Swap Card

Here is a card I made for our team meeting this month. Selene http://stampinfunwithselene.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-inspiring-team.html was nice enough to take a picture of everyone's cards and she sent mine to me to put on my blog. You should check out everyone's cards. They are fabulous!

Cute as a bug

Another Saturday Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge. I liked this one. I am feeling "springy" today and went with some nice spring colors. I used the Love Bug stamp set together with the the Tea Party DSP. I even "pimped" out the bug's ride by adding some glitter to it - ha ha. Have a great day today!!

Happy Moments

So, I needed a birthday card in a pinch. I used the stack of presents from the Happy Moments stamp set. Wouldn't it be nice to get a stack of presents??

So, I love looking at all of the different blogs that are out there. It is so nice to get inspiration from other people. I look at Andrea Walford's blog every day. She has such great ideas and is very talented. When I saw this card, I thought it was a great masculine card and I needed a get well card for a guy. http://andreawalford.com/?p=4812

What do you think?

Same sketch different paper

So, at my scrapbook class with my upline Selene Kempton, we made this beautiful card. I just loved the colors she choose and the butterfuly cut out . . . well . . . :-) http://stampinfunwithselene.blogspot.com/2010/03/true-friend.html

I had to make a get well card and I thought I would use Selene's creation but with different paper. I love using Designer Series Paper as a focal point on the card. I was going to add some flowers (where the butterfly is) but I thought it would clash with the DSP I used. So my creation is on the right.

Thanks for the inspiration Selene!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Another Stamping 411 Challenge Sketch. Love this one with all of the layers. http://stamping411.blogspot.com/2010/03/saturday-sketch-challenge-142.html

So, I've never tried green beer but it looks good (*sort of*) Who knows, maybe this will be the year I actually try it :-) I used my Vintage Vogue jumbo wheel with versamark on the green cardstock, used lots of dimensionals to stack my layers and added crystal effects on the beer mug and glitter to the foam.

Here's to you - may we all try green beer this year!!

A card for my Mom

I hope my mom doesn't look at my blog (because this card is in the mail to her). Just a little surprise in her mailbox :-)

I got this layout from the Stampin Up Stampin Connection. It is like a facebook but for Stampin Up Demonstrators. People post their samples and then if you like them you can CASE it (copy . . and. . share. . everything) Great idea, huh??

P.S. I'm sorry, I don't remember who it was to give credit to as there are a ton of samples to go through. But whoever it was, I loved it!!
