Cards for a Friend....and survey?!?

Ok...stupid link to survey...was supposed to show what I was....and it's paper...made sense. but i'll have to go back & grab the details.

today I made these for a friend....for a bunco prize (wonder what bunco is?) and I rather like how they turned out. TOok about an hour...so good time killer & then I took the kids to the pool for 2 hours...and love our lifeguards. THey are so cute & fun....I pretend I am 22 when I talk to them too! HA!

what am i?

todays work & inspired by fabric

i made a few things today...spent most my time on the layout with emma....used her purse as inspiration!

part two of day two painted creations and a CHALLENGE TO YOU

loving this stuff more & more! it's hard to show on computer....but they are stunning in real life!

The Thinking of you card is for a funeral we have to attend tomorrow. A young dad of only 36 passed away suddenly....his wife & two young kids are so sad I am sure. That is an ok card for that right?

the two photos of a little bag....those are for a challenge! TO YOU! i challenge you to make a page/card/tag from that inspiration....and post it on YOUR BLOG, LINK HERE!!

day 2 of create a shade painting....

today I made two cards...hope to do more later....

Day 1 of my create a shade experiment

this is what i am having my hostess club do in august...use create a shade from ctmh to paint! we'll be painting some paper, dimensional letters...and shapes. so I had to play tonight!

Foot Ball season??? not for 35 days

or something like that. brian tells me every day how many days, hours, minutes & seconds...but i know we're in the 30's! here is a page from april...we went to lincoln, ne for the spring scrimmage. no...game. full blown game!! i used textured cardstock from ctmh, touchdown stamp, some black hinges, mini black brads....and cricut stamped font.

when it rains....you always get a

rainbow! aren't these amazing? it was over 97 today...and then this hit & dropped the temp to 72!

back to school?

Really? Did you know that mine start on aug 19th? that's not too far away! i am really ready....and not ready. i tend to like to sleep in...and well, school days ruin that. i also like to stay up late...and summers are good for that.

but routine...kids & adults really do thrive on a routine don't they? and school is good for that, good for daily socializing, excercise, etc. and well...they learn while at school.

i have to admit...i bought workbooks for the kids to do this summer....do you know how many hours we've spent on them ??? ZERO! Not a damn minute! oh no! hope they don't get stupid over the summer! haha!

the summer heat has not been too hot either...so it's been a nice summer!

Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers #21

Ok.....From Mary's suggestion I joined! I am a CTMH rep, a mom, a business owner, a wife, and what else???? I really like scrapbooking...kids help fuel that addiction. Great subjects make it easy to do. And stamping is just an extension of that. It's so fun to create & see immediate results. I love to send cards out & recieve them. I will go & visit all your blogs...and if you visit mine...look @ the side there is alist of Sisterhood blogs you will want to visit!

and today's work....***edited to add....

*********I used crystal blue, heavenly blue & sweet leaf I belive on frog cards. with desert sand to edge.
another bday card...i used a hole punch to get the 20 in a diff color!



i had fun with the frog stamp set, making thank you's today....and another birthday card.

Wedding & Birthday Card

Mary needed Inspiration for a wedding card...and I needed to make one for my sister to give out tomorrow. THis is what I made along with a few bday cards. they use the stamp of the month for august....great set!

Kids fishing

we have these ponds by our house...3 of them i guess. and they are full of fish. so full that you get a bite the moment the line hits. they are just sunfish, tiny. emma caught a HUGE one last time. as you can see. greatest thing...it's free! kids dont' need a license & I just watch!

phew...3rd of 3 posts today~

ok....so it took me a year....instead of the 52 days I Planned...oops! I was intending to decorate one card (from a playing deck) per day....and have it reflect my trials, tribulations, joys, etc from the 52 days. well....as you will see by looking @ these I struggle alot. daily which turns into weeks & months. and I have to say i am relieved to have FINISHED IT! there are a lot of techniques, art, simple, complicated work on here:

post 2 of 3

Ok...this is a new thing for me. i am the sketch creator for 2 peas stamping board this week...and this is my card for the sketch. i'll change this later & put a link to it. I had fun with these cards...used vellum & heat embossing! I'll upload the sketch later too!

1 of 3 posts for today

even with the little guy sick I snuck in a few creations!

this is a page I did of emma.....really busy, really bright...lots of buttons & texture (my style!)i used create a shade with chocolate reinker & tinted it. it's a bit darker irl

The new hair doooooo

Emma heads of to camp tomorrow...and for 6 days she gets ONE Shower. last summer she cut her hair just before going so it'd be easier to care for. She did the same thing this year....except it wasn't short enough...so she went back again today & snip snip! ISn't it CUTE???

And...getting in to stamping again

When my mojo/mood/creative ability GOES...it GOES bad...and for a long time. Then it takes a lot of work to get it back. KWIM? I work hard to be creative...and when I sit down & there is nothing in my mind I want to cry! I have all these toys & want to play damn it! So...I MADE myself sit & sit till something came to me! And by golly...it came tonight...in a plethora of unique ideas! Really...I impressed my little self. I was motivated by selling 8 cards @ work today...every little bit counts! I was sore from loading mulch in the yard....moving furniture for carpet cleaner...so I was forced into my creative space and took full advantage.
!

This card was using the waterbrush. I tore a piece of paper, put it down & water brushed blues over it..then peeled torn piece off to reveal white jagged edge. Where I stamped. I used liquid glass on vases to look like they are GLASS...and coloring pencils for flowers. I really, really like how the simple part of this card came out. there are no brads, no layers, no paper...just white daisy & Ink!

THis one again uses the SOLO Y! I have a client who ordered 2 and needs to sell one y! I told her if I use it I bet I can sell it to someone for her!! I stamped circles from diff. solo stamps, watercolored paper with kiwi. I stamped in kiwi, mounted on white, bubblegum (who ever uses that color). And stamped OU with chalk ink petals on vellum (lord I wish we carried these). I tied some string on Y...kinda cute.

Ok this one was JUST FUN...used squares from solos....and made a off kilter pattern. whtie ink to soften some boxes, white gel pen to trace, and pop dots on flowers, brads, kinda bright


really liked this one, showed how you can stamp on paper, with interesting designes & used a tag too.




a couple thanks a latte cards...nothing fancy here, colors are showing way off...they are much brighter in real life.





and here is a random elephant one...
