouldn't cut clean). I called Spellbinders & was told I can not buy one nestie, I have to buy the whole set. So, at some point, I'm going to order another label set. Then, I guess I'll give away my partial set. I'm bummed!!

If you have cows & horses, you need a FENCE??

This is for Sherri's fence swap. I LOVE THIS!!! THe fence is so cute & I think I did a pretty good job coloring (ok, the sky is not perfect but it's watercolor, it doesn't have to be, right???) Another piece of stash background paper!! Yea me (Ok, on Saturday, I went to Archivers & bought like $15 worth of pattern papers. Not so yea me. :( )

ATCs until the Cows come home?

Again, for an Angie swap. Love this little cow! Hate my hand writing but, whacha gonna do?? Old CM patterned paper. Felt good getting rid of something so old!! You can't tell in this really out of focus pic (looked pretty good when I took it, go figure) but the horns & the bell are covered with crystal effects.

Stamp Camp part IV

Fun card to make (and we got to keep the template to make them again!). I really like the dress with the belt on it! Really "makes" the card!! I'm going to use this for a graduation card for a friends 8th grader! I probably will add some stickles or rhinestones to the scallops to make it pop & make the "sparkle" sentiment make more sense. LOL

Stamp Camp part III

Sue apparently really loves this flower embossing folder. It's cute but I'd really like to have a stamp camp WITH OUT it sometime!! LOL This was a cool looking card tho. (Please ignore the poor job I did w/the border punch, I'm still not good w/these!!) I really liked the pink & purple together.
