Christmas in July

for Chris's Christmas in July swap. I keep forgetting I have this stamp set. I love it & I love the BG paper!!

Memories of Palooza

This is one of the HARDEST swaps I've joined. There was lots going on in Indiana this spring and we were to choose a theme & make an ATC on it. Well, I'd seen what some of the other girls had done & they took all the good ideas! So, mine is a little far afield. The room we were in had issues with the the air conditioning. We spent half the time freezing to death. As soon as someone would nudge the temp up the tiniest bit, we'd be burning up! So, this is in memory of the Cold Room, Hot Girls at Palooza.

I Want Candy

This is for Joanne's Candy swap. Doesn't look like much but it took FOREVER to stamp & color all those pieces of candy. What do y'all think? Does it need something more???

July Stamp Camp IV

More GLITTER!! This was a interesting (and by that I mean MESSY) card to do. We took the sticky paper & stuck it to white paper (I wonder what this would look like w/a different paper) and then stuck it in dazzling diamonds. Then we cut it w/the Big Shot. Stamped & cut the medallion, added glue & more dazzling diamonds, stamped the white piece & added MORE dazzling diamonds. Talk about sparlke!!

July Stamp Camp III

Glitter, glitter, glitter everywhere!! The picture DOES NOT show how sparkly this card is! We stamped (ok, I stamped them for our whole table) the balloons on strips of DSP, smooshed (Sue's word) the whole thing into versamark, sprinkled w/Iridescent Ice & emobsossed. Then we cut each balloon out, stamped the balloon stamp again on the white & glued the DSP balloon's on top. Those big old grommets are kinda cool too.

I forgot to take a pic of the inside: there is another balloon & a gift card holder. NEATO!

July Stamp Camp II

This card was so much fun to make! I didn't stamp the whale well (see the tiny black smudge in the middle of his head?) but I love it anyway. Someone will be getting this card shortly.......

July Stamp Camp

Another Stamp Camp, another 4 projects. Here's #1. I love the idea of this card, not thrilled my the colors. (Y'all know how I feel about In-Colors! plus these are WAY bright!) Anyway, we stamped, punched, built brads and pop dotted our little hearts out. I will try to replicate this design w/some colors that are a little more "me".

More Projects Coming

I have pics downloaded and eventually, I'll get them posted here. I promise!

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......
